Zhao Dong was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
If the request came to him, Zhao Dong would definitely not be so hesitant. If he could do it, he would do it. If he couldn't, he would just give him a quick word.
But what the other party wanted was Sophie, which made him a little embarrassed.
As Zhao Dong fell silent, the atmosphere at home suddenly froze!
Mother Zhao is an elder and her face is relatively calm.
The eldest brother wanted to open his mouth, but unfortunately his sister-in-law pinched him.
As for the sister-in-law, her face immediately turned ugly. If it was really the Zhao family's fault, why did she still focus on Xiao Fei's dowry?
This means that there are no outsiders. If the Su family knows about it, how should they treat the Zhao family?
This is not a joke!
The elder sister-in-law was furious and was afraid that Zhao Dong would not be able to refuse, so she simply said for him: "Yongjie, if it's anything else, you don't have to ask Xiaodong, Zhao Da can help you."
"But with such a big house, how can this help you?"
When Sophie heard the topic mentioning the house, her mood was a little strange, but she quickly regained her composure.
Seeing that Sophie didn't respond, Zhao Yongjie said hurriedly: "I don't want to embarrass my second aunt, just go too far."
"Besides, Second Aunt's family is in good condition, so if the house is empty, it will be idle, right?"
"Second aunt, don't worry, we don't live in the house for free, we rent it!"
"You don't need a big one, you can just bring out a small one. We will pay you the normal rent, and it will definitely be a penny less!"
After hearing that the loan was not for nothing and that she was willing to pay the rent, the sister-in-law's expression softened a little.
It's not that she's stingy, it's that she's been given free rein by her family over the years, and no matter how good-tempered she is, she can't help but torment her.
Although what she said just now was a little offensive, she didn't want to watch Xiaofei being bullied by her relatives back home!
The eldest brother held the wine glass and said: "Yongjie, what are you talking about? The child's matter is a big deal, what is the rent and not the rent?"
"If you can help, we will definitely help!"
Sophie also said angrily: "Brother is right, we are all one family. I will take care of the house and forget about the rent."
Zhao Yongjie said hurriedly: "No, no, no, the rent must be paid. Second Aunt, if you refuse to collect the rent, you will slap me in the face!"
"Then I won't have the shame to drink this glass of wine!"
Sophie refused and reluctantly agreed to the rent: "Well, let's pay the rent at half of the market price."
Zhao Yongjie breathed a sigh of relief, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Why can't you speak for such a big man?"
The man stood up and said, "Second uncle, thank you!"
"When the wedding happens, you and your second uncle must come to have a wedding banquet!"
Zhao Dong still didn't speak and took a sip of wine.
After finishing a glass of wine, Zhao Yongjie spoke again, "Second Aunt, this matter is still a little troublesome. I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to cooperate with me."
Sophie was surprised, but she didn't show it on her face, "Just tell me."
Zhao Yongjie said kindly, "It's like this. Girls are also smart. If a rented house is not good, it must be bought."
Sophie agreed, "Okay, I'll say hello to the property manager then, and I promise I won't let anything slip."
"But Yongjie, since I am the elder, I will just say something."
"It's a good thing that two children have feelings for each other, but the marriage shouldn't be too utilitarian."
"I can help him with this matter. What if the girl wants a car or a job in the future?"
She didn't say anything in depth, she just stopped there.
Zhao Yongjie scratched his head, "Second Aunt, actually, the girl is nice and easy to talk to. She doesn't care whether Xiao Chuang has a house or not. She is the girl's parent...I will come and see it in person then."
Zhao Dong seemed to understand something and frowned slightly.
The sister-in-law changed her expression and said in an unhappy tone: "Yongjie, if you have something to say, just say it directly and don't beat around the bush!"
