Zheng Sanyuan did not dare to ask for it, and whispered: "Brother, this is not possible. Your family members live on the 18th floor."
"Aren't there still floors 19 and 20?" Xue's father asked back: "The structure of other suites is almost the same. If it's not 18, why don't you want it?"
"I want it!" Zheng Sanyuan said quickly: "When I pay back the money, I will quickly buy a set for Lingling. By the way, they may all be gone. I have to ask her to give up her love and leave one set for me. No, I
I have to buy two houses anyway so that the elderly can live together when the family comes over. Seeing that A Yuan and his family live across the street, it is so convenient to come and go and they can take care of each other. This is simply not good."
"Okay, I'll tell my wife to leave two apartments for you." Cheng Tianyuan lowered his voice: "There is still a room upstairs, but she is not willing to sell it. The price has recently increased, and she is reluctant to part with it. She said she wants to keep it.
For rent.”
Father Xue couldn't help but laugh: "She already has so many houses to rent out, why do she need to rent out so many houses? Wouldn't it be better to take the money at once and make some fun? Collecting rent every month is very annoying.
!”
"It's not annoying." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Now the property management downstairs is being managed. Boss Liao is currently helping to take care of it, and there are five employees working regularly down below, arranging the cleaning staff of the mall and some property issues."
Father Xue said amusedly: "She probably can't even count how many suites she has!"
"Wrong." Zheng Sanyuan leaned lazily on the leather sofa and said with a smile: "How could someone as smart as Lingling not know!"
All three of them laughed.
After a while, Cheng Tianyuan went next door and brought pig heart soup for Zheng Sanyuan to drink.
"My mother cooked this and drank some ginseng. Uncle Zheng, it's not easy for you to eat alone, and you also need to rest. We will be responsible for your next three meals, please don't dislike it."
Zheng Sanyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know how to thank you anymore... How dare I dislike it. The doctor said it's too fatty and not delicious, but you can eat anything else. I just have a bowl of porridge with some side dishes."
"Okay." Cheng Tianyuan responded with a smile.
Although he promises so much in words, he is never sloppy in actions.
In addition to eating breakfast with everyone, some vegetarian dishes and non-fatty chicken breasts will be arranged for the other two meals. Occasionally, everyone will go downstairs to eat and take care of him as a patient.
Zheng Sanyuan was accompanied by many people, chatting and laughing with everyone, his mood became much brighter, and his health was getting better and better.
On Friday night, Zheng Datong took the bus back first.
Later, Cheng Tianyuan drove him to pick up his younger brother and sister home.
When the father and son met, all three children cried, hugging their father and sobbing.
Zheng Sanyuan smiled while wiping tears, "It's all over, it's all over. Children, the hardest part is over. Dad will get better soon, and our family's life will be better."
Zheng Datong sniffed and said with a smile: "Dad, why don't we go downstairs to have a big dinner to celebrate. My younger brothers and sisters eat at school and are usually very vegetarian, so we have to add food to them."
"Yes, yes." Zheng Sanyuan said with a smile: "Let's go downstairs to eat. Your Aunt Xue Ling gave me a sum of money at the factory the day before yesterday. You all should bring more with you when you go back on the weekend. You can add more food on weekdays. Now
We have a new home, and we will pick you up on weekends from now on, and daddy will give you some meat to eat."
The three children burst into tears and laughed.
That night, the three of them watched TV with their father, chattering about their interesting stories at school.
Zheng Sanyuan looked at the warm new house and the three energetic children, and his eyes narrowed with a loving smile.
The next morning, Zheng Datong took the pot and went downstairs to buy breakfast, and quickly brought it back to eat together.
“It’s very convenient to live here. After the elevator goes downstairs, you can walk around the back and there is a row of restaurants. They have all kinds of delicious food. It’s so good!”
The younger brothers and sisters were very excited and quickly helped set the dishes and chopsticks.
Zheng Sanyuan shouted in the room: "You guys eat first, and then go over after dad goes to the bathroom."
The younger brother looked happily at the new surroundings and said with a smile: "It feels... a bit like a dream. Dad is fine, and we have a new home..."
"It's just...there's no mother." My sister murmured, and her eyes turned red.
Zheng Datong and his younger brother were both stunned and fell silent.
After a long while, Zheng Datong was the first to speak: "Try not to mention mom in the future. Dad has decided to divorce mom... Unless she stops gambling in the future, I don't want to see her again. You all have to understand how difficult it is for dad."
My sister is my mother’s caring little cotton-padded jacket, and she couldn’t help crying when she heard this.
"But...she is our mother..."
Zheng Datong whispered: "Fool, of course she is still our mother. Dad said that we can still visit our mother after the divorce, and he will not stop us. It's just that he has to divorce her."
"That's right." The younger brother pouted with dissatisfaction: "If we don't get divorced, my mother will probably sell the factory in the future, and we may not even have to read books or even have food to eat."
After hearing this, my sister didn't dare to say anything more.
After a while, Zheng Sanyuan walked out and took out two 100-yuan bills for his eldest son.
"Datong, today is Saturday. After you have eaten, you will take your younger brother and younger sister downstairs to buy some daily necessities. You can buy whatever is needed in the school dormitory. Summer is coming, and if you need to add more clothes, you can add two sets per person."
"Thank you, Dad." The three children said in unison.
Zheng Sanyuan said happily: "Eat quickly and go shopping in the mall after eating."
Unexpectedly, halfway through eating, the phone in the living room rang!
Zheng Sanyuan stood up slowly and picked up the phone.
It was Secretary Gong from the factory who called, saying that his old mother-in-law and uncle had gone to the hospital and couldn't find anyone, so they hurried to the sweater factory.
"Boss, they said... they asked you to agree to take one thousand yuan... to go to the police station to rescue my sister-in-law... They also said that as long as my sister-in-law pays a fine, she can be released."
Zheng Sanyuan frowned and said: "Tell them, Lingling is watching over the factory now, and I can't make the decision. Their brothers and sisters want to rescue her, so they bring money, but I don't have it here."
Secretary Gong whispered: "They also said... they want to see you."
"This is not my place." Zheng Sanyuan explained: "The 18th floor is Lingling's own place. I'm just staying here temporarily. Just tell them so."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The three children ate quickly, said goodbye to him and went downstairs with a smile.
Zheng Sanyuan watched them leave with a smile on his face.
Without that annoying mother, the atmosphere at home finally changed from the previous dullness and depression and became cheerful.
That night, Xue Ling came back from the sweater factory and brought a bag of oranges to see him.
"This is a gift from my dad's friend. It's very sweet. Where are the children? Let them come out and eat the oranges."
Zheng Sanyuan explained: "We are all reading and studying in the house. I said, we play during the day and study at night."
Xue Ling sat down holding her belly and asked: "The children are here, but you don't dare to go to our house to eat? Then how do you arrange your meals? Can the children cook?"
Zheng Sanyuan answered with a smile: "There are so many restaurants downstairs, so why don't you worry about running out of food? When it's time to eat, several children go downstairs with pots to buy. It's still too hot to open upstairs."
