Chapter 272 - 272 Persuasion
272 Persuasion
Li Shun thought for a moment and said, “Let’s build it near the village!”
It was quiet at the Luo family’s side, but it felt a little less lively.
Li Shun liked places that were bustling with activity, so he wanted to build a home closer to the village.
When Luo Cheng heard his father-in-law’s words, he thought for a moment and said, “I remember that there’s an empty s.p.a.ce on the way from the village to our house. It’s a good location that’s very close to the village, but you guys won’t be disturbed by the people around us. I think that place is very good!”
When Li Shun heard Luo Cheng’s words, he immediately thought of something.
“Are you talking about the place with the three banana trees?”
Luo Cheng nodded. “That’s it!”
Li Shun recalled carefully. The more he thought about it, the fonder he felt.
“I think it’s a good place. Let’s build it there! But we don’t know who owns that land. We have to ask the village chief first!”
“There’s no need to ask. That piece of land is also mine!” Luo Cheng said straightforwardly, “So we can build it directly! Tomorrow, I’ll find the group of people who built the shop previously to build the house!”
“Let us pay for it!” Li Shun said after a moment.
“Father, we’ll give you the money! This is an expression of our filial piety. You have to listen to me! Besides, the noodle stall earned a lot of money last year. You, Mother, and Xiao Qing contributed, so in a sense, this house will be built with your own money!” Li Xiaoran said firmly.
“Alright, alright, then your mother and I won’t stand on ceremony! However, we have to handle the furniture and furnishings ourselves!” Li Shun thought for a moment and agreed to this matter, but he made his request.
When Li Xiaoran heard her father’s words, she was puzzled.
“Father, are you planning to make them yourself? How long will it take you?”
“We can make some ourselves, but we still have to buy most of them. After all, it’s our new home, so we definitely have to buy new things! Don’t worry, I’m rich!” Li Shun said with a smile.
Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng looked at each other in disbelief.
“Father, where did you get the money from?” Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but ask.
Li Shun thought for a moment and said, “This matter was originally a secret, but there’s no need to keep it a secret now. Besides, I need Luo Cheng to help me!”
With that, Li Shun told them about what his grandfather had left him before he died.
“Although I don’t know what my grandfather left me, I’m sure there’s a sum of money in it. Your grandfather told me this clearly!”
When Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing heard this, their eyes widened.
They had suffered for nothing in the past! So they were actually rich!
The sisters’ first reaction was: Why didn’t their father take it out all these years before?
If they had these things, their family wouldn’t have led such a miserable life in the past!
However, on second thought, with her father’s personality in the past, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to keep these things.
Precisely because of this, Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing didn’t ask anything else and accepted this matter.
“Why are you all so calm?” Li Shun was puzzled by everyone’s reaction.
After he revealed such a big matter, they had to at least show him a reaction!
Li Xiaoqing looked at her father and said directly, “Father, we can earn money and support ourselves now. So what if we find out about that thing? We actually don’t need it at all! My sister and brother-in-law will help us build the house. We can buy some things that we need at the moment and slowly replenish the other things!”
Zhao Xiu and Li Shun looked at each other and suddenly felt that their youngest daughter was right!
There was no need for them to retrieve that thing at this moment.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “That’s right. Father, for some reason, I have a feeling that the thing Grandpa left for you isn’t a good thing. Instead, it will cause us more trouble. Otherwise, Grandpa wouldn’t have told you not to retrieve that thing unless you had no choice. Besides, it’s not like we don’t have other options! After the house is built, there won’t be enough money to buy necessities. We can lend you guys money first. When you earn money in the future, you can pay us back!”
This was also what Li Xiaoran said after considering her father’s pride.
In her opinion, they could just prepare all the furnishings and necessities for them, then let them move in. There was no need to go through so much trouble.
“There’s no need to borrow money! Why don’t we split the profits from last year’s noodle stall and shop?! Just this sum of money is a lot!” Luo Cheng thought of something and reminded her.
“Yes, yes, yes. I have the accounts here. After I calculate all these accounts in the next two days, we’ll split them!” Li Xiaoran immediately understood what Luo Cheng meant and said excitedly, “Father, Mother, you can’t refuse this. You two earned it!”
Li Shun and Zhao Xiu exchanged glances, then accepted their daughter and son-in-law’s kind offer.
There was no need to settle things too clearly.
If the children wanted to show filial piety, they should let them do it!
Anyway, it would be fine as long as the couple could earn money to support their family in the future.
After thinking it through, Li Shun nodded. The matter was settled.
Luo Cheng was very efficient. That same day, he asked Luo Ziyang to find someone to build a house.
After Li Shun’s pressure was relieved, he felt more energetic when doing woodworking!
Zhao Xiu and Li Xiaoqing went to the shop by the pipe to work.
Now, more customers were coming to the pipeline, so the business of knife-cut noodle stall boomed again.
Because there weren’t many people, Zhao Xiu and Li Xiaoqing could handle it.
Moreover, after Luo Ziyang delegated the construction of the house to a secret guard, he rushed back to the shop with Zhao Xiu and her daughter.
Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran stayed at home because some disabled soldiers would arrive at Helu Village today. Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran would bring them to the barren mountain to settle down.
There was no one at home, so Luo Cheng told Li Xiaoran what he had wanted to say previously.
“Wife, were you planning to hand over the business of the noodle stall to Father, Mother, and Xiao Qing?”
Li Xiaoran was also thinking about this, so she nodded.
“That’s right. Previously, I wanted to hand over the business of the knife-cut noodles and the fast-food business to Father and Mother. That’s why I needed a lot of manpower. Now that Father and Mother want to move out, I think I might as well hand over these two businesses to them!”
