Even if you are a demon, you must win glory for the country
Chapter 52: Darkness Arrives
"Hi, I accidentally fell a few days ago and broke a bone, nothing serious."
Granny Zhang opened her hands and shook them: "You can tell I'm okay just by looking at me like this."
Just then a woman in a white dress walked in carrying a thermos bucket.
When she saw Li Sui, she was surprised. Grandma Zhang continued to introduce with a smile: "Afang, this is my tenant's daughter. Li Sui, this is my eldest brother's daughter-in-law."
Li Sui suddenly became subtle.
Grandma Zhang's eldest brother...
Li Sui occasionally heard Li Ping mention the gossip about Grandma Zhang's family. It was said that Grandma Zhang had a falling out with her eldest brother over the house issue a few years ago.
It seems that when the house was being allocated and demolished, Grandma Zhang's parents were still alive, and most of the houses belonged to her parents.
Later, no one knew what happened, her parents gave all eight sets of the big house to Grandma Zhang, and only gave two sets to Grandma Zhang's eldest brother.
From then on, Grandma Zhang and her eldest brother cut off contact.
Honestly, this is a very rare occurrence.
Xiacheng is no longer a city where there is a serious preference for boys over girls, but in the past, this situation was quite serious.
When it comes to allocating houses during demolition, it’s not even the married daughter’s turn, but Grandma Zhang’s parents did the opposite.
Li Sui didn't know more and wisely didn't ask.
He just smiled and said hello: "Hello."
The woman named Afang also smiled politely, pursed her lips, with the smile not reaching her eyes, and lowered her head to fiddle with the thermos.
"Aunt, this is the chicken soup for you."
Grandma Zhang smiled and said, "Afang, you've worked hard."
He turned around and asked Li Sui in a friendly manner: "What do you want to see grandma for?"
Li Sui saw that the woman named Afang paused, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Li Sui didn't care and directly explained his purpose: "Grandma, you know that my mother and I have lived in 602 for so many years. Now my mother has returned to Fucheng. I have feelings for this place and don't want to leave for the time being. I want to buy the apartment in 602. I wonder if you are willing to sell it?"
"Buying a house?" Grandma Zhang showed a hint of surprise in her eyes: "It seems that you have really made a fortune."
Li Sui chuckled twice.
When Afang heard this, she immediately shifted her attention to Li Sui.
Grandma Zhang was very easy to talk to: "You have lived here for more than ten years. I understand. If you want to buy it, I will sell it to you. Just give me a compromise price, 180 million."
Li Sui was surprised: "Then you are at a disadvantage, right?"
The market value of this house is now approaching two million.
Only 1.8 million is enough to show that Grandma Zhang is kind.
"You've lived here for so many years. You and your mom have helped grandma so much in the past. What else do you want grandma to be particular about? When she's discharged from the hospital, she'll transfer the property to you and make up your mind."
Cheng Fang couldn't help but say: "Auntie..."
Li Sui and Grandma Zhang both looked at her.
Grandma Zhang still smiled: "Afang, do you have anything to say?"
Cheng Fang's lips trembled. She wanted to say something, but Li Sui was here, so what could she say?
Li Sui glanced at Cheng Fang and smiled, "Okay, grandma, I'll pick you up when you're discharged from the hospital."
There was no need for Li Sui to refuse Grandma Zhang's kindness, and she accepted it. Grandma is old and has no children around her. Her only biological child works abroad, so she can visit Grandma Zhang often.
Li Sui settled the matter and seeing that Grandma Zhang was in good spirits, he let her have a good rest and left without saying anything else.
After all, she could see that Cheng Fang must be dissatisfied.
As soon as Li Sui left, Cheng Fang couldn't help but said, "Aunt, are you so confused? The house prices in Yueliang Community start at at least two million. If someone really wants it, 210 square meters can be sold. You reduced the price by in one go... !"
"What do you mean by 200?" Grandma Zhang, who was smiling just now, looked gloomy. "If the listing price is 200 million, will it definitely sell for million? The housing prices are gradually falling now. Who knows when it will collapse drastically?"
"Besides, I have known them for more than ten years. Her mother used to visit me often. As for the girl mentioned earlier, a few years ago, I encountered a tenant who was causing trouble. He owed me rent and refused to leave. He even wanted to push me around. It was she who solved the problem for me."
"What's wrong with having less money? Can I live a few more years with that little money? I might as well give it to the little girl."
Granny Zhang said slowly, "Where were you and my elder brother at that time?"
Cheng Fang's face turned pale and blue. After a while, she murmured, "Aunt, after all, we are your relatives. She is just an outsider."
Grandma Zhang waved her hands impatiently and continued to take out her phone to watch: "Be quiet, I want to watch the video, don't bother me."
"..."

Li Sui couldn't help but feel curious, so he sent a message to Uncle Wu on WeChat as soon as he left the hospital.
[Li Sui: Uncle Wu, if you add me to your new community group, I won’t tell Aunt Wu that you lost 1,300 yuan playing mahjong a few days ago.]
Wu Xingguo did not reply to the message.
But three minutes later, Li Sui was pulled into a "Bright Future Group, Building 21, Moon Community".
When Li Sui entered, several messages were quickly refreshed in the community group.
But after it showed '702 Wu Xingguo invited 602 Li Sui' to join the group, no latest news was posted.
Li Sui believed that Wu Xingguo had been scolded a lot in private, so he checked the online group and found that Grandma Zhang was not in the group.
Well, it seems the community group is carrying more than one.
After a while, only one person sent a message
[602 Li Ping]: See, I told you that I am not the ultimate traitor. Old Wu was probably caught with something.
[602 Li Sui]: I want to inquire about my landlord, Grandma Zhang. If you have any information, please report it to me immediately. I will not pursue the matter of you setting up the group behind my back.
One minute later, someone @黎岁 sent a voice message.
[201 Zhong Mingjuan]: @602 Li Sui, oh, don’t you know about Grandma Zhang’s situation? She broke her leg not long ago, and her eldest brother’s daughter-in-law immediately ran over and said she would take care of this aunt.
【301】:@201Zhong Mingjuan? Didn’t they say that Grandma Zhang and her eldest brother had a falling out? What’s wrong with this daughter-in-law?
Thanks to the powerful intelligence network of the neighbor on the second floor, Li Sui found out what was going on.
It turns out that Grandma Zhang’s eldest brother was not her biological brother. His parents adopted him because they felt it was not good to have only one daughter.
Later, when he got old, it was agreed that all eight houses in the Yueliang Community that were to be demolished would be given to him, and the other two would be given to Grandma Zhang.
But who knew that this big brother would be unwilling.
As the saying goes, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. Grandma Zhang is already married, so she can be sent away with a few tens of thousands of dollars at most. How can she be given a house?
That house should all belong to him.
At that time, Grandma Zhang had just lost her husband and was already devastated. Who would have thought that her eldest brother would say such words.
At that time, Grandma Zhang's parents also realized how stupid the way they adopted a child was. In the end, they still had a conscience and transferred all eight houses to Grandma Zhang before they came to their senses.
The other two sets were given to her elder brother out of old friendship.
It is said that the tearing was very ugly. Grandma Zhang's eldest brother was almost unreasonable and even angered Grandma Zhang's parents to death.
It was Grandma Zhang’s son who suddenly came back and solved the problem.
Zhong Mingjuan also said: [Grandma Zhang’s son has always been mysterious. I heard that he didn’t come home for several years after he started working. He didn’t even come back to see his father when he passed away.]
Only then did Li Sui realize that there was such a sad story about Grandma Zhang.
Her impression of the old lady was always that of a smiling old lady. At that time, Li Sui helped her drive away a difficult tenant, and it was the old lady who took Li Sui to a western restaurant for the first time to have a seafood dinner.
At this moment, the name of the group suddenly changed.
[The group owner changed the name of '21 Buildings Bright Future' to '21 Buildings Darkness Coming']
Li Sui: “…”
How bold!
