Wang Yunzhi found a clean blanket in the closet and laid it out for Jian Ai. She also took out a new towel for Jian Ai to use.
Jian Ai casually washed her face and went to bed while Wang Yunzhi sat in front of the mirror beside the bed and combed her hair. She immediately said in a casual tone, “Your uncle already bought a house. It’s a new neighborhood in Zhonglou District. It’s renovated and can be used as a marriage house.”
“So soon?” Jian Ai leaned back on the pillow and was surprised.
It had only been more than ten days, but he had already found a suitable house?
Wang Yunzhi immediately sighed softly. “How can it not be fast? Your grandparents are also anxious. Your uncle is not young anymore, and he’s finally getting married. If that woman has any requests, they have to satisfy them quickly.”
Wang Yunzhi was not like Wang Yunmei. She had a soft personality. Even though they did not like her at home since she was young, she was still very respectful to her elders even after getting married. She did not have many feelings for her brothers, but if it was a family matter, she could not help but worry.
She even tried to introduce girls from her factory to her brother before, but her brother’s personality was unlikeable. He liked to drink and play cards. After introducing a few girls to him, not only did they not succeed and but offended them instead.
Wang Yunfa was already in his thirties, and he was finally getting married. As his sister, she was happy for him.
Jian Ai nodded lightly when she heard that. Wang Yunzhi said, “But the bride’s family isn’t one to push their luck. Other than the house and the betrothal gifts, they didn’t ask for much. I heard that the bride isn’t young anymore as well, but that’s not important. As long as they know how to lead their lives together.”
Jian Ai pursed her lips and said calmly, “How is it enough just to know how to live? Uncle needs to find someone who can subdue him. Otherwise, who knows what his life would be like after marriage.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Ai asked curiously, “How much did he buy the new house for?”
“One hundred and twenty thousand yuan. It’s more than eighty square meters, and it’s renovated,” Wang Yunzhi said. “It’s just that the location is a bit off.”
Jian Ai nodded understandingly. Zhonglou District was not like Haicheng District or Wanbao District, and the property prices were not high.
His uncle sold two houses in South City and received two hundred thousand yuan for his family. If he got married, her grandma would definitely give him some money. Including the house and the betrothal gifts, there should be quite a bit of money left.
Jian Ai didn’t have any extra feelings for both her uncles. She didn’t even have a good impression of them. Since she could remember, these two people didn’t leave her with a good impression.
Her Elder Uncle didn’t interact with their family. Other than when the elders celebrated their birthdays or when they had no choice but to meet each other during the new year, he was usually a stranger.
She often saw her Younger Uncle, but every time he came, he only asked for money. Her mother helped him time and time again, but she didn’t help him much. In her previous life, both uncles weren’t even around during her mother’s funeral.
Not wanting to worry about her Younger Uncle, Jian Ai changed her position and lay down. She looked at Wang Yunzhi and asked, “Aunt, are you looking for a house?”
She had told her aunt that South City would be demolished and even bought their current house for them. Then, she planned to help them buy a new building outside lest the property prices increase during the demolition.
“How can it be that easy to find?” Wang Yunmei sighed helplessly. “Your uncle and I are so busy during the day that we can’t find the time. Moreover, we also plan to buy one that is closer to Yizhong. It will be more convenient for your brother to go to school.”
Jian Ai nodded in understanding. Yizhong was in Haicheng District. Even the surrounding second-hand houses in the old neighborhood were not cheap, which was why her aunt still could not find a suitable one.
