118: Chapter 118 Mother Ye Teaches Her Daughter
"Hubby, let's just find a parking spot on the roadside and stop for a while! It'll save us the trouble of driving in."
Li Luo had the same idea.
After he parked and got out of the car, Xu Wei stepped forward, took his arm, and walked toward the residential area.
Not long after the two of them returned home, the people from the moving company arrived.
Then, Xu Wei directed several people to start moving various miscellaneous items downstairs.
Of course, Li Luo told her to just throw away some of the old things; they could just buy new ones later.
Besides, the items in the villa over there were basically all provided as a set; they could buy whatever else they needed later.
Seeing that almost everything except for the items in the rooms had been moved, what remained were the things that came with the rental.
Xu Wei checked once more, and after confirming nothing was missed, she went to the balcony and looked at the various cardboard boxes neatly stacked in the corner, her heart instantly filled with mixed emotions.
In her memory, ever since her father passed away, many cardboard boxes had gradually accumulated in the house.
They were all picked up by her mother on the way home from work; to earn those few cents of price difference, she had kept them stacked here, intending to personally pull them to the scrap station to sell on some day off.
Thinking about it now, her mother had raised her and her brother alone; one could imagine the hardships she had endured.
Seeing her standing on the balcony for a long time without moving, Li Luo couldn't help but walk over curiously.
After glancing at where the Girl was looking, he roughly understood the situation.
Then he gently patted her on the shoulder.
"Alright, don't think too much about it. Didn't I see many small advertisements posted at your stairwell? I'll go look for a scrap collector to come over and sell them along with these old things outside."
After hearing this, Xu Wei gave him a sweet smile.
"Thank you, hubby. You're so good to Wei Wei."
Li Luo raised his hand and rubbed her cheek.
"If I'm not good to you, who would I be good to? Hurry up! Let the masters clear out your brother's room first."
"Okay, hubby. Then I'll go tell them. By the way, I'll also pack my own clothes."
She couldn't let the masters help pack her and her mother's undergarments. After she packed them herself, she could then let the masters help move them down.
"Yeah, go ahead! I'll go to the stairwell to look for those scrap collection advertisements."
An hour later.
Looking at the slightly empty house, Xu Wei was filled with emotion.
After all, this was the home she had lived in for so many years; it was impossible not to feel some attachment.
"Alright, Wei Wei, let's go! If you miss it, you can just come back and visit occasionally in the future."
Hearing this, Xu Wei took one last look around before slowly withdrawing her gaze and turning to him with a faint smile.
"I know, hubby. Let's go!"
Coming downstairs, they saw various daily necessities already loaded onto the truck, and an old man collecting scrap nearby was also moving various unused old items onto a tricycle.
Old Chen then asked politely.
"Boss, the things are all packed. Where should we deliver them now?"
"To the Jinlan Mansion villa area. I'll head over first to wait for you."
"Alright, boss. We'll be right there."
Li Luo watched as the three vehicles drove out of the neighborhood one after another, and the two of them followed to the entrance of the residential area.
Fifteen minutes later, several vehicles arrived at the villa entrance one after another.
As for what followed, it was much faster. Three people were left to unload, while the others entered the villa and began organizing.
In just half an hour, everything was settled.
Li Luo glanced at the time; it was barely eleven o'clock.
Seeing that there was nothing left for them to do, Old Chen hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Boss, everything's done, so we'll pack up and head out."
Seeing this, Li Luo nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, how much is the total for the move?"
"The moving fee is a total of one thousand six hundred and fifty yuan."
"Fine, I'll just scan two thousand six hundred for you. You guys can split the rest yourselves!"
The few of them looked at each other in surprise, and in their excitement, they said in unison.
"Thank you, boss!"
After the few people left, Xu Wei also said with a happy face.
"Hubby, let's go too! We'll just find a restaurant outside the neighborhood and have them come over."
Subsequently, Xu Wei selected a restaurant named Yi Xing Restaurant and sent the location and name to her brother.
The moment Xu Jun received the message, he called his girlfriend, Ye Qinghe.
After hearing it, Ye Qinghe also said she would set off with her parents immediately.
Following that, Xu Jun called the caregiver he had arranged in advance, gave some instructions, and then ran out of the hospital.
On the way to Yi Xing Restaurant.
Mother Ye sat in the back row, holding her daughter's hand, and asked curiously.
"You said your Sister Weiwei really found such a rich man?"
"Of course. My brother-in-law drives a ferrari. You tell me, is he rich or not?"
Mother Ye annoyedly tapped her daughter's forehead.
"I don't care what kind of 'rari' he drives. Even if he flies a plane, it's his own. I only care about our own interests."
"And let me tell you, when we talk about things later, don't side with outsiders. Your father and I raised you this big; it's only right for us to ask for a basic guarantee for you."
Hearing this, Ye Qinghe said in a low voice.
"Sister Weiwei has already let us live in a villa. Later, you should ask for a bit less bride price."
"Impossible."
Mother Ye said categorically on the spot.
"I say, you silly Girl, does that villa have anything to do with you? Even if you get married, you're just a tenant."
"If you guys have a conflict and want to divorce in the future, will you be able to get a single cent of benefit?"
Ye Xinghe immediately said indignantly.
"Dad, look at what Mom is saying!"
Father Ye, who was driving, glanced in the rearview mirror and then tried to persuade his wife with kind words.
"Qing He hasn't even gotten married yet, and you're already talking about her getting a divorce. It's bad luck. Besides..."
"Shut up!" Before Father Ye could finish, Mother Ye angrily interrupted him.
"Ye Zhenhua, let me tell you, if you think what I'm saying makes no sense, then if anything happens to your daughter in the future, you take care of it yourself."
"Don't you know how high the divorce rate is nowadays? It's not that I don't want the young couple to get married; I'm just doing the groundwork in advance, preparing for a rainy day."
"If something really happens in the future, we'll have a plan to deal with it. Or can you guarantee that your daughter will never get divorced in her life?"
Seeing this, Father Ye stopped talking and focused on driving.
As for Ye Qinghe, she didn't dare to talk back to her mother anymore; besides, she also knew her mother was doing it for her own good.
Furthermore, she had also told A Jun about the 180,000 yuan bride price, and he was clearly prepared for it.
Seeing that the father and daughter were silent, Mother Ye finally showed a slight smile.
"Since you two don't object anymore, talk less later. I'll handle the entire conversation with them."
Five minutes later, the three of them arrived at Yi Xing Restaurant.
Xu Wei, who was waiting at the door, immediately went up to greet them.
