Chapter 161
While everyone was making a fuss, Ye Wenhui and Ye Ke had already quietly chosen their houses. They chose a three-bedroom apartment of 100 square meters and five two-bedroom apartments of 65 square meters, which was 25 square meters more than the agreed area, and they paid an additional 16,000 yuan.
Ye Wenhui had discussed with her two daughters early in the morning that the three-bedroom apartment would be kept for them to live in, and the remaining five two-bedroom apartments would be rented out.
Although they have always lived in Ancheng, they would come back every New Year and leave a house so that they would have a place to rest when they come back.
Besides, her family doesn't need the money from renting out this house.
After Ye Ke's family was chosen, the eldest uncle and the younger uncle went forward one by one to choose a house. Seeing Ye Wenhui and the younger aunt whispering about something, they suddenly reacted.
"Auntie, you can't choose the room?"
In the past, when they'd bought a barren mountain, bought a house, and raised money for investment, everyone had always come together. Seeing her aunt come back with her this time, Ye Ke took it for granted. It wasn't until she saw her eldest uncle, auntie, and younger uncle approaching to choose a house that she suddenly realized her aunt didn't have any land to build a homestead, so there were no houses to choose from!
My aunt said it as a matter of course, with the same innocent eyes as the Ye family, "Yes! So what?"
Ye Ke scratched his head, "Aren't you busy?"
I actually have the time to join in the fun.
Who knew that when my aunt heard these words, her face immediately began to droop, and her straight back gradually slumped, as if she had lost hope in this world.
Busy!
Why isn't she busy?!
My aunt sighed deeply and said, "I can't stay in that house any longer."
Since the demolition, the family has moved up to a life standard where they no longer have to worry about food and clothing. Her husband He Zhiming hired another person in the store so that she doesn't have to work so hard.
The original intention was good, but things tend to go wrong when people are idle.
It was during this leisurely state that she focused on He Siyuan's studies.
He Siyuan's grades weren't too bad; he'd even barely made it to a key high school this year. He was also quite intelligent, his only flaw being that he was easily distracted. Whenever it came time to do homework, he'd suddenly become interested in everything.
Every time I procrastinated and wrote until eleven o'clock in the middle of the night. In the end, I had to give in and finally I could barely finish the homework.
At first she thought the teacher had assigned too much homework, until she exchanged information with people around her at the parent-teacher meeting and realized the reason.
The teacher only assigned an hour's worth of homework! He Siyuan's deskmate in the class could finish it by 9:30 every day!
She felt that this was not a good way to go, and that a tree would not grow straight if it were not pruned, so she had to supervise He Siyuan's studies.
However, how could she easily change He Siyuan's decades-long study habits? She was full of energy at first, appearing around He Siyuan every day like a guerrilla fighter.
Just to monitor He Siyuan's homework progress at all times and check if he is distracted.
Under her supervision, He Siyuan maintained this study rhythm until the monthly exam.
As a result, the sky fell. Despite her diligent and hard work, He Siyuan's grades dropped.
She reflected deeply on herself afterwards and decided to let it go. The child had his own learning pace and she should not interfere.
Although He Siyuan's grades weren't at the top of the class, they weren't at the bottom either. And even if He Siyuan didn't achieve anything in the future, her family's financial resources were enough to support him in a stable life.
In this way, she persuaded herself to let go step by step.
However, even though I succeeded in persuading him, I still feel uncomfortable in my heart. Now I am just trying to maintain an escapist state of out of sight and out of mind.
So when she heard that the village was going to choose a house, she wanted to join in the fun even though she didn't have a house to choose from.
Ye Ke didn't care much after hearing this. Studying is not the only way out. His cousin is obviously such a person. His talents all lie elsewhere.
