Hearing this, Su Wanyu immediately asked, eagerly, "So can we get our house back, too?!"
Big Uncle Su nodded, "Originally, your family’s house had always been occupied by others. But this spring, suddenly, everyone moved out. I guess they had received a message from above, knowing that a house that wasn’t theirs wouldn’t stay with them, so they conscientiously moved out ahead of time."
"This is really great!" Su Wanyu said, both excited and thrilled upon hearing the news.
She had not anticipated that state policy would have improved to such an extent that they could even get their house back. However, when she arrived in Haicheng, she had known nothing about this and hence hadn’t brought the deed. It seemed that retrieving the house would have to wait until next time, but she was in no rush, knowing the house wasn’t going anywhere.
Jiang Changhai also hadn’t expected that their trip to Haicheng would bring such a pleasant surprise. This was a house in Haicheng, after all. A house in their small county town went for more than a thousand yuan. How much would the Su family’s large house in Haicheng be worth?
Taking a deep breath to calm her excitement, Su Wanyu said, "Uncle, I didn’t bring the deed with me this time. Let’s talk about it when I come back next time." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs Nove1Fire.net
"Alright, just remember this matter. Your father didn’t leave you much else, but this house is a keepsake," said Big Uncle Su with a nod, speaking wistfully.
Once back in town, Su Wanyu gave Big Uncle Su her phone number and address.
"Uncle, let’s keep in touch more often from now on," Su Wanyu said gently, looking at her uncle, who was showing signs of age.
"Wanyu, when are you leaving? Your uncle would like to see you off," said Big Uncle Su, his voice tinged with sadness.
When Su Wanyu was sent to the countryside, he had been too afraid of getting involved to see off his brother’s only daughter, which weighed heavily on him. But at that time, he had his own wife and children to consider.
"Uncle, there’s no trouble; we’ll be leaving in a few days," said Su Wanyu, her arm linked with Jiang Changhai’s, and a beaming smile on her face.
Big Uncle Su’s smile stiffened slightly, "Ah, good, then, then your uncle wishes you a safe journey ahead of time."
Looking at the couple in front of him, he knew his belated concern seemed somewhat cheap. After all, when Su Wanyu needed her family’s help and warmth the most, he had held back. Now that her family was happy and fulfilled, they didn’t need his concern anymore.
After parting from the Su family members, Su Wanyu’s steps were light, and she hummed a tune. Seeing his wife so happy made Jiang Changhai happy, too.
"What’s up? Wife, are you that happy to see your relatives?" Jiang Changhai asked with a chuckle.
"Yes, Brother Hai, over the years, knowing that Uncle had been looking for me, and that he had been offering incense and prayers for my father, I’ve come to terms with it. That they have done so much is already quite commendable," Su Wanyu said with a smile brimming in her eyes.
"Yes, well, it’s good that you can think like that. We don’t have enough time this trip. Next time we come over, we’ll pick an auspicious day to erect a headstone for Dad," Jiang Changhai planned.
Su Wanyu’s time for her exchange visit had come to an end, and she needed to return to work. Having been out for quite a while, he couldn’t stay in Haicheng any longer either.
With a lovely smile, Su Wanyu nodded in agreement, "Mhm, Brother Hai, I’ll go along with your plans. Next time we’ll bring the deed and take care of all these matters."
"Good, we’ll head home tomorrow. Let’s head to the department store now for a bit more shopping. We’ll buy some gifts for our daughter. You check if there’s anything else you want, and we’ll take it all back home," Jiang Changhai said grandly, waving his hand.
