Chapter 128: Chapter 128: How Many Dates Can Five Million Buy
“The other party offered five million, and a villa in the city center,” said Mengmeng’s mom as she was packing up. Seeing Mengmeng’s expression, she suddenly blurted out.
“That, that, that much!?” Hearing this, Mengmeng, who had just been sad, immediately sniffed and hurried over to help with the packing, “Then we… better hurry up and don’t delay their demolition later!”
This rushed demeanor was as if she was afraid the other party might change their mind.
Do you really have to be so pragmatic!
Now that the compensation is good, you’re not sad anymore!
Gu Zhihan and the parents were all speechless looking at the little girl.
A few hours later, everything from both families had been packed and crammed into the moving company’s truck.
Mengmeng and the others got in the car while the demolition team had already started the excavator, ready to demolish the house.
“How come they are demolishing it so soon, I forgot to check if there was anything left in the house.” Mengmeng’s mom and Luo Mom murmured to themselves as they saw the excavator raising its claw.
“Don’t worry, it’s all empty.”
Both husbands hugged their wives into their arms.
“Did you pack up all your things?” Gu Zhihan glanced at Luo Mengmeng.
“All packed up…” Mengmeng had just finished speaking, but when she saw the tender green color sticking out above the roof, she couldn’t help but yell out, “No, we forgot to take one thing!”
Gu Zhihan and the others immediately looked at her in unison.
“The Jujube Tree! The Jujube Tree!” Mengmeng shouted at the top of her voice and then turned to knock on the window of the driver’s compartment, “Uncle driver, stop quickly, we left something behind and need to go back for it.”
The driver responded and was just about to stop the vehicle when a thunderous boom sounded from behind.
The Jujube Tree was already knocked down by the excavator along with the house…
They were a step too late.
Seeing the tree she had planted and nurtured over the years die before her, Mengmeng’s tears instantly fell.
“Wuu wuu wuu, the Jujube Tree is gone, ah wuu wuu wuu…”
She would never be able to eat jujubes from it again!
Wow! This is just too sad!
Seeing her so heartbroken over a tree, a few parents exchanged speechless glances before hurrying over to comfort her.
“Dear Mengmeng, don’t cry, that Jujube Tree was already so big, even if we had dug it up and taken it with us, it might not have survived.”
“Yeah, so don’t be sad about it anymore.”
“If you’re still very sad, why don’t you think about the five million.”
“Right, think about the five million, you can buy so many jujubes with five million.”
The parents comforted Mengmeng with a collective chirp; the atmosphere started off fine but quickly skewed askew.
“Ah! Why do you have to say it like that, now I’m suddenly not sad at all!” Mengmeng wiped her tears, hands on hips, and glared at them angrily.
She had been truly sad and regretful at first, but now, no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t feel sad.
After all, between the Jujube Tree and five million, she liked the latter more.
This was quite awkward.
“It’s your own materialism, and you blame us?” the parents murmured under their breath.
Don’t think I didn’t hear that.
Mengmeng embarrassed.
Gu Zhihan, who had been silently observing, couldn’t help but silently mourn the Jujube Tree for a few seconds in his heart…
Tree treasure, rest in peace.
