Chapter 980 - 980 982 Could it be... Im good at making phone
?Chapter 980: Chapter 982: Could it be… I’m good at making phone calls? (Large Chapter) Chapter 980: Chapter 982: Could it be… I’m good at making phone calls? (Large Chapter) The young couple who brought the elderly man were not locals of the capital.
The old man, named Zhao Kai, was 77 years old this year. His spouse had passed away seven or eight years ago, and he lived alone.
He had two sons and two daughters, all residing in the capital.
In his youth, Zhao Kai was quite capable, having opened a factory in Langfang and earned a considerable sum of money.
He had also managed to acquire a few sets of property in the capital during favorable times.
Back then, the houses were small in size. A family of six couldn’t possibly fit, and large flats weren’t popular at the time, so the old man bought an apartment in a complex—one floor, two rooms—which undoubtedly made things much more convenient.
To say he was wealthy would be an overstatement.
Later, when his children married, he gave the houses to them and kept the old one for himself.
Firstly because it was an old neighborhood which his son and daughter-in-law looked down upon, and secondly, he was aware that as his children grew up, they didn’t like staying with him.
After his spouse passed away, the old man tidied up a room and rented it out, otherwise the place felt too deserted and was quite bothersome.
But this rental brought trouble; first, the eldest son came back crying, explaining how his grandson wanted to study abroad, and the family had a mortgage on a new house to pay, causing financial strain.
Moved by compassion, and thinking that he’d eventually leave everything to them anyway, Zhao Kai had the tenant transfer the rent directly to his son.
When the younger son found out, he too came around, followed by the two daughters.
A dispute erupted, and the old man reluctantly decided to alternate the rent between his two sons annually.
Once money was involved, it became a big issue.
A couple of years prior, as Zhao Kai lived alone without much zest for life, an old friend suggested introducing him to a companion.
He mentioned that one shouldn’t be too lonely in old age as it made one prone to passing away sooner.
After some discussion, a few old friends prepared to introduce him to an elderly lady.
Zhao Kai initially resisted the idea, feeling it was akin to remarrying.
However, after getting to know her, he found it surprisingly pleasant, and the two, not bothering with formal marriage, started living together quietly.
But once their children found out, they came back to confront Zhao Kai.
“Dad, she’s just eyeing our family’s property. Our neighborhood is prime real estate; a relocation could fetch millions per square meter!”
“Right, you can’t get married. That old lady has three sons, and rumor has it one is still unmarried. What if they start clinging to our family, then what?”
“Exactly! Dad, you can’t be muddled!”
“And imagine how sad my mom would be if she knew!”
