Chapter 151 The Zhou Family’s Guests of Honor
Si Nian was shocked by the scale of their gift-giving.
There were so many...how could she possibly use them all? Besides, she had no gift in return.
After all, in a place like Dijing where every inch of land is valuable, she couldn't afford to buy anything.
At least what she bought might not be good enough in front of them.
Si Nian was so frightened that she felt the bracelet on her hand was burning: "No, no, these are too expensive, I can't take them, I can't take them!"
The main thing is that I can’t afford it!
Zhou Jinan knew what Si Nian was thinking, and he said softly, "Niannian, don't feel pressured. This is a small gift between our family members, and it's also a ritual to welcome you back. You just need to accept it."
To them, it is indeed not a very precious gift, but it is their thoughtfulness.
Si Nian: "..."
What the hell is this sense of ritual... What kind of sense of ritual is worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions?
Although she didn't know the exact price of the villa, but... Chengnan is very precious, hundreds of millions is nothing...
"Can...."
"It's nothing to worry about. You just need to accept it without any burden." Zhou Jinan also took out a gift, a very simple and crude document.
"I bought this house from Huo Beixiao. From now on, this will be your home. You can live wherever you like. You don't need to pay rent to Huo Beixiao anymore."
Originally, what he said before was very normal, and it sounded normal to the old man. However, when he heard that Huo Beixiao was collecting rent, he instantly became unhappy!
"You're actually still charging rent from my Nian Nian? Do you think that's appropriate? Don't you know how hard it is for my Nian Nian to live? Huo Beixiao, I really misjudged you!"
He just started to lecture Huo Beixiao, leaving him stunned.
Ah... um... is it possible that he didn't know anything before this?!
Huo Beixiao: "Grandpa...I didn't know anything before!"
He felt very wronged. He didn't have to worry about anything for a whole year. Is 8 yuan in rent really that expensive?!
Mr. Zhou: "...That won't do. Nian Nian is a girl after all, and you don't have any sympathy at all!"
Huo Beixiao: “….”
Si Nian held his forehead, feeling that his grandfather was being a little unreasonable.
"Grandpa, Huo Beixiao didn't know I was a child of the Zhou family before. This has nothing to do with him. Besides, the market price of a house like this is not enough to rent for less than 8 or yuan a month, and he only rented it to me for yuan a year... It's very cheap, and I can afford it..."
"That won't do either. It's fine if he rents it to you, but he's charging 8 yuan in rent. That's just too much!"
Si Nian was about to say something when she was interrupted. She felt like...her grandfather did it on purpose.
What a coincidence, Huo Beixiao also realized this problem.
Grandpa was just taking advantage of the situation, so I have to admit that I was a bit mean and actually irritated him.
They say that the food cooked by Nian Nian is really delicious. It would be really irritating if the old man didn’t get to eat it!
No wonder they are targeting me now.
But...he couldn't say it, otherwise he might be kicked out today.
He could only helplessly say: "Then I will return the rent to Nian Nian. This matter is indeed my fault. How can I ask the eldest lady of the Zhou family to pay the rent?"
Si Nian: "..."
"No, no, I..."
Zhou Jinan chuckled: "Niannian, you don't have to worry about Huo Beixiao. The 16 is nothing to him. Just let him transfer it to you."
Huo Beixiao: “…”
He is really my good brother. I feel like he doesn’t like me very much today!
Si Nian inexplicably earned 16 yuan.
"Thank you, Mr. Huo."
Huo Beixiao laughed dryly twice, and glanced at Zhou Jinan unconsciously: "You're welcome."
Zhou Jinxing's gift was still a bank card. He said expressionlessly, "They've already bought everything they could, so I can only give you money. Buy whatever you want."
Si Nian: "..."
Received the second card from this second brother.
It’s really rare to see a brother who is keen on giving cards!
Zhou Jinshen mercilessly mocked Zhou Jinxing: "Brother, this is not okay. You spent so much time thinking about the gift and this is it?!"
Zhou Jinxing: “…”
The gift Zhou Jinshen gave was not much better. What he gave was a bank card carefully wrapped in a gift box!
Si Nian: "..."
Is this just like the pot calling the kettle black?
"Niannian, the card I gave you is also different. You'll know later!"
"Thanks....."
Si Nian felt that these gifts were too hot to handle and she didn't even know whether she should accept them. However, Xiao Xiao and Zhou Jinan tried to persuade her that as a family, they shouldn't care so much.
So...Si Nian soon accepted it as advised.
**
Si Nian had just put down the gift when Si Murui and Si Mufeng arrived.
Si Murui had the password, so it was very convenient for him to enter. The moment he opened the door, he even teased: "Niannian, what day is today? You actually invited me and your fifth brother to dinner. Did you know that we will continue the tour tomorrow..."
Si Murui's words were stuck for a moment. He didn't expect so many people to come.
This cannot be blamed on Si Nian, it should be that he did not read the message.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou..."
Si Murui greeted everyone one by one, and Si Mufeng followed suit.
"Fourth brother and fifth brother, come quickly. I'm waiting for you to eat. I made all the food today, and my aunts and daughters helped!"
Si Nian's casual words almost drove Xiao Xiao crazy!!!
Aunt!
Si Nian called them aunt!
that is really good!
"Then your fifth brother and I are in for a treat today."
Si Murui was very surprised because they had never eaten food cooked by Si Nian at home. It might also be because he and Xiao Wu spent little time at home and rarely met them.
"Sit down, sit down!"
"Now that everyone is here, let's have dinner."
Mr. Zhou spoke in a deep voice, and the elders started to chopsticks first...
Old Master Zhou suddenly raised his glass towards Si Murui and Si Mufeng: "Si family boys, Nian Nian said that you took good care of her in the Si family. I, an old man, am very grateful to you. If you hadn't let Nian Nian feel the love of family, it might have been difficult for us to let her go home..."
Si Murui was flattered. He stood up with Si Mufeng and his wine glass. He said gently, "Mr. Zhou, you're joking. This is what Xiaowu and I should do. Put yourself in her shoes. Nian Nian helped Xiaowu and me a lot when we were young, and even took good care of Xiaowu. It's only natural for us to love her now that we've grown up."
Mr. Zhou didn't take it seriously: "Don't talk about what you should do. Just look at the other people in your family and you'll know that you two have good intentions. If you have any problems in your work or life in the future, you can always find... find Jin An or Jin Shen and Jin Xing... They will be your guarantee in the future."
Mr. Zhou never made promises lightly, but now he actually promised two people who could be his grandsons...
Si Murui was shocked. He had never done anything for Nian Nian, but he didn't expect that because of Nian Nian, he would become a guest of honor in the Zhou family...
