Chapter 175 Worrying
Luo Bin really did not want to stay in this house any longer. Everyone in the courtyard was unfriendly to him, but he could not return to Qingshan Village either, as he had not repaid the money he took from home last time.
He had no choice but to go to bed, cover himself with the quilt, and sleep deeply, just pretending not to hear anything.
Inside the house, Qiao Juan said, "When will these chaotic days come to an end? Living in this courtyard really drives me crazy."
Hearing his mother’s words, Luo Tao asked, "Mom, how much money do we have left? If we could buy another courtyard, it would be great. My girlfriend has said that if I don’t have a house, she definitely won’t marry me."
Qiao Juan sighed and said, "Not much. Initially, only your grandfather had a formal job. Our family got dragged to the farm because of his influence. Your grandfather passed away early, and when we returned to the city, we only got compensated for those two years of salary according to the policy.
We spent some when we settled down and bought stuff, and your second uncle gave some money to the Qingshan Village side when he brought Luo Bin back. After we moved back to the city, we also gave some to your maternal grandparents.
There wasn’t much left when we divided the family assets. And with the job transfers you all made a while ago, we spent some more. Now I have only over three hundred yuan in hand; it’s probably not enough to buy a courtyard."
Luo Tao said quietly, "Three hundred is indeed too little, but it might be enough to buy one room. When I have time, I’ll ask around to see if there’s a suitable single room available. I can’t let my brother and sister be without a place to live when I get married."
Qiao Juan thought her eldest son was right. No girl would want to marry into a family without a house, but for the sake of her son’s marriage, she couldn’t leave her other children homeless either.
She glanced at Luo Tiancheng, who was sitting beside her: "What do you think, Dad?"
