Rebirth Counterattack with Space

"Your eldest brother-in-law’s family really has some nerve. How could your mother-in-law be so muddled? What did your father-in-law say? Sister, you and your husband should think it through yourselves. Your family has two boys, and they’ll both need to get married someday. If they end up having sons... there will never be enough house to go around."

Xia Yuan frowned in indignation, "And your husband’s attitude—if you don’t want Gu Feng and Gu Meng to resent you later, even if your husband agrees, you can’t give in. Sigh, why didn’t you come to me earlier when you were short of money?"

"Didn’t I come to you afterward? I was never really counting on borrowing money from the Gu Family. I’ve seen right through them over the years, but they are still Gu Tianming’s parents, his brothers and sisters. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to say anything unpleasant."

Xia Na could still muster a laugh, and turned to comfort Xia Yuan, "Don’t get angry over this, it’s not worth harming your health. Building a house is a big deal, we couldn’t have kept it a secret from them, and not asking his own family for a loan first would’ve been disrespectful to Gu Tianming, right?"

Seeing Xia Na still able to laugh about it, Xia Yuan couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "Sister, how can you still laugh?"

"What should I do, cry instead? Besides, Gu Tianming didn’t just see through them this time, he also totally lost heart. You know, when we heard his brother and sister-in-law so confidently demanding their way, and the elders supporting them, we got so angry we just left. Halfway down the road, we remembered something we forgot to take, so we turned back. Heh, and that’s when we accidentally overheard his parents and brother and sister-in-law talking."

Xia Na sneered twice at the memory, buying a finished two-story building for three thousand yuan—she wouldn’t even dare dream of such a deal. His own parents might be muddle-headed, but they certainly weren’t. Never mind how difficult it is to secure a plot of land, three thousand yuan wouldn’t be enough to build two stories. Who would be happy being treated as fools like this? Would they dare to make such an offer to someone else?

"Turns out that from the five thousand yuan his eldest brother and sister-in-law said they could lend, the three thousand for the house came from his parents. The only two thousand actually from his brother and sister-in-law were supposed to be a loan to us."
