Chapter 279 A Fatal Problem
"It's okay, I can carry it by myself."
"We'll have to climb the stairs soon, so let's each take a little."
You really have to climb the stairs, and you have to climb five floors.
Ye Lian complained, "Why didn't you buy a shorter one? It's fine for you young and strong to climb this building, but it will be inconvenient for you to climb up and down with your children in the future."
Lin Yuyao said, "This house is in high demand. We bought it through a lottery, and this is the one we got."
"Huh? Houses are so expensive, and people are still scrambling to buy them?"
"Yes."
The two clicked their tongues in amazement, thinking to themselves that big cities really do have a lot of rich people.
If this were in their rural area, anyone who could come up with 10,000 yuan would be considered a big deal; they would be an enviable family with 10,000 yuan in savings.
The workers are currently renovating; they've already done the plumbing, electrical work, painting, and tiling, and are now working on the carpentry.
Upon seeing Lin Yuyao, they quickly called her over to check if the study's decor was correct.
"Young lady, we've been wanting to contact you for a while, but we didn't dare to bother you because you're busy with your wedding. It's so good that you're here today! Come and see if the cabinet is installed correctly?"
The house has no shared area, and the study is quite spacious.
As per Lin Yuyao's request, a row of cabinets was made on each side.
On one side, bookshelves are placed; a standard bookcase 35 cm thick is sufficient, covering an entire wall.
The other side is also filled with cabinets.
Because Fu Huaiyi liked collecting things, a row of display cases was made for him.
Make one half with glass to display his collection, and the other half without glass to display things that are not suitable for display.
A large table, 1.8 meters long, is placed in the middle.
It's enough for the two of them, and it'll be enough to help their children with their homework in the future.
The workers followed the requirements strictly, except for one design that puzzled them.
“You said you wanted to run an electric wire in the middle of the road, and the electrician did it, but it wouldn’t be good if water got in when you’re mopping the floor or something.”
Lin Yuyao: "Didn't we leave an extra piece of thread?"
"Yes, we left some for you. It's here, more than a meter long on the ground."
"This is it. The large wooden table will be placed here, the cable will run up the table legs, and the power strip will be attached to the bottom of the table."
"Oh, is that how it's done?"
"Yes."
Why do this?
It was because she knew that Fu Huaiyi's department would become the Cyber Ministry of National Defense, and that her family would soon have a computer.
If the table is placed in the middle of the room, the power strip must also be placed in the middle of the table.
But these days, not many families would decorate like this.
"It's convenient to put a desk lamp or something on the table," Lin Yuyao explained.
The worker looked up at the light and thought, "There's already a light on top, and I still need to put a table lamp below. How much electricity will that consume?"
Oh well, rich people don't care about electricity bills.
"Okay, I know what to do."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, you should."
Lin Yuyao followed the foreman, who then confirmed several locations with her that she was unsure about before.
I looked around inside and out, which took about an hour.
Ye Lian couldn't get a word in edgewise with Lin Dawei, but she thought her daughter was pretty awesome and knew a lot.
What she said left not only the renovation workers bewildered, but they were even more bewildered.
The difference is that after she explained, the construction workers understood, while they were completely bewildered.
Suddenly, I realized that they didn't really know Lin Yuyao.
on the way back.
"Yuyao, this renovation must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Lin Yuyao said, "The decorator was an employee that my uncle called over."
"Oh? Uncle Fu is in the renovation business?"
"No, he has many factories that need regular maintenance, and they are paid wages."
"Those recommended by acquaintances can get a cheaper price, but the materials aren't cheap either."
"It doesn't cost any money. Consider it a gift from my uncle. We don't need to spend any money."
Ye Lian looked surprised.
How much does the renovation cost? Is this even considered a gift of money?
Which family is so generous with their wedding gift money?
Wealthy families don't care about money when it comes to their children.
They were both feeling rather heavy-hearted, as they felt their daughter had really married above her station.
Upon returning home, she took out the five hundred yuan dowry she had prepared in advance, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
After a long while, Lin Dawei sighed and said, "How about we try to scrape together a thousand yuan for Yuyao's dowry?"
Ye Lian said, "Where are we going to get the money? Don't you know how much money we have? We just got our eldest son married over the New Year, which cost a lot of money. It would be good if we could come up with five hundred."
Yes, they would like to give the children more, but they simply don't have enough.
"Then five hundred it will be," Lin Dawei said.
"This is too little. Look how much others are giving."
"Then let's make it a thousand."
"Where are we going to get the money? Should I sell some of your property to raise it?"
Lin Dawei: "..."
"Five hundred is too little, but a thousand is not enough. No matter what I say, it's not right. What do you suggest?"
Ye Lian also fell silent.
"Sigh!" Lin Dawei sighed, "Five hundred it is. That's all we can do. What else can we do? If this were in our hometown, apart from the daughter of a contractor getting married, who could afford a dowry of five hundred? Even if they could, they might not be willing to part with it. It's not a small amount. As long as it's enough for our good intentions."
That makes sense. Every family's situation is different. The amount isn't important; what matters is how much they're willing to give.
……
The next day they went to take wedding photos, and Luo Feng, the mother-in-law, also came, bringing a set of jewelry.
"Is it all for me?"
"Yes, this jewelry goes well with this dress, put it on quickly."
He presented her with a complete set of jewelry as soon as she arrived, which made her feel flattered.
However, she didn't make a fuss and accepted it with great care.
The wedding photos were taken all day long, including several sets of indoor and outdoor photos.
A group of people surrounded her like a princess, making her feel like she was the center of attention, which boosted her confidence.
See? She deserves to be loved, and she can be the protagonist of her own life.
It was very late when they got back. Fu Huaiyi was distracted while driving, glancing at her every now and then.
Lin Yuyao, who was admiring the jewelry, felt the burning gaze.
"You want to see it too?"
cough cough...
She knew perfectly well that no one was looking at jewelry.
"It doesn't look good on your hand, put it on and let me see."
"Didn't you wear it the whole time when taking photos?"
"If you can't get enough, try again."
Lin Yuyao rolled her eyes at him. "Just drive your car."
Although there weren't many cars on the road at this time, it was still dangerous to be distracted.
"Yao Yao."
"Ok?"
Fu Huaiyi looked at her profile and said, "You look especially beautiful today."
Lin Yuyao asked with a smile, "You only look good today, didn't you look good before?"
"It looked good before, but it looks especially good today."
"What if you become ugly in the future?"
"So what if you become ugly? People are like flowers; they go through the stages of budding, blooming, withering, and falling to the ground. This is the law of nature. The life of a flower is short, while the life of a person is long. That's the difference."
