Chapter 168 twists and turns
Liang Teng has always been a "super gossip" guy.
He also listened with great interest to the "Master of Wood Carving" who had struggled for a lifetime of "begging for a child without success".
Liang Teng also lacks the empathy for this stubborn man.This kind of "small supporting role", in a TV series, is a character who won't survive one episode.
Liang Teng asked with great interest: "He gave birth to a daughter when he was almost 60 years old. Then the little wife he married took away all the family property and flew away. He wasted the few years in between? Don't you want to fight for children? "
"How could he give up? That was his lifelong obsession." Wu Xia didn't like to gossip about other people's family, but when Liang Teng asked, she just told him.
After listening to Wu Xia's introduction along the way, Liang Teng realized that his understanding of "superior men" had been refreshed by that man named "Wu Chengdi".
After Wu Chengdi gave birth to a daughter for him, he considered that he was nearly 60. If his wife gave birth to 8 "golden flowers" in a row like the divorced wife, he would get older and older in the future. As she grows older, the hope of having a son becomes increasingly slim.
So the old guy started to make two-handed preparations.
While continuing to work hard with his little wife, he also made a "Xiaomi" outside.
Since Wu Chengdi divorced his eldest wife, the buildings he bought and built in his early years, as well as the shops he bought in installments when he was dealing in high-end furniture, have all been sold.
Afterwards, Wu Chengdi began to specialize in the production of woodcarving crafts, and gained some fame in the industry.
I also specially found a secretary to "take orders" for him in normal times.In his free time, he "developed" him into "Xiao Mi".
In this way, Wu Chengdi started the great cause of "making men" at the same time.
As a result, the little wife also ran away with the money.The female secretary officially moved into Wu Chengdi's new home and started a "cohabitation" life, but she still only gave birth to a daughter for him.
Those with status and those without status collected a total of 10 golden flowers.
Big and small wives can't give birth to boys, Wu Chengdi was able to put the blame on the woman before.
But his female secretary also divorced before she lived with him.A widowed mother with a 10-year-old boy.
Since female secretaries have been able to give birth to boys before, this is irrefutable proof that it is not impossible for them to give birth to boys with "hands", and it is your own fault, Wu Chengdi.
Wu Chengdi felt that he was a bit "poor as a donkey", and began to focus on training the boy born to the female secretary and her ex-husband.
He was almost raised as his own son.
The two biological daughters beside him have never seen Wu Chengdi treat them so well.
The female secretary was impressed by Wu Chengdi's "sincerity", and didn't think he was too old, so she took her son and married him.
In the female secretary's hometown, there are two younger brothers and one younger sister.Both parents are farmers.Originally, the family heard that their daughter was going to marry an old man in his 50s and almost 60 years old, and they all strongly opposed it.
Even if the female secretary is "restraining", but someone from her natal family can help take care of the children. The female secretary is only 33 years old and she is not ugly. Even if she can't find a good man to marry, she won't marry a fast A 60-year-old "bad old man".Let uninformed outsiders hear about it, and think that the natal family is greedy for the old man's money and wants to "sell their daughter".
But Wu Chengdi is very good at life.Not only do they often send money and gifts to the female secretary's natal family in normal times.
That year coincided with a catastrophe for the female secretary's family.The eldest of the two younger brothers of the female secretary is terminally ill.Without saying a word, Wu Cheng immediately sent money to the other party for medical treatment.
The amount of money spent, in the words of the female secretary, was so much that she "didn't dare to accept it".
In the end, the "big brother" of the female secretary passed away after the treatment failed, but the female secretary's family members were very fond of "Wu Chengdi" and no longer prevented the eldest daughter from marrying him (actually, it couldn't be prevented).
After Wu Cheng's third marriage, all 10 golden flowers have been collected, and it seems that it has become difficult to have children.
Before, it was difficult to conceive a man, but now it is difficult for a wife to conceive.
In a blink of an eye, it has been more than 10 or almost 20 years since his third marriage, and there is no movement in the female secretary's stomach.
In the midst of depression, Wu Chengdi began to pamper and spoil the female secretary's "oil bottle" son in every possible way.From a psychological point of view, it is a phenomenon of "empathy".
The son's real name is "Lv Jin".Because he joined Wu Chengdi's family, the female secretary also went to the household registration department to change his name to "Wu Jin".
After Wu Jin grew up, he and his stepfather Wu Chengdi hit it off very well, and seemed to have many common topics and hobbies.
Or, because his stepfather's family obeyed all kinds of demands from him since he was a child, Wu Jin's personality is extremely vain and extravagant, and he likes to pick up girls.
His parents were almost worried about his marriage.
In fact, Wu Jin is not unfeminine, on the contrary, he spends too much time.His temperament is unstable, and he changes his girlfriend almost every six months or so.
Wu Jin was born short, but he was self-reliant and handsome. The girlfriends he fell in love with were playful and handsome, and they also thought he was handsome.So it was easy to get together, and soon went to Wu Jin's house to live together.
As a result, the belly of his ex-girlfriend was enlarged by him, and Wu Jin and Wu Cheng, the second "old and young scumbags", were still discussing in private: should we marry this woman?
The result of the discussion turned out to be inclined not to marry.
That woman really looks a bit "horrible".At the beginning, Wu Jin was also greedy for the other party's good temper, and was obedient to him.The family background is also good. In order to please Wu Jin, he often gives him money and gifts.Wu Jin enjoyed this kind of treatment more, so he "dated" with her.
"Dating" belongs to "dating". If you really want to get married and live a life, there are suddenly more things to consider.
For example, Wu Chengdi opened up with his adopted son and said: I really married such a daughter-in-law, and I will eat at the same table with a daughter-in-law who looks "horrible" in the future. Looking at her face, can I eat well?If Wu Chengdi had two more sons, and he was desperate not to live under the same roof with his son and daughter-in-law in the future.But he only had the son "Wu Jin"!How could he be so hasty about his son's marriage? !
On the one hand, Wu Jin is more convinced of his adoptive father, but on the other hand, he is also a little tired of his ex-girlfriend.So I kept dragging my girlfriend back and refused to respond positively to her request for marriage.
The woman was not stupid, she was just "confused" by his appearance.
Jiu Zhi saw that he had no intention of marrying her, no intention of stepping into the marriage hall, so he simply had an abortion and left resolutely.
Not long after, Wu Jin found another live-in girlfriend.
This girlfriend has a relatively fat body and good looks, which can be regarded as the type that Wu Chengdi is very satisfied with.
After the woman lived together for a period of time, she soon became pregnant again for Wu Jin.This time, the "wonderful father and son" continued to discuss in private. As a result, both father and son believed that this woman could marry.
Afterwards, the girlfriend was able to raise her baby at Wu's house with peace of mind.
During the routine check-up, it was accidentally discovered that it was an "ectopic pregnancy".
I can't have a fetus that is only a few months old.
scraped off.
While buying various nutritional supplements for recuperation, Wu Jin "discussed" with his adoptive father how to deal with this girlfriend?
After repeated discussions, the result was still unacceptable.
This woman is actually "ectopic pregnancy"!According to the experience and insight of Wu Chengdi and his son: Generally, only after repeated abortions are the cases of "ectopic pregnancy" likely to occur.
That woman really didn't know how many men she had followed before!Otherwise, she is only in her early 20s, how could she be so prone to ectopic pregnancy at such a young age?
In short, based on the understanding of the woman's usual behavior, she also belongs to the type that is frivolous and easy to be hooked up.
Like this kind of woman, it is as high as 80.00% possible because she is too promiscuous.become this physique.
The two father and son's discussions had results, and they were quickly put into action, and they no longer mentioned the matter of marriage.
After the woman regained her health, she gradually noticed that Wu Chengdi and his son's attitude towards her had changed.She simply left on her own initiative.
It is said that within three months, someone saw her having another "handsome" boyfriend.
In less than three months, Wu Jin made another girlfriend.It is said that this time they only knew each other for about two months, and the other party became pregnant, setting the fastest speed in history.
But then did not enter the marriage hall with this new girlfriend.
It turns out that the child conceived by the woman is not Wu Jin's "seed".According to the standards and requirements of Wu's father and son, such women and children are of course not worthy of entering the "Wu's" gate.
After repeated tossing like this, Wu Jin became an "older youth".
Marriage, a major event in life, has never been settled.
Not to mention being anxious as a father, he is anxious to hug his grandson.Then Wu Jin's biological mother was even more anxious.
She was worried that a person like her son with such an inconspicuous personality, incompetent but lavish, would not even be able to afford the money for a marriage without his adoptive father as a big backer.
And Wu Chengdi was getting old day by day, his body was getting worse day by day, and he was weak and sick—proving that the female secretary's worries were not unreasonable.
The mother is anxious.Ask people around to help find a blind date for his son.
For example, because Wu Xia once commissioned "Wu Chengdi" to make a sofa, he had several encounters with Chengdi's female secretary.The female secretary actually had a shy face, and once asked Wu Xia to be a matchmaker to introduce someone to Wu Jin.
Wu Xia has never been the type to pay attention to such things.She doesn't care about even the marriage of her very close "best friend", but asks.What's more, it's a low-level "playboy" like the Wu family who has no relatives and no reason.She doesn't even look straight in the face.
But because of the above reasons, Wu Xia has a relatively comprehensive understanding of the details of Wu Chengdi's family.
Chatting along the way, I feel that time flies faster.
The car drove into an older urban area.
For the first-timers who have admired the name of "Open City" for a long time, they must be very surprised that there are still such old dilapidated houses and streets here.
But Wu Xia visited this first-tier city a lot.She has long been used to it.
No matter how developed a metropolis is, it is inevitable that such old areas will exist.
The so-called "city and village" refers to this kind of place.
When Yan Qianyu saw this kind of old urban area, she couldn't help being a little surprised: "Oh my God. Is there such a dilapidated shanty town in the 'Open City'? I guess the relevant departments will definitely not be able to bear it, and sooner or later they will have to requisition the land. , Carry out large-scale renovation of the old city. Wait until the day it is expropriated, and you will be able to get huge compensation."
"The compensation for demolition and relocation may not be as valuable as the three-story small building Wu Chengdi is building now." Wu Xia analyzed objectively: "His house is a new house that has been built for less than ten years. .If it is really expropriated, the lost money is not enough to buy back the original square footage. Moreover, his house has been lived in and is not vacant. Living is a 'just need'. It is not a surplus property that can be used for investment."
Liang Teng is quite familiar with the compensation standards for demolition and relocation in this era.
The compensation for future generations is humble enough, and the compensation money is at best reverted back to the original price.But in this era, it is often the same area that is demolished, and you will be compensated for the same area at a designated resettlement site (not too far from the old site).
Those "relocation houses" are still single villas.Compensation will give you the same area without additional charges.If the area is exceeded, you will need to pay for the excess.
Wu Xia arbitrarily believes that it is not cost-effective to renovate an old city when demolishing a new house, and that is too subjective.
According to Yan Qianyu's instructions, the car turned around several old streets.
Wu Xia pointed to a house in the shape of a small villa with a fairly new exterior wall, and told everyone: "Here we are. That small white western-style building is Wu Chengdi's house."
The bungalows are not directly facing the street.
Liang Teng looked at the small villa from the side, and felt that the area was not too narrow.
But since Wu Xia can accurately say that the land of this new residence that Wu Chengdi bought is only 60 square meters, it is only 60 square meters.
Her memory is not too bad, even this is wrong.
Liang Teng took a few more serious glances before discovering the mystery of this house.
Generally, buildings built in the style of "villa" have at most a little area protruding from the "balcony" in the middle, which makes the shape of the building more layered.
But the owner of the building in front of him probably thought the land was too small, so he took advantage of the "four-sided light" of the land, and when it was built above the second floor, all sides were raised by 1.3 meters.
In this way, the floor above the second floor has an area of up to 41 square meters.Combined with the 60-square-meter area, after the second floor, the area of each floor can break through 100 square meters.
With this method of increasing the area, the total area of the three-story building reached 260 square meters, instead of the 180 square meters previously calculated by Wu Xia.
The construction of such a small western-style building, to be honest, is like a "pigeon coop" in the eyes of the rich.But it has emptied all the savings of "Wu Chengdi".
The main reason is that the price of the land is too expensive.
The land for this house was purchased only a few years ago.At that time, the land price had reached more than 4 per square meter.Because it was so expensive, after much deliberation, Wu Chengdi could only buy 60 square meters of land (the area on the land certificate).
Don't look at the 60 square meters, which is quite narrow, you have to pay 240 million.
Then, it cost 60 yuan in total to build the three-story building plus the cost of decoration (mainly because the decoration is expensive. The main body of the three-story building with an area of about 260 square meters is far less than the decoration cost).
"Wu Chengdi" is very popular in the industry, but he is only a craftsman after all.The main source of income is to help people make furniture.
But the competition for this kind of work is quite fierce. How many sets of furniture can you make in a year?
Even if the cost of each set of furniture is tens of thousands.But with so few businesses a year, the annual income is only a few hundred thousand.
The expenses of Wu Chengdi's family are also quite large.After one year, if you can save about 20, it will be considered as the top.
300 million to complete such a small bungalow, his family has to save for 15 years.It's really not easy.
Wu Chengdi and his adopted son Wu Jin are used to being extravagant, and it is mainly due to the "female secretary" that they can save the money to buy land and build a house.
Yan Qianyu skillfully parked the "Highlander" in front of Wu Chengdi's house.
All three people got out of the car.
Wu Xia saw that there was an electric bell installed in the small building, so she reached out to press the bell.
Not long after, the imitation copper door of the small bungalow opened.
A thin figure appeared in front of everyone.
It was a little girl with withered and yellow hair but full of aura in her eyebrows and eyes.About 15 years old.
Wu Xia also recognized her, knowing that she was the daughter of Wu Chengdi and his second wife, and her name was "Wu Xiaolan".
Wu Xia greeted the other party, and then said straight to the point: "Xiaolan, I'm here to ask your father to carve wood carvings. There are quite a lot of things to do this time. I guess I have to pick your father to stay there for a month. Left and right, finish the wood carvings that need to be made before sending him back."
The little girl Wu Xiaolan also greeted the guests.
Her tone and expression seemed quite uncomfortable.It should be that he is not used to this kind of entertainment.
After saying hello, she reported a piece of sad news in a calm tone: her father, Wu Chengdi, fainted suddenly while drinking a few days ago.He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and when the MRI of the brain was taken, it was found that a blood vessel in the brain burst, causing cerebral hemorrhage, and he is still unconscious.
The tone was very flat, not like saying that something happened to his father.
Liang Teng was in the car just now, listening to Wu Xia tell the story of the Wu family all the way.
Seeing Wu Xiaolan treat her old father who suddenly fell ill so indifferently now, Liang Teng immediately thought: Could she be a daughter who "has a lot of resentment" towards her father?
How could Wu Xia have the heart to pay attention to the Wu family's "family's shortcomings"?
She directly ignored the indifference of the little girl's expression, and only thought in her mind: It's a long journey.It was not easy to get a batch of top-quality wood. With Wu Chengdi's wood carving skills, he happened to be the right carpenter.Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, Wu Chengdi actually had a "cerebral hemorrhage" at this time, it is probably dead.
Even if Wu Chengdi can recover his life from the "Gate of Hell" this time, his brain has been subjected to such severe creation, and he is not suitable for carpentry work.
What's more, in the premonition, the possibility of Wu Chengdi being able to "escape the catastrophe" is very small.
Wu Xia knows a lot of people, and she has also seen a few cases among friends and relatives.
"Gastric vascular bleeding" is the most common.
Secondly, it is "cerebral hemorrhage".
Anyway, she has never seen any cases of massive bleeding caused by burst blood vessels that could be rescued.
Liang Teng wondered what Wu Xia was thinking?If he knew that she was reviewing some hopeless cases of "exploding blood vessels", he could also add the single typical example of "Yongbin's son-in-law".
Yongbin's son-in-law burst two blood vessels in his stomach, and he is still in the "Intensive Care Unit" of the hospital, unconscious.
But Liang Teng knew that Yongbin's son-in-law would die if he lasted for half a month at most.The medical expenses he paid in advance to the other party can only roughly last until then.
In short, Wu Xia and Liang Teng have never seen a critical case of blood vessel burst and massive hemorrhage that could be rescued.
Perhaps, the world is so big that it is not impossible to find a successful case.But Wu Xia and Liang Teng had never met.Just pretend that possibility doesn't exist.
After waiting for a while, Wu Xiaolan saw that Wu Xia hadn't recovered from her regret for a long time.She didn't know what to say anymore.
We had to welcome all three guests into the house first.
In such an extraordinary period, Wu Chengdi's female secretary (who has become a "little three" and is now his third wife) and her son Wu Jin, of course, ran to the hospital.
not at home.
Liang Teng entered the room and saw that the first floor was basically "empty": except for a large living room, the rest was the stairs...
The toilet is placed under the stairs, making full and reasonable use of the space.
In addition, there is a kitchen on the ground floor.
In this way, the area on the first floor is basically used up.
But then again, the area of several tens of square meters is simply not comparable to Liang Teng's slightly larger room in his new residence in the "Wang Wang Mansion".
For example, the room that Liang Teng is using as a "warehouse" now has an area of 65 square meters.
The area of the three-story building is really not that big.It's not as good as a room in Liang Teng's house.
Although the living area is small, Wu Chengdi did not hesitate to "spend a lot of money" to decorate the interior of the small third floor to be extremely luxurious and upscale.
Wu Xia felt that this was completely unnecessary.
She has always been used to living in big houses, and she appreciates the spacious floor plan most.It would be better to have a separate suite than to divide it into three floors like the current one, asking for a high-altitude space.
In her opinion, isn't there always a small duplex of the "apartment" type for sale in a large real estate?
That kind of small duplex has an area of only about 45 square meters.But because it is on the top floor and has a height of more than 5 meters, it can be transformed into a "small duplex" structure with upper and lower floors.
If two floors are added together, the nominal area will be 90 square meters.But such a 90-square-meter house does not have a 70-square-meter suite, which is spacious and comfortable.
Not to mention anything else, building a staircase for going up and down takes up a lot of space.
In short, all kinds of restrictions make the sales of "small duplexes" often not ideal.
In Wu Xia's eyes, Wu Chengdi's small foreign-style building feels similar to a "small duplex apartment" developed by a real estate development.
Live, of course it is enough.
But this kind of house seems cramped everywhere.Living uncomfortable.
Even if the decoration is meticulous and beautiful, it is difficult to catch Wu Xia's eyes (of course, when Miss Wu was in the imperial capital, she was used to living in her father's manor, of course her vision became higher unconsciously).
Liang Teng did not have such high requirements and standards as Wu Xia's.
He thinks this small mansion is pretty good.
The second and third floors, I didn't have a chance to go up and have a look. Liang Teng can imagine that the whole house is decorated with high-grade decoration just from the decoration standard of the first floor in front of him.
