Learning to play games, a 40-year-old woman achieves a remarkable turnaround.

Chapter 189 Such a good thing could happen

Yuan Bao paused for a moment before continuing about the house: "Early this morning, Boss Chen from Beijing came over and arranged a small courtyard house for our family on Wenti Road."

I went to check it out, and the yard was absolutely fantastic!

As he spoke, Yuan Bao pulled a key out of his pocket as if by magic, waved it in front of his family, and excitedly shouted, "Ta-da! Look, this is the key to the courtyard! We can pick an auspicious day and move in!"

After saying that, Yuan Bao's eyes sparkled as she looked at her parents expectantly and asked, "How about we go over and take a look now? We can get familiar with the new house as soon as possible and figure out how to decorate it."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Yuan's smile froze instantly, his eyes filled with disbelief, his mouth slightly open, unable to utter a word for a long time.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Daughter... what did you just say? Boss Chen gave us a courtyard house? On Wenti Road?"

He looked as if he was confirming that he hadn't misheard.

Yuan's mother stood up abruptly from the sofa, covering her mouth with both hands, her eyes wide open, her gaze fixed on the keys in Yuan Bao's hand: "This... this is too sudden, what have we done to deserve such a good thing?" She murmured to herself, her voice full of surprise and trepidation.

The eldest brother, Baoguo, jumped up from his chair and rushed to Yuan Bao's side. He snatched the keys from her hand, examined them carefully, and kept exclaiming, "My goodness, sister, you're amazing! Wenti Road is a prime location in our county! Now we can live in a big courtyard too!"

As he spoke, he paced back and forth in the living room excitedly, his face practically radiating excitement.

Mr. Yuan steadied himself, sat up straight, and his expression became serious: "Daughter, one cannot accept a gift without merit. Why did Boss Chen suddenly send us such a large gift? Is there something going on here?"

He frowned, a vague unease creeping into his heart, fearing that his daughter, out of ignorance, might have unwittingly accepted something she shouldn't have.

Yuan Bao quickly waved his hand and explained with a smile, "Dad, don't worry."

I've collaborated with Mr. Chen and his team on several projects, and I previously provided them with some very valuable prescriptions, for which they've always wanted to express their gratitude.

This courtyard was a small token of their appreciation, and I've also helped them a lot, so it's not something I accepted for nothing.

Only then did Yuan's mother feel a little relieved, and a smile returned to her face: "So that's how it is. I knew our daughter wouldn't take advantage of others. Well then, we'd better take a good look at this yard."

The eldest brother, Baoguo, couldn't contain himself any longer. He grabbed Yuan Bao's arm and shook it vigorously: "Come on, come on, little sister, stop dawdling and take us to see our new home. I can't wait to see what our future home will be like!"

The eldest brother, Baoguo, muttered to himself, "A small courtyard house is indeed a rare find in our county. It's enough to make Mom and Dad so happy."

But if my parents ever find out that my younger sister owns ten courtyard houses in Beijing, they'll probably be shocked, and might even faint.

My sister's skills are truly remarkable; she's kept them hidden for a long time. I wonder how many more surprises she has in store.

Urged on by his elder brother Baoguo, Yuan Bao's family happily headed towards the small courtyard on Wenti Road.

Upon arriving at the courtyard gate, Yuan Bao took out his key and opened the gate. The moment the family stepped into the yard, they were all captivated by the scene before them.

Aunt Yuan walked straight to the osmanthus tree in the corner of the yard, gently stroked its lush branches and leaves, her eyes glistening with tears, and said with emotion, "This osmanthus tree is so wonderful. When it blooms, the whole yard will be filled with fragrance. How pleasant it would be for our family to sit under the tree and enjoy the cool shade."

The eldest brother, Baoguo, ran around the yard like a playful puppy, excitedly shouting, "Mom and Dad, sister, this yard is really nice! We can invite our classmates over to play on weekends!"

Mr. Yuan paced back and forth in the yard, carefully examining every corner and nodding from time to time.

As he walked into the living room, he stroked the wall and said earnestly, "This house looks sturdy. We'll feel at ease living here as a family."

Looking at his family, Yuan Bao felt a surge of happiness.

She held Yuan's mother's hand and said with a smile, "Mom, in the future we can plant some flowers in the yard and raise a few chickens, and turn this place into our dream home."

Aunt Yuan smiled and nodded, then said with some worry, "Such a nice yard, you must take good care of it in the future, so as not to let down the people's good intentions."

Mr. Yuan walked to the window, looked at the courtyard outside, and said, "Yes, this is a good place. From now on, our family should be more united and make our lives prosperous."

At this moment, the eldest brother, Baoguo, ran over and put his arm around Yuan Bao's shoulder: "Little sister, thanks to you, we have such a good family. If you ever need anything in the future, I'll be the first to rush to your aid!"

Yuan Bao looked at his parents with gentle eyes, the kind faces of his maternal grandparents appearing in his mind, and earnestly suggested, "After we move here, the yard will be spacious and there will be more rooms."

Why don't we bring Grandpa and Grandma to live with us? There are two bedrooms on the first floor, both suites, with a comfortable environment, especially suitable for the elderly. Mom and Dad, you and Grandpa and Grandma can live on the first floor, which is convenient for you to come and go.

My older brother and I live on the second floor. What do you think of this arrangement?

Yuan's mother nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she replied softly, "From our family's perspective, it's definitely no problem for us to take them in to live here."

However, since it involves your uncle and aunt, you still need to discuss it with them properly.

Your uncle's house is indeed small and a bit cramped, but they probably won't object to your grandparents coming over to enjoy their retirement.

Mr. Yuan, being a cheerful person, agreed without hesitation: "That's right! Bringing the two elders over to live here will make everyone more comfortable."

It's so nice to have the whole family together, all together. Besides, it will allow your grandparents to enjoy their later years and the joys of family life.

Seeing the family's joyful expressions, Yuan Bao felt the time was right and took the opportunity to express his long-held plan: "Mom and Dad, I've been thinking that in the future, our whole family, including my uncles, aunts, and great-aunts, should all go to Beijing to develop our careers. Maybe we'll have a better future there. There are many opportunities in Beijing, and we'll definitely have more room for development if we go there."

Then, Yuan Bao added, "I gave my younger cousins ​​that 'miracle potion' to open their minds. You can tell how effective it is just by looking at my older brother. They've definitely made great progress in their studies and will surely become top students in the future. Studying in Beijing will be no problem for them."

While the topic was still in full swing, Yuan Bao took the opportunity of Chen Da Lao's visit to tell his parents, "Mom and Dad, Chen Da Lao came over today, and I mentioned to him that we plan to build a house on the land we bought together before."

Boss Chen also mentioned that the area would most likely be demolished in the future.

This is no small matter; it directly affects the vital interests of our entire family.

We need to find some time quickly to gather our uncles, aunts, and other relatives together and have a good discussion about whether or not we should start building the house.

If we build it, how should we plan it? If we don't build it, how should we deal with the demolition?

This is quite important; we need to come up with a solution as soon as possible.
