Chapter 156
“Hello everyone!” David greeted them all but was ignored.
Only then did David realize that something was wrong.
Cousin Judy’s eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
Uncle Alex also seemed rather angry where he sat.
“In-laws, this is my nephew, my third brother’s son! He’s currently studying university in River City,” Diana
introduced David to the others.
After being introduced, David followed his aunt Diana to the kitchen to prepare food. The atmosphere in
the living room was too solemn and he did not want to stay there.
However, Aunt Diana chased him out since his Aunt Lisa was in the kitchen and his help was not
needed.
Without another choice, David sat in the living room and pretended to be preoccupied with what was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshowing on the television.
He had originally planned to come clean with his aunt Diana about his current financial situation and
persuade them to move to River City with him. However, there were too many people here for him to say
anything, so he would have to wait for the next opportunity to tell her.
At this moment, Judy’s future father-in-law started talking.
“So, what do you think about our suggestion?”
“I don’t agree!” Alex replied angrily.
“Then what do you want? Don’t tell me you want my son to come and live in a house as run-down as
this! How many years have you lived here, huh? There isn’t even a good school nearby, where will their
children study? How do you plan to solve the issue of education? I would have broken them up if not for
how deeply in love they were!”
“Mom! What are you saying?” Jude shouted.
“Shush, Jude. Don’t tell me you actually plan to stay here your whole life? You’re our only son, there’s no
way I would allow you to live with them!” Jude’s mother insisted.
Jude did not say anything more.
He did not want to live in this place forever either.
Extremely infuriated, Alex wanted to refute but could not say anything.
Their family conditions were indeed worse than Jude’s.
It was indeed too much to ask for Jude to marry and stay with them, but Judy was his only daughter and
h e did not want her to move out.
He wanted to be able to play with his grandchildren after he retired.
If his daughter married out, then he and his wife would end up alone and pitiful after they retired.
Just then, Diana walked out and said, “Actually, we’ve already decided to buy a house. We’ve been
looking at some options lately, so you don’t need to worry about their child’s education.”
“Buy a house? You think I don’t know about your financial situation? Both you and your husband are just
ordinary laborers! There’s no way you can buy a house! Do you know how expensive houses are these
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdays? Even second-handed houses are expensive, and there’s no way my son’s living in a second-
handed
house after marriage!”
Diana remained quiet.
They were indeed planning to buy a second-handed house in a school area, a rather old one at that.
They just could not afford a new house.
Judy started sobbing quietly
Her parents wanted her boyfriend Jude to move in after they got married, while her boyfriend’s parents
strongly disagreed. Most importantly, her family conditions were not as nice as her boyfriend’s, and she
too wanted to give her child a good educational environment.
The only thing stopping her from agreeing with her boyfriend’s parents was that she felt bad for her own
mom and dad.
However, since she was already pregnant now, they had to move the wedding forward. They could not
afford to drag the issue of where to stay on any longer. All Jude could do was pat her shoulder silently
next to her. He did not have a win-win solution either.
