To cheer them up, I casually mentioned that I had bought a house.
I don't know if it was "Hei Pang Zi" who spread the news about my inability to conceive, but ever since then, no one has come to propose.
While I enjoyed the peace and quiet, My Mom was at home every day, venting her frustrations.
"What good are you? You can't get married, and you aren't excelling in your studies either."
"I’m telling you, you need to buy your brother a house; otherwise, how will he get a wife?"
This was the first time My Mom had made such a direct request.
Since she brought it up, how could I, as her daughter, let her down? I smiled at her.
"Who said I haven't bought a house?"
Seeing that I wasn't joking, My Mom looked both anxious and hopeful.
"You’re not lying to me, are you?"
I quickly pulled out my phone and showed her pictures of the house.
"200 square meters, Riverside View Apartment. Just tell me if you like it."
As soon as my brother heard about the house, he wheeled himself over and joined My Mom in staring at the photos.
His voice trembled as he asked, "You’re not just using pictures from the internet to fool us, are you?"
How could I be that kind of person?
Then, I pulled out a photo of the property deed.
My brother compared it with online guides and carefully checked it before confirming that the deed was real.
"Son, you finally have a house!"
The two of them embraced each other excitedly.
"Wait a minute."
My brother suddenly shouted, "My name isn't on the property deed."
At his reminder, my mom finally reacted. Upon realizing that the house belonged to me, she immediately grabbed a broom and pointed it at me. "You actually bought a house for yourself? What about your brother?"
"Quick, change it back," she demanded.
I replied calmly, "This house is for the family. If my brother's leg gets better, I'll give it to him."
"And if it doesn't, I'll live with you all. It will be more convenient for you to buy medicine and groceries."
Seeing my serious expression, my mom put down the broom, seemingly lost in thought. My brother, however, was much simpler; as soon as he heard that the house would be his if he got better, he broke into a wide grin, as if he could stand up at any moment.
"Su Qing, you're not joking, right? As long as my brother can stand up, you'll give him the house?" My mom stared at me seriously, like a lion eyeing its prey.
"Yes, that's what I said."
My brother proudly raised his phone. "I recorded it! If you go back on your word, I'll take you to court."
That kid has some brains; he actually thought to record it. After everything was clarified, my mom pushed my brother into the room.
About twenty minutes later, she called my name. I turned around in surprise to find my brother standing up.
"Mom, when did his leg get better?"
They seemed quite pleased with my reaction, looking as if they had everything under control.
"You'll be fine after a month at university."
"I was planning to tell you later, but I didn't expect you to be so perceptive and buy the house early."
Does this mean he thinks his recovery is some kind of charity towards me?
I forced a smile and replied, "It's what I should do."
My mom happily pulled out 200 yuan and handed it to me.
"Buying a house is tough, but this home will always be open for you."
In her eyes, my efforts were worth only 200 yuan.
I really wanted to throw the money back at her and walk away, but reason told me it wasn't the right time.
"Okay, thank you, Mom."
My younger brother was already impatient, excitedly grabbing my hand.
"Sis, stop wasting time with Mom. Let's go transfer the house!"
"This... might not be possible right now."
The expressions on their faces immediately fell.
"You’re not having second thoughts, are you?"
My brother's hand was already restless, as if ready to take action at any moment.
