Along the way, Zheng Juan kept singing praises of certain big restaurants in Hu City. Qiao Mei had heard of those places before. These few would become very famous five-star hotels in the coming decades, often charging tens of thousands of dollars for the rooms and meals.

“Fourth Aunt-in-law, let’s just find a random restaurant nearby,” Gao Lin said.

“That won’t do! Only a big restaurant is worthy of your status as an overseas returnee! It’s so rare for you to come back! We must eat something nice! The taste of Hu City!” Zheng Juan yelled loudly.

The people passing by all turned around to look at them. The smug expression on Zheng Juan’s face became even more obvious. Qiao Mei and Gao Lin frowned slightly with displeasure. When Qiao Mei found out that the big restaurant they were headed to was located more than 10 kilometers away, her expression darkened even more.

These people wanted to make them travel so far just to get a free meal. There were not as many taxis in the country as there were overseas, so it would take a long time to flag one down. Even if they could find a taxi to send them there, they might not be lucky enough to find one to bring them back. If they took the bus, they would need to change buses along the way! It was too much effort for a meal.

Qiao Mei and Gao Lin had just arrived in Hu City and were still unfamiliar with the place. They did not know anyone and did not have a house or car locally. At first, Qiao Mei found that to be a little troublesome, but it turned out to be a good thing instead. At least these people would not look at them with covetous eyes!

“Is that restaurant over there where Lao Bian used to sell buns!” Gao Lin asked as he pointed at a small restaurant in the alley.

“Yes, it’s still the same restaurant. It’s now run by Lao Bian’s children. Lao Bian is too old to make buns nowadays,” Gao Hai said.

“Let’s go there then. 1 want to have a taste of what I used to eat.” After saying that, Gao Lin took big strides to the restaurant with Qiao Mei following closely behind.

Gao Hai was about to take two steps forward when Zheng Juan grabbed him and whispered, “Don’t just think about eating! Don’t forget to ask them how they are doing now! ”

“l know! I’ll ask! Stop rushing me!” Gao Hai said.

“If you know, then you should have asked just now!” Zheng Juan said angrily.

There were not many people in the restaurant at this time of the day and it was easy to find a table for the few of them. Gao Lin ordered soup dumplings for everyone, as well as soy milk, tofu pudding and some other items.

While they were waiting for the dishes to be served, Zheng Juan gave Gao Hai a kick. Gao Hai looked at Gao Lin and asked, “Xiao Lin, why are you back this time?”

“l just want to come back and take a look at the old house. I want to buy it,” Gao Lin said honestly.

Zheng Juan’s eyes lit up. If Gao Lin had the money to buy the old house, it meant that the Gao family was not in dire straits! It looked like Gao Lin was still very rich!

Gao Le suddenly stood up and roared, “This old house is our house! What right do you have to buy it!’

“By right, it belongs to our family. There was an agreement back then that if we come back, everyone will return us all our assets. We’re all people who keep our promises, so you can’t be so unreasonable,” Qiao Mei said as she looked at Gao Hai.

This was what Gao Lin had told Qiao Mei when they were in the capital. Back then, Gao Lin’s parents asked everyone from the Gao family to leave with them. However, some of the Gao family’s relatives did not want to leave their hometown, so they stayed back in the end.

Gao Lin’s parents agreed to let these relatives manage their assets. If they did not return to the country, the assets would belong to these relatives. However, if they did, then the relatives must return all their assets to them.

“What agreement! Don’t try to scare me! I’ve lived here since 1 was young and I’ve never met anyone else! This old house is our house! How can you say whatever you want! Are your words equivalent to an imperial edict?” Gao Le said.

Zheng Juan did not know about all these things from the past, so she also said unhappily, “You can’t just spout such irresponsible words. Why does the house need to change ownership the moment you’re back?”

Gao Lin looked at Gao Hai and said, “They might not know what happened back then, but Fourth Uncle should know, right?”

In fact, the Gao family’s old house was originally handed over to the Gao family’s second son. He did not know why it was the fourth son living here now. It seemed that many things had happened after they left back then.

“Back then… there was indeed such an agreement,” Gao Hai said..
