Chapter 869: Chapter 853 Another Tang Garden Chapter 869: Chapter 853 Another Tang Garden “Chengcheng, do you like the Wu Family’s house?”
Ren Li asked Tang Xincheng.
Tang Xincheng honestly shook his head, “Mom, I don’t know what the Wu Family’s house looks like.” When he had entered, he had been stuffed into a suitcase, and when he came out, he was carried out by others.
So, as to what the Wu Family’s house actually looked like, where it was, or what kind of architecture it had, he had no idea at all.
“That house dates back to the Dynasty Ming and Qing,” Ren Li said as she patted her son’s head, “It only later fell into the hands of the Wu Family.
It’s just like our Tang Garden now; they also contain elements of history.
If these places weren’t inhabited and didn’t belong to private property, they would have probably become historical relics.”
“The Wu Family has always prided themselves on being a scholarly family with a good reputation, and the biggest reason for that is that house.
You’ve always liked Tang Garden, haven’t you?
But after all, it’s not yours.
Mom will give you another Tang Garden.
Although your dad builds houses and will not lack one for you, living in that kind of old house has its benefits; it’s warm in winter and cool in summer, not something ordinary places can offer.”
The place where the Wu Family lived was somewhere she had resided for ten years.
Only those who lived there could know the advantages; not to mention it was warm in winter and cool in summer, but it was also spacious and had one of Beijing’s rare geothermal resources – a hot spring, used all year round.

Consequently, the Wu Family cared a great deal about their house; it could be said to be the foundation of the Wu Family.
Therefore, she wanted to exchange the Wu Family’s house for their own freedom and the Wu Family’s face.
The Wu Family would have to agree, whether they wanted to or not.
Tang Xincheng’s eyes lit up, “Is it really like Tang Garden?”
“Yes, very much,” Ren Li said with a genuine smile, looking relaxed.
“It’s just a little smaller than your sister’s Tang Garden, but it’s exquisite, and it also has a hot spring.
Only if you’re not afraid of having been shortchanged before.”
“Not afraid, not afraid at all,” Tang Xincheng hurriedly grabbed Ren Li’s hand, “Mom, I’m not afraid.” Where one falls, there one must rise, and having been fooled once, he wouldn’t be tricked a second time.
If he were to fall a second time in the same place, he might as well finish himself off.
Ren Li knew her son would like it, possibly because Tang Xincheng grew up in Li Tang Village.
Without mentioning anything else, that place was vast and sparsely populated.
Just their family’s courtyard alone was very large.
For Tang Xincheng to live in today’s tall buildings, cramped into just a few square meters, was not to his taste; he utterly disliked it.
That’s why he enjoyed living in Tang Garden so much.
But he was inevitably going to grow up, and when he did, he would need his own place, his own territory.
In Beijing, where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, places like Tang Garden are practically extinct.
Even if they did exist, it’s unlikely anyone would sell them, especially since many are state-owned and not for sale to the public.
So, she really was ruthless, directly targeting the lair of the Wu Family; not doing so would be letting herself down.
Hence, she absolutely had to take down that nest, and the house had to be hers no matter what.
“When the paperwork comes through, Mom will take you to see it.”
Seeing her son so happy, Ren Li felt that the Wu Family had indeed done some good deeds.
At the very least, the house they had preserved could make her Chengcheng happy.
“Okay,” Tang Xincheng happily agreed, feeling a little impatient to wait, and wondering if he could go see it now.
But then he thought that the place, after all, still bore the Wu’s name, so even if he went, he couldn’t possibly enter.
Even if he did enter, he would still just be entering someone else’s home.
Why would he live in someone else’s home?
He wanted to live in his own home.
Sister has a Tang Garden, and he decided that he would also name his own house Tang Garden, letting Grandpa Wang help him make a nameplate to hang up above.
That way, he could truly live in Tang Garden, living a grounded life.
“Mom should take a nap first.”
Ren Li yawned, she wasn’t fully recovered yet, so she easily got tired now.
After saying that, Ren Li lay down and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
The door outside gently creaked, and Tang Zhinian came in holding Gu Dabai, who was rubbing his eyes with his little fists, clearly lacking energy because he was also sleepy.
“Dad…” Tang Xincheng stood up, then pointed at Ren Li, “Mom is tired.”
“I know,” Tang Zhinian was aware of Ren Li’s sleeping habits, “She has been like this recently.
Your sister said it’s because her qi and blood are a bit low, it might take a few more days for her to recover, and sleeping is the best way for her to rest.”
“Dad, I’ll go out first.”
Tang Xincheng was about to return to his own room, but he looked at Gu Dabai being held by Tang Zhinian and sighed; Dabai couldn’t play with Uncle now.
Gu Dabai nestled his little head on his grandfather’s shoulder and continued to rub his eyes.
Tang Zhinian carefully placed him beside Ren Li, staying there with them.
Tang Xincheng gently closed the door and went back to his room.
He needed to do his homework, he had exams in a few days.
He had taken quite a few days off, and if he didn’t review, he feared he would fall behind his classmates.
If he did poorly, it would be so embarrassing, especially since he was the younger brother of Tang Yuxin, the previous year’s top scorer in the provincial college entrance exam.
He wouldn’t disgrace himself or his sister.
Hmm…
Doodling on the paper with his pen, he cracked a silly smile.
He was going to have his own Tang Garden.
He was truly, really excited.
He dreamed of living in a place like his sister’s one day, authentic and ancient, firm and real, where he could grow his own vegetables and enjoy pastoral sights without ever leaving home.
In a future Beijing filled with skyscrapers, having such a small piece of pure land was incredibly precious.
Therefore, he must safeguard this patch of purity.
Strange to say, their family was in the construction business, yet whether it was Qing’an or Beijing, what they eventually favored was this type of small courtyard, not structures built of cold steel and concrete.
Alright, he put down his pen and flipped a page of his book.

He shouldn’t let his thoughts wander; no matter how much he thought, it was useless.
He had to get through this exam first.
If he couldn’t get past the exam, any excuse he had would still be a justification for failure.
Even though he had a legitimate reason.
Meanwhile, at the main hospital, Tang Yuxin had just finished a surgery when she received word of a critical patient being admitted.
She took off her mask and let out a soft sigh.
