Zhang Guoqing accompanied his mother to stroll slowly over to Meili's house. He occasionally reminded her how to remember the landmarks. As they walked down the road, Mother Zhang slowly became lost in thought.
After a while, she couldn't help but ask him, "Xiao Wu, how much did your father-in-law spend to buy the courtyard? I see it's arranged so brightly inside. Your father-in-law is really willing to spend."
Zhang Guoqing laughed and said, "Mom, he has only one daughter, how could he not be willing? I heard that when Jiao Jiao was just born, he was over the moon. He hadn't seen the child for so many years, and now seeing her suffer so much grievance, he feels terrible. Naturally, he wants to give her the best. He spent eight hundred yuan on this courtyard. But I've calculated, the things inside probably cost about the same to furnish. He replaced everything except the furniture with new ones."
