Mr. Xie looked at Jie Jianjun. 'He has the means to help his wife's family, but when it comes to arranging a place for my third sister's children, suddenly he claims he can't.' "Fine," he said. "If you can't arrange it, I will."
Before Chen Xiuhua could even feel happy, Mr. Xie spoke again, "An Qi's old room is empty. Let Third Sister's kids stay there."
"No," was Granny's first reaction. "You have plenty of empty rooms at your place. Have them stay there."
"Mom, we've already divided the family property," Mr. Xie said.
"Divided the property?" Granny and Grandpa said in unison.
"Divided it again?" Chen Xiuhua and Jie Jianjun exclaimed.
"The west wing goes to Jing Si, the east wing to Jing San, and the south wing to Jing Wu," Mr. Xie stated.
"A perfectly good courtyard, split into pieces. What a mess!" Grandpa lamented.
"What about the north wing?" Granny asked.
"Yan Qiu and I are living there," Mr. Xie said, sidestepping the main point.
