Chapter 78


    "Since you guys here today, why don''t all of youe along? All of us should be visiting Godfrey''s new


    ce too." Fred fanned the mes and roped everyone in the house into the matter.


    "That''s right! We should take a look at it too. Who knows if it''ll be as big as Freddie''s ce?"


    "Godfrey, where''s your new house?"


    "You’re a Sue. The area must be at least as prestigious as Fred''s, right?"


    Godfrey nodded his head awkwardly, at a loss for words. What new house? They were barely


    managing t o feed themselves; they did not have the money for a new house.


    Fortunately, Fred''s son was not around today. Otherwise, would have created even more trouble for


    Samuel.


    After they had lunch, Godfrey excused himself from the party. Fred reminded him to give a call before


    he left, and the other old ssmates looked as though they were wishing him luck with the situation.


    Samuel even set a date and told them to visit on the fifteenth of next month. He would inform them of


    the address then. That made Lydia nearly explode in anger.


    After Samuel and his family left, Fred spoke to his old ssmates with an expression of utter disdain, "I


    never imagined that Godfrey''s son-inw would have the gall to make idle boasts in front of me. Did


    you see Godfrey''s expression? He looked like he wanted to die from shame."


    "Hah! Godfrey probably never imagined that he would be shot in the foot by his own son-inw.

    Wouldn''t he have told us as soon as possible if he bought a new house? Why would he hide the fact


    until now?"


    "I''m waiting for this sh*tshow to turn into a tragicedy on the fifteenth."


    At the bottom of theplex, the family of four got into the car. Then Lydia said to Samuel in an icy


    tone," Samuel Hannigan, are you insane? Do you really want t o shame us to death? Are you going to


    wave your wand and make a new house appear by the fifteenth o f the next month?"


    "I really bought a house. It''s secondhand, but it’s pretty good," Samuel answered.


    Lydia was stunned. This fellow bought a house? Even i f it was secondhand and was not as expensive


    as its initial price, it would have cost a pretty sum too.


    He never worked for the three years he married into the Sues. How could he have that much money?


    "Seems like you''ve been pocketing money for yourself throughout these years, Samuel." Lydia


    sneered.


    However, she never expected him to have so much money, even with the two thousand bucks he


    received every month for three years as living expenses. How much could he possibly save even if he


    siphoned some of the money into his ount?


    Yvonne nced at her husband. She knew Samuel would never make such idle boasts. He just did not


    think through his words back at the Turners'' ce. After all, he did buy the two cars they had now; the


    house was probably not a problem either.


    Yet he already bought two Audis, and now a secondhand house. He probably did not have much


    savings left.


    "Mom, don''t you know how much you give him every month?" she said in ce of Samuel.


    Lydia did not retort. Even if he scrimped and saved, he could not have saved more than ten thousand


    bucks throughout the three years. It was impossible to buy a house with that amount of money.


    "You can''t just go around among the Turners saying that you have a new house, even if you do have


    one. Just look at their duplex apartment. Can your secondhand house beat that? It''ll just be


    embarrassing for us if they visit," Lydia said.


    Godfrey huffed a frustrated sigh. "You really got us into trouble this time," he said to Samuel. "Fred is


    looking for an opportunity to make a joke out of us, and you handed it to him on a silver tter." "No,


    no. We''ll rent an entire house. We can''t lose face n o matter what.” Lydia''s existence revolved around


    her reputation; she had practically donated two hundred thousand bucks for bragging rights, and now


    she wanted to rent a whole house to preserve her dignity.


    Godfrey agreed with her. "That’s right. That''s all we can do. Otherwise, we''ll be mocked by Fred Turner


    until the cowse home. Besides, that son of his goes around showing off just because he has a


    wellpaying job. It''s not like Yvonne is doing any worse."


    When they reached home, the old couple immediately set off to work. They browsed through houses


    for rent on the inte. Yvonne could not stop them even if she wanted to, so she let them be.
