A few days later, they got their travel documents to Hong Kong.
Kang Er Zheng brought them to Hong Kong.
Kang Bo met Kang Er Zheng's mother, who was also his stepmother.
After some discussion.
With the stepmother's coercion and inducements.
They had no choice but to agree.
After all, the stepmother had not divorced Kang Bo's father, and she had half the inheritance rights to the Kang family's West Gate House.
Kang Bo and the others had to formally acknowledge Kang Er Zheng, Coco, and the stepmother's identities.
Kang Er Zheng didn't feel much about whether or not he should join the Kang family genealogy.
He didn't care.
But his mother, Ah Zhuan, felt strongly about it.
The older generation placed great importance on this.
Kang Er Zheng didn't mind; if his mother wanted him to join, he would join. His mother's happiness was all that mattered.
He also didn't think about searching for his biological parents.
That would be inviting trouble.
It wouldn't be difficult for him to find his biological parents; he could just throw some money around.
But he wouldn't do that. Now he had a loving mother, a mischievous little sister, and a whole bunch of new Kang family members.
He wouldn't be lacking in family warmth.
There was no need to create more problems for himself.
He had also specifically asked the orphanage director about why he was abandoned.
After learning the reason, he just shook his head and chuckled.
Before he transmigrated, he was actually a fool.
He became a normal person only after transmigrating.
He wasn't born with mental retardation; he became like that because of a serious illness.
When he transmigrated, the world's will directly enhanced his physique.
His intelligence, physique, and appearance all improved.
Otherwise, how could he grow up to be so handsome and get into Hong Kong University at the age of seventeen?
He was 6 feet tall, handsome, and had a score of 90 in appearance (on a scale of 60-70 for ordinary people, 80 for good-looking people).
The average person's IQ is between 90-110.
Kang Er Zheng's IQ was 130.
Since transmigrating, he hadn't gotten sick, not even a minor cold.
He could swim hundreds of meters without taking a breath.
He exclaimed that he had struck it rich.
At the station.
"Ah Shou, you have to take care of Ah Zheng for me." The stepmother instructed Kang Bo.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Ah Zheng. I'll treat him like my own son, like a younger brother." Kang Bo said helplessly. He originally wanted to say "like a son," but seeing Kang Qi Zheng nod, he changed his words.
"Mom, I'm so grown up. I don't need my big brother to take care of me." Kang Qi Zheng said.
"You're alone, in a strange place. Your big brother can help you." The stepmother said with concern.
"Get in the car. We're about to leave." Ah Zu came down and said.
"Okay, then I'll go now." Kang Bo said to his stepmother.
"Wait a minute." The stepmother suddenly called out to him.
Kang Bo turned his head back in confusion.
"Here's a check. I'm part of the Kang family too. You've lived in the West Gate House for so long. Ah Zheng said it's a little old. Take this to renovate it." The stepmother took out an envelope.
"Huh?" Kang Bo was taken aback.
Ah Zu and the others were also stunned.
Everyone in the car stuck their heads out of the window.
They all curiously looked at the envelope in Kang Bo's hand.
"How much is it?" Kang Bo asked in surprise.
"It's not much, 300,000. I estimated that 300,000 should be enough to renovate the West Gate House and replace some furniture." The stepmother said.
"300,000." Kang Bo was surprised.
Ah Zu and the others in the car were also surprised.
"With 300,000, why renovate the West Gate House? We might as well go out and buy a big apartment building to live in." Ah Zong said quietly.
"That's right." The others agreed.
Right now, the houses in Tianhe, Guangzhou, are not expensive.
2,000-3,000 per square meter.
300,000 is enough to buy a 100-square-meter apartment. If you add another 100,000, you can even live in a detached villa.
Compared to Kang Bo and Kang Shen, who have a deep affection for the West Gate House.
Ah Zong and the others needed to live in an apartment building.
"That dilapidated West Gate House, what's so good about living there?" The second sister-in-law nodded.
Kang Bo turned his head and glared at them.
"Ah Shou, this money is for you to renovate the West Gate House. You can't use it for anything else." The stepmother warned Kang Bo.
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll use it all to renovate the West Gate House." Kang Bo promised.
He had also thought the West Gate House was a little dilapidated and wanted to renovate it, but he didn't have any money, so he kept putting it off. Now, he had money.
"That's enough, you guys can go now." The stepmother looked at the time and said to them.
"Ah Zheng, remember to call home when you get to Guangzhou." The stepmother instructed Kang Er Zheng.
"Okay, Mom." Kang Er Zheng nodded.
The group boarded the bus back to Guangzhou.
"It's so hard to leave Grandma's villa on Taiping Mountain." Ah Zu said with a bit of nostalgia.
"Yeah, you can see the whole of Hong Kong from there." The second sister-in-law agreed.
They were all sitting on a large bus.
"I never thought Ah Zhuan would change so much." Kang Bo said on the bus with emotion.
"You, you changed your tune after taking her money." The old lady joked.
"What, what?" Kang Bo was a little embarrassed.
"Dad, in my opinion, don't renovate the West Gate House with this 300,000. We should sell the West Gate House and then buy several more Western-style houses. We brothers can each have one." Ah Zu suggested.
The others all nodded in agreement.
"This boy has finally said something sensible for once." The second brother also agreed.
Ah Yao and Ah Guang felt this plan was good.
If the West Gate House is sold, it could be sold for over a million, enough to buy four or five houses.
Kang Qi Zheng raised his eyebrows in front.
"Ahem." Kang Qi Zheng deliberately coughed.
The bus immediately became quiet.
"You can't do that. That's the ancestral home of the Kang family. If you sell it, the ancestors might climb out of their graves." Kang Qi Zheng reminded.
"That's right. Ah Zheng is right, we can't sell it. It's the ancestral home of our Kang family. I've lived there my whole life, how could I sell it?" Kang Bo nodded solemnly.
He definitely wouldn't agree to selling the West Gate House.
"You bunch of losers, all you think about is selling the ancestral house. I'm afraid that if I sell it today, my father will come looking for me tonight." Kang Bo said to them.
"No, Dad, it's been a long time since Grandpa passed away, how could he possibly come?" Ah Zu said sheepishly.
"Yeah, Dad, look, we have a large family living in the West Gate House. It's okay for now, but after big brother, Ah Yao, and Ah Zu get married, the house will be crowded. We won't have enough space." Ah Zong still wanted to persuade Kang Bo.
"You guys don't have to worry. I've taken a look. Your West Gate House looks small now because you haven't planned it well. Actually, your attic can be expanded. You can build another room up there. Combine that with the room you use for storage, and then renovate it, you can get two more rooms. You won't have to worry about not having enough space then." Kang Er Zheng said.
"Combine that with the original four rooms, you'll have a total of six rooms." Kang Er Zheng added.
In the original plot.
The Kang family had a second floor, not just an attic.
The plot mentioned a small hallway on the second floor.
"See, your uncle is making a lot of sense." Kang Bo thought this made a lot of sense.
He definitely didn't want the Kang family to split up.
"So, Uncle, will you live with us in the future?" Ah Guang asked curiously.
"No, I won't live with you." Kang Er Zheng shook his head.
He thought the Kang family had so many people, it wouldn't be convenient for him to live in the West Gate House.
"Ah Zheng, where are you going to live then? Did you buy a house in Guangzhou?" The old lady asked.
"Yeah, Ah Zheng, it's better for you to live at home. When we renovate the attic, you can live up there." Kang Bo said.
"Big brother, big sister-in-law, don't worry. I'm going to buy a West Gate House near your place. That way, I'll have someone to look after me." Kang Er Zheng said.
"What?!" Everyone was surprised to hear that Kang Er Zheng wanted to buy a West Gate House.
"That's going to cost a lot of money. The starting price in our area is 6,000-7,000 per square meter." The second sister-in-law exclaimed.
"That's going to be 600,000-700,000." Ah Zu estimated.
"About that. I have 800,000 now. After I buy the West Gate House and renovate it, I'll be pretty much out of money." Kang Er Zheng said.
"800,000!" Ah Zong and the second sister-in-law opened their eyes wide.
800,000!
"Uncle, with 800,000, why buy a West Gate House? You might as well buy a mansion." The second sister-in-law urged.
If Kang Er Zheng bought a mansion, they could get a piece of the pie in the future.
"Yeah, yeah." Ah Zong echoed.
"I still prefer to live in a West Gate House. It's warm in winter and cool in summer." Kang Er Zheng shook his head with a smile. "Mansions are too impersonal."
"Yeah, West Gate Houses are very comfortable. It's so lively with a whole family living together." Kang Bo nodded in agreement.
Ah Zong and the others were dismissive.
Lively? You have to queue up to use the toilet.
