Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290 Sons Are Better Than Daughters

As soon as Miss Clay got home, she received a call from the cemetery.

She felt skeptical about it.

How could the price drop to 370,000 dollars in less than an hour?

Something must have happened!

The person who called her said enthusiastically, “I’ve been begging the manager all morning! You should hurry here and buy it quickly or else it’ll be sold out. You shouldn’t miss out on such a great deal! I’ll reserve it for you!”

Miss Clay was silent.

She said cautiously, “I’ll go over and think about it,”

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

When her younger brother heard it, he was anxious, “Why would you wanna think about it, Claire? Just buy it, it’ll be sold out later!”

You’ll save 200,000 dollars and you don’t need to borrow money anymore. You can even buy me a car with the remaining cash!”

Miss Clay stood up and said in exhaustion, “I’ll go by myself, you don’t have to go,”

1. 1.

But her brother stood up immediately, “No way, we’re buying a burial plot for Dad… I’m his son, how can I not go with you?”

Miss Clay did not want to talk to him, so she left.

They saw their parents return from a walk as they went downstairs. Their father asked, “Why are you. going out again?”

Miss Clay was silent, and her brother replied, “Everything’s fine, don’t worry about us,”

Their mother looked at Miss Clay, “What’s wrong, Claire?”

Claire replied, “It’s nothing, Mom. We’ll get the groceries on the back. You should head back first!”

They left after they were done talking.

A few old men and women were strolling nearby and said, “Your kids are filial, where are they going?”

Claire’s father shook his head and smiled, “I think they’re off to Greenhill Cemetery to buy a burial plot

for me,”

Everyone in the community knew that he had cancer and comforted him, “Don’t think about it too much, your children were so busy when you were hospitalized. They even paid for the medical bills. You have such a filial son, he must’ve been looking for a good place for you,”

The group of old men and old ladies were calm when they talked about death. So, they joked about it.

“Greenhill Cemetery is a great place. Many wealthy people rest at that place. You’re really lucky to have

such a son…”

“Your son is so capable!”

Claire’s father enjoyed the envy and admiration of others, and he was in a good mood.

Of course, he would not say that his daughter paid for his medical bills, and she was the one who took care of him in the hospital.

Claire’s mother endured it and kept quiet and dragged him

away.

When they got home, the old lady could not help complaining, “Claire did so much for you and you never talked about her. Why do you always talk about your son?”

The old man was unhappy, “Isn’t Ken a good son as well?”

To him, everything Claire did for him was what she was supposed to do as a daughter. However, he still thought that he had a great son although he only visited him occasionally.

He did not know that his son would not visit him if not many people knew that he had cancer!

Not only did his son visit him at the hospital, but he even showed him around. None of his friends could. match him.

The old lady frowned, “I’m not saying that Ken is a bad son. It’s just that Clair was the one who took care of you. She even stayed up to help you and delivered your meals when she was working,”

Clair was afraid that her mother would be too tired to take care of her father, so insisted on going to the hospital at night instead.

Her mother suggested that the siblings take turns watching over their father at night. However, Ken said that he would be too tired to work the next morning if he had to do so.
