Eli will buy the house in his name (what with?). Dina can live rent free in the basement and he'll rent out the rest of the house. If she hassles their mother he'll throw her out. If she behaves she can have the house at some point.

Miri calls Esti upset again. Esti tells her they have to be firm with Dina.

With what money is he doing this? Is Esti ok with this?

I have the Ami sitting in my dining room but it’s more fun to read second hand tbh.

I have such family members; I know

is it inborn or just the way she's raised?

Probably a combo

I think dina is up to something. It doesn’t make sense that she’d be ok with eli owning the house and living in the basement, even if it’s rent free.
And what was uncle aharon and eli talking about while he esti was in a different room taking her online class ? Seems like she may have missed some pieces of the story to the offer eli is now giving dina.

Is there some deep dark secret about dina mom is hiding? Was she adopted? Was mom married previously and dina is from that marriage? Was dina lost on a trip as a child and mom feels guilty? Did dad borrow money from shady people and dina was threatened or kidnapped?
And that’s why mom gives her everything?
You can tell that I like to read murder mysteries.

Also think there might be a reason. But Dina is the youngest, so can't be from a previous marriage. Maybe an affair lol

What can Dina be up to?
She's losing her power over her little serfs.
That's why it's so important to strip bullies of their power. They become nothings.

To all those asking about what money Eli is using- he's made it quite clear before Uncle Aaron's original offer that he would be able to buy it if Dina would live in the basement and rent out the upstairs. He would take out a bigger mortgage and get a higher rent from the upstairs to pay it back.

Down payment money is still needed, even in this scenario. And the story definitely portrays their finances in a way that eli wouldn’t have this kind of money. The business isn’t doing well, remember.

I believe there was a down payment already. So if he doesn’t buy it he looses out.

I'm assuming they already gave some kind of deposit? That's what we had to do when we built a house.

Yes, but he mentioned he could take out a bigger mortgage to do it this way.
It's been mentioned a lot earlier in the story that he could manage it this way.

ETA: Seriously I'm posting facts from the serial and getting hugged. Ok you guys. I'm officially leaving this thread. How rude can you get??

Don’t worry about the huggers, also sometimes it happens by mistake

Any updates please?

Esti discovers the five stages of grief and thinks Eli's anger may be down to grief.

I think the five stages have long been disproved but who knows.

yes I was not a fan of the seeming turn this story took with the introduction of esti suddenly discovering the five steps of grief and wondering if this explains eli's behavior...too pat to say the least
