"Pfft, haha, Mom, youâre really funny." See, in these two years outside, Momâs really gotten some worldly experience. Sheâs much more humorous than when she first came, daring to speak and act, her courage has opened up. Her horizons have broadened too.
"Younger sister, you must keep your money safe, I donât think everyone in the Shen Family is a good person, be careful," Lin Yinghui said worriedly.
"I know, Mom, Brother, donât worry, Iâm not that easy to bully."
In the end, Liang Hongmei didnât take her daughterâs money. Lin Wan didnât insist and went back to plan to deposit the one thousand yuan into her own passbook.
By the time I got home from Momâs place, it was already past seven. Luckily itâs summer now, so it was still a bit light out.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard a child crying inside. Lin Wan hurried in, only to discover that her older cousin and cousin-in-law had come.
"Brother, Saozi, youâre here." Lin Wan then noticed Tan Aixiangâs eyes were red, "What happened?"
"Sigh, Ai Xiang said there have been a few strangers hanging around her neighborhood these days, sheâs scared, so she came over with the child," said the mother-in-law beside them.
"Xiao Wan, Iâm really sorry, we didnât have a choice, Iâm just afraid in case something happens. Those people are quite brazen, but this is an area with many people living in these blue brick houses, they dare not come here. However, in our areaâs factory dormitories, everyone is at work during the day, there are fewer people at home, easy to strike, easy to escape. They are now targeting the dormitory buildings," Tan Aixiang felt embarrassed, after all, there werenât that many rooms on this side, if she moved here, it meant Xiao Wan had to move out.
"Xiao Wan, donât mind, let your Saozi squeeze in with you, I wonât stay here." Bo Xu felt apologetic, but there was nothing he could do, the child was the most important.
"Brother, Saozi, you shouldnât feel burdened, Han Yi and I have bought a house on Xuefu Road, weâll be moving out of here by tomorrow. I was just about to tell Grandma to let you all know to move back soon. I hear itâs quite chaotic outside lately, it doesnât matter to us, but we canât wrong the child. If something really happens, there wonât even be time for regret," seeing the coupleâs guilty look, Lin Wan felt sad.
Speaking of it, this isnât really a big issue.
"Xiao Wan, thank you, Saozi, thanks you here," Tan Aixiang wiped her tears, gratefully holding Lin Wanâs hand. She knew that although Grandma initially intended to give the house to their family after she passed, coming over now is indeed their fault. "Grandma, please donât be mad at us, Iâve been scared this past month, last week there was a child stolen next door. That family is now like mad people, too messed up to even work, busy looking for their child every day. The house is turned upside down."
Han Ying was quite shocked hearing this, "This is unacceptable, donât worry, Bo Xu will stay in the factory dormitory first, Ai Xiang brings the child to stay in my room first, Xiao Wan will move in a few days. When itâs done, you can move back. Your little aunt found a place too and theyâre moving out."
"Hmm, listen to Grandma," Being able to settle it, Shen Boxu felt relieved.
Tan Aixiang felt a bit uncomfortable hearing Grandma letting her stay in her room. She was planning to stay with Xiao Wan.
After all, the old ladyâs bed had a bit of a smell, not to mention there was still the little aunt around.
No one noticed Tan Aixiangâs dissatisfaction.
Shen Boxu thought Lin Wan had to move tomorrow, planning to take a day off to help her move, but Lin Wan said her brother was coming, there wasnât much stuff. So, she didnât let him take a day off.
With a little one in the house, the evening was livelier.
"Lijuan, tomorrow Iâll be done moving, how about you come with me and live over there?"
"No need, Saozi, Grandma said to let me stay at Aunt Jinâs for a few days first. Saozi, today Xiao Dung went to our new house there."
"He went by himself?"
Hu Lijuan nodded, "Hmm, that household has four members, the couple at work, leaving the old lady to take care of the two-year-old child. When Xiao Dung went, only the old lady and the child were at home. He went in and tried to evict them. Scared the child into crying. Later the male owner came back and gave him a punch."
"Ah, so reckless, even going to someoneâs house to evict them, itâs no surprise he got hit, was it serious?"
"They didnât dare really hurt him, the renters are also colleagues from my dadâs workplace, in the end, they said the tenants paid the rent, they said the house couldnât be taken away for no reason."
"How many months do they have left on the lease?"
