the Wu Family of six sat in the car.
At that time, traffic management in Beijing was not as strict as in later years, so even if the car was overloaded, no one cared.
The car sped quickly, sending dust flying everywhere.
Sitting in the backseat, Yan Erju, frightened, said, "Sister Yangyang, where are you taking us?"
Ni Yang smiled and said, "Don’t worry, Godmother. You’ll know when we get there."
Yan Erju was stunned.
She thought Ni Yang was just pretending, but even on the car, Ni Yang still called her Godmother.
Ni Yang continued, "Yanyun and I have a special connection. I also really like the three brothers, Wu Dalong, Erlong, and Xiaolong. Godfather and Godmother, if you don’t mind, I would like to be your goddaughter from now on."
Wu Jinshu, not expecting Ni Yang to say that, quickly said, "We don’t mind at all, Sister Yangyang, I think, your aunt and I haven’t..."
Wu Jinshu hadn’t even finished speaking when Ni Yang said, "Since you don’t mind, then from now on, you two are my godparents and Yanyun is my sister. Wu Dalong, Erlong, and Xiaolong are my brothers."
"That’s great! I like Sister Yangyang!" Wu Dalong blurted out.
Ni Yang turned her gaze to Wu Yanyun and asked, "Yanyun, what do you think?"
Wu Yanyun, sitting in the passenger seat, turned to Ni Yang and said, "Sister Yangyang."
She was truly grateful to Ni Yang. If it hadn’t been for Ni Yang today, she would have had to marry Wu Qiang.
Ni Yang smiled slightly.
Soon, the car entered a Community and beautifully swerved to stop in front of an apartment building.
Ni Yang had bought many houses in the Urban Area before, and this apartment building was one of her properties.
The house was simply furnished, but it had everything from pots and pans. Before Ni Cuihua was back in Beijing, they occasionally stayed here for a few days.
"Godfather, Godmother, someone comes regularly to clean here. Except for the utensils we’ve used, everything else is new. You can live here from now on," Ni Yang said.
"How could we possibly do that!" Wu Jinshu exclaimed. "Sister Yangyang, this is your house. How could we live here!"
Ni Yang, smiling, said, "Don’t worry, Godfather. It’s not like I’m giving you this house for free. I’ll charge you 10 yuan rent each month. Anyway, it’s vacant otherwise. When you’re later financially stable and want to buy a place, I can sell this apartment to you."
Although Ni Yang didn’t care about this particular property, she knew Wu Jinshu and Yan Erju were honest people who wouldn’t accept her gift without cause, hence, she proposed renting it to them.
The apartment had four rooms and two living rooms, and with two bathrooms, there was plenty of space for everyone in the Wu Family.
Wu Jinshu looked around the house, "Sister Yangyang, such a nice place and you only charge ten yuan a month."
Even though it was simply decorated, in Wu Jinshu’s eyes it was extremely luxurious. The house had everything, even tile and wooden flooring. After all, even Wu Lan’s basic mud house rented for ten yuan a month.
Ni Yang said, "The house remains vacant anyway, and I wouldn’t feel comfortable renting it to strangers. Renting it to you and Godmother gives me peace of mind."
With that, Wu Jinshu felt much relieved.
Ni Yang then said, "Godmother, look, there’s a small yard in front of the first floor. You could plant some vegetables there when you’re free."
Yan Erju really liked the house, but she was still a bit embarrassed, "Sister Yangyang, the rent you’re asking is too low..."
Ni Yang, smiling, said, "We’re not strangers after all. I couldn’t rent this place out for a single cent when it’s vacant."
Wu Yanyun also liked this new home, but was concerned about Grandma Wu, "Now that we’ve all moved here, what about Grandma?"
Wu Jinshu didn’t say anything.
Yan Erju was still upset, "Your grandma deserves it."
Wu Yanyun continued, "But Grandma is so elderly now, and when we were leaving, Aunt Wu was still asking her for money..." Even though her grandmother was willing to marry her off to Wu Qiang, Wu Yanyun still felt a bit worried for her.
Especially since she had found out she was not the biological daughter of Wu Jinshu and Yan Erju.
Seeing Wu Yanyun , Ni Yang spoke bluntly, "Godmother is right, your grandma deserves it, it’s her own fault. Your family’s life isn’t unbearable. She had a good life and chose not to live it, instead causing trouble. Have you ever thought about what would happen if you had married Wu Qiang?"
