"Pfft, haha, Mom, you’re really funny." See, in these two years outside, Mom’s really gotten some worldly experience. She’s 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 don’t think everyone in the Shen Family is a good person, be careful," Lin Yinghui said worriedly.
"I know, Mom, Brother, don’t worry, I’m not that easy to bully."
In the end, Liang Hongmei didn’t take her daughter’s money. Lin Wan didn’t insist and went back to plan to deposit the one thousand yuan into her own passbook.
By the time I got home from Mom’s place, it was already past seven. Luckily it’s 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, you’re here." Lin Wan then noticed Tan Aixiang’s eyes were red, "What happened?"
"Sigh, Ai Xiang said there have been a few strangers hanging around her neighborhood these days, she’s scared, so she came over with the child," said the mother-in-law beside them.
"Xiao Wan, I’m really sorry, we didn’t have a choice, I’m 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 area’s 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 weren’t that many rooms on this side, if she moved here, it meant Xiao Wan had to move out.
"Xiao Wan, don’t mind, let your Saozi squeeze in with you, I won’t stay here." Bo Xu felt apologetic, but there was nothing he could do, the child was the most important.
"Brother, Saozi, you shouldn’t feel burdened, Han Yi and I have bought a house on Xuefu Road, we’ll 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 it’s quite chaotic outside lately, it doesn’t matter to us, but we can’t wrong the child. If something really happens, there won’t even be time for regret," seeing the couple’s guilty look, Lin Wan felt sad.
Speaking of it, this isn’t really a big issue.
"Xiao Wan, thank you, Saozi, thanks you here," Tan Aixiang wiped her tears, gratefully holding Lin Wan’s 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 don’t be mad at us, I’ve 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, don’t 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 it’s done, you can move back. Your little aunt found a place too and they’re 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 lady’s bed had a bit of a smell, not to mention there was still the little aunt around.
No one noticed Tan Aixiang’s 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 wasn’t much stuff. So, she didn’t let him take a day off.
With a little one in the house, the evening was livelier.
"Lijuan, tomorrow I’ll be done moving, how about you come with me and live over there?"
"No need, Saozi, Grandma said to let me stay at Aunt Jin’s 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 someone’s house to evict them, it’s no surprise he got hit, was it serious?"
"They didn’t dare really hurt him, the renters are also colleagues from my dad’s workplace, in the end, they said the tenants paid the rent, they said the house couldn’t be taken away for no reason."
"How many months do they have left on the lease?"
