The two followed Jiang Anxia into the main hall of the Jiang family home.

Father Jiang was sitting at the table drinking water, occasionally raising a palm-leaf fan to fan himself.

"Dad, these two educated youths want to see you." Jiang Anxia looked at her father's leisurely demeanor and felt a lump in her throat.

Is this something a normal father would do? He stays home drinking water and fanning himself while his daughter does chores outside.

"What's wrong? What is it?" Hearing his daughter's voice, Mr. Jiang handed her the palm-leaf fan and asked her to fan him.

Jiang Anxia took it and slapped herself hard.

It's so hot, it's unbearably hot today.

"We heard that the brigade has some empty houses. We'd like to ask the brigade leader if we can rent them?" Gu Yanzhu watched as Jiang's father poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Jiang Anxia.

He thought to himself: This child is quite spoiled at home.

"Yes, there is, but it needs some repairs," Father Jiang thought for a moment.

The house he bought is alright.

"You can go and take a look before making a decision," Mr. Jiang suggested, still believing that they should go and see for themselves before deciding, just in case they weren't satisfied.

"Okay, thank you, Captain." Gu Yanzhu had originally planned to rent it directly, but now that she's letting them take a look, that's fine too.

“Okay, Xiaxia! The house is the one next door to ours, you see…” Jiang’s father didn’t finish his sentence, but Jiang Anxia understood what he wanted to say.

"I'll go." Jiang Anxia gave a deathly smile.

She had never seen anyone harm their daughter to such an extent before.
