"This...ah! Of course, this has to be something you're willing to do. I'm just mentioning it."

Sister Zhao talks a lot during work hours, and even if Tang Xiaofen refuses, she keeps chattering.

It’s not that I have to persuade Tang Xiaofen to agree, it’s simply because it’s too lonely in the middle of the night and the surroundings are eerily quiet.

She kept talking, firstly to give herself courage and secondly to avoid being bored.

"If you want to remarry, for the sake of your children, it's best to find someone like him who can't have children. Since he doesn't have any children of his own, he'll definitely treat your child as his own. If you find someone who can have children, he'll definitely force you to have another one. Of course, having more children is a good thing, but the key is that after you have your own children, your previous children will definitely have a hard time."

"If you want to remarry, you must give him priority."

Tang Xiaofen was a little confused and finally replied, "Okay, I'll make a note of it."

Sister Zhao didn't care. She was also considering it from Tang Xiaofen's perspective. She felt that a man who couldn't have children was more suitable for divorce and raising children.

Of course, it’s also possible not to get married.

They have formal jobs, and if nothing unexpected happens, it's a stable job that they can work until retirement.

Anyway, I don't rely on men for food. If there is no benefit in getting married, it's better not to get married.

…

Lin Yuyao got the key to the house and officially started decorating it.

There are several old acquaintances in the decoration team. They were the ones who decorated Lin Yuyao and her husband’s wedding room.

"Ms. Lin, you've renovated your new house so soon."

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "Yes, I'm going to trouble you again this time."

"No trouble, no trouble, this is our job."

Their house is next to Fu Leyi's house in the top floor, and the two houses are being renovated together by the same team from the same decoration service department.

Lin Yuyao finalized a more modern decoration plan, which has modern functions but the overall style has a bit of ancient charm.

Fu Leyi's house is different. The house in the Fu family's hometown and the house she lives in now both have an ancient charm.

She was tired of seeing it and thought it was completely outdated.

What she wanted was European-style luxury clothing. Lin Yuyao had seen the picture. If this happened decades later, it would definitely be criticized as a nouveau riche style.

The effect is absolutely golden.

The huge crystal chandelier falling from the third floor roof was so scary.

But it is in line with the luxurious aesthetic of this era.

She has been even busier since the house renovation began.

The two children are taken care of by a nanny, but they cannot be left without someone to look after them.

Ye Lian had to run several times a day. She was used to climbing hills and ridges to do farm work. Although she didn't feel very tired, she still told Lin Yuyao privately that it was a good thing that her eldest brother bought a house that did not require climbing stairs.

"Lin Ping has been gone for several months. He didn't even bother to call me. I don't know how he's doing."

"Regular phones can't receive long-distance calls, so of course you can't reach him. Mom, don't worry, he's fine."

The eldest brother was worried that he would not be able to contact his family if something happened, so he connected the line to Lin Yuyao's house and installed a telephone in his own home.

The two families are in two units, and you can just pull a line to get there, which is very convenient.

"Did he call me?"

"No, but Fu Huaiyi said he's fine. They've already contacted my sister-in-law, who's been there for over two years and is very familiar with the place. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Ye Lian nodded and said, "I'm not worried about him getting into trouble. Even the little girl isn't afraid. Why would I worry about him, a grown man? I just asked casually."

Lin Yuyao: “…” Still quite stubborn.

"By the way, how's the renovation of your house going?"

"It's currently being renovated. Even if we rush the renovation of a villa this size, it will take several months."

"That's right. Your eldest brother will be able to take possession of the house he bought in a few days. What do you think? I'll let your father spend some time on his downtime to decorate it."

Lin Yuyao: “…” No, do you think it’s the house in your hometown?

The house in his hometown was decorated by Old Man Lin himself.

"That's definitely not possible. The plumbing, electricity, and gas systems in a villa are very complex. It's not like a house in the countryside where you can just run a few wires. Professional things should be left to professionals."

Lin Yuyao paused and said, "How about this? You can also find Sister Le Yi's decoration team."

"Ah? That won't do." Ye Lian refused, saying, "You can just let them help you with the renovations. After all, your relationship with your son-in-law is there. If we take advantage of them, we'll be criticized."

Lin Yuyao was at a loss for words. "Mom, what are you talking about? Sister Le Yi's company has its own renovation service department, and this department makes money by helping people renovate their houses. You let Sister Le Yi's renovation service department do the renovations, which is considered bringing them business. How can this be considered taking advantage?"

"ah?"

"Come on, we're just going to give what we deserve. Instead of letting outsiders make money, why not let our relatives make it?"

After hearing her say this, Ye Lian finally understood.

"I thought they were renovating your house for free. No, I remember them renovating your house for free."

"That's different. We didn't spend any money on decorating our wedding room, but my aunt said it was a wedding gift for us."

"Oh, yes, I remember now. That's fine. I'll tell your eldest brother about it later and see what he says."

"Um."

My eldest brother is often out and rarely comes home.

Occasionally he comes back and stays for three or five days before leaving.

He doesn't have time to take care of the decoration, so of course he would be happy to let a professional decoration team do the job.

He immediately made the decision and entrusted the matter to Lin Yuyao, and he was only responsible for paying the money.

My brother now has about a hundred or eighty cars, and driving them is a lot of money.

After making money, he became wealthy.

…

Time flies so fast, it’s already midsummer.

If it were this time of year in previous years, Lin Ping would have come here to work during the summer vacation.

I’m not used to not seeing Lin Ping come this year.

Lin Yuyao and her colleagues are preparing to move to their office. Each department will move there one by one, and all of them need to move out within three months.

Knowing that they were going to leave, Zhou Jing was very reluctant to let them go.

"You said we've known each other for so many years, and you're leaving so suddenly, this... oh! I really can't bear to let you go."

Zhou Jing is a friend that Lin Yuyao met when she was still down and out, and she is of great significance to her.

Not only Zhou Jing was reluctant to let go, Lin Yuyao was also reluctant to let go.

"It's okay. We often run into each other downstairs. We even see each other often when we take the kids out for a walk at night."

"Didn't you say you were moving to a new house before the New Year? That's only a few months away."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"We're all around here, so we'll run into each other often."

All good things must come to an end. In the adult world, one is constantly saying goodbye.

Zhou Jing naturally understood and just said that.
