Chapter 418:

"Ah, hello, hello," the person who answered the phone was an elderly man. After understanding Yue Jiuling's purpose, he immediately said politely, "Oh, you've come today. I'm sorry, I'm not home today. But my granddaughter-in-law is at home taking care of the child. She probably didn't hear the doorbell. Let me call her."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

After hearing the explanation, Yue Jiuling hung up the phone and said, "Sigh, I rang the doorbell so many times, but that cockroach spirit's granddaughter-in-law couldn't hear me. I wonder what she's doing~"

Because the phone call was made with the speakerphone on, Ya Zi heard the voice on the other end saying, "I didn't hear the doorbell. Maybe they're asleep?"

"Who knows? Ugh, hurry up and open the door, I'm so cold, this wind is really uncomfortable."

The wind was very strong today, and Yue Jiuling felt like her nose was about to run. She kept feeling a cool sensation in her nose, as if she was about to catch a cold.

Are you cold?

Ya Zi looked at Yue Jiuling's face, which was red from the wind, and then wanted to take off his black coat and give it to Yue Jiuling to wear. He said, "Why do I find that you have so few clothes? You've been wearing this coat for the past few days, and it looks very thin."

Yue Jiuling originally didn't want Ya Zi's clothes. She said, "Oh, no need, no need. I have clothes to wear. It's just that when I was looking for clothes earlier, I found that all my previous winter clothes were dirty, so I took them to wash. They've been drying in the sun for the past few days."

When Yue Jiuling brought up this matter, she was also very angry. She had quite a few clothes before, but she never expected that when she was looking for clothes that day, she would find that all her winter clothes had been thrown into the storage room and were all dirty.

They captured Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing and asked them what happened. Surprisingly, they heard the reason: these clothes got dirty in the summer because they had hidden chocolates and lollipops in the closet, and then threw them into the storage room after they got dirty.

This infuriated Yue Jiuling. If it weren't for the fact that she had a lot of things to do lately, she would have sent the two of them to soak in cold water.

Ya Zi took his coat and draped it over Yue Jiuling's shoulders, saying, "It's okay, you wear it. I'm healthy and not afraid of the cold. You mustn't catch a cold. We have to work these next few days. If you catch a cold, I'll be the only one working, and that would be so tiring for me!"

"Um, okay then, I'll put it on first, thanks."

Yue Jiuling saw that Ya Zi only had a sweater and a scarf left, but he didn't seem cold at all, so she accepted Ya Zi's kindness. She said, "After we're done with this cockroach demon, let's go to the mall to buy clothes. We can't keep taking your clothes from you."

"Yes, that's fine."

Ya Zi nodded and said with a smile.

Five minutes after the phone call, the cockroach spirit's door finally opened. A plump woman wearing thick clothes came out to open the door. When she saw Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi, she was very respectful, bowing her head and saying politely, "Hello, you must be from the management office. I'm sorry, I was watching TV in the living room and didn't hear the doorbell. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Seeing that someone had finally come to open the door, Yue Jiuling immediately nodded and said, "Yes, it's okay, it's just too cold outside. Please let us in first. Here are our identification documents."

Wrapped in Ya Zi's coat, Yue Jiuling squeezed herself into the house while showing her identification to the woman.

After seeing Yue Jiuling's identification, the woman quickly said, "Oh, okay, okay, I'm sorry, please come in."

After Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi entered the house, it immediately felt much warmer. Sure enough, the sound of a television could be heard from inside the room, and it was quite loud. It seemed that the woman had not lied, because the sound was indeed so loud that one could not hear the doorbell.

"Please have a seat. Let me pour you some water first."

The woman led Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi to sit on the sofa in the living room, and then said, "It's so cold today, and you still have to come to work. You've really worked hard."

"Haha, it's actually fine. You don't need to pour water; it would be too much trouble for you."

Yue Jiuling sat on the sofa, speaking politely, but in her heart she really wanted a woman to pour her a cup of hot water to warm her up.

After sitting down, Ya Zi observed the house and noticed that there were many toys in the living room, but no children. So she asked, "Where are your children? I don't see them."

"Oh, everyone's still sleeping at this hour. The kids just fell asleep after playing. Here, have some hot water."

The woman warmly poured hot water for the two of them and then said, "You've come today for the census of the Yaokou people, right? We have three children in our family, born last month. My husband said that we've already registered them at the management office, and now we're just waiting for you to issue us the permits."

"Oh, three newborns? Let me check the information."

After taking a sip of hot water, Yue Jiuling put down the cup and started flipping through a folder, saying, "Let me take a look. Hmm? That's not right. Didn't your family have one child two years ago? How come you have three children now?"

After seeing the contents of the document, Yue Jiuling asked curiously, "That child should be of school age by now, right? Have you arranged a school for him?"
