Chapter 101 Back

"Move out? No, where are you moving to? Who at home made you angry?" Jiang Xinlan sat up straight in an instant.

"No, no one is mad at me. Oh, no, it's just that we have this idea. I just want to ask you."

Although Jiang Xinbai didn't like living under the same roof with Su Qiuyan, she still got along very well with her mother-in-law. She was torn between wanting to move out and not wanting to.

Jiang Xinlan rolled her eyes when she heard her say that. "I was so scared. I thought someone had pissed you off! You, just live here peacefully. Aunt Sun will take care of Xiaobao for you. Just be happy! Do you really think it's so easy to move out?"

"No," Jiang Xinbai's shoulders slumped, and he said helplessly, "Su Qiuyan scolds Lili in front of us whenever she's not happy, and she scared Xiaobao several times. And she also stares at everything we eat, almost checking if there's anything hidden in my mouth, for fear that mother-in-law is cooking something special for us. I'm not afraid of her, I just feel uncomfortable, as if there's something wrong with her brain."

"Just for this?"

"Of course there are many small things. Jinsheng also thinks that if there is a suitable house, we can move out and live more comfortably."

Jiang Xinlan thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to move out and rent a place, I know a place that's close to here, just across the street."

"Where? Tell me quickly." Jiang Xinbai asked impatiently.

"It's just across from the grain station. It seems to be a bungalow with a yard."

"Really? That's very close, second sister, how did you know?"

Jiang Xinlan shrugged. "My mother-in-law said that the street office will help rent it! It's five dollars a month."

"How big?"

"I don't know. If you are interested, I can ask for you. But my mother-in-law said that the house is a bit run-down and has only two rooms. The yard is quite big, but they won't let you build it!"

Jiang Xinbai thought about it and was still a little tempted, "Second sister, please ask Aunt Xu for me, let's go take a look first."

"Are you really going to move? I'll be lonely if you move out, and I still have you to talk to." Jiang Xinlan didn't want her sister to move out. They could live in the same building and still talk to each other, and could help each other with anything.

"No, second sister, it won't happen so fast. Just go and take a look. Look at you, if it really doesn't work out, you can move with us and we can live in the same yard." Jiang Xinbai joked with a smile.

Jiang Xinlan wrinkled her nose when she heard this, "I don't want to move. It's so nice to live at home. My mother-in-law will take care of us. Forget it, my mother-in-law..."

"Hey, Mom, you're back just in time. Come here quickly, I have something to tell you." Jiang Xinlan raised her eyes and saw her mother-in-law coming up the stairs.

"What's wrong?" Xu Fengni was still holding a piece of tofu in her hand.

"Mom, didn't you say last time that there was a small yard diagonally opposite the grain station for rent? How is it? Is it still available?"

Xu Fengni nodded, "It's still there, what's the matter? Someone wants to rent the house?"

Jiang Xinlan pointed at her sister and said with a smile: "Xiaobai wants to go and have a look. Mom, don't you have the key? Take Xiaobai to have a look!"

Xu Fengni became curious when she heard this, "Xinbai, are you doing this for yourself?"

"Let's take a look ourselves, Aunt Xu. Let's just take a look first. My parents don't know yet." Jiang Xinbai was also speaking the truth. It was still unclear whether to rent it or not!

"Oh, then, let's go and take a look?"

"Sure, thank you Aunt Xu," Jiang Xinbai had just finished speaking when she heard her husband's voice coming from downstairs. She leaned outside and saw that the Yang brothers had all returned, and her sister-in-law Yang Xiumin was standing in the middle with her head hung down.

Seeing this, Jiang Xinbai quickly said, "Aunt Xu, I may not be able to see the house. I have something to do and I have to go downstairs first."

Xu Fengni smiled and nodded, "That's fine, go when you are free."

Downstairs, Sun Erni stood up quickly when she saw them coming back. She was about to say something when she saw the curious guy from the corner of her eye. She paused and asked, "Well, did you catch any fish?"

Yang Jinqiang was stunned, "Mom, I didn't..."

"Mom, I didn't catch any fish. My bait was wasted." Yang Jinsheng reacted quickly. He immediately grabbed his eldest brother and said in a complaining tone.

"Hey, I was wondering why you all looked so downcast, it turns out you went fishing, you guys are so stupid, are those fish that easy to catch? You just wasted your time!"

"That's right. I heard some noises in your house in the middle of the night and wondered what you were doing. It turns out you went fishing. You guys are awesome. You get up in the middle of the night to fish. Do you have to eat this fish?"

Sun Erni's heart tightened slightly when she heard this, and she smiled awkwardly, "We have a baby at home, and he can only have milk if the adults eat well. The seafood store doesn't sell it every day, so I just let them try their luck."

"Yes, look at how well your little treasure is taken care of. Xinbai must have good food. All the uncles, aunts and father have come out to help, but they didn’t bring back a single fish. Little treasure is going to starve!" someone nearby joked with a smile.

"Well, there's no other way. We can only think of other solutions. Okay, I'll go back first. They've stayed up all night, so they should go back and catch up on some sleep." After Sun Erni finished speaking, she glared at Yang Xiumin implicitly and led the way home.

When they got home, Jiang Xinbai immediately took her son from her mother-in-law's arms and whispered, "Mom, I'll take Xiaobao back to the room to sleep."

"Go ahead and close the door so as not to disturb Xiaobao." After saying that, he turned to look at his little daughter with a gloomy expression.

Yang Jinsheng explained while yawning, "Mom, Xiumin was lucky. They were stopped at the train station and not allowed to get on the train. You don't know, there were more than ten of them, all fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest was only twelve. How could the people at the train station dare to let them get on the train! They were stopped at the station, and they were still arguing with the station staff when we arrived!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiumin was still unconvinced and whispered, "They were wrong in the first place. We were told that we were going to the border provinces to lead our fellow villagers to progress together. The ride was free, but they actually asked us for tickets. Isn't that infuriating?"

"The most infuriating thing is you, Yang Xiumin. Don't you think you did anything wrong? Ah, your three brothers ran out to look for you in the middle of the night, and haven't had a sip of water until now. Are you so complacent?" Sun Erni looked at her youngest daughter with disappointment. It was her fault. She was spoiled too much on weekdays. Seeing her third brother looking so tired, she didn't feel ashamed at all.

"Mom, I told you I wanted to go, but you didn't let me go, so I could only go secretly. I didn't want my eldest brother and the others to suffer..." Yang Xiumin's voice gradually lowered as she spoke.

"So you mean it's my fault?" Sun Erni asked angrily.
