Chapter 111 Troops

In the next few days, Jiang Yule accompanied Meng Wanshu and Li Sisi to travel around and collect houses.

The day after receiving the house, Meng Wanshu's father showed up at the Beijing Railway Station with Kang Yan, but this time Jiang Yule did not drive to pick them up, and did not even show up at the railway station.

According to Meng Wanshu, if her father knew that Jiang Yule was so well-off, he might try to take advantage of her and be lazy. It would be better for him to know nothing.

At the entrance of the train station, Meng Wanshu met his father and Kang Yan, and resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "Dad, I'll take you to the house I bought, but I don't live there, and there's nothing in the house. If you need anything, you'll have to buy it yourself."

"Okay, Kang Yan's stuff has also been sent from the village. It will probably arrive in the next two days. Just put some of it together and everything will be complete when we get the package."

Kang Yan pouted when she heard this. It was really unfair that Meng Wanshu could buy a house but she couldn't even buy some new bedding. But she was a stepdaughter after all. Her mother could do whatever she wanted because of her belly, but she couldn't. She could only say reluctantly.

"Yeah, my stuff will be arriving soon. If it doesn't arrive, I'll just make do with it."

"I don't care whether you can make it or not. If you can't, just sleep on the wooden bed. It's your business whether you can make do with it or not. Who can tell me?" Meng Wanshu said to her unhappily, looking at Kang Yan with disgust. I don't know if she was scared by Nie Xiangdie, why did she learn this disgusting and aggrieved look.

Kang Yan felt even more aggrieved when she heard what Meng Wanshu said. She couldn't help but retort, "How can you say that? I just said I would make do, and I didn't say anything excessive."

Meng Wanshu snorted coldly and said, "Don't act pitiful in front of me. I won't fall for it."

Tears welled up in Kang Yan's eyes. She looked at Father Meng, hoping he could say something for her.

Father Meng felt sorry for Kang Yan when he saw her aggrieved look. He said to Meng Wanshu, "Wanshu, don't say that about Kang Yan. She is also a good child."

Meng Wanshu became even angrier when she heard what her father said. "Dad, how can you speak for her? Don't you know who she is? Have you not heard what has been reported back from the village over the years?"

Father Meng sighed helplessly, "Wanshu, I know you have a problem with Kang Yan, but she is your aunt's daughter after all. We have to live together. You will at least have someone to take care of you in the capital."

Meng Wanshu felt even more aggrieved when she heard what her father said. "Dad, how can you say that? I am your biological daughter. What's more, I have my own good friends. I won't take care of her."

Father Meng felt very embarrassed when he saw Meng Wanshu's sad look. He didn't want to continue the topic, so he took the initiative to ask, "Wanshu, are you living with your friend now? Is it far from the house you bought?"

Meng Wanshu was silent for a while, and did not continue to be angry with her father. "Yuan, her family lives in the city center. I don't have that much money, so I bought a house in the suburbs."

Kang Yan was relieved to see Meng Wanshu stop talking, but when she heard that the house was in the suburbs, her heart was lifted again, "Will it be inconvenient in the suburbs?"

Meng Wanshu ignored her and just walked in front silently. Meng's father and Kang Yan followed behind her without saying a word. After a long time, Meng's father asked tentatively, "Wanshu, it's not safe for a girl like Kang Yan to live alone. Can you let one more person live at your friend's place? Dad will pay for the rent."

Meng Wanshu laughed sarcastically and looked at Kang Yan, "Dad, I live in Jiang Yule's house. Do you think they would rent their house to someone who insults their parents as soon as they meet?"

"What do you mean?" Father Meng turned around and glanced at Kang Yan. Seeing that she was avoiding his gaze, he knew that something was wrong. "Wanshu, what's going on?"

"Dad, you know that Kang Yan was arrested by the police and detained for a few days just after she arrived in the countryside. It was because of this incident. Yule's biological parents are martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country. Kang Yan scolded their parents without any reason. Who can tolerate this? Now you want me to ask Yule to rent a house? I can't say this. If you think it's possible, then go ahead and ask." Meng Wanshu spread his hands, as if if you dare to nod, I dare to take you to see Jiang Yule.

But Meng's father was too embarrassed to speak up about this matter, and Kang Yan was too brave to speak up.

This is the capital, Jiang Yule's territory, not to mention that there is also Mu Chuan. If the other party wants to punish her, there are many ways to do it.

With this incident in mind, Father Meng couldn't say anything and could only follow Meng Wanshu to the house in the suburbs.

When they got home, Meng Wanshu handed the key to his father. Looking at the empty house, his father let out a long sigh and said, "You guys clean up the house first. I'll go buy some things."

"Dad, I'll go with you." Meng Wanshu looked at his father's arm and walked out the door, leaving Kang Yan alone in the house. Thinking of the muddy road just now and the quarrel next door, which she could hear very clearly from here, Kang Yan threw the rag in her hand on the ground and stomped her feet in anger.

"The guy upstairs, why are you stomping your feet in the middle of the day? If you don't sleep, no one else will either?" The sudden scolding scared Kang Yan so much that she picked up the rag on the ground and wiped the cabinet with grievance.

While cleaning the cabinet, Kang Yan muttered quietly, "This broken house has nothing in it. How can I live in it? It's not as good as the houses in the village."

Her words were heard by Meng Wanshu who came back from outside to get something. Meng Wanshu pushed the door open, looked at Kang Yan and said, "If you don't like this place, you can go back. No one is stopping you."

Kang Yan looked at Meng Wanshu, a trace of resentment flashing in her eyes, "It was my father who asked me to live here!"

Meng Wanshu smiled, "Dad? You'd better find out whose dad that is. My dad asked you to live here, and I agreed because I didn't want him to be embarrassed. But you have no right to complain. I bought this house, and I can let whoever I want live here. If you think it's not good, you can just leave now. I didn't beg you to live here."
