As a seasoned novel enthusiast, Wen Shuqiao never expected to catch the transmigration trend herself. The bad news is that she transmigrated into a healing-oriented Long Aotian novel, becoming the ...
When Shen Jiazhou arrived at the community, Wen Shuqiao had already folded their clothes.
When she opened the door and saw a somewhat flustered Shen Jiazhou, she asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Shen Jiazhou didn't speak, and Wen Shuqiao let him go into the house first.
As soon as he entered the room, Can Can got up from the stool, slipped on her plush slippers, and ran over, her eyes red-rimmed, reaching out to Shen Jia Zhou for a hug.
Shen Jiazhou bent down and picked him up. Can Can pouted, cupped Shen Jiazhou's face and looked him over, before burying her face in his shoulder.
He looked like he had been wronged but didn't say anything; anyone who saw him would feel sorry for him.
Wen Shuqiao understood as well, and she said, "Did Cancan call you?"
Shen Jiazhou, supporting Can Can's bottom with one hand and holding his waist with the other, turned his head and asked, "What's going on? Why are you moving all of a sudden?"
He had never heard Wen Shuqiao mention this matter, so something must have happened.
Wen Shuqiao shrugged and said helplessly, "The landlord said his son is getting married and he wants to take this house back as a wedding home. I have to move out tomorrow."
Shen Jiazhou frowned. Although he had never rented a house before, he could tell that this was a breach of contract.
Wen Shuqiao continued, "He said he would compensate me with three months' worth of penalty money, and if I didn't receive the apartment by tomorrow, he would arrange for someone to help me move in."
There are threats both overt and covert.
They probably just thought she was an easy target because she was a young girl with a child.
Wen Shuqiao was still thinking when Cancan turned around and told Shen Jiazhou.
Can Can hugged Shen Jia Zhou's neck tightly and whispered in his ear, "You mean landlord grandpa!"
Shen Jiazhou patted the back of his head, then sat down on the sofa with him in his arms.
Wen Shuqiao poured him a glass of warm water. He thanked her, took the glass, and asked, "Have you thought about how to handle this?"
Wen Shuqiao had suffered from renting before in her past life, but in the end, it always involved pimping and causing a lot of trouble, and she still had to move out. She said, "I'm already looking at houses. I'll go to a hotel tomorrow."
This was all so sudden. Even if she started looking for a house tonight and managed to settle on one, she would still need two days to clean it. When she rented this house before, it took her more than two days to clean it and a long time to ventilate it. It wouldn't matter if she were alone, but with Can Can in the house, she would have to be more meticulous.
Shen Jiazhou thought for a moment: "It's not very convenient for you to take Cancan to the hotel. Also, you have so much stuff, where are you planning to put it?"
This is indeed a problem; if we move everything to the hotel, we'll have to move everything out again later.
This time, unlike her first move, she didn't have much stuff then, and could have moved it all by taking a few buses. But after moving in, her stuff kept piling up, and dealing with it all became a hassle.
Wen Shuqiao pursed her lips: "I remember the moving company has a warehouse where we can store things. I'll contact them to store it for you."
She can just pay more money; she's not like she was when she first transmigrated, penniless after paying rent.
Shen Jiazhou, still holding Cancan, said, "I'm not comfortable with staying in a hotel."
Wen Shuqiao snapped out of her daze and looked at Can Can in his arms. She thought for a moment and said, "Then why don't you take Can Can home for a couple of days? I'll come pick him up after I've moved."
Staying in the children's room prepared by Shen Jiazhou is definitely more comfortable than staying in a hotel.
Besides, Can Can and Shen Jia Zhou have a good relationship now. If you talk to him nicely, he will understand.
Shen Jiazhou wanted to say something, but looking at Wen Shuqiao's expression, he finally nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Can Can lifted his head from Shen Jia Zhou's shoulder and changed his posture. He had heard them talking, but he didn't want to live with his uncle; he wanted to live with his aunt.
The system said: [Clingy little thing, blushing.]
Can Can wasn't in the mood to talk to the system, so she sat in her uncle's lap and sulked.
That annoying landlord! That annoying system!
"...You can curse all you want, but why are you cursing at me?" What, even breathing offends you?
Cancan said: 【We've messed with them!】
But then, after a moment's thought, she added: "System brother, you…"
Before he could speak, the system called a halt: "[There's nothing I can do; I'm just a system, I can't do anything else.]"
What a useless system!
The system ignored him and continued, "[Now that you're living with your uncle, you have to listen to him!]"
Can Can silently got down from her uncle's arms, climbed onto the sofa, and sat on her aunt's lap, pressing her face against her aunt's neck to prevent her uncle from seeing her face, continuing to be angry.
Wen Shuqiao naturally rubbed her chin against the top of his head: "What's wrong, baby?"
Can Can whispered, "Auntie, I still want to live with you."
Wen Shuqiao pulled him out of her arms and said, "Yes, but you have to go to your uncle's house for two days. Once your aunt finds a new home, she will come to pick you up."
Can Can pouted, tears welled up in her eyes, and her nose was red. She remained silent.
Shen Jiazhou handed Wen Shuqiao a tissue, which Wen Shuqiao took and wiped away his tears: "Okay, Auntie promises, Auntie will find a new home soon and come to pick you up, okay?"
Can Can is a sensible child. Even though he was so upset this time, his aunt still didn't budge. It seems like it's a done deal.
Can Can was so angry that he pressed his face against his aunt's neck, preventing his aunt and uncle from seeing his face.
Wen Shuqiao gently comforted him by touching the back of his head, while Shen Jiazhou sat beside her, turning to look at them.
She pursed her lips and said, "I'll pick him up tomorrow."
Wen Shuqiao raised her head and said, "Take him away now. I'll definitely have to deal with the house issue first thing tomorrow morning, and it will disturb Cancan."
“…Okay.” Shen Jiazhou stood up: “Call me if anything happens. It’s getting late, you should get some rest.”
Wen Shuqiao hummed in agreement and patted Cancan's back: "Uncle will carry you, Auntie will go get you a blanket."
Can Can lifted his head from her embrace, tears streaming down his round eyes.
He cried silently. Wen Shuqiao wiped away his tears with her fingertips, somewhat surprised: "Baby, don't cry."
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Can Can burst into tears and cried even harder.
He choked up and said, "Auntie...Auntie, are you not going to have the baby anymore?"
Didn't we agree to stay with the baby forever? How come moving means taking the baby away?
