Chapter 154: Rushing to Pay

When Ying Yuan was dragged home, he did not receive any comfort from Aunt Ying, but was instead severely scolded by her.

"You bitch, what did I tell you to do? Stay away from that guy named Lin."

"You're so good at rushing to throw yourself at me. It's really shameful for our Ying family to have a daughter like you."

"Go on a blind date tomorrow and get married as soon as possible."

…

Ying Yuan felt pain all over his body from being pinched by Su Nanzhi, and when he heard what Aunt Ying said, he instantly felt unwell.

"If you want to go, go by yourself. I'm not going."

"Our Ying family's reputation has long been lost to Ying Fang. What does it have to do with me?"

"You are biased towards boys."

As she spoke, Ying Yuan burst into tears again.

Aunt Ying didn't expect Ying Yuan to say that. She wanted to teach her a lesson, but when she saw her crying miserably, her nose felt sore.

She became a widow at a young age and went through so much hardship to raise Ying Fang and Ying Yuan, a brother and sister. Her son blamed her for being useless, and her daughter thought she was biased towards boys.

But nowadays, every family favors sons. She is much better off than those families who marry their daughters off casually and use the betrothal gifts to subsidize their sons.

She wiped her tears and said to Ying Yuan, "Think about it carefully. If you can't figure it out, don't eat."

After saying that, she slammed the door and went out to continue pasting paper boxes.

Ying Yuan looked at the closed door and his eyes flickered a few times.

Qisheng walked towards the cabinet and took out a paper package from the innermost part.

Holding the paper bag in his hand, Ying Yuan's face was full of determination.

She wants to leave this house!

***

Ever since Su Nanzhi moved into the Su family's old house, Huang Baogui's family couldn't stand her coughing at night and causing trouble during the day after living there for a few days, so they ran back to the Lu family to stay.

However, although Huang Baogui no longer lives in the Su family's old house, he still goes home from time to time.

After Huang Baogui and his family returned to the Lu family, Su Nanzhi naturally threw away all the Huang family's things in the main house and kitchen.

"Su Nanzhi, what do you mean?"

Huang Baogui realized something was wrong the moment he returned home. He didn't care about anything else at this moment and questioned Su Nanzhi who was sitting in the main room eating lunch.

Su Nanzhi looked calm, "What's wrong?"

"You touched things in my kitchen and living room, and you asked me what was wrong?"

Although Huang Baogui knew that Su Nanzhi would mess around with public areas such as the living room and kitchen when he was not at home, he never expected that Su Nanzhi would do it so thoroughly.

His family spent a lot of money on the kettle and iron pot that they had just bought.

Now they are all gone.

"Director Huang, please be more precise with your words. This isn't your kitchen or your living room." Su Nanzhi put down her chopsticks with a serious look on her face. "Although you have the rental contract from that idiotic landlord, he doesn't have the purchase agreement with my father's stamp, nor does he have the property title deed. He's a thief who stole my house."

"You, Mr. Liu, and Mrs. Ying can barely be considered accomplices."

"I allow you to live in my old house out of kindness."

After Su Nanzhi asked Huang Baogui for the rental contract, Huang Baogui quickly "found" it the next day.

However, the landlord was not in Zhoushan County, and Su Nanzhi couldn't find anyone to confront him.

Fortunately, Su Nanzhi had anticipated this situation long ago. Although no one had a house deed, everyone in Baihua Lane knew that this courtyard was the old house of her Su family, so she had more legitimacy.

Huang Baogui didn't expect that Su Nanzhi, who was so young, could be so difficult to deal with. His eyes were frozen as he looked at her.

"Su Nanzhi, stop talking nonsense when you have no evidence. Your father has sold this house. When the landlord finds the title deed, you'll be out of here."

"And even if this house is really your Su family's, you have no right to take my things."

"compensation."

Su Nanzhi rolled her eyes without any dignity, "Wait until you take out the property deeds first."

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to Huang Baogui, picked up his finished bowl and chopsticks and walked towards the patio in the yard.

The main room was open, and Huang Baogui and Su Nanzhi did not lower their voices when they talked, so several people in the yard could hear it.

Huang Baogui came back from time to time, firstly because he was worried that things were lost at home, and secondly, of course, to monitor whether people living here like Uncle Liu and Aunt Ying were bullying Su Nanzhi.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Ying also knew what Huang Baogui meant, so every time Huang Baogui came to the old house, the two would start their performance.

Uncle Liu spoke first, "It's really uncultured to touch other people's things casually."

Aunt Ying echoed, "No wonder I can't find the change I left on the table yesterday. I don't know if it was stolen."

After the confrontations over the past few days, Su Nanzhi has discovered that Uncle Liu and Aunt Ying are good at talking, but when it comes to physical violence, because of her seriously ill person status, the two really don't dare to do it, for fear that she will blackmail them.

Fortunately, the weather was hot and Su Nanzhi didn't want to move. There was no need to make a big fuss about things that could be solved with just words.

"That's right, I don't have any upbringing. In the whole yard, only your Uncle Liu has upbringing. The grass on your parents' graves is taller than two of us, right?"

"As the saying goes, it's hard to guard against thieves in your own home. Aunt Ying, you have two thieves in your house. Isn't it normal for money to be stolen?"

"Sometimes you should look for the reasons within yourself and stop barking at everyone you see like a mad dog."

After saying that, Su Nanzhi ignored the two men's dark faces and started washing the dishes.

Huang Baogui: That’s it?

I thought the two of them could help me vent my anger, but after Su Nanzhi said a few words to me, they just shrank aside and kept silent.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Ying felt a little guilty when Huang Baogui glared at them, but they had not gained any advantage over Su Nanzhi during this period, so they were really a little afraid to provoke Su Nanzhi.

At this moment, the two of them lowered their heads tacitly, pretending that they didn't see Huang Baogui's angry stare.

Huang Baogui cursed in his heart.

The next second, his eyes lit up.

Gu Xizhou came out of the room carrying a washbasin, looking like he was going to take a shower.

Gu Xizhou heard the noise outside the yard while he was in the room. As soon as he came out of the room, he noticed the excited look in Huang Baogui's eyes.

Thinking of the mission he came here for, Gu Xizhou lowered his eyes. He passed by Su Nanzhi and kicked the basin Su Nanzhi was using to wash dishes a few steps away.

The water in the enamel basin shook violently, splashing water all over Su Nanzhi's face.

"Don't leave your stuff lying around."

After Gu Xizhou said this rogue remark, and saw Su Nanzhi's wet face, he suppressed the panic in his heart and strode towards the bathroom separated by wooden boards.

Su Nanzhi probably hates him even more now.

Su Nanzhi wiped the water off her face and looked at Gu Xizhou's back as he turned around. Although she knew that Gu Xizhou was doing this to complete his "mission", anger still rose in her heart.

Without thinking, she picked up the basin of water beside her and poured it towards Gu Xizhou.

As a military king, Gu Xizhou was naturally able to sense the movement behind him, but he did not react at all, and the dishwashing water poured over his head.

"Walk carefully."

Su Nanzhi held the washbasin and looked at Gu Xizhou, who was soaked all over, with an expressionless face.

Her actions instantly dropped the atmosphere in the yard to freezing point.

Although Gu Xizhou would not cause trouble in the yard, they were still a little scared when they saw Gu Xizhou's cold face. They did not expect that Su Nanzhi would dare to confront Gu Xizhou.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Ying looked at the scene with sympathy, wondering when they would stop Su Nanzhi if she was beaten by Gu Xizhou.

As for Huang Baogui, his face was filled with excitement, and he just wished that Gu Xizhou could kill Su Nanzhi with one punch.

Gu Xizhou wiped his face, he was not angry about Su Nanzhi's behavior, but considering that Huang Baogui was staring at him, he could only frown.

"Su Nanzhi, you're going to die."

The weather was very hot in the summer, and Su Nanzhi's face, which had just been wet, had dried up long ago. She only reacted when she heard Gu Xizhou's low voice.

But she didn't regret it. She just stared at Gu Xizhou and said, "What? You still want to beat me to death?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Nanzhi felt her wrist tighten and she was suddenly pulled over by Gu Xizhou.

Her back was pressed hard against the wall, and inertia made her close her eyes subconsciously, but the expected pain did not come.

Gu Xizhou's palm firmly protected the back of her head, his knuckles pressed against the wall, his strength restrained yet with a force that left no room for escape.

His movements were clearly gentle, but his voice was as cold as ice.

"Then let's see how many punches you can take from me."

Su Nanzhi frowned slightly, and before she could react, Gu Xizhou's fist was already coming straight towards her face with the sound of wind.

She was so frightened that her breathing stopped for a moment.
