Nanqu remembers seeing a washing machine when she went to check out the surroundings earlier. She just doesn't know if it's still working.

Because she had so little time, Nanqu decided to give it a try first.

However, to Nan Qu's surprise, the washing machine was fine, but the power cord in her house couldn't hold up, and the wiring burned out before the clothes were even washed.

Shang Qu was speechless for a moment.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the money to hire someone to fix it.

I could only sigh and obediently sit there and wash my hands.

Because these things were so dirty, Shang Qu washed them several times before they were clean.

However, just as Nan Qu finished washing the sheets and blankets, hung them out to dry, and started cleaning and moving things out little by little, she discovered that there were actually clean sheets and blankets in the original owner's parents' trunk, and even new quilts.

Good heavens, all that effort she put in amounted to nothing!

If there's a new one, why would anyone build an old one?

However, with the new smell of mothballs and the clothesline already covered with clothes, I couldn't just leave it.

So, Nanqu simply left it outside until the house was tidied up.

After Nanqu and Xiao Nanxing moved all the things out of the house, Nanqu started to dismantle the roof.

The ceiling is almost completely collapsed; if another piece were to fall, it could hit someone on the head. It's better to just tear it all down.

Now, even the old, worn-out bed at home has been taken out by Shang Qu. Leaving aside the one-bedroom apartment at the store, this place is also just a one-bedroom apartment.

She had already removed everything from inside. Instead of cleaning, Nan Qu went to the roof of the bungalow. There was a brick staircase leading to the roof; although some bricks were loose, it didn't prevent her from climbing up.

After Nanqu moved into the bungalow, she cleared away the weeds. She couldn't sprinkle pesticide powder here because she was worried that a gust of wind would blow the powder to the neighbor's house and cause trouble.

So, Shang Qu could only bring a large bag she found at home to put the trash in and take it downstairs later. Looking at the potholes on the roof, Nan Qu knew that repairing the roof would be a huge project in the future, so she could only pretend not to see it for now.

Once downstairs, Nanqu began to meticulously clean the entire place, inside and out, leaving no corner untouched.

After sweeping, Nanqu looked at the hole in the roof through which the sky could be seen outside. This thing, if it wasn't plugged up, would definitely leak in the future.

Nan Qu had inspected it; the gaps were all between the stone slabs, and the repair work would be quite extensive. At least for now, she didn't have the money to fix it.

Now, Nanqu can only hope that it won't rain in the next few days so she can earn some money and get by.

Nan Qu sighed. Never mind, let's move the things back first.

There are certain rules to follow when moving things.

Shang Qu first placed the bed in a spot that clearly hadn't leaked when it rained, so that if it rained, at least there would be a place to sleep.

At worst, it'll just be heavy rain outside and light rain inside.

Before installing the bed, Shang Qu carried out some repairs to make sure it wouldn't collapse under the weight before moving it inside.

Next was an old cabinet and two wooden boxes.

These were all placed in areas where there were no leaks. Fortunately, the leak was in the middle of the house, and the areas against the wall were dry.

It wasn't until Shang Qu had moved the things back that he realized it was already past 3 p.m.

Nanxing stayed by her side the whole time, busy with her, and never once complained of being hungry.

Nan Qu couldn't help but feel sorry for him: "It's already three o'clock, don't you feel hungry?"

To everyone's surprise, Nanxing was very happy. He shook his head at Nanqu and said, "I'm not hungry, Mom. Is this our home? Will we never be kicked out again?"

Nan Qu felt even more distressed upon hearing this: "Yes, no one can kick us out anymore. Sweetie, Mommy will go get you something to eat. Nanxing has already helped Mommy so much, so just sit here and wait for Mommy, okay?"

Unexpectedly, Nanxing said, "Mom, I'm not hungry. I can go without eating."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Qu heard his stomach growl. Nan Qu instantly understood that he knew the family was out of money, which was why he said he wasn't hungry.

"Don't worry, Mom will get you something to eat, don't worry!"

After saying that, Nan Qu went to the kitchen. Looking at the empty kitchen, Nan Qu was a little troubled. Just as she was thinking about whether to go to her space to see what she could eat, or if all else failed, drink glucose, her phone suddenly rang.

Nan Qu was stunned when she saw the person on the caller ID, because she knew from her memories that this person was the original owner's former manager.

The agent strongly opposed the original owner giving up her career for love, but the original owner was grasping at straws and wouldn't listen.

Now that she's fallen on hard times, it's unexpected that the only person she's in contact with is her.

Thinking of her hungry son, Nan Qu gritted her teeth. What was the point of saving face compared to food?

"Hey, Sister Xiao."

Hearing Nan Qu's voice, the person on the other end of the phone couldn't help but start nagging: "What did I tell you? I said those rich kids are never easy to get along with. You gave up such a great opportunity back then. Do you know that if you had listened to me, you'd at least be a second or third-tier celebrity now? Look at you now..."

Upon hearing the phone notification that her phone was low on battery, Nan Qu quickly said, "Um, Sister Xiao, could you lend me two hundred yuan? Don't worry, I'll pay you back as soon as I earn the money!"

Nan Qu's words silenced Xiao Ya, who had been furious with her.

Nan Qu assumed Xiao Ya was unwilling, but Ran He smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, Sister Xiao, it's okay if you don't have money. The fact that you called me shows that you..."

"Ding-dong"

Before Nan Qu could finish speaking, Xiao Ya said, "I've transferred 30,000 to your card. Use it for now. There are limits on mobile transfers, so I'll transfer it to you again tomorrow."

Nan Qu quickly stopped her, saying, "No need, it's too much, I'm worried I won't be able to pay it back, thank you..."

Nan Qu's phone was switched off before she could finish speaking.

Nan Qu looked at her phone and shrugged helplessly. She had just heard Xiao Ya say that she had transferred money to her card, and Nan Qu knew that the card Xiao Ya was referring to was probably the original owner's old bank card.

Thinking of this, Nanqu immediately went to find her bank card.

This bank card was her old salary card; it was her own. Because there was no money in the card, the Gu family didn't hold onto it and didn't give it to her.

Nan Qu returned to the room and couldn't help but laugh when she saw the dirty Nan Xing: "Come on, Mom has money now. Let's go wash up first, and then go get the money for dinner."

Seeing how happy Nan Qu was, Nan Xing immediately nodded: "Mm!"

Nan Qu took the bank card to a nearby bank and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the amount of 30,001 on the card.

This money helped her a lot.
