Although Lin Chuchu didn't want to see her, she couldn't let her keep knocking like that.

She opened the door and asked with a smile.

"Aunt Wang, what brings you here? Is there something you need from my mother? She's not here with me."

If there's nothing else, hurry back; she didn't want to talk to the other person.

Aunt Wang walked in familiarly and placed the basket in Lin Chuchu's hands. "I'm not here to see your mother-in-law. Oh, you two have such a good relationship. I heard your mother often comes over to cook for you?"

Lin Chuchu just smiled and didn't say anything; there were a dozen or so eggs in the basket.

"I think you're about to give birth, right? Keep these eggs for your postpartum period; they'll help with milk production."

As he spoke, he plopped down on the recliner and picked up a watermelon from the side to eat.

They were wolfing down their food, and juice was still dripping from their chins.

After finishing one, he picked up another.

Lin Chuchu frowned as she looked at her, then turned her head away.

"Nowadays, girls are treated like royalty when they get pregnant. It's nothing like back in our day. We were lucky to even get a wilted apple."

"I must say, the watermelon is quite delicious."

"Aunt Wang, what brings you here?"

Aunt Wang casually wiped her mouth and then wiped her hand on her clothes.

His eyes darted around.

“I heard your family is thinking of buying a house in the commercial district? My relative wants to sell their house; it's in a great location with lots of foot traffic.”

Lin Chuchu frowned. "Aunt Wang misunderstood. My family only wants to rent, not buy a house. My family doesn't have that much money."

"You're about to open a shop but still don't have money? We're neighbors, let's help each other out. Let me tell you, my relative's house is big and bright, it's a small two-story house, and it only costs 50,000 yuan. Isn't that cheap?"

Fifty thousand is cheap? Aunt Wang thinks she's being ripped off!

Lin Chuchu's face darkened. "Aunt Wang, my family is just renting a house. Besides, houses aren't that expensive these days. My family isn't buying, and we've already decided which company to rent from. Please leave."

"Why are you being unreasonable, little girl? I'm just trying to be helpful. It doesn't matter whose house you rent from, isn't it perfect to rent from my relative?"

Lin Chuchu rolled her eyes, put the basket in the other woman's arms, and pulled the door shut. "Aunt Wang, my family isn't a sucker. We can't afford a house for 50,000. Take your things and leave."

Lin Chuchu spoke without any politeness, and there were quite a few women watching the commotion outside.

Aunt Wang was unhappy.

"How can you be so rude, little girl? I'm your elder, how can you chase away an elder? I'll stay here today and wait for your mother to come back so I can talk to her."

"As expected of capitalists, they kick people out at the drop of a hat. Be careful, or I'll sue you for fleecing socialism."

Lin Chuchu was furious and saw a broom nearby, so she directly hit Aunt Wang with it.

"Go ahead and sue! Your relative's dilapidated house sold for 50,000! I'm suing you for extortion! How dare you sell a house at such an exorbitant price? Who gave you this special privilege? My business is permitted by the state."

She didn't dare to actually hit the other person; she just poked at their heels.

Aunt Wang was still chased out by her, and she stood at the gate cursing loudly.

Lin Chuchu stood at the door with her hands on her hips. "Trying to force a sale? Let me tell you, this is the new China. Your bandit-like methods are no longer acceptable. I can't afford your house, and I won't buy it."

"Go ahead and sue me if you want."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

Aunt Wang then jumped up and said, "Lin Chuchu, you just wait! I'll report you right now and make sure you and your boyfriend go to jail."

Someone standing nearby couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for Lin Chuchu.

"They never intended to buy a house. Are you trying to force them to buy? Be careful, or you'll end up in jail."

"Besides, you think you can just sue Lin Chuchu like that? The fact that she was able to get sole proprietorship rights means she has connections and power. Why would you, a mere commoner, provoke her?"

Aunt Wang's eyes darted around. "I always said Lin Chuchu was a vixen. Maybe she's having some improper dealings with someone. No way, I'm going to report her for moral problems. I want her demoted."

Everyone rolled their eyes. "Do you think this is two years ago? If you don't have evidence, be careful someone might countersue you for defamation. Have you forgotten what happened recently?"

A woman who used to be a Red Guard, who used to be very bossy, couldn't stand the change after the Red Guards were disbanded. She started keeping an eye on other people's affairs and once went to the police station to report a young man.

The young man knew the law and immediately countersued the woman for false accusation. The woman spent a month in prison and was almost driven mad when she came out.

A flicker of fear crossed Aunt Wang's eyes.

The crowd continued to persuade them, "Lin Chuchu and her husband, one is from Qingdao University and the other is from the Public Security University. A few days ago, they even brought back a plaque recognizing them as a family of first-class merit."

"Who gets a first-class merit? They're all ruthless people, and they're still alive. Won't they get promoted and make a fortune? Don't offend people unnecessarily."

The people who said this spoke very softly; they were only advising Aunt Wang out of consideration for their neighborly relationship.

Aunt Wang finally realized what was going on and dared not make a scene any longer, so she could only slink home.

When he got home, he even scolded Lin Chuchu for being a heartless person.

Lin Chuchu threw away the remaining pieces of watermelon, since the watermelon rinds that Aunt Wang had eaten were still inside.

Lin Chuchu felt disgusted at the sight of a watermelon smeared with a stranger's saliva.

When Mu's mother, who was busy outside, returned home and heard that her daughter-in-law had been bullied, she didn't even eat. Instead, she picked up a rolling pin and rushed to Aunt Wang's house.

The gate wasn't locked. Aunt Wang liked to visit other people's homes, and she was thinking of going out for a stroll after dinner and maybe grabbing some good food.
