After the two entered, Lin Jingyan led her to the left. Su He's house was the west wing next to the main house.

The reason it's described as two rooms is because they were also given a small room next to the west wing.

Upon arrival, Su He quickly pushed open the door and went inside to take a look, finding that the house was actually quite nice.

Although side rooms were usually occupied by maids in ancient times, those who could live next to their masters were senior maids, so the rooms were not small, about 15 square meters. Adding the smaller room of about 5 or 6 square meters, their two rooms totaled about 20 square meters.

In Beijing, where land is incredibly expensive, it's quite remarkable that they have such a large house in such a crowded courtyard.

Moreover, their house is on a corner, with a side room connecting to the main house, a small room connecting to the west wing, and the wall only two meters away from the window behind the side room. So the open space from the window to the wall is actually theirs.

Su He looked to the side and saw that the family in the main house had already occupied the open space behind them, filled it with a bunch of things, and even built a shed to block it, probably to use it as a storage room.

Su He didn't intend to waste the opportunity. She had just checked and found that a small door could be opened up here to build a washroom. That would make washing up more convenient in the future. After all, although you can wash your face at the tap outside, you still need to take a shower at home.

Afterwards, she looked at the house again, inside and out, and became more and more satisfied with it, secretly thinking about the plans.

However, Lin Jingyan had been frowning ever since he came in.

After thinking it over, I couldn't help but ask, "What do you think of this place? If you don't like it, can we wait a bit? Or maybe you can move in with me first?"

Su He looked at him in surprise upon hearing this, "Why would you think that? I'm not dissatisfied."

"Really? But this room is too small, and it looks quite noisy. Can you handle it?"

Su He smiled. "Don't worry, my room in the countryside is even smaller than this. What's there to be uncomfortable about? You, on the other hand, are probably not used to it."

Lin Jingyan shook his head. "I don't really feel anything. As long as I have a place to sleep, that's fine."

Su He was relieved to hear this. "Then stay here. We've already told your mother we won't go back to stay here. It wouldn't be good to go back on our word now, as it would disturb their time together."

Lin Jingyan smiled and shook his head. "It's not my mom, it's our mom! But it's not that Mom doesn't like being disturbed, it's probably because of her past experiences."

When my mother first married my father, she lived with my grandmother and her family. However, my grandmother was quite picky, and my mother suffered a lot during those years.

It's probably because he was always angry and kept it bottled up that his heart wasn't very good. Then one time, he made my mom sick from anger, and my dad finally couldn't take it anymore and broke up with his family.

Although the family eventually separated, they were no longer very close to each other, and they would only go back to visit during holidays.

My mom probably didn't want you to go through these things, so she said that on her own initiative.

Actually, she had thought this for a long time; she had told me and my older brother before.

Su He felt a pang of sympathy upon hearing this. She hadn't expected that even her mother-in-law, with her good temper, could be made sick by such words. Just how demanding must her grandmother be?

Fortunately, she doesn't have to face it.

"Mom is overthinking it. She's been through it herself, so she definitely won't blame me."

Lin Jingyan smiled, "That's what she said, but she was afraid you'd feel uncomfortable."

That's true; that's why she was afraid of getting married before.
