After lunch, Fang Qiao fed Chuan Chuan and Yue Yue, then cuddled An An and took a nap with the three children.

During this time, Wang Yun went to the new house in the back, thinking that he should clean the house inside and out first, so that when Gao Ping came back, he could start painting and then move the furniture in, saving a few more days of cleaning.

She brought a broom and dustpan from Fang Qiao's house and tidied up the clutter in the house little by little.

She had been busy for over an hour, covered in dust, when suddenly a voice came from outside the door.

"Hey, isn't there an empty yard here? Why would they rather leave it empty than give it to our family?"

The half-closed courtyard gate creaked open from the outside, and Li Dan entered without permission.

Accompanying her was a woman of similar age, who didn't come in but whispered a reminder: "Li Dan, this isn't an empty courtyard. It was allocated to someone else a week ago. Let's not go in, let's go."

"A week ago?" Li Dan curled her lip, ignoring her companion's words, and went deeper inside: "That's not as early as ours. My old Liu has been running around trying to get a house with a yard since the third day of the Lunar New Year, but the logistics department kept making excuses and insisted that there were no vacant yards. They're full of lies, they just don't want to live with us!"

The woman had no choice but to follow her in. As soon as she turned her head and saw dust in the house, she realized that someone was cleaning inside. She quickly reached out and grabbed Li Dan's arm: "Li Dan, there are people in the yard, let's go."

"I'm not leaving. I'm going to see who got this house. If it's someone of a higher rank than my husband, fine. But if it's someone of a lower rank, I'm going to go and complain to the factory leaders! Otherwise, why doesn't my husband, a director, have a courtyard to live in?" Li Dan said fiercely.

Wang Yun sensed that she was up to no good and was not someone to be trifled with, so he picked up a broom and came out of the house.

When Li Dan saw her face, she was startled: "You, you're Fang Qiao's friend? Your name is, your name is Wang Yun?"

She had seen this person come out of Fang Qiao's house when she lived next door to Fang Qiao a few years ago.

"It's me." Wang Yun nodded in acknowledgment. "Is there something you need?"

Li Dan's gaze fell on the broom in Wang Yun's hand, both surprised and angry: "What are you doing here?"

Wang Yun said matter-of-factly, "This is my home, of course I'm here."

Li Dan didn't believe it: "You're not an employee of the pharmaceutical factory."

Wang Yun replied directly, "You're not either."

Li Dan's breathing hitched slightly, but she quickly took a breath and continued, "But my husband works at a pharmaceutical factory."

"Me too, my wife is too." Wang Yun had never addressed Gao Ping so intimately before, and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"Who is your spouse?" Li Dan asked, her mind racing. Who among the factory's directors and above was single? Who had Fang Qiao introduced this woman to at the factory?

However, all the employees at the director level and above in the factory are married; there are no single employees at all.

Li Dan thought and thought, but couldn't find any clues.

"Who my lover is is none of your business!" Wang Yun already knew what Li Dan had done from Fang Qiao, and her impression of her was extremely bad, so her tone was naturally not calm.

Li Dan was about to lose her temper when the person accompanying her immediately stepped in front of her and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Calm down, calm down, talk things out, there's nothing to argue about."

"You must be Comrade Wang Yun? Is your wife Gao Ping, Director Cheng's bodyguard?"

Wang Yun: "How did you know?"

The woman smiled and said, "My house is the first one at the entrance of the alley. Last week, I saw the logistics staff bring Comrade Gao Ping to recognize the house."

Wang Yun nodded slightly: "Then we'll be neighbors from now on. How should I address you, sister-in-law?"

"My name is Xia Hehua, and my husband is Lin Jiandong, the director of the third workshop. You can just call me Sister-in-law Hehua."

Xia Hehua's words were more agreeable than Li Dan's, and Wang Yun had a good impression of her, so he greeted her with a smile as "Sister-in-law Hehua."

Seeing that the two of them were chatting instead, Li Dan was furious, feeling betrayed by her friends.

She immediately started picking a fight: "Since when can a guard be allocated a house with a yard? Did he get it through connections?"

Wang Yun's smile vanished instantly. She threw the broom on the ground and said coldly, "The house was allocated by the work unit. If you feel it's unfair, go find the unit's leaders to resolve it if you have evidence. If you don't have evidence, stop being sarcastic in front of me. My husband and I will not accept this unfounded slander against you."

“I’m not slandering you. A guard should only be allocated a single-story house at most when he gets married, but you two have taken up two suites with a yard. There’s obviously something wrong with that!” Li Dan pouted.

"I'll say it again, if you think there's a problem, go find the factory leaders, stop nagging me." Wang Yun rolled his eyes speechlessly and started to shoo people away: "Get out, get out, don't stand in my yard, you'll only make my land dirty."

Wang Yun was sharp-tongued, which infuriated Li Dan: "You!"

Summer lotus flowers quickly maneuvered among them.

She gave Wang Yun an apologetic look, then began to coax Li Dan: "Li Dan, Li Dan, don't be angry, don't be angry. Young people don't know how to talk, don't take it to heart. Let's go back quickly, your daughter is still at home, don't cry if she can't find her mother when she wakes up."

"She's just a little girl, so what if she cries? What's the rush?" Li Dan muttered as Xia Hehua forcibly dragged her away.

After the two left, Wang Yun lost the mood to clean. She picked up the broom that had been thrown on the ground, took the dustpan, locked the door, and went back to Fang Qiao's house.

Fang Qiao had woken up from her afternoon nap and was sitting outside the main room basking in the sun.

She looked unwell, and Fang Qiao noticed it as soon as she entered the room.

Fang Qiao asked her worriedly, "Xiao Yun, what's wrong?"

"I ran into your former neighbor, Li Dan." Wang Yun told Fang Qiao everything that had just happened.

Fang Qiao almost laughed out of anger when she heard this from Li Dan.

The factory leaders are tolerant and kind, but unfortunately some people are too ungrateful!

Making a mistake and not knowing how to behave properly, they really want to die sooner!

Since that's the case, then I'll grant your wish!
