Plain and short-lived Jiang Shushu died six hours earlier than fated, all thanks to a drop of virgin boy's urine from the King of Hell's son.
To compensate, the King of Hell offered J...
"No problem. I'll be there around 8 o'clock tomorrow. Is that okay with you?"
"OK."
As soon as Jiang Shushu got to work, she explained the moving situation to Zheng Dayong. Zheng Dayong happily let Jiang Shushu take two days off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow so that she could take care of all the moving matters.
When Jiang Shushu got home from get off work that night, right after dinner, he took out his property deed and put it on the table. "Dad, Mom, let me tell you something. I bought a house a while ago, but I didn't tell you because the family hadn't joined the army yet and needed to live there. Tomorrow, the family will take the train to join the army, so the house will be vacated tomorrow. I have two days off, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I'll clean up the house by then and we can move in. Isn't the rice harvested the day after tomorrow? Do you want to come with me to look at the house tomorrow?"
"Really...really bought it? Let me see." Jiang He reached out and took the property certificate, looking left and right, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became. "Okay, okay, okay."
"Old man, let me see it. I've never seen what a property ownership certificate looks like." Xu Hehua took the property ownership certificate and looked at it, then said with a smile, "My daughter is really capable."
"The house is on Jianshe Street, only a 15-minute walk from where I work. It's not far, and it has two bedrooms and a living room. You can go and take a look tomorrow, get acquainted with the house, and decorate your room. When you are free and don't want to go to work, you can come and live in the city." The two of them have an unavoidable responsibility. It is their duty to reserve a room for the elderly. Even if they don't live there temporarily, they have to keep it for them, and they have to let them know so that the elderly can feel at ease and they can explain to the judge.
When Jiang He and his wife heard that Jiang Shushu had specially reserved a room for them, they were stunned at first and couldn't believe it. Then they laughed so happily that only slits remained in their eyes.
Early the next morning, after the family had breakfast, Jiang He and his wife put on their best clothes and followed Jiang Shushu to the city with a smile.
Jiang Shushu brought Jiang He and his wife to their new home. At this time, Mrs. Zhao had already packed everything.
"Hello, Sister Zhao, this is my parents."
Mrs. Zhao: “…” I thought it was your grandparents and almost shouted out loud. Fortunately, I didn’t say anything, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
Zhao's three sons: "..." Why are this sister's parents so old? Should we call them uncle and aunt? Or grandpa and grandma? It's so difficult.
Mrs. Zhao said: "Hello, uncle and aunt." Then she lowered her head and said to her sons: "Hello, grandpa and grandma."
"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma."
Jiang He and his wife smiled and said, "Hello."
Xu Hehua stuffed a large bag of dried fruit into Mrs. Zhao's hands and said, "Xiao Zhao, these are the dried lychees and longans I dried this summer. They're a snack for the kids."
"Thank you, auntie."
When they heard it was a snack, the three children said in unison, "Thank you, grandma," without Zhao's sister-in-law calling them.
"Haha... No need to thank me, no need to thank me, you three kids are growing up so well..." Xu Hehua was so fond of seeing three such well-behaved children that she pulled them and praised them over and over again, making the three children laugh.
"Xiao Jiang, I've packed it up, come in and take a look."
"Okay." Jiang Shushu took a quick look and found that there was nothing wrong with the house. The promised bed and furniture were all there and not damaged.
After Jiang Shushu confirmed that there was no problem, both parties took out the original agreement and signed it.
Mrs. Zhao took a deep look at the house where she had lived for so many years, with reluctance in her eyes.
After they chatted for a while, a carriage arrived at the door and two tall and strong men walked in.
It turned out that Mrs. Zhao's husband was on a mission and had no time to come back to pick her up, so he asked his comrade on leave to take a detour to pick her up.
Jiang Shushu and his family helped move Zhao Saozi's luggage onto the carriage, and then said goodbye to Zhao Saozi and her family.
After Mrs. Zhao and her family left, Jiang He and his wife walked around the house carefully and looked at it more and more.
Jiang He pulled Jiang Shushu aside and whispered, "Girl, how much did such a nice house cost?" His daughter had at most 400 yuan on her. He was not an old woman who had never seen the world. He could not buy such a nice house for 400 yuan.
Honestly, forget it, or say less, "It cost 600 yuan."
Jiang He frowned and said, "Where did you get so much money? You used the money from selling the gold bars last time to buy us medicine and so much food. At most, you only have a little over 400 left."
"I told you not to get excited and don't tell mom, so she won't worry." Jiang Shushu planned to explain his speculation to Jiang He, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat or dress better in the future, because even if the salary was good, the tickets were not good enough.
Jiang He was very nervous, "Okay, tell me."
"I recently helped a classmate sell watches. I get a 10 yuan commission for each watch sold. For safety reasons, I screen the sellers, so sales are quite slow. But I can still sell at least one or two watches every month, which is an extra income."
"How can you do such a thing? It's so dangerous, don't do it again."
"Dad, I know what I'm doing. If I can't ensure safety, I will never take action. Dad, I'm grown up now. Please trust my judgment. I know what I'm doing. Don't worry, I will definitely ensure my own safety. You've been working with me for so long, you should understand that I'm not the ignorant child I used to be."
"Okay, do what you want. Dad is old and can't keep up with the ideas of you young people, but you must ensure your own safety. If you find that something is wrong, stop immediately, okay? There is no end to making money, and mom and dad can still work."
As long as he agreed, it would be worth it to brainwash him every night, making his perception of himself change little by little, so that he now thinks that he is a responsible and thoughtful person.
"I know, Dad. We go home together every day. You don't know who I am. I'm no longer the ignorant student I used to be. I've learned a lot from my colleagues and customers, and now I'm more reliable. Dad, believe me, I won't let you down."
The family cleaned the house again and then discussed what they needed to buy. However, after much discussion, Xu Hehua rejected all the ideas one by one because they already had the mats, pillows, cups, etc. at home and there was no need to spend money on them. Jiang Shushu didn't want to say anything and finally asked Xu Hehua to take care of it.
Finally, Xu Hehua clapped her hands and said that all they needed to do to move into their new home was to buy a few locks.
Jiang Shushu: "..." I prepared all the money and bills, but I didn't spend it. If I hadn't thought the lock at home was too small and unsafe, I might have saved the money on the lock. Don't you think it's absurd?
