He Xiaotuan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, auntie. I promise to keep your place clean from now on. Don't you want to plant fruit trees? I'll go get you some saplings this weekend."

He Ruixue was not polite with him and instructed him again, "Remember to transplant some more flower seedlings, such as osmanthus and gardenia, as long as they smell good."

"Okay, there's a lot of it in the mountains. I'll dig it up for you some time."

The water was almost boiling, and He Ruixue walked towards the bathroom. It had changed a lot since she first moved in. There was a low stool in the corner and a square mirror on the marble washbasin.

The toilet and bathroom are separated by a plastic curtain. She originally wanted to make a simple shower head, a water tank and then connect a homemade shower head, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt it was too troublesome and has not implemented it yet.

After washing up, He Ruixue came out of the bathroom and slowly wiped her hair with a towel. Although the weather was not warm, the climate was dry and it would dry in a short while.

He Xiaojie was not as leisurely as her. She sat on a stool, scrubbing clothes with her hair wrapped in a towel.

After hanging up the clothes, she ran to the bedroom, her eyes brighter than the light bulbs, "Aunt, my brother has gone home. I'll sleep with you tonight. It's too late and I don't want to go home."

"Whatever, as long as you're not scared."

"My aunt is here, what should I be afraid of?"

She sat on a stool in front of the dressing table, fixing her medium-length hair. "A big mirror is better. You can see really clearly. My mom only bought me a small one, but if my face is bigger, it won't fit in."

"Wait until you save enough money to buy it yourself."

"My mom would definitely scold me to death if she knew I was wasting money."

She glanced around enviously and said, "Auntie, when do you think I can have my own house?"

"Either wait until you can afford to buy it, or wait until you get married."

"My mother won't let me buy a house. According to her, I'd rather save more money for my dowry and buy some big things as a dowry. That would make me look good."

He Xiaojie muttered, "But things will eventually break down. When they're thrown into the scrapyard, nothing will be left. But a house is something that can be passed down from generation to generation. It can't be lost."

She climbed onto the bed and leaned on the pillow next to He Ruixue. Perhaps the environment was too comfortable, so she couldn't help but pour out her heart.

"When I was little, I heard my parents quarreling. My dad got so angry that he said he wanted to kick her out. My mom's family was in such a bad state, she had nowhere to go. She could only hug me and my brother and cry.

Although they reconciled later, my mother must have felt very aggrieved at the time, so I wanted to have my own home so that I would have a place to go no matter who kicked me out.”

He Ruixue fell silent. To be honest, the quarrel between the brother and sister-in-law was related to the original owner. Wang Taozhi couldn't stand the fact that her mother-in-law gave all the good things to her sister-in-law and her own children didn't get any, so she broke out.

He Chunsheng felt that she was bullying his sister and was nitpicking with a child, so he said something like "This is how our He family is. If you don't want to live here anymore, just get out."

He Ruixue looked at her steadily, with a firm strength hidden in her calm eyes. "Then buy it. As long as you want it, nothing is impossible."

Receiving her support, He Xiaojie was deflated. "Forget it. I'm not a young aunt. How could I have saved any money in the past few years? Besides, everyone has a tight budget these days. If I buy a house and don't live in it within a few days, the housing authority will arrange for someone else to buy it."

She hugged He Ruixue's arm and acted coquettishly, "Besides, I still have you, my aunt. If that day really comes, I will come to find you. You won't ignore me, right?"

"Hey, are you relying on me?"

He Ruixue touched her forehead and said, "Go to sleep. You're still young. You're always thinking about so many things. You're thinking about getting married so early. Have you found a partner?"

"No."

There were people pursuing her at the grain station, but their conditions were very ordinary, so she didn't like them. "I was scared by what happened to Sun Laiyi. I have to choose my partner carefully."

Speaking of which, Sun Laiyi is about the same age as her. She is still busy with work, but this person has quickly experienced the entire process of getting married, losing her husband, and losing her child. It really opened her eyes.

If you find someone to marry in a hurry like her, it would be better not to get married.

"But it's her karma. She's full of evil intentions and dares to set her sights on you."

He Ruixue put the book on the bedside, turned off the light and prepared to go to sleep, not forgetting to say, "Stay away from her from now on."

"I understand, but what can we do if she insists on making things difficult for our family?"

She turned over and said, "Aunt, the Sun family is very lively now. Aunt Zhou has been saying that Sun Laiyi is possessed by a ghost and will not let her in. She also wants someone to exorcise her. Last time I saw her burning incense and praying to Buddha in the main hall, do you think we should report them for practicing feudal superstition?"

"Don't worry about it. Aunt Zhou is old. Even if she's arrested, she'll just receive a few days of criticism and education at most."

However, He Ruixue did have an idea. If praying to Buddha didn't work, would Zhou Erya go to worship her ancestors?

Since we are worshipping our ancestors, burning paper money is inevitable.

Sun Laiyi wants to kill her, so don't blame her for retaliating.

…

A peaceful week passed. Under the pressure of money, Zhou Erya reluctantly let Sun Laiyi come back to live with her, but she did not allow Sun Jinbao to talk to her and would beat her with wet willow leaves every time she entered or left the house.

Not only that, she would blame Sun Laiyi for any little problem at home, and would even point at her and beat and scold her for a long time if her chopsticks fell.

Old man Sun didn't care and completely tolerated all her actions. He even secretly brought paper money and incense when she said she wanted to worship her ancestors. It can be seen that he was also superstitious in his heart, but just didn't say it out loud.
