After reading the medical book, Lu Zhixia went out and washed her hands again before starting to wrap wontons. She had prepared a lot of filling today, so she felt that she could wrap quite a lot of large wontons.
As she expected, she made a lot of wontons and cooked them in two separate pots.
I thought we wouldn't be able to finish it, but they ate it all up.
After dinner, I still had acupuncture. With my grandfather by my side, I felt confident and the treatment was finished quickly.
I couldn't help but feel grateful that today had gone so smoothly.
After chatting with his grandfather for a while, they left his grandfather's courtyard after Gu Lingxiao finished his hot compress.
After getting into the car, Lu Zhixia checked her watch and found it was half an hour earlier than usual. No wonder time seemed to fly by; she had unknowingly saved a lot of time today.
"I'll come over around one o'clock tomorrow," Gu Lingxiao said.
“If you can’t make it in time, that’s fine too. I can bring someone else to take possession of the property.”
"Who are you taking? Aren't Sister Lan and the others at the hospital?"
"It was the same group of people who sold me the umbrellas. I spent a few days with them, and I think they're pretty reliable."
"No need, I'll bring people over tomorrow."
"Alright, I'll wait for you."
The car stopped as soon as I finished speaking, and I realized that we had arrived at our destination without realizing it.
Lu Zhixia got out of the car, thinking that today had gone really smoothly and that she hoped every day would be like today.
After I take possession of the house tomorrow, I'll go look at other houses and collect the antique bowls.
If she can receive it smoothly, she plans to keep it as a collectible, not to buy it.
Antiques become more valuable as they age; their price may multiply several times over in a few years.
This is one of the reasons why she bought the house.
After thinking all this through, I realized I was already at my doorstep. Thinking about things really can be distracting. I'll turn around and tell Gu Lingxiao...
"Be careful on the road!"
Is something on your mind?
"Something may happen, but it's not a big problem."
"If you need any help, feel free to ask me."
"good."
"Then I'll go downstairs. You should get some rest."
"the same as you."
Lu Zhixia watched him turn and leave, so she took out her key and opened the door.
Once inside, I remembered that the glass bag by Su Lan's door was still there.
In other words, the old lady hadn't left. Thinking about how difficult the old woman was, one couldn't help but sigh that every family has its own troubles.
——
Morning.
Lu Zhixia was awakened by the sound of chopping on a cutting board. When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was still dark outside and the sound was right next to her.
So she put on her shoes, quickly went to the door, and opened it.
Sure enough, it was that old woman chopping something on the cutting board.
Upon closer inspection, the green thing looks like some kind of vegetable.
"Auntie, what are you doing so early in the morning?"
"Cooking for my daughter-in-law and the others is a bit noisy, but please bear with it!"
"You're not just making a lot of noise, it's only 4 a.m., you're going to wake everyone up!"
“What’s the big deal? I’m just chopping some vegetables,” Old Mrs. Ma said matter-of-factly. “This is my son’s front door. I can do whatever I want. It’s none of your business!”
"What are you saying? I live here, how can I not have a say in this?"
Lu Zhixia realized that the old lady was deliberately trying to put her down, probably just wanting to create some conflict so that she would move out.
"It's none of your business. You're just a tenant, not the owner of this house." After saying that, Grandma Ma continued chopping vegetables, and the force of her hands unconsciously increased.
"Who's keeping people awake so early in the morning! I'm going to chop his cutting board in half!" the man next door roared.
Grandma Ma was so frightened that she almost dropped the kitchen knife and hit her own foot.
She only wanted to torment the little girl and forgot about the other neighbors.
"Sorry, I've finished chopping." He said this in the direction the voice came from, then turned to the girl and said, "We'll see. If you don't move out, I'll bother you every day!"
"I didn't want to argue with you because you're an elder, but if you're so shameless, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"How exactly are you being impolite?"
"Then go ahead and try! Anyway, I'm young and you're old. If I accidentally make you too angry, you won't be able to see this world anymore!"
"You!" Old Mrs. Ma was indeed angry; her son had told her to buy a ticket home today.
But she was not content; she hadn't even had a chance to enjoy such a good life.
Why should they be able to live such a happy and carefree life?
Besides, isn't the purpose of raising a son to provide for you in your old age? A daughter-in-law should be filial to her!
She's just a little girl, so what if she's hospitalized? Does she need the whole family to take care of her?
Lu Zhixia made a harsh statement, but seeing that the old lady was indeed angry, she decided to back down and go back to her room to close the door, as she wanted to take a nap.
With that man's roar, the sound of chopping on the cutting board truly disappeared.
Just as I was about to close my eyes, I heard a clattering sound again. Upon closer listening, I realized it was the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding.
That old hag is indeed no pushover; it's time to get up.
So he put on his shoes and got out of bed, then folded the blankets on the bed neatly.
The sky is still overcast today, but it doesn't feel like it will rain much even if it does.
I took the washbasin out of the house and saw that there was no one in the corridor, so I went to the washroom to wash my face. When I came back, I saw the old woman holding her doorknob and opening the door a crack.
She immediately roared!
What are you doing?
Grandma Ma felt a little guilty after being caught by the young girl, but she quickly realized that the house belonged to her son, so what was she afraid of?
So she turned around, hands on her hips, and said, "I just wanted to go in and see what you've done to my son's house!"
