"Aunt?" Ningxia looked at the person and didn't dare to recognize her. She could only speak hesitantly. It was true that Zhang's mother looked much older than she was two years ago.
"Ningxia?" Zhang Yining's mother was so surprised to see the person that she thought she was seeing things.
"Well, I'm back in Beijing and came to see Yining. When does Yining get off work?" Ningxia confirmed that she had found the right person and looked at Zhang's mother with a lot of enthusiasm.
"Come in quickly, Yining will be back for lunch at noon. I've been recuperating at home recently, otherwise you wouldn't be able to find me if you came now."
Zhang's mother was so happy to see Ningxia, especially when she saw the two children following behind, she couldn't stop looking at her with envy.
"Call grandma." Ningxia saw that they were curious and pointed at Zhang's mother and asked them to call someone.
"Hello, grandma." The two little guys were very polite and soon made Zhang's mother laugh.
Ningxia felt that as a person with social anxiety, she was suitable to carry such a magic weapon with her when going out.
"Auntie, why is it so chaotic here?" Ningxia didn't have a good feeling about the people in the alley.
"Did you run into them? It's because a lot of people are returning to the city, and this is where all the families of the various departments are housed. Anyone who comes back is sent here."
"Any family with a bit of ability will do everything they can to get their children and grandchildren back to the city. Some of those who have made it through the exams and returned, many of them married in the countryside, and when they return, their families have no place to live."
"If they're all arranged here, they'll just have to occupy public space. Who would want that? People in the alleys are fighting over this every day."
"I told Lao Zhang a long time ago to move out, but he has been busy lately with some people's grievances and has not had time to move."
Zhang's mother was also annoyed when Ningxia asked this. With their family's status, they don't need to squeeze here. Even if they go to the company to live in, it will be more comfortable than here.
But Zhang's father had a plan in mind. This house was originally bought by them. If they moved out, the government might have to arrange for someone to live in it temporarily.
It is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away, and it is even more difficult to ask him to move out after he has moved in.
Now more and more people are coming to Beijing, and houses will become more and more scarce in the future. Who knows what will happen in the future!
Father Zhang would rather occupy the spot than give it up. He can live like his own home as long as he closes the door. Their yard is the most spacious here, and he went through all the formal procedures when he moved here.
There will never be another opportunity to occupy a house so blatantly. He thought of his precious daughter and decided to leave her more assets.
"Then there is no one in charge?" Ningxia knew that this could not go on forever. The policy had just come out and everything was in chaos. There would always be an explanation later.
"Who knows when and how to take care of it?" Zhang's mother was also a thoughtful person, and she complained.
She actually wanted to move out with her daughter and let Zhang's father occupy the house alone, and wait for the policy to come down.
Whether it is arranging new accommodation for them or cleaning up this place, they will not suffer any loss.
"By the way, are you back for the New Year this time?" Zhang's mother knew that her boyfriend was from the Shen family, so it was normal for her to return to Beijing now.
"Well, I'll be admitted to university and won't leave Beijing in the future." Ningxia looked at Zhang's mother's sallow complexion and felt sick at the sight.
"Did he get into university?" Zhang's mother was really surprised. She thought he must have been admitted to Beijing.
Zhang's mother liked Ningxia more and more. She was much better than the silly girl in her family.
"By the way, did Yining take the exam?" The two little ones in Ningxia's family couldn't sit still anymore, so they were allowed to go play in the yard.
"She took the exam, but only got into a junior college. Her father and I want her to go to a normal school, but she doesn't want to go. She's been throwing a tantrum these past few days."
Zhang's mother became worried when she talked about this. Her daughter was engaged two years ago, and then... let's not talk about it. They were also happy that she was admitted to a junior college this time.
But the girl said that she would work after graduating from college and would also get this money, which was no different from her current job where she gets paid directly.
She refused to go no matter what, and she was worrying about how to persuade her. Now that Ningxia came, she could finally have a good talk with her.
Zhang's mother and Ningxia were talking about Zhang Yining until a surprised voice came from the door, "Dabao, Erbao?"
Ningxia was about to go out when she saw a man running in and hugging her. "Ningxia, when did you come back? I missed you so much."
Zhang Yining hasn't changed much in the past two years. She's still as heartless as before, and her smile is still as bright as before. You can tell she's living a good life.
"I just got back. I know you missed me, so I came to see you." Ningxia also hugged her back. After seeing them talking, Zhang's mother went out to cook.
"Ningxia, why do you look prettier than before? And my two godsons really look exactly like you." Zhang Yining looked at Ningxia and had a lot to say.
"You look good too. What's wrong with your aunt? She looks unhappy." Ningxia didn't ask Zhang's mother until she saw Zhang Yining.
"My mom is worried. I got engaged two years ago, but then broke off the engagement. My mom got seriously ill because of that. Her health has been deteriorating since then, and she's been resting at home for a while now."
Zhang Yining looked heartless and her eyes turned red when she talked about this.
Only then did Ningxia realize that Zhang Yining and the son of one of her mother's younger sisters had fallen in love with each other.
Originally, the two families were considered to be well matched, and the engagement went smoothly, but who knew that the man was a complete "Sea King".
Zhang Yining is simple, but not stupid. Every time he touches her and hints at doing something with her, she will of course not agree.
Later, he got annoyed once or twice and got involved with her little follower again, and was caught by her.
But he said she was boring and threatened to break off the engagement if she didn't look at him.
Zhang Yining has been pampered since she was a child. Even without saying it, she just likes him.
She had risked her life for the guy named Xu and just said she didn't like him, not to mention that this guy was so disgusting?
She didn't care about breaking off the engagement, but this person was different from Xu Hengzheng, and his family was not simple either.
They spread the word that Zhang Yining slept with him, and that Zhang Yining was a "barren woman" who couldn't have children, so their family broke off the engagement.
Zhang's mother had a falling out with that family because of this matter and she became bedridden afterwards. How important is a woman's reputation?
Even though those people in the Zhang family didn't dare to say anything more, no one dared to propose marriage to Zhang Yining anymore.
Zhang's mother was worried that Zhang Yining would become an old maid, and she also blamed herself for not being able to judge people well. She had been ill and in poor health for the past few years.
Ningxia's eyebrows twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川" after hearing this. She didn't expect Zhang Yining to have lived like this over the years.
"You..." Ningxia didn't know how to comfort her. Even the Zhang family couldn't do anything about this.
"I don't want to have anything to do with that family anymore." Zhang Yining accepted her fate and smiled heartlessly.
