Chapter 66 The Fox Borrows the Tiger's Power Once
Yao Shula explained that the house used for the small shop at the street corner was borrowed from Lao Cao's family.
Lei Jingwu listened and nodded.
"So that means that house should belong to your family now, right?"
"Yes! It belongs to our family, and all our paperwork is in order."
But they are government entities, and we are just ordinary people, so we certainly can't confront them head-on.
So..." Yao Shula looked at Lei Jingwu, not finishing her sentence.
Lei Jingwu wasn't stupid; of course he understood the intricacies of the situation.
That era caused so many unresolved issues.
There are many assets in Xiaotian's maternal grandfather's family that they cannot recover.
However, Yao Shula has all the necessary paperwork, so generally speaking, this matter can definitely be handled.
“Okay, no problem. Do you want to take the house back, or do you have other ideas?” Lei Jingwu asked readily.
Yao Shula quickly waved her hand.
"Why would I take it back? I can't use it to start my own business. It's better to let the supply and marketing cooperative continue to use it!"
But the supply and marketing cooperative wants me to sign a rental contract.
I need to think about the specific contract details more, but it will definitely be a three-year contract. As for the rent... we can discuss it.
Do you think this will work?
Actually, I'm in the right. I didn't ask them for the previous rent; I just wanted them to pay me the rent later.
But I, an ordinary citizen, went to the government to discuss this matter...
They might even ignore me!
"So, I thought I'd take advantage of their power just this once," Yao Shula said with a smile.
It's such a shame that this little shop moved away! The shop had a decent customer flow, which would have been a good opportunity to attract customers to our area!
Lei Jingwu nodded, agreeing that Yao Shula's thinking was quite right.
Collecting rent is good too; she has to take care of three children now, and her energy is limited.
“Okay, I’ll take care of this in the next couple of days. Is there anything else?” Lei Jingwu asked with a smile.
"Yes! There's one more thing I need to trouble you with!"
You know I wanted to set up a recreational ball stall, right? Although the government doesn't really regulate small businesses anymore, having all the necessary permits and licenses will reduce future problems a lot.
Could you help me go to the business registration department to complete the necessary procedures?
After all... I'm busy taking care of three little ones every day.
Tian Tian is so small, I have to take her everywhere I go, just in case she gets lost again...
"Leave this to me, I'll take care of it all for you." Lei Jingwu agreed again.
This is nothing serious, just some minor things...
"What about the rest? Should I have someone repaint the walls in the next couple of days, and then embed some glass shards and nails on the top of the walls?"
Also, I've already made an agreement with them to get a dog for your family.
"It would be better to have a dog at home." Lei Jingwu looked around the yard, still a little worried.
They are all unarmed and vulnerable people. What should they do if they encounter bad people?
"You don't need to worry about these things, I've arranged everything."
Those people who build houses in front of me will come to my side to build walls after they finish their houses.
"These two kids won't be able to climb over the wall anymore," Yao Shula said.
Lei Jingwu said "oh" and immediately suggested that they replace the doors in the house with iron doors instead of wooden ones.
Just as Yao Shula was about to speak, Xiao Tiantian, who had been playing in the yard and was tired, came in with his toy airplane.
Lei Jingwu watched as Xiao Tiantian put the toy airplane away, and then went to the washbasin stand to wash and dry his hands.
Then Xiaotian ran up to Yao Shula and leaned against her.
Yao Shula also naturally took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the sweat from Xiaotian's forehead.
"Sis, I'm a little hungry!" Xiao Tiantian rubbed his face against Yao Shula's arm.
"Have a piece of sponge cake, only one! Otherwise you won't be able to eat dinner!" Yao Shula said immediately.
Xiao Tiantian immediately said "Oh," and then skillfully went to pick up the tin box containing the sponge cake from the table.
He took three small pieces.
The first piece was given to Yao Shula, the second to Lei Jingwu, and the third was his own.
Lei Jingwu sighed inwardly.
Yao Shula really took very good care of Xiao Tiantian...
“Yao Shula, I’ll give you an extra twenty every month from now on,” Lei Jingwu suddenly said.
Yao Shula was already putting the sponge cake into her mouth...
"Big brother, big sister is taking me to a big feast tomorrow, for three days straight, lunch and dinner!" Little Tiantian suddenly said with a smile.
Lei Jingwu was a little confused. Who was having such a lavish feast for three days in a row?
“My cousin is getting married soon, and my grandma and aunt asked me to take Xiaotian to the wedding tomorrow to help with the makeup,” Yao Shula explained.
"Yes, Grandma Yao specifically asked my eldest sister to bring me along."
Also, my older sister told me that we won't be holding photo frames at this banquet! Little Tiantian added her explanation.
Lei Jingwu chuckled.
How could he forget that Xiaotian helped Yao Shula hold the photo frame at her own father's wedding banquet!
"What were you going to do if you weren't carrying the photo frame?" Lei Jingwu teased Xiao Tiantian.
Without a second thought, Xiao Tiantian replied, "Eat, drink, play! And also, stop at the door and ask for wedding candy."
...
Lei Jingwu had already eaten before going home.
Before leaving, he told Yao Shula that she could take Xiao Tiantian to the banquet without worry these next few days, while he went to take care of other matters.
I will try my best to complete all the tasks that Yao Shula asked me to do before I leave this time.
Yao Shula felt very reassured and let Xiao Tiantian see Lei Jingwu out.
...
The next morning, after seeing Yao Shuxin and Yao Shuli go to school, Yao Shula tidied up the house and then took Xiaotiantian out for soy milk and fried dough sticks.
Each person drank a bowl of soy milk and ate a fried dough stick, and the two of them, one big and one small, headed towards the Yao family's old house.
From the moment you enter the alley where Old Yao lives, you see firecracker debris scattered all over the ground.
As soon as Xiao Tiantian saw Yao Shula glance at him, he quickly expressed his opinion.
"Big sister, I promise I won't pick up any duds."
Yao Shula nodded and took Xiao Tiantian's hand as they entered through the gate with the character "囍" (double happiness) pasted on it.
Upon seeing this, Zhong Xiaochun, who was busy preparing dishes with her sisters-in-law, immediately washed her hands and came to greet them.
"Shura, you've finally arrived!"
Have you eaten? If not, I'll make you both something to eat!
Yao Shula quickly said that she had already eaten.
Little Tiantian has already run off to play with the Yao family's kids.
Zhong Xiaochun then took Yao Shula's hand and walked towards the main room.
"My mother-in-law's eldest sister has arrived, and my mother has also arrived! My grandmother is sitting in the room with us!"
There's not much to do in the mornings; my dad is busy with his three apprentices at the shed.
Shura, come in with me later. If I say anything wrong, please remind me.
"If we don't tell you today, we won't be able to live for the next three days." Zhong Xiaochun said as he pulled Yao Shula into the main room.
"Wait for us, we're coming in too!" The other two daughters-in-law of the Yao family also put down what they were doing and came over.
This auntie is the worst; she loves to lecture people under the guise of being an elder…
Sure enough, as soon as the four entered the house, the woman in her fifties sitting next to Aunt Yao spoke up.
"Oh, you've finally decided to come in!"
You three really need to thank your mother-in-law; she's been incredibly dedicated to helping you take care of the children!
Yao Shula immediately glanced at Zhong Xiaochun.
I've already taught her how to respond to that. Let's see if this third sister-in-law can come back to her!
