While Xia Ruzheng and Wen Zhichao were moving things, Chen Mei stood in the yard, cracking sunflower seeds. When the child started crying, she slapped him and yelled, "Why are you crying? Are you crying yourself to death? You're really annoying!"
While cursing, she kept glancing at Xia Ruzheng, but Xia Ruzheng didn't bother to pay attention to her. Now Chen Mei couldn't change anything, so she could only curse herself with sour words and implicit accusations.
Wen Zhichao said, "Sister Mei, I'm making a mess here because of moving things. It's normal for the baby to feel uncomfortable. You should take the baby in!"
Chen Mei didn't have a good impression of Wen Zhichao at this point. Of course, she hadn't had a good impression of him to begin with. She said, "I can stand wherever I want. This is my yard! Besides, I'll keep an eye on you. If you accidentally take the wrong thing, we could open up a case."
It turns out that Chen Mei is quite good at stabbing people.
Wen Zhichao said coldly: "Yes, your family's land is very valuable, and we are very rare!"
Chen Mei blushed instantly. Fortunately, she still knew how to blush! Xia Ruzheng was really worried that she was too shameless and had no sense of shame.
Awang and Haisheng also came to help, and immediately laughed and said, "Even if every inch of land is worth a lot of money, it can't keep my brother and sister-in-law here. It shows that this place is not a good one!"
Chen Mei was so angry that her liver hurt.
Xia Ruzheng had originally thought that if he didn't have any use for some of the things he had, he could give them to Chen Mei. Moving them would be troublesome and take up space, but now seeing her behavior, Xia Ruzheng didn't even bother to pay attention to her, let alone give her anything. If someone only remembers the bad things about others and not the good things they do, it's useless to give them any benefits.
Finally, the house was emptied. Xia Ruzheng looked carefully inside and outside the house and found that nothing was left behind. Then he handed the key to Chen Mei and left.
The new place is not far away, just a few steps away.
The new yard was indeed larger than Chen Mei's, and it was very clean, without any broken or unused items. It was just planted with a lot of flowers and plants.
Wen Zhichao took Xia Ruzheng's hand and introduced her to the landlord: "This is my daughter-in-law. Her surname is Xia, and her name is Xia Ruzheng. You two elders are welcome to call her Zhengzheng. Zhengzheng, these are the two elders of the An family. I always wanted to call them uncle and aunt, but they didn't want to take advantage of me, so we have to call them Grandpa An and Grandma Liu!"
The two elders laughed and said, "Of course. We're over sixty years old and can't take advantage of you young people. Your wife is really beautiful. You're quite lucky to have married such a pretty wife!"
Grandpa An had a loud voice and looked energetic. Grandma Liu, who was standing behind him, didn't say a word, but she had a constant smile on her face. She looked like a gentle beauty from the Republic of China, whose temperament had been tempered by the years and she looked so elegant.
Looking at the demeanor of the two people, Xia Ruzheng knew that what Chen Mei said was bullshit. How could someone who looked as clear and bright as the moon and breeze do such a dirty thing?
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Grandma Liu said, "You guys can eat at our place today. I bought a few extra dishes today."
Xia Ruzheng was somewhat flattered and said, "How can I be so embarrassed?"
Grandma Liu smiled and said, "Why should you be embarrassed? We'll see each other every day from now on, so we should get to know each other quickly."
Xia Ruzheng said, "In that case, thank you in advance! Once we are settled, we will go back and invite you two elders."
Grandma Liu agreed readily. "I was too lazy to move that time, so I asked my husband to buy you some fried dough sticks. They were delicious! I knew you had really good hands!"
Xia Ruzheng smiled and thanked the compliment.
The house here was indeed larger than Chen Mei's. It had two bedrooms, plus an outer room for guests. The toilet was inside, the kitchen outside, and the toilet was much cleaner than Chen Mei's, which made Xia Ruzheng very happy. Plus, it had been renovated three years ago and was painted a bright pink, giving people a sense of spaciousness.
"Come to think of it, we're really getting a good deal with a rent of nine dollars!" Xia Ruzheng touched the furniture that was still as bright and new as ever. Since they were bought for his wedding, they were all top-quality items. It was really a great deal to rent a house like this. No wonder so many people wanted to rent it.
Wen Zhichao said, "Yes, I think the two elders are very easy to get along with. You should show more respect to them in the future and remember any good things they have. They have taken such a great advantage, it is only right that we can return the favor."
Xia Ruzheng said: "Of course!"
These two elderly people were unlike any Xia Ruzheng had encountered before. Many of the people Xia Ruzheng had encountered before were sarcastic and mean, willing to fight to the point of bloodshed over petty gains. The Du family was a typical example. Now that he had met such easygoing elderly people, he felt even more fortunate.
Haisheng and Awang were also invited to stay for dinner. With the two elderly people present, they were quite quiet and peaceful, not making any noise at all. They even said goodbye politely after dinner. Xia Ruzheng was practically stunned. What a huge change.
After Haisheng and Awang left, the two elders invited the young couple to have tea.
The tea in Guangzhou is a little different from the one at home, and Xia Ruzheng is a little uncomfortable with it. Grandma Liu is very considerate and thinks that they may not be used to it, so she replaces it with tea leaves.
At this time, the two elders were able to speak calmly of their deceased son, and all they could do was sigh. However, Xia Ruzheng was still sensitive enough to notice the tears in the corners of Grandma Liu's eyes.
Grandpa An said, "We didn't need this little money originally, and we had never planned to rent out the house. But later on, we started to feel that the yard was getting bigger, and with fewer people around, it was getting lonely, so we decided to rent it out."
