Zhou Wen: "Mom, Zhou Wu and I will clean the yard."

Zhou Wu patted his chest and said, "I'm strong, Mom, you can order me around!"

Dawei: "Let me help you, Mom."

Xiaoyong: "I...I sweep the floor!!"

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite to you! Let me make it clear in advance, if you work more, you won't get more pocket money."

Children: ...who loves money the most in the family?

Needless to say.

The yard was built a long time ago, and there is a lot of moss growing on the stone steps and on the corners of the walls.

In addition to dealing with the moss, Qiao Yu also plans to clean up the dust inside and paint the walls white.

She spent eight hundred dollars to buy the yard, but the previous owner left in a hurry and gave her the furniture.

She was used to moving new items, and letting the people from the recycling station come to her house to estimate the value of the old items and take them away. She had to pack new items herself.

It took a full seven days to prepare the new house. After cleaning, the new furniture was packed and moved in.

Of course, the cleaning was done by Lao Zhou and the children who came to the compound by boat after get off work/school.

That night, the father and his two sons could not fit into the single room she rented. They had no place to step, so they had to get a certificate and stay in a hotel at the pier.

The busyness was productive. The last day happened to be a weekend, and our family of six stayed in our new home for one night.

Comfortable and bright.

Especially the flush toilet...

Even Zhou Wen, who usually doesn't talk much, sighed: "Mom, I want to go to school in the city."

"Hmm? Why?"

"I like this toilet."

Zhou Wu rolled his eyes, "Who doesn't like it?"

If you want to go to school in the city, you need to transfer your connections.

Zhou Wu is going to join the navy, and studying in the army will help with recommendations. Zhou Wendeng really let go of her worries and also went to Beijing to find her second brother.

As for Da Wei and Xiao Yong...

The two children have not yet discovered their special talents, so it is best for them to stay in the army, after all, they are still young.

In times of turmoil, there are fewer disputes within the army, which is equivalent to pure land.

Transferring a relationship just for a flush toilet?

Not a wise choice.

Qiao Yu refused: "No, you just stay in the army."

After being rejected outright, the children lost their energy. Although they didn't know why their mother was so determined, they didn't ask any more questions.

The next day, the children returned to the island, taking Lao Zhou with them.

Qiao Yu continued to go to class.

Even when he came back from class and found signs of rummaging in the house, he did not say anything.

However, when I went to the previous landlord to refund the rent, I chatted with this weird old lady for a while.

Grandma Wang's face was weathered and she looked much older than the last time we met.

Many diseases can be diagnosed by looking at the face.

This is...time is running out.

Once the old man showed weakness, she, who was kind-hearted, would still sit down and listen to what he had to say.

"I wasn't like this when I was young..." Grandma Wang seemed to be recalling the past, her eyes becoming even more cloudy, "When I got old, I became confused and didn't know people well. I harmed myself and caused trouble to others."

Qiao Yu did not respond.

She is pregnant, isn't she? She is suffering from old age.

"I want to ask you a favor."

"...You can find someone else."

"Help me take care of my funeral affairs, and I will inherit the two houses to you."

Qiao Yu rolled his eyes.

What's missing from her hand?

Since there is no shortage, why bother with these things.

If someone wants to give her something as a gift, she is not picky and will look at what the recipient is like.

For example, she sent back the things that the original owner's parents had sent her unopened.

Qiao Yu: “Sorry.”

Grandma Wang thought she was pulling, so she stepped back and looked up.

The girl's clear eyes were filled with a firm rejection...

Grandma Wang was stunned, as if she thought of something, and then smiled faintly.

If I hadn't been prejudiced and tormented myself so much in the beginning, would I have lived a few more years? Would I not have to find someone in the garbage to take my life away?

A fleeting tour of the lights and shadows of youth.

Widow Huang did not spread too many rumors. Her temperament did become strange after the death of her husband and son. Sometimes she didn't even know why she was sulking, ignoring people, and staying on the recliner for the whole day.

He doesn't like to socialize with people, nor does he like to talk to people. Even if he chats with people, it's just about things that are not true.

It was probably at this time that Sun Fengling took advantage of the situation and sneaked in.

At first, Sun Fengling was talking to herself alone.

Only Sun Fengling dared to talk to her. As time went on, she brought her children to her house, but she just thought that the shabby courtyard was much more lively.

Until the false bustle was interrupted by the girl in front of him.

Knowing Sun Fengling's purpose, she also disliked Qiao Yu.

Why? Falsehood is falsehood, but she is happy to live in falsehood.

Later, in desperation, a distant relative came to her and she agreed to arrange accommodation for him.

Even if she could make up for it and ask the police for help, her reputation in this compound had already been ruined. Even strange children would run away when they saw her...

What she is is a weird mother-in-law.

She wasn't like this when she was young.

She was also good at making friends at that time.

But as time goes by, my face ages and the people around me leave.

She coughed up blood last night.

After the visit, the doctor said she had been depressed for many years.

It's a heart disease.

He is terminally ill and there is no hope of recovery.

She finally understood why she had a good impression of Qiao Yu in the beginning.

Because she looks like herself when she was young.

Afterwards, he started to dislike Qiao Yu. Besides Qiao Yu's ruthlessness, he was also jealous of her.

She was jealous that the girl in the mirror had a lover and children, unlike her, who was alone...

But he hadn't done anything to offend her. On the contrary, she saw that Qiao Yu was a reliable person.

So I had the nerve to come and make conditions.

After putting forward the conditions, she almost lost all her face.

The other party didn't care about the house in her hands at all.

Everyone else was calculating and selfish, wanting to wipe out the whole family, but the person in front of her was the only one who rejected her.

After being rejected, although Grandma Wang felt ashamed, she also realized more clearly that once the other party agreed, they would not go back on their word, and at least she had hope for her funeral.

So, she came with conditions to make equal demands, and it became...

ask for help.

"I won't let you take care of me, I'll just let you take care of my funeral arrangements... Is that not okay?"

"Feel sorry."

Despite the other party's humble tone, Qiao Yu did not soften his heart.

She didn't want to get involved in trouble more than the poor old man.

"I'm going to sacrifice my dignity, please..."

Seeing that the other party was about to kneel, Qiao Yu quickly grabbed the other party's arm. She was firm and cold, "Grandma Wang, your house is very popular, do you know how many people are coveting it behind your back?

If you left, it would be all over, but if I really took over, what would I be left with? A bunch of rotten stalls.

You and I have no blood relationship, and we have no other contacts. A distant relative who popped up from any corner can come and make trouble. Not only do I have a lot of troubles to deal with, but I still can't get the house? Then don't I have no way to express my grievances?

So, I advise you...”

Seeing that the other party's face was getting more and more depressed after listening to his words, Qiao Yu had no choice but to say, "Actually, you still have other options. You don't have to rely on a stranger...individual."

What's the meaning?

Qiao Yu: "You can donate your stuff to the country, and the street office will definitely take care of your funeral."
