Auntie walked into the yard, put her hands on her hips and said, "Xiao Kui, your mother-in-law is here. Why don't you invite her in to sit down?"
If your room is small, and you don't go in and sit down now, what about at night? Are you going to sleep on the street?
If you ask me, I suggest you take your mother-in-law to a hotel! Hotels are so much better; the beds are comfortable and the rooms are spacious!
Your mother-in-law raised your husband with great difficulty, so you can't be too stingy with her! Hahaha!
She deliberately tried to sow discord between Cheng Xiao Kui and Lin Qiu Ru!
If Cheng Xiao Kui doesn't take Lin Qiu Ru to stay in a hotel, then Cheng Xiao Kui is being stingy!
Cheng Xiao Kui glared at her second aunt and said, "What, are you going to pay for my hotel stay?!"
Auntie's face twitched violently. She said, "Why should I give you money? What business is it of mine what your family's affairs are?!"
Cheng Xiao Kui retorted, "It's none of your business. What are you babbling about? Is your mouth borrowed? You feel like you're losing out if you don't use it?"
Be careful not to talk too much and let your gut get chilled, or you'll get diarrhea and intestinal problems!
My aunt's face twitched a few times as she said, "You dare to insult me! Wait until your grandma gets back, see how she deals with you!"
Cheng Xiao Kui received new information: she had a grandmother.
She lowered her voice and asked Cheng Qiuqiu, "Where's Grandma?"
Cheng Qiuqiu said, "Grandma went for a walk in the park and won't be back until noon."
Sister, be careful! Grandma has never liked our family; she might beat or scold you when she gets back!
Cheng Xiao Kui figured that her house was too small, and her grandmother definitely wouldn't live with her family.
Her grandmother should live in the big room with her second aunt!
She said, "Even if she's my grandma, what right does she have to hit me?!"
Cheng Qiuqiu said, "Does it even need to be said why? It's because my second aunt gave her a healthy grandson. She's always seen our family as a thorn in her side..."
Don't forget that these two houses originally belonged to our family. After Dad passed away, she came and first took over the big house, and then she called my second aunt's family over.
Actually, it was all for the son born to my second aunt to seize this house!
She also said that once our mother and brother die, this house will belong to her family and cannot be given to outsiders.
We're both daughters, and we'll both get married sooner or later; we're all outsiders now!
Cheng Xiao Kui rolled her eyes and said, "Ugly as she is, she thinks too highly of herself! Ha! Let her think about it first, after all, she doesn't have much time left, she's in a hurry to be reincarnated!"
After she finished speaking, she stretched her arms, stood up, and rubbed her lower back. She said that sitting on a small stool all the time was taking a toll on her back.
And her second aunt reminded her, "Where will this whole family stay tonight?"
Her small house was far too small for her to live in, so she gave her younger sister a wink, signaling her to come out with her.
Cheng Qiu Kui obediently followed Cheng Xiao Kui out of the courtyard.
She lowered her voice and asked, "Sis, why did you call me?"
Cheng Xiao Kui asked, "Is there anyone around here who rents out a place?"
There were no real estate agents in this day and age, and renting out a house had to be done discreetly.
The main principle is that if the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate. But if someone reports it, the police officers can't do anything about it and can only take action.
The illegal gains were confiscated, and then those who had sneaked over without a letter of introduction or local household registration were sent back to their place of origin.
Cheng Qiuqiu thought carefully and said, "Walk forward for about ten minutes. Grandma Zhang's house is for rent. But her rent is quite expensive. I heard it's several tens of yuan!"
Cheng Xiao Kui asked, "Money isn't important, how big is her house?"
Cheng Qiu Kui said, "It's quite big, with two courtyards, one inside and one outside, and each courtyard has its own gate."
It means there are houses in the front yard and houses in the back yard, and each yard has its own gate, with a wall between the two yards.
I passed by his house every day after school, and sometimes his gate was open. If there was no one in the yard, I would go in and take a walk around.
Wow! That house is really nice! They have so many houses! They've rented out such good ones!
Her eyes were full of envy, probably because her own house was too cramped, so she really envied other people's big houses.
Just imagine that yard! It's several times bigger than his house. You could roll around in it!
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Can you take me there to have a look?"
Cheng Qiuqiu asked in surprise, "Sister, why are you looking at that house? Don't tell me you want to rent it?"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Let's go take a look first!"
Xiaolongbao and Cheng Xiaokui tugged at each other's clothes, both insisting on going with Cheng Xiaokui.
Cheng Xiao Kui led one child in each hand, bringing along the two children, and followed Cheng Qiu Kui to look at houses.
Just as Cheng Qiu Kui said, the house was big and clean, and had two courtyards.
The key point is that the two courtyards are independent, each with its own gate.
However, there is a wall between the two courtyards.
Aunt Zhang's own home is right next to this courtyard.
When Aunt Zhang saw people coming to look at the house, she followed them, leaning on her cane, to see what was going on.
Aunt Zhang said, "These two courtyards used to be one courtyard. I have two sons, so I specially separated the courtyards, originally intending for each of them to live on one side."
Who would have thought that both children would be transferred to the Northeast oilfield and wouldn't come back all year round.
They've settled down there too, and they only come back to see me every few years during the Lunar New Year.
The two brothers have both had children over there. I'm thinking of using this house to make some money and sending it to my grandchildren to help with their household expenses!
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Grandma Zhang, your house is very nice, but I heard it's quite expensive."
