Cheng Xiaokui said to her mother, "If you take their things, they should come to you and beg you to take them back."
Why did you send them back? They've been occupying your house for so many years, and they've been saying your son will die sooner or later. Don't you hate them?!
Song Wenhui pursed her lips and said, "How could I not hate it? Well, we're still relatives, so I don't want our relationship to become so strained. As long as I get the house back, that's all that matters."
Cheng Xiao Kui was completely bewildered. Her mother was very generous to outsiders, yet she sent her to the countryside...
She could have avoided going to the countryside...
Her grandmother's words kept replaying in her mind.
Cheng Qiuqiu said, "Mom, I think my sister is right! Her family has bullied us for so many years, why should we personally deliver it to her when she has to come to our door begging for our help?"
Song Wenhui said, "I'm just afraid your grandma and your second aunt will scold our family again. I'm sending it to them..."
Cheng Xiaokui said, "You send it to her, do you think she'll thank you? They're going to reserve this house. If you take it back, she'll curse your entire family for eighteen generations if you're not from the same family!"
Lin Qiuru said, "In-law, I think we should listen to Xiao Kui. Xiao Kui is right. Even if you send everything back, they'll still scold you. And they'll scold you even more harshly."
It's better to have something in your possession as leverage! It's better for them to come begging to you for something than for you to be met with their indifference!
Song Wenhui curled her lips and said coldly, "Fine then. If your grandma comes to ask for something, don't run away! You'd better handle things properly."
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "I know, now my sister and I will go and move all the things back from the house."
Song Wenhui said, "What are you two going to do? Can you even move it?"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Let's borrow a tricycle from the neighbor. And ask the neighbor's older brother to help us move it."
She had planned this all along, so when there was half a bag of potato chips left, she didn't let her mother-in-law sell any more.
She took half a bag of potato chips and wrapped it into two packets with yellow straw paper. These were to be given to the neighbors on both sides.
One was borrowing someone's car, and the other was asking someone to help move things out of the house.
Cheng Xiao Kui and Cheng Qiu Kui didn't even bother to eat before returning to their own homes.
Cheng Xiao Kui gave the potato chips to two neighbors. These potato chips were now a rare find in their alley, something you couldn't buy without queuing, and even then, you might not be able to get them.
The two neighbors couldn't stop smiling as they looked at the potato chips.
Borrowing a tricycle or helping move furniture is no big deal.
The neighbor lady called her son to help Cheng Xiaokui move her things.
Cheng Qiuqiu lowered her voice and said to her sister, "We don't have a key. We can't open the door without a key."
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Do we need a key to get back to our own house?!"
She got home and kicked the front door.
He kicked the door open with a bang.
She was never portrayed as a kind person; being a villainous supporting character was her standard role.
She will treat others even better if they treat her well.
If someone bullies her, she will retaliate by any means necessary!
Cheng Qiu Kui was utterly shocked; she never expected her sister to solve the lock problem so easily!
The older brother next door helped Cheng Xiao Kui move all her belongings out of the room.
Actually, my second aunt and second uncle have their own home, but my second aunt and grandmother want to occupy the house, so they live here.
There weren't many things in the house; they were all old and worn-out.
The bed, cabinets, boxes, and the like will be useful when renting out the house in the future, so there's no need to move them.
Cheng Xiao Kui packed up everything from the cabinet and boxes and put it on the tricycle.
Cheng Qiuqiu remembered that there was a lock cylinder in her house, and she found it.
My neighbor helped me change the lock cylinder.
Changing the lock cylinder means getting a new lock. Cheng Xiaokui told Cheng Qiukui to keep the new key safe.
The two sisters rode their tricycle home.
The older brother from next door followed Cheng Xiao Kui home, helped her carry her things into the yard, and then rode his tricycle back home.
Cheng Qiuqiu handed the key to her mother.
Song Wenhui stared blankly at the keys, never expecting that she would finally get her house back after being occupied for so many years.
She instructed Cheng Xiaokui to rent out the house as soon as possible tomorrow.
Lin Qiuru has already prepared dinner. Tonight's dinner is stewed pork belly. The whole family is really tired, so we must treat everyone well.
The two children silently ate their rice and braised pork in their bowls, one after another without making a sound.
The younger brother, Cheng Dongkui, also ate a bowl of rice, which was rare for him.
Song Wenhui watched her son eat a bowl of rice and half a bowl of braised pork, and smiled with unprecedented contentment.
She calculated that with the money she had saved, she could save up 100 yuan in two more days!
She will then be able to take her son to see a doctor.
After dinner, Cheng Xiao Kui and Cheng Qiu Kui washed the dishes together as usual.
Her mother-in-law was working too hard, and she wanted her to rest early.
The kitchen was quiet, with only the sound of two girls washing dishes.
Cheng Qiuqiu tilted her head and asked, "Sister, why aren't you saying anything? Is something on your mind?"
Cheng Xiao Kui forced a smile and said, "It's nothing on my mind. Qiu Kui... everything will be alright from now on. Once my brother's illness is cured..."
She stopped mid-sentence.
Once her younger brother's illness is cured and her family has saved enough money, she will ask her mother to use that money to buy a new house.
This way, Mom's family won't have to rent a place anymore, and Cheng Qiuqiu can work independently. As Mom wishes, they can separate and live separately, and Mom won't have to see her anymore.
Consider this her way of making it up to her mother...
She thought that after doing all these things, she had used up all her kindness...
Cheng Qiuqiu said with a smile, "It would be so wonderful if my brother got better! Then our whole family could be together happily."
Cheng Xiao Kui smiled, fearing that in her mother's heart, the family didn't include her.
After all, seeing her would remind me of the deceased Haruki.
Sister? Why doesn't she have any memory of her sister?
Why doesn't she remember anything about falling into the water and causing her sister's death?
She tapped her head with her hand. For so many years, she had been carrying the burden of her sister's life, and she hadn't even known it...
After washing the dishes, she returned to her mother-in-law's room.
She discussed it with her mother-in-law, and they decided that she would teach Cheng Qiuqiu how to bake potato chips tomorrow, and then take her mother-in-law to the hospital for a check-up the day after tomorrow.
Lin Qiuru said, "I don't need to see a doctor. It's just an upset stomach. Drinking more hot water will do the trick. Why go to the hospital? It'll just cost so much money."
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Mom, you have to go to the hospital for this illness! Just listen to me, don't you want to see Si Muyang get married and have children for you? Don't you want to hold your own grandson?!"
Lin Qiuru's heart clenched painfully. She said, "But...but the daughter-in-law I love is you!"
