Wu Xinmo didn't say the rest. She believed that the mother-in-law would understand even if she didn't say it. What's more, she was really afraid of the mother-in-law. If she continued to speak, or said something wrong, she believed that she would be swept out by the broom next to the mother-in-law.
When I was a child, if I was disobedient, my mother would beat me with the thin bamboo strips on the broom, and my skin would be red and swollen. Even after many years, the pain is still clearly remembered in my heart.
So now when Wu Xinmo saw the bamboo broom next to the old woman, her scalp went numb.
"Little girl, you are very articulate."
There was no emotion in the mother-in-law's tone. Wu Xinmo subconsciously looked at the mother-in-law, trying to see something from her expression, but she saw nothing.
I was speechless for a moment.
The old woman stared at Wu Xinmo and Qian Yu for a long time, snorted coldly, then said slowly, "I will not leave here, no matter what you guys say..."
She immediately turned around, as if to go back to the house and close the door. Seeing her actions, Wu Xinmo rushed forward without thinking and shouted, "Wait a minute! If you have anything to say, we can talk it out..."
Wu Xinmo's actions were subconscious and she didn't consider the consequences at all, but she didn't expect the old woman to listen to her. But when the old woman stopped, Wu Xinmo was a little stunned.
"Let's talk inside," the mother-in-law said calmly, glancing at Wu Xinmo.
Seeing the mother-in-law enter the house, Wu Xinmo was silent for a moment and then looked at Qian Yu, motioning her to go in together. Although she didn't know why her mother-in-law's attitude changed, it was rare for her to be willing to see them, so of course she couldn't miss this opportunity.
After telling Qian Yu, Wu Xinmo immediately turned around and followed him into the house.
The floor beneath her feet was mostly made of cement and porcelain tiles. She knew that such houses were generally warm in winter and cool in summer. The interior was also simply decorated. The hallway contained only an antique clock, an embroidered painting, a calendar mounted on the wall, and a television. Although there were few items, they were arranged very logically, visually not feeling deserted or cluttered at all.
"Mother-in-law..." After looking around, Wu Xinmo's gaze fell on the mother-in-law again.
"I don't care what others think or do, but I will definitely take care of my own business. I've already told the developer that I won't leave this house." He looked at Wu Xinmo and Qian Yu standing there and said, "You guys keep saying that you're doing this for our own good, but which one of you isn't getting paid to do something for the developers? You're asking us to move out of this old house we've lived in for decades, and you're doing this for our own good? We didn't agree with you guys coming up to disturb us again and again before, but this time you've come straight to our house."
The mother-in-law seemed to have a lot of complaints, so she vented them directly on Wu Xinmo and Qian Yu without caring whether it was appropriate or not.
When Wu Xinmo heard what her mother-in-law said, she wanted to bite off her tongue for talking nonsense.
Feeling the gaze from the person next to her, Wu Xinmo instinctively turned to look at Qian Yu, and sure enough, as soon as she turned her head, she met her dark eyes.
