“Alright, now that the money has been refunded, the Jia family can move out of Zhang Laosan’s house.” Liu Haizhong’s eyes lit up, and he added, “But it’s inconvenient to move at night, let’s move tomorrow morning.”
If Jia Zhangshi didn't ask for a refund, Liu Haizhong really didn't have a good solution.
But now that the money has been refunded, everything is much easier to handle.
Zhang Laosan's wife has already given you the money, so you can't just keep staying at her house and not leave.
"Who are you trying to rip off! Who only charges one yuan a month for rent!"
Jia Zhangshi angrily threw the money back, but Zhang Laosan's wife refused to take it.
"Jia Zhangshi, I know you're used to causing trouble and acting like a bully in the courtyard, but everyone in the courtyard knows that the rent was only one yuan a month. The money has already been given to you, so get out of here first thing tomorrow morning!"
After saying that, Zhang Laosan's wife ignored Jia Zhangshi and turned back to her room.
Qin Huairu silently picked up the one yuan coin from the ground: "Mom, the rent is indeed one yuan a month. You shouldn't have asked her for a refund."
If they don't get their money back, at least they can stay for a full month. Now, they'll have to pack their bags and leave tomorrow.
Now the Jia family has neither money nor a house; they have nowhere to go in the vast city of Beijing.
Unless they can manage to hold out for a few more days until the steel mill pays their wages, then they'll have money to rent a place.
"Qin Huairu, are you blaming me?" Madam Jia Zhang squinted her triangular eyes and muttered dissatisfyingly, "I'm doing this all for the sake of this family. If you and Dongxu hadn't sold the house, would we be renting from other people?"
After muttering for a while, Jia Zhangshi got tired of talking, picked up Banggeng and walked into the house: "My dear grandson, let's go to sleep. Tomorrow, Grandma will take you to live in the new house."
A new house?
Qin Huairu gave a bitter smile. It was good enough to find a dilapidated house to make do with, let alone a new house.
Yes, the side room in Uncle San's house where they store miscellaneous items would be quite suitable for them.
It'll barely last a few days.
Having made up her mind, Qin Huairu planned to go home and sleep first, and then go to talk to her third uncle early the next morning.
Yan Bugui is a relatively easy person to talk to; as long as you pay him, everything is negotiable.
The only thing to worry about is Yan Bugui causing trouble by taking the bicycle.
After tidying up briefly, Qin Huairu went back to bed to rest.
Qin Huairu didn't know what time she woke up, but she vaguely felt someone patting her face.
"who!"
Qin Huairu was shocked when she regained consciousness!
Jia Dongxu had only been gone for two days when someone took pictures of her face late at night?
"Me!" Madam Jia glared at her disapprovingly. "Who else could it be but me? It can't be some random man outside, can it?"
"Qin Huairu, I'm warning you, although my son Dongxu is gone, you are a member of the Jia family for life. As long as I'm alive, you can forget about remarrying!"
After a pause, Madam Jia added, "And don't even think about taking my precious grandson back to Qin Family Village."
Qin Huairu rubbed her eyes and replied somewhat angrily, "Mom, why are you slapping my face so late at night instead of sleeping?"
"Sleep, sleep, all you do is sleep! You'll be kicked out tomorrow morning and you'll still be able to sleep!" Madam Jia scolded.
Qin Huairu felt extremely wronged: "I'm pregnant now, what am I supposed to do if I don't sleep?"
"Besides, I've already thought of a backup plan. We'll go find Yan Bugui first thing tomorrow morning and rent a side room from his house for a few days."
Jia Zhangshi waved her hand: "You spendthrift! What's the point of spending that money? Get up and get ready so we can go home."
What is that?
go home?
Qin Huairu stared at Jia Zhangshi with complicated emotions, feeling that there was something wrong with her mental state.
Where is the Jia family's home now?
The house has been transferred to the Chen family.
"Are you stupid?" Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't move, Madam Jia raised her hand and patted her face again.
Qin Huairu raised her hand to block her: "Mom, I know Dongxu's death has been a big shock to you, but can you please stop talking nonsense so late at night? It's scary."
"Hey, Qin Huairu, what do you mean?"
Qin Huairu patiently explained, "Mom, we don't have a home anymore."
Waking up in the middle of the night to Jia Zhangshi's ramblings, Qin Huairu felt that there was no hope for the future.
Tomorrow, Jia Zhangshi must go out and earn money!
Even if it's hauling manure or cleaning toilets, as long as it can earn money, no matter how hard or tiring it is, Jia Zhangshi has to do it.
She had undergone reformation on the farm, so she had endured all kinds of hardship.
"Fine, you're not going home, huh? I'll take the sticky goose back with me!"
Because this had to be done secretly, Jia Zhangshi didn't dare to argue loudly with Qin Huairu. Instead, she got up, packed some luggage, and quietly moved to the house in the middle courtyard. Finally, she turned back and took the stick with her.
The walls and the earthen bed had been cleaned up. Although the room was still a bit dirty and messy, Jia Zhangshi didn't care at all.
She came here just to occupy the house.
So what if Jia Dongxu sold the house?
Chen Jun doesn't lack houses now, so why can't his family of three live there?
The Jia family now consists of an elderly person, a young child, and a pregnant woman. If Chen Jun were to kick them out, it would be a sign of utter heartlessness.
As long as they can shamelessly stay and endure the situation for a few years, Chen Jun will never be able to get the house back.
......
The next day, early morning.
Chen Xueru was getting Chen Jun a change of clothes when she heard a rapid knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Chen Xueru asked.
The banging on the door so early in the morning makes you think bandits have broken into the yard.
"I am Xu Damao!"
Xu Damao's voice came from outside the door: "Chen Jun, come out and take a look. Jia Zhangshi has moved into your house with Bang Geng, and now the door is locked from the inside."
What is that?
Jia Zhangshi was kicked out by Zhang Laosan's wife, but she actually wanted to move into her own house?
Chen Jun quickly dressed, opened the door and went out. Chen Xueru followed him out.
"Xu Damao, what exactly happened?" Chen Xueru couldn't help but ask.
"Qin Huairu just woke up and found that Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng were not there. She searched the yard and finally found them in the middle courtyard, but now Jia Zhangshi refuses to open the door, saying that this is their house and why can't they live here!" Xu Damao explained.
Chen Jun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
So she moved into the house in the middle courtyard. He had just thought that Jia Zhangshi had shamelessly moved into her mother's house.
"It's not a big problem, we just need to find them."
After Chen Jun finished speaking, he strode towards the central courtyard.
When he arrived, he found that quite a few people had already gathered in the courtyard to watch the spectacle.
As Jia Zhangshi was furtively peering out the window, she felt a little more at ease seeing so many people approaching.
If no one comes to watch the spectacle, Chen Jun might actually dare to throw her and Bang Geng out.
Now that so many people have gathered, Chen Jun can't just kick the old man and the child out in front of so many people, can he?
