In the end, Zhao Erjie chose Old Lady Wang with tears in her eyes. Her mother was like that, what else could she do?
And if she doesn't listen to her mother, she will always lose when her mother makes a fuss.
After watching the excitement, Niu Chunhua rushed to the guesthouse early. When she learned that Ma Xiulan was moving today, she looked sad:
"Why don't you call me? Don't you consider me your sister?"
Ma Xiulan quickly shook her head: "Please don't be offended. I just find it annoying to meet the Zhao family. From now on, I will ask a child to come to your house and call you. We can sit over there and chat."
Niu Chunhua helped Ma Xiu Lan to pack her things neatly while telling her what happened at the Zhao family this morning.
One person played two roles and imitated them vividly.
We strive to ensure that even if Ma Xiulan is not present at the scene, she can still experience the excitement of the time.
"Tell me, has the second daughter of the Zhao family lost her mind? Did Old Lady Wang give her some kind of magic potion?"
Niu Chunhua was very puzzled. She didn't understand why the second son of the Zhao family finally chose to follow Old Lady Wang.
"Old Lady Wang favors boys over girls and has instilled many incorrect ideas in her daughter since she was young. She also often says inappropriate things to Xingmin."
Ma Xiulan sighed, thinking that in her previous life, Xingmin was also taught by Old Lady Wang to devote herself to her younger brother. Fortunately, she came back, and this time she must give Xingmin a happy life.
Niu Chunhua slapped her thigh, wondering how she could have forgotten such an important thing.
"Oh, I haven't told you yet. Zhao Youcai was beaten up last night, and he didn't dare tell anyone. He must have done something wrong."
Ma Xiu Lan frowned, wondering if it was her brother who did it. If something happened to Zhao Youcai, her brother would be implicated.
Then Niu Chunhua continued:
"However, the bitch is very lucky. I saw Zhao Youcai this morning and he was fine. I just heard that he took a day off and should be recuperating at home."
Zhao Youcai, who was presumed to be recuperating at home, was cleaning the house he rented for Li Shulan at No. 175 at the end of Longyang Street.
Li Shulan had no place to live at her mother's house, and had to live with several benches put together, which made Li Shulan, who was used to sleeping in a bed, very uncomfortable.
She went to Zhao Youcai and cried, saying that if she stayed any longer she would be taken away by her family to marry someone else.
Let Zhao Youcai save up enough money to marry her as soon as possible.
Zhao Youcai hesitated and didn't dare to say that he couldn't marry her. He just said that he would help her rent a house and move out first, so that it would not be easy for her mother to marry her off.
When Li Shulan heard that she wanted to rent a house, she asked for one with its own door and yard.
Zhao Youcai looked for a house after work all night according to this standard, but it was difficult to rent a house and it got dark early. He had to work during the day and had no time to go out and look, so he asked his cousin Zhao Youjie to do this.
When Zhao Youjie heard his request, he wanted to live alone, have his own door and yard, and it had to be cheap and safe.
Where can he find it? He might as well just live in a coffin.
Two days later, he told Zhao Youcai that the monthly rent for a house with a private courtyard was more than 20 yuan, and he still couldn't rent it because houses were in short supply. If all else failed, he had an empty room in his house, so he could rent it from him.
In fact, there was no vacant house in his house. It was his wife who knew about it and was jealous of the rent, so she wanted to let her two daughters live in her house.
The house where the two daughters lived was vacated and rented to Zhao Youcai.
When Zhao Youcai heard that 20 yuan was too expensive, he thought it would be fine to rent it at Zhao Youjie's house. After all, no one would suspect anything if he went to his cousin's house.
The most important thing is that it is cheap, only 3 yuan a month.
Moreover, Zhao Youjie is his cousin and can help him look after Shulan. He cannot marry Shulan and cannot live with her at night. Shulan is so beautiful, he must not let her be seduced away by other men.
Today he will come over to clean the house first, and then Li Shulan will come over with some things.
Li Shulan saw the house, which was only six or seven square meters, with dark walls and narrow windows, and twisted her face in displeasure:
"This is far worse than where I lived before at the He family."
Zhao Youcai also felt that Shulan had been wronged, but he really couldn't find a more suitable house than this one.
"I just heard from my cousin that the old house I gave to Ma Xiulan is being renovated recently. If you think about her living in just one room with her eldest brother and his wife, as well as Xingmin, that house is much worse than yours."
Li Shulan became interested: "Really? Then I'll go and take a look."
"It's right in front, at number 138. They live there and walk from the main street. It's more convenient for us to walk from the end of the street. You won't run into each other normally."
As Zhao Youcai walked, he introduced the situation here to Li Shulan.
When Li Shulan arrived at No. 138, she saw that although the house had been reinforced and a kitchen had been built, it did look more dilapidated than her own house.
"Look, this house was built by my grandfather, and my cousin's house was built by his father. There's a difference of more than 20 years between them."
Li Shulan still pouted and said:
"The house that Ma Xiulan lives in looks to be around 20 square meters, and mine is just a tiny bit. How about you ask your cousin to rent the largest room to us? I'm thinking about you. If you let me live worse than Ma Xiulan, how can you prove that you love me?"
Zhao Youcai glared when he heard this, anxious to express his loyalty:
"Don't worry, I only love you. I will definitely make sure you live a much better life than Ma Xiulan in the future. I'll go discuss it with my cousin right now."
It’s just that Zhao Youcai was missing a big front tooth, and when he spoke, his saliva splashed onto Li Shulan’s face.
Li Shulan wanted to roll her eyes in disgust, but she had to pretend to be touched on the surface, otherwise how would she get money from Zhao Youcai later.
Zhao Youjie's wife was unhappy when she heard Zhao Youcai's request. This woman spoke in a coquettish manner and dressed so beautifully. She instinctively disliked her.
Besides, she just wanted to make her daughter suffer, and didn't want to make herself suffer by living in a small room and giving up the big room.
Zhao Youjie made the decision immediately. It would be pleasing to the eye to have such a good-looking person living in his own home.
He and his wife moved with their two daughters to a room about the same size as their son's, while their son and daughter-in-law moved into a smaller room.
Zhao Youcai pays 5 yuan in rent every month.
When they got into the house, Li Shulan took Zhao Youcai's hand and said:
"Youcai, didn't you owe my mom a thousand yuan? I sold the watch for 200 yuan last time, and now I'm still short of 800 yuan. We haven't been able to pay her. Even if I move out, I'm afraid my mom will come door to door in a few days and drag me away to marry someone else."
"But in this life, I will never marry anyone except you."
Li Shulan turned sideways to Zhao Youcai, showing her most beautiful right face, and her tears fell like beads with broken strings, which was heartbreaking.
Zhao Youcai immediately handed his passbook to Li Shulan: "Here is all the money I have now, 250 yuan. Take it and return it to your mother first. I will send you another 500 yuan in a couple of days."
Li Shulan hugged Zhao Youcai, her face full of emotion: "Youcai, I knew you wouldn't let me suffer. I just feel sorry for our son."
Zhao Youcai was curious: "What happened to Jindong?"
