After returning home, Liu Xiaoyuan's phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and saw that it was his landlord in the provincial capital calling.
Upon receiving the landlord's call, Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly remembered that he had been home for over a month and hadn't returned the rented apartment. The landlord's late-night call must be about the apartment.
"Hello, landlord!" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile after answering the phone.
The landlord asked, "Liu Xiaoyuan, where are you now? Do you still want to rent the house?"
The landlord sounded very angry, as if she had just had a fight with her husband.
Upon hearing the landlord's angry tone, Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but picture the landlord standing at the door, hands on his hips, with a broad back and a powerful presence, exuding an aura of invincibility.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Landlord, I'm sorry, I'm not renting the house anymore. I'm sorry."
Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's apology, the landlord's anger subsided a little. He said, "If you don't want to rent, come and move your things out tomorrow. You should know that my rooms are easy to rent. If you don't take your things out by tomorrow, I'll throw them away as trash!"
"Okay, okay, landlord, I'll definitely be there before 3 p.m. tomorrow!" Although there wasn't anything valuable in the rented place, I couldn't afford to lose it.
For example, there's a sweater that my mom knitted for me by hand. It was knitted by my mom stitch by stitch, and it can't be measured in money.
"I don't care when you come tomorrow, if you don't move your things out by tomorrow, I'll just throw them away as trash!" After saying that, the landlord hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoyuan thought that the landlord must be going through menopause, otherwise why would she be so angry?
Before his parents went to sleep, Liu Xiaoyuan told them about his trip to the provincial capital the next day. His parents didn't say anything, only that he should drive slowly and be careful.
After taking a shower, Liu Xiaoyuan went upstairs to his room to rest. Just then, his phone rang again.
Upon closer inspection, it was a call from Tan Wanqiu.
Why is Tan Wanqiu calling me so late?
"Hey, Tan Wanqiu, what's up so late? What's wrong?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked as soon as the call connected.
Tan Wanqiu said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, of course I called you because I have something to say. Do you want to know?"
Liu Xiaoyuan hated this kind of suspenseful stuff the most, and said, "Tell me if you want, otherwise forget it, I'm going to sleep!"
Liu Xiaoyuan's move was called "retreating to advance," and a little girl like Tan Wanqiu would definitely surrender immediately.
Seeing that Liu Xiaoyuan was not playing by the rules, Tan Wanqiu said with dissatisfaction, "Brother-in-law, you are so boring, you have no sense of humor at all!"
“You little brat, what’s the point of me being funny with you? Your brother-in-law’s humor is meant for your sister, you know?” Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Who knew that Tan Wanqiu and her sister were sitting on the bed on the other end of the phone, and the phone was on speakerphone.
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Tan Wanyi blushed deeply, her heart filled with sweetness, as if Liu Xiaoyuan's words were worth more than a thousand sweet nothings from others.
"Hehe..." Tan Wanqiu looked at her sister with a grin.
Tan Wanyi now had a feeling, like catching someone in the act of adultery, and her face turned bright red with shame, like a ripe red apple.
"Sister, did you hear that? Brother-in-law said he's going to use his humor on you!" Tan Wanqiu said to Tan Wanyi with a grin.
"You brat, I'll beat you to death!" Tan Wanyi's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Holy crap! Tan Wanyi is right here!
Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but worry. He realized that his words had been a bit rash. If Tan Wanyi got angry, then the joke would have gone too far.
However, upon hearing the playful banter between Tan Wanyi and Tan Wanqiu on the other end of the phone, it was clear that Tan Wanyi was not angry, but rather quite pleased.
After the two Tan sisters played around for a while on the other end of the phone, Tan Wanqiu picked up the phone again and said, "Brother-in-law, my sister is going to the provincial capital tomorrow. Are you sure you're comfortable with such a beautiful woman like my sister going?"
Huh? What a coincidence, Tan Wanyi is also going to the provincial capital tomorrow?
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "No problem, I'll be your protector tomorrow and take your sister to the provincial capital!"
"Sister, did you hear that? I told you your husband would take you to the provincial capital, but you didn't believe me!" Tan Wanqiu said.
On the other end of the phone, Tan Wanyi snatched her sister Tan Wanqiu's phone and said to Liu Xiaoyuan, "Xiaoyuan, don't listen to my sister's nonsense. I'm just going to the provincial capital tomorrow for some business. You go ahead with your work, I'll take the bus myself."
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "It's alright, I'm going to the provincial capital tomorrow anyway, so it's on my way!"
"Brother-in-law, your lie is so poorly told!" Tan Wanqiu said with a smile, clearly not believing that Liu Xiaoyuan was going to the provincial capital for business tomorrow.
Liu Xiaoyuan was too lazy to argue with Tan Wanqiu, a petty woman, and said to Tan Wanyi, "Wanyi, what time are you going tomorrow? I'll drive to pick you up."
"Brother-in-law, you bought a car! What brand is it? Toyota? Audi? Or BMW or Mercedes?" Tan Wanqiu asked in surprise.
Seeing Tan Wanqiu interrupt again, Liu Xiaoyuan said irritably, "Pikachu!"
"Ah!" Tan Wanqiu on the other end of the phone went from surprise to astonishment.
"Brother-in-law, you're not kidding me, are you?" Tan Wanqiu could hardly believe her ears that Liu Xiaoyuan would actually buy a pickup truck.
In Tan Wanqiu's opinion, even if Liu Xiaoyuan didn't buy a car costing tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, he should at least buy a decent-looking domestic car.
