After returning home, Zhao Damei's anger lingered for several days.
Upon hearing that Xiao Qi's house had been completed, she was even more furious, her anger burning within her.
At noon, the family gathered together for lunch, but afterwards she pulled Wan Qiufeng aside for a private meal.
“Xiao Qi’s family just built a few houses. You just got married, right? Go ask him for a new house as your wedding room.”
Zhao Damei tugged at Wan Qiufeng's ear, "Be smart, you're going this afternoon, bring your new wife with you."
Although Wan Qiufeng was a lazy man, he felt a little embarrassed after hearing this and scratched his head, "Is this... not a good idea?"
He pondered for a few seconds, figuring Xiao Qi wouldn't agree anyway, and couldn't help but say, "Besides, why would they give us a house for free?"
Zhao Damei angrily twisted Wan Qiufeng's ear and scolded him, "You really are stupid! You brought your new wife over, how could he possibly refuse?"
Zhao Damei firmly insisted that Xiao Qi would not refuse, and encouraged Wan Qiufeng, which indeed reassured him.
Just past noon, he brought his new wife to the door of Xiao Qi's newly built house.
Just then, Baili Wanwan joined in the fun and wandered around the new house several times.
She wore a white velvet jacket with gold thread and carried a fluffy pink bag filled with candies and snacks. Every few steps she would secretly take some out and put them in her mouth.
Seeing the two people approaching from afar, the moment they saw Wan Qiufeng, they immediately remembered that the Wan family didn't have much money.
Baili Wanwan narrowed her big eyes, worrying about the Wan family. Now that he had married a new wife, wouldn't their lives be even more difficult?
Thinking this, while Wan Qiufeng wasn't paying attention, the little girl quietly slipped a few candies into her hand, leaned close to the new bride, pursed her lips, and handed them to her.
The new bride was startled and looked over, only to meet a pair of bright, smiling eyes.
Noticing that she was looking at her, Baili Wanwan smiled even more broadly and looked back with a beaming smile.
The new bride's heart softened, and she couldn't help but pat her little head.
Wan Qiufeng tugged at his new wife, and the two of them headed towards the direction where Wan Suizhou was resting.
"Qiu Feng is here, please have a seat."
Wan Suizhou solemnly invited Wan Qiufeng and his new wife to sit down, and then instructed someone to bring a pot of hot tea.
"Xiao Qi's new house is finished. It's really grand and impressive. I just don't know..." Wan Qiufeng glanced at Wan Suizhou. If he could get past Wan Suizhou, then getting a house would be a sure thing.
The woman beside Wan Qiufeng squeezed his hand tighter, and thinking of the colorful candies, she couldn't help but say, "Actually, there's no need for that. We can save up our money and buy a house in a couple of years."
Wan Qiufeng glared at her, secretly squeezing her hand. "Look at her, she can't even speak properly. Why not use what's readily available instead of waiting?"
The woman lowered her eyes, the few candies still lingering in her heart. "If we save up, we'll have them. Why don't we wait a little longer?"
Wan Qiufeng's impatience was obvious. He glanced at the woman beside him, opened his mouth awkwardly, and said, "You don't need to be embarrassed. We've already asked, so Uncle will definitely agree."
Seeing the group talking, Xiao Qi subtly took Baili Wanwan's small hand and pulled her outside.
The boy's eyes were calm, but his face was full of seriousness.
"Don't meddle in these things, otherwise when that aunt goes back later, she will definitely blame you if she is treated badly." He said seriously, but his words were all for Baili Wanwan's sake.
Upon hearing this, Baili Wanwan blinked her big eyes and tilted her head to look at Xiao Qi, "How could that be? Wanwan will definitely make sure that big sister is not bullied!"
The new bride was quite pretty and charming, but she had a slightly naive look. However, she seemed a bit mismatched with the dull-witted Wan Qiufeng.
Baili Wanwan's eyes darted around, and a plan had already formed in her mind. "Believe it or not, Wanwan means what she says!"
Xiao Qi's eyes were deep, and his heart softened as he looked at Baili Wanwan's lively appearance.
Hearing the little boy's provocation, Xiao Qi couldn't help but laugh and deliberately asked, "What if Wanwan fails to do it?"
The little boy smacked his lips, tapped his chin with one small hand as if he were thinking, and then said cleverly, "Let's make a bet, what do you say?"
"Wanwan, I can't think of any conditions for the time being. You tell me first, what are your conditions if I lose?"
Baili Wanwan smiled with her eyes narrowed. She always enjoyed such interesting things. When talking about the bet, she swung her two pigtails and looked straight at Xiao Qi.
Her big eyes blinked, filled with the sincerity and purity of a child, waiting for her brother Xiao Qi to mention his conditions.
"Well... I haven't thought of any conditions yet. I'll bring them up later if I've figured them out."
Xiao Qi was so amused by Baili Wanwan's adorable appearance that he was completely flustered and couldn't think of any conditions to offer.
The two temporarily agreed to this unconditional bet.
inside the house.
After listening to Wan Qiufeng's words, Wan Suizhou frowned. "You haven't come here for a long time. You've come all this way just to fight over some property?"
Wan Qiufeng blushed deeply at his words, "I just saw that you've built a new house, and I've also just gotten married, so what do you think..."
“We are all relatives of the same family, and this property is not a big deal for you.”
Now that things had come to this point, Wan Qiufeng became even more shameless, "Please help me out, otherwise how can I get married without a new house?"
"Nonsense!"
Wan Suizhou slammed the lid of the teacup on top of the teacup, making a crisp sound, and frowned as he glared at Wan Qiufeng, "This property was allocated to Xiao Qi, what are you doing here fighting over it for no reason!"
"What an inconsiderate person. Take your people and go back."
"You..."
Wan Qiufeng was helpless, but he didn't move. He held the woman's hand tightly. "We just got married. As an elder, aren't you going to help us?"
Wan Suizhou raised his eyes. "I've made myself clear. You'd better watch yourselves."
Having said that, he stood up. "Come, see the guests out!"
Wan Qiufeng was kicked out, but there was nothing he could do. He could only angrily drag the woman away.
After chasing away Wan Qiufeng, Wan Suizhou also came out. He saw Xiao Qi and Baili Wanwan talking together and couldn't help but laugh, "Wanwan treats Xiao Qi even better than her older brother at home."
The two of them had always had a good relationship, which Wan Suizhou noticed and was pleased with their childhood friendship.
In addition, Baili Wanwan is a clever and adorable child who can get along well with Xiao Qi, so Wan Suizhou is not at ease.
Unexpectedly, no sooner had he finished speaking than his second brother, Wan Yuechi, strode in, overhearing what he had just said.
