Mu Xiaocheng stayed at the hospital overnight and didn't go to class the next day. Ji Huaishen asked for leave for her.
He went home in the morning, while Ji Huaishen went to school to teach.
Mu Xiaocheng sat on the sofa in the living room, browsing the web. She originally wanted to start a live stream, but Chi Yan, like a spoiler, interrupted her plans.
Chi Yan strolled over to Mu Xiaocheng with a smile, glanced at her computer, cleared his throat, and said, "Sister-in-law, are you free?"
Mu Xiaocheng glanced at him, then shut down the computer: "Judging from your tone, do you need something from me?"
Chi Yan stood in front of Mu Xiaocheng with his hands in his pockets: "Sister-in-law, do you remember what you promised me last time when you asked me to go with you to teach that Yu something a lesson?"
Mu Xiaocheng blinked, looking completely stunned.
I honestly don't remember.
"The matter of our Chi family's old house."
Sure enough, my sister-in-law had forgotten.
My sister-in-law can't remember anything except money.
After Chi Yan mentioned it, Mu Xiaocheng remembered that she seemed to have promised.
"Since you're free today, come with me to take a look."
—
Chi Yan's return to China this time was mainly on the orders of her grandfather to take back the old house.
More than twenty years ago, the Chi family didn't have much standing in the underworld. At that time, the old man of the Chi family was driven to desperation by the enemy and had no choice but to sell the old house to raise some money and flee.
And so, they immediately went abroad and started their business overseas.
Now that we have the ability, it's natural that we should take back what our ancestors left behind.
Mu Xiaocheng and Chi Yan arrived at the old town, where few people lived anymore, and it was far from the city center.
She looked at Chi Yan with some confusion: "It's just an old house, isn't it? Just buy it back at a high price!"
Chi Yan put one hand in his pocket and shook his head: "Just thinking about this makes me furious."
"No matter how high the price I offer, the current owner of the house just won't sell! Isn't that infuriating?"
"It's infuriating."
Mu Xiaocheng picked up the conversation, saying quietly, "There are still people in this world who would rather not have money."
She looked at the old house in front of her, frowned and thought for a moment: "Perhaps, the person has developed an attachment to this house."
"Didn't you say before that the owner of this house was a woman? Perhaps this is a token of their love!"
After all, it's been over twenty years, and it's gone through countless hands. I wonder how many people have owned this house.
"Pah! This woman is just an old lady, talking nonsense."
As he spoke, Chi Yan knocked on the old-fashioned wooden door outside the courtyard.
Mu Xiaocheng couldn't help but look around the house.
It has a very vintage feel to it.
The yard outside looks very spacious, filled with flowers and plants that are very well maintained.
The wooden door and the outer fence, though damaged in some places, were clean.
It's clear that this place is carefully maintained.
The people inside heard the knocking, opened the door, and came out.
She was an elderly woman, about fifty or sixty years old, not very tall, and very thin.
He was wearing a simple dark cotton-padded jacket and holding a broom in his hand.
At first glance, he seems like a down-to-earth and honest person.
The woman's face immediately changed when she saw Chi Yan: "How many times have I told you? This house is not for sale. I'd rather die than sell it!"
She has a very loud voice.
Even Mu Xiaocheng was quite surprised.
Surprisingly, this middle-aged woman, who looked rather short, had a very loud voice.
Chi Yan forced a good-natured smile: "Auntie, look how many times I've come here. Please consider it, you know..."
I said I'm not selling!
The older woman interrupted Chi Yan's words with great force.
