Chapter 179 Let Pengfei return to live in the Zhuang family
There is no way we can come to a conclusion this evening.
There was no school the next day, so Tuanan and Hongbin went to their new home early in the morning.
The two of them looked through several rooms.
Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
The first plan they came up with was to see if they could connect the two rooms on the right and divide them into three rooms, one large and two small.
However, the rooms in this house are much smaller than they imagined, and there is no partition between the two rooms. The wall in the middle is a load-bearing wall and cannot be knocked down.
Although the kitchen is separated, it has chimneys and water pipes and cannot be moved.
There is a wall behind the house, which is less than one meter wide, so it cannot be expanded even if you want to.
"Then divide the back room into two rooms, and Pengfei and I will live in them." Hongbin thought for a while and answered.
"Aunt Zhu wouldn't agree to that. Besides, this room can only accommodate bunk beds. If we put two small beds in, there wouldn't be room for a desk or cabinet. It wouldn't be possible to separate it."
After measuring for a long time, there is no solution.
The two sat on the doorstep and felt that this home was really good, so this problem must be solved.
Hong Bin said, "If it really doesn't work, I'll try to persuade my mother again. This matter is not as complicated as she thinks."
Tunan nodded and said, "I'll talk to my mom about it later. If my mom agrees, I guess my dad won't say anything."
"The premise is, brother, our grades must not drop by a single point. If they drop by one point, it's all because of this house and Pengfei. We have to work harder!" Hongbin sighed.
Tuanan's grades have always been at the top, because he went to the junior high school of No. 1 Middle School, so all the teaching and homework methods are the same. However, Hongbin came from a school for children of employees, and his grades were not outstanding to begin with. He only barely got into No. 1 Middle School, so it was more difficult for him.
This is another reason why Zhu Xiuyu wanted to give him a room to himself.
"Okay, let's work hard. Go back and do two more sets of math problems." Tuanan nodded.
"Brother...is this set okay?"
"no."
......
Zhuang Chaoying also did this during the day. He sat at his desk, writing and drawing on a notebook, thinking about a compromise solution. Of course, there was no good way.
The only place that can be added is the yard, but if the yard is occupied, there will be no place to hang clothes.
The final conclusion is: it’s impossible to create a room.
In the afternoon, Huang Ling's family made an appointment with Song Ying's family to go to the park. Zhou Huailan brought a camera to take pictures of everyone.
Tuanan and Pengfei hurried to meet up with them. They originally wanted to call Hongbin, but Hongbin was embarrassed and went to play with his classmates so that his parents could communicate again.
Zhu Xiuyu made a bowl of noodles, topped it with an egg, and served it to Zhuang Chaoying.
Just now at lunch, Zhuang Chaoying didn't eat out of spite, but now he was starving, so he didn't refuse.
Zhu Xiu Yu didn't say anything and just sat aside.
After a while, she said, "I went to see my parents this morning."
Zhuang Chaoying raised his head and looked at her.
He didn't expect that Zhu Xiuyu would actually go to find his parents.
"Dad seems to be much better. He can walk a few steps with the help of a chair and can eat by himself. Mom said she wants to rent out the two spare rooms so that she can have some income to support the family."
"Well, then rent it! It's open now." Zhuang Chaoying said indifferently.
"Mom also said that it depends on whether Pengfei wants to go back to live there. If he does, we should leave a room for him." Zhu Xiu Yu then came to the key point.
Zhuang Chaoying understood immediately and was about to get angry:
"you!"
"Chaoying, don't worry. I think Pengfei is their grandson after all, so it's only natural for him to live with the Zhuang family. They didn't want to accept Pengfei before because they had no place for him to live, and Lin Fang and the others didn't agree. Now we have a place to live, right? Why don't you ask Hualin? Maybe she'll agree!"
"Living at the Zhuang family's house, Pengfei can have his own room and study in peace. I asked, and Mom knows the importance of studying and supports him going to high school and college."
"You definitely have to take care of his studies too. Let him come to our house on weekends, and you can tutor him and check his homework. It won't delay him at all."
Zhuang Chaoying had to admit that if his parents were willing to accept Pengfei at that time, he would not have offered to take care of him even if they only gave him a dining table to sleep on.
"My mom, don't I know that she will definitely make him work!"
"What kind of work can be done now? It's all done by Mom. Mom has been taking care of Dad alone for so long, she is used to it. What else can he, a child, do?" Zhu Xiu Yu replied.
Zhuang Chaoying waved his hand: "No, no, absolutely not."
Zhu Xiuyu gritted her teeth and cried, "I've thought of a way for you, but this doesn't work, and that doesn't work. You're the good guy, and I'm the bad guy. What else do you want? Teacher Zhuang, are you going to break up this family we worked so hard to get?"
"If you don't care about us, I have to care about ourselves too. Let's get a divorce! Anyway, we don't have a place to live now, so I'll go to the factory office and ask for my job back. It will take three to five years, so we'll wait. You can also give up this house, and you two can wait your turn."
After saying that, Zhu Xiuyu returned to her room.
Zhu Xiu Yu's harsh words made Zhuang Chaoying feel a chill down his spine.
If she really did that, then there would really be nothing left and everything would go back to square one.
He will once again become the butt of everyone's jokes.
Zhuang Chaoying was a little shaken.
It is a fact that the banker has many houses, but would his mother let a child take on so much housework? At most, she can do some things that are done by the way.
This is indeed the best solution.
But thinking of this, he felt uneasy again. He remembered clearly how Huang Ling scolded him when Zhuang's mother asked Xiaoting to take care of her.
I don’t know what Huang Ling would say if she knew about this.
Zhuang Chaoying walked to the door and knocked. When there was no response, he pushed the door open and went in.
"Xiu Yu, please don't say such angry words. It's not easy for us to be together and to get a share of the house. My children and I have seen all your efforts for this family. I can understand your fighting for Hong Bin..."
Zhu Xiuyu wiped away her tears and looked at Zhuang Chaoying pitifully: "I listen to you in everything, but I can't listen to you on this matter."
"Well, I'll go visit my parents, and then talk to Pengfei. We must move before the New Year, okay?" Zhuang Chaoying gave a deadline.
But this deadline was not to reassure Zhu Xiu Yu, but because the house lease expired on January 15th.
The lease is for one year, so they have to move in before that time no matter what.
Seeing that he relaxed, Zhu Xiuyu felt relieved and walked over to lean on him.
"I said the wrong thing. I'm sorry, Chaoying. I was really anxious. I mean no harm, not to the children. I can't speak, so don't blame me. I can't live without you. How could I leave you?"
Zhuang Chaoying felt much better after hearing her apology in a low voice.
Yes, how could this woman do something so desperate? She can't leave me.
The house has been signed and the keys are in hand, how can I return it? It's impossible.
As he thought about it, his heart relaxed again.
