Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Zhou Lanping happened to be standing at the door. She reached out and opened the door, and saw Ma Qiang and his family coming.
There is also Ma Qiang's sister Ma Ying. Ma Ying's age is not much different from Zhou Lanping, and she is even half a year younger than Zhou Lanping. But now she looks like a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties. Half of her hair is white, and she is dark and thin, with deep forehead wrinkles and prominent cheekbones. She is also very thin, like a walking skeleton.
"Lan Ping..."
Old Mrs. Ma grabbed Zhou Lanping's hand and said, "How can I thank you? You really helped Xiaoying solve her problem. Our whole family is grateful to you."
Ma Ying has now become a thorn in the side of Old Lady Ma, but she is incapable of buying a house for her children. This time, as long as the tube-shaped building is demolished, the family will be able to get a house. This is such a good thing, but because Ma Ying's family has no house, no matter how good the opportunity is, it will not be her turn.
Just when she had not slept well for several days, Ma Ying suddenly came to her, crying and laughing, saying that the factory leader had found her and said that she was a poor family in the factory, so she was given an extra house and she only had to pay a few thousand yuan.
A house costs several thousand yuan, and their family will spend all their money even if they have to sell everything they have.
When Mrs. Ma heard this, she was so happy that she wiped her tears from time to time. It was not until later that she found out that Ma Ying's house was not obtained for free. Zhou Lanping returned his house to the factory and also mentioned to the factory leaders that if the house was to be given to someone else, Ma Ying should be considered first.
After verification by the factory, it was confirmed that Ma Ying was a poor household, so the house was given to Ma Ying.
Old Mrs. Ma didn't know how to express the gratitude in her heart, and Ma Ying was crying all the time. She couldn't speak and was about to kneel down to Zhou Lanping.
"Xiaoying, don't be like this."
Zhou Lanping quickly helped Ma Ying up. She didn't dare to accept such a great gift.
"Sister, I don't know how to thank you!" Ma Ying's tears flowed like a river when she thought of the house her family lived in now.
"well……"
Zhou Banping sighed and held Ma Ying's skinny hand. If her family didn't have a house and a place to live now, the person crying now would not be Ma Ying, but her, Zhou Lanping.
"I think you know it too," Zhou Lanping really didn't feel that he had done anything, he just wanted to help if he could.
"This house is not in my name. I don't want my father's house to be lived in by someone else and then be called a fool, so I returned the house to the factory. We are all from the same factory. I didn't do anything. It was the leaders who saw your difficulties and approved it."
Although Zhou Lanping said so, Old Lady Liu knew that if Zhou Lanping was not there, the house would not have fallen into Ma Ying's hands, and there were people with worse conditions than Ma Ying.
The leader should be grateful, and so should Zhou Lanping.
"Sister, I don't know how to thank you." Ma Ying wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
"I want to treat you to dinner tomorrow."
"OK."
Zhou Lanping agreed readily. She knew that if she didn't have the meal, Ma Ying would never be able to get over it.
"Mom," Ma Ying called out to Old Lady Ma again.
"well……"
Old Mrs. Ma agreed, and soon the mother and daughter burst into tears again.
Ma Ying came early the next morning and brought a lot of things, including expensive fruits.
Zhou Lanping didn't want to accept it at first, thinking that Ma Ying's family had a hard time, and they would probably not be willing to eat such an expensive thing. But in the end, Ma Ying's tearful face made her feel a little overwhelmed, so she had to accept it and wait until Ma Ying moved into a new house to give her a housewarming gift.
Zhou Lanping took Liu Liang to have a meal with Ma Ying in a small restaurant. Although there were not many dishes, they were all meat.
When they came back, they were very happy, but they found that Liu Zongye and his family had all come.
Liu Zongye secretly looked at Zhou Lanping and thought to himself that Zhou Lanping was getting better and better. If she was like this back then, he would never have looked for Jian Jingqiao. Of course, he didn't like the change in Zhou Lanping.
Zhou Lanping's life should get worse and worse, and it would be best if he couldn't survive, but he couldn't live too well, otherwise he would feel balanced and happy.
As soon as Jian Jingqiao saw Liu Zongye's restless eyes, she knew what he was planning.
She reached out and pinched the flesh on Liu Zongye's waist.
Liu Zongye felt the pain and quickly withdrew his eyes from wandering around, but only he knew what he was thinking.
"Zhou Lanping, I'm here to take back my house!"
Liu Zongye puffed out his chest, looking like he was there to collect a debt.
He looked at the house in front of him greedily. He used to feel that it was rotten everywhere. Even if he was given the opportunity to live in it, he would not want to live there. But who would have known that such a shabby house could now be exchanged for a bigger one. I heard that someone even exchanged it for a house of over 100 square meters with three bedrooms and a living room, which was just right for their family to live in.
Zhou Lanping opened the door. Most of the things inside had been moved out, including the TV. Now only some tables and chairs were left. She wanted to take these away, but she found that these things were really not of much use, so she didn't plan to take them.
All the Liu family members rushed in, but when they saw the bare walls, no big TV, and no refrigerator, they felt uncomfortable and wondered why they had moved away. If they hadn't moved away, wouldn't all these things have become theirs?
But then I thought again, Zhou Lanping is indeed a sensible person. He is making room for them.
"Zhou Lanping, I want to live here now, you move out immediately."
Liu Zongye pointed to the door and urged people to go. He brought all the documents with him today and would go to the factory soon to complete the formalities and get the big house.
The sudden gust of cold wind made Liu Zongye shrink his body instinctively. When he turned around, he saw Liu Liang standing at the door with a kitchen knife in his hand.
She just looked at them gloomily, as if she would throw the kitchen knife in her hand at any moment.
People have eyes, but kitchen knives don't.
Liu Zongye couldn't help but swallow his saliva and took a step back.
"You're useless!" Jian Jingqiao kicked Liu Zongye directly. "You're still afraid of a little girl. Is she really going to chop you?"
Liu Zongye glared at Jian Jingqiao and said, "If you're not afraid, then go ahead!"
