But reality didn't allow her to choose.
Fortunately, after the old man forced himself on her, he saw a red stain on the sheets and his attitude towards her improved considerably.
Although he sometimes grumbles and teases her in bed, he is very generous to her when it comes to food, drink, clothing, and other necessities.
She suddenly felt very content!
Xu Zhen's home is in apartment 502, unit 1 of a building.
Xu Yongqing became even more agitated after listening to his parents and sister complaining to each other.
"Since the Xu Haiguo family is so unforgiving and heartless, they shouldn't blame us for being ruthless in return!"
Xu Yongqing jumped up from the sofa: "I'm going to find Building Manager Xiong right now!"
As Xu Yongqing spoke, he rushed towards the entrance, intending to go directly to the eighth floor.
"Brother, are you going to Brother Xiong's house? I want to go too, wait for me!"
When Xu Qiong heard that her older brother was going to Xiong Zhong's house, she excitedly jumped up from the sofa, put on her shoes, and was about to follow him.
Unexpectedly, she had only taken a few steps when Huang Cuicui grabbed her arm: "Why do you look so worthless? Xiong Zhong is not good enough for you. I said I'll introduce you to someone better!"
Seeing the two still struggling in the living room, Xu Yongqing grew impatient and left.
Upon reaching the eighth floor, Xu Yongqing, not being an insider, was even unable to enter Xiong Zhong's apartment.
"Brothers, I'm here to give Manager Xiong a bribe!"
After that, he obsequiously took out the two cigarettes he had been reluctant to smoke and handed them to the two thugs guarding the gate of Xiong Louzhang's house.
He had wanted to light their cigarettes, but unfortunately he didn't have a lighter.
Lighters and matches that can start a fire are now considered high-quality items, and they are not cheap; he can't afford them.
The two thugs guarding the gate accepted the cigarettes, and their attitude improved considerably.
Wait here, I'll go get Deputy Building Manager Wang right away!
Since Xiong Zhong and Wang Cai publicly stated that they were cooperating in managing the building, the two have no longer concealed their true relationship.
After Wang Cai was called out, Xu Yongqing saw that his second uncle's family had a speedboat and then maliciously revealed that his family was quite well-off.
Some of it was even deliberately exaggerated by him.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wang Cai show an interested expression.
He knew then that these people had taken the bait.
Thinking of Xu Haiguo's family of five being targeted by this group of thugs, he could almost see their miserable end.
Thinking of this, Xu Yongqing revealed a wicked smile.
"Oh dear, my right eyelid suddenly twitched today? Is something going to happen?"
Early in the morning, while preparing breakfast for her family, Song Qiu'e hurriedly rubbed her right eye.
"Mom, that's superstition!!"
Xu Lai, who was helping to peel potatoes, glanced at her mother, whose face showed some worry, and quickly said with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to hear someone calling, "1702, open the door."
At this moment, Xu Jiangming, Xu Haiguo, and Xu Chao were still busy feeding poultry and livestock and checking the growth of rice seedlings in the space warehouse.
So Xu Lai washed her hands in a basin, walked to the entrance, and opened the door.
"1702, open the door!"
As soon as the door opened, the somewhat familiar sound became much clearer; it was coming from the fire door.
It's not the beginning of the month, why are these people contacting me?
Xu Lai walked out of the house with some doubt, and then carefully closed the door behind her.
Once the door closes, the lock clicks shut, and to get back in, either someone inside has to open the door, or someone outside has to use a key.
After closing the door, Xu Lai took a black baseball cap from her spatial storage and put it on, pulling the brim down low.
"What can I do for you?"
Xu Lai walked to the fire door and glanced at the people outside through the gaps between the steel bars of the fire door. She deliberately raised her voice and asked politely.
"Isn't that impolite? Could you please open this fire door?"
Wang Cai, who was in charge of selling supplies before, really knows how to talk.
This fire door doesn't belong to any private individual, and under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be closed.
Because their building manager turns a blind eye, the Xu family is able to take advantage of this.
Xu Lai didn't know what Wang Cai was trying to tell her, but she felt that he was telling her that these people were here today because of Xu Zhen's family.
But she didn't want to break ties with those people at this time.
So after thinking about it, I took out the key and opened the fire door.
After the fire door opened, Xu Lai repeated, "What can I do for you?"
After Wang Cai and his two companions entered the fire door, they saw another sturdy security door installed in the connecting corridor on one side.
"Hey, you guys have made it very safe, but isn't it a bit unfair to claim this space for yourselves?"
Wang Cai, who was standing at the front, looked up and carefully examined the girl in front of him.
He was dressed in all black, quite tall, but wearing a baseball cap, so his facial features were obscured. However, his voice sounded rather deep, like that of a boy.
What's wrong with this? It's better than you using your management rights over the whole building to run rampant and try every means to plunder it!
Xu Lai complained inwardly, but said something completely different: "Although my family does take up a little space in the corridor, it's for our own safety. From another perspective, if we're safe, doesn't that reduce the trouble for the building manager?"
Anyone can reason with others.
