The housing management bureau staff were filling out forms with their heads down.
"Qin Nian, write Qin Nian on both houses."
Yang Yufen handed over the household registration book.
Professor Wen, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He watched as the staff from the Housing Management Bureau wrote down his name and stamped the document, and everything was settled.
“Since you bought this house for Niannian, then forget about the IOU and consider it as Niannian’s dowry.”
Professor Wen suddenly spoke after entering the family compound.
“How can that be? A loan is a loan. What you give to Niannian is Niannian’s, and what I give is mine. I also have my own selfish reasons. Niannian will have to take care of me when I’m old. It’s not the same.”
Yang Yufen was startled when she heard this.
Upon seeing this, Professor Wen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Alright, but mother-in-law, don't rush to pay it back. Taking good care of your child and your own health is more important. We're not in a hurry to use this money."
Professor Wen said one last thing.
Yang Yufen smiled, which meant that the term "mother-in-law" was a complete acceptance.
Yang Yufen started tidying up the house again, and the two children were quiet.
Of course, it was also because Yang Yufen had gained experience in raising children that she knew what the child wanted to do before the child even made a sound.
As the weather gets hotter, Yang Yufen brings a mat with her when she takes her child out. She washes the yard clean with water and lets it dry before spreading out the mat so the child can lie on it, roll over, and play.
“I’ve heard some activity around this yard these past few days. Apparently, they’re going to rent it out. There should be someone here at this time.”
Yang Yufen heard a sound outside the wall, and then a moment later she saw someone walk to the front gate.
"Aunt Yang!"
When their eyes met, Fan Juan never expected to run into an acquaintance while renting a house.
“You two know each other? That makes things easier. I have some things to take care of at home, so you two can talk to each other.”
After the old woman who accompanied Fan Juan finished speaking, she really left in a hurry.
"Oh, it's Xiaojuan. Are you looking to rent a place?"
Yang Yufen has almost finished tidying up the yard.
"Yes, ma'am, you rented this place?"
“I bought this place with my son’s pension, some money I had earned before, and some borrowed money. I thought it was close to the university and I could start a small business later.”
"Auntie, you're amazing!"
Fan Juan couldn't help but admire Yang Yufen's ideas and actions.
"Auntie, do you still run a bamboo weaving business? I've been here before, but I didn't see you. You don't live here, do you?"
"Yes, my daughter-in-law works at the research institute, and I live in the staff quarters with my child."
“That’s too much work for you to go back and forth like that, Auntie. How about this, you can rent your yard to me, and I can collect rent. You can also sell the things you make to me, and I’ll act as a middleman to sell them for you. Or I can help you get some orders. This way, you can take care of your children conveniently and have an income at the same time, how about that?”
Fan Juan really loved the location of this courtyard, but unfortunately she didn't have enough money. Although she earned quite a bit, she spent even more. Besides, she had already bought elsewhere and hadn't been able to snag this spot.
"I am the president of our school's foreign language exchange club. I usually lead the club members to receive various foreign guests and prepare meaningful souvenirs for them. I think what you made is very good."
