Lin Chuchu had a good first impression of her and nodded, "Yes, this house is mine. Thank you for cleaning it for me. We just came to take a look."
Her gentle demeanor eased the girl's tension. "There's no food in the room. Would you like me to bring you some vegetables and fish?"
There's nothing in the house. What are we going to do for lunch this afternoon?
Lin Chuchu knew the girl was thinking of them, but they didn't plan to stay there.
"No need, we'll leave in a bit, we won't be eating here tonight."
She didn't want to go through all that trouble for a meal.
The two talked for a while before the little girl left. After returning home, her mother pulled her aside to talk.
"How is it? Has the homeowner arrived? Did they say whether the house is for sale or not?"
The girl's mother said urgently that she had her eye on that house for a long time; it was beautiful and spacious, enough for her whole family to live in.
Ever since they learned that their daughter had been cleaning the house continuously, they had been looking forward to meeting the homeowner.
The house has been built for so long, and the owner has never come, which means they don't live here often.
Maybe they'd be willing to sell the house? It would be even better if they could live there for free.
In time, the house might become theirs.
The woman had her own plans in mind, but she got angry at her daughter's dull and unresponsive appearance.
"I'm talking to you, did you ask or not?"
The daughter was speechless at her mother's tendency to take advantage of others. "Mom, they are all important people. Don't try to take advantage of them. Have you forgotten those soldiers with live ammunition back then?"
When the house was being built, many soldiers came. Military trucks brought building materials. The nearly three-meter-high wall and the glass on it were installed by the soldiers. Moreover, soldiers would come every two weeks.
Most importantly, that area is within the military region's jurisdiction, and they are ordinary civilians, so they dare not go near it.
Back then, she wasn't the first person to clean. The first woman saw so many good things inside and became greedy, so she took things out of the house for her own use.
As a result, the soldiers discovered them, took the woman and her family away, and detained them for a month before releasing them.
From then on, that family became like quails, never daring to approach that house again.
They chose her later. She was very satisfied with the job; it paid well, was close to home, and allowed her to take care of her younger siblings.
The mother looked embarrassed. "I just think it's a waste to leave the house empty. If we move in, it would be a way of helping to look after the house."
The girl ignored her mother, who only dared to talk about it but didn't dare to come to her door.
