Fenglan trembled, tears streaming down her face. "But that house is mine!"
"Get out! Go ask for it wherever you want!" Wu Zhiqi roared.
Chunni pulled Fenglan away, saying, "Big sister, if you want Mom and Dad to come back, the family will welcome them. But if you're coming with ulterior motives, then don't come back. Manman is your real daughter."
Fenglan was pulled outside the door, wiping away her tears. "Chunni, I had no choice. You all live so well, you have no idea how hard it is for me."
"You can live such a good life? Didn't you want to suffer with your man? If you can endure hardship, then there will be endless hardship. Sister, you've just eaten too much poison and can't eat fine chaff anymore. Think about it carefully. Who lives like you? Spending money on your man will keep you poor for a lifetime, and feeling sorry for your man will keep you poor for three lifetimes." Chunni pushed Fenglan out of the courtyard and couldn't help but offer a few words of advice.
Fenglan walked away, wiping away her tears and turning back every few steps. Chunni sighed, completely baffled by her sister-in-law. Was her brain filled with nothing but water? Tears would just keep streaming down her face.
Inside the room, Wu Zhiqi and Li Mancang both looked rather unwell.
Second child: "Mom and Dad, Song Shiyu definitely has her eyes on Manman House. What should we do?"
"He wouldn't dare!" Li Mancang slammed his fist on the table.
The third son said, "Dad, he has nothing. He finally has this opportunity. What is he afraid of? This is not a small amount of money. Didn't you see that the eldest sister's attitude has become much tougher? They are penniless now. Who knows what they might do."
What the third brother didn't explicitly say was that this was precisely why they couldn't find Manman; if they could find Manman, the eldest sister probably wouldn't have come back.
“I called Manman and told her to come back. The house will be demolished and the relocation will be completed. Let’s see what they can do then.” Wu Zhiqi took out his phone and called Manman. Fortunately, the call went through. Manman’s phone was often unreachable.
When Manman saw her grandma's call, a smile appeared on her face. "Grandma, did you miss me?"
"I miss you. It's been so long since you came back. Have you been free lately?"
"Yes, I'll go back in a few days and buy you and Grandpa some delicious food," Manman said playfully.
"Could you take a few days off and come back tomorrow?" Wu Zhiqi was afraid that things might get complicated if she waited too long, so she wanted Manman to come back as soon as possible. After all, Manman's job was special, and she didn't want Fenglan and Manman and her daughter to have a direct confrontation.
Manman: "What's wrong, Grandma? Is something wrong at home?"
“Our area is going to be demolished, so you’ll have to come back and handle your house yourself. I’ll take you to see Grandma’s new house,” Wu Zhiqi said casually.
"Okay, Grandma, I'll go back tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Manman was in a daze for a while. Relocation is not something to rush, and her grandmother didn't need to specifically tell her to take leave and go back.
It must be because her mother wanted the house that her grandmother was in a hurry to send her back to deal with it.
Manman hasn't contacted Fenglan for over ten years. Fenglan doesn't even have Manman's contact information. Apart from meeting once a year at her maternal grandmother's house during the Spring Festival, the mother and daughter have no contact at other times.
The next morning, Manman returned to the courtyard.
"Manman is back!" Aunt Yuan greeted her warmly.
"Grandma Yuan, how's Grandpa Ge doing?" she greeted warmly.
"I'm doing great, and this girl is becoming more and more promising," Grandpa Ge greeted from inside the house.
"Go home first, we can chat again when we have time," Aunt Yuan said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll head back now," Manman said with a smile as she returned to the backyard.
