Chapter 061 Xia He Buys a House
When Xia He arrived at the train station, she ran to tell Bai Zhenzhu that she had broken off the engagement without even having time to open the shop.
He looked happier than ever before:
"I settled accounts with Xu Qinglin. I returned all the things he gave me. He and his family wore my clothes and I paid him back for more than a thousand dollars."
"This broken marriage is finally over. I don't have to be disgusted by the Xu family anymore."
After saying this, his face fell again:
"I have packed my things and will go buy a folding bed to sleep in the store."
Xia He didn't seem very angry when she said this, perhaps because she was used to it.
Some people's hearts cannot be warmed or fed.
Just said leisurely:
"Ever since I started selling clothes, she has been given two sets of clothes every year. People think it's my duty to show my filial piety."
"I live at home and I pay for my meals, but people still say I eat her food and use her things. If I want to eat, I eat my mother's food. It's my mother who uses her pension to subsidize the family."
Bai Zhenzhu knew that Xia He was talking about her sister-in-law, so she couldn't comment and could only comfort her:
"It's a good thing to retire someone you don't like, so you can be happier. If you don't feel comfortable living at home, you can move out."
"It's just that your store is full of goods, and it's not habitable. Come to my place. If you don't want to squeeze in with Shuo Shuo and me, you can sleep on the sofa upstairs if you don't mind. It's better than your store."
Some shops in the market are occupied by residents because they were planned from the beginning and have special living areas. Some shops are relatively large and some have two floors like restaurants.
The two streets where clothes are sold are all bungalows, and even washing and brushing teeth is a problem when living in them.
Xia He was not shy either:
"You are my biological sister."
As a result, just after lunch, Xia He came running over excitedly and said that someone was selling a house in the market and wanted to ask Bai Zhenzhu to go with her to see it.
Bai Zhenzhu went with her.
The house is also behind the market, next to Shuo Shuo’s kindergarten and Xingfu Community.
It's not on the street, it's in an alley.
The house is not a building, but a small bungalow in a large yard.
There were a total of six families living in the yard. When Bai Zhenzhu and Xia He entered, they saw two women washing clothes on the washing table in the yard.
Seeing the unfamiliar faces, one of the younger ones smiled and asked:
"Are you here to see the house?"
Xia He also smiled and said, "Yes, sister, which family wants to sell the house?"
Another older sister shouted towards the east:
"Grandma Liu, someone is watching the house."
Then a gray-haired old lady opened the door and came out, smiling:
"I just announced this morning that I was going to sell the house, but I didn't expect someone would come to see it so soon. Girl, come in."
The eldest sister also said to Bai Zhenzhu and Xia He:
"You guys go in and take a look. Granny Liu is the only one at her house right now."
Xia He thanked them and went in with Bai Zhenzhu. She heard the two elder sisters say:
"What a good girl."
Although the house is a bungalow, the interior is quite nice, with white walls and is bright.
Granny Liu is also a hard-working person and keeps the house clean.
The house has two bedrooms and a living room. One of the bedrooms is divided into two small rooms. There is even a small open space behind the kitchen where some seasonal vegetables such as peppers and eggplants are planted.
The only drawback is that there is no bathroom and several families share one public toilet.
But this family built a shower room outside the kitchen, which is a good thing.
Granny Liu took the initiative to introduce the situation at home:
"My grandson has grown up, and I want to talk about a granddaughter-in-law. This house is too small for him to live in."
The old lady was full of pride:
"My son bought an apartment. It's very big, with three bedrooms. It's already been renovated."
"It's just expensive, and I need to buy furniture. I have no money left, so I have no choice but to sell this old house."
Xia He was quite tempted. The house was not far from the market, and she felt that the people in the courtyard were quite nice.
"Grandma Liu, how much do you plan to sell it for?"
Granny Liu paused:
"My son said he wants to sell it for 15,000."
Bai Zhenzhu asked: "Grandma Liu, do you have the property certificate for your house? What is the area written on it?"
Xia He nodded beside her and said, "Yes, this is very important."
Granny Liu: "I have the property ownership certificate. This house was allocated to my son by his work unit. I have the property ownership certificate, but I can't remember the area on it. You have to ask my son."
Obviously, Granny Liu has no say in the matter.
Xia He asked Granny Liu about the time her son was home and made an appointment to come back in the evening.
Xia He is an impatient person, and she wants to learn from Bai Zhenzhu. She can complete the formalities in the morning and move in in the evening, so she doesn't have to bother Bai Zhenzhu.
White Pearl said she:
"You can't rush it. Even if you complete the formalities today, you can't move in tonight. They're still living there."
"Yes." Xia He was deflated and said embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry to bother you."
White Pearl smiled and said:
"What's the trouble?"
When I returned to the market, I saw Wen Fengqin waiting at the door of Xia He Clothing Store.
She felt a little embarrassed when she saw Bai Zhenzhu:
"Pearl, where have you been?"
White Pearl smiled and said:
"Miss Wen, I'm going to go look at a house with Sister Xia He. You guys can continue chatting while I go back to the store."
Xia He opened the door and said:
"You go back. My mom and I will go there tonight. I will go directly to your restaurant after we are done."
After entering the store, Wen Fengqin said unhappily:
"You're usually very fierce, so you really move out when she says something to you?"
Xia He was busy tidying up her clothes:
"What else? Are you really waiting for her to divorce my brother?"
"I don't want to be blamed for this, and I don't want you to be caught in the middle and suffer."
Wen Fengqin sighed:
"Why didn't you realize she was such a piece of shit? Your brother is also a loser. He doesn't dare to say a word when his wife says that."
Xia He said in a muffled voice:
"She's right. Xiaofeng is old enough to sleep with you all the time. Don't worry, I've found a house. Come with me to check it out tonight."
She just didn't understand. It had always been her room, the room where she had slept since she was a child.
Why does he become your nephew now?
She refused and was accused of being an aunt trying to steal the family property from her nephew.
But it seems like this is the case in every household. When girls grow up and get married, they seem to become outsiders.
There are indeed few people like her who are still unmarried at the age of 25.
She didn't argue anymore, after all, her mother still had to live in that house.
Every time they quarreled, Wen Fengqin was the saddest.
Wen Fengqin took out a handkerchief from her pocket, opened it, and found a stack of money inside.
"Mom's pension isn't that high, and I didn't save much after your dad passed away. Here's two thousand, take it."
Xia He's eyes suddenly turned red:
"I have money, I don't want yours."
Her mother has to subsidize the family from time to time, so it is not easy to save some money.
Wen Fengqin stuffed the money into Xia He's pocket:
"Just take it if you give it to me. Most of it is from your filial piety. If not you, who else can I give it to?"
Xia He took the money and made an excuse to go to the warehouse to count the goods, wiping away her tears madly.
Sometimes she gets angry at her mother for not speaking up for her.
But she wanted to cancel the engagement and get rid of the rich husband that everyone was talking about.
When her mother heard that Xu Qinglin was still seeing another girl, she took her to cancel the engagement without saying a word, no matter how her sister-in-law tried to try to stop her.
In the evening, Xia He rode a motorcycle to the restaurant.
In addition to a bag of clothes, he also brought a cured pork leg.
Bai Zhenzhu: "Why is there a pig's leg?"
Xia He: "My mother asked me to bring it."
Then he said to Bai Chenglei:
"Brother, please stew it for us later as a snack."
