Chapter 60: Not even worthy of washing my son’s feet
"No need to go in, just get to know the situation outside. Do you have the final say on this house?"
Xia He is very experienced.
The man curled his lips, feeling a little unhappy with Xia He and Bai Zhenzhu's defensiveness. He shouted into the house:
"Old man, someone is watching the house."
Then he yawned loudly and went back to the house to sleep.
Bai Zhenzhu and Xia He both frowned.
Then an uncle came out, who looked to be in his sixties.
"You two girls are buying a house?"
Bai Zhenzhu did not answer directly, but asked:
"Uncle, is there anyone still living in this house of yours?"
The uncle looked a little embarrassed:
"Yes, if you want to buy it, we can move it right away."
Bai Zhenzhu saw that the uncle was wearing a sweatshirt full of holes and had a pair of skinny hands.
He looks much older than Old Man Bai.
Bai Zhenzhu: "Uncle, why do you want to sell the house?"
Seeing that the family didn't seem to be planning to move into a new building, she was curious about the reason for selling the house.
The uncle's expression changed and he said vaguely:
"Something happened at home and I need money. If you really want to buy this house, I can give you a cheaper price of 10,000 yuan. Just give me 10,000 yuan. My house is 60 square meters."
When Xia He heard the price, her eyes lit up.
Ten thousand is indeed not expensive, less than two hundred per square meter, and it seems that you can still bargain.
Xia He was calculating silently in her heart when Bai Zhenzhu said to the uncle:
"Okay uncle, we are just here to ask about the situation today, and then we will discuss it with our parents when we get home."
Then he took Xia He away.
As she left, she felt that the women washing clothes in the yard were looking at them.
Coming out of the community, Xia He looked excited:
"Pearl, I think the house we just mentioned is okay. It's a good deal. But will it be a bit damp if it's on the first floor?"
White Pearl said:
“That house cannot be bought.”
Xia He was puzzled:
"Why?"
White Pearl shook her head:
"I can't really explain it, but I just think there might be something wrong with that house."
Just as I was about to get in the car, a man came out from the community.
"Comrade Bai."
Bai Zhenzhu turned around and saw Nie Lei pushing a bicycle.
Seeing him coming out of Jixiang Community, Bai Zhenzhu was a little surprised:
"Comrade Nie, do you live in this neighborhood?"
Nie Lei looked behind him, then walked to the side and waved to Bai Zhenzhu.
Seeing that he was acting mysteriously, Bai Zhenzhu and Xia He walked over.
Then Nie Lei said bluntly:
"Do you want to buy that house? Don't buy it."
White Pearl: “Is there a problem?”
Nie Lei lowered his voice:
"That family is a bad bunch. The one who opened the door for you just now was their youngest son, a street thug. Their eldest son has been arrested..."
Nie Lei looked around, and Bai Zhenzhu and Xia He came over tacitly.
"I have killed someone."
Bai Zhenzhu and Xia He were surprised.
Xia He was so scared that she slapped her chest:
"How scary! I can't buy this house."
Bai Zhenzhu also reacted. No wonder the uncle asked for a low price. It must be that many people had seen this house.
I am grateful to Nie Lei:
"Thank you, Comrade Nie."
Nie Lei looked at her:
"If you want to buy a house, I know one, but it's a little far from the train station."
Bai Zhenzhu's face lit up with joy:
"Really? It doesn't matter if it's a little further away."
Nie Lei was stunned by her smile, looked at his watch to hide his embarrassment and said:
"I have to rush to work. I'll visit you at your clothing store when I have some time off."
White Pearl: "Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome." Nie Lei got on his bike and rode away.
Xia He's face was full of joking:
"Oh my, this kind of beauty makes people jealous."
White Pearl is helpless:
"I'll find a chance to tell him that I'm married."
Xia He starts the motorcycle:
"You are divorced. Divorce means you are free and can still find someone else."
Bai Zhenzhu hugged Xia He's waist:
"I won't look for it anymore."
Bai Zhenzhu didn't want to talk about this and changed the subject:
"Did you mention the cancellation of the engagement to Miss Wen last night? What did they say?"
Xia He sneered:
"My mother didn't say anything, but my sister-in-law was furious. I'll just get a folding bed and live in the hotel from now on. I'm definitely going to call off the marriage."
Bai Zhenzhu said, "The train station is so big, there must be someone selling a house."
When she returned to the clothing store, Li Yueshu was also shocked to hear that there was a murderer in the family that sold the house.
She has never heard of such a thing happening around her since she was a child. It's too scary.
In the evening, Bai Chenglei and others heard about this and felt that Bai Zhenzhu should not be allowed to go house hunting alone in the future.
"Zhenzhu, if you go to look at houses next time, your second brother will accompany you." Bai Chengxiang said immediately.
This train station has a lot of floating population, so it must be chaotic.
Liu Fang also said:
"It seems that this kind of information can't be believed casually in the future."
The advantage of being together as a family is that you can discuss things and be bolder.
Xia He returned home and thought secretly all night. She decided that her marriage with Xu Qinglin could not be delayed any longer.
Have to retreat.
The next morning, she packed her things and took Wen Fengqin to Xu's house.
Arriving downstairs of Xu's house, Wen Fengqin had a serious expression:
"Are you sure you want to cancel this marriage?"
Xia He nodded heavily:
"We must retreat."
The mother and daughter went upstairs and knocked on the door.
When Xu's mother saw them, her face turned very ugly:
"Xia He, you still have the nerve to come here, look at what you did to my son?"
Xia He threw the things she brought onto the living room floor.
Xu Qinglin happened to be at home. Her face was scratched by Xia He's clothes hanger, and she was embarrassed to go to work.
"Here are all the things Xu Qinglin gave me over the years, as well as the money he spent on treating me to meals and movies. I've counted them all, a total of 120 yuan."
The Xu family was stunned by her.
Xu Qinglin's face also changed drastically. He didn't tell Xia He about her announcement yesterday that she wanted to cancel the engagement, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
His conditions are so good, how could the Xia family be willing to cancel the engagement?
So until this moment, he thought it was Xia He who was making trouble:
"What on earth are you trying to do?"
Wen Fengqin held back her anger and said:
"I heard that Qinglin has a lot of female confidants outside? If that's the case, let's cancel the marriage between our two families."
Xia He said coldly:
"You look down on me as a self-employed person, and I look down on your ugly pretentious faces."
"Break off the engagement? You still have the nerve to bring this up?" Mother Xu was furious:
"A shrew like you is not even worthy of coming in to wash my son's feet."
"Back off, this marriage must be back off!"
Xia He took out a small notebook from her pocket and slapped it on the table:
"I've returned the things Xu Qinglin gave me, but you also have to return the clothes you wore over the years."
"I've calculated it, the total is 1,496 yuan, don't even think about ripping off a cent!"
The Xu family was dumbfounded, and only then did they realize that Xia He really wanted to cancel the engagement.
How could Xu's mother and father afford to lose face when someone showed up at their door to break off the engagement?
Father Xu was so angry that his blood pressure rose:
"Xiao He, I originally thought you were a sensible and good girl, but I didn't expect that you, you..."
Xia He felt sick seeing them like this:
"What's wrong with me? I bought my clothes with my own money, unlike you guys who got them for free. Is it wrong for me to ask you to return them?"
Xu's mother was almost angry to death. She held her heart and went back to her room, counted the money and threw it to Xia He.
Before Xu Qinglin could even react, Xia He broke off the engagement.
Rejected! marriage! it’s done!
