Grandma Li's leg ailment is very serious, and she now needs to use a cane to walk.
“Your uncles’ barbershop is just starting out, and they’re not comfortable leaving the old lady alone at home.”
Zhou Sui took the rag from her and wiped the coffee table clean. "What do my uncles mean by this?"
For some reason, she always felt that Li Fuyou and his group couldn't possibly be up to anything good.
It's true that the barbershop is just starting out, but the one with the skills is Zhao Xiaohua, not Li Fuyou. He doesn't need to be at the barbershop every day; he can stay at home to take care of Grandma Li.
"Your uncle and his family are thinking of bringing the old lady to town."
The barbershop that Li Fuyou and his family rented had a courtyard attached to the back, but it was very cramped, so there wasn't any extra space for Old Lady Li to live in.
Sure enough, Li Qiuju said, "Your uncle asked me if I could rent out the newly allocated apartment to them."
Zhou Sui raised an eyebrow. "Rent?"
She must have heard right. Li Fuyou even knew how to rent. When he found out that the Zhou family had been relocated and received a house, Old Lady Li came directly to Li Qiuju's door to ask for it.
Zhou Sui happened to be home, so they simply closed the door and left her on the street without a care.
"Yes, they said they would pay our rent according to the market price."
"So you agree?" Zhou Sui asked.
After all, Li Qiuju sometimes falls for the tactic of feigning retreat to advance.
Li Qiuju shook her head. "I said I'd like to discuss it with you and Axu."
After all, one of these two houses is for Zhou Sui and the other is for Zhou Xu. Whether to leave them empty or rent them out, the children need to give their opinion.
Zhou Sui was relieved when she heard that she hadn't agreed; it wasn't that she wanted to think the worst of the person.
There are so many houses in town, Li Fuyou could easily rent one if he really wanted to. Why did he have to rent the Zhou family's house? Zhou Sui felt that things weren't that simple.
But Li Qiuju didn't seem to realize this, and was still feeling gratified.
“I was thinking they would move in right away, renting would be fine too.”
“Your uncle and his family have gradually built up their business over the past two years, so paying the rent shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Zhou Sui didn't voice her thoughts, and it was normal for Li Qiuju, as the older sister, to be happy to see her younger brother grow up.
"There's still more than a month until the Lunar New Year, so it's not realistic to bring people to town now. It'll probably have to wait until after the New Year. We'll see then."
Zhou Sui thought she should put this matter off for now, and only after a long time would she be able to find out what Li Fuyou and his group were really up to.
"That's true, it's not easy to move her before the New Year." Otherwise, we would have just moved the old lady to town and then had to move her back before the New Year, which would be too much trouble.
It was warm inside, and Zhou Sui felt her throat was a little dry. She leaned forward and reached for the kettle to pour herself a drink.
Li Qiuju felt something dazzling flash past her eyes. She blinked and looked at Zhou Sui's wrist.
