"It doesn't matter if you don't know," Hu Wanning looked at her, "but now we have to get the house back as soon as possible."
She had seen a lot of this sort of thing.
As they occupied the house for a long time, those people started to think of it as their own. The government was also troubled by this kind of thing and didn't want to intervene. Those people, relying on their numbers, might even beat up the owner of the house.
Many people didn’t come back.
Of course Ruan Mingfu knew.
"I'll discuss it with them in a few days."
"In a few days?"
"Your parents are coming?"
Hu Wanning was surprised, but then she thought it was normal. After all, she was her precious daughter, and she had raised her since she was a child. How could she not worry about her after not seeing her for a long time?
"They have been rehabilitated, so of course they have to come and see me."
Speaking of this, Ruan Mingfu was very happy. Although Ms. Luan was a little scary, she was also a kind mother in other ways.
She was still looking forward to their coming.
"That's great."
Hu Wanning was a little envious.
"By the way, bring Xu Zhu over for dinner," Ruan Mingfu thought for a moment, "I'll let my mom show you how to make this soup. I learned how to make it from her."
“So amazing…”
Ruan Mingfu turned into a mother-boasting girl, "Of course, my mother is good at making soup. I have to ask Old Xie to buy a few more pottery jars, in case there are not enough when the time comes."
Since coming to this era, she has never eaten Ms. Luan's food.
To be honest, I am a little greedy...
"Speaking of the pottery jar, something happened yesterday."
Ruan Mingfu pricked up her ears.
"You know Aunt Liu, right?"
She nodded, and the famous military district was stirred into a urine stick, and everyone knew her name.
Ruan Mingfu had little interaction with her.
"Yesterday, Tiezhu's father came back and smashed the pot at Aunt Liu's house."
Ruan Mingfu was shocked.
Oh my god!
Tiezhu's father is so brave that he even dares to provoke troublemakers.
"Sister-in-law, what happened next?"
"Aunt Liu started to make a scene, so Tiezhu's father grabbed her and took her to the headquarters to ask for an explanation," Hu Wanning shook her head in disgust. "Her son came out to apologize, and only then did Tiezhu's father give in."
They all belong to the same military region and are comrades-in-arms, so Tiezhu's father doesn't want to make a big fuss.
But Aunt Liu went too far.
"What did Aunt Liu do again?"
In the family compound, if someone gets into trouble, women will look for women to solve it, and men will look for men to solve it.
I've never heard of a grown man directly causing trouble for a woman.
"You have no conscience," Hu Wanning frowned, "You bully Tiezhu, a child, and make him work under the scorching sun. Tiezhu works from morning till night, and you don't even give him a steamed bun."
Ruan Mingfu now remembered.
It must have been the day she touched the iron pillar.
"I didn't help Tiezhu with the work, but I met him the day before yesterday and slapped him."
Tiezhu's father just came back yesterday.
When he saw the slap mark on his son's face, he could no longer bear it and rushed over to hit him.
Ruan Mingfu sighed, "This is too light."
"ah?"
"No, I'm Aunt Liu," Ruan Mingfu explained. "Why smash the pot? We have to tear down her house as well. Aunt Liu even bullies such a young child. She's such a jerk."
How can he be called a human being? He is even more vicious than the landlords.
"People like this should report her to the army!"
Hu Wanning shook her head.
"Her son is just like Captain Gu, a filial son," she continued, "but he is a sensible man. He knows what his mother did and came to apologize sincerely. Otherwise, Aunt Cai would not have lived next door to her for so long."
That's too much.
For the sake of her son, everyone tolerated it.
Ruan Mingfu was also speechless.
Confused mothers are everywhere, especially in the family housing estates. Aunt Liu and the old lady next door are both troublesome.
"By the way," Hu Wanning pointed in the direction of the Gu family, "Is there any movement over there?"
Ruan Mingfu shook her head, "Very quiet."
If she hadn't seen the clothes hanging out to dry in the yard every day, she would have really thought that there was no one there.
I have to say, Father Gu is really good at doing things.
The matter was resolved almost without a word.
She suddenly remembered, "What about Li Xiaoyue? How is she in the hospital?"
There is no friendship at all.
Ruan Mingfu has been busy recently, and if she hadn't been mentioned just now, I wouldn't have thought of her.
"I don't know," Hu Wanning said the same thing. They were not familiar with each other. "I heard that he hired an old lady from the same ward to take care of him. He was able to get out of bed recently."
"That's good."
The two were about to talk when a voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.
"Is Sister Ruan here?"
Ruan Mingfu looked over and saw a tall and thin man standing at the gate of the courtyard. Even though the door was open, he did not come forward.
"This is Tiezhu's father."
Afraid that Ruan Mingfu didn't recognize him, Hu Wanning lowered her voice and introduced him to her in her ear.
Her heart tightened.
Could it be that Tiezhu’s father came to destroy her house just because she asked Tiezhu to do the work?
But we can’t stop people from coming in.
"The door is not closed, come in."
When she walked in, Ruan Mingfu noticed the iron pillar next to her.
"Hurry up and sit down. Are you here to see Old Xie?"
"No, thanks."
Tiezhu's father looked quite old, and his clothes were all patched up, and he looked like he had not lived a good life.
"I came to thank you," he touched Tiezhu's little head, "I'm away these days, thank you for taking care of him. Here's the money for buying clothes, take it."
In his thick, open palm, there were quite a few crumpled banknotes.
The smallest is one cent, the largest is fifty cents.
I don’t know how long Tiezhu’s father took to save this amount of money.
"No, it's not worth anything," Ruan Mingfu breathed a sigh of relief, but refused. "It's just a few pieces of cloth that I sewed with thread. It just took some time. How can I charge for it?"
Tiezhu's father is very persistent.
"Tiezhu told me that you've been taking good care of him these days."
"You're welcome. Tiezhu even helped me with the work."
Ruan Mingfu didn't like working in the fields. Although Tiezhu was small, he did the work quickly and well, which saved her a lot of worry.
She also felt that she had given too little.
"One thing at a time."
Tiezhu's father looked towards Tiezhu.
Tiezhu quickly said, "Thank you, auntie."
The dirt on his face was cleaned and he was also given a clean set of clothes. It had to be his biological father, who changed Tiezhu's appearance as soon as he came back. Except for being a little thinner, he was almost like a normal child.
"You're welcome. Auntie wants to thank you."
"Sister Ruan, you must accept this money."
Ruan Mingfu shook her head, "No, it's just a piece of rags, how can I ask you for money, take it away quickly."
"Yes," Hu Wanning also advised, "Tiezhu's father, you should take the money back."
Tiezhu's father looked at the money in his hand, his dark eyes filled with unknown thoughts.
Then he withdrew his hand.
Just when Ruan Mingfu breathed a sigh of relief, Tiezhu's father put the money directly on the stool, picked up Tiezhu and ran away.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
In the blink of an eye, Tiezhu's father ran out the door.
“Forget it, just take the money,” Hu Wanning sighed, “Tiezhu’s father had a hard time, and Tiezhu’s mother was ill, so we spent a lot of money. A lot of it was borrowed, and we’ve been paying off the debts for the past few years.”
Ruan Mingfu understood.
She also said that Tiezhu's father at least had an allowance, and their life shouldn't be like this.
In that case, Tiezhu's father is still a responsible man.
Ruan Mingfu collected the money.
Looking at the wrinkled bills, she felt a little uncomfortable. Ruan Mingfu sighed, and she felt that she needed to say a few good words for the army in front of Qi Yangyan.
Hu Wanning whispered, "The one I married later was unhappy and took it out on the iron pillar..."
She didn't know how to comment on this matter.
Ruan Mingfu was shocked.
No wonder the people in the family compound help Tiezhu whenever they can but don't bother his stepmother.
It turns out there is such a mess inside.
"There are many people in the family compound, and there are many strange things." Hu Wanning looked at her and smiled, "You will know when you live here longer. They are not particularly bad, but at least they won't commit crimes."
Ruan Mingfu nodded.
She understood this, just like what she had seen in the village when she was an educated youth.
They are always gossiping about other people, or arguing with one person today and cursing with another person tomorrow. They may fight until their heads are bloodied today, but they may be good brothers again tomorrow.
"By the way—"
Hu Wanning was about to speak when she was interrupted by Gu Yilin who called back.
"Look who I brought with me," she ran over excitedly and grabbed Ruan Mingfu's hand, "your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, why don't you thank me quickly."
When Hu Wanning saw the person coming, her smile fell.
Ruan Mingfu also frowned.
But she saw Xie Yin, whom she had met at the Shanghai Jiaotong University, walking over with an older woman. When her eyes saw the vegetable patch in the yard, she seemed a little disgusted.
When Xie Yin saw her, he was very rude.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't my brother give you money? You made the yard so shabby and still planted vegetables. The Xie family needs the money you saved for buying vegetables..."
"Shut up!"
Xie Yin rolled his eyes.
The smug look on Gu Yilin's face also faded.
She turned to look at Ruan Mingfu and Hu Wanning, and when she saw the expressions on their faces, her heart skipped a beat.
Oops!
Could it be that she brought back two evil guests?
The young nanny looked at Ruan Mingfu calmly, and she felt relieved. She was well-dressed, and after more than ten years of pampered life, she looked very well-maintained and had a noble aura.
You can tell at first glance that she is a noble lady. She no longer looks as timid as she did when she first entered the Xie family twenty years ago.
Her pretty face was full of smiles. "You must be Yan Zhao's daughter-in-law."
Before Ruan Mingfu could say anything, Hu Wanning greeted her indifferently.
"Thank you, auntie."
"It's Wan Ning," the babysitter's eyes twinkled, "I didn't expect you to be here too."
Hu Wanning didn't even glance at the babysitter and just sat down.
Xu Zhu's parents had a long history with the Xie family, and had invited Commander Xie to their wedding. The elders of the two families occasionally interacted with each other, so they were naturally aware of the Xie family's dirty deeds. Hu Wanning also knew how the little nanny got to the top.
If it weren't for the relationship between the two families, she wouldn't even want to say hello to this kind of person.
It’s dirty at first glance!
The little nanny gritted her teeth secretly.
A junior dared to look at her in the eye. Did he really think that she had been in the Xie family for more than a decade in vain?
But before she could think of the next step, Xie Yin, who couldn't stand it anymore, stood up.
"What do you mean?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Mingfu also sat down. She turned her head slightly to look at Xie Yin, as if to say, "What can you do to me?"
Gu Yilin looked left and right, then simply sat down.
In the entire yard, the only people still standing were the nanny and her daughter.
“You, you…” Xie Yin was very angry, “My mother is the elder, and the elders haven’t even sat down yet, do you have any manners?!”
