Chapter 70 Renting a House



She lowered her head, her eyes dark. "Fourth brother, sometimes, not refusing someone means giving them a chance, it means tacit approval. I hope you understand."

Tang Zhan was startled by her light words!

He joined the army at the age of 17 and lived with his comrades in the team for nine years, treating them as brothers and sisters.

Normally, sparring, physical contact, and mutual care were all commonplace, and he really didn't think too much about it.

As for Chu Ying, he also felt that she was unusual towards him.

But at that time, he really had no intention of dating!

Ever since I found out that my mother had arranged a marriage for me as a child, although I was reluctant, I always felt that it was an extra constraint. I thought that even if I wanted to date, I should first settle the family affairs.

He had frankly discussed this with his comrades, with Chu Ying also present. After that, he deliberately avoided being alone with Chu Ying.

But I didn't expect Chu Ying to be so persistent! He even made his wife angry.

He was panic-stricken and at a loss.

I didn't know how to make my wife feel better. I hesitated for a long time, and finally I couldn't control myself and went forward to hug her, as if only this could ease the uneasiness in my heart.

"Wife, I was wrong!"

Wen Guoer was held tightly in his arms, as if she would run away if he loosened his grip a little, making her breathless.

After struggling to break free, his anger subsided a lot.

I used to only know that exercise can produce dopamine, but now it seems that resistance, struggle, and temper tantrums can also produce dopamine.

The release of dopamine made her feel playful.

"Confess and be lenient; resist and be strict. Tell me, what's going on between you and her?"

"There's nothing going on between her and me!" Tang Zhan responded subconsciously!

Seeing that his young wife was staring at him with her eyes narrowed, he thought for a moment and then told him everything that had happened between them.

He really didn't want his wife to have any misunderstandings anymore.

"Did she go on the mission with you this time?" Wen Guoer frowned and asked playfully, thinking of the rumors in the compound.

"These are all tasks assigned by the higher-ups. I have my tasks, and she has hers!" Tang Zhan bit her lip in dissatisfaction. "Wife, remember to use the word 'together' only for the two of us from now on."

Wen Guoer then looked at him with satisfaction. She hadn't seen him for more than ten days and she missed him.

His resolute face had become thinner, with clearer lines, forming a sharp contrast with the tenderness in his eyes. She was enjoying his exclusive favor at this moment.

According to legend, crocodiles shed tears before eating people to show their compassion and to paralyze them.

At this moment, she seemed to understand a little bit! She understood crocodile tears and also understood the paralyzed people.

Tang Zhan looked at her little face and felt distressed: "Wife, you have lost weight!"

Wen Guoer touched her belly, looked up, and said happily, "I'm having a bit of a pregnancy reaction. I can't eat much."

"Wife, I regret it!" He said with a serious expression.

"Hmm?" She frowned.

"I shouldn't have let you have a baby so early!" He held her in his arms, caressed her belly, and his heart softened.

Tang Zhan has two days of vacation after returning from his mission.

Wen Guoer told him that she wanted to help her third brother rent a warehouse in the commune to store supplies from other places.

Tang Zhan didn't ask any more questions and took her to the commune on bike.

The two of them asked along the way and actually found two households that wanted to rent out their properties.

The first house has more rooms, with five rooms in the north, three rooms in the east and three rooms in the west. The yard is about 60 square meters, and there are two sycamore trees planted on the west side. They look quite old!

The landlord wants to rent it for 7 dollars a month.

The other household had only three north-facing rooms and a larger yard, about 150 square meters. The landlord wanted 4 yuan a month, but the rent had to be paid in full for six months.

Wen Guoer thought that she just wanted to store some things and didn't need so many rooms, so she decided to rent it.

The landlord was an old man in his fifties who kept urging them to pay quickly. He kept looking towards the door, seeming very anxious.

Tang Zhan checked the house inside and out, and seeing that it was still solid and there were no signs of leaks on the roof, he nodded to her.

Wen Guoer took out the money and was about to hand it to the old man when a man rushed in from outside the door.

The man was startled when he saw Wen Guoer, then turned his gaze to the old man: "Dad, if you rent out the house, where will Xiufen and I live?"

The old man glanced at him sideways, clearly lacking confidence: "Isn't there a room in that old house? You two can move there with me, so that the whole family can have someone to take care of it."

"Dad, you also said there is only one room. How are the three of us going to live here?" Li Dazhu was angry and helpless. He squatted on the ground and sighed.

"Why can't we live here? Didn't we live here before with a family of more than a dozen people?" The old man said confidently, his hands behind his back. "The family spent so much money on marrying you a wife, shouldn't you think about the family?"

"Marry me? You know she's marrying me!" The man stood up suddenly, pointed at the old man's face and yelled, "Don't think I don't know the dirty things you've done!"
