Jiang Yi finished his meal and was about to meditate and cultivate. Although he did not want to pursue this path in the future, he was not opposed to cultivation.
Only by improving my cultivation level can I prevent my appearance from aging easily. If I walk with Xiangyun in the future and people think we are from two different generations, that would be a real joke.
Before we could even get into the swing of things, there was a knock on the door.
These neighbors rarely come to knock on the door. Could it be that something has happened to the Hua family?
As soon as he opened the door, Jiang Yi regretted it; he should have asked while he was still inside.
Since they didn't usually keep in touch, Jiang Yi wanted to close the door again, but Zhou Xiaolan stopped him.
"Comrade Jiang Yi, we have come here to ask you something. Let's go inside and talk." No matter what, going inside first was the only solution Zhou Xiaolan could think of in such a short time.
Jiang Yi, pressing against the door, said, "I have nothing to say to you. Besides, I don't think we have any connection. Isn't it a bit impolite to come here at this time?"
Everyone's life is stressful these days, who would be willing to come over during mealtimes?
Although he had already eaten his fill, this was the bare minimum of courtesy.
Although the door was only slightly ajar, he could clearly see that both of the people in front of him were carrying things, so he didn't think they were there to deliver gifts.
“We’ve run into some trouble this time,” He Ping’an said, feeling that there was no grudge between them and that Jiang Yi would probably be willing to help out.
Jiang Yi: "If you encounter difficulties, go back to your parents. What does that have to do with me?"
It's utterly baffling. It seems these two are a bit off their minds. If he continues to argue with them, he might catch their quirks. To avoid becoming stupid and being disliked by his wife, he'd better not have too much contact with them.
As he was saying this, he prepared to slam the door shut, but Zhou Xiaolan's hand got stuck in the crack of the door.
"Move your hand away, or I won't be polite." Jiang Yi was also very annoyed by her provocation. If she didn't let go, he wouldn't mind teaching her a lesson. After all, he didn't believe in the saying "I won't hit a woman."
Zhou Xiaolan shook her head vigorously, "We've all been kicked out of our homes and have nowhere to go. We'd like to stay here for a few days. Don't worry, we'll move out as soon as we find a place to stay."
Jiang Yi said, "...Have you forgotten that I am Xiangyun's boyfriend? If I remember correctly, you two have a history of grudges." Based on that alone, you have no right to ask for help.
But he underestimated the other party's shamelessness. Zhou Xiaolan said, "We apologized when we should apologize, and we compensated when we should compensate. What grudge is there?"
I don't think Comrade Jiang Yi is the kind of person to hold grudges. So much time has passed; why bring it up again?
Jiang Yi chuckled, "I'm really sorry, but I always put my partner first. If she doesn't like something, I generally won't welcome it. Now, either you reach out your hand, or I won't be so polite."
Zhou Xiaolan remained unmoved. "Comrade Jiang Yi, people should help each other. It's just a matter of lifting a finger for you now. We won't disturb you if we move in, and we can even help you tidy up the yard."
Living alone in ten or so rooms is far too extravagant; this is a bad idea of indulging in pleasure..."
Jiang Yi blocked the door with a little force, and Zhou Xiaolan immediately cried out in pain. She never expected Jiang Yi to suddenly make a move, and felt like her hand was about to break.
He Ping'an was also startled. Before coming, Zhou Xiaolan had promised him that she would definitely take him to stay. Was a fight about to break out? He quietly took half a step back.
Jiang Yi applied pressure, and Zhou Xiaolan's face slowly turned pale. "Let go, let go, it'll break soon."
Jiang Yi relaxed a little, and Zhou Xiaolan quickly pulled her hand back. Before she could check the injury on her hand, the door slammed shut in front of them.
Zhou Xiaolan didn't care about anything else at the moment and quickly checked her hands, only to find that there were some red marks, but nothing else.
He Ping'an's face darkened. The door was closed, and he could even hear it being bolted. They were once again turned away.
Zhou Xiaolan kicked the door a few times, knowing they wouldn't open it again, then spat fiercely, "Capitalist ways..."
He Ping'an picked up his clothes and walked out. Zhou Xiaolan quickly asked, "Where are you going?"
"Where else can we go? It's getting dark, let's hurry to the guesthouse and make do for the night."
Why don't you go back to your parents' home and beg them? See if they'll take us in.
Zhou Xiaolan's face stiffened. "Why don't you go and beg your parents? No matter what, I'm still married into your family."
Staying in a guesthouse isn't so bad; we can figure out a solution later.
He Ping'an said, "It's so easy for you to say. You don't even bother to check your own pockets. Where do you get the audacity to say such things?"
"Oh, right, I shared some money with you before. Take it here, I'll put it all together for management."
Speaking of money, He Ping'an thought of the money he had given Zhou Xiaolan several times before, which totaled more than ten yuan.
Zhou Xiaolan pursed her lips. "I've already returned them to others. Otherwise, where do you think I got the money to buy things back?"
He Ping'an stared at her for a long time before laughing angrily, "So you had already dug a trap, waiting for me to jump in."
Zhou Xiaolan retorted, "Don't put it so harshly. I didn't force you."
Besides, we're all in this together now, how could I possibly harm you?
Once we've settled on a place to live, we can work things out properly; it'll be much better than you just sitting on that meager salary.
She had already decided that He Ping'an, having tasted the sweetness of success, would not give up what he had already gained.
So what if she schemes against him? As long as they share common interests, he can only endure it no matter how much he dissatisfies him.
Besides, every family has its ups and downs. Once he's calmed down, we can coax him a little, and then we can make sure we can get back to normal life together.
Sure enough, He Ping'an walked forward silently after hearing this.
Zhou Xiaolan smiled smugly. It seemed that things were going as she had predicted. Once they got through the toughest times, they would be the envy of others.
Jiang Yi made sure the person had left before turning around and going into the room.
I really hope the wedding date comes soon, otherwise situations like this will continue to occur.
We should also promote the development of welfare housing in county towns, so that everyone won't just be eyeing their own few small rooms.
When they finish their exams and leave at the end of the year, considering their status as university students, I doubt I'll dare to force them.
Zhou Xiaolan was really naive, thinking that if she let them in first out of politeness, they could successfully stay.
To be honest, he'd seen plenty of scoundrels like this. Even if he could get rid of them later, he wouldn't want these two to come in.
The commotion here was definitely noticed by others. The place is only so big, so it quickly reached Tian Guihua and the others' ears.
The family couldn't believe that there could be such a shameless person in the world.
