Chapter 121 Cleaning up the storage room
"They moved in here?" Xu Shanshan asked, her facial muscles twitching uncontrollably.
Wang Chunlan, clutching her apron, nodded. "...Yes, that's what the commander said."
Xu Shanshan was so angry that she didn't say a word for a long time.
Wang Chunlan waited for a while, and seeing that she didn't seem to intend to say anything more, she said, "Madam, I'll go and get ready."
She had just turned around when Xu Shanshan's shrill voice rang out, "What's the rush?"
"Go and wake Qianqian up!"
"Can……"
Xu Shanshan's fierce gaze immediately swept over.
Wang Chunlan could only meekly reply, "Yes!"
She naturally couldn't wake Wen Qianqian and instead received a scolding: "Are you trying to die?"
"Didn't I tell you yesterday not to call me, not to call me? Can't you even understand human speech?"
Wang Chunlan could only come down and say to Xu Shanshan, "Madam, Miss Qianqian doesn't want to get up yet."
Xu Shanshan immediately snapped at her, "She doesn't want to get up? If she doesn't want to get up, why didn't you call her?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Chunlan lowered her head and dared not speak.
But Xu Shanshan said again, "Go and call again."
Wang Chunlan had no choice but to go up again.
When she went upstairs, Wen Qianqian scolded her; when she came downstairs, Xu Shanshan was watching her intently.
Finally, with no other option, Wang Chunlan resigned herself to fate and said, "It was my wife who told me to wake you up."
Wen Qianqian was completely exhausted and couldn't sleep anymore. She got up, glared at Wang Chunlan, then slipped on her slippers and rushed downstairs, yelling, "You wait, you wait, I'll ask my mom..."
"Mom, Mom..." she called as she ran downstairs.
"Mom, you need to do something about Wang Chunlan!" she shouted as she rushed downstairs and stomped her feet.
But she soon noticed that Xu Shanshan's complexion was not good, so she restrained herself and went to Xu Shanshan's side. "Mom, what's wrong?" Wen Qianqian asked softly.
Xu Shanshan didn't want to appear defeated in front of her, so she simply turned her face away and looked out the window with a lonely and sad expression.
Wen Qianqian finally realized that something must have happened. She went over and put her arms around Xu Shanshan's shoulders, playing the role of a caring daughter. "Mom, what happened?"
"Tell me about it, maybe I can help!"
Hugging Wen Qianqian and listening to her warm words, Xu Shanshan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and spoke up, "That old woman is bringing her adopted granddaughter back to live here."
"What?" Wen Qianqian screamed instinctively.
She hurriedly moved to Xu Shanshan's side, trying to confirm the truth of the matter from the expression on Xu Shanshan's face.
But it's obvious that Xu Shanshan had no reason to joke about this with her.
"She...they've all come back to live here?"
"Live with us?"
Xu Shanshan nodded.
At this moment, Wang Chunlan said again, "Madam, I'm going to tidy up the room."
"Stop!" Wang Chunlan was about to turn around when Wen Qianqian called out to her.
Before Xu Shanshan could say anything, Wen Qianqian asked, "Did they say how many people are coming to stay?"
“They say it’s the old lady, the old man, and Miss Zhizhi,” Wang Chunlan replied truthfully.
Wen Qianqian pouted, "That vixen's man went back to Jiangcheng with Second Brother?"
Wang Chunlan nodded, "It should be!"
Wen Qianqian cursed even more, "Then what's that vixen doing staying in Beijing?"
"Could it be that she's staying here to cheat on her husband?"
Wang Chunlan dared not answer, and could only lower her head very low.
Wen Qianqian didn't expect her to answer. After venting her anger, she said, "I'll tell you which two rooms to clean."
Wang Chunlan nodded honestly, "Yes!"
There's an empty room downstairs, which used to be where He Yuzhi and Wen Runxiang lived. After they left, no one lived there, so it's been empty. Now that you're back, you can just move in directly; you don't need Wen Qianqian to point it out.
However, there is also a storage room on the first floor, next to the toilet. It is poorly lit and cramped.
Wen Qianqian pointed to the storage room and said, "Clean this room up and give it to that vixen to live in."
Before Wang Chunlan could retort, Wen Qianqian continued, "I heard that vixen is pregnant?"
“It’s not suitable for pregnant women to climb stairs. If they accidentally fall and miscarry, that would be terrible. This place is fine, no need to climb up and down.”
Xu Shanshan told Wen Qianqian about Zhizhi's pregnancy.
Wen Qianqian curled her lips upon hearing this, saying, "So slutty, having a child with a man at such a young age," her words echoing Xu Shanshan's.
But Xu Shanshan didn't say anything at the time.
For some reason, when she spoke to herself, she felt that her words were not vicious enough, but when Wen Qianqian spoke, she felt a bitter taste in her mouth.
But she picked up the teacup and took a sip of the warm tea, which suppressed the bitterness in her heart.
This time, Wen Qianqian made Wen Zhizhi stay in the storage room again. Although Xu Shanshan felt it was not good, when she heard Wen Qianqian say that Wen Zhizhi was pregnant and it was not suitable for her to climb stairs, she felt that Wen Qianqian was a kind child.
Wang Chunlan felt it was inappropriate to let Wen Zhizhi live in the storage room, and kept glancing at Xu Shanshan, hoping she would say something. After all, if Xu Shanshan didn't say anything, she, as the aunt, could only do as she was told.
But Xu Shanshan raised her chin and told her, "Listen to Qianqian."
Wang Chunlan: "..."
She looked at the storage room, which was even smaller than the maid's room where she lived, her mouth moving, but in the end she didn't say anything.
The room where He Yuzhi and Wen Runxiang used to live is now easy to clean. All they need to do is clean it and put on clean blankets and sheets.
It's the storage room, which is a bit more troublesome.
Not only do we have to clear out all the clutter, but there isn't even a bed ready inside.
Wen Qianqian pointed to a narrow bed board in the storage room and said, "Find two long benches, or you can go outside and bring back some bricks, just prop them up wherever you like, and she can sleep there."
Wang Chunlan: "...Will this...will this work?"
Wen Qianqian immediately retorted sarcastically, "Why don't you just pay for a bed for her?"
Wang Chunlan immediately shut up.
After tidying things up outside, in the yard, Wang Chunlan secretly slapped herself across the face, saying, "Serves you right for being so talkative..."
Before she could even lower her hand, Wen Qianqian's voice came from inside the house again, "Wang Chunlan, what are you doing? Hiding outside to slack off, huh?"
Wang Chunlan quickly ran into the house, saying, "No, no, I just threw the things in the yard and came in."
This time, Xu Shanshan surprisingly spoke up for Wang Chunlan, saying, "It's not something urgent, so let's take it slow!"
As she spoke, she pointed to the sofa next to her and said, "Come sit with Mom for a while. What are you doing over there?"
"Sit here and rest."
Wen Qianqian sat down next to Xu Shanshan in a coquettish voice, hugged Xu Shanshan's arm and said in a spoiled tone, "I'm just afraid that Wang Chunlan will slack off!"
Xu Shanshan didn't care. "Let her be. She can't fix it up properly anyway, it's not like it's for us to live in."
Upon hearing this, Wen Qianqian immediately leaned on Xu Shanshan's shoulder and said, "Mom is right!"
Xu Shanshan asked Wen Qianqian if she was hungry, and Wen Qianqian touched her stomach and said, "I am a little hungry."
Xu Shanshan said, "You still need to eat breakfast from now on. Even if you eat before you sleep, it's better than going hungry."
"If you stay hungry for too long, it's not a good thing," Xu Shanshan said, getting up to cook wontons for Wen Qianqian.
