Chapter 24 says his grandmother died.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door slammed shut from the inside.
Xie Hongchao and the others were dumbfounded.
Especially Xie Hongchao and Wei Guihua.
Tian Fang and Xie Lanlan both lived in the countryside and didn't immediately realize what a landlord was.
But Xie Hongchao and Wei Guihua understood that Xie Zhizhi had rented the house to someone else.
They wanted to cause trouble here, but Xie Zhizhi won't have the chance.
Tian Fang didn't understand, so she asked her son, "What did that person mean?"
Xie Hongchao said with a bitter face, "He said Xie Zhizhi rented this house to him."
"Then what?"
"Then, someone else paid to rent the house, and now they live there, Xie Zhizhi isn't here."
"Where did she go?" Tian Fang asked.
Xie Hongchao and Wei Guihua exchanged a glance and realized the problem as well, and there was an even more serious problem.
"Yeah, where did she go?"
"And Xiao Xie, where did she take Xiao Xie?" Wei Guihua cried out in panic.
"Bang!" The door was pulled open again.
The tenants inside the door appeared in front of the family looking menacing. "If you want to argue, go argue downstairs. If you keep arguing in front of the door, I'll kill you."
The other man was tall and muscular, and his face was contorted with rage from lack of sleep. Xie Hongchao was terrified and didn't even have the courage to shout.
Once the family was downstairs, Wei Guihua continued her frantic screams, "Where did she take Xiao Xie?"
"She doesn't live here, so how will Xiaoxie go to school?"
Xie Lanlan glanced back upstairs. "Could that person be someone she hired to put on an act and deceive me?"
Xie Hongchao's eyes lit up. "That's possible!"
He looked back upstairs, then nudged Xie Lanlan, "Go ask her."
Xie Lanlan: Why her?
Seeing her unwilling look, Tian Fang said irritably, "You just go because your brother tells you to? Look at how lazy you are. It's your own brother's business, and you act like this. What can I expect from you in the future?"
"If I had known you would turn out like this, I would have been better off..."
Before Tian Fang could continue her tirade, Xie Lanlan stammered, "I...I'll go ask, okay?"
"Hurry up and go, stop dawdling," Tian Fang said, still annoyed.
Xie Lanlan could only go upstairs, looking back every few steps.
She knocked on the door again, and the tenant inside opened it like an enraged bull.
He almost punched her in the face, but when he saw it was a woman, he angrily put his fist down and said, "Can't you understand human language?"
"I told you, the house is rented to us, it's rented to us, don't you understand?"
Seeing that he didn't intend to lay a hand on her, Xie Lanlan mustered her courage and asked, "You said you rented it to me, do you have any proof?"
"What if Xie Zhizhi asked you to act in a play?"
Tenant "???"
The tenant turned around angrily and quickly brought out a piece of paper with a handwritten rental agreement on it.
He held the paper up to Xie Lanlan's face. "Can you read?" She pointed to the words on the paper. "Rental contract. I've paid six months' rent. Can you understand it?"
"Can we walk now?"
Xie Lanlan really couldn't understand it, so she called downstairs, "Hongchao, he said there's some kind of rental contract, but I don't understand it."
Xie Hongchao looked up and said, "I'm here."
As he spoke, he quickly ran upstairs.
As soon as Xie Hongchao arrived, the man shoved the rental contract right in his face again, saying, "Open your eyes and look carefully. This is the rental contract. I've already paid for it."
"Again, I'll really mess with you."
"Fuck your mother, you're all idiots!" With that, the door slammed down in front of the siblings.
Xie Hongchao cursed silently for a while in front of the closed door before going downstairs with Xie Lanlan.
Once downstairs, Xie Hongchao cursed, "That money-losing Xie Zhizhi really managed to rent out the house."
"I think she's got a death wish," Tian Fang cursed with a sinister look on her face, as if she could easily control Xie Zhizhi.
Only Wei Guihua was genuinely worried about her son. "She rented out the house and doesn't live here anymore, so what about Xiao Xie?"
"Where did Xiao Xie put it?"
Xie Lanlan said, "We can't exactly take it back to our hometown, can we?"
Tian Fang immediately retorted, "If she dares to take my grandson back, I'll pull out all her hair."
Xie Hongchao thought for a moment and said, "She probably isn't that bold."
"Her husband still has a place to stay in the army, so he probably took Xiaoxie there to live."
"What about Xiaoxie going to school?" Wei Guihua asked again.
Xie Hongchao, growing impatient with the question, snapped, "How would I know if you're asking me?"
"I was the one leading the child, wasn't I?"
"Ask, ask, ask! All you do is ask! Don't you have a brain?!"
Wei Guihua was yelled at by Xie Hongchao and received eye-rolls from Tian Fang and her daughter Xie Lanlan. She was furious, but dared not react.
Who can blame them when the Xie family is living such a comfortable life!
With Xie Zhizhi as her blood bank, she could not only live in the city, but also do no work at all. All she had to do every day was eat, sleep, and watch her children go to school.
The key point is that Xie Zhizhi gives them a lot of money every month.
She can't expect to find a man who earns that much money on her own.
"Go to Xiaoxie's school and see if he's there, then we'll know."
"Let's talk about it if we're not at school!"
Upon hearing Xie Hongchao say this, Wei Guihua immediately turned around and ran out of the courtyard.
Tian Fang and the others followed behind.
When we arrived at school...
"What?"
"Teacher, you said Xiaoxie asked for leave and didn't come today?"
"Yes, Aunt Zhou brought him here to ask for leave, saying that his grandmother passed away!"
Tian Fang, who was following behind Xie Hongchao and Wei Guihua, was so angry when she heard her teacher's words that she trembled and almost fainted.
"Bullshit..."
Xie Hongchao had just finished scolding when he saw the teacher's displeased expression, so he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, teacher, I wasn't meant to hurt you, I wasn't meant to hurt you..."
The teacher didn't want to talk to them at all because of their swearing, and simply made an excuse that she had something to do and turned away.
Xie Hongchao and the others were left at the school gate, looking like the sky had fallen.
"My little Xie, my son..." Wei Guihua burst into tears.
Xie Hongchao kicked her directly and said, "What are you howling about?"
"My son isn't dead."
Wei Guihua shut her mouth.
Xie Hongchao asked Tian Fang, "That bitch really took Xiao Xie home."
Tian Fang had no idea. She just said irritably, "You're a bit dim-witted too. You handed the child over to her, didn't you know to follow her and see what was going on?"
"How could she be so careless as to actually let her take the child away!"
Xie Hongchao retorted irritably, "What's the point of saying all this now? You came, and she took Xiao Xie home. Didn't you come for nothing?"
Xie Lanlan spoke up for Tian Fang, saying, "Wasn't it you who called and urged them?"
Xie Hongchao immediately glared at her and said, "What's it to you?"
Xie Lanlan was a little angry when she saw that he was being rude to her.
Seeing that the siblings were about to start arguing, Tian Fang scolded them, "Alright, what's all the arguing about?"
Will arguing help?
"I wonder if she really took Xiao Xie home."
"Make a phone call back to your hometown and ask someone to go and check on things."
