Chapter 188 Moving into Wang Jinghui's House
Then she asked the police officer, "What are they doing here?"
She assumed the landlady was blaming her for hitting her, so she immediately pointed at the landlady and said, "She stole my things! I went back to my hometown for the New Year, and she stole my clothes, shoes, and scarf..."
The police officer said somewhat awkwardly, "Zhang Chun said she was just looking around and has already returned everything."
Xu Shanshan was a little stunned. "Take a look?"
The landlady immediately nodded, "Yes, I was just curious. You have so many nice clothes, so I just wanted to take a look. I didn't mean to take any. I was just looking."
Xu Shanshan took a deep breath to find her voice, "I locked the door, and you sneaked in while I wasn't home and took my clothes. That's stealing, what do you mean 'look'?"
The landlady objected, saying, "That's my house. I can go in whenever I want. How is that stealing?"
This one sentence made Xu Shanshan choke on her words. She had a thousand accusations to say, but they were all silenced by the other person's words, "That's my house."
She was a proud person, an extremely proud person, and she couldn't accept that, having lived more than half her life, she was living under someone else's roof.
At that moment, she suddenly understood the saying: "When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head."
She would never have stooped to losing face over two hundred dollars before, but when faced with the theft of her last savings on the train, she went completely mad, chasing the thief like a madwoman, and then broke down in tears.
Today, even though the woman in front of him was clearly in the wrong, someone's words, "my house," silenced her.
She was no longer able to utter those accusatory and contemptuous words towards the other person.
It's all because it's someone else's house...
Xu Shanshan gripped the hand that was lying beside her tightly and gritted her teeth as she replied, "I'll move from there when I'm discharged from the hospital."
Upon hearing this, the landlady curled her lip and said, "Move out if you want."
"How should I pay my rent?" Xu Shanshan had learned her lesson and knew that with the police officers present, the couple wouldn't dare to cheat her. If they waited until the officers left, they might not refund her rent.
Sure enough, the landlady glanced at the police officer at the police station and said, "You've been living here for more than a month, so it's definitely going to be counted as two months' rent."
Xu Shanshan wanted to say, "I've only stayed here for a few days this month."
But after thinking about it, I decided against it. "Then just refund me the remaining four months."
Upon hearing this, the landlady said, "I'll refund you when you move out," and then she turned to leave with the landlady.
It was the officers from the local police station who stopped them and asked, "Aren't you going to pay for Mr. Xu's medical expenses?"
The landlady reluctantly took the money out of her pocket. "Here you go!"
Then, grumbling and unwillingly, she said, "I'm so unlucky. She just fell into my yard, and now I have to pay for her medical expenses. Next time, even if my house is in disrepair, I won't rent it to these people again."
After paying the money, as I walked to the ward door, the landlady left me with another remark, "No wonder all the men have run away. I wouldn't stay with you either, you jinx."
But she was quickly brought back and stood in front of Xu Shanshan's hospital bed, head down, honestly saying, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to speak."
The police officers reprimanded him, saying, "At your age, you speak without thinking. Alright, be more careful next time and don't talk nonsense."
Finally, they were allowed to leave.
After they left, Xu Shanshan sincerely thanked the police officers, saying, "Thank you so much, if it weren't for you..."
"No need to thank us, we are too..."
One of them had just finished speaking when another patted his arm and said, "It's our duty. If you encounter any difficulties later, you can come to us again."
Xu Shanshan suddenly understood something. She stopped saying thank you and just nodded.
The officers from the police station then left.
When Xu Shanshan left the hospital after two days, she not only didn't pay a single penny in medical expenses, but also received a refund of more than fifty yuan in hospital fees.
Holding the money, Xu Shanshan still gave a disdainful smile.
She moved away from her original place after being discharged from the hospital.
She didn't want to spend money renting other people's houses anymore, so she moved into Wang Jinghui's original house without any hesitation.
In her words, this was something Wang Jinghui owed her, and it was only natural for her to stay.
Wen Jinshu had people keeping an eye on her afterward, but once he knew she had moved into Wang Jinghui's house, he told them not to keep an eye on her anymore.
Of course, Wen Jinshu also told Wen Changyu about this.
After listening, Wen Changyu remained silent for a while, then said, "Let her be!"
After Xu Shanshan was discharged from the hospital, Zhizhi, who had been visiting Beijing for a few days, was also going back to Jiangcheng.
He Yuzhi was reluctant to part with her granddaughter and began to complain to her son, "Didn't I tell you to think of a way to transfer Jinzhou and Zhou Lin to Beijing?"
Wen Changyu said with a hint of helplessness, "It's only the beginning of the year, how can we make personnel changes now? Let's wait a while until spring!"
"Wait, wait, wait a little longer, and the branches will sprout."
“It won’t take that long,” Wen Changyu could only argue in a low voice.
Zhizhi also comforted He Yuzhi, "Grandma, I'll come again in a few days. As soon as the weather gets warmer, I'll come back. I'll still be doing my work at the cultural relics museum!"
“What are you still doing? Your belly is getting bigger every day,” He Yuzhi said, not wanting her granddaughter to suffer.
“It’s too early, she can only give birth in the summer at the earliest,” Zhizhi said, hugging her arm.
He Yuzhi could only say, "Then come early."
"Yes, absolutely."
Zhizhi took the car back home, and when she got back, there was a new television set in the house.
Zhizhi circled the TV back and forth, asking, "Where did this come from?"
"I bought it," Zhou Lin said, looking like he wanted praise.
"You bought it?"
"Um!"
Zhizhi immediately threw herself into his arms. "Are you afraid I'll be bored when I come back?"
"Hmm? Man, speak," she said, pinching the soft flesh of Zhou Lin's waist through his clothes.
“Mmm,” Zhou Lin responded, his ears turning red.
Zhizhi reached out and pulled his head down, giving him a series of "kiss kisses!"
“However, you bought it too early. It will be difficult for us to bring it to Beijing,” Zhizhi said.
"To Beijing?"
"Well, Grandma said she misses me because I live too far away, but she doesn't want us young couple to be separated all the time, so she's thinking of having you and your second brother go to Beijing."
After saying that, Zhizhi asked, "Wouldn't you be unwilling?"
Zhou Lin thought for a moment and said, "It's all the same. We're serving the people no matter where we are."
Zhizhi hugged him even tighter, "We'll bring Mom to Beijing later, and then our whole family will be together."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
With a television, Zhizhi didn't stay idle either.
She watched TV while making the small jewelry and hair accessories she wanted to sell.
She wants to wait a couple more days until the weather gets warmer before setting up her stall again.
You can sell them in Beijing later.
The Lantern Festival is just after the Lunar New Year, and the city is starting to get lively.
Despite Zhou Lin and Wen Jinzhou's objections, Zhizhi took advantage of their absence and went out alone with large and small bags on her back.
Her small table is still stored at the newsstand.
When I went to pick it up, the newsstand staff were a little surprised, "I thought you weren't coming."
"Why haven't you come yet?"
"Has something happened at home?"
The other person looked her up and down, not at all.
Zhizhi gave her a bag of candy, which He Yuzhi gave her when she went to Beijing. She said it was a gift from someone to Wen Changyu, and it was a foreign product.
