Chapter 33 I want to eat soft tofu and live in a building
Qiao Yanxin walked around the brick factory and counted the bricks. There were about 104,000 finished bricks. In addition, there were more than 5,000 brick blanks.
Although bricks cannot be used to build a house, they can be used to build a pigpen, sheep pen, toilet, or firewood shed.
Qiao Yanxin planned to go to Secretary Liu's house later and ask him to keep an eye on the bricks. If anyone needed bricks, she could sell them at a low price.
She locked the gate of the brick factory again and walked towards home.
Not far from the brick factory is her family’s spacious and imposing three-story red brick building.
Nowadays, every household in the countryside lives in adobe houses. Her three-story red brick house is the only one in the entire Anbao Town, making many people jealous.
Qiao Yanxin opened the gate and saw that the cement courtyard was full of dead leaves.
These dead leaves fell in the winter, and because no one has cleaned them up, they remain until now, making the huge yard look extremely desolate and deserted.
The house was also covered with dust.
Qiao Yanxin found a rag to wipe a stool clean, put her schoolbag on the stool, picked up the broom and started cleaning.
It took me more than an hour to clean the upstairs and downstairs. I also swept the fallen leaves in the yard into the corner, ready to use as firewood when cooking later.
There was a well under the grape vines in the yard. Qiao Yanxin took a bucket from the kitchen, drew water, and went into the kitchen to boil two pots of hot water.
As I was busy, I suddenly heard the heavy iron door creak.
Knowing someone was coming, Qiao Yanxin hurried out of the kitchen, only to see her aunt Zhang Lanying standing in the yard with a big smile on her face. She said with a big grin, "Yanxin, you're finally back. How are you? Are you used to living in the city?"
Qiao Yanxin's grandparents died early, and her father had no brothers or sisters. After her father passed away, Zhang Lanying's family used the excuse that they were now Qiao Yanxin's only relatives and had the responsibility to take care of Qiao Yanxin. In fact, they wanted to wipe out the entire family and occupy her three-story house.
Before their father's body was cold, Zhang Lanying and her family discussed in front of Qiao Yanxin when to move in.
Even the arrangements have been made about who lives on which floor and who lives in which room.
What’s funny is that even though this is Qiao Yanxin’s home, they actually want to marry Qiao Yanxin off quickly so that she doesn’t have to occupy the house anymore.
Qiao Yanxin was unwilling to do so, and immediately broke off relations with Zhang Lanying's family.
If Uncle Ji and Big Brother Ji had not personally stepped forward and threatened this family of scoundrels openly and secretly, this family would definitely have pestered Qiao Yanxin.
Qiao Yanxin's face sank, and she said unceremoniously: "Get out! You are not welcome in our home!"
Zhang Lanying was not angry at all. Instead, she smiled even more warmly and even took a few steps towards Qiao Yanxin.
"Yan Xin, we are all family, what's the point in falling out?
Auntie has something good to tell you. Come here, let’s sit down and talk slowly. ”
Qiao Yanxin snorted and said, "Family? You are so shameless to say that!
When you robbed our house, you were so ruthless.
Now, it’s said that there is something good, but who knows what bad things are hidden.
Get out of here! If you don’t get out of here, I’ll kick you out with a broom! ”
As he said that, he picked up the broom beside him.
Zhang Lanying was born with a thick skin and a mean personality, so she naturally didn't take Qiao Yanxin seriously. She laughed dryly and said, "What's the matter?
Has the little female cat also learned to catch people?
I am your aunt, how can I harm you?
I have a good man here, I would like to introduce him to you..."
Qiao Yanxin was furious when she heard this. In her previous life, Zhang Lanying wanted to introduce her brothers from her natal family to her.
Zhang Lanying's brother is called Zhang Tieniu. As his name suggests, he is dark and strong, just like a big iron ox. He is extremely lazy and never works a day. He doesn't earn any work points. He is almost thirty years old and still can't find a wife.
Unexpectedly, in this life, Zhang Lanying would use the same old tricks again and want to force her to her brother Tieniu.
Qiao Yanxin swung the broom and hit Zhang Lanying fiercely, cursing as he hit her: "I live in the Ji family now. Uncle Ji will take care of my lifelong affairs. It's not your turn to worry about it!"
Uncle Ji and Big Brother Ji had been to their village. Zhang Lanying knew that Uncle Ji was a big leader, and she was actually quite afraid of the Ji family.
Qiao Yanxin deliberately moved out of the Ji family to intimidate Zhang Lanying.
As expected, Zhang Lanying backed away while being beaten, and her tone became much softer.
"You damn girl, it's fine if you don't agree, but why are you hitting me..."
"Zhang Lanying, I told you not to take advantage of me!
I am now protected by a big shot. If you dare to provoke me, I will kill you..."
After Qiao Yanxin chased Zhang Lanying out of the yard with a broom, he slammed the iron gate shut and bolted it from the inside.
Thinking of Zhang Lanying's embarrassed look as she fled in panic, the corners of her delicate mouth curled up.
In her previous life, she was too cowardly and confused, so those bastards dared to bully her at will.
Zhang Lanying was so angry that she thought about it and went straight to her parents' home.
As soon as Zhang Tieniu saw Zhang Lanying, he asked excitedly, "Sister, why are you back? Did you introduce me to a wife? Is my wife pretty?"
Zhang Lanying shuddered and cursed, "You only care about marrying a wife. You stink so much that even a wife would be driven away by you."
Zhang Lanying's eighty-year-old mother came out of the house leaning on a cane and said anxiously, "You think your brother is smelly? Why don't you find him a wife as soon as possible!
Now that he has a wife, won’t there be someone to take care of him?
By the way, aren’t you planning to tell your brother about Qiao Yanxin who lives in your house? How's it going? ”
Zhang Tieniu had seen Qiao Yanxin and liked her very much. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Qiao Yanxin looks like tender tofu. I want her. Sister, please get her to me quickly!"
Tie Niu's mother: "It's such a waste for a little girl like Qiao Yanxin to guard such a big building. After Tie Niu marries her, we will all move to her house."
Zhang Tieniu: "Hey, I want to eat soft tofu and live in a building..."
Zhang Lanying was a little unhappy. She glared at her brother and said, "You wish! If you marry Qiao Yanxin to our family, the building will be mine. Your brother-in-law and I are Qiao Yanxin's only relatives!"
"Are you my biological sister? And you want to occupy my building. How shameless are you?
Anyway, the building is mine! snort! ”
Seeing that the two siblings were about to fight over Qiao Yanxin's apartment, Tie Niu's mother said with a sullen face, "Stop arguing. Tie Niu occupies two floors and Lan Ying occupies one floor. What is there to fight about?
But didn’t you say that Qiao Yanxin moved to Yuncheng? How can you get her to be your brother's? ”
The fat on Zhang Lanying's face trembled again, and she angrily cursed: "That damn girl happened to come back today, and I kindly mentioned her marriage with Tieniu,
The damn girl actually chased me out with a big broom, it seemed like she didn't like our Tie Niu. ”
Zhang Tieniu was furious when he heard this, and he cursed unconvincedly: "How dare that little girl look down on Grandpa? How can a handsome man like Grandpa not be worthy of her?"
Zhang Lanying rolled her eyes at Zhang Tieniu: "Stop flattering yourself!"
She added: "That little girl is very arrogant. We have to think of a good solution. Tieniu, come here and I will tell you..."
