She plans to buy a townhouse or a single-family house. After all, she is used to living in a house with its own door and yard, and she would not be happy to move back to a residential complex.

But buying a new house of your choice is not an easy task.

I looked at several places in a row, but either I didn't like the room type or there were not enough rooms.

She did see a house she liked, a three-story detached villa. Although it didn't have a yard, it had a private garage and six rooms in total. Shen Mingzhu also liked the decoration style, but the price made her sigh.

If you don't use your family's money to invest in Lihua's projects, you can also buy it by finding someone to pool your money together.

But the money she had now was not even one-tenth of the price of the house.

"If you really like that house, let's go talk to the landlord tomorrow, pay the deposit first to reserve the house, and then find a way to raise the money."

At night, seeing Shen Mingzhu tossing and turning because of the house issue, Pei Yang hugged her and whispered to her, "My uncle should still have about 100,000 yuan, and my sister should be able to borrow 20,000 yuan, and Brother Zhao should be able to borrow some. If it's not enough, I will go to the bank to borrow."

After hearing what he said, Shen Mingzhu didn't seem to like the house as much anymore.

The high price is one thing.

Rather than spending more than 200,000 yuan to change her living environment, she would rather invest in the production line.

"Let's take another look."

"Um."

The lights went out and the room fell into silence.

In the darkness, Pei Yang stared at the fair and beautiful face of the woman beside him, with melancholy and depression between his brows.

For a man, not being able to give a woman the life she wants is a sign of frustration and incompetence.

…

As the Spring Festival was approaching and Shen Mingzhu had too much work to do, she simply gave up the idea of ​​looking for a house.

It’s not that I won’t buy it, but I’m not in a hurry. After all, buying a house is not a trivial matter, and I have to choose one that suits my taste.

Pei Yang also took the time to find someone to raise and reinforce the wall of his home, installed barbed wire, and replaced the door with an anti-theft lock.

Two days later, I brought home another German Shepherd.

German Shepherds are intelligent, loyal, and highly alert, making them ideal guard dogs.

However, the puppy that Pei Yang brought back was still a puppy, just two months old. It was covered with fur, with brown and yellow fur, and had a silly and cuddly look.

After serious discussion, the whole family gave the German Shepherd a nickname "Fugui".

The joy had not lasted long before troubles came.

In order to prevent Fugui from urinating and defecating everywhere and making the house stink, we temporarily kept him in a cage.

The cage has two layers. The upper layer is covered with an old cotton jacket for Fugui to sleep, and the lower layer is equipped with a dog bowl and a litter box for Fugui to eat and go to the toilet.

It turns out that dogs don't think the same way as humans.

On the first night at home, Fugui cried the entire night and the whole family couldn't sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I found that every corner of the cage was covered with rich feces and urine.

The stench is terrible.

Clean the cage inside and out, dry it, cover it with dry old clothes, and put out dog bowls and litter boxes.

Turning around, Fugui squatted on the old clothes that had just been laid out and defecated.

Shen Mingzhu was too lazy to care about it and went out to work with her bag.

When I got home from get off work and walked to the dog cage, Fugui was curled up in the corner of the cage and sleeping, with an old towel under him.

Forget it, just be quiet and don’t make any noise.

As a result, at midnight, Fugui started screaming again like he did last night.

Shen Mingzhu coaxed the baby, fed him, and even sang a lullaby.

It's useless.

The house was finally quiet after a lot of hustle and bustle until late at night, when Fugui was probably tired.

Midnight on the third day.

“Woof, woof woof—”

After being harassed for three nights in a row, Shen Mingzhu really couldn't bear it anymore and kicked the man.

"Send the dog away to me tomorrow!"

Shen Mingzhu was so angry that she didn't bother to say anything. She turned over to respond to the man's suggestion.

After locking the dog in the kitchen, the barking became a little quieter, but it was still audible.

Shen Mingzhu plugged her ears with cotton and covered her head with a quilt, and only then did she manage to get a good night's sleep.

At the breakfast table, Shen Mingzhu reminded Pei Yang with a gloomy face to send the dog away.

"Whether you give it away or return it to the boss, you have to get rid of the dog today."

Whoever wants to keep this broken dog can do so. She doesn’t want to keep it anyway.

"Then I'll ask my uncle if he wants to..."

"Mom, why are you sending Fugui away?"

Pei Yang was interrupted by Pei Tang's puzzled voice before he could finish his words.

Shen Mingzhu patiently explained to her daughter: "It's too noisy. It makes mom and dad unable to sleep well at night. If we don't sleep well, we won't have the energy to work during the day."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"Mom, can you not send Fugui away?"

Just as Shen Mingzhu was about to speak her mind, she heard her daughter say, "Fugui left his mother and came to our house. He just hasn't gotten used to it yet. He makes noises at night because he misses his mother."

"As long as we take good care of it and love it, it will definitely like our home and won't miss its mother anymore."

Shen Mingzhu was stunned.

She had become accustomed to the weighing of pros and cons and screening in the adult world, but her daughter's words reminded her that there were still pure, beautiful emotions in this world that were not mixed with any utilitarianism.

That is the love of a child.

…

"Then will Fugui be sent away?"

After dinner, when they returned to the bedroom to put on their coats, Pei Yang asked her in a low voice.

"Forget it, just stay."

At the breakfast table, she couldn't help being touched by what her daughter said, and she was willing to fulfill her daughter's kindness and gentleness.

Perhaps, she should also learn to be more tolerant and patient towards the weak.

In the blink of an eye, it was night again.

Shen Mingzhu was prepared to lose sleep due to the noise, but Fugui was exceptionally quiet tonight. He curled up in his own nest like a caterpillar and slept soundly.

In the middle of the night, Shen Mingzhu was awakened by a rustling sound.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a flashlight flashing outside the door.

Shen Mingzhu was shocked by the theft that happened not long ago. She was about to wake up Pei Yang beside her, but when she turned around, she found that Pei Yang was already awake.

"Hush."

Pei Yang leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Don't move. I'll go take a look."

"Be careful."

"Um."

In the darkness, Shen Mingzhu saw the man quietly get off the bed and pick up the crystal table on her dressing table.

Shen Mingzhu's heart suddenly tightened.

What if the other party has a knife or there are several people...

Thinking of the worst possibility, Shen Mingzhu hurriedly got out of bed to pull Pei Yang.

Just steal if you want to. Consider it a loss to avoid disaster.

When she stood up, Shen Mingzhu accidentally touched the water cup on the bedside table.

Bang!

Shen Mingzhu was so shocked that she almost screamed. The next second, the lights in the room came on.

Pei Yang held the door handle and turned back to remind her, "Stay here and don't come out."

"Don't go out yet..."

Before Shen Mingzhu finished speaking, her daughter's voice came from outside the door - (End of this chapter)
