Maoxuewang hotpot, Xu Huaian also came back with his two children.
"Mom, let's go to the temple with Dad today. There are so many people." Beibei shouted before she even entered the door.
"Really? Then I want to go next time too!" Ming Ruxue went forward upon hearing that.
When the two children saw her, they excitedly said, "Auntie Ruxue!"
Ming Ruxue has a childlike nature and it is easy for her to get along with them.
"Beibei, Dabao, guess what delicious food I brought you?"
"Is it candy?"
"No, it's chocolate, haha!"
"What is chocolate? Is it delicious?"
"You'll know once you try it!"
Ming Ruxue took the two children out to play.
Xu Huaian washed his hands naturally and came over to help serve the dishes and rice.
"Huanhuan, you've worked hard." He deliberately leaned over to whisper in Gu Qinghuan's ear.
Gu Qinghuan was busy with the vegetables in the pot and had no time to pay attention to him. She even shouted at him in dissatisfaction: "Get out!"
Xu Huaian had no choice but to accept his fate and serve the dishes.
Gu Lanting saw that he was stupefied and chuckled. Now he was no longer repulsed by Xu Huai'an, but just enjoyed seeing him look ugly.
Gu Qinghuan had already steamed the shrimps in advance, and now all she needed to do was cook the diced chicken with double peppers, stir-fried vegetables, and seaweed egg drop soup.
There are so many dishes on the table that this eight-person table can hardly hold them all.
"Thank you for your hard work, sister." Ming Ruxue said sweetly.
Lan Ting rolled her eyes and said, "If you have the time to say nice things, why don't you help my sister do more things so that she can talk more."
Ming Ruxue grabbed Gu Qinghuan and said coquettishly: "Isn't this what I am learning? Sister, look at him!"
"Okay, both of you should stop talking nonsense. Ruxue always brings food every time she comes over, and you eat it anyway, right? By the way, don't do that again next time. We're familiar with each other after the first time, so there's no need to be so picky." Gu Qinghuan acted as a peacemaker.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Ahem, we've prepared such a large table of dishes today because we have a big event to celebrate. Our small Western-style house is coming back!" After Gu Qinghuan finished speaking, he paused deliberately to give everyone time to digest the thought.
Ming Ruxue, as Gu Qinghuan's biggest fan, immediately realized that there should be applause here, so she took the lead in clapping and even wanted to stand up and cheer.
The two children immediately followed her and took photos enthusiastically.
Gu Lanting and Xu Huaian were a beat slower and it took them a while to catch up with the rhythm.
"Didn't you say that we would have to deal with them for a while longer on this matter? How come it was done so quickly?" Gu Lanting asked in surprise.
"Of course, someone helped me! What a coincidence! When I went to report a case today, I happened to meet a police officer who was my mother's classmate.
He said that his mother had sponsored his education, and that there were people who could help him, and since we were in the right, it would be easy for us to get the case.
"That would be great." Lan Ting said excitedly.
"Congratulations, sister, for taking back the house." Ming Ruxue bowed and congratulated.
Xu Huaian didn't have to say anything extra, as he saw everything.
"I looked at it today and found that the basic furniture was all there and of good quality. It must have been bought by my mother before. The walls and floors in the house were fine and did not need to be renovated.
In the next few days, we will clean up and buy some missing items, and then we can officially move in."
Gu Lanting was obviously happy. He used to live alone, but recently he felt a little uncomfortable living with his brother-in-law. It’s not that he disliked it, he just couldn’t get used to it.
"Can we move there too?" Dabao and Beibei looked at Gu Qinghuan expectantly.
Gu Qinghuan nodded without hesitation: "Of course, if you don't follow me, who will you go with?"
"Of course we follow mom." Beibei smiled.
Xu Huaian smiled helplessly. He could only live off his wife. So what? He would follow her for the rest of his life anyway.
At the same time, he also has an urgent need to make money. As a man, he still has to support his family and cannot rely on his wife for everything.
Ming Ruxue was the only one with a sad face: "You all have to move to a new home, I also want to have a permanent home."
After she came back, she was arranged to stay at the Overseas Chinese Hotel, where she stayed for a long time. Although the hotel was good and free, it was still not as good as her own comfortable home.
"You can move in with us, there are plenty of rooms in the small western-style building.
Of course, if you feel uncomfortable, you can also live in another house. This time we have taken back two houses in total, and they are located opposite each other." Gu Qinghuan immediately comforted her.
"Is it really possible?" Her eyes lit up visibly.
"Of course, let's talk about this first, and we'll discuss the details tomorrow. Now let's eat!" Don't let the delicious food go to waste.
It only takes a minute or two to say all this.
Everyone started eating, and then everything became quiet, with only the sound of chopsticks remaining on the table.
Today's dishes are all Jianghu dishes, very delicious. Gu Lanting and Xu Huai'an ate bowl after bowl of rice.
Fortunately, she prepared plenty of rice.
Lian Ming Ruxue ate two bowls of rice. The spicier the food was, the more she wanted to eat. Her lips were red and swollen, but she kept eating.
The two children had boiled shrimps, vegetables, fish slices that were not too spicy, and seaweed egg drop soup, and they enjoyed their meals very much.
"Burp, eat something, I'm so full!" Gu Lanting burped in an ungraceful manner.
After this meal, Ming Ruxue became more determined to follow Gu Qinghuan and live a life of free food and drink. Even though they would leave sooner or later, it was worth it to have a chance to live there.
"Sister, you must keep one of the two small houses you mentioned for me. I will rent your house and the rent will be based on the highest market price."
Although she wanted to eat for free, she was not such a person who had no sense of propriety. She would not feel comfortable if they were not suitable to live together.
It would be better to just rent their house, and then you can eat for free later, it's wonderful just thinking about it.
"Why do you say whether to rent it or not? I'll just let you live there, no charge. It's just sitting there anyway, and we'll have to hire someone to clean it. You can just move in and help look after the house." Gu Qinghuan of course refused to accept any money.
Ming Ruxue was afraid that she would not accept the money, so she made a bold statement: "Sister, you must accept this money, otherwise I will not be comfortable living here. I really don't need money! Now I am poor and only have money left. If you don't accept it, you are looking down on me."
She was telling the truth. Her ancestors were wealthy and left her a huge fortune. Although her parents were devoted to research, she was never short of money. She could spend it however she wanted. She had never lacked money since she was a child.
Gu Qinghuan also knew that she was a wealthy woman. Whether it was the way she dressed or her hands, it could be seen that she was not short of money.
Well, she's the clown.
When will I be able to say in this life that I am so poor that I only have money left? It’s exciting just to think about it.
"Okay, it's just there anyway, you can live in it as you like. I'll have someone clean up the two houses in the next two days. When you have a weekend off, we can go shopping together and buy some daily necessities and then officially move in."
"Okay, okay, let's go to the Overseas Chinese Store. I have a lot of foreign exchange certificates that I haven't used yet. The uncle who sent me here before also gave me a lot of other tickets that I haven't used yet."
"That's great! I was just worried about the tickets!"
"Don't worry, if I don't have any tickets here, I can ask someone to get them for me. I'm sure I can get them. Just buy whatever you want."
When the two women talked about shopping, they became very enthusiastic, causing the two grown men to shake their heads and helplessly go to clean up the dishes.

Xujiatun
Ever since Chen Jianghe broke his leg, the Xu family has been in trouble again.
The new house has been repaired and the kang has been built. You just need to clean it up and buy some furniture, and then you can move in directly.
But Xu Meiling was not willing to move.
There are three reasons. First, she feels sick at the smell of anything lately. She can’t take care of herself, let alone Chen Jianghe.
Having been raised like a parasite at home for the first half of her life, she was a little scared to suddenly have to start her own business, fearing that she would not be able to cope with it.
Secondly, as long as she lived at home, she would eat and drink the family's food and spend the family's money. If she moved out, she would have to spend her own money, which she was reluctant to do.
Thirdly, Chen Jianghe needed more nourishment due to her illness, and she had to eat well as she was pregnant, so she wanted to eat the food at her mother’s house.
The factory issued meat coupons to Xu Huaizhi every month, and he would often bring back a few pounds of pork, or large bones, pig liver, etc., which always had a bit of a fishy smell.
There is also the eldest sister-in-law Lin Xiaomeng, who would bring back some good things from time to time, and the whole family would always get to share some of them. She was reluctant to give up these benefits.
Chen Jianghe had two dollars in his hand. She calculated that half of it was spent on house renovations and shopping. He also spent dozens of dollars on breaking his leg some time ago.
He didn't have much money now, and he refused to ask his family for money. She didn't want to be penniless when she gave birth to her child.
So if she could stay at her mother's house, she would do so first, and if it really didn't work, she could do it later.
My own parents won’t say anything and will just turn a blind eye.
Lin Xiaomeng is such an unbearable sister-in-law.
Before the house was repaired, it was understandable for her to stay at home. Considering that this was her last time staying at her parents' home, Lin Xiaomeng could tolerate it.
But the house has been repaired, the kang has been heated, and the furniture has been bought, so why haven't the couple moved in yet?
The rage in her heart grew day by day.
Today, she brought back a nest of pheasant eggs from the mountain, which she secretly hid to give to her son as a snack.
When cooking in the evening, she boiled two pheasant eggs in the porridge pot, preparing to hide them and secretly give them to Dacheng at night.
As a result, she just went back to the room, and when she came back to prepare the eggs, there was nothing in the pot.
He didn't need to think about it, it must have been done by Xu Meiling, and this was not the first time. Xu Meiling seemed to be monitoring her all the time and always found the good things she hid.
Lin Xiaomeng exploded immediately, settling all the old and new grudges together, and started swearing at home: "It's hard to guard against thieves at home! She even stole her own nephew's things, why doesn't the old man send down a thunderbolt to kill her!"
