Chapter 162 Independence
The moving company that Shen Jiazhou contacted was very fast. It only took an hour from the time they entered the door to the time they finished packing. An hour later, the room was restored to the way it was before they moved in.
Shen Jiazhou said: "Call the landlord and ask him to come and collect the house."
Wen Shuqiao had already put on a long down coat and wrapped herself tightly. She nodded and said, "I've already contacted them. They said they'll be here right away."
The people from the moving company had already started moving out, but before they had moved halfway, the previous landlord came over.
He looked at the packed items with a strange expression on his face. He walked into the house and saw Shen Jiazhou holding Cancan.
The landlord said, "Hey, Shuqiao, this is your husband."
Didn't they say before that this person was a single mother? Who spread the news?
Wen Shuqiao took a step forward and did not answer his question. Instead, he opened his own payment code: "Liquidated damages."
The landlord chuckled and was about to say something when those people who had just moved came back. They all gathered around him tacitly and surrounded the landlord.
Wen Shuqiao said coldly: "Aren't you going to hire someone to help me move? Why don't you pay for tonight's moving expenses together?"
The landlord said, "You moved by yourself, what does it have to do with me?"
But seeing that they gathered around him more tightly, he still didn't dare to say anything. He quickly took out his phone and paid three months' liquidated damages for Wen Shuqiao. He said, "Here you go."
Then he muttered, "You're getting a bargain. Only a kind-hearted landlord like me can give you three months' liquidated damages."
Then she couldn't help but look at the man behind her who hadn't spoken a word, and thought to herself, Wen Shuqiao's husband is quite imposing, and even he, an elder, doesn't dare to look him in the eye.
But these have nothing to do with him anymore, as long as he collects the money nicely tomorrow.
Shen Jiazhou held Cancan in one hand and pushed a large suitcase with the other: "Let's go."
Wen Shuqiao turned around and nodded slightly, then reached out to take the box from Shen Jiazhou's hand, but when he walked out and reached the door, someone had already taken the box.
Milk and Cake also lay obediently in the cage at the door, without making any noise or trouble.
Wen Shuqiao walked out, raised his hand to pick up Cancan and adjusted the soft scarf around his neck, then raised his head and said, "Let's go."
After they all left, the landlord took out his cell phone and called the most recent person he had contacted.
It took a long time for the call to be answered by a woman, who asked lazily, "What for?"
The landlord said, "Boss, I have already vacated the house for you. Do you think you are free tomorrow? We can sign the contract right away!"
The woman paused for a moment: "Where are the people living in there?"
The landlord said, "I asked her to move out tonight and paid her three months' liquidated damages."
However, this boss is very generous, so the penalty for breach of contract is nothing.
Unexpectedly, the woman on the other end of the phone angrily said, "What? She left with the child today? Didn't I tell her to move out within two days?"
She didn't even have the chance to show her affection!
The landlord said, "You need the house urgently, so I am afraid that it will delay your business. You see..."
The other party hung up the phone directly. The landlord was stunned for a moment and called again, but the call had been blocked.

Shen Jiazhou's apartment has two floors, but the last time they came, they only saw the children's room on the first floor. It was not until today when everything was cleaned up that Shen Jiazhou carefully introduced this home to them. Milk and Cake also looked around curiously, inspecting this new home.
Shen Jiazhou said: "Originally the bedrooms were all upstairs, but considering that Cancan is small, the first floor was turned into a children's room, and the other master bedroom is my room."
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Okay."
Shen Jiazhou said, "There is a video room, a gym, a study, and a master bedroom on the second floor. You can sleep upstairs."
In fact, the master bedroom upstairs was the room Shen Jiazhou started living in on Monday, but thinking that the children's room had already been decorated, he simply moved downstairs to sleep. This way, if Cancan really came, he would be able to know the first thing if there was any movement.
Wen Shuqiao said, "Cancan and I can just sleep in the children's room. There's no need to prepare a separate room for me."
Shen Jiazhou said, "Since you've already moved, why not just let him sleep alone? He'll only get more attached to you this way. Look, he started crying tonight before we even separated."
It was better during the day, as he and Gu Xingyuan could take him out to play alone.
He said, "He will go to kindergarten after the Chinese New Year, and we will be apart even more. It is better to let him adapt as soon as possible, which can be like a temporary withdrawal."
Neither of them had experienced the withdrawal period for children, but Shen Jiazhou had asked Ning Fei's sister and brother-in-law for advice, and they knew that it also takes a long time to teach children how to withdraw.
They live together now and can supervise each other.
Wen Shuqiao thought about it and felt that Shen Jiazhou was right. Besides, Cancan was getting older, so he needed to be taught some knowledge about the differences between men and women.
She nodded: "I'll listen to you."
The two adults decided in a few words that Cancan would sleep alone, but the real topic of conversation was still leading his two loyal followers around the room.
My uncle’s house is so big, he can ride his bike for a long time at home!
Shen Jiazhou glanced at Cancan and said, "It's too late today. I'll have someone clean up the upstairs tomorrow and you can go upstairs later."
Wen Shuqiao had no problem with it, so she nodded: "Thank you for your help."
"It's not a bother." Shen Jiazhou said softly, "I stayed at your house that day, and you didn't seem to find it a bother."
Wen Shuqiao pursed her lips, and Shen Jiazhou looked at her: "Shuqiao, there is no need to be so polite between us. I am happy to help you solve your troubles."
The two looked at each other, and Wen Shuqiao felt a little embarrassed by his stare, but if he moved away it would seem that he was trying to hide his mistake.
The two of them just looked at each other in confusion until Cancan came back after patrolling the territory, looking up at them with his hands in his pockets.
Huh? Why can't he hear his aunt and uncle talking again?
