Liu Guangjun peeked through the curtains and saw the door across the room open. He immediately bent down and lay down.
After a while, he heard the sound of a motorcycle starting and the sound of the gate being closed.
Only after the door opposite closed again did he quietly lie back down on the bed.
Xia Laidi was sleeping with her back to the baby, holding him in her arms.
"Do you think my older sister is getting married?" Liu Guangjun asked in a low voice.
"Hmm." Xia Laidi wasn't asleep; she was also listening to the sounds outside.
This is the first time she's seen her sister bring a man home since she arrived.
And they even met the man's family today, so it seems they're getting married.
She approves of her sister's remarriage.
Although Sun Xingyan was a little younger than her sister, he was very caring and even treated her daughter very well.
And their family is so well-off.
Her only concern was whether his family would be easy to get along with.
"Do you think the house will be left to us after my older sister gets married?"
"Dream on. It's good enough that you get to work here," Xia Laidi said disdainfully.
Her temper is not the same as when she first arrived. As the money in her savings account increases, she can independently buy clothes and skincare products for herself, and easily buy toys for her children.
She recognizes her own value, enjoys being in control of her life, and now she stands taller and taller.
She still remembers her sister saying after she received her first paycheck, "Buy whatever you want this month, start saving money next month, and buy a house here as soon as possible to settle down."
Her sister also said, "Don't worry about Liu Guangjun, he'll behave himself."
Xia Laidi's upright posture comes from this sentence.
She was terrified when she first started to resist Liu Guangjun, but when she saw that Liu Guangjun didn't dare to lay a hand on her and only cursed at her, she knew that he was nothing special.
He's just a paper tiger who only knows how to bully her.
As she resisted more and more, Liu Guangjun's momentum weakened, and even his curses subsided.
The reason is that Liu Runan would complain to Xia Baozhu. She said she didn't know, but she would express fear.
Seeing her like this, Xia Baozhu didn't bother to find out what happened and directly ordered Chen Wenbin to deal with Liu Guangjun.
Once Xia Laidi figured out the pattern, she naturally became even less afraid of Liu Guangjun.
Not only that, she also asked Liu Guangjun to deposit his money with her, ostensibly to buy a house.
Hearing that Liu Guangjun was eyeing her sister's house, Xia Laidi rolled her eyes: "You can try talking to your older sister."
Liu Guangjun naturally wouldn't dare; he said that so that Xia Laidi would ask.
He was afraid of Xia Baozhu, but despite his fear, he still harbored the idea of taking advantage of her.
He was deflated when he heard that Xia Laidi had sided with her sister.
If Xia Baozhu dies, wouldn't the house belong to them?
Liu Guangjun suddenly had an idea.
However, he was timid, so he only thought about it. Even if he had two lives, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on Xia Baozhu.
If he gets caught, the people in the store will definitely tear him apart.
He realized that his brother-in-law had the lowest status in the shop.
Everyone else, even Li Jinlong who works the early shift, is valued by Xia Baozhu more than him.
If it weren't for Xia Laidi's connection, he would never have been recruited.
The people in the shop were very united, and half of them were locals. He didn't even dare to complain to others about Xia Baozhu's disdain for him.
He was only willing to endure the oppression and continue working here because of the high wages; otherwise, he would have found another job long ago.
Of course, Liu Guangjun did inquire about other jobs, but as soon as he heard about the pitifully low wages, he turned and left without looking back.
What a piece of junk! I work from morning till night and only get 150 a month!
Only a fool would turn down a 300-yuan salary to do a 150-yuan job.
Disillusioned, Liu Guangjun tossed and turned, unable to sleep, pondering when they would be able to afford such a large house.
"Stop flipping through the pages, go to sleep. You have to get up early for work tomorrow." Xia Laidi's impatient voice came from the darkness.
Sun Xingyan came early in the morning to pick up Xia Baozhu and take her to the new house.
He bought the third and fourth floors because he was annoyed by the noise from upstairs.
Especially when he sleeps in late in the morning, there are often thumping noises from upstairs, which disturb his sleep.
So he had a bright idea and bought two floors.
If the fifth floor weren't already occupied, he would have wanted to buy it as well.
Each floor is 96 square meters. He had the construction workers cut a hole leading to the fourth floor and build a corner staircase.
"Wife, what do you think of my layout?" Sun Xingyan picked up the construction drawings that were on the windowsill.
"This is the living room. We'll definitely have a lot of guests coming over in the future, so we'll make the living room bigger," he said as he walked.
"This is the bedroom, it faces the sun, we'll sleep in this room from now on."
At this point, Sun Xingyan glanced cautiously at Xia Baozhu and saw that she looked calm but somewhat disappointed.
Xia Baozhu sensed his gaze and immediately understood his thoughts. Speechless, she turned away to look elsewhere.
The workers are laying tiles now. Xia Baozhu looked at the white tiles on the ground without saying anything, letting Sun Xingyan take care of it.
Home renovation is a physically and mentally demanding task, and she knows it all too well.
However, even if she wanted to avoid trouble, she couldn't. Sun Xingyan kept asking her about the color of the windowsill, the color of the wallpaper, the color of the wall panels, and all sorts of other colors, which made Xia Baozhu's head spin.
Sun Xingyan wanted to decorate his home in a warm and elegant style. He disliked the green walls and the ostentatious bright yellow style.
That evening, he stayed in Xia Baozhu's room again under the pretext of revising the blueprints.
"Honey, would you prefer the study completely covered with wall panels, or half paneling and half wallpaper?"
Xia Baozhu immediately found the interior design magazine she had bought, unfolded it, and pointed to a picture on it, saying, "This one is pretty good."
The light-colored study has a fresh and natural style.
"Won't it get dirty easily? What I mean is that kids like to scribble and draw everywhere." Sun Xingyan thought of his nephew Lele when he was little, and he was thinking a long-term view.
“Then let’s use this one.” Xia Baozhu’s slender fingers pressed onto another picture.
The dark-colored study is elegant and dignified, with a strong scholarly atmosphere.
"This is good. Would you like to choose tile or wood flooring?"
Sun Xingyan's questions made Xia Baozhu feel a sense of belonging to her future home. She no longer found it troublesome and carefully considered every detail.
She would occasionally take Sun Xingyan's paper and pen and draw her own ideas on the diagram.
Seeing her focused expression, Sun Xingyan couldn't resist kissing her again, only to be pushed aside by Xia Baozhu.
She doesn't like to be disturbed when she has important things to do.
Sun Xingyan could only suppress the burning passion in his heart and obediently watch as the pen in her hand continued to depict their future.
He is now looking forward to tomorrow, which will be one of the most important days of his life.
