He wondered silently in his heart what kind of coincidence had brought these two people with such different personalities together.
Looking at the busy little girl in the distance, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, as if she had some magic power, and even the elders in the village were amused by her.
The little girl is not only eloquent, but also has impressive living skills, which naturally makes Yin Yunjie feel more at ease.
The pack of cigarettes handed to Qian Ming, although ordinary in appearance, was a small gift specially prepared for the hard-working construction workers on the construction site.
Qian Ming initially refused, but finally accepted it at Yin Yunjie's insistence.
At that moment, a warm current surged in his heart. He admired the way Comrade Xu's family behaved and thought that forming a relationship with such a family might be a key step to changing his destiny.
Returning to his simple new home, Yin Yunjie gently locked the door and turned to Xu Qinghe to tell him about his encounter with Qian Ming.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe didn't say much, but just nodded slightly and softly told him to go and wash up first, as dinner was ready.
Her tone was calm yet gentle, and the tacit understanding between the two was evident in her simple words, just like an ordinary couple's daily conversation, warm and natural.
Just as the kitchen was filled with smoke and the aroma of dishes filled the air, Sun Youfang stepped into the door with a beaming face, her eyes filled with unconcealable joy.
She changed her usual behavior and took the initiative to walk into the kitchen, rarely offering to help Xu Qinghe. This sudden courtesy surprised Xu Qinghe a little, but he did not refuse.
After all, when moving soon, it's always good to have one more person to share the burden. As for the intention behind it, she will wait and see for now.
Sun Youfang's excessive intimacy seemed to have ulterior motives. As the old saying goes, if someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Xu Qinghe remained calm and observed the other party calmly.
"I heard that you went to buy furniture today, and you picked out those old and shabby ones. Haha, it seems that your financial situation is really not very good." Sun Youfang's words were full of gloating, but his face pretended to be sympathetic, which was disgusting.
Xu Qinghe didn't respond to this, but just listened as Sun Youfang continued, "If you're short of money, why don't you ask your grandmother for help? She's been so kind to you. I remember she said she has a priceless jade pendant that could help you out in this difficult situation."
Xu Qinghe frowned slightly. The book did not mention any clues about the jade pendant, and he had never heard of it before.
Even if this is true, under the current circumstances, taking out the jade pendant will not only be of no help, but may also lead to more trouble.
It is impossible for Sun Youfang not to understand these principles, but she is still talking here. Obviously, her goal is not money, but the mysterious jade pendant.
"I can solve my own problems myself. I don't need you to fan the flames here. Grandma has the right to dispose of her belongings freely. Don't try to do anything bad with her."
Xu Qinghe's eyes were sharp and his words were firm, warning Sun Youfang not to act rashly.
Knowing that Sun Youfang was scheming and calculating, Xu Qinghe was deeply afraid that she would attack her elderly grandmother and cause more trouble.
Grandma is old, and although Xu Qinghe has selfish motives from time to time, he still hopes that she can enjoy her old age as a way of repaying the original owner for raising her.
Facing Xu Qinghe's warning, Sun Youfang remained fearless, a playful smile curling up the corners of her mouth. "Hey, isn't this all for your own good? Why are you so nervous? We're all family, how could I possibly harm you?"
"Su Qifen was also deceived by your sweet words, right? If the Tian family hadn't been concerned about their reputation and didn't want to make it public, how could you still be so free? You and your son should have been punished by law long ago!"
Xu Qinghe's eyes were indifferent, and with a quick glance, he saw and remembered all of Sun Youfang's actions.
If she wanted to, she could expose Sun Youfang's true face at any time and teach him the lesson he deserved.
If the matter really became a big uproar, the rumors in this small village would be enough to make everyone's ears restless. After thinking it over, Xu Qinghe felt that it was best to keep the peace, so he decided to keep some distance from Sun Youfang to reduce unnecessary disputes.
The new house is about to be completed. Every brick and tile represents a new beginning. We should stay away from all the troubles and just turn a blind eye to them. Why add to the confusion for no reason?
Sun Youfang was choked by Xu Qinghe's blunt words. Although she felt a little uneasy in her heart, she remained steadfast and retorted bluntly, "Her own misconduct has nothing to do with me. I'm just being kind and want to give you a warning. If you don't want to accept it, there's nothing I can do!"
After saying this, Sun Youfang, as if to prove something out of spite, angrily filled his bowl with rice, the food piled up to the brim, and then walked out of the yard alone with his back to everyone.
Xu Qinghe looked at Sun Youfang's departing back, and inexplicably felt an unsolvable knot in her heart, but also a hint of pleasure - at least, this was a little initiative she could control.
At the dining table, Zhu Yunxiu hesitated several times to speak, trying to find an opportunity to talk to Xu Qinghe, but every time she looked up and saw Xu Qinghe's indifferent expression, all the words became difficult to speak.
Finally, he wisely sped up his meal, hastily ended this silent war, and returned to his room alone.
After dinner, Yin Yunjie casually mentioned, "Grandma seems to want to talk to you today. Don't you want to go over and listen?"
Xu Qinghe shook her head slightly: "If she really wants to, she will come to me."
Xu Qinghe had to admit that at certain times, he was indeed a person who easily held grudges.
Although it had been several days since that incident, every time when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the betrayal would pierce my heart like a thorn, and I couldn't let it go.
Now, being able to be polite to the old lady on the surface is the biggest concession she can make.
Yin Yunjie knew very well that as an outsider, he should not interfere too much in the grudges between the grandfather and grandson. Moreover, he could not replace Xu Qinghe and could not choose to forgive or bear grudge for her.
"Starting tomorrow, we can slowly pack up and move. If there's anything you need, remember to tell me and I'll do my best to find a solution."
Yin Yunjie took the initiative to take on the task of preparing household necessities, but as a careless man, his level of meticulousness was obviously not comparable to that of a delicate girl, and many details were inevitably overlooked, which required Xu Qinghe to directly put forward specific demands.
Xu Qinghe quickly waved his hand, "Really? No need. What we have now, plus the old furniture I found, is more than enough. Don't waste money anymore. Be frugal with your money and coupons. They will definitely be of greater use to us in the future."
She was afraid that Yin Yunjie would spend money lavishly on a whim, and then every old item she had collected with great effort would lose its meaning.
There are many treasures hidden in her space. She just needs to be self-sufficient in private and does not need to overspend on external material things.
