Chapter 319 The siblings live next door and can easily freeload meals.
The sky was getting dark.
Busy residents of Hefeng Town headed home.
Even in the town, few people are willing to go out after sunset.
The sun is like the most effective alarm clock, constantly reminding everyone that it's time to go home!
Wan Qiqi didn't know what she had been busy with today, she just felt tired.
Opening the courtyard gate and seeing the pile of bedding, she felt a headache coming on.
Tao Ran's courtyard had been abandoned for who knows how long; a thick layer of fallen leaves covered the yard, and a thin layer of dust accumulated inside the house.
If I want to stay here tonight, I'll have to clean up first.
Wu Gousheng noticed Wan Qiqi's fatigue and said, "Sister Qi, leave the work to our sister-in-law. You can sit down and rest first."
As he spoke, he found two lanterns in the house, lit candles, and hung them under the eaves.
Suddenly, the dimly lit courtyard became much brighter under the candlelight.
We need light to work properly.
Erpang and Tieniu had already worked a full day at the restaurant, and they still had to work at their lodgings, so they looked quite tired.
But they had never lived in such a nice house before, and they were quite excited, so they put a lot of effort into cleaning it.
Instead of sitting idly, Wan Qiqi found a wooden bucket, lifted the well cover in the yard, and used the bucket to draw water.
The courtyard not only contained bedding, but also various other small household items, all of which Wan Qiqi had purchased from the mall.
In total, it was only two or three taels of silver.
Having a new home in town, it's natural to want to furnish and tidy it up properly.
The living room and bedroom on the first floor are similar in size and very bright.
The bedroom even has a row of beds, enough to sleep several people.
Wan Qiqi suspected that this room was originally intended for servants by Wan Ziyan, which is why it was arranged this way.
Erpang looked at the beds and said with a grin, "Great! There are so many beds, we can sleep together!"
"I don't have to sleep in a cramped space, just thinking about it makes me feel good." Tie Niu also had a bright smile on his face.
At their age, which is neither too old nor too young, it's actually quite difficult for them to stay at home.
Before he got married, he hardly had a room to himself and had to sleep with his parents.
Seeing their reaction, Wan Qiqi didn't say anything more.
She planned to stay in one of the two rooms on the second floor with her child, and leave the other room for the rest of the Chen family to stay in.
The staircase to the second floor is not inside the building, but on the side of the exterior wall. Therefore, there is no living room on the second floor, but rather two rooms on the left and right sides of a long corridor.
The size of these two rooms corresponds to that of the living room and bedroom, so they both appear to be quite large.
One of them was clearly set up as a bedroom.
The other room resembled a study, furnished with several bookshelves and a desk.
Wan Qiqi told everyone to tidy up their own living quarters first, and to take their time with the other places.
She also tidied up her own bedroom.
As soon as she stepped out of her room, she saw Wan Ziyan's house across the street in the corridor.
The lights inside the house were on, and wisps of smoke rose from the kitchen, suggesting that someone was still cooking.
This spot offers an excellent view of Wan Ziyan's house!
No wonder Tao Ran chose this location to buy a house.
Wan Qiqi only watched for a short while before immediately throwing herself into sweeping.
Half an hour later, it was completely dark, and the two rooms where we slept were finally cleaned.
While the three people on the first floor were being kidnapped, they started chatting.
"Brother Gousheng, Sister Qi is really different from before!" Tie Niu said excitedly. "She just helped me clean up!"
"I knew it before you did," Erpang said proudly.
Wu Gousheng sat on a chair to the side watching the two put on their blankets, then raised his head and said, "The boss I chose is naturally different!"
As he spoke, he tapped the table and said, "Remember this, from now on, Sister Qi's words are my words. Do whatever she tells you to do, and don't ask any questions."
Tie Niu voiced his doubts and asked, "If it's a criminal act, should we do it too?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Gousheng immediately gave Erpang a wink.
Erpang slapped Tie Niu on the head.
"I'm telling you, Sister Qi would never do anything criminal!" Wu Gousheng's voice rose a few decibels. "You either believe Sister Qi unconditionally, or get out of here right now, go back to Lotus Village, and don't ever come looking for me again. I know you!"
Wu Gousheng was the most loyal among these brothers, and saying such things was the greatest recognition of Wan Qiqi.
"I was wrong, I was just saying..." Tie Niu lowered his head, feeling wronged.
“You can’t just say it casually!” In Wu Gousheng’s eyes, absolute obedience is the only true principle.
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.
Although Erpang was slightly chubby, he was very agile and put on his shoes and walked out before Tie Niu could.
He opened his eyes and met the gaze of the boy outside the door.
Both of them were stunned for a moment.
The young man opposite him smiled slightly and asked, "Is Miss Wan at home?"
"Who are you?" Erpang frowned slightly, a hint of wariness in his eyes.
"I am Alai, a servant of the Wan family next door. My young master asked me to call Miss over for dinner."
Ah Lai's calm and polite demeanor made Er Pang feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Seeing that no one had come in for a while, Wu Gousheng also came out.
He recognized A-Lai and immediately walked over with a smile, "A-Lai, what brings you here?"
When Alai saw Wu Gousheng, he became more lively and said, "Where is your sister? My young master asked me to invite you to dinner."
Wu Gousheng and his group had already eaten at the restaurant.
But he felt that this was Master Wan's intention, so he did not refuse, but instead asked Wan Qiqi for her opinion.
Wan Qiqi heard the voices and came down. She said to Alai, "I told him not to bother, but he still has the same temper."
