Chapter 62 Restoring Water and Power (33)
So she had to say that Ren Xing's arrival was really a coincidence. If it were any other night, she wouldn't have been able to take pictures of people so smoothly. And all this was thanks to the two people who were eager to cause trouble for Lan Jin.
But after Ren Xing left and didn't show up for several days in a row, Meng Ying felt unhappy. What happened? Did Ren Xing stay with Lan Jin and live a good life with her?
But even if you want to break up, you should at least tell her. What does it mean to just throw her out there now?
More importantly, Ren Xing would never stay with Lan Jin unless he had something good to offer. In other words, Lan Jin was actually living a pretty good life during those few months when they were suffering.
This is terrible. Ren Xing is not coming back, and his ex-wife is living so well. Maybe the family of three will continue to live well. How can Meng Ying accept this?
The point is, this is not the point.
The house Meng Ying lives in now is the one she and Ren Xing rented. The owner of the house and his family died in a flood elsewhere, and the property became an ownerless property. But precisely because it is an ownerless property, how can Meng Ying live alone?
This house is a small three-bedroom apartment with an area of more than 100 square meters. According to Ren Xing and her savings, it is impossible to rent such a large house. But since this was to piss off Lan Jin, they could afford it just barely. Nowadays, houses of 50 or 60 square meters outside have to be crammed with 3 or 4 families, not to mention houses of more than 100 square meters. Meng Ying used all her tricks to keep the smallest study in this house.
As for the rest, a family of six lived in the master bedroom, a family of four lived in the second bedroom, a young couple lived in the dining room with a partition, and a family of three lived in the living room with a partition.
Not only was there a small apartment of just over 100 square meters, but there were five different families living there, including both men and women. At one point, Meng Ying felt like she couldn't even breathe.
But even if she went to look for Lan Jin, she wouldn't be able to find her, because Ren Xing never mentioned where Lan Jin's apartments were. J City was so big, with so many people, how could she find her?
In short, ever since several other families moved into this rental house, Meng Ying was in agony every day, cursing these two people from morning to night, while Lan Jin didn't care about Meng Ying at all.
But to be honest, Meng Ying had never suffered such grievances in her previous life, because at the beginning, in order to prevent others from living in their rental house, Ren Xing directly asked Ren's mother to buy the property. Otherwise, with so many strangers living in the same house, how could they use the children to threaten Lan Jin.
As for why they didn't move directly to Lan Jin's house, after all, she lived alone. It was because as soon as they went there, Lan Jin would chop them with a knife. The two were afraid that Lan Jin would kill them silently after they fell asleep, so they really didn't dare to sleep together directly.
No matter what happened in the previous life, Ren Xingren is gone now, so naturally he can't care about how Meng Ying will live.
After all these people's accommodation was in place, water and electricity were finally restored.
And at the end of August, they finally used the long-lost electric fans for the first time.
As for the air conditioner, it consumes so much electricity that I don’t know if the newly repaired electrical wires can handle it, so I’m not allowed to use it at all.
But it's a good thing to have an electric fan. God knows how hot it has been these days. What's more important is to take a shower.
Almost as soon as the water supply was restored throughout the city, everyone could not help but rush into the bathroom, regardless of whether it was hot or cold water, to wash off the bad smell on their bodies first.
People on the lower floors were fine, but for people on the higher floors like them, the water pressure was completely useless and the water flow was pitifully small. It was not until two hours later, when all the people who needed to take a bath had finished, that the water pressure upstairs returned to normal.
Lan Jin and Ren Siqiao did not join in the fun. There was water in her space. Even if the thatched hut in her space could not use a water heater, as long as there was water, there was always a way to take a bath. The mother and daughter were clean from beginning to end, so naturally they did not join in the fun at this time.
When the water pressure finally returned to normal, Huang Jinghe contacted her via intercom.
That’s right, it was a walkie-talkie. Even though the water and electricity had been repaired, the signal had not been restored yet, so the two of them still used the walkie-talkie to communicate.
But the signal won’t take too long, just one or two days.
Lan Jin: "What's wrong?"
Huang Jinghe: "Sister Lan, we don't need to store water now. I'm scared of the water. Even if the water comes, I'm worried that it will suddenly stop again."
They didn't need it for now, but it wouldn't be long before the people above would impose time limits on their water use under the rising temperatures. Besides, it wasn't that long before Lan Jin thought about it and replied, "I think we should stay for a while. No one can predict the situation outside."
When Huang Jinghe heard what Lan Jin said, he also decided to keep the water he had saved before. "Okay, I'll just keep using water as I did before. Anyway, as long as there is always water at home, that's all I need."
Lan Jin: "Well, this is always safer. Oh, by the way, charge your phone while the power is restored. Your parents will probably call you when the signal comes back. It's been over a month, and they must be very worried about you."
Huang Jinghe: "Yes, I know Sister Lan."
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and when there was nothing more to talk about, they put down the walkie-talkie. It must be said that having a walkie-talkie is really convenient when necessary.
At around 9 o'clock the next evening, the long-lost signal was finally restored. Almost at the same time, everyone took out their mobile phones, either checking messages or calling their loved ones.
Lan Jin didn't have anyone to contact, but Ren Xing's parents were still alive. The two old people couldn't contact Ren Xing, and after hearing from Meng Ying that Ren Xing and Lan Jin had "reunited", the call was immediately made to Lan Jin.
As for Lan Jin, "Ah, no, Ren Xing never came to see me."
Ren's mother said in surprise: "No, Yingying said that Ren Xing and you got back together."
Yingying? This name is quite affectionate. She and Ren Xing have been married for so many years, and Ren's mother has always called her Lanjin. It seems that these two get along well.
Lan Jin replied coldly, "Auntie, why would I get back together with Ren Xing? I divorced him because he found a mistress outside. Wouldn't it be cheap of me to get back together with him?"
When Ren's mother heard Lan Jin's attitude, she felt unhappy. "Lan Jin, after all, I was your mother-in-law before. How can you talk to me like that?"
