Huang Minghao, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room and teasing Tangtang, glanced at Jiang Shuya on the balcony and frowned. In the past, when he saw her, he would hear her chattering non-stop, not like this time when she was silent: "Did you ask someone to build the house next to grandpa's house?" Huang Minghao asked.

"Yes, I told you before. Because you are not here, the household registration has been changed to a separate household, and the head of the household has been changed to my name. Grandpa was the one who made the decision to change it, and Dad agreed." Jiang Shuya said as she put away the clothes that were drying on the balcony.

"The money for building the house came from my parents. I've told you this before."

Huang Minghao moved Tangtang towards the sofa and placed the rattle on the coffee table in front of her. Tangtang grabbed it with one hand, shook it, and hummed along with the rhythm.

Huang Minghao walked to the balcony with a disdainful smile on his face: "Don't mention the household owner in advance, don't beat around the bush, what on earth are your parents thinking, why would they agree to lend money so readily."

Thinking that Huang Minghao went to his grandfather's house first after returning, he should have heard something about it, so he didn't keep it a secret and responded, "Yes, I promise to sell a house to Shuhuai at the resettlement price when the house is demolished in the future. As for the money owed, I will pay it back after my parents agree to the demolition and get the demolition compensation."

"Just as I expected, how could such a stingy person be willing to pluck the feathers? It is true that like father, like daughter. It would be a shame not to take advantage of such a great opportunity." Huang Minghao sneered.

"Don't be so harsh. I know what kind of people my parents are. I was the one who proposed the plan to build a house, and they were indeed tempted. Otherwise, where would the 100,000 yuan come from? Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Besides, they are my parents who raised me. They have no obligation to provide free help. As children, even if they are dissatisfied, they should not say hurtful words."

Jiang Shuya looked up at him and continued to refute: "Just think about it. According to your mother's suggestion, if we sell the homestead to your uncle's family for 10,000 yuan, it will only be worth 10,000 yuan after it is demolished in the future. If we build it ourselves, even if we get three houses, we can sell one to Shuhuai and get two more. What's more, there are hundreds of thousands of additional compensations. Please do the math and see which one is more cost-effective."

Jiang Shuya knew that because of this piece of housing land, she had completely offended her uncle's family. Plus, her aunt and the others were all people who liked to smooth things over. Grandpa was the one who understood the situation best. Thinking of this, she felt more relieved. As long as her grandfather was there, no one else could cause any trouble.

Huang Minghao didn't expect that Jiang Shuya, who was always timid, could clearly explain the reason. Seeing her determined eyes, the words of rebuttal came to his lips but he swallowed them back.

Jiang Shuya turned her head away from his expression, continued to put away the clothes drying rack, and immediately flashed past him with the clothes in her arms and went to the bedroom. The next moment Huang Minghao also followed, and Jiang Shuya, who was busy sorting out the clothes, was held in his arms, and his big hands rubbed her body, completely forgetting Tangtang who was sitting on the sofa outside the door.

"Take off your clothes, I want it now." Huang Minghao whispered in her ear.

Jiang Shuya instinctively pushed him away and whispered, "Is Tangtang outside?"

"Give her to my mother." Huang Minghao pulled her up and put his hand into her clothes again.

At this time, Tangtang, who was sitting on the sofa outside the door, saw that no one paid attention to the rattle that fell on the ground, so she cried out "Ah," which instantly startled the two people in the bedroom. Jiang Shuya heard it and ran out, picked up the rattle on the ground, picked up Tangtang and patted her, then turned to look at Huang Minghao who was standing at the bedroom door and smiled awkwardly.

I secretly gave Tangtang a thumbs up in my heart.

"You just came back, take a rest for a while. I'll carry Tangtang downstairs for a walk." After Jiang Shuya said this, she picked up Tangtang and went downstairs.

When the old man saw her coming down, he went upstairs to see his son whom he hadn't seen for half a year. In the evening, Huang Minghao casually put on a short-sleeved T-shirt and walked out of the house. When he saw Jiang Shuya coming back with Tangtang, he just greeted her and walked towards his grandfather's house without saying a word.

Still the same, no smile, no concern, no heart-to-heart conversation, as if she were a stranger. This made people feel depressed and angry in the long run. Although she had not experienced any passionate love, she believed that a harmonious married life would definitely not be like this.

After returning home, she washed and dressed herself and Tangtang as usual, but Huang Minghao did not come home all night. Just like in his previous life, in the month after he came back, he slept at home during the day and went out to eat at night, playing cards all night long. Today he went to his uncle's house, tomorrow he went to his third aunt's house, his eldest uncle's house, his eldest aunt's house, his classmate's house, his childhood friend's house, his uncle-in-law's house, his younger brother-in-law's house, his fifth uncle's house... and so on. It was in this order in his previous life. He used the daytime to recuperate and rest, and in the evening he would meet with his long-lost relatives, talk about everything under the sun.

He only left his wife and children at home and completely ignored them. On the second day of this process, Jiang Shuya received another order from Software Avenue, 230 boxes of grapes from Manager Wang.

It was the business introduced by Gate C last time. The grapes were of good quality and taste, and most importantly, the price was affordable, still 40 per box. Jiang Shuya was not sure whether Zhang Xiaohui had enough grapes, so she went to Grandma Sun's house to ask. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Sun Qi sweeping the yard wearing Grandma Sun's apron. Jiang Shuya felt a little embarrassed by her tall and thin figure, so she quickly took off her gloves and took the initiative to say hello: "Sister-in-law, come in and talk. I heard that Brother Minghao is back, right!"

Jiang Shuya smiled and nodded and explained her purpose directly. When she learned that the quantity might not be enough, she went to Zhang Xiaohui's place again. In total, the two families could barely get together 230 boxes, so they agreed on a time to pick the grapes.

Looking at the time, Huang Minghao should get up. When Jiang Shuya saw him leaving home, she stopped him and said, "I need to help deliver grapes to Software Avenue tomorrow. Can you help me?"

"No, I have something to do." After saying that, he left without looking back. She had seen such scenes too many times and was not surprised at all, nor did she have any illusions about it anymore. The husband and wife who supported each other in harmony, which she had once longed for, had never been realized.

I went upstairs and rubbed my sore arms. Tangtang had gained a lot of weight during this period and was unwilling to sit in a stroller. She needed someone to hold her all day long. Her arms became numb and sore.

Looking at the mess on the bed, this bed was in non-stop black and white service 24 hours a day, covering people during the day and sleeping on them at night without a break. She grabbed the quilt cover, sheets, and pillowcases and stuffed them into the washing machine, then found a clean four-piece set in the closet and put them on. Her biggest wish now was to send this man away. Thinking that he would leave in less than a month, her uneasy mood eased.
