Chapter 100: Build Two Rooms

"Isn't this just the cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest?" said an aunt who had a good relationship with Hongling.

Another young woman also said, "That's right. It's reasonable to let my mother live there, but it's the first time I've heard of letting my sister and nephew live there..."

Hu Weidong's face turned red with embarrassment. He looked around the crowded small living room. Normally he was away from home on business trips, so naturally he couldn't understand Qiu Hongling's feelings. But now he was facing his aggressive father-in-law and mother-in-law. Isn't this exactly how Qiu Hongling felt when she was facing her mother?

Chen Suniang's original intention was to criticize him. She had just been eavesdropping and was so angry that she couldn't control herself. Now she simply climbed up the pole and said, "Don't ask me this question, go ask your wife!"

Hu Weidong held Qiu Hongling's hand and saw her slender wrist and calloused palms. This time he said with some guilt, "I'm sorry for making you suffer. Let's move to the old house."

The elder sister-in-law didn't say a word, she just kept crying, and her baby cried at the same time, which was really annoying.

When Mother Hu heard the discussion, she was so embarrassed that she immediately lay on the ground, "A daughter who is married off is like water spilled, they are bullying me..."

She had completely forgotten that her daughter was right beside her. When her sister-in-law heard her shouting, she immediately stopped crying and lowered her head silently.

Hu Weidong looked left and right with a tangled expression. Qiu Hongling pulled back her hands and said, "You should take care of mom first. My parents and I will stay in a guesthouse today."

The sky outside was getting darker and the wind was blowing stronger.

Chen Suniang said with a smile: "How about this, kid, I'll leave this house for you to marry a wife in the future?"

He turned back to the living room and gave the money to Chen Suniang.

After the cleaning was completed, Chen Suniang and her group moved into the old house. The old woman came to make trouble a few more times, so Hu Weidong simply changed the door locks. He applied for his previous position at his unit and it is estimated that it will be approved in the next few days.

Chen Suniang collected the money and came out to ask her eldest sister, "Why hasn't my little sister come back yet?"

In fact, the location of the old house is very good, only ten minutes away from the caravan. The old house is built on the south side of the inland river and has a spacious courtyard. The house is just a little old, but many of the furniture inside are ready-made. Just move in daily necessities and beddings, clean it up, and you can live in it.

She sighed. They were all her ancestors, and she couldn't bear to let any of them suffer.

"She's watching TV at Xiaoyun's house..." Before he could finish his words, he heard hurried footsteps coming from the door, followed by his younger sister's shouting, "What a strong wind, it's going to blow me away, don't be afraid, Luhuaji, I'll let you go back to the firewood room..."

The eldest sister answered, "That's for sure."

"What else? Isn't it my duty to respect you?"

Qiu Jianshe, who was sitting at the dining table, had a slight smile on his face, especially when he was talking about his argument, a sense of complacency lingered in his expression.

"That's impossible. If this gets out, how can I, Hu Weidong, still have the nerve to stay in the company?! Dad, Mom, let's go out for dinner first. Come on, Hongling, you hold Mom. I'll clean up the old house in the afternoon, and move the commonly used things here in the evening, and we'll live in the old house."

The old house, after being cleaned up, is much more spacious than a building.

"Then I'll use your money to cover the cost first, and I'll pay you back slowly later."

Mother Hu wanted to wail for a moment, but when she saw her son staring at her, she swallowed her tears and stood up with the help of her sister-in-law.

Qiu Huoming:...

Chen Suniang glanced at her son. How could she not understand his expression? She immediately said, "Don't worry, Mom can still make money. Remember this money. You are going to take the college entrance examination, right? Wait until you finish the exam before starting the work. Don't worry. I will go and ask about the price tomorrow morning. Your nephew Zhao is very familiar with us and will not ask for a random price."

The cut fish was placed on an enamel plate and covered with a piece of gauze.

After all, he is a man who has seen the world, and his words are flawless.

"Your brother-in-law handled this matter quite well. This way, he can stay at home every day. Your sister is pregnant, so she really needs someone by her side to take care of her when something happens."

Qiu Jianshe didn't care about this kind of issue that didn't involve principles.

The aroma of malted milk made by her son still lingered in her mouth. After a while, her younger sister ran in and stuffed a small piece of honey cake into her hand.

Of course, Chen Suniang selectively told about the things that happened in those days, and Qiu Huoming, who was sitting on the stool, and her elder sister, who was nestled beside her, listened attentively.

After hearing his fill of gossip, Qiu Huoming returned to his small room contentedly. He took out the royalties he had received last time from the drawer and added a little more to make a total of 150 yuan.

Water was dripping from the eaves. Chen Suniang was already busy in the kitchen, with her eldest sister helping her.

The eldest sister said with a smile: "Mom, the fish in the kitchen needs to be steamed. Please teach me how to make it. I always can't control the heat well."

"Here at home, your father and I plan to build a bathroom and another one for a bedroom. I want your sister to return to Wucheng County to give birth. I can still take care of her during the confinement period. Her mother-in-law is really unreliable. Your brother-in-law has been transferred back to work. He can also come and stay in our county when he commutes back and forth."

The little sister jumped up and down and chased the chicken into the firewood room, then she opened the screen door. A gust of wind blew behind her, and then raindrops as big as beans fell to the ground with a "crackling" sound.

The couple began to discuss.

She glanced at the current living room and suddenly felt that this house that she had forced herself to have was not so attractive.

Qiu Huoming nodded, "I agree, Mom. You can use the money I gave you last time to build a house. The royalties this time will also be yours. The weather is getting hot, so we have to start the construction."

"There are also bricks. The bricks behind Huoming's house are definitely not enough to build two houses. You often go to the countryside, right? There is a brick kiln nearby. Ask about the price. If it's cheap, we can endure some hardship and transport it back ourselves..."

Qiu Jianshe nodded, "Okay, it's just a matter of one word."

As soon as she got home, she didn't rest for long before she started working again. She pounded her waist. A soft little hand had already reached out and pounded her waist gently. While pounding, the eldest sister asked, "Mom, is this enough?"

Chen Suniang sighed, "This guy still needs to make a fuss. The honest man has suffered the most!"

Chen Suniang turned on the lights in the living room, and her younger sister jumped over excitedly, "Mom, did you defeat the bad guys?"

The other party has already taken a step back and agreed to move to the old house. Could she possibly cry and move in with him? At the beginning, she used the excuse that the old house was damp and her body couldn't stand it, so she moved in forcefully.

"Okay, Mom. Uncle Chen gave my brother some honey cake last night. I ate a small piece this morning and left a little for you. I'll get it for you..."

After saying that, he turned to look at Qiu Jianshe, "Hey, Old Qiu, don't you know someone from the cement factory? Let's buy some cement and bring it back ourselves. This can save a lot of money!"

Chen Suniang slapped her forehead. All her children were steady, but her youngest daughter had a lively personality. She didn't know who she looked like.

I can only work harder myself.

She sighed, but her eyes were full of smiles. After a while, the aroma of fish wafted out of the bamboo steamer. The fish was divided into two parts. As usual, a small portion was steamed and eaten that night, and the other larger portion was marinated and then fried, otherwise it would not be able to be preserved in such hot weather.
