Rebirth of a Farmhouse with Space
Chapter 222 Power Outage
Nan Hua asked Nan Ping to talk less, but Nan Ping acted as if she didn't notice Nan Chen's gesture and kept talking, "Third daughter-in-law, I know your brother from your mother's family works in Kyoto, but as far as I know, he is also old and retired and returned to his hometown two years ago. If you bring your adopted daughter back to your mother's family, will your brother and sister-in-law be happy to let you go? A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Even if they don't say it out loud, they will be unhappy in their hearts. You'd better stop making trouble. At worst, when we come over next time, you can take this girl back upstairs and don't see us. As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind!"
"You! Nanchen, look at what your sister said. She said that if they come over, I should take my daughter and hide. Why? This is my home!" Ms. Dong was furious!
Nan Chen's face also turned cold, "Sister, don't forget what you promised me before!"
Seeing Nan Chen's cold face, Nan Ping immediately pretended to be very honest and said, "Yes, I understand, I'm leaving now!"
After she finished speaking, Nan Ping turned around and left. Her goal had been achieved. She wanted the couple to quarrel and become suspicious of each other!
Just as Nan Ping had predicted, Ms. Dong and Nan Chen had a huge argument. Nan Chen repeatedly explained that they had been released from prison and had already suffered the punishment they deserved. Now they were truly repentant. For the sake of their deceased parents, let's give them another chance, okay? They really had nowhere else to live, so they came to us. Our villa is so big, giving them two annex buildings wouldn't affect us at all!
Nan Chen tried his best to persuade Ms. Dong to forgive them this time. Ms. Dong always felt that this feeling was not right. It was not that she was stingy, but Nan Ping gave people the feeling that she had no remorse at all!
Nan Zhaozhao interrupted their quarreling and said, "Stop arguing and observe them first. If they really haven't changed their ways for a long time, then we won't need to show mercy!"
Nanchen was stunned. He was not used to hearing such harsh words from his sweet and gentle daughter.
Ms. Dong felt relieved. As long as her daughter stood by her, she was not afraid of anything.
Ms. Dong asked, "Xiaobao, what can you do?"
Nan Zhaozhao did not answer, but raised her little hand and conjured up a small mirror out of thin air. With a thought, the Ruyi Mirror turned into the size Nan Zhaozhao wanted. As Nan Zhaozhao's little hand moved across the mirror, the next moment, the scene of the Nanping and Nanhua families gathering together to discuss something appeared on the Ruyi Mirror. Nan Chen and Ms. Dong moved closer to take a closer look.
The two families in the Ruyi Mirror are planning what they should do next to make the relationship between Nanchen and his wife even more strained, and it would be best if they could get divorced!
Nan Chen was so angry when he saw this that he wanted to fight with them and drive them away. "I treat them as my family, but they treat me as their enemy. Fine, fine, Nan Hua and Nan Ping, you brought this upon yourselves!"
Nan Chen was so angry at these people that he started talking to himself. Nan Zhaozhao grabbed him and was about to rush out to settle the score with those people. Nan Chen comforted him, "Dad, don't worry. These people don't deserve to die, but if you go and make things clear now, they will definitely deny it. Then you will still have a bad reputation as someone who doesn't care about relatives and is cruel and ruthless. Instead of that, we might as well try another way!"
Nan Chen was so angry that he almost lost consciousness. After hearing his daughter's analysis, he realized that he was a little impulsive. In the business world, he was a master strategist and had the direction of all events firmly in his hands. He didn't expect to be calculated by his own brothers and sisters. Damn it!
"Xiaobao, do you have any good ideas?"
Nan Zhaozhao smiled and said, "I have a hundred ways to punish them, but I'm afraid they can't bear it. Dad, don't you think the temperature has been getting higher recently? Then let's cut off their water and electricity first. It's 41 or 42 degrees Celsius, without water or air conditioning. I wonder how they can endure it!"
Nan Chen had a flash of inspiration, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"
Ms. Dong asked, "If they turn off the power to the two northwest auxiliary buildings, we don't need to turn off the power to our main building, right?"
Nan Zhaozhao said, "They've all been closed. Otherwise, if they shamelessly move in here, wouldn't that be even more unlucky?"
"Then what do we do?"
"It's okay, I have a cooling talisman that's effective for 24 hours. I've tried it and it works quite well!" Nan Zhaozhao took out a dozen yellow talisman papers from her cross-body backpack and distributed them to her parents, the housekeeper, and every servant in the house.
The power of the talisman paper was activated the moment it was stuck on the body. The servants in the house all felt incredible. The young lady was too powerful. She could always come up with some unexpected treasures.
Seeing that the whole family had put up the talisman paper given by Nan Zhaozhao without exception, Nan Chen asked the housekeeper to take people to turn off the water and electricity for the whole family!
Less than ten minutes after Nan Chen asked the housekeeper to turn off the main valve of the villa, the two families of Nan Hua and Nan Ping, who lived in the two northwest ancillary buildings, came running over. They came to ask Nan Chen why the water and electricity were cut off. Another reason was that they came to see if there was any water or electricity outage in the main building where Nan Chen lived. If not, they would move in now. However, what they didn't expect was that the water and electricity were also cut off on Nan Chen's side!
"How could this happen? Third brother, do you know that on such a hot day, if there is no water or electricity at home, people will die of heat!"
Nan Chen pretended to be helpless and said, "I just received official news that due to the high temperature, both transformer boxes in Banshan Bay have burned out, so everyone is without electricity. If you don't believe me, you can go to other people's homes and check!"
It is impossible to go and see. One reason is that no one knows them. Another reason is that this is a wealthy area where all the important people living here are big shots. How could any security guard tell others about his family's situation?
"What should we do? We can't just die of the heat. Third brother, your family is so rich, you must have a backup generator. Hurry and have someone turn on the backup generator!"
Nan Chen replied, "Really not!"
"If you don't have it, then go buy it!" Nanhua spoke in a commanding tone, as if he was the boss in the family and everyone should listen to him!
"Brother, the weather is so hot, anyone with a little money would have a generator at home. Those stores must be sold out at this time! I definitely can't buy a generator even if I go."
In short, no matter what Nanhua said, Nanchen remained unmoved and sat calmly on the sofa watching the show!
Without air conditioning, the Nanhua and Nanping families were like ants on a hot pan, running around in panic. But no matter what they said, Nanchen remained unmoved and didn't try to find a solution. Without air conditioning, it would be really fatal to live in such high temperatures.
No matter how angry and anxious Nanhua and the others were, Nanchen would not take any action or find a solution, and they could do nothing about it.
