Seeing that Jiang Yanqiu didn't react, Li Anan continued, "If you don't believe me, go ask Chu Tingnan. He looks lazy, but he's actually a nice guy.

Our yard isn't like other yards that are rented out to companies and arranged by the company. Ours is rented out to everyone on the street, so it's a mixed bag. But since you have a separate yard, it won't affect you much!

In the end, Jiang Yanqiu compromised. She had been looking for a house for a week but still couldn't find a suitable one.

Having a place to live can solve some troubles, which is better than living in the Jiang family.

The point is that the things she checked in are still at the freight station and she hasn't picked them up yet. Is she afraid that her things will be lost if time passes?

Jiang Yanqiu didn't go to see the house again, and the two of them went directly to the street office to handle the procedures.

The people in the street knew Jiang Yanqiu and were even more familiar with Li Anan, so there were no problems with the procedures.

After completing the formalities, Jiang Yanqiu went to the guesthouse to check out and get her things.

Seeing this, Li Anan asked curiously, "Aren't you a local? Why are you staying in a guesthouse?"

Jiang Yanqiu answered directly: "I'm in Xicheng District. I don't want to go back for the time being."

Along the way, Li Anan explained to Jiang Yanqiu that the house was her biological mother's dowry, and her father was almost a son-in-law, but her biological mother died when she was two years old.

Before she died, her mother told the people in the street that the three houses would be left to Li Anan.

The three main rooms will be given to Li's father to live in, and after Li's father dies, the house will still belong to Li Anan.

The others were rented to the streets free of charge for twenty years, and it’s already been nineteen years!

Her biological father and stepmother were both nice to her, but a daughter can't compare to a son after all.

Her father still wanted to transfer her house to his son, and now he was not letting go of the other three houses either.

Jiang Yanqiu thought that let alone a courtyard house in Beijing, such a big house would be impossible to buy even in the countryside even if you had money. Who wouldn't be envious, let alone a stepmother!

The stepmother was probably being nice to Li Anan just out of appearances for the sake of the house.

Jiang Yanqiu even guessed that the mastermind behind the kidnapping might be her stepmother. It is rare for a stepmother to be so nice to her first daughter.

When the two came back, they ran into Nan Wanwu in the alley.

Li Anan quickly introduced: "This is Aunt Nan, we are from the compound next door. If I'm not around in the future, you can ask Aunt Nan for help if you have any problems. Aunt Nan, this is my friend, she will live with me from now on. I'll have to trouble you to take care of me when I'm in school."

Jiang Yanqiu also greeted her obediently: "Hello, Aunt Nan."

Nan Wanwu responded readily, "Okay!"

But her eyes were always fixed on Jiang Yanqiu. She always felt that this little girl looked a little familiar. When she came to her senses, she had already walked away.

After they entered the yard, Li Anan spoke, "That's Chu Tingnan's mother. She's an executive at a nearby bank. She has a hot temper, but she's very kind-hearted."

Jiang Yanqiu smiled and said, "The last time I came here to look for an apartment, I happened to see her chasing after Chu Tingnan."

Li Anan was also amused. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. I saw it that day, too. People around here are used to it. Chu Tingnan has always been a man who would tear down the roof if he wasn't punished for three days. Are you two educated youth from the same place?"

Jiang Yanqiu didn't hide it and said, "We're from the same district, but we don't know each other well. I saw them fighting before, and then we ran into each other again on the train, and we just happened to sit next to each other."

Nan Wanwu returned home and happened to see Chu Tingnan coming back covered in mud. She couldn't help but sneer, "Your future partner rented Li Anan's house, and you didn't even go and help."

Chu Tingnan frowned and said, "Didn't you say you didn't want to rent it anymore? Why did you rent it again? I have to go and take a look, don't let anyone cheat you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away as if his feet were greased.

Nan Wanwu shouted from behind, "Why don't you change your clothes? It's strange that someone would like you like this."

There was no trace of Chu Tingnan anywhere. Nan Wanwu could only helplessly mutter to herself: "I'm afraid I'll never find a partner at this rate!"

Li Anan carefully told Jiang Yanqiu about the situation in the compound.

The house had four courtyards in total. In addition to her three rooms and the Li family's three rooms, there were thirty-eight rooms, two of which were public toilets, one child's room was empty, and the remaining thirty-five rooms were currently occupied by sixteen families.

There are four families living in the four-courtyard house. There is a back door. If you don’t go through the front door, the road will be blocked.

On the other side of the third courtyard, two educated youth lived in the four rooms, one single and the other married. However, they were busy with work and went out early and came back late, so they were rarely seen.

Aunt Lai, who lives in the west wing of the two main rooms in front of Jiang Yanqiu, looks smiling, but actually likes to take advantage of small things and steal things. You have to be careful with her.

Uncle Liu, who lived in the east wing with three main rooms and two side rooms, participated in the War of Liberation and became lame in one leg during the war.

Now he likes to use his past military achievements to take advantage of others. If you don’t give him what he wants, he will use his military achievements to pressure you.

There were two families living in the east wing before, and one of them was directly kicked out by his family. She lived in the other person's house but did not pay rent to the street.

The Ye family lives in the west wing with three main rooms and one ear room. Their second son is the deputy chief of the security department of the machinery factory and married the daughter of a factory leader.

The third son was an educated youth who went to the countryside. After returning to the city, he took over Ye's mother's job and brought back a wife who was an educated youth.

The whole family thought that the female educated youth deliberately married their son in order to return to the city, so they treated her very badly.

Now my second daughter-in-law has given birth to twin sons. She is just like the wives in the old society. She doesn’t have to do anything and the whole family still pampers her.

The third daughter-in-law was like a servant in the old society. She had to do all the housework. She was despised and scolded all day long, and was even said to be eating for free.

The third son of the Ye family is also a soft persimmon. He dares not say a word in front of Ye's mother. He can only try his best to help his wife with more work, but he still gets scolded as a result.

There were two families living on the east side of the main hall. The Zhang family had a daughter named Liujiu who had an accident in the countryside and became lame.

After retiring due to illness, it was difficult to find a job or a partner.

She was left to do all the housework alone, and was scolded by her sister-in-law every day for being a freeloader, but her parents didn't dare to say anything.

The Zhu family lived in the three rooms to the west of the main hall. They had four sons, two of whom had gone to the countryside.

One of the students from the third batch came back this year. He is always timid and seems a little nervous. We need to pay more attention to him.

The two rooms to the east of the front gate are toilets, and the other four rooms are occupied by three families.

The others who have not been introduced are all young and normal.

However, there are quite a few strange things in this yard, and they are all concentrated in the second courtyard. However, the second courtyard also has the most people, so it is no wonder that Chu Tingnan said that this yard is unsafe.
