"Oh, you're so old and still playing with dolls. If my neighbor's grandson likes it, just give it to him. Look how stingy you are."

"That's right, I'm the only heir in the Zhao family for four generations. My grandma said that all the good things in the world belong to me!"

"You're right, Jiabao is so smart!"

Lin Hao opened his eyes and found himself standing in the corridor. In front of him was an old woman with a pointed face and monkey cheeks, holding a chubby little boy and spitting feces incessantly.

The plot came to mind.

The original body, Li Jiajia, was abandoned in a trash can as soon as she was born. The kind-hearted old scavenger Li Tiesuo couldn't bear it and took her home to raise her.

Li Tiesuo was extremely poor and had trouble even eating and drinking, but he gritted his teeth to buy milk powder and clothes for Li Jiajia, and worked from dawn to dusk to support her schooling.

Everyone around him advised Li Tiesuo not to work so hard, saying that the girl was just worthless and all he needed to do was feed her and raise her.

Li Tiesuo insisted that going to school was the only way out, and as long as Li Jiajia was willing to go, he would sell everything he had to support her.

Li Jiajia also worked hard and was admitted to key junior high schools, key high schools, and key universities. She was always the top student in the school and received many scholarships.

After graduation, Li Jiajia used the money she saved from part-time work to start a business and wanted to bring Li Tiesuo to live with her in the city.

However, Li Tiesuo was worried that his age would cause trouble for his daughter, so he refused to come.

Li Jiajia had no choice but to spend some money to renovate the two rooms in her home and installed a water heater and air conditioner for Li Tiesuo.

He also gave the neighbor two thousand yuan a year and asked him to check on Li Tiesuo whenever he wanted.

Just like that, after three years of hard work, Li Jiajia's small company got on track. She bought a two-bedroom apartment in the city and insisted on taking Li Tiesuo over.

Seeing that his daughter had settled down in the city, Li Tiesuo agreed to come.

The father and daughter were finally reunited, but after just two days of peace, Li Tiesuo suddenly felt unwell. He went to the hospital for a check-up and found out he had cancer. It would cost at least 800,000 yuan to cure him, and there was no guarantee that he would not relapse.

In order to pay for Li Tiesuo's medical treatment, Li Jiajia sold her newly bought house and moved to a village in the city.

The quality of residents in the urban village varies greatly, especially Li Jiajia's neighbor, Mrs. Zhao's family, who are simply weird.

Zhao Jiabao, the little grandson of the Zhao family, is seven years old and has just entered the second grade of primary school. He is noisy and teasing cats and dogs all day long. He is recognized as a super naughty child by the neighbors.

Li Jiajia has to go to the hospital to take care of Li Tiesuo during the day, and has to work at the company. When she returns home late at night and wants to take a nap, she will be woken up by Zhao Jiabao.

Zhao Jiabao is very energetic. He makes noises until one or two o'clock in the morning and screams and runs around at five or six o'clock in the morning.

The houses in the urban village are all privately built and have poor sound insulation. Li Jiajia tried various methods to block out the noise, but all failed.

I want to move somewhere else but can't afford the high rent.

I reported the problem to the landlord, but he said it was not his house and he had no control over it.

There was no other way, Li Jiajia could only buy a bag of fruit snacks and go to the old lady of the Zhao family, asking them in a nice voice to take care of the child and not make trouble so late at night.

Old Mrs. Zhao accepted the gift and agreed readily.

But at night, Zhao Jiabao was still making a fuss.

Li Jiajia was very annoyed and couldn't help but knock on Zhao's door.

The person who opened the door was Old Lady Zhao’s daughter-in-law, Zhao Jiabao’s mother Su Tingting.

"Hello, sister. I'm your next-door neighbor. It's already one o'clock. Can you let your Jiabao be quiet for a while?"

"I have to go to work during the day and go to the hospital to take care of the elderly. I really can't stand this every day."

Su Tingting rolled her eyes. "Why, do you want to stifle your child's nature? Which child doesn't make noise? Why don't other families say anything, but you are the only one who makes a fuss?"

Before Li Jiajia could finish her words, she was interrupted.

A few days ago, she asked the neighbors about the Zhao family's situation. The neighbors said that the old lady and daughter-in-law of the Zhao family were very aggressive, and the men of the Zhao family were also unreasonable and would swing their fists at any time. They advised her not to provoke them.

"Honey, who's here?"

A burly man came out of the room. He was Zhao Jiabao's father, Zhao Qiang.

Su Tingting snorted in annoyance.

"Who else could it be? It must be the troublemaker next door. She insisted that our son disturbed her sleep, even though I didn't feel any noise in the room. I think she's just looking for trouble!"

"I've told you to buy a house soon, but you refused to listen. Now, there's no house available over there, so I'm stuck in this small place. There are all kinds of people here, and it's so annoying."

"Don't be angry, honey. Go back to your room and rest. I'll take care of it."

Zhao Qiang coaxed Su Tingting back into the house in a gentle tone, then turned around and changed his expression, glaring at Li Jiajia fiercely.

"You are the one who is making things difficult for my wife and children?"

Li Jiajia was speechless. "Brother, can you please be reasonable? How did I embarrass your wife and child? It's your child who keeps me awake late at night. I'm talking to you in a nice way. Am I making things difficult for you?"

"What does my child playing at my house have to do with you? If you think it's noisy, go buy a house. Why are you living here? If you don't have money, stop nagging. It's not your place to meddle in my family's affairs!"

After saying that, Zhao Qiang punched the wall in a protest, and the wall dust fell all over Li Jiajia.

"Okay, why are you telling her so much?"

Su Tingting pulled him and said sarcastically, "I've never seen such a stingy person, arguing with a child."

"You!" Li Jiajia was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"What do you mean? Why, do you still want to fight?"

Su Tingting walked up to her and pushed her, slapping her face.

"Come on, hit me, hit me here! If you dare to touch me, I'll blackmail you to death. I'm worried about paying the mortgage!"

Li Jiajia staggered and dodged when she pushed her but didn't dare to fight back. She waved her hands and kept explaining, "Sister, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to hit you."

The house hasn't been sold yet, and the hospital is asking for money every day. If she really blackmails me, it will be terrible if I have no money to pay the medical bills.

"You're smart." Su Tingting snorted complacently, pulled Zhao Qiang and turned back to the house.

Seeing that she couldn't afford to offend this family, Li Jiajia sighed and gave up the idea of ​​getting entangled with them. She planned to rent a new house after the hospital stabilized and she had time.

The next night, Li Jiajia came back with a sample of the company's new doll, intending to make some changes overnight.

Who would have thought that as soon as I walked out of the stairs, I would run into Zhao Jiabao and Old Mrs. Zhao who were returning home after having fun.

Seeing Li Jiajia holding a furry doll in her arms, Zhao Jiabao's eyes suddenly lit up and he opened his greasy hands to grab it.

Li Jiajia was caught off guard and was almost knocked to the ground by him. She angrily scolded, "What are you doing! This is my stuff!"

Old Mrs. Zhao pursed her lips sarcastically, reached out to snatch the doll and stuffed it into Zhao Jiabao's hands.

"Oh, you're so old and still playing with dolls. If my neighbor's grandson likes it, just give it to him. Look how stingy you are."

“That’s right, I’m…”

The grandparents and grandchildren sang the same tune, leaving Li Jiajia speechless.
