Landlady who likes to hoard land

Xu Jianren stood awkwardly to the side, apologizing.

"I'm sorry, I was riding my bicycle when it suddenly darted out of my way, and by the time I realized it, it was too late to brake."

Xu Jianren mumbled that since this woman was calling herself the puppy's mother, she must have a lot of affection for the puppy, and he couldn't easily get away from her.

The woman ignored Xu Jianren and decisively took out her phone to call the police.

Well, Xu Jianren was speechless after dealing with the police twice during his trip to Shanghai.

The police arrived shortly after and began taking photos as evidence. At that moment, a man in his fifties, who was clearly the woman's husband, rushed over.

"Aya, what happened? How could our Xiaomei be hit and killed?"

The person who came comforted the woman.

"Husband, it was him who killed Xiaomei. He hit her with his electric scooter."

The woman pointed angrily at Xu Jianren, her gentle face contorted with hatred, her eyes filled with a look of utter despair that seemed to want to devour him.

“I told you, it was your dog that suddenly jumped out,” Xu Jianren retorted.

"Don't you watch where you're going when you ride your bike? You must be riding very fast. If you were riding slowly, how could you not be able to stop?" the woman questioned relentlessly.

"This is my first time here. I'm not familiar with the roads, so I'm riding my bike while looking at the navigation. I'm not going very fast at all."

"What are you doing here? You're not a local, are you? You don't look like a good person." The woman looked Xu Jianren up and down suspiciously.

This location is in the suburbs. Apart from a welfare home, the surrounding area consists of old residential areas with no tourist attractions or shopping malls. The woman suspected that Xu Jianren's motives were impure.

"Officer, you really need to check his identity carefully. Could he be a thief scouting the place?"

It must be said that women have very rich imaginations.

"Hello, please show me your ID card." The police officer also became suspicious and began to question Xu Jianren.

"I'm going to the welfare home. It's my first time here, and I don't know the way, so I used navigation. Here, take my ID card."

Xu Jianren took out his ID card and showed it to the police.

The police entered the information: "Huh, you reported a case yesterday? Were you scammed?"

"Yes, yes, it's me. I'm just waiting to pick up some goods to take back. I can't go back empty-handed! I just come here to check on the orphanage when I have nothing else to do."

The policeman also became suspicious; it was the first time he had ever heard of outsiders visiting a welfare home in Shanghai.

Why are you, a truck driver, running to the welfare home instead of waiting for your cargo? Could it be some criminal scouting the place and trying to steal a child?

"Why are you at the welfare home instead of visiting tourist attractions?" the policeman asked sharply.

"That's right, you're trying to steal children from the orphanage, aren't you!" The woman looked Xu Jianren up and down, already convinced that he was a human trafficker.

Xu Jianren felt like he couldn't explain himself even with eight mouths.

"No, that's not it. I wanted to see if anyone would adopt my children. I have twin sons who are only a few months old. My wife ran away, and I'm always driving long distances, so I don't have the ability or time to raise them. I'm thinking of finding someone to adopt them. I thought that Shanghai is a big city with good economic conditions, so maybe I can find a good family to adopt them!"

Xu Jianren confessed honestly and even showed them his phone.

"Look, these are my two sons. Aren't they adorable? It's just that they're unlucky to have been born into my family."

"Officer, look again! I stop at welfare homes every time I drive a long distance. Look at my route, look at the records!"

Xu Jianren handed his phone to the police officer, completely unaware of the increasingly bright eyes of the middle-aged couple beside him.

The police found Xu Jianren's boss's phone number based on his previous police report and called to inquire.

Although Boss Xu Jianren was angry that Xu Jianren had been cheated, he dared not lie about such things and told the truth.

After verifying that there was nothing wrong, the police returned the phone and ID to Xu Jianren.

"Madam, his identity is correct, we have verified it. Now, let's talk about the issue of your dog being run over."

The woman and her husband suddenly broke from their usual behavior and were all smiles.

"It's good that he's okay. As for my dog's problem, we can resolve it ourselves through negotiation, so we won't trouble you."

"Yes, yes, we can handle it ourselves, no need to trouble the officer," the man agreed.

Xu Jianren was completely bewildered. Just a moment ago he was so angry he wanted to devour him, and now he wanted to settle things privately? Then why did you call the police?

People from Shanghai are truly unpredictable.

The police didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters and preferred that the people resolve them themselves. They would take notes, have the people sign the papers, and then leave.

As soon as the police left, the woman immediately spoke in a friendly tone, "Sir, you just said you wanted to find someone to adopt your child?"

"Yes, they are my children, and you?"

Xu Jianren had also figured it out; these two people were interested in his child.

"Oh, that's great! Come, come, sir, let's talk at our house. My house is nearby." The man came over enthusiastically and pulled Xu Jianren along.

Xu Jianren wasn't worried about being deceived; his appearance made him seem like someone who wouldn't be fooled.

The woman called a veterinary hospital to dispose of the Pomeranian's body.

Xu Jianren took the electric scooter back to the resettlement site and then went with the two men to their home.

Goodness, they actually live in a villa. Although it looks like an old-fashioned villa, it's still a villa.

"Sir, this is my home," he said, inviting Xu Jianren inside.

Xu Jianren looked her over as he followed her inside.

"No need to change your shoes, come in and sit down." The woman went to change the clothes that the Pomeranian had dirtied, and the man greeted her.

"it is good!"

Xu Jianren sat down on the sofa awkwardly.

It's good that he doesn't change his shoes; his foot odor could suffocate every living thing in the house.

The room's decor has a vintage feel, but it's also quite valuable; the orchid on the flower stand alone is worth tens of thousands.

Xu Jianren enjoys tinkering with flowers; he has a good eye for them.

"Please have some tea, sir!" The man poured tea for Xu Jianren and handed it to him with both hands.

Xu Jianren took the tea and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls, then placed the empty cup on the coffee table.

The man quickly refilled the tea. Just then, the woman came downstairs after changing her clothes.

"Gentlemen, just get straight to the point. I'm a rough man and don't know how to beat around the bush. Just say what you have to say."

The couple exchanged a glance, and the man explained the situation in a few words.

The couple were originally from Shanghai. Both were university teachers. Their only son died in a car accident five years ago. He was unmarried and childless when he died. Now, the couple is the only ones left in the family.

In the past two years, the couple has finally emerged from the grief of losing their son and wanted to adopt a child, but most of the children sent to the welfare home were abandoned children with some problems.

So the two of them hadn't found a suitable child yet. Today, they overheard Xu Jianren saying that he wanted to give his child up for adoption, and that gave them a second thought.

"Sir, do you really have a child you want to give away?" The woman looked at Xu Jianren with expectant eyes.
