Landlady who likes to hoard land

“It’s true, and they’re twins!” Xu Jianren handed his phone to the two of them again. “Look, they’re almost five months along.”

The woman took the phone and examined it closely with the man, her eyes growing brighter and brighter as she looked at it, liking it more and more.

Xu Jianren is considered quite good-looking, and Sun Jing isn't ugly either; otherwise, how could she have the means to be a mistress? Their child certainly won't be ugly either.

The two children in the photo are chubby and have big, innocent eyes; they are incredibly cute.

The woman's eyes were practically glued to her phone; it was so cute.

So young, with no memory, they're perfect for adoption.

Reluctantly, he returned the phone to Xu Jianren.

"Sir, I don't understand why you're giving your children up for adoption? They're both so adorable!"

Xu Jianren scratched his head and, without any hesitation, recounted how the two children were illegitimate.

"Therefore, I cannot raise these two children myself, and I am afraid I will not be able to raise them well. But these two children must be adopted at the same time; I will not separate them."

Previously, some people were willing to adopt the children, but they only wanted to adopt one. Xu Jianren did not want the two children to be separated, so he did not agree, which is why they have not been able to find a suitable family.

"Of course, of course, we still have the ability to raise two children."

The two were very happy. It was good to have an illegitimate child, because then they wouldn't have to worry about Xu Jianren taking the child back.

The woman stood up and picked up a box. "Sir, look, this is our old family photo, our property certificate, our work ID, our ID cards..."

The woman took out each item from the box to prove her identity. Xu Jianren looked at her work ID, searched for it online, and sure enough, he could find the woman's information.

Now I can rest assured. A teacher's family can surely raise their child well, right?

The three of them eventually agreed to go back with Xu Jianren to see the child, and if there were no problems, they would adopt him directly.

Three days later, Xu Jianren's truck was finally loaded with cargo and returned to his hometown.

The couple had already driven to L City, found a hotel to stay in, and were waiting for Xu Jianren to come back to see the children.

Xu Jianren also had this on his mind, and the first thing he did upon returning was to take them to see the children.

Upon seeing the two little dumplings, the woman's heart melted.

"What's the child's name?" The woman's gentle gaze was fixed on the child.

"Guoguo and Lele, the chubby one is the older brother, named Guoguo, and the taller one is the younger brother, named Lele," Xu Jianren said patiently, finding it rare for him to find the two children agreeable.

"Great, Guoguo, Lele," the couple said happily, playing with their children.

The couple did not lose their composure and, accompanied by Xu Jianren, went to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination for their child.

See proof that the child is healthy.

The couple happily completed the adoption procedures. The child hadn't been registered yet, so it was easier to do it locally.

The couple had built up connections in this field over the years, and they were eager to adopt a child. They quickly completed the adoption procedures and took the child back to Shanghai.

Looking at the empty room, Xu Jianren felt lost, but thinking of the fate of his two children in their previous life, he felt relieved.

This is the best arrangement for them. I hope they grow up peacefully and safely and become useful members of society.

After settling Ma Jie's wages for the month, Xu Jianren gave her an extra two thousand yuan, since she had been working hard taking care of two children on her own during this time.

Xu Jianren listed both houses with a real estate agency, preparing to sell them.

Although the real estate market is currently sluggish, there are still some customers with genuine housing needs who want to buy a house. His two houses are in decent locations and are in good school districts. After they were listed, people started to look at them one after another.

Two more stay-at-home moms have joined Wang Chengyu's studio as apprentices.

Because this line of work offers relatively flexible hours and the salary can be quite high if you master it, it's a popular choice for stay-at-home moms who already have children and whose schedules are less flexible.

Wang Chengyu originally wanted to recruit more students, since she would earn merit points for every customer her students made.

After careful consideration, I decided to strive for excellence, since this job is quite demanding on one's character.

Some customers experience breast milk retention in the middle of the night, and unethical lactation consultants dare to charge thousands of yuan for a single home visit to help.

If you encounter a conscientious lactation consultant, that's fine. But if you encounter an unscrupulous lactation consultant with poor skills, it can delay your baby's breastfeeding, which is a minor issue. In fact, many customers have even been hospitalized as a result.

After much consideration, it was decided to maintain the status quo; if there are enough staff for the studio, no more students will be recruited.

Wang Chenghua and Cui Ying are already able to take orders independently, and their studio can now receive more than ten customers every day.

She also launched meridian health programs, such as head therapy, shoulder and neck massage, ovarian care, buttock therapy, etc., which are purely manual meridian unblocking techniques.

The profits increased dramatically.

Wang Chengyu was delighted. Now, even if she did nothing all day, she could indirectly receive more than twenty merit points.

In the warm spring of March, the weather is still chilly despite the change in temperature.

The demolition of Heitu Village in Fengming Township has finally begun.

The villagers spread the word excitedly, with those owning multiple houses hoping to make a fortune from the demolition compensation.

Those with fewer houses do not want to be relocated; they think it's so comfortable to live in a detached house with its own yard, spacious and down-to-earth.

Not only is living in an apartment building cramped and stuffy, but there's also nowhere to put all the farming equipment.

Most of the elderly in the village do not like living in apartment buildings because they are not mobile and have difficulty going up and down stairs.

Although most newly built buildings now have elevators, nothing beats the convenience of stepping out the door these days. Three or five people gather at the base of the courtyard wall to sunbathe and chat, and a morning passes quickly.

They've lived in their self-built house their whole lives and are used to their current living conditions.

With a yard and sunshine, you can chat with your neighbors as soon as you step out, and even grow a small vegetable garden in front of your door. This kind of life is incredibly convenient.

For them, living in an apartment building would be no different from being in a birdcage.

Therefore, the villagers of Heitu Village had mixed feelings about the demolition.

Xu Chenxing, on the other hand, remained neutral regarding the demolition.

His children aren't around, and he has money, so it doesn't matter where he lives.

Including the wedding house where Xu Jianren got married, Xu Chenxing owns a total of three two-story houses in the village.

The current demolition and relocation policy is different from before, where one residential property could be compensated with multiple houses. Now, one homestead can only be compensated with one house, and any excess will be compensated in cash based on the square footage. Alternatively, one can choose not to accept any houses and have all compensation converted into cash.

Given the magnitude of the demolition, Xu Chenxing decided to discuss it with his children. To put it nicely, it was a discussion, but in reality, it was just a unilateral notification.

This was to highlight his status as the head of the family.

That day, Xu Chenxing gathered everyone at home to discuss whether they wanted the house or all cash. He preferred cash, as the real estate market was sluggish and it was safer to keep cash in hand.

Also, Xu Chenxing doesn't want to live in the resettlement housing; he wants to live in a property with full ownership rights. The property management and environment there are far superior to the resettlement housing.

Xu Jianren hasn't been back since the incident on New Year's Eve.

This time, Xu Chenxing took the initiative to call him and asked him to bring Wang Chengyu back to discuss the demolition.

Xu Jianren took Wang Chengyu home as soon as he received the call.
