"Oh my god! Speak of the devil, and here he is."
Sitting in the front yard shelling peanuts, Luo Cuifen hurriedly said, "Ranran, you better go have a look.
Ding’s relatives from his hotown have co to scrounge again. This ti, it’s excessive; it’s not just one or two people, but the whole family. They’ve all co over.
It seems like they plan to stay here permanently. Your mom is trying to handle it, and we were just thinking how great it would be if you were here. And look, here you are."
Oh~
Wen Ran instantly understood.
These are the troubleso relatives from Bai Zhenzhu’s husband’s hotown she ntioned.
When they first arrived in the Capital City, they were wandering the streets. Bai Zhenzhu saw their large numbers and thought it would be a good idea to invite them ho.
The purpose was to have so help the next ti those bastards ca around again, to fend them off.
Earlier, Wen Ran was thinking if those troublemakers didn’t co to pester them, she would have little chance to prove her worth.
But...
Here they are.
Seems like it’s not worth overthinking things.
Look, by overthinking, I’ve summoned them.
She smiled, rolled up her sleeves, "Thanks, Aunt Luo. I’ll leave my things here for now. I’ll co back and get them after I’ve dealt with those bastards."
She tossed her luggage on the ground and dashed off.
Carrying luggage would only undermine her aura.
Hetao and Red Army followed behind: "???"
Wait, not taking them?
The wolf and the dog exchanged a look, decisively picked up the luggage, and followed along.
Luo Cuifen had been preoccupied with venting to Wen Ran, but now, seeing Hetao and Red Army, she exclaid in surprise, "Oh my, what an impressive dog!"
"I’m telling you, it’s quite intelligent, knows to carry things ho."
"Yeah, look at it, like it’s got a mind of its own."
Luo Cuifen kept shelling peanuts but was distracted by the commotion in the middle courtyard, getting more restless the more she shelled. She finally decided to pick everything up and move to a closer spot.
Hey, watching the drama doesn’t stop her from working. She’s one diligent woman.
These people must have just arrived.
The argunt had just started.
"Brother!" A woman, disheveled and with her clothes askew, spoke up.
"Tell , you’re blocking the door, not letting us in, what do you an by that?
Could it be you’ve been chard by this old witch, seeing only won, and not your siblings?"
Ding looked displeased. "Watch your mouth. Zhenzhu, after all, is your sister-in-law.
Besides, it’s not that we won’t let you in, it’s just that there are too many of you, and our courtyard is small. We can’t accommodate that many people.
Even if you ca in, you’d still have to move things back out."
After explaining, Ding paused and proposed a solution, "Here’s what I’ll do; I’ll open up a guesthouse outside for you to stay temporarily.
You can stay here a couple of days, and I’ll show you around. But after that, you’d better hurry back ho."
"Exactly," Bai Zhenzhu’s words were polite, but her tone was not, "A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.
No matter how good this place is, it’s not yours. What are you daydreaming about?"
The woman sneered, tilted her head, and tapped her foot, "Brother, you’re such an interesting person, thinking you’re the only smart one in the world while everyone else is a fool.
Don’t think for a mont that because your words are impeccable, I don’t understand your aning.
At the end of the day, you just don’t welco us.
We traveled thousands of miles to co to you, and you only think of throwing us back to our old ho. What, only you can be a city person and live well?
We have to be country bumpkins forever?"
"No one is forcing you to toil in the countryside forever. If you want to be a city dweller, you need so capital.
Do you have a job in the city or property? Without anything, what makes you a city person? Just go back ho and tend to your land."
Normally, Bai Zhenzhu wouldn’t dare to say such things.
But now, she had support.
She had already sent soone to inform Guangzi, and once he cos, everything will be better.
"Tsk~"
The woman smoothed her hair, "Sister-in-law, let’s just be upfront. I understand your aning; you just want us to go back, right?
Let tell you, dream on! We’ve already dealt with the ancestral ho, there’s no going back. Even if we have to lay mats on the floors here, we’re not leaving."
They are resolved for a battle to the bitter end this ti.
No matter what, they must stay.
Bai Zhenzhu was trembling with anger, "I don’t care about your ancestral ho, you can’t stay here."
"Sister-in-law, really, I’m still willing to be polite to you, so don’t push it.
You and my brother don’t have any children, not to ntion a son, not even a daughter. Who are you planning to leave this big courtyard to in the future?"
With that, the woman glanced disdainfully at Mrs. Xiao, "It can’t be a stray cat or dog, can it?"
Mrs. Xiao: "...What the hell are you babbling about?"
Ignoring Mrs. Xiao’s question, the woman kept babbling, "A nephew is half a son.
If you leave us here and give us your savings to use for a while, then in the future, my son can perform the rituals when you’re gone.
With that in mind, isn’t it fair to leave this house to my son?"
Bai Zhenzhu took a deep breath, reminding herself to stay calm.
Those who have nothing left have nothing to lose.
This group has no retreat, driven to desperation to survive.
They don’t care about sha or life.
But she still has a good life.
Wait, once Guangzi cos, everything will get better.
In the end, Guangzi didn’t co, but Wen Ran did.
Upon hearing such audacious words, Wen Ran laughed and stepped forward with a big slap, "Old thing, I’ve been listening to your crap for a while.
How do you manage to be so shaless? Coercing and luring to take soone else’s property, and being so self-righteous about it."
With a big slap, the woman was dumbfounded.
Mrs. Xiao brightened up, "Ranran, you’re back!"
Seeing Wen Ran, Bai Zhenzhu was so moved tears fell.
The always gentle and elegant elderly lady couldn’t maintain her poise and grace. She trembled, lips quivering, eyes tearful, "Good child, you’re finally back."
"Don’t worry," Wen Ran patted Bai Zhenzhu’s hand, "Grandma, rest assured, no one can touch your place.
Whoever tries, I will deal with them."
"Ahh! Where did you co from?"
The woman looked at Wen Ran, full of jealousy, "What does my business with this damned old woman have to do with you?"
Wen Ran laughed, "Ha, isn’t it a coincidence, this house will be mine in the future. If you’re here to take my house, you tell , does it have anything to do with ?"
