"Mom" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Grandma"

"Grandma, Grandma, please don’t be upset."

"Mom, let’s not be angry, let’s talk it over calmly."

The people in the room were frightened and hurriedly rushed forward to support the old lady and help her catch her breath.

"Mom, I was just saying, please don’t get so upset. If anything happens to you, it would be the death of me and Haitao." I have to admit, Zhang Huilan was very tactful, always looking at people’s expressions, and she didn’t dare offend her mother-in-law. "Quickly, let Mom lie down, I’ll go cut some ginger slices to refresh her." She ran out, avoiding responsibility.

Han Ying was half lying on the bed, pointing at Zhang Huilan’s figure, too angry to catch her breath. "Look, look at my good daughter-in-law."

"Grandma, you mustn’t get angry. What Aunt said makes sense too. Nobody is well-off right now, renting a place takes up more than half a month’s salary. Besides, finding a house isn’t easy—it’s all temporary." Lin Wan quickly comforted.

"Mom, it’s all my fault; it’s your unfilial daughter causing you so much trouble. I’ll take leave tomorrow to go find a house with Xiao Dung and the others. At that time, let Han Yi and Xiao Wan stay with us." Shen Qing thought of the sins accumulated over the years and couldn’t help but shed tears. "Mom, please don’t cry. If Aunt sees you, she’ll have something to say again." Hu Lijuan hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe Shen Qing’s tears.

Hu Dong stood aside, chewing his lips in silence, looking down.

"Mom, Grandma, please don’t be angry. Actually, a while ago when my family was buying a house, there happened to be an appropriate one. When Han Yi called me, we discussed it and decided to buy it. It’s on Xuefu Road. There are many old yards in that area. We were planning to tell you once it was renovated."

"You child, why didn’t you discuss it with me?" Han Ying felt relieved.

"I asked Grandma. Grandma said that since housing is tight now, buying a suitable one would be good, so we took the liberty to buy it. Mainly because it’s close to my family."

"That’s right, with housing being so tight, buying a house is a good thing." Shen Qing felt a bit sad when she heard Han Yi had already bought a house. Her intention was to buy a house for the children.

"Mom, here, have some ginger slices to calm your nerves. Alas, it’s all my fault, always worrying about Bo Xu and his wife. I didn’t expect it would upset you this much. If Haitao finds out when we get back, he’ll surely kill me."

"Hmph, don’t play innocent. Haven’t you caused trouble for me behind my son’s back before? This is not the first time. Since the other side is unsafe, let Ai Xiang bring the kids over here. Better safe than sorry. As for Xiaoqing’s family’s issue, pay more attention to it, and help find a suitable house. Since Bo Xu and his wife are staying here, it won’t be appropriate for Xiao Yi and Xiao Wan. Luckily, Xiao Yi has bought a house."

"Xiao Wan, you have a house now? Where is it? How many floors? Is it an apartment?" Zhang Huilan didn’t expect Han Yi and his wife to quietly buy a house.

And she didn’t know how much her mother-in-law spent on it.

"Aunt, it’s over on Xuefu Road. It’s not an apartment; it’s a small courtyard."

"A single-story? Why not buy an apartment? Apartments are so much nicer to live in." Although Zhang Huilan was a bit uncomfortable, now that Han Yi had gotten a house, with Bo Xu and his wife moving over, it would be just fine.

This house was originally divided to them back then.

"Mom, Aunt’s matters are our matters; we won’t complain. Rest assured, Xiaoqing, just now, I was in such a rush that I misspoke. As for the house matter, I and your brother are keeping an eye out for you. Actually, your brother has been helping Bo Xu and his wife find a house these days." He hadn’t told Shen Haitao about Ai Xiang staying here, it seemed he needed to have a good talk with him to prevent any anger.
