Chapter 37

Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, then reacted, “Sister-in-law, are you looking for a house?”

Shu Wan nodded.

“I do have something suitable for you. Let me send Xiaoling home first, then I’ll take you to see it.”

Xu Yang sent Xu Xiaoling home and took Shu Wan to look at houses.

“This house belongs to my father’s friend. The family went abroad some time ago and left this house to my eldest daughter. My eldest daughter thought that the house would be empty anyway, so she might as well rent it out.”

This is a bungalow with a small courtyard in the alley. It’s not big, but it’s more than enough for one person to live in. The location is remote, but it is quiet. The rooms are not next to each other, but there is some distance between them. Shu Wan thinks it meets her requirements.

She can’t afford to buy a house for the time being. Although the housing prices are very cheap now, she doesn’t have enough money.

“How much is it?” Shu Wan was afraid that she didn’t have enough money, only less than fifty yuan.

“10 dollars a month. The price of this house is lower than the market price. The owner’s request is that nothing inside be moved and the house be kept in good condition. There is nothing else.”

Now housing is mainly allocated to employees, and it is really difficult for self-employed people like her to find a house. The prices are also often more expensive.

Shu Wan thought the price was acceptable, and Xu Yang was not vague. He directly called the landlord and signed the contract on the spot.

Shu Wan folded the contract and put it in her bag. “Thank you. Without you, finding a house wouldn’t have been so smooth. I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Xu Yang shook his head. Shu Wan was so lavish in ordering food that no amount of money would be enough for her to spend. He decided to save some money.

But now that the house is rented, are Shu Wan and Lao Huo really going to divorce?

He used to think Shu Wan was not worthy of Lao Huo and that it would be better to divorce her sooner rather than later. But now…

Not only did Shu Wan’s temper improve, but she also became more polite and well-mannered! Just now, he outsmarted the human traffickers and saved his sister.

Since Shu Wan has reformed, just live your life as usual and don’t get divorced. And considering Shu Wan’s lavish spending habits, she would probably suffer if she left Old Huo.

Xu Yang felt that this marriage could be saved.

Shu Wan had no idea what Xu Yang was thinking. After they packed up their things, Xu Yang sent Shu Wan home.

At the same time, Bai Qianrou knocked on Shu Wan’s door, and it was Huo Miaoyue who opened the door.

Bai Qianrou was wearing a floral dress and small leather shoes. She had a gentle smile on her face, looking like a lady from a noble family.

Huo Miaoyue’s face was filled with joy and she quickly called Bai Qianrou in.

When Huo Miaoyue saw the Seagull watch on Bai Qianrou’s hand, she drooled with envy. If Bai Qianrou was her sister-in-law, she would also have these things.

Thinking of Shu Wan, Huo Miaoyue felt disgusted in her heart. She had no money to buy culture, so how could she be worthy of her cousin.

Grandma Huo was resting in the room. When she saw Bai Qianrou coming, she smiled and said, “Just come over. Why do you need to get something?”

Huo Miaoyue didn’t pay attention before, but when she saw Bai Qianrou holding a can of syrup and biscuits in her hands, her eyes widened.

She was afraid that her grandmother would take it back, so she said, “Grandma, I’ll go to the kitchen to see if the meal is ready.” Then she quickly went into the kitchen with the things.

Bai Qianrou looked down on Huo Miaoyue when she saw that she looked like she had never seen the world. These were all sent by Xu Yang, but she didn’t eat them herself. A country bumpkin is just a country bumpkin.

“This child.” Grandma Huo said something about Huo Miaoyue, and then asked Bai Qianrou to sit down.

Bai Qianrou sat down, “I hope I won’t disturb you.”

Grandma Huo waved her hand. “No, I’m sorry for bothering you at the hospital last time. What’s the matter with you?”

“Nothing. I’m staying next door now and wanted to visit grandma and Brother Huo.”

Grandma Huo smiled, feeling a little surprised. She heard that she had a good relationship with Shu Wan, so why would she come to see her grandson instead of Shu Wan?

As she spoke, Bai Qianrou glanced around the room, her eyes flickering, “Sister Shu Wan isn’t here? That’s right, Shu Wan must be in a bad mood recently, after all…”

Bai Qianrou quickly covered her mouth with annoyance on her face.

Thinking of the face that looked similar to the one in her memory, Grandma Huo couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

Bai Qianrou had a conflicted look on her face. She let out a long breath and finally made a decision.

“I shouldn’t have said this, but grandma, you promised me that I’d tell you if you could persuade Sister Shu Wan to be more open-minded.”

Grandma Huo was stunned. “What’s so serious? If you can’t say it, don’t say it.”

Bai Qianrou came here for the next words, and without hesitation, she said, “Sister Shu Wan came to the hospital for a checkup some time ago, and she found that she had some health problems.” At this point, Bai Qianrou paused for a moment, and then continued, “Maybe there will be no children in the future…”

Grandma Huo’s expression suddenly changed, and then she looked at Bai Qianrou with a bit of coldness.

She has lived for most of her life, and as a person with one foot in the coffin, how could she not see through Bai Qianrou’s tricks?

This girl has bad intentions, but why? Just as doubts arose, Bai Qianrou heard: “Sister Shu Wan has a bad temper, Brother Huo…”

It’s clear now, this is aimed at my grandson.

But Zhengye is already married! This little girl could fall in love with anyone else, but she chose her own cold and wooden self.

After she figured it out, Grandma Huo’s good impression of Bai Qianrou disappeared all of a sudden. They just maintained the appearance and chatted briefly, and then Bai Qianrou left.

Bai Qianrou left triumphantly.

The last time she told Brother Huo and Shu Wan, she was very disappointed that there was no noise; this time she didn’t believe that there wouldn’t be a big fuss.

I hope it will be better if we can get a divorce.

Bai Qianrou blushed when she thought of Huo Zhengye’s tall and masculine appearance.

After they left, Grandma Huo caught Huo Miaoyue stealing food in the kitchen and warned her, “Don’t let anyone in from now on. If I’m not at home and only your cousin is there, you won’t be able to explain yourself.”

Huo Miaoyue licked the crumbs from her mouth and said indifferently, “Grandma, you think too much. Besides, my cousin is already married. It’s impossible for him to be with Sister Qianrou.”

Grandma Huo looked at Huo Miaoyue’s greasy mouth while eating and felt very disappointed with her granddaughter. How could such a brainless person be her granddaughter?

“Forget it, just remember what I said!” Grandma Huo sighed.

“Okay, got it.” Huo Miaoyue said perfunctorily.

Grandma Huo glanced at the sky and asked, “Is the meal ready?”

“Why do you want me to do it?” Huo Miaoyue was unhappy.

“Your sister-in-law is not at home, so what’s wrong with cooking a meal? If you don’t want to, then I’ll do it.” Grandma Huo pushed Huo Miaoyue away and was about to start.

“Isn’t it okay for me to do it?” Huo Miaoyue complained, “It should have been Shu Wan’s job, but she went out to have a good time for the day and asked the two of us, old and young, to serve her.”

Grandma Huo felt that her granddaughter was really spoiled by her daughter-in-law. She had a bad temper and frowned, “She is your sister-in-law and we are a family. Why are we so petty?”

“She doesn’t deserve it.” Huo Miaoyue muttered, “My cousin is a respected soldier, but she is lazy and eats all day at home. My cousin pays for her food and clothing. What’s wrong with me saying a few words?”

“And I’m not just saying that, if she runs out and doesn’t cook again, I’ll have my cousin chase her away! See if she dares to disobey me again.”

After seeing Bai Qianrou’s bright and beautiful dress and the added bonus of her city dweller status, Huo Miaoyue became increasingly dissatisfied with Shu Wan and spoke without restraint.

“Kick me out?”

Huo Miaoyue looked over when she heard the voice and saw Shu Wan had returned at some point and was standing at the door, looking at her coldly.
