Chapter 61

"It's OK if you don't know," Hu Wanning looked at her, "but you have to hurry and get the house back now."

She has seen a lot of such things.

After occupying the house for a long time, those people regarded it as their own. The government is also troubled by such things, and they don't want to deal with it if they can. Those people rely on their numbers and may beat up the owner of the house.

Many people didn't get the house back.

Ruan Mingfu certainly knew.

"I'll discuss it with them in a few days."

"In a few days?"

"Are your parents coming?"

Hu Wanning was surprised, but then she thought it was normal. After all, she is her precious daughter who she has raised since she was a child. How can she not worry about her after not seeing her for a long time?

"Now that they are rehabilitated, they will definitely come to see me."

Speaking of this, Ruan Mingfu was very happy. Although Ms. Luan was a little scary, she was also a kind mother in other ways.

She was still looking forward to their coming.

"That's great."

Hu Wanning was a little envious.

"By the way, bring Xu Zhu over for dinner," Ruan Mingfu thought for a moment, "I'll let my mother show you her skills. I learned how to make the soup from her."

"Great..."

Ruan Mingfu turned into a mother's boast, "Of course, my mother is good at stewing soup. I have to ask Lao Xie to buy a few more pottery jars, in case they are not enough."

Since she came to this era, she has never eaten Ms. Luan's dishes.

To be honest, it's a bit greedy...

"Speaking of pottery jars, something happened yesterday."

Ruan Mingfu pricked up her ears.

"You know Aunt Liu, right?"

She nodded. The famous military district mess, who doesn't know her name.

Ruan Mingfu didn't have much in common with her.

"Yesterday, Tiezhu's father came back and smashed Aunt Liu's pot."

Ruan Mingfu was shocked.

Oh my God!

Tiezhu's father was too brave, he even dared to mess with a shit stick.

"Sister-in-law, what happened next?"

"Auntie Liu wanted to make trouble, and Tiezhu's father grabbed her and took her to the headquarters to ask for an explanation," Hu Wanning shook her head with a look of disgust, "Her son came out to apologize and compensated, and then Tiezhu's father relented."

They all belonged to the same military region and were comrades-in-arms, so Tiezhu's father didn't want to make a fuss.

But Auntie Liu was too much.

"What did Auntie Liu do again?"

In the family compound, when someone caused trouble, women would find women to solve it, and men would find men.

I've never heard of a man directly looking for trouble with a woman.

"She has no conscience," Hu Wanning frowned, "She bullied Tiezhu, a child, and made him work under the scorching sun. Tiezhu worked from morning till night, and didn't even give him a steamed bun."

Ruan Mingfu remembered it now.

It should be the day she met Tiezhu.

"Tiezhu didn't help her with the work later, and I met him the day before yesterday and slapped him."

Tiezhu's father just came back yesterday.

When he saw the slap mark on his son's face, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he rushed over and hit him.

Ruan Mingfu sighed, "This is too light."

"Ah?"

"No, I am Aunt Liu," Ruan Mingfu explained, "Why smash the pot? Her house should be demolished as well. Aunt Liu even bullies such a young child. She is such a jerk."

What a human being! She is even more vicious than the landlord.

"Such a person should be reported to the army!"

Hu Wanning shook her head.

"Her son is a filial son like Captain Gu," she continued, "but he is sensible. He knows what I did and came to her house with a sincere attitude to give compensation and apologize. Otherwise, Aunt Cai would not have lived next door to her for so long."

That's too much.

For the sake of her son, everyone tolerated it.

Ruan Mingfu was also a little speechless.

There are confused mothers everywhere, especially in the family courtyard. Aunt Liu and the old lady next door are not easy to deal with.

"By the way," Hu Wanning pointed in the direction of the Gu family, "Is there any movement over there?"

Ruan Mingfu shook her head, "Very quiet."

If she hadn't seen the clothes drying in the yard every day, she really thought that there was no one there.

I have to say that Father Gu is really good at it.

He solved the problem almost without saying a word.

She suddenly remembered, "What about Li Xiaoyue, how is she in the hospital?"

They didn't have much friendship.

Ruan Mingfu has been busy recently, and if she hadn't just mentioned it, she wouldn't have thought of her.

"I don't know," Hu Wanning said the same thing, they weren't familiar with each other, "I heard that she asked a lady from the same ward to take care of her, and she's been able to get out of bed recently."

"That's good."

The two were about to talk when a voice suddenly came from outside the gate.

"Is Sister Ruan here?"

Ruan Mingfu looked over, but saw a tall and thin man standing at the gate. Even though the door was open, he didn't come forward.

"This is Tiezhu's father."

Hu Wanning lowered her voice and introduced him to Ruan Mingfu in a fear that Ruan Mingfu didn't know him.

Her heart tightened.

Could it be that Tiezhu's father came to smash her house because she asked Tiezhu to do the work?

But she couldn't stop him from coming in.

"The door is not closed, come in."

After walking in, Ruan Mingfu saw Tiezhu next to her.

"Hurry up and sit down, are you here to see Lao Xie?"

"No, no need."

Tiezhu's father looked a bit old, and the clothes he was wearing were all patched up, and he looked like he had a hard life.

"I came to thank you," he touched Tiezhu's little head, "I'm not here these days, thank you for taking care of him. Here's the money for buying clothes, take it."

In his open thick palm, there were a lot of wrinkled Mao bills.

The smallest one cent, the largest fifty cents.

I don't know how long Tiezhu's father has been saving this pile of money.

"No, it's not worth anything," Ruan Mingfu breathed a sigh of relief, but refused, "It's just a few pieces of cloth that I sewed with thread. It just took some time. How can I ask for money?"

But Tiezhu's father was very persistent.

"Tiezhu told me that you have been taking good care of him these days."

"You're welcome. Tiezhu even helped me with the work."

Ruan Mingfu didn't like to do farm work. Although Tiezhu was small, he did the work quickly and well, which saved her a lot of worry.

She also felt that she had given too little.

"Let's put it in perspective."

Tiezhu's father looked at Tiezhu.

Tiezhu said quickly: "Thank you, auntie."

The dirt on his face was washed off, and he changed into a clean set of clothes. It was his father who changed Tiezhu's appearance as soon as he came back. Except for being a little thinner, he was almost the same as a normal child.

"No need to thank me, auntie still wants to thank you."

"Sister-in-law Ruan, you must accept this money."

Ruan Mingfu shook her head, "No, it's just a torn piece of clothing, how can I take your money, take it away quickly."

"Yes," Hu Wanning also advised, "Tiezhu's father, take the money back."

Tiezhu's father fell on the money in his hand, and his dark eyes didn't know what he was thinking.

Then, he withdrew his hand.

Just when Ruan Mingfu breathed a sigh of relief, Tiezhu's father put the money directly on the stool, picked up Tiezhu and turned around and ran away.

Ruan Mingfu: "..."

In the blink of an eye, Tiezhu's father ran out of the door.

"Forget it, just take the money," Hu Wanning sighed, "Tiezhu's father has a hard time. Tiezhu's mother is sick and spent a lot of money. A lot of it was borrowed, and he has been paying off the debt for the past few years."

Ruan Mingfu understood.

She also said that Tiezhu's father at least has an allowance, and his life should not be like this.

In that case, Tiezhu's father is still a responsible man.

Ruan Mingfu took the money.

Looking at the wrinkled money, she felt a little uncomfortable. Ruan Mingfu sighed. She felt that she had to speak well of the troops in front of Qi Yangyan.

Hu Wanning whispered, "The one who married later was dissatisfied and took it out on Tiezhu..."

She didn't know how to comment on this matter.

Ruan Mingfu was shocked.

No wonder the people in the family compound helped Tiezhu whenever they could, but didn't bother his stepmother.

It turned out that there was such a mess inside.

"There are many people in the family compound, and there are many strange things," Hu Wanning smiled at her, "You will know when you live there for a while. He is not particularly bad, but at least he won't commit crimes."

Ruan Mingfu nodded.

She understood this, just like what she saw in the village when she was an educated youth.

Either they were gossiping about the neighbors, or they were arguing with this family today and cursing with that family tomorrow. They were fighting each other until they were bleeding, but they were good brothers tomorrow.

"By the way--"

Hu Wanning was about to speak when she was interrupted by Gu Yilin who came back on the phone.

"Look who I brought to you," she ran over excitedly and grabbed Ruan Mingfu's hand, "your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, why don't you thank me quickly."

Hu Wanning's smile fell when she saw the people coming.

Ruan Mingfu also frowned.

But she saw Xie Yin, whom she had met at the Shanghai International Trade Fair, walking over with an older woman. When she saw the vegetable field in the yard, she looked a little disgusted.

Xie Yin was very rude when she saw her.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't my brother give you money? You made the yard so shabby, and you still planted vegetables. The Xie family needs the money you saved to buy vegetables..."

"Shut up!"

Xie Yin rolled her eyes.

The smugness on Gu Yilin's face also fell.

She turned her head to look at Ruan Mingfu and Hu Wanning, and when she saw the expressions on their faces, her heart skipped a beat.

Damn!

Could she have brought back two evil guests?

The young nanny looked at Ruan Mingfu calmly, and she felt relieved. She was well-dressed, and she had been well-maintained for more than ten years, and she also had a noble aura.

She was a noble lady at first glance, and she was no longer as timid as she was when she first entered the Xie family twenty years ago.

Her pretty face was full of smiles, "You are Yan Zhao's daughter-in-law."

Before Ruan Mingfu could say anything, Hu Wanning greeted her lightly.

"Aunt Xie."

"It's Wanning," the young nanny's eyes flickered, "I didn't expect you to be here too."

Hu Wanning sat down without even a glance at the young nanny.

Xu Zhu's parents had a long history with the Xie family, and they had invited Commander Xie to their wedding. The elders of the two families occasionally interacted with each other, so they were naturally aware of the Xie family's dirty deeds. Hu Wanning also knew how the little nanny got to the top.

For such a person, if it weren't for the relationship between the two families, she wouldn't even want to say hello.

It's disgusting to even look at him!

The little nanny gritted her teeth secretly.

A young man dared to look at her, really thinking that she had been in the Xie family for more than ten years in vain?

But before she could think of the next step, Xie Yin, who couldn't stand the anger at all, stood up.

"What do you mean?"

As soon as the voice fell, Ruan Mingfu also sat down. She tilted her head slightly to look at Xie Yin, as if to say, what can you do to me.

Gu Yilin looked left and right, and simply sat down.

In the whole yard, the only ones standing were the nanny and her daughter.

"You, you..." Xie Yin was very angry, "My mother is the elder, and the elders haven't sat down yet, do you have any manners?!"
