Chapter 393 Renting the House Next to the Bai Family
"Mom, how are things? Brother and Dad..." He Yuguang walked forward nervously and glanced around the room, but did not see He Yuzhu and He Daqing. He couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.
Bai Xiaolian sighed softly, with a complicated expression on her face. She looked at He Yugang, frowned slightly, and then spoke slowly:
"You are a debt collector, and you are really a worry for me. This time, because of you, our family lost a thousand dollars, which is not a small amount of money." As she said this, she put her hands on her hips, with a little displeasure on her face.
When He Yugang heard this, he felt a little guilty, but more relieved. He knew that since the money had been spent, it meant that his son's future was settled.
He quickly stepped forward, took Bai Xiaolian's hand, and said sincerely, "Mom, don't worry. I know my family has paid a lot for me this time. In the future, I will take the initiative to give half of my salary to my family until the money is made up."
Bai Xiaolian looked at He Yugang's expression, and the anger in her heart subsided a little. She nodded and gently patted the back of He Yugang's hand: "I feel relieved that you think so."
Although He Yuqiang didn't care about the money, he felt happy when he saw his mother scolding and teaching He Yugang. He knew that his mother did this to make him feel uncomfortable with He Yugang because of the money.
Liu completely put aside her worries. Although she had a good relationship with Li, she was still clear about money. She watched the interaction between He Yugang and Bai Xiaolian, and secretly felt lucky: this time there was finally a good result.
Bai Xiaolian frowned and looked around at her family members sitting around the table, with a look of embarrassment on her face. She sighed softly, put down the teacup in her hand, and said in a slightly heavy voice:
"Okay, come here. Widow Tian said today that she hopes we can take care of her until the day she gives birth. This matter is indeed a bit tricky. Let's think about where to rent a house for her without letting outsiders know."
As the daughter-in-law of the family, Liu looked at Bai Xiaolian's expression and understood the seriousness of the problem. She thought for a moment and tentatively suggested:
"Mom, why don't we just let Widow Tian live in our house, so that when she gives birth, we can take care of her in time."
As soon as she finished speaking, He Yuqiang shook his head, his expression firm and serious: "No, if this happens in our house, if she does something again, we won't be able to defend ourselves. We have to be careful with people like her."
Bai Xiaolian nodded, agreeing with He Yuqiang's concerns. She pondered for a moment, then turned her eyes to the window, as if looking for inspiration.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she turned around and said to everyone, "Why not rent the empty house next door? No one usually pays attention to that house. We can just say that relatives are coming to visit."
Usually, I or Liu would bring her some food and ask her to stay in the house as much as possible. After giving birth, she would leave directly to avoid attracting the attention of outsiders. "
He Yuqiang agreed with Bai Xiaolian's suggestion. He nodded and added, "This is a good idea. It will give Widow Tian a place to live without attracting attention from outsiders. Moreover, we can always take care of her and ensure her safety."
Li nodded gently, her brows relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on her face. Although she was not happy that He Yugang had any contact with Widow Tian again, considering the harmony of the family and Widow Tian's special situation, she chose to compromise.
She took a deep breath, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden from her heart, and her voice became much softer: "Mom, I agree with your suggestion. Although I feel a little uncomfortable, I think this may be the best solution."
Bai Xiaolian looked up at Li when she heard her words, with a hint of admiration in her eyes. She knew that Li was a reasonable person, and although she would sometimes have some small emotions, she would always consider the overall situation. Bai Xiaolian nodded slightly to show her understanding.
Seeing this, the others also expressed no objection. Seeing that no one objected, Bai Xiaolian lowered her head and thought for a moment. She tapped the table lightly, as if weighing the pros and cons.
After a while, Bai Xiaolian took a deep breath, as if to calm her thoughts. She raised her head, her eyes firm and bright, and scanned the family members present, finally fixing her eyes on Li and He Yugang. She nodded and spoke slowly:
"Okay, since everyone agrees, let's do this. Without further ado, I'll go to the Housing Authority and ask if the house next door is still vacant. The previous occupants have moved out, so there shouldn't be any new residents."
After saying that, Bai Xiaolian stood up and prepared to go out, her movements were decisive and quick. At this time, Li saw this and quickly stood up, followed Bai Xiaolian, with a concerned expression on her face:
"Mom, I'm still worried. Yugang and I will go with you. It will be easier to discuss with more people."
Bai Xiaolian looked back at the two of them, with a hint of warmth in her eyes. She knew that Li was worried about her, and she also understood that this matter was caused by He Yugang, so she should get involved.
So she nodded slightly to show her agreement. Then, she turned to Liu who was sitting at the table and said with a smile: "Old Third, remember to prepare the meal so that we can have a hot meal when we come back."
Liu raised her head and responded with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, I'll prepare it right away."
Bai Xiaolian looked at Li and He Yugang again, with a gentle smile on her face: "Let's go!" After that, she walked out the door first, followed by Li and He Yugang, and the three of them left the room together.
After Liu watched Bai Xiaolian, Li and He Yugang leave, she turned her head, frowned slightly, and looked at He Yuqiang standing beside her with a look of worry on her face.
She asked softly, "Yuqiang, you said that the person lives next door to us, so my second brother shouldn't do anything again, right? I always feel uneasy."
He Yuqiang couldn't help but smile when he heard Liu's worry. He gently patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "You were thinking about having someone live in your house before, weren't you? Now that you've booked someone next door, why are you worried?"
When Liu heard what He Yuqiang said, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. She whispered back, "Didn't I not consider this before? Now that I think about it carefully, I always feel a little uneasy."
He Yuqiang looked at Liu's worried expression and felt helpless, but he still patiently comforted her:
"Okay, don't worry. Our mom and sister-in-law are here, they will take care of it. Besides, it's good to live next door, we can always take care of them and find out any disturbance in time."
After hearing what He Yuqiang said, Liu's worries were slightly relieved. She nodded and a look of relief appeared on her face.
She knew that He Yuqiang was right, and with the support and care of her family, she should be able to handle this matter properly. So she decided to put aside her worries and start preparing dinner.
