Chapter 90: The Extreme Old Lady Qiu (4)

  Qiu Ye and Qiu Feng came to Zhao Shuyan's home with their personal belongings, and the couple found it strange that they were acting this way.

  "Aunt and uncle, save us! Our home has been taken over by a group of big demons, they've chased my siblings and me out, we're now homeless kids, you must take us in!" Qiu Ye's voice was trembling with tears, his performance was extremely convincing.

  Zhao Shuyan smiled and gave the strange child a glance, saying: "Speak properly, quickly tell Auntie what's going on. Why are you still moving things over here?"

  Qiu Feng made a "shh" sound to everyone and said: "Let's all be quiet, listen..."

  Everyone quieted down, and vaguely, you could hear Old Lady Qiu's crying voice here, the specific words couldn't be made out, but her tone was clear.

  "What's going on, your family is still jumping gods? This won't do, be careful someone reports you, this is feudal superstition, we don't allow it." Fang Haibo asked curiously, he just listened to a bit and it sounded like they were jumping gods. This isn't popular now, if the unit finds out it's a big deal.

  Qiu Ye burst out laughing and said, "Dry dad, your imagination is too rich. The one crying and singing upstairs is my grandma, forcing her way into our house."

  "What is forcing a palace?" Zhao Shuyan had never heard of this term and didn't quite understand.

  Qiu Ye was taken aback, and she inadvertently uttered a popular phrase from the future. How could she explain this?

  Qiu Feng came to his sister's rescue once again.

  "It's just grandma making trouble with dad, wanting my mom and dad to listen to her, so she can have her way in our house later." Qiu Feng understood it very well, and the recent TV shows were not watched in vain. He had a thorough understanding of the term "forcing the palace" on his sister.

  Qiu Ye nodded on the side after listening, it's exactly what I mean, it's exactly what I mean.

  Fang Haibo and his wife still didn't understand after listening, so they asked what was going on. Qiu Ye then told them in detail about what had happened since he got home.

  Especially highlighted are Old Lady Qiu's irrationality and Qiao Jiaqing's past misdeeds, which also expresses the brother and sister's determination to defend their home.

  "What's going on here?" Fang Haibo looked at the two of them, big and small packages everywhere. Weren't they supposed to prevent others from occupying their territory? Why were they voluntarily giving it up now?

  "Dad means that even if they let San Shu's family move out, it would still take some time to arrange. They can't just ignore their relationship and sweep them out the door, they have to at least find them a place to rent so they have somewhere to settle down. But they're still worried about us two living with that cousin. He has a record, his mind is not right, Dad means we should have less contact with him."

  "You're right. Your dad is right, you two coming over is the right thing to do. You never know what people are thinking in their hearts, so it's better to be careful. In a bit, your aunt will set up the sofa for you two, and you can settle in peacefully. Tomorrow, I'll have your uncle go take a look, and then we'll buy you two a bed. I'll convert the big room into a bedroom for you two, and from now on, this room will be just for the two of you." Zhao Shuyan had long wanted to have the kids come live with them for a while. Every day was just the two of them at home in the evenings, and it felt a bit empty. But these two kids had their own family, their own parents. Usually, they were here during the day, but if they didn't let them go back at night, that would be unreasonable. Now, the kids had come on their own initiative.

  Zhao Shuyan's home is also a three-generation household, with only the two of them living there, so it's very spacious. They set up a small room as a bedroom for the two of them to live in, which is below Qiu Feng's room. A small room was set up as a study, which is below Qiu Ye's room. The largest room, they set up as a living room, with a TV and sofa inside, the sofa is an old-fashioned folding sofa that can be disassembled into a bed, very practical.

  Zhao Shuyan said that they should lay the sofa flat for Qiu Ye and Qiu Feng to sleep on temporarily.

  Qiu Ye didn't stand on ceremony with her aunt and directly agreed.

  "Let's go, Auntie. But we don't need that big house, you and Uncle can sleep there, my brother and I will just take the small one. And Uncle, can you find a carpenter for us to make our own beds? Can I design my own bed?" Qiu Ye wanted to make a high-low bed like those in later generations, where you sleep on top and study at the desk below. She was thinking of making three sets, two for herself and her brother, and one to leave for her future younger brother when he grows up.

  "Alright, how can it not be alright? Tomorrow I'll let your uncle go find a carpenter, Xiaoye you just take care of drawing the picture."

  Just as they were talking, there was another knock at the door. As soon as it opened, Old Lady Qiu also came down.

  "Mom, you've come down too. Now it's just Dad up there?" Qiu Ye looked at his mom who had also come down and felt sorry for his dad, who was working very hard all by himself.

  "Hmm, your grandmother least wants to see me, I'll leave, she can calm down a bit, and maybe pity your dad, then the trouble will stop." She herself didn't quite believe what she said, if that old lady could pity her own family's Lao Qiu, this matter wouldn't have happened today.

  Then Qiu's mother vented her grievances to Fang Haibo and Zhao Shuyan, feeling a bit suffocated in her heart, it was better to let it all out.

  Fang Haibo's execution was swift. He received the task assigned by his wife last night and brought the carpenter back home by this evening.

  Qiu Ye took out the design drawings she had drawn well and discussed with the carpenter for more than an hour, before the carpenter excitedly took the designs away.

  Fang Haibo has been watching from the side, and is also very interested in Qiu Ye's design drawing. He says to Xiao Ye: "Is this designed by you? Do you have any other designs?"

  "Got it." Qiu Ye drew out the popular children's furniture, of course, not entirely a copy, in between she added her own ideas.

  "Go, bring them to my dad for a look." Fang Haibo wanted to see more of Xiao Ye's designs, maybe he could still help Xiao Ye earn some money. He had a friend in Germany who owned a furniture store, and Xiao Ye's designs were very novel, his old friend would definitely like them.

  Qiu Ye didn't know what his godfather was thinking, he just handed over a small stack of design drawings to his godfather and then went into the house to inquire about the situation with his mother.

  Tonight, after dinner, Qiu's mother came down to Fang's house to see the kids and take a walk.

  "She said, these days are really unbearable. At the dinner table in the evening, the old lady still picked on me, saying that I, her daughter-in-law, didn't take care of her and didn't cook for her at breakfast and lunch. She knew very well that I had to go to work every day, but she still said that. Can you say this old lady is biased or not? There are five big mouths in the house, can't they just cook their own meals? Isn't this just looking for trouble?" Qiu Ma and Zhao Shuyan chatted about their family matters, since the two families had a good relationship, they weren't afraid of being laughed at.

  "Mom, after we all left yesterday, how did Dad suppress Grandma?" Qiu Ye asked curiously. This thing is like this, it's either the east wind overpowering the west wind or the west wind overpowering the east wind.

  "Your dad can't do anything about it, just bear with it. He doesn't dare to do anything to your grandma either. But it's your grandma who did something for over an hour and was exhausted, so she didn't need anyone to persuade her, she went back to the table to eat again by herself. When I got home, she was eating, and when she saw me coming back, she even asked me to heat up the dishes for her." Qiu's mom mentioned that this old lady is really a headache, and their generation gap is obvious, it's really helpless with this old lady.

  "What's their performance like tonight?" Qiu Ye didn't go home for dinner today, so she was very curious about their performance.

  "What's the point, a dog can't change its nature of eating feces. When I got home, my family was still waiting for me to cook dinner, with cold pots and pans in the kitchen. My daughter-in-law and second sister-in-law didn't say anything, so I just cooked a normal meal like we usually do. But your third uncle complained while eating, saying it wasn't tasty because there was no meat or fish. Oh my goodness, he's not afraid of getting his tongue burned by the wind, he wants me to provide him with big fish and meat every day? I don't have that kind of spare money, I need to save for my son and daughter." Qiu Ma rolled her eyes in frustration.

  "What did Nanyulin say? Let them rely on their family like this at home! This is not a long-term plan." Zhao Shuyan asked.

  "Old Qiu just quietly told me that he went to the logistics department of the teacher's university and asked, and it turned out that there are empty houses, but they need to be approved by the leader. And it seems that Qiu Yansen wants to do household chores, which isn't that easy, we have to wait and see." Qiu's mother told everyone what Qiu's father had just told her.

  "Let's wait until tomorrow, then I'll ask Old Fang to go and find the leader too. This problem should be solved as soon as possible. If we spoil them now, it will be hard to get rid of them later." Zhao Shuyan expressed her thoughts.

  "Fengqin, since the old lady is already living with you, can't you save that 25 yuan monthly allowance for her? She eats and lives here every day, and even if you give her money, she won't be able to spend it. Otherwise, someone might take advantage of her and it wouldn't be good." Zhao Shuyan said gently, but the content made Qiuye and Qi's mother's eyes light up.

  "Right! This shouldn't have been given, and it's not twenty-five now. That stupid old Qiu, now giving the old lady thirty-five, can't he bring about such a disaster?" As soon as Old Lady Qiu mentioned this, she was so angry that she wanted to pinch Old Qiu a few times to vent her anger.

  "Mom, you can't always buy meat and stuff for the house. Grandma doesn't do any work or exercise every day, eating too much meat is bad for her body..."

  "Fengqin, your family's grain and oil standards need to be adjusted this month. With so many more people, there's no way you can afford to eat such fine grains. You should switch to sorghum or corn flour instead, that way you might make it to the end of the month..."

  "Mom, our family's..."

  That night, everyone racked their brains and tried their best to get rid of the unwelcome person from home as soon as possible.
