Chapter 25 I Think You're Overthinking

Back at the front desk, Xia Xiaochi picked up the water glass and went to the tea room, took the glass of water, and drank a few gulps, hoping to flush the rice stuck in the esophagus quickly.

"Xiao Xia, drink slowly!"

Bi Luochun suddenly yelled, which startled Xia Xiaochi. It was nothing at first, but now he coughed instead.

"Cough cough cough... Assistant Bi!"

"When eating and drinking, you'd better slow down! Otherwise it's bad for your stomach!"

"Thank you for the reminder! I will pay attention!" Xia Xiaochi smiled awkwardly, wondering if Bi Luochun could teleport?Just now he was eating with Li Liancheng!
"I have a snack here, here you are! You didn't seem to eat anything just now!"

In front of him was a beautifully packaged paper box, which contained a piece of delicious cake, which Bi Luochun bought under orders.

"No, no, Assistant Bi! I'm full!" Xia Xiaochi quickly pushed back.

"Take it if you tell me! If you don't eat it, I will be miserable!"

Bi Luochun handed over snacks, but Xia Xiaochi insisted on refusing to accept them. The scene of the two pushing and shoving happened to be seen by He Yan who came in to fetch water, "What delicious food did Assistant Bi buy?"

He Yan's eyes were very strange, as if he didn't know Xia Xiaochi a little bit, he looked at the two people in front of him from top to bottom and from bottom to top in a daze.

"He Yan, you came just in time! Assistant Bi treats you, this is for you!" Xia Xiaochi was embarrassed, and gave the cake to Guan Tongtong wisely.

"Hey! Wheat field vanilla! I know the cakes in this store are very delicious! Thank you, Assistant Bi!" He Yan said in an unclear tone after seeing the packaging box.

"You're welcome!" Assistant Bi glanced at Xia Xiaochi and said, "Then you stay here, I'll go first!"

After he left, He Yan took Xia Xiaochi's arm and asked gossipingly, "Oh, Xia Xiaochi, what's your relationship with Assistant Bi?"

"We... it's okay!"

"Hi! Don't be embarrassed! I think he seems to care about you! Are you..." He Yan weighed the cake in her hand and said with a smile.

"Don't get me wrong! We are just colleagues!"

Although Xia Xiaochi repeatedly denied that she had nothing to do with Bi Luochun, He Yan thought she was covering it up on purpose. Behind her back, many people began to discuss their relationship.

After get off work in the evening, Xia Xiaochi went back to Wujia Lane and was cooking dinner when the landlady's wife came in with a team of bricklayers, saying that she was going to repair the house for Xia Xiaochi's family, and urged them to move out immediately.

"Aunt Pang! It's getting dark, where do you want us to move?"

Xia Xiaochi was really convinced by the landlady, and was anxious all day, like a big pepper.

"Oh, Xiaochi, didn't you ask me to repair your house? I'm here, but you have to cooperate!" Mrs. Pang spread her hands to express her helplessness.

"But, it's so late, so suddenly, we really have nowhere to go, can we come back tomorrow, let's pack up first?" Xia Xiaochi tried to suppress his dissatisfaction, and discussed calmly.

"Um... I understand what you mean, I know that you have no relatives and no reason in Ziyang. How about it! For the sake of old customers for many years, how about I arrange a place for you?" Mrs. Pang looked serious, no Like a joke.

Xia Xiaochi and her mother looked at the bricklayers standing at the door, all waiting to work, so they could only reluctantly agree with the landlady's idea.

"Alright then! Let's pack up now!"

Seeing that Xia Xiaochi let go, Mrs. Pang immediately put on a smile, waved to the workers behind her and shouted, "Everyone, don't be dazed, come and help pack up!"

After the noise, it was as if the house had been ransacked, and everything they needed was moved out of the house and piled into a pickup truck.

The residence provided by Mrs. Pang to Xia Xiaochi's mother and daughter is in the Bauhinia Garden Community in Xincheng District, a two-bedroom and one living room on the third floor of a family, with simple decoration, all kinds of household appliances, cable TV and telephone.

After entering the door, Xia Xiaochi's mother and daughter saw the bright house in front of them, and they couldn't believe that Mrs. Pang was so generous.

They were used to living in small black houses, and seeing such a big house with such good conditions now, they felt a little uncertain.

Speaking of staying here at night, they were really worried that they would not damage the things in the house. Xia Xiaochi and her mother met each other's eyes.

"Um... Sister Peng, Xiaochi, I still have something to tell you. It is your house. I plan to tear it down and build a bungalow again. So, the foreman said, it will take at least half a year."

Mrs. Pang ordered the porters to pile up all the things in the living room, and then said these words to Xia Xiaochi's mother and daughter.

"Half a year? Aunt Pang, you mean that you want to drive us away and don't plan to continue renting the house to us? So it's because of the repair of the house. I'm right!"

Xia Xiaochi stared at Mrs. Pang angrily. At this time, she only blamed herself for understanding too late.

"Where is it! How could I drive you away!" Mrs. Pang walked in, wandered around, and said, "What do you think of the condition of my house? It's not far from the city center and the transportation is convenient. Are you satisfied?"

"This house is good, but it must be very expensive!" Mother Peng Yuzhen said without confidence.

"Satisfaction is satisfaction! But we can't afford to rent!"

Xia Xiaochi really admired the shrewdness of the landlady's wife, and used such a trick to drive them away.

"As long as you are satisfied! For the sake of my regular customers for so many years, I will rent this house to you! The rent will still be at the original Wujiaxiang price! No extra charge!"

"What?" Xia Xiaochi's mother and daughter were shocked this time.

"Don't make a fuss! Just say whether to rent or not!"

Xia Xiaochi's eyes seemed to be on Mrs. Pang's body, and she wanted to see her clearly. Who didn't know that Mrs. Pang was a well-known miser, so kind enough to rent such a good house to them for such a low rent?
Even if the pie falls from the sky, it's impossible to hit them!

"Aunt Pang, are you sure you're not joking? How could you charge such a low price for such a nice house? I don't believe it!"

"I know you are a ghost girl! Nothing can scare you! Let me tell you the truth! I went to the temple a few days ago, and the Bodhisattva said that as long as I do a good deed, he will bless my family to find a It’s a good job, so, for the sake of my family’s future, renting out this house to you will be regarded as a good deed! Sigh... who told me that I’m notoriously a bodhisattva-hearted person!”

After Mrs. Pang finished speaking, she stared at the mother and daughter, waiting for their reaction.

Xia Xiaochi finally understood that the reason for Mrs. Pang's sudden outburst of kindness was because of her son.

According to Xia Xiaochi's understanding, the landlord's family has multiple houses, and the family conditions are good. There is only one son, named Pang Hai. After graduating from college last year, he has not found a suitable job until now. This matter is really anxious to Mrs. Pang.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Mrs. Pang seems to be wearing gold and silver, and her life is rich and secure, but she has given birth to a dull son.

She asked someone to find a way out, and arranged many jobs for her son, but she was dismissed after only a few days.

Now Mrs. Pang didn't know where to go to burn incense and pray to Buddha, and she came back with such a result, but this was not harmful to Xia Xiaochi's mother and daughter at all.

"You can keep your word? What if you regret it after two days?" Xia Xiaochi asked worriedly.

"If you are worried, sign a rental agreement now!"

Mrs. Pang had been prepared for a long time, opened the bag, took out the printed agreement, and spread it on the table.

Xia Xiaochi picked up the agreement and looked it over. After muttering a few words with his mother, he said to Mrs. Pang, "All right! You did it voluntarily!"

"Row!"

Mrs. Pang is the best at signing agreements. She took out a pen, filled in the blank horizontal bars with the specific information of the house, the lease time limit, rent and other information, and then signed her name on the "Party A".

In the end, Xia Xiaochi swiped the pen and signed at "Party B", Mrs. Pang took away one agreement and left the other one to Xia Xiaochi.

"From now on, you can live here with peace of mind! The house's water, electricity, gas and other messy expenses are all covered by me. Every month is still the same as before, and I only charge rent."

"Why?" Xia Xiaochi began to wonder, Mrs. Pang didn't even charge other miscellaneous fees?

"Hey, do you think I'm underpaying?" Mrs. Pang said with a smile: "For my son, you will live here! The things in the house are only useful! If you encounter any problems, give them to me." Call! There's a phone on the desk!"

"Oh!"

Mrs. Pang finished explaining and was about to go out when she stepped back and said, "I'll come over tomorrow and teach you how to use the electrical appliances here! That's enough! It's getting late, you guys pack up!"

After Mrs. Pang left, Xia Xiaochi and her mother stood at the door in a daze for a moment. It wasn't until her mother pinched her that Xia Xiaochi finally realized, "Oh! Mom, why are you pinching me?"

"Xiaochi, I just want to prove that I'm not dreaming!"

"I can assure you that you are not dreaming!" Xia Xiaochi rubbed his sore arm and said.

"Xiaochi, do you think the landlady took the wrong medicine? She is such a Grandet! Would she be so kind? Have you read the agreement carefully?"

What mother Peng Yuzhen was worried about was that she should never sign a contract of prostitution.

"Look, no problem! I also think Mrs. Pang is abnormal, but she said that for Pang Hai, I believe she can do such a thing!"

"Oh! There must be no deceit here! Do you think the landlady is trying to get your attention? Wanting to introduce you to her stupid son?"

"No way, Mom, I think you're thinking too much!"

Xia Xiaochi knew Mrs. Pang very well. She was eager to love her son and wanted to find a beautiful daughter-in-law. How could she fall in love with her?
That night, Xia Xiaochi and his mother officially moved into the Bauhinia Garden Community, and their living conditions have suddenly undergone a qualitative leap, and they no longer need to be crowded in a small, broken house.

The Bauhinia Garden Community has a complete set of facilities, such as a vegetable market, supermarket, and shopping street, all just outside the door. The security of the community is also very good. The most worth mentioning is that living here is convenient for transportation. There are bus stops and direct routes when you go out. It is much more convenient to go to the company and go to work.

The move may be the most ridiculous thing that Xia Xiaochi's mother and daughter have encountered in the past few years, but no matter what, their living environment has finally been fundamentally improved.
