Siheyuan: I just want to live

After talking with He Daqing, Chen Feng left the meeting place in the middle courtyard and walked towards the backyard with ease. When he finally returned to his home in the backyard, he found that the aunt was sitting in her house chatting with Jin Ling.

When Chen Feng walked into the house, Jin Ling stood up and walked towards him quickly. Her eyes were concerned and her face was filled with a gentle smile.

"Hubby, you're back!"

Before Chen Feng could speak, Jin Ling spoke impatiently, with a hint of joy in her voice.

Then, she approached Chen Feng and whispered, "It just so happens that an aunt wants to talk to you about something. You two can have a good chat."

"I have to go up and check on the children, in case they wake up and cry because they can't find anyone."

When Chen Feng heard Jin Ling's words, he looked past Jin Ling and looked at the middle-aged lady who had stood up after seeing Chen Feng come in.

Seeing this, Chen Feng smiled and nodded at her, then turned to Jin Ling and said gently, "Okay then! Wife, you go up first! It's really tiring to coax a crying child to sleep in the middle of the night."

He knew very well how hard it was to raise a child, and his tone was full of care and understanding.

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Jin Ling nodded gratefully, with a happy light in her eyes, and said, "Well! Then, husband, I'll go up first!"

Her heart was filled with warmth when she heard her husband's thoughtfulness and care.

After talking to Chen Feng, Jin Ling politely said to Auntie, "Excuse me, Auntie!"

Demonstrates good manners and manners.

Then, Jin Ling went upstairs lightly to take care of the child.

After Jin Ling went upstairs, Chen Feng walked towards the table enthusiastically and said to the aunt in a friendly manner: "Auntie, let's not stand here, let's sit down and chat!" He was smiling, making people feel extremely friendly.

As he spoke, Chen Feng quickly walked to the table, then sat down naturally, motioning the aunt to sit down as well.

After seeing Chen Feng sit down, the aunt sat down again with relief.

After they sat down, an old lady asked Chen Feng with a sigh, "Chen Feng, it must be very hard for you and Jin Ling to take care of two kids, right?"

When Chen Feng heard her words, although he didn't quite understand why she asked that, he still smiled and said, "It's okay! It's much better now, not as fussy as when it was just born."

Seeing Chen Feng say this, Auntie sighed and said, "Ah! Speaking of which, you and Jin Ling are really pitiful children. You are so young and have no elders to help you."

"If you had an elder here, you wouldn't be so tired taking care of the children now."

Chen Feng couldn't help but feel emotional when he heard what the aunt said. It was indeed not easy for him and Jin Ling, but fortunately they were working hard to overcome these difficulties.

"Auntie, let's not talk about the past. Everything will get better and better, and the children also bring us a lot of happiness." Chen Feng replied with a smile.

When Auntie heard Chen Feng say this, she nodded and said, "Yes, that's right! You are all good kids. I believe you will get better and better in the future!"

Hearing what the aunt said, Chen Feng responded with a smile on his face: "Then thank you in advance, I hope it will be as you said!"

The lady also smiled and replied: "Oh, I'm telling the truth!"

After saying this, both of them couldn't help laughing, and the room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Chen Feng chatted with the aunt for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Chen Feng looked at the aunt and asked.

"By the way, Auntie, I just heard Jin Ling say that you have something to tell me. You came to see me so late, is there something important?"

The aunt hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "Chen Feng, you know that your uncle is now in prison, and I have lost my support. I have always had an idea in my mind, and I want to discuss it with you, but I don't know if you will agree."

She paused, raised her head and secretly glanced at Chen Feng's expression to see if he was unhappy, but she only saw Chen Feng drinking tea calmly, waiting for him to continue.

So the auntie continued, "This is what I think. You see, I live alone now, and it's not worth it for me to cook for myself."

At this point, the aunt paused, as if observing Chen Feng's reaction, and then said: "I was thinking, can I share the meal with your family? When you cook in the future, I will make an extra bowl for you, an old woman."

When the aunt said these words, she kept looking at Chen Feng. Seeing that Chen Feng's expression did not change, she added: "Of course, I won't eat your food for free. I will pay you. I can give you ten yuan a month, and I can also help you take care of the children."

Hearing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He didn't expect that a lady would be willing to pay such a high price to solve the problem of eating. However, Chen Feng still kept calm and thought about whether to agree to this matter.

Seeing that Chen Feng was still silent, the aunt thought he still had concerns, so she continued, "If I help you take care of the child, Jin Ling won't have to take the child to work every day. She can leave the child at home and go to work easily."

To be honest, Chen Feng was really moved when he heard what the aunt said, because he knew that his wife Jin Ling worked very hard, and if someone could help take care of the children, it would really relieve a lot of her burden.

But Chen Feng finally did not agree to the aunt's request, because this was not just a matter of a bowl of rice, but involved a lot of trouble.

So Chen Feng said, "Auntie, I'm sorry I can't agree to your idea. You should find someone else to live with you!"

"Well! I think it's a good idea for you to find Qin Huairu. The Jia family is originally Yi Zhonghai's apprentice. If you go to them, they shouldn't reject you."

When the aunt heard what Chen Feng said, she sighed and said, "Chen Feng, I just don't believe Qin Huairu, so I came to you!"

"Chen Feng, don't be fooled by the fact that Qin Huairu seems to be very filial to Jia Zhangshi, but I know that's just Qin Huairu pretending to show off to other people in the courtyard."

"That's why I don't feel comfortable leaving the rest of my life to Qin Huairu."

When Chen Feng heard her words, he didn't know what to say. He could only say to himself, "Auntie, you are really good at judging people!"

When the aunt saw that Chen Feng didn't say anything, she thought that Chen Feng was secretly sympathizing with her, so she spoke to Chen Feng again.

"Chen Feng, as long as you agree to let me live with you, when I get old, I will write down my will and leave the house I live in now to you!"

When Chen Feng heard her say that, he couldn't help but secretly curl his lips in his heart. Not to mention that the property rights of the house belonged to the steel mill. Besides, was he, Chen Feng, someone who needed a house?

So Chen Feng said to Auntie in a calm tone, "Auntie, my family doesn't lack a house, so please don't mention living together anymore!"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, the aunt said anxiously, "Chen Feng, are you really not going to consider it again?"

Chen Feng did not answer Auntie's question, but asked her, "Aunie, do you have anything else to say? If not, please leave!"

"It's getting late now, I should rest too!"

When the aunt saw that Chen Feng's family started to see them off, she didn't know what to say anymore. She could only stand up and walk towards the door reluctantly.

When Chen Feng saw her stand up, he also stood up and sent her out. After sending her out, Chen Feng was able to close the door.

After Chen Feng sent the lady out the door, just as he was about to close the door, the lady turned back and asked Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, are you really not going to consider it again?"

Chen Feng smiled slightly when he heard her words, and then said, "Don't think about it. Well, it's getting late, I won't send you back, take care!"

After saying that, Chen Feng closed the door.

After Chen Feng closed the door, he turned off the lights in the main room and went upstairs.

The old lady standing at Chen Feng's door saw that the lights in Chen Feng's house had been turned off. She finally sighed and groped her way towards the central courtyard in the dark.

When Chen Feng arrived at the bedroom upstairs, he saw Jin Ling half lying on the bed reading a book and not sleeping.

When she heard Chen Feng coming in, she looked up at him. After confirming that it was Chen Feng, she put the book down and asked Chen Feng, "Husband, how was your conversation with the aunt?"

After hearing what Jin Ling said, Chen Feng took off his clothes and walked towards the bed, while responding to Jin Ling, "What else can we do? Of course we didn't reach an agreement."

Seeing Chen Feng say this, Jin Ling was also a little curious, so she asked, "Then husband, why did you reject the aunt? It's just a partnership, and our family will just have to cook one more bowl of rice."

When Chen Feng heard Jin Ling's words, he looked at her in surprise, and then asked, "Wife, do you really think so?"

Jin Ling was very confused when she heard Chen Feng ask this, and then she said, "That's what I think, is there any problem?"

At this time, Chen Feng also came to the bedside. Like Jin Ling, he leaned against the headboard and found a comfortable position to lie down. Then he said, "Of course there is a problem, and it's a big problem!"

"Let's not talk about what the neighbors will say about us after we live with Auntie. Let's just say, if Yi Zhonghai comes back and sees Auntie living with us, will he also want to move his family in?"

"If he wants to join, should we let him join? If we don't let him join, he and Auntie are husband and wife, we can't let them eat from two pots, right?"

"But if you let him join in, wife, don't forget that Yi Zhonghai was reported by us, and we have a grudge against him!"

Chen Feng frowned and analyzed in a serious tone.
