"There is a second-hand goods market. It's right under Zhengyang Bridge. They sell everything. The prices are cheap, too."

The old lady was very happy when she heard that her things were not to be used.

"Girl, I can tell from the looks of it that you're a good hand at making a living."

After praising Qiqi, the old lady looked up at the jujube tree by the east wall of the yard.

"In autumn, on the 15th day of the eighth month, the jujube trees in our home will be full of red jujubes. Can they bear a lot of jujubes?"

Qiqi saw that this old lady was a stingy person, even caring about a jujube tree.

"Isn't it? I found that you people in this urban village are quite fond of planting trees. I visited several yards and found that every one of them had fruit trees."

Qiqi said casually.

The old lady's face turned slightly red.

The rent that Qiqi paid was not small. Besides, this urban village was not rented out by her family. There were rules for renting a house. Once it was rented out, everything in the house and yard would be the responsibility of the tenant.

The old lady wanted to take advantage of the woman because she was young and from another place, but she was outwitted.

How powerful is this woman?

"I have a cart at home. If you want to go to the flea market to buy something, it will be more convenient to push it."

As the old lady spoke, she walked out.

"Well, I'd like to thank you first."

Qiqi sent her to the gate of the courtyard and said to the old lady from behind,

"I'll go push it tomorrow."

Watching the old lady walk away.

Qiqi turned around and went back to the house.

"Sister-in-law, you are not the same as before."

After entering the house, Ma Long was diligent and had cleaned the house quickly.

There are three main rooms, the two at the east end are connected, and the west end is a single room.

"I'll live in the east end with the kids, and you can live in the single room in the west, Malone."

"Um,"

Ma Long agreed and the west room had a separate door. This would be convenient for him to live in. After all, although he called Qiqi sister, they were not actually related by blood. As a single man and a single woman, they had to avoid suspicion.

“Is it different?”

Qiqi smiled.

"What's different?"

"I told you not to be angry."

"Why should I be angry? If you have anything to say, just say it directly. You are not an outsider."

"I think you have become less kind to others since your master died."

"You mean to say that I've become mean and unkind, don't you?"

"Not really, it just looks like he's not that easy to bully."

Oh, Qiqi smiled bitterly,

"After all that has happened, if I were still that innocent and kind, I wouldn't even be able to look down on myself."

Malone nodded.

"A kind man is often bullied, and a kind horse is often ridden. It's good that this person doesn't bully others, but he must never allow others to bully him."

"As early as when Chen Bei died, I secretly swore that if anyone wanted to bully me or plot against me again, I would bully her back ten times more and plot against her to death."

Malone said nothing.

"I saw a haystack in the yard, Marlon. It's too late today. We'll go buy some old furniture tomorrow. Today you can bring some straw and we'll spread our bedding on it to get by for the night."

"I'll do it right away."

Ma Long hurried out to pick up some grass.

After working for a while, they finally made the temporary bed.

Ma Long ran out again and came back to buy dinner.

The four of them ate, and Ma Long fell asleep with the two children.

Qiqi dozed off for a while, and when she saw that it was almost midnight, she quietly got up and walked out.

Today, she and Chen Bei made an appointment to meet at the old place at midnight.

Although it is early summer, the nights are still a bit chilly.

Qiqi stood on the small hill and waited for two hours, but Chen Bei didn't come.

Could something have happened again?
