Bai Qiuyue couldn't help but widen her eyes. She felt that this woman was tricking her just to raise the price.
"I'm not cheating on you. It's seven yuan a month. Don't push your limits. You can rent a house in town at this price."
Seeing that his wife was angry, Lu Weiguo said coldly: "We don't need your few dollars. If you have nothing to do, just leave. We are still busy."
After saying that, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he closed the door.
At this time, Bai Qiuyue didn't know where the courage came from, and stretched out her hand to block the door.
Lu Weiguo didn't dare to exert force, fearing that he would be injured and entangled.
"What do you mean, I'm talking to you here with nice words, but this is your attitude?"
Bai Qiuyue simply didn't think that anyone would refuse to rent a house, especially in this rural village. They didn't have many ways to make money, so they would definitely not miss this good opportunity.
Even if I heard that the other party's family was an army officer, it could not change the fact that he left the village. Origin determines his horizons.
Shi Tingyu only thought that this woman was mentally ill. If she didn’t want to rent a house, she wouldn’t rent it. Can’t she understand Hua Guohua?
"Why are you renting my house? If I'm not mistaken, you are an educated youth, right? What are you doing renting a house in an educated youth spot if you don't live there?"
Bai Qiuyue thought the other party had relented, and a joyful look flashed across her face, "There are so many people there at the Educated Youth Point, and several people sleep on the same kang. The environment is not good, and there is constant friction all day long. Who would want to live in such an environment."
Shi Tingyu was waiting for her words.
"Shouldn't you educated youths go to the mountains and countryside to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants? Your attitude of fearing difficulties is wrong. If other educated youths can live here, you can't live there? This is a slippery slope in your thinking. You are engaging in capital hedonism. "
Bai Qiuyue's face turned really white this time, and she was frightened.
If this is labeled as capitalist enjoyment, it will be terrible later.
She glared at Shi Tingyu bitterly, "You don't want the money as a gift. Don't regret it later!"
What answered her was Lu Weiguo's door slamming shut.
Bai Qiuyue was so angry that she was shaking all over. She had never been so angry before.
She thought about waiting for the other mother-in-law to come back during the Chinese New Year, and she would talk to the other mother-in-law about renting a house. By then, the money would be in the hands of the other mother-in-law, so that the woman would not get a cent.
At this moment, the door to the courtyard next door opened, and Aunt Lu heard the movement and was looking this way.
Bai Qiuyue knew that the other party was the captain's wife, so she didn't dare to make any mistakes.
He smiled awkwardly and left.
Aunt Lu shook her head helplessly. She had already said she would not rent a house anymore. This was because she would not look back until she hit the wall.
This time the real owner was found.
At the beginning, Aunt Lu felt that the elder brother's family had lost a lot of money in vain. Later, it was her man who told her about the elder brother's family's idea, and she thought it made sense.
Now it seems that there is no sense in this. This is obviously too reasonable.
The educated youth just looked like a worry-free person. If she really became a neighbor with her family, even if her two sons were married, she would still be worried that the other party would cause other things.
After Bai Qiuyue returned, the educated youth with a bit of an educated youth asked angrily, "Have you rented your house yet?"
Bai Qiuyue glared at the other party, "What does it have to do with you whether I rent it or not? It's easy to take care of yourself and not worry about it."
The man wasn't upset at all, he just laughed sarcastically.
Anyone with a bit of money has considered the house next door to the captain's house, but which one has succeeded? Not all of them come back in vain.
It's just this new guy who can make a scene.
Bai Qiuyue was angry at the other party's attitude, but she didn't dare to really break up with him. He was also an old educated youth, and he still had some prestige among the educated youth.
Seeing Bai Qiuyue turn around and lie down on the kang, the educated youth said: "Today it's your and my turn to cook. Hurry up, everyone is hungry."
Bai Qiuyue's face looked a little unwilling. She had been delayed outside for such a long time and thought that the other party would do it first. Unexpectedly, the other party didn't do anything and insisted on waiting for her to come back together.
Under the gaze of the other party, Bai Qiuyue reluctantly got up, thinking to herself that in a few days, when the woman's mother-in-law comes back to celebrate the New Year, she will definitely be able to rent a house.
Shi Tingyu still didn't know that Bai Qiuyue had not given up. At this time, she and Lu Weiguo were sorting out the things for Shi's father and Shi's mother after dinner.
When it was late at night, she was going to the cowshed to see her parents.
The waiting time was excruciating, but fortunately no one in the team would wander around at night in winter.
After checking the time on their watches, it was already eleven o'clock. The two of them wrapped themselves tightly and headed towards the bullpen.
At this time, the entire brigade was completely silent, and the north wind was howling. Lu Weiguo held a flashlight in one hand and held Shi Tingyu's shoulder in the other as he walked toward the bullpen.
The bullpen is to the north of the brigade, close to the back hill. The further you go, the fewer the houses.
Seeing the bullpen right in front of him, Lu Weiguo suddenly turned off the flashlight and covered Shi Tingyu's mouth.
At the same time, Shi Tingyu's mind showed two people not far from the bullpen.
This was the spatial cue she had just received in her mind.
She didn't know when the space was upgraded. As long as she thought about it, she could find people within a fifty-meter radius.
Just walking on the road, she kept muttering in her heart, hoping that this time it would go well and not be discovered, and then she was reminded by the space.
She touched Lu Weiguo's hand and signaled that she would not make any sound. Lu Weiguo let go of her.
Neither of them moved. Lu Weiguo frowned. His long-trained intuition told him that there was someone near the bullpen.
After waiting in the cold wind for a long time, that feeling is still there.
Shi Tingyu’s space reminder is always there.
Finally, Lu Weiguo took Shi Tingyu's hand and led her on the way there.
Shi Tingyu knew that he couldn't see it today.
Going back was much slower than when they came. Without the light of the flashlight, they walked extra carefully on a winter night when they couldn't see their fingers.
After arriving home, Lu Weiguo first asked Shi Tingyu to get on the kang.
Shi Tingyu was a little anxious, "Is someone watching my parents?"
Lu Weiguo was silent for a while and said, "Maybe."
"Then will my parents be in danger?" Shi Tingyu was really anxious now.
However, Lu Weiguo had a different view. When he felt someone was near the bullpen, he immediately felt that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were being targeted.
But when I think about it, that's not the case.
Seeing that his wife was anxious, Lu Weiguo told her his thoughts, "If that person is really staring at my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I don't think he is a bad person."
"What do you say?" Shi Tingyu asked anxiously.
"Now that I think about it, it was a little too smooth for my father-in-law and my mother-in-law to be transferred to the Qianxi Brigade. Our marriage is not a secret. If anyone has been keeping an eye on my father-in-law and mother-in-law, they must know that the Qianxi Brigade is my hometown. It is absolutely impossible to send people here."
"And if someone is really watching my father-in-law and my mother-in-law, they must have seen the special care given by my second uncle and the others, especially the cotton-padded clothes they gave them. If there is such a big move, it is impossible for anyone who is following them not to know about it."
Shi Tingyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his mind was running at high speed, "In other words, the person the other party is tracking is probably not the enemy."
