"The messenger said that it should arrive tomorrow." Grandma Xia said, "You two should go and clean up the house for Ruyu and the child to live in."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Song was very happy and took the initiative to pull Yang, "Third sister-in-law, I'll sweep the dust and you wipe the table."
Yang thought to herself, "You flatter your sister-in-law so that your daughter can marry in the county town in the future, and you even drag me into it!" But she didn't dare to protest in front of her mother-in-law, so she could only swallow her anger and go to clean the house.
…
Father Jiang was afraid that Xia Qianqian would go back on her word, so he quickly moved all the things out of the house. The car he borrowed yesterday for the lawsuit was still there, so it was just the right size to use to move the things today.
Clothes, food, furniture... It took three trips back and forth to finish the haul.
He said he was selling the house, but he didn't say whether he would take the furniture with him. So, he moved everything that could be moved. He was a little clever, thinking that he had finally got back 10%, and he was secretly proud of himself.
As a result, a large carriage came to the village, carrying a load of stuff: beds, cabinets, quilts... all brand new!
Xia Dingfeng sat on the shaft of the cart, smiling: "Have you finished moving the old ginger?"
"We've finished moving." Father Jiang looked at the carriage in surprise, "Xia Lao San, what are you doing?"
"Oh, these are all new furniture bought by my eldest niece. I will move them in after you empty them out." Xia Dingfeng was very proud, as if this whole truckload of furniture was bought by him.
Father Jiang was in a bad mood, and his remaining pride was shattered: "They are all new. They must cost a lot of money, right?"
"It's okay, my eldest niece can afford it." Xia Dingfeng went into the house to check the moving situation.
The house was empty, not even a piece of wood was left that could be moved. Xia Dingfeng's eyes twitched: "Old Jiang, you moved too clean, didn't you?"
"I just said to sell the house. The house is still there," said Jiang's father.
"Okay, it will be easier for me to paint the walls if we move like this." Xia Dingfeng said.
Father Jiang was stunned for a moment: "Paint the wall?"
"Yes, my eldest niece said that it needs to be cleaned and disinfected. Although I don't understand what disinfection means." Xia Dingfeng returned to the carriage, picked up two buckets of lime paste, and began to paint the wall.
Liu Bo and Liu Bing came to help, and the three of them repainted the interior walls in a short time, and the old house immediately had a new look.
Father Jiang looked on with red eyes, his heart aching.
"Have you finished brushing?" Xia Qianqian came in holding the silver charcoal she got last night. The ancient lime slurry was very thin, with limited covering power, but the smell was also light. She took out the silver charcoal and placed a few pieces in each room: drug addiction!
Liu Bing asked in confusion: "Miss Xia, what are you doing?"
"To get rid of bad luck." Xia Qianqian smiled mischievously. Actually, it is used to absorb bad odors.
"Niece, this won't do for bad luck, you need firecrackers!" Xia Dingfeng took out a small firecracker that was slightly longer than his palm and said proudly, "Your uncle has prepared it for you."
"Pfft!" Xia Qianqian laughed, "Thank you, Third Uncle."
Xia Dingfeng lit the firecrackers and threw them in the yard. They exploded with a crackling sound. The red firecracker paper scattered and landed on the snow, like joyous red flowers.
"Okay, let's move the furniture." Uncle Liu shouted. All the neighbors came out to help, and soon the furniture was moved into the house and arranged.
There were two beds, all with brand new sheets and quilts. There were two new cabinets, one for clothes and one for rice and flour. There were also cupboards, tables, chairs, and other things.
Father Jiang was so angry that his teeth were about to break! Xia Qianqian, this jinx, had extorted all his family's money and even his house. This revenge must be avenged!
