"Brother-in-law, you have lived in our house for nearly half a month. We have good food and drink, but our family is not well off. Do you think you have been staying a little too long?"
"I think you should consider going back home. After all, it's not comfortable for you to live here because it's so crowded."
Looking at Ma Dong's appearance, Lin Yi actually wanted to laugh. He naturally knew from the beginning that Ma Dong wanted to drive him away. To be honest, he was used to living in a big villa, and living in this kind of house really felt cramped. But he had less than two weeks left on Earth, so he had to make do with it in order to spend more time with the old man.
Because when he comes back, he will probably only be able to see the old man's black and white photos.
Otherwise he wouldn't want to live here.
That's why he discussed with Chen Qiangwei to buy a three-story villa for their family and find a group of people to serve them.
The best of both worlds.
"Ma Dong, I know you don't particularly like us, but don't worry, we will definitely leave in three or four days at most."
Lin Yi didn't take it seriously at all and continued reading the newspaper.
"Three or four days, how many days exactly!" Ma Dong said impatiently, his hands on his hips.
"Hmm? Four days, maybe." Lin Yi estimated that the house should be ready in four days.
"You said it. If you don't leave in four days, I'll see what you say." Ma Dong left angrily.
Yu Qinglian had been eavesdropping outside, and when she saw Ma Dong's red-faced face, she knew that there must be a conflict.
"What's going on? Didn't you say you'd talk it over? Why are you arguing again?"
"Talk nicely? How can I talk nicely? I've said everything clearly. Your brother is so shameless that he just refuses to leave. He's an adult but he doesn't have any shame at all. How can such a person succeed? Bah, I think he's just a scoundrel." Ma Dong said angrily.
"Don't talk nonsense, my brother is really amazing."
"What's so great about him? I think he's just a gigolo. Didn't you see that he's the one taking care of the children? Basically, Chen Qiangwei has the final say in everything. Isn't that obvious? If I were like him and still fair and tender at the age of almost 40, I could also be a gigolo." Ma Dong said sarcastically.
Yu Qinglian said somewhat unhappily: "That's enough, my brother is not some gigolo, stop talking nonsense."
Ma Dong grinned with an expression that said, "Believe it or not."
"Forget it. I'm going to work."
"What are we having for lunch?" Yu Qinglian asked.
“What to eat? Eat cabbage sticks, potato chips, whatever is cheap. I don’t believe I can’t drive them away.” Ma Dong left angrily.
By noon, Guoguo and Wanwan, who were playing games in the house, were already starving. When they heard Ma Dong calling them to eat, they rushed out. But when they saw the table covered with green, they immediately curled their lips.
“Potatoes, vegetarian meatballs, pickled cabbage, stir-fried potato shreds with green peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, boiled cabbage...”
Ma Dong couldn't help but secretly rejoiced when looking at the expressions of the two girls. He thought, if you don't want to eat, go home and eat. If you want to stay at our house, go talk to your dad and maybe you can go home and have a good meal.
At this time, Chen Qiangwei had just dealt with some things. She had already found a house and paid the deposit. She planned to take her family to see it tomorrow and buy it if she was satisfied.
Lin Yi also came out and saw Chen Qiangwei making an OK gesture, knowing that things were almost done.
Seeing the table full of green food, Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I ate too much meat in the past few days. There's nothing wrong with eating something green."
