Chapter 418: Chapter 421 Moving Out_1
"You need to go check on your wife; she’s about to move out with the two girls," Wang Clan said anxiously.
Tan Zhengyuan said indifferently, "Let them do what they want, what does it have to do with me?"
"Have you forgotten what I discussed with you?"
Wang Clan glared at Tan Zhengyuan; Hu’s Clan was capable, a perfect match for a lazy man like Tan Zhengyuan, yet he acted as if it had nothing to do with him.
Tan Zhengyuan said impatiently, "Mind your own business."
He had his own plans for the situation; as long as Hu’s Clan and the child still stayed in the village, that was enough.
Wang Clan, having been met with a cold shoulder, stormed off in a huff, resolving not to cook for him again and definitely not to pay his taxes next year.
Let him fend for himself; after all, Tan Zhengyuan himself had said she didn’t need to bother with his affairs.
During Hu’s Clan move, Tan Zhengyuan merely glanced over once.
The next day, Hu’s Clan moved their belongings to their new home.
She wanted none of the Tan Family’s possessions, taking only her clothes and what she had acquired herself.
"Aunt Gui, thank you for renting this house to us," Er Ya said sweetly.
Gui Niang ruffled Er Ya’s hair: "No need to thank me, rest up first. I will call you for dinner in a bit."
"We’ve already inconvenienced you, how could we have the nerve to eat at your house?"
Hu’s Clan quickly refused, grateful for even being taken in.
"Just remember you owe me, and that’s enough for now. You’re not staying just a day or two, and when you folks are free, I’m definitely going to eat at your place," Gui Niang said with a wink. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
They weren’t related by blood, yet she showed more kinship than their own relatives.
Er Ya squinted her eyes with a smile: "Mom, I like having Aunt Gui as a neighbor, she’s a good person!"
Hu’s Clan completely agreed; Gui Niang was known in the village for her warmth, but they couldn’t take unfair advantage of her hospitality.
"Today, let’s get the house sorted, and tomorrow shall we buy some meat and veggies to invite the people who helped us for a meal?"
Fourth Boss and his spouse, Erhu and Chao Lian, as well as Yue Niang’s Couple, had all given them a lot of help.
"Okay, I’ll invite folks over tomorrow,"
Da Ya took on the task eagerly.
Having reached a consensus, they began to arrange their new home, with the few missing things to be bought the next day.
Arriving at a new place meant the start of a new life, and they had to work even harder.
The next day at noon, Hu’s Clan prepared a table full of dishes and even brewed some rice wine.
At the table, Hu’s Clan personally poured drinks for everyone.
"Mom, I want to drink too," protested Er Ya, feeling ignored.
"No, children can’t drink alcohol, it’s easy to get drunk, and it stunts growth," Hu’s Clan urged quickly.
"Just a little bit, okay?"
Er Ya licked her lips; happy moments called for wine, and she was nearly ecstatic today, how could she be denied?
Hu’s Clan playfully glared at Er Ya but still poured a small sip of rice wine for the two girls.
Da Ya and Er Ya sipped carefully, smacking their lips as if savoring the taste.
Their endearingly clumsy mannerisms made everyone laugh.
"I and my daughters truly thank you all; I don’t know what we would have done without your help. Just tell me if there’s anything, and I won’t hesitate to lend a hand,"
Hu’s Clan said with teary eyes.
Qiao Duo’er spoke with a smile, "Sister Lan, we are family, so such formal words only create distance."
"Right, I’ll stop talking like that. Make sure you all eat plenty; you have to finish it all,"
Hu’s Clan quickly dabbed away her tears, admitting that she had never been good with words; she decided it would be better to show her gratitude through actions in the future.
