Chapter 25

"Money? What's the matter with this boy?"

Ling Yun was lying lazily on the bed in her cool pajamas. She had a panoramic view of the graceful curve. She listened to the blind voice on the phone angrily and roared: "this chick is so bold that she dared to hang up my uncle's phone."

"Yunyun, what are you shouting?"

Ling's mother Chu Yunxiu opened the door and came in with the dishes she had just bought. She asked suspiciously.

Although Chu Yunxiu is already in his forties, he is well maintained. He looks like he is in his early thirties. His face is seven points similar to Lingyun.

With towering chest, slender waist, upturned hips, fair skin and beautiful appearance, she exudes the charm of mature women all over. She is the favorite type of Royal sisters.

"Er, mom, I didn't shout anything. I just chatted with my colleagues on the phone. Eh, you didn't go shopping with your little sister today. Why did you come back so early?"

Lingyun got up, pulled his slippers and greeted him. He took the dishes from Chu Yunxiu and sent them to the kitchen. He asked strangely.

Chu Yunxiu's face showed a trace of fatigue, Sit on the sofa and rub your temples: "It's not those damn developers who want to develop our community and transform it into a small high-rise building, but they want to spend less money. I was elected as the owner's representative. Didn't I go to negotiate with them early in the morning? Now the market price of our lot has to be at least 80000 or 90000 per square meter. They vampires only get 70000. My mother and him all morning They struggled with their words before they agreed to pay seventy-five thousand. "

Ling Yun poured Chu Yunxiu a glass of water: "do you agree?"

"How could I agree? Seventy-five thousand people want to buy my house. I'm so beautiful to them. Our family has four houses. Although the area is not large, it also has more than 300 square meters. If we calculate according to the current market price of 90000, we will lose fifteen thousand per square meter and more than four million for three hundred square meters, not counting the expenses we have to pay during the development period The cost of renting a house and the profits we earn from renting a house. I won't do this kind of money losing business. These little red guys want to bully our orphaned girls and widows. Don't think about it. "

Chu Yunxiu's swearing is totally inconsistent with her gentle and charming temperament. As soon as she speaks, she shows the shrewdness used by local people in Ninghai and her unique tough style.

But Ling Yun knew that all this was her disguise. She had to pretend to be tough in order to protect their mother from being bullied.

Chu Yunxiu, as a widow with a long reputation, wants to have a good face, a figure and a temperament. She is still a native of Ninghai. She also has four houses under her name.

Over the years, I don't know how many wild bees and butterflies have coveted her, but she has always kept her guard as jade. She doesn't give false words to those men and pulls Ling Yun to grow up alone.

Once there was a suitor who wanted to insult her while drinking, but she chased her for three blocks with a kitchen knife. She almost didn't pee. Finally, she knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

Since then, even if someone pursues her, they dare not have any wrong behavior. The neighbors in the community are in awe of her.

But only Ling Yun knew that her always strong mother hugged her that night and cried all night. She sobbed and told her that if she wanted to survive better in the world, she had to learn to be a hedgehog, otherwise there would be no bones left for orphans and widows like them.

That night had a great impact on her. It turned out that the strongest mother in her heart was also vulnerable, so she became mature overnight, creating her current image of a woman man.

They disguise themselves as a pair of hedgehogs, and anyone who wants to hurt them will be stabbed black and blue.

Listening to her mother's nagging, a trace of worry floated on Lingyun's face. For the first time in her mind, she was not calculating how much profit the demolition would bring to the family, but thinking what would Ding Ning do if it was really developed?

For five years, according to the rapidly changing house prices, the rental costs are also soaring. Their mother has lived in the largest one, and the other two large, one small and three houses have been rented out, which is also the main source of income for their mother.

Ding Ning rented the smallest house, only more than 40 square meters, which was rented to him by 1511 months.

Over the past five years, the rent has been rising, and the house of the same size in this area has risen to 3000. Although Chu Yunxiu has never given Ding Ning any good face, scolded him all day, and clamored to raise the rent for him, she is actually a knife mouth tofu heart, and has never raised the rent for him.

Perhaps it is Ding Ning's life experience that makes her pity. A child without a mother and a daughter without a father will always touch the softest place in her heart.

It shouldn't be developed so soon, Lingyun comforted himself.

Over the years, she has long been used to living next door to Ding Ning and living together like a family. If he suddenly leaves his life circle, I'm afraid he will not be used to it.

This gave her a touch of sadness, especially when she heard that the developer was a grand real estate.

Hongda real estate has a Mafia background. It first started by forcibly supplying construction materials and competing for construction sites. Although it has been washed white in recent years, it still keeps a group of thugs and changes their names to demolition companies. In fact, it is used to threaten and intimidate owners who do not cooperate with demolition.

"Mom, don't try to be brave. The background of grand real estate is not simple, and their means are disgraceful. Are there still few cases of forced demolition and wounding in recent years? Don't let people beat you in front of a bird."

After thinking about it, Ling Yun still opened his mouth to remind him.

"Oh, I know. Our community is also an old community. At first, our family had only one small house. Your grandfather and grandmother lived here. Later, when I married your father, your father was afraid that I would not give up your grandparents, so he bought another one next door as a new house, which is the one we live in now. The second year of marriage, when you were born, the two upstairs moved away one after another, Your father bought the two houses and rented them out. Later, after your grandparents died, the small house was left to me, the one rented by Ding Ning. "

Chu Yunxiu recalled the past, There was a lingering sadness on his face: "In a twinkling of an eye, I've lived here for more than 40 years, and our house is old. It's time to demolish and rebuild. However, the neighborhood neighbors who have lived nearby for decades are like a family. When your mother was a child, it was the neighborhood neighbors who helped take care of you. My mother has no other skills. She's only smart. They elected me as the owner's representative I can't live up to the expectations of my neighbors and always strive for the best conditions for them. "

"But what if those developers are soft and hard?" Ling Yun understands her mother's mood, but she is still worried.

"Now it's a society ruled by law. Even if they are hard, they don't dare to come blatantly. I'll be fine as long as I'm careful. Don't forget, this is our territory. As long as I shout, the whole community will rush out to help me."

Chu Yunxiu waved his fist and said in high spirits.

"Mom, can you tell me how Dad died?" Lingyun carefully observed her mother's expression. She hadn't seen her father since she remembered.

When she was eight years old, she asked her mother once. As a result, she didn't say anything. She just kept crying all day and night. Since then, Lingyun never dared to ask again.

After so many years, Ling Yun also grew up. She wanted to know how her father died. Finally, she couldn't help asking.

Chu Yunxiu's face suddenly became gloomy and said excitedly, "who says your father is dead? Don't listen to those people talking about it. Your father is not dead at all."

Ling Yun opened his mouth in shock and asked incredulously, "Mom, you said my father didn't die? If he didn't die, why didn't he come to us for so many years?"

Then she thought of something and began to make up her mind: "Dad, he has a new love and doesn't want us?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Your father is not like that."

Chu Yunxiu gave Lingyun a violent shudder, sighed faintly, recalled the past, and a happy smile appeared on his face:

"Your father is the best man in the world. We girls in Ninghai have a bad temper and are difficult to serve. So does my mother. She is capricious, picky and sometimes overbearing, but your father has never been red faced with me. He is used to me every time and let me spoil me. My mother's heart is thick, but your father's heart is very thin. He changes the light bulb, repairs the toilet, repairs household appliances and washes clothes , cooking, cleaning and being with him, I don't care about anything. I don't need to ask. He will always take good care of me. "

"So my father is a family cook." Ling Yun lowered his head and joked with a smile. His nose began to sour, making his voice stuffy. He pretended to be nothing and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Only children who grow up in single parent families can understand her mood. She is eager to have a complete family and have an omnipotent father as described in her mother's mouth.

In that way, she can stand tall in front of those who call her "wild species without father" and "mother born without father teaching", and proudly tell them that my father is the best father in the world.

No longer because of the abuse of others, like a wild child, stubbornly clenched his teeth, pursed his lips, and fought with them like crazy.

Do not have to hide in the corner of no one after being injured, lick your wound silently, and be afraid that your mother will be sad and forced to smile

Unfortunately, in the process of her growth for more than 20 years, the weak but strong mother has always supported a sky for her, which can not make her feel the massiness of father's love.

She always wears a cold mask, pretends to be strong all the way, and lives like a hedgehog. Only in the dead of night, she will remove all her precautions, bury her head deep in the quilt, and wantonly wet the bedding with tears.

Such a day, she spent 16 years, until the guy from the southwest border appeared in her world, so that she had a real first friend.

Perhaps it should be said that it is a kind of spiritual sustenance that sympathizes with life, and also gives her heart a habitat.

Since then, no matter what grievances she encountered, she can confide with Ding Ning recklessly, just like a trash can, containing all her willfulness and bad temper.

In fact, she always knew that Ding Ning was letting her, loving her and doting on her, which made her feel very warm and secure.

His appearance replaced the father she imagined, compensated all her missing fatherly love with his warmth, and filled the gap in her heart.

Knowing the female Mo ruo's mother, Chu Yunxiu didn't understand her mood. She sighed gently, stretched out her hand to hold the tearful Ling Yun in her arms, gently patted her back and comforted her as a child.
