Chapter 073: Sister
Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to see her so sad, so she comforted: "Don't worry, you have a house to live in."
Then he said to the fierce woman again: "How much is your house, my house is very close to you, if you don't offer it high, I will buy it."
"600 yuan is already very cheap, my family is in urgent need of money, otherwise they would not want to sell the house."
The woman pretended to be pitiful.
Xiaoxiao shook his head after hearing this, "I'll go and see it first." ”
She didn't want to settle down directly before looking at the house, the price of this house may be cheap outside, but the house here is estimated to be expensive.
Sure enough, Xiaoxiao went in and took a look and found that this house was much smaller than her house, with two gatehouses in front and a large yard in the back, but there were no wings on the left and right sides of the courtyard house, and the house was only a little better than when her house was not built, and it was barely able to live in people.
Three rooms and one hall, very small.
"Your house is much smaller than mine, five hundred! If you agree, I can give you the money now, let's make a note and go directly to the housing authority to transfer the right to the house. ”
Xiaoxiao calmly analyzed.
The woman hesitated a little after hearing this, and only agreed after a while, her family was going to move to another place, so she was in a hurry to sell the house, the house in this place is worthless, you can't rent it, and everyone nearby has moved away, and it can be sold and it is already calculated so soon.
Xiaoxiao came back not long after she went out, took out the money from the space, and then drew up two contracts to bring, and after the woman saw it and felt that there was no problem to sign, Xiaoxiao gave her the money and went to the housing authority with her.
An hour later, Xiaoxiao returned alone and saw the two siblings in the courtyard looking at her at a loss.
Seeing their uneasy looks, Xiaoxiao took a closer look at the two siblings.
The big one should be the elder brother, the young man is dissatisfied between his eyebrows and eyes, although he is tall but very thin, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, and he looks resolute and uninhibited. The clothes on his body are already small, and the wrists are partially exposed outside the sleeves. The girl was also very thin, and looked dirty in a thin jacket with many patches, so she thought that she had no clothes to change into, so she had to wear them all the time.
Seeing them like this, they couldn't help but comfort with apologies: "Don't worry that I will drive you away, you can continue to live here, I don't want rent, but this house will be mine in the future, as long as you maintain and clean it well, you can live forever."
"You're really not going to drive us away?" The boy stood in front of his sister and looked at her in shock, could this person who suddenly appeared believe what she said?
Xiaoxiao said gently: "Yes, I can't live in so many houses alone, and the newly built Zhou family's house not far in front is my home."
"Zhou's house! You live there! But I heard that it was haunted......"
The boy was even more surprised, how could he live there, but in the past half a month, he has been knocking down the old house and building a new house.
Xiaoxiao frowned, and a look of surprise flashed on her face, remembering what happened before, the old mansion of the Zhou family was indeed unclean before, but she had already solved it, and now the place is clean and fine.
Laughing: "Haunted? No, now the old house over there has been demolished and a new house has been built, and I will move back to live with you in the future, by the way, what's your name? ”
The girl looked at her brother, and the boy felt that if she didn't drive them away, she should not be a bad person anymore.
"My name is Chen Cheng fifteen years old this year, this is my sister's name Chen Yan is thirteen years old, the woman before is our sister-in-law, but the eldest brother is not my father's own, my mother passed away eight years ago, my father married the stepmother with the eldest brother, last year after my father also passed away, the sister-in-law said to divide the family, their unit divided the house and their family moved away, this house my father had been divided before his death, the eldest brother and I were half each, but Yan'er was sick and hospitalized last month, I had no money to borrow fifteen yuan from my sister-in-law, I didn't expect that today's sister-in-law will take it to the house, He was so ruthless and insisted on selling the house and kicking us out......"
After listening to Xiaoxiao, he understood the cause and effect, it turned out that they were not related to his eldest brother, no wonder that woman was so ruthless to sell the house and leave them homeless and living on the streets.
Sympathize with them, she is also a person who has no parents now, so it is the same experience, she saw that they were pitiful before, so she simply bought the house here.
"My name is Zhou Xiaoxiao, my parents also passed away two months ago, I have no family like you, let's live a good life together in the future. You will live here in peace, and no one will dare to drive you away in the future!"
"Sister Xiaoxiao, it turns out that you are just like us......" Chen Yan said in surprise.
Chen Chen walked Xiaoxiao, and then pulled Chen Yan and wanted to kneel down to kowtow to Xiaoxiao.
Before he knelt down, he was helped by Xiaoxiao, "Don't, what age is it now, we will all be the same in the future, I am your sister, you are my younger brothers and sisters, let's share hardships in the future." "It's all poor people, so why bother to be humble, not to mention that she just helped buy a house so that they have a place to live.
Chen Cheng and Chen Yan immediately nodded excitedly, "Yes! In the future, you will be our sister, and I will not let my sister be bullied. ”
"Brother, it was my sister who protected us just now......" muttered quietly.
Chen Cheng immediately blushed and was at a loss.
Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "It's okay, you can protect me and Yan'er when you grow up to be a man in the future!"
After speaking, he looked at him encouragingly.
Chen Cheng immediately nodded, "That's right!" When I grow up, I can protect my sister!"
Shino smiled and pulled them to the side of the two stools to sit down.
"Are you still in school?"
Looking at their age, they should still be in school, and today is not a weekend, how can they be at home.
Chen Cheng didn't say anything when he heard the word "go to school" and didn't say that he was in the second year of junior high school, but now he ......
Chen Yan replied beside her: "Sister, we don't have the money to pay tuition this term, so we ......"
Xiaoxiao heard this and understood what was going on, her mother died early, her father had a stepmother, and now she has passed away, and this semester has been in school for a month, but the two siblings have no money to go to school anymore.
"Sister, we don't have the money to pay the tuition, the family is poor, but it doesn't matter, my brother works for people to make money, I go to pick up the rags during the day and sell them at the scrap yard for money, we are doing well, after the sister-in-law's family moved out, we lived very happily here, until she suddenly came over today and said that she wanted to sell the house......"
After speaking, she lowered her head, although they lived in poverty and couldn't even eat, but it was good to be with her brother, she didn't envy people her age who could continue to go to school, and besides, she had been studying for a few years and could recognize some words.
