Chapter 331: The Heart of a Villain
Grandma Xu prodded her chest forcefully, "I have done right by heaven and earth! If I have lied to you, kept a penny for myself, may I not live through this Spring Festival!"
"Grandma Xu!" Lu Youxi pleaded urgently, "You know you are innocent, but you don’t need to say such things about yourself for their sake."
Grandma Xu gave Lu Youxi a tender smile and said, "Since I am innocent, I am not afraid to say these words."
Zhang Jialiang looked somewhat uncomfortable and finally said after a long while, "Mom, why do you need to say that?"
"If I don’t say it, would you believe me?" Grandma Xu’s heart was thoroughly hurt tonight, so she just said, "There are no rooms left in our house, you should find a hotel in town to stay for a few days."
"How could there be no rooms?" Zhang Jiayu was stunned for a moment.
They had originally thought it would be fine to stay here even during the Spring Festival holiday.
After all, they didn’t need to spend extra money since food and lodging were provided at home.
"You suddenly came back without a word, so there’s no place for you in the house," said Grandma Xu.
"How could that be?" Zhang Jialiang disbelieved. "Mom, before every Spring Festival, you always clean the house thoroughly and tidy up the rooms, waiting for our return. You must have tidied up this time too."
