Chapter 104 Stepmother and Stepfather (Part 1)
Yuzhu frowned worriedly upon hearing Xiaofeng’s words. Renting? Why would she need to rent a place if she was perfectly fine? Could it be that she couldn’t stay in the village because of her pregnancy and was planning to rent a place in the city to have the baby?
Before Yuzhu could speak, Jianguo’s amiable voice chimed in: "Xiaofeng, right? Your mom told me about your situation. It’s not safe for a girl like you to be renting a place on your own. Let your mom prepare a room for you and come back home to live."
"Yes, yes, come back home to live." When Jianguo spoke, Yuzhu naturally agreed: "Your mother hasn’t been by your side to take care of you since you were little. Come to your mother’s side, and let her take good care of you. Besides, it’s not safe for a young girl to rent a place alone, and people will talk. Come home, where you’ll have Lin Jing and Lin Yue for company."
This damned Guaizi really is careless, letting Xiaofeng rent a place in the city by herself. If he didn’t want to take care of Xiaofeng anymore, he should at least speak up.
"Right, you are unwell now, and safety is the most important thing," Jianguo stood there like a benevolent father: "How much is the rent for this place? Cancel it."
"It can’t be canceled; it’s a binding contract," Xiaofeng stood there, barely reacting to Jianguo’s kindness.
"What kind of a way is that to speak?" Yuzhu laughed when she heard Xiaofeng’s response. She grew up in the village after all, not savvy enough—there’s no such thing as signing a binding contract for renting, she must have been tricked.
"It’s not like you bought the place, just stop renting it. What’s this about binding terms? It’s so inauspicious." Yuzhu approached to take Xiaofeng’s hand: "Where’s the landlord? Can you contact him? I’ll talk to him and tell him we’re not renting anymore."
"Uncle Yuan and his wife seem to have moved away from here. Before renting, Uncle Yuan told me I could rent as long as I wanted." Xiaofeng avoided Yuzhu’s attempt to hold her hand.
Yuzhu’s expression became awkward as she looked at Xiaofeng.
