"Consultation fee? What's wrong with this guy? "
Ling Yun was lying lazily on the bed in cool pajamas. Her graceful curves could be seen clearly. She angrily listened to the busy tone on the phone and roared angrily, "This girl is so bold that she dares to hang up my phone."
"Yunyun, what are you shouting for?"
Chu Yunxiu, Ling's mother, opened the door and walked in with the vegetables she had just bought, asking in confusion.
Although Chu Yunxiu was already in her forties, she took good care of herself and looked like she was in her early thirties. Her appearance was 70% similar to Ling Yun's.
She had towering breasts, slender waist, perky buttocks, fair skin and beautiful appearance. She exuded the charm of a mature woman from head to toe. She was the favorite type of older sister complex.
"Uh, mom, I didn't shout for anything. I was just chatting with my colleague on the phone. Hey, you didn't go shopping with your little sister today. Why did you come back so early?"
Ling Yun got up quickly and came to her in slippers. She took the vegetables from Chu Yunxiu to the kitchen and asked curiously.
Chu Yunxiu showed a trace of tiredness on her face. She sat down on the sofa and rubbed her temples. "How can I still be in the mood to go shopping? Those damn developers want to develop our community and rebuild it into a small high-rise, but they want to spend less money. I was elected as the owner's representative. I went to negotiate with them early in the morning. Now the market price of our lot is at least 80,000 or 90,000 yuan per square meter. Those vampires actually only offered 70,000 yuan. I spent a lot of time talking with them in the morning, and they finally agreed to offer 75,000 yuan."
Ling Yun poured a glass of water for Chu Yunxiu. "Did you agree?"
"How could I agree? They want to buy my house with 75,000 yuan? I'm flattering them. We have four houses. Although the area is not large, it adds up to more than 300 square meters. According to the current market price of 90,000 yuan, we will lose 15,000 yuan per square meter, so we will lose more than 4 million yuan for 300 square meters. This does not include the rent during the development period and the profit we earn from renting. I won't do this kind of loss-making business. Those little bastards want to bully us, a widow and an orphan. Don't even think about it."
Chu Yunxiu cursed, which was not in line with her gentle and charming temperament. Her words showed her shrewdness as a Ninghai native 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 them from being bullied.
As a famous widow, Chu Yunxiu had a good face, a good figure and a good temperament. She was also a Ninghai native and had four houses under her name.
Over the years, she had attracted with countless lascivious men. and. Chu had attracted so many lascivious men., but she had been coveted, but she had been with those men.
There was once a suitor who wanted to molest her when he was drunk, but she chased him down three streets with a kitchen knife. He was so scared that he almost peed his pants. In the end, he knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.
From then on, even if there were people who pursued her, they did not dare to do anything improper. The neighbors in the community were all in awe of her.
But only Ling Yun knew that her mother, who had always been strong, hugged her and cried the whole night. She sobbed and told her that if she wanted to live a better life in this world, she had to learn to be a hedgehog. Otherwise, orphans and widows like her would be swallowed by others.
That night had a great impact on her. It turned out that her mother, who was the strongest in her heart, also had a fragile moment. So she became mature overnight, creating her current image of a tough woman.
They disguised themselves as a pair of hedgehogs, and anyone who tried to hurt them would be stabbed black and blue.
Listening to her mother's nagging, Ling Yun showed a trace of worry on her face. The first thing that came to her mind was not how much profit the demolition would bring to the family, but what would Ding Ning do if the land was really developed?
It had been five years. According to the rapidly changing housing prices, the rental fees were also soaring. They lived in the largest house, and the other two big houses and one small house were all rented out, which was also their main source of income.
Ding Ning rented the smallest house, which was only more than 40 square meters. At the beginning, he rented it at 1,500 yuan a month.
The rent had been rising for five years. A house of the same size in this area had risen to 3,000 yuan. Although Chu Yunxiu had never been kind to Ding Ning, calling him a little man all day and clamoring to raise the rent for him, in fact, she had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She had never raised the rent for him.
Perhaps, Ding Ning's life made her feel pity. A child without a mother and a daughter without a father would always touch the softest place in her heart.
"It should not be developed so soon." Ling Yun comforted herself.
Over the years, she had been used to living next to Ding Ning and living together like a family. If he suddenly left her life circle, she might not be used to it.
This made her feel a little worried. Especially when she heard that the developer was Hongda Real Estate, she was even more worried.
Hongda Real Estate had a gangster background. At the beginning, it started by forcibly supplying construction materials and fighting for construction sites. Although it had been cleaned up these years, it still kept a group of thugs. It changed its name to a demolition company, but in fact, it was just a new name, which was used to threaten those owners who did not cooperate with the demolition.
"Mom, don't force yourself. The background of Hongda Real Estate is not simple, and their means are not honorable. Over the years, there have been few cases of forced demolition and injury. Don't stick your neck out and get beaten up. "
After thinking about it, Ling Yun still reminded her. "Oh, I know.
Our community is also an old community. At the beginning, we only had a small house, where your grandfather and grandmother lived. Later, when your father and I got married, your father was afraid that I would miss your grandfather and grandmother, so he bought another house next door as a new house, which is the one we live in now. In the second year of our marriage, when you were born, the two families upstairs moved out one after another. Your father bought the two houses and rented them out. Later, after your grandfather and grandmother passed away, the small house was also left to me, which is the one Ding Ning rented. "Chu Yunxiu recalled the past with a touch of sadness on her face.
"In the blink of an eye, I have lived here for more than 40 years. Our house is old, and it's time to demolish it and rebuild it. But the neighbors who have lived nearby for decades get along with us like a family. When I was in trouble when you were a child, the neighbors helped to take care of you. I have no other skills except for my eloquence. They elected me as the owner's representative to negotiate with Hongda Real Estate. I can't let down the neighbors' expectations. I have to fight for the best conditions for them."
"But what if those developers use force when the soft approach fails?" Ling Yun understood her mother's mood, but she was still very worried.
"Now it's a society ruled by law. Even if they want to use force, they won't dare to do it openly. I'll be fine as long as I'm careful. Don't forget, this is our territory. As long as I shout, the entire community will rush out to help me."
Chu Yunxiu waved her fist and said in high spirits.
"Mom, can you tell me how Dad died?" Ling Yun carefully observed her mother's expression. As far as she could remember, she had never seen her father.
When she was eight years old, she asked her mother once. As a result, she didn't say anything but kept crying for a whole day and night. Since then, Ling Yun had never dared to ask again.
After so many years, Ling Yun also grew up. She really wanted to know how her father died. Finally, she couldn't help asking.
Chu Yunxiu's face suddenly became gloomy. She said emotionally, "Who said your father died? Don't listen to those people's gossip. Your father didn't die at all."
Ling Yun opened her 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 seemed to think of something and began to imagine on her own. "Did Dad find a new lover and abandon us?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Your father is not that kind of person."
Chu Yunxiu angrily gave Ling Yun a knock and sighed faintly. Recalling the past, a happy smile appeared on her face.
"Your father is the best man in the world. Girls in Ninghai have bad tempers and are very difficult to please. Mom is the same. I am very capricious, picky, and even domineering sometimes. But your father has never been angry with me. He always spoils me. Mom is careless, but your father is very careful. He changes light bulbs, repairs toilets, repairs household appliances, washes clothes, cooks, cleans. When I am with him, I don't need to care about anything. I don't need to ask. He always takes good care of me."
"It turns out that my father is a househusband." Ling Yun lowered her head and joked with a smile. Her nose began to ache, making her voice muffled. She pretended to be indifferent and secretly wiped the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes.
Only a child who grew up in a single-parent family could understand her mood. She longed for a complete family and a father who was as omnipotent as her mother described.
In that way, she could stand upright in front of those who scolded her as a "bastard without a father" and "born without a father" and proudly tell them that her father was the best father in the world.
She would no longer be like a wild child who stubbornly clenched her teeth, pursed her lips, and fought with them crazily because of others' insults.
She would no longer have to hide in a deserted corner and silently lick her wounds after being injured.
Licking
Licking her wounds and forcing a smile for fear that her mother would be sad …
Unfortunately, in the process of her growing up for more than 20 years, it was always her weak but strong mother who held up the sky for her. She could not let her feel the weight of a father's love.
She always wore a cold mask and pretended to be strong all the way. She lived like a hedgehog. Only in the dead of night would she drop all her defenses, bury her head deep in the quilt, and let her tears wet the quilt.
She lived like this for 16 years. It was not until the guy from the southwest border appeared in her world that she had her first real friend.
Perhaps it should be said that it was a kind of spiritual sustenance of sharing the same fate, and it also gave her heart a harbor to rest.
From then on, no matter what grievances she encountered, she could unscrupulously talk to Ding Ning. He was like a trash can, containing all her capriciousness and bad temper.
In fact, she always knew that Ding Ning gave in to her, loved her, and spoiled her, which made her feel very warm and at ease.
His appearance replaced the father in her imagination, compensated for all the missing fatherly love with his warmth, and filled the gap in her heart.
