Xu Jinmei said: "My sister is doing it for my own good. If it were me, I would probably do the same thing."
Lin Xiaodong nodded and asked: "Now, does Miss Xu still have any nostalgia or unfinished business for this world?"
Xu Jinmei shook her head: "I am an animal, why do I miss you?
Now that I have been reborn in a good place, I don’t want to stay in this world for a moment.”
Lin Xiaodong said: "It's fine if Miss Xu likes it there."
Xu Jinmei hesitated, then put her head over and asked, "Dao Zhang Lin, did my sister come to see you before?"
Lin Xiaodong blinked: "Ms. Chen told you?"
Xu Jinmei shook her head: "My sister has something on her mind, how could she lie to me."
Lin Xiaodong said: "Miss Chen is indeed here."
Xu Jinmei smiled and said: "Taoist Lin, my sister, I'm afraid she's already your wife, right?"
Lin Xiaodong hesitated whether to admit it or not.
Xu Jinmei stood up and said: "Taoist Master Lin, since you want my sister, you can't neglect me."
There is a silk and satin shop in Jicheng named Shun Fuxiang. The owner is Shen Chengnian, his wife is Ding Cuitong, and he has a daughter, Shen Tanghua, who is in her early twenties. She is arrogant and unruly and has never been married. She has become a heartache for her parents.
That morning, Shen Chengnian and his wife were sitting in the lobby and called Shen Tanghua.
Shen Tanghua has her hair tied into a bun, a red skirt, yellow flowers on her temples, and gold ornaments on her hands, ears, neck and even ankles. She has a plump figure and is jeweled.
Shen Tanghua asked: "Why did my parents call the little girl?"
Shen Chengnian sat upright: "Yesterday Mr. Liu's family sent someone to propose marriage again."
When Shen Tanghua heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes: "Dad! I told you, I won't marry Liu Mingpei!"
Shen Chengnian glared: "If you don't marry Mr. Liu, who do you want to marry?
You have chosen all the young masters in Jicheng!"
Shen Tang Hua Jinjin’s nose: “Liu Mingpei is now the concubine of the third bedroom!”
Ding Cuitong said: "Didn't his family promise to let you grow bigger?"
Shen Tanghua twisted his body: "I don't want three women fighting for my husband!"
Shen Chengnian shouted: "Young Master Wang was not married before, so you wouldn't agree to it?"
Shen Tanghua pinched his waist with both hands: "Wang Chu is only five feet tall and is not as tall as me!"
Shen Chengnian got angry, stood up and shouted: "Then what do you want to marry?"
Shen Tanghua stamped her feet and pouted: "I don't want to get married!"
Shen Chengnian waved his hand: "Do you want your parents to support you for the rest of your life?
How old are we?"
Shen Tanghua rolled his eyes: "I don't need you to support me!"
Shen Chengnian pointed outward: "You don't need me to support you, just leave now!"
Ding Cuitong grabbed Shen Chengnian: "Master, don't say that."
Shen Tonghua was also a bit angry, stamping his feet and waving his hands: "Just leave!"
Shen Chengnian stared: "Don't come back!"
Shen Tanghua rushed back to the room angrily and started packing his things.
The maid Wu Xinyi was puzzled: "Miss, what are you doing?"
Shen Tanghua was furious: "I want to go out and live!"
Wu Xinyi stared and opened her mouth: "Go out to live?"
Shen Tanghua threw the clothes into the cabinet: "My father told me not to come back!"
Wu Xinyi spread her hands: "This..." Ding Cuitong came in: "Daughter, what are you doing?
It’s okay to just say angry words, why don’t you really leave?”
Shen Tanghua glared: "Go away! Who said that a daughter must get married when she grows up?"
Ding Cuitong advised: "Your father just talks in anger, just listen to it. Marriage matters must be dealt with slowly."
Shen Tanghua said with a cold face: "Even if I am an old girl for the rest of my life, I will never be a second-bedroom, third-bedroom or fourth-bedroom for anyone!"
Ding Cuitong couldn't help but said to Wu Xinyi: "Xinyi, follow her and don't let her run around."
Wu Xinyi nodded: "Madam, don't worry. I'll go away for a few days to calm down and come back."
Shen Tanghua packed up and went out with Wu Xinyi.
Ding Cuitong went to Shen Chengnian: "Let you speak carefully, look, they are gone!"
Shen Chengnian was still angry: "Let her go! Can she live without me?"
Ding Cuitong shook his head: "Half of your silk and satin shop's business is owned by others. I'll leave you alone. How can you handle it yourself?"
Shen Chengnian looked sideways: "If I don't get married, I won't have this daughter!"
Ding Cuitong shook his head and sighed: "You two, father and daughter, have exactly the same temper!"
At noon, Shen Tanghua and Wu Xinyi came to a restaurant.
The waiter recognized Shen Tanghua and came forward and said, "Miss Shen is here!"
Shen Tanghua asked: "Is there any house in the city that has a yard that can be rented out?"
The clerk said: "Boss Chen Nian on Fengyi Street is selling an old house. Miss Shen can go and take a look."
Shen Tanghua inquired about it, and after dinner, he went straight to Chen Nian's old house. There was a notice of sale and lease on the door.
Shen Tanghua knocked on the door to see Chen Lai: "Hey, Miss Shen?"
Shen Tanghua asked: "Will Boss Chen's old house be rented out?"
Chen Nian nodded: "Yes, I live in such a big house alone and it seems empty. I want to change to a smaller one."
Shen Tanghua said: "I rented this yard."
Chen Nian asked: "Who will Miss Shen rent the yard to?"
Shen Tanghua said: "I live by myself."
Chen Nian was puzzled: "Miss Shen doesn't live in the house, but comes to live in my old courtyard?"
Shen Tanghua said: "I don't live at home anymore."
Chen Nian asked: "Why can't you stop?"
Shen Tanghua said angrily: "My father kicked me out."
After hearing this, Chen Nian said: "Miss Shen, just go back and admit your mistake to Mr. Shen, say a few soft words, and the matter will be over. Why does it have to be like this?"
Shen Tanghua closed his eyes and stamped his feet: "I don't!"
Chen Nian said: "Miss Shen, it's not safe for a girl like you to live outside alone."
Shen Tanghua looked at Wu Xinyi: "I have Xinyi to keep me company."
Chen Nian said: "Then let's do this, Miss Shen, you stay here for three months and then go back when you feel better."
Shen Tanghua refused: "I want to rent it for one year."
Chen Nian was embarrassed: "I would not be wronged by living in my old courtyard for a year, Miss Shen."
Shen Tanghua stared: "Are you going to rent it or not?"
Chen Nian just nodded: "I rent, I rent, Miss Shen will come with me."
The three of them were about to enter when they saw a person walking in the alley. He looked up at the locust tree in the courtyard of Shen's family and said, "There is something in this old house."
The three of them turned around and saw a man with bright eyes and fluttering sleeves.
Chen Nian Bu Le said: "You are so boring. My house is about to be sold, but you say you have something. How can you be so content?"
Lin Xiaodong pointed at the locust tree and asked, "How old is this tree?"
Chen Nian said: "It's been more than thirty years, why?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "The locust tree has a heavy yin energy and cannot be planted in the courtyard."
Chen Nian didn't believe it and curled his lips and said: "I have lived here for twenty or thirty years, and nothing has happened."
Lin Xiaodong glanced at Shen Tanghua and Wu Xinyi and said, "Just because you are fine living here does not mean that others are fine living here."
Chen Nian was angry: "I rented the house to Miss Shen, it's your turn to talk?"
Wu Xinyi asked: "Who are you to come here to meddle in other people's business?"
Lin Xiaodong bowed his hands and said, "Qiongchang Mountain Zhixu looks at Lin Xiaodong.
You two ladies should not live in a place with such a strong negative energy."
