Chapter 416: Chapter 285 Moving Back
It was the first night watch.
-----------
At this time, anyone coming must have significant ties with the Zhou family, and they would also understand the current state of the Zhou family, so what face-saving measures could there possibly be left?
Realizing this, Lin Yanqiu, who had already hastily stood up, throwing aside her cloth, slowly crouched down again and resumed wiping the floor. What Qin Xiangyi wanted was for her to lose face in front of everyone; well, she would satisfy her. Perhaps if she felt that Lin Yanqiu had lost enough face, she would tire of tormenting her...
Seeing Lin Yanqiu act this way, everyone who had stopped their chores also returned to their respective tasks. They could not act rashly any longer; they had to unite in their actions with Lin Yanqiu.
Qin Xiangyi’s first visit was on the second day after they moved in when everyone was discussing finding some odd jobs to supplement the family income. She swaggered in with her brother Qin Xiangjiang and declared, "Lin Yanqiu, this house belongs to our family. If you rent my house, you must take good care of it; otherwise, I can take back the house anytime." Then, like instructing a maid, she demanded that everyone polish and scrub various spots.
When someone is determined to target another, reason has nowhere to stand.
Zhou Shanping and Zhou Xikang also understood the real meaning behind the clause in the rental agreement that stated the landlord had the right to take back the house at any time if the tenant did not take care of the property and that a 30% penalty fee would apply. At the time, they took maintenance for granted as preventing damage to the property, not realizing everything was targeted.
If they sought justice from Elder Wan or Elder Jing, they might get it back, but these two families had already done enough for the Zhou family. The general consensus was to endure if possible.
Therefore, every time they went to visit the old masters and mistresses, they always unanimously reported only good news.
Lin Yanqiu now hoped the visitor was either her older sister Lin Yanmei or her good friend Song Xiaoyu. Since moving here, only they had visited, and she had already made them promise not to spread the word about the situation.
Qin Xiangjiang, who had been idly standing outside smoking, stared at the girl stepping off the car. Dressed in the same black pants and blue coat, why did she exude an aura of a fairy?—Please forgive his limited vocabulary; the word "fairy" was already stretching it for him.
Seeing the man getting out of the car on the other side, Qin Xiangjiang’s face changed abruptly. He hastily dropped his cigarette to the ground, and ran into the house, "That’s enough for today," he said while pulling Qin Xiangyi outside.
Everything happened so suddenly that everyone, including Qin Xiangyi, didn’t understand his abrupt behavior. In a moment of confusion, Zhou Mikang and Chuxia had already appeared at the doorstep.
On the way here, Chuxia had relayed to Zhou Mikang the situation Song Xiaoyu had described. So, witnessing everyone bustling around like a major school cleanup, Zhou Mikang wasn’t too surprised.
He just glanced at Qin Xiangyi, who was standing in the middle of the room looking astonished, and snorted coldly.
"Mom," Chuxia quickly ran to Lin Yanqiu’s side, helping her up, "Dad, didn’t Dad come over?"
Because she knew that Zhou Jingping had already arrived ahead of them, she hadn’t rushed over but waited for Zhou Mikang to come with her. However, she hadn’t expected to be greeted by such a scene.
"Xiaomi is back?" Lin Yanqiu felt as if she were in a dream, and even pinched her own thigh to make sure it was real.
Zhou Gangping dropped the cloth he was washing and hurried over to Zhou Mikang, grabbing his arm. Feeling the real warmth, he asked with a trembling voice, "When did you get back?"
Taking advantage of the chaos, Qin Xiangjiang dragged Qin Xiangyi to run outside. He knew the formidable might of Zhou Mikang, the fierce star who could actually cripple his sister!
With Zhou Mikang’s skills, stopping them would have been a cinch, but he merely glanced at them and couldn’t be bothered to deal with them. His father had left three hours earlier and hadn’t arrived yet; his main focus was right here.
As for that brother and sister, there would be time to settle scores later!
While everyone went from joy to panic, worried whether Zhou Jingping had encountered an ambush on the road, another car could be heard pulling up outside. Lin Yanqiu was the first to rush out.
And indeed, the person getting out of the car was Zhou Jingping!
"Where did you run off to? You almost scared us to death, do you know that?" Lin Yanqiu, no longer caring that everyone was watching, hugged Zhou Jingping and burst into tears.
