"Diagnostic fee? Why is this kid so crazy?"

Ling Yun lay lazily on the bed wearing cool pajamas, with her graceful curves in full view. He listened angrily to the blind tone on the phone and roared angrily: "This little girl is so cowardly that she dares to hang up on me.

."

"Yunyun, what are you shouting?"

Ling's mother, Chu Yunxiu, opened the door and walked in, carrying the vegetables she just bought, and asked doubtfully.

Although Chu Yunxiu is already in her forties, she takes good care of herself and looks like she is in her early thirties. Her appearance is very similar to Ling Yun.

She has tall breasts, slender waist, perky hips, fair skin, beautiful appearance, and exudes the charm of a mature woman. She is the favorite type of nymphomaniacs.

"Uh, Mom, I didn't shout anything. I was just chatting with my colleagues on the phone. Hey, you didn't go shopping with your little sisters today. Why are you back so early?"

Ling Yun climbed up quickly, pulled on his slippers and came over to greet him. He took the dishes from Chu Yunxiu's hand and sent them to the kitchen, and asked strangely.

Chu Yunxiu showed a trace of tiredness on her face, and sat down on the sofa, rubbing her temples: "How can I still think about shopping? It's not like those damn developers want to develop our community and transform it into a small high-rise, but they want to spend less money.

, I was elected as the owner representative by everyone

, didn’t you go negotiate with them early in the morning? Now the market price of our area is at least 80,000 to 90,000 yuan per square meter. These vampires actually only paid 70,000 yuan. I have been talking to them all morning.

, they agreed to pay up to 75,000."

Ling Yun poured a glass of water for Chu Yunxiu: "Then do you agree?"

"How could I possibly agree? I want to buy my house for only 75,000 yuan. I'm so flattering to them. Our family has four houses. Although the area is not large, the total area is more than 300 square meters. If we follow the current

If the market price is 90,000 yuan, we will lose money per square meter.

Fifteen thousand, three hundred square meters will cost more than four million. This does not include the cost of renting a house during the development period and the profit we made from renting the house. I will not do this kind of money-losing business.

These little red guys want to bully us orphans and widowed mothers, don’t even think about it.”

Chu Yunxiu's curses were incompatible with her gentle and charming temperament. When she spoke, she showed her usual shrewdness as a native of Ninghai and her unique tough style.

But Ling Yun knew that all this was her disguise, and she had to pretend to be tough in order to protect the two of them from being bullied.

As a famous widow, Chu Yunxiu needs good looks, good figure, and good temperament. She is also a native of Ninghai and has four houses to her name.

I don’t know how many bees and butterflies she has aroused in these years, but she has always kept her integrity and treated those men without any pretense, pulling Ling Yun to grow up alone.

There was once a suitor who wanted to molest her while he was drunk, but she chased him for three streets with a kitchen knife. He almost pissed himself with fear, and finally knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

From then on, even if someone pursued her, she would not dare to do any wrongdoing. The neighbors in the community were in awe of her.

But only Ling Yun knew that her mother, who had always been strong, hugged her and cried all night, sobbing and telling her that if she wanted to survive better in this world, she must learn to be a hedgehog, otherwise orphans and widowed mothers like them would be swallowed up by others.

Not even a scrap of bones is left.

That night had a great impact on her. It turned out that the strongest mother in her heart also had times of vulnerability, so she matured overnight and created her current image of a woman.

They disguise themselves as a pair of hedgehogs, and anyone who tries to harm them will be covered in prickly wounds.

Listening to her mother's babble, a trace of worry appeared on Ling Yun's face. The first thing in her mind was not calculating how much profit the demolition would bring to the family, but thinking about what Ding Ning would do if it was really developed.

It has been five years, and according to the current rapidly changing housing prices, rental costs are also constantly rising. The two of them live in the largest apartment by themselves, and rent out the other three apartments, which are the main source of income for the two of them.

source.

Ding Ning rented the smallest house, which was only more than 40 square meters. It was originally rented to him at a rate of 1,500 yuan a month.

The rent has been rising in the past five years, and the price of a house of the same size in this area has risen to 3,000. Although Chu Yunxiu has never given Ding Ning any good looks, calling him a little red guy all day long, clamoring to increase his rent, but in fact

She is a smart girl, but she has never given him a hard time.

Perhaps it was Ding Ning's life experience that made her feel pity. A child without a mother and a daughter without a father would always touch the softest part of her heart.

It shouldn't be developed so soon, Ling Yun comforted himself.

Over the years, she has long been accustomed to living next to Ding Ning, 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, which made her even more worried.

Hongda Real Estate has a gangster background. It first started by forcibly supplying construction materials and competing for construction sites. Although it has been cleansed over the years, it still maintains a group of thugs and changed its name and surname to a demolition company. In fact, it is changing the soup without changing the medicine.

, is used to threaten and intimidate those owners who do not cooperate with the demolition.

"Mom, stop trying to be brave. The background of Hongda Real Estate is not simple, and their methods are not honorable. Are there not many cases of forced demolitions and beatings in recent years? Don't let others beat you up in front of others."

After thinking about it, Ling Yun finally opened his mouth to remind him.

"Hey, I know, our community is also an old community. At the beginning, our family only had a small house, and your grandpa and grandma lived here. Later, when your dad and I got married, your dad was afraid that I would not be able to let go of your grandpa.

Grandma, she bought a new house next door, so

This is the house we live in now. When you were born in the second year of marriage, the two houses above moved out one after another, so your father bought both houses and rented them out. Later, after your grandparents passed away,

That small house was also left to me, the one Ding Ning rented."

Chu Yunxiu recalled the past with a trace of sadness on her face: "In a blink of an eye, I have lived here for more than 40 years. Our house is also old, and it is time to demolish it and rebuild it.

But the people living nearby are all neighbors who have been together for decades, and they get along like one family.

When you were a child, whenever your mother had something to do, the neighbors would help take care of you. Mom had no other skills but a sharp tongue. They elected me as the owner's representative to negotiate with Hongda Real Estate. I can't live up to the expectations of the neighbors.

We must always strive for the best conditions for them.”

"But what if those developers are too soft to be tough?" Ling Yun understood his mother's mood, but was still worried.

"We are a society ruled by law now. Even if they come to be tough, they don't dare to come blatantly. As long as I am careful, I will be fine. Don't forget, this is our territory. As long as I give a shout, the whole community will rush out to help.

mine."

Chu Yunxiu waved his fist and said energetically.

"Mom, can you tell me how dad died?" Ling Yun carefully observed her mother's expression. She had never seen her father since she could remember.

When she was eight years old, she asked her mother once, but she didn't say anything. She just kept crying for a whole day and night. From then on, Ling Yun never dared to ask again.

After so many years, Ling Yun has grown up. She really wanted to know how her father died, and finally couldn't help but ask.

Chu Yunxiu's face suddenly darkened, and she said emotionally: "Who said your father is dead? Don't listen to those people's talk. Your father is not dead at all."

Ling Yun opened his mouth in shock and asked in disbelief: "Mom, you said my dad is not dead? If he is not dead, why hasn't he come to us for so many years?"

Then, as if she remembered something, she began to think on her own: "Could it be that dad has found a new love and doesn't want us anymore?"

"Don't talk nonsense, your dad is not that kind of person."

Chu Yunxiu gave Ling Yun an angry shudder, sighed quietly, and recalled the past, with a happy smile on her face:

"Your dad is the best man in the world. We Ninghai girls don't have very good tempers and are difficult to take care of. Mom is the same, very willful, picky, and even overbearing sometimes, but your dad has never been

You've never blushed with me before, you always get used to it

You care about me, you care about me, your mother is careless, but your father is very caring. I don't have to worry about changing light bulbs, repairing toilets, repairing home appliances, washing clothes, cooking, cleaning, and being with him.

, no need to ask, he will always take good care of me."

"So my dad is a stay-at-home husband." Ling Yun lowered his head and joked with a smile, his nose began to sore, making his voice muffled, and he pretended to be nonchalant and secretly wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

Only children who grew up in a single-parent family can understand her feelings. How much she longed to have a complete family and have an almighty father like what her mother described.

That way she can stand upright in front of those who call her "a bastard without a father" and "a mother but not a father", and proudly tell them that my father is the best father in the world.

You no longer have to act like a wild child because of other people's insults, gritting your teeth stubbornly, pursed your lips, and fighting with them like crazy.

After being injured, you can only hide in a deserted corner, licking your wounds silently, and fearing that your mother will be sad and force a smile...

Unfortunately, during her more than 20 years of growth, it was always her weak but strong mother who held up the sky for her, unable to make her feel the weight of her father's love.

She always wore a cold mask, pretending to be strong all the way, living like a hedgehog. Only in the dead of night would she take off all her guard, bury her head deep in the bed, and let her tears wet the bed.

She lived like this for sixteen years, until that guy from the southwest border appeared in her world, giving her her first real friend.

Perhaps it should be said that it was a kind of spiritual sustenance of sympathy for each other, which also gave her heart a harbor to rest in.

From then on, no matter what grievances she encountered, she could talk to Ding Ning without restraint, just like a trash can, containing all her willfulness and bad temper.

In fact, she always knew that Ding Ning was letting her go, caring for her, and pampering her, which made her feel warm and at ease.

His appearance replaced the father in her imagination, using his warmth to compensate for all her missing fatherly love and filling the void in her heart.

How could Chu Yunxiu, the beloved daughter Mo Ruomu, not understand her mood? She sighed softly, stretched out her hand to hold the tearful Ling Yun in her arms, and patted her back gently to comfort her like she did when she was a child.
