The Little Life of a Big Landlord

Chapter 45 Godfather

"How frustrating! I didn't do anything, how did I become the big bad wolf..." Lying on the wooden floor, Yang Ming listened to the laughter outside and thought to himself with great frustration.

Xiao Bao'er's actions were indeed touching. He also agreed with Wei Qingqing's decision to return tonight. Children's hearts are the purest and kindest, and who could bear to disappoint her?

Just then, the sounds of two girls playing and laughing came from outside the wooden house. Wei Qingqing said, "Bao'er, Auntie is giving you a task. You have to catch a hundred grasshoppers today, or Auntie and Uncle won't come back today..."

"Ah? A hundred? That's a lot. Can you make it less?" Xiao Bao complained incessantly.

"not good……"

"So, if I catch a hundred of them, will there be any reward?"

"Hmm... if you really catch a hundred, Auntie will bring you back a learning machine..."

"Pinky promise..."

"good!"

"Pinky promise, a hundred years from now..."

"How about using a toad instead? One toad is worth ten grasshoppers..."

"no……"

Yang Ming shook his head and chuckled as he listened to the two women's voices.

After preparing food and water for their pets and calling the Wei family to ask them to prepare for the move, the couple finally got up and set off.

When they returned to S City, it was exactly 10 a.m. Yang Ming and Wei Qingqing got off the bus as soon as they entered the city and took a taxi together to Meili Residential Area.

Sun Fangfang's home is in apartment 702, Building A, in the Meili residential complex. It is a large apartment, and there is only one unit in the entire building, with 6 apartments on each floor.

Yang Ming's two apartments are opposite Sun Fangfang's apartment, with unit numbers 701 and 703. The three apartments are right next to each other.

Yang Ming and his wife walked into the beautiful residential community together. Yang Ming had been here before when he bought two houses. The security guards remembered him very well and did not stop them at all. The two went straight to Building A and took the elevator to the seventh floor.

"Dinner's ready..." In the spacious kitchen, a woman in her early fifties, wearing an apron around her waist, was busy bringing milk, bread, and poached eggs to the table.

This person is Zhang Yang's mother, Zhao Fen, who is currently working as an accountant in a state-owned factory. She goes to her son's house every few days to take care of her beloved grandson and cook for her son and daughter-in-law.

Zhao Fen called out, but there was no response from her son and daughter-in-law's bedroom door. She grumbled, "Young people these days are so undisciplined! It's already 10 o'clock and they're still not up. Are they going to eat breakfast all at once? They'll ruin their health sooner or later..." She wiped her hands on her apron and knocked on her son and daughter-in-law's door. "Yangyang, Fangfang, come out and eat. If you want to sleep, eat first. Irregular eating habits will ruin your health..."

"Mom, don't worry about it, we're not hungry..." Zhang Yang's drowsy voice came out.

"You child..." Zhao Fen wanted to barge in and give her son a good scolding, but since her son was married, she had to save face for him in front of his wife, otherwise she would be completely under his control in the future.

ding dong ding dong...

The doorbell rang, and Zhao Fen quickly untied her apron to open the door. Through the peephole, she saw a man and a woman standing outside. The man wasn't as handsome as her son, but he was quite energetic and seemed very friendly. The woman was beautiful, no less so than her daughter-in-law. However, no one says that bad people have to look fierce.

"Should I open the door or not?" Zhao Fen hesitated, then spoke into the intercom, "Who is it?"

"Isn't this Zhang Yang's house?" Yang Ming took two steps back and looked at the house number. "I'm Zhang Yang's god-uncle."

"Bullshit, when did I ever have a godson like you?" Zhao Fen immediately had a very bad impression of this seemingly amiable young man.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is Zhang Yang's mother..." Wei Qingqing glared at Yang Ming and said into the loudspeaker, "Auntie, it's me, Qingqing, Fangfang's good friend. I was her bridesmaid at her wedding."

"Nonsense, although your voice sounds similar, Qingqing is an ugly duckling. When did she become so beautiful?" Clearly, Zhao Fen still had a strong impression of her son's bridesmaid. That face was so unforgettable that it could make a person lose their appetite for three days. It was hard to forget. At the time, it even made the best man back out.

Wei Qingqing was exasperated: "Once the pimples are gone, of course the face should return to normal. Didn't Fangfang and the others tell you?"

"I'm not one of those gossipy old ladies, why would she tell me that?" Zhao Fen was somewhat convinced, so she went to her son and daughter-in-law's bedroom door and gently knocked: "Yangyang, Fangfang, there are two people outside. One says he's Yangyang's godfather, and the other says it's that ugly girl Qingqing..."

Click...

The door opened, and Zhang Yang, shirtless and pulling up his pants, ran out: "Mom! Who did you say was here?"

Before Zhao Fen could say anything, Sun Fangfang came out in her pajamas: "Who else could it be? Yang Ming and Qingqing, of course..." Then she walked to the door, looked through the peephole, opened the door, and let the two of them in.

"Hello, Auntie..." Yang Ming and Wei Qingqing greeted Zhao Fen together.

Zhao Fen nodded as a greeting, then looked at her son and daughter-in-law: "What's going on here? Why does this young man say he's Yang Yang's godfather?" Zhao Fen was still a little resentful about Yang Ming taking advantage of her.

"He's my godbrother, so isn't he your son's god-uncle? Mom, go see your grandson, we have important things to discuss." Sun Fangfang dismissed her mother-in-law with just a few words.

"What? My son's god-uncle, my grandson's god-uncle, okay?" Zhao Fen muttered, then went inside to hug her grandson.

The four of them sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"Hmph, these are heart-shaped mooncakes, you two can only have one each..." Wei Qingqing said smugly, dividing the mooncakes she brought into two portions for each of them. These were the mooncakes that Xiao Bao'er had been hugging all night.

"What a treasure? It's just a regular mooncake, isn't it?" Sun Fangfang looked at it over and over, then took a bite with some disdain. The filling was very ordinary, just peanuts, melon seeds, and sesame seeds, but the taste was not bad.

"You don't know anything..." Wei Qingqing's eyes reddened again at the thought of Xiao Bao sitting outside her door all night. She glared at her best friend and slowly began to tell her story.

"This silly boy, he'll catch a cold again on a rainy day..." Sun Fangfang covered her mouth and cried.

"This is what kids in the mountains are like. If it were city kids, they would eat by themselves and then go back home, and then tell their parents, 'I delivered it,' and the auntie would even praise me..." Zhang Yang, that heartless bastard, was moved to tears while making sarcastic remarks.

"You two are being dishonest..." Yang Ming sat on the sofa, pointing at the two of them with a serious expression.

"What did we do to offend you? What did we do wrong? Tell me..." Sun Fangfang rolled her eyes at Yang Ming.

"Why didn't you come to our place last weekend...?" Yang Ming accused.

Sun Fangfang and Zhang Yang exchanged a glance. "You two really think so much about us?"

"Of course! You two are strong laborers. Do you know how we've been doing these past few days? We've been helping Aunt Liu pick corn every day, and our bodies are covered in cuts." Wei Qingqing stretched her arm out in front of her good friend to show her the small red marks on her arm.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect we were so lucky. We were working overtime last week, it's like heaven is helping us, otherwise we would have suffered." Sun Fangfang immediately became smug.

"Luckily, I was focused on my wife and didn't act alone, otherwise my face would have been a complete mess." Zhang Yang laughed even more smugly.

"What's so great about it? Let me tell you, even though we're suffering a lot, I've discovered a delicious dish. Can you guess what it is?" Wei Qingqing was even more smug than the two of them.
