Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 256 Jealous Neighbor

Lu Qiaoge glanced at Aunt Bai, who had a big smile on her face.

He naturally took the two buckets from her hands and explained with a smile, "I didn't hear any knocking on the door of the northernmost room."

Then Lu Qiaoge walked to the well and pushed aside the bluestone slab that had just been placed over it.

However, Lu Qiaoge said with some difficulty, "Aunt Bai, I grew up in a military factory, and my family uses tap water. I've never seen a well like this before, and I don't know how to use it."

Lu Qiaoge's gaze remained impassive as she looked at Aunt Bai's face, not missing a single change in her expression.

There's treasure down here.

Therefore, we cannot overlook any suspicious person or thing.

Aunt Bai naturally knew how to use this kind of well; she didn't notice Lu Qiaoge's scrutinizing gaze.

Standing by the well, she skillfully lowered the bucket, filled it with water, and then rocked it back up before pouring the water from the small bucket into her large bucket.

Lu Qiaoge stopped looking at her.

This person was either a highly skilled actor who fooled her, or he was completely unaware of the situation and simply came to fetch water.

Soon, the two buckets that Aunt Bai brought were filled with water.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the woman secretly observing her.

His eyes darted around, clearly wanting her help to carry the water.

Lu Qiaoge didn't move. She was just a weak young girl; she didn't have the strength to help her carry water.

Lu Qiaoge didn't say anything, but pushed the bluestone slab back and told the tabby cat to go into the house and make noise.

Sure enough, we heard Hua Hua running around the house and pushing a broken jar off the windowsill.

A series of thumping and cracking sounds echoed in the room.

Lu Qiaoge looked anxious and said, "Oh dear, the cat has gone into the house. Could there be a mouse? I have to go check."

Then Lu Qiaoge ran into the house and played happily with the tabby cat, the swallow, the gray pigeon, and the sparrow.

The newly bought house is spacious, so even with Tao Tao and his calves flying around inside, it doesn't feel cramped.

Big Mouse and Little Mouse didn't run after them.

Actually, Mouse Two wanted to run away with them.

Big Mouse pulled him back.

If you run after the cats, it will look like Hua Hua is catching them.

Cat catching mouse?

Hehe, it doesn't want to play this game with Huahua.

Little Cangcang didn't play with them either, but obediently landed on the cherry tree in the yard and stared at the woman surnamed Bai.

Old Bai, standing by the well, frowned and looked into the house.

This house isn't cheap.

Initially, the families discussed together how to buy the house together.

However, they disagreed on how much money to receive.

She could only come up with a little over a hundred yuan; how big of a house could that be?
It would be a loss if it were worse than where we live now.

Before I could figure all of this out, the house was sold.

Su Hongmei from the district, some people here know her. She's been promoted to deputy section chief, and she's a very capable person.

She brought the person to buy it, so that person should be fine.

Moreover, it's a military factory, and you know that military factories pay high wages and have good benefits, so naturally they have money.

She had heard her mother-in-law say that this house was the best in the area back then.

There used to be a very mysterious group of people living there.

They don't interact with their neighbors.

They live a secluded life and I don't know what they do.

However, the family had guns.

After we took it over, we somehow ended up selling it.

Many people reported it, but it was later proven that there was nothing wrong with the sale. The person had inside connections and knew that some houses in this area were for sale, so they bought the best one in advance.

There are also more than ten other privately owned properties in this area.

But none of them are as big as this one.

Such an opportunity only comes once in a lifetime, and there's nothing you can do if you don't encounter it.

Old Bai looked into the house and saw that the pretty little girl was still catching the cat inside.

They're so irresponsible, they don't even know their own age, still teasing and harassing people.

I had hoped she would help me carry the water back, but now it seems I can't count on her.

Old Bai pursed his lips, somewhat displeased, picked up the two buckets, and laboriously walked towards his home.

The flowers in the house were having so much fun, their hearts were practically splitting open.

[Little master, come and catch me! Meow meow meow! You should be super fast, but why are you so slow today?]

[Tao Tao, Nini, you guys with wings, hahaha, you're flying so low! If we weren't such good friends, I would have caught you with one claw already.]

Tao Tao retorted, "If you weren't Hua Hua, only a fool would follow you flying."

Yes, yes, we play together because you're Huahua.

[You two are too well-behaved, standing motionless in the corner. Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd eaten rat poison. Hahaha, meow meow meow...]

Lu Qiaoge: ...

Speechless, I watched the arrogant Hua Hua.

This guy has never been one to keep his mouth shut.

Meanwhile, Xiao Cangcang had already left the courtyard and gone to the woman surnamed Bai's house.

Lu Qiaoge glanced in that direction.

Xiao Cangcang is an all-rounder.

Like the Great Rat, he is the most cunning, but also the most loyal to her.

Of course, she wouldn't show favoritism to any of them; they were all equally good, equally cunning, and equally loyal.

Lu Qiaoge grabbed the smug Huahua and said with a smile, "Alright, I should go back now. There are cookies, peanuts, and melon seeds on the windowsill. You and your brother can stay here, or you can go home tonight."

Big Mouse: [My brother and I stayed behind to watch the house. I like it here.]

They were doing well in the Lu family, but they had to be very careful. Unlike swallows, cats, and pigeons, they dared not be seen by the Lu family.

Lu Qiaoge reached out and touched the two little mice.

After they gained sentience, they became very clean. Now they live in the Lu family and are nourished by her energy. Their fur is smooth and has a colorful sheen.

However, no matter how good-looking it is, it's still a mouse, and it's definitely not something that family members can see.

At this moment, Xiao Cangcang flew over and whispered to Lu Qiaoge: "Just now, I followed the woman surnamed Bai to her house. After she put down the water bucket, she ran outside and stood at the door talking to a few women. This is what they said..."

Little Cangcang imitated it vividly.

[How could a young girl possibly buy a house? I absolutely refuse to believe it, not even if Deputy Section Chief Su were with her.]

[That's right. Looking around Jiangcheng, there's no other girl that old who can afford such a big house.]

Even if she started working at fifteen, she still wouldn't be able to save that much money.

[It must be an adult in the family. Who knows where the money came from? So the adults are too afraid to come forward and let her child buy it.]

[That's the case with Deputy Director Zhu of the machinery factory. All four of his children own houses, and his youngest daughter, at sixteen, still occupies a two-bedroom apartment. His eldest son owns two properties, one of which is rented out.]

[Oh my god, this is so unfair! Why hasn't anyone reported him?]

[I reported it, but nothing ever came of it, because factory managers and directors are all pretty much the same.]

[So, whose daughter is this Ms. Lu from? She's from a military factory.]

[Just ask around and you'll find out.]

[You're all just wasting your time, why bother with this? Even if the report is successful, do you think you'll actually get the house?]

Lu Qiaoge frowned; there really were people who were envious and jealous…
