Wang Lin remained calm and composed. He gestured for He Yushui to leave, saying, "Miss He Yushui, please leave my house. You are not welcome here. Okay?"
"Wang Lin! You're not going to comfort me and you're even trying to kick me out?" He Yushui looked at Wang Lin in disbelief.
"What the hell!" Wang Lin was too lazy to argue with He Yushui any longer and risk making a fool of himself, so he simply pulled He Yushui outside and told her to reflect on her actions.
Outside the door, the cold wind was biting; it was just like winter in Beijing!
The deaf old woman saw everything, but she had no intention of opening the door. After all, she only cared about He Yuzhu. In her eyes, He Yushui was useless and would get married sooner or later, so she wasn't worth "investing" in.
He Yushui stood outside the door for five minutes before finally stamping her foot and uttering a harsh statement: "Wang Lin! From now on, we'll go our separate ways."
Wang Lin inside pretended not to hear. What! A high-quality man who has transmigrated and has his own cheat ability, do I need He Yushui?
Previously, He Yushui, relying on her high school graduation, was arrogant and thought that no one without a good job and a promising future could catch her eye. Wang Lin was not only handsome but also a well-known academic star in school. With these two advantages, she inexplicably became closer to Wang Lin in her daily life, and rumors spread in the courtyard that the two were secretly dating.
After He Yushui left, Xu Damao couldn't help but admire Wang Lin and gave him a thumbs up.
Not being easily manipulated by women—that's the style of a true Beijing man!
Lou Xiao'e slapped Xu Damao's hand and said irritably, "I think Wang Lin and He Yushui are a good match. They are both intellectuals, and their future children will definitely be smart."
Xu Damao sneered. In this era, capitalists are universally condemned, while the working people are the most glorious.
Wang Lin stopped Lou Xiao'e from trying to play matchmaker, saying, "Sister Xiao'e, I, Wang Lin, am not bad-looking, am I? Once I turn 18 and start working in the factory, will I still lack a partner?"
"That's not what I meant. He Yushui is a high school graduate after all, and she'll be able to make it in the future." Lou Xiao'e wasn't doubting Wang Lin's charm; after all, Wang Lin was the most handsome young man she had ever seen. If she weren't married, she would definitely want to date a younger man.
Xu Damao was displeased. He said to Wang Lin, "Don't listen to your sister-in-law. I think He Yushui is probably just like her stupid brother. Cut ties now while you can."
In the original story, why did He Yushui marry the policeman so early after graduating from high school? It was because she saw through the true nature of the scoundrels in the courtyard.
From childhood to adulthood, whenever He Yuzhu had something good to eat or drink, he would always try to please Qin Huairu's family. Even if there was something to eat waiting for He Yushui to come back, Qin Huairu would find various excuses to come and take it away.
It's fair to say that if it weren't for Wang Lin, that sycophant, He Yushui would have been malnourished in the past two years. Her figure wouldn't have developed so well, and her appearance and demeanor wouldn't have been so energetic and radiant.
As expected, Xu Damao got a little drunk after the meal.
Wang Lin and Lou Xiao'e returned home after escorting Xu Damao back to his house.
As soon as they got back to the room, Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei obediently wiped their faces and hands with towels, preparing to go to sleep.
Wang Lin boiled a kettle of hot water on a small stove to soak his feet. In this weather, you simply can't sleep without soaking your feet; your feet will be so cold that you can't fall asleep.
After soaking his feet in hot water, Wang Lin covered his two younger sisters with blankets before returning to his dark room to sleep.
Wang Lin's room contained nothing but a wooden bed and a quilt; it was so bare that even mice would have to leave in tears.
Lying in bed, Wang Lin tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
At this time of day, people are usually either playing video games or eating various snacks on a bustling street.
"One sheep...a hundred sheep...sheep, sheep..."
For over an hour, Wang Lin couldn't fall asleep while counting sheep.
It was so cold in Beijing at the beginning of winter that the blankets he was wearing were not very useful. Wang Lin would have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to buy two thicker blankets. He was already so cold, let alone the two little dumplings in the next room.
Time ticked by, and Wang Lin figured it must be past midnight by now, so he silently said, "Master! Sign in!"
“叮咚!签到成功!恭喜宿主获得智能大门X1、房间智能升级改造卡X1、锅碗瓢盆套装X1、桌椅板凳沙发套装年代家庭版X1(附带发票,来路可查)、成年男性套装X3、女童套装x9。奖励已发放系统仓库。”
Looking at these things, Wang Lin jumped up as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Pots, pans, and utensils were in dire need, and their arrival was just in time.
Tables, chairs, benches, and sofas are among the most urgently needed furniture items right now. You can get them by signing in, saving you the money to buy them, which is time-consuming and laborious, and you might not even be able to find the color you like.
Smart gates, that's interesting!
The room smart upgrade card! Wang Lin's eyes burned with excitement. He wondered if it was what he was hoping for. If it was, he wouldn't be bored anymore.
With excitement in his heart, Wang Lin drifted off to sleep, since he wasn't in a hurry anyway.
Wang Lin was asleep, but some people in the compound tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
In the side room next to He Yuzhu's, He Yushui tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, her mind filled with Wang Lin! She couldn't understand why Wang Lin had become like this. Did he have a new lover?
He Yuzhu was heartbroken to lose more than two hundred yuan of his secret stash of money. He was also in a bad mood. He thought it would have been so much better if he had given the money to Sister Qin. He could have touched her hand to his heart's content!
In Jia Zhangshi's room, Qin Huairu also couldn't fall asleep for a long time! She was still thinking about how to squeeze money out of Wang Lin to supplement the family income. Her viciousness was truly worthy of being called a bloodsucking white lotus.
Chapter 7 Taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Undergoing a Complete Transformation
"It's so heavy, I can't breathe... Am I experiencing sleep paralysis?"
Wang Lin opened his eyes and reached out to touch the "heavy object" pressing down on him.
"Honey, you're awake!"
Wang Baobao's soft, sweet voice came from the pitch-black environment.
Wang Lin instantly realized what was pressing down on him: his two cuddly "divine beast" sisters.
Wang Lin stroked his two younger sisters' hair and said gently, "Baby, Beibei, wake up. I'll cook you instant noodles."
"Let's eat instant noodles, let's eat instant noodles!"
"I want to eat a big bowl!"
The two cuddly mythical beasts excitedly climbed off the bed, put on their shoes in the dark, and excitedly ran out of Wang Lin's room.
Wang Lin put on his only tattered cotton-padded coat and old cloth shoes and walked out of the room.
There was no clock at home, so he didn't know what time it was. Based on Wang Lin's past experience with his biological clock, it should be around nine o'clock.
The courtyard was unusually quiet today, after all, it was Friday, and the workers were at work and the students were at school.
Wang Lin skillfully lit a fire to start a fire, then set up a pot, added water, and waited for it to boil so he could cook instant noodles for the two mythical beasts.
The pickled cabbage and beef flavor is not spicy, and the pickled cabbage is appetizing, making it quite suitable for children.
After cooking the noodles for the two mythical beasts, Wang Lin slowly opened the door and went out.
Everything outside was white, and the temperature had dropped significantly. Wang Lin muttered, "No wonder it was so cold last night; it's snowing again."
The deaf old woman across the hall had her door locked; she must have gone to the black market early this morning and hadn't returned yet.
Just then, Wang Lin went to the locked back door on the right and smashed the rusty iron chain open with a stone.
The two rooms where Wang Lin and the deaf old woman lived were the back rooms of the courtyard house used by servants during the feudal dynasty, so there was a back door, but it had been locked up for many years because it hadn't been used.
Now, Wang Lin reopened the back door for convenience, so he wouldn't have to worry about those beasts in the front yard choking him.
Outside the back door is a narrow alley, three meters wide, and the street only begins after you exit the alley.
Wang Lin casually tossed aside the rusty chain, opening the large iron gate that had been closed for many years, as if he were also opening the door to a new life for himself.
Wang Baobao stood at the door with a bowl in her hand, slurping noodles while watching Wang Lin unseal the back door.
Seeing her older sister eating at the door, Wang Beibei followed suit and came to the door to eat as well.
Wang Lin dusted off his hands and walked up to the two mythical beasts. Looking at his two younger sisters with their dry, yellow hair and severe malnutrition, he sighed and said, "Your brother used to be a real scoundrel!"
Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei have bright, big eyes, high nose bridges, and delicate features. They will definitely be great beauties when they grow up. One has to admire the good genes of the Wang family.
"Retrieve the room smart upgrade and renovation card," Wang Lin muttered to himself as he stood at the doorway.
A sci-fi card floated in front of Wang Lin, and he continued to silently say, "Use."
"Ding-dong! Room smart upgrade card successfully used! Upgrade time: six hours!"
Next, Wang Lin installed a smart door on his own door.
"Ding-dong! Smart gate installation is in progress! Installation time: 30 minutes!"
Now Wang Lin couldn't get into his room at all, but that was perfect, since he was taking his twin sister out shopping today to experience the atmosphere of this era.
Before leaving, while the two mythical beasts were eating instant noodles outside, Wang Lin took all the furniture, including the sofa, from the system warehouse and arranged it in the living room.
After the two mythical beasts finished their instant noodles, Wang Lin told them to wait outside the door. He then returned to the house, put down his bowl, closed the door, and added two locks.
"Crack!"
Wang Lin felt a little relieved after locking the door, after all, there was a treacherous thief like Bang Geng in the yard.
Wang Lin squatted down and picked up the two skinny mythical beasts, saying, "Come on! Baby, Beibei, I'm taking you out for some fun today!"
First stop: the bathhouse!
Bathhouses in those days also required tickets: three cents for children and five cents for adults. It was said that the bathhouse attendants there had top-notch scrubbing skills.
The aunties and young ladies in the bathhouse adore the adorable mythical creatures Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei. Wang Lin takes his two little sisters to the bathhouse every month, and they've become friends with all the uncles and aunties there. Someone helps him look after the two mythical creatures, so there's nothing to worry about.
There's a nice bathhouse just outside Tongluo Lane.
The name "Old Fang Bathhouse" is very down-to-earth, unlike the domineering names like "Jiangshan" or "Real Madrid" used in later generations.
Carrying two glutinous rice balls with practiced ease, Wang Lin stepped into the bathhouse lobby and called out to a middle-aged woman, "Aunt Fang."
The middle-aged woman, Aunt Fang, whose full name is Li Fang, is the owner of this bathhouse and the second young wife of the owner, Fang Dazheng.
"Oh my! It's our little darling!" Aunt Fang beamed with joy upon seeing Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei.
"Aunt Fang!" The two mythical beasts also called out in a sweet and endearing voice.
"Xiao Lin, you can go and get a scrub without worry. I'll take care of these two adorable girls." Li Fang reached out and took the two glutinous rice ball-shaped creatures into her arms.
Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei suffered from long-term malnutrition and were not very fleshy, so Li Fang could easily hold the two sisters.
After paying 1.1 yuan and three bath tickets, Wang Lin entered the men's bathhouse with practiced ease.
After putting his clothes away in the changing room, Wang Linguo went to the shower area, took a shower, and then went to take a bath.
I must say, the water in this pool is quite clean, and the temperature is just right.
Soaking in the hot water pool, Wang Lin began to relax his entire body and mind.
A middle-aged man passing by saw Wang Lin and greeted him familiarly, "Hey! Little Lin, you're here at the beginning of the month."
Wang Lin opened his eyes and saw the middle-aged man. He smiled and replied, "Master Liu, it's winter now, and it's so cold. Come and take a bath to relax."
Master Liu's full name is Liu Dazhuang. He is a bathhouse attendant at Lao Fang Bathhouse. He is very skilled at scrubbing and massaging. Most importantly, he is very enthusiastic and can chat with anyone he meets. Many people usually come to him for a scrubbing.
"Master Liu, give me a scrub!"
Immediately, an acquaintance from afar requested that Liu Dazhuang give him a bath.
