Chapter 992: Who Is So Wealthy and Generous as to Rent It All?

Xiao Fu saw him arriving at this moment: "Fu Yan Cheng is here. We were just about to start dinner; hurry up, wash your hands, and sit down to eat with us."

Having finished speaking, he turned to Chunxiao and said: "Bring another set of bowls and chopsticks."

Liu Chuxue had just come out of Dujiao's room: "Why have you come over?"

Fu Yan Cheng was about to say something when he heard Xiao Fu say: "Whatever it is, we can talk after eating."

Xiao Mu also warmly invited: "Yes, yes, yes. Whatever it is, we can talk after eating."

The family still had the mutton Liu Chuxue had brought back. When Xiao Fu arrived home in the afternoon, Xiao Mu had specifically asked her to chop it into filling. Tonight they were eating mutton dumplings. In the heated greenhouse in the backyard, there were leafy greens, so they picked some and made a cold salad.

Nowadays, a meal like this was rare, so there was no need to prepare a separate meal for Fu Yan Cheng.

Originally, they had wrapped a few extra, planning to freeze them outside in case Xiao Fu returned late, so they could make sour soup dumplings for him then. With Fu Yan Cheng's addition, they ate everything clean.

After dinner, Chunxiao voluntarily took on the task of washing the dishes.

It wasn't that she was particularly diligent; rather, since no one in the family was paying attention to her, she felt a bit uneasy in her heart and had to change her behavior.

Fu Yan Cheng looked at Liu Chuxue: "I have something to ask you."

Liu Chuxue pointed to the living room: "Let's go, let's talk inside."

Seeing them enter the living room, Xiao Mu went straight to Dujiao's room: "How is it? Are you feeling better?"

Seeing that some of the dumplings Liu Chuxue had brought over earlier were still left: "Why are there leftovers?"

Dujiao, holding an IV bottle filled with hot water, said: "Auntie, I'm fine, don't worry. The dumplings on the plate are clean; I separated them before eating. I can't eat that much."

She glanced out the window: "Earlier, why did I think I heard my cousin-in-law's voice?"

Xiao Mu smiled and glanced outside: "You didn't hear wrong; that was your cousin-in-law's voice."

Dujiao suddenly laughed: "My cousin-in-law is truly good to my cousin. It's only been such a short time since they separated, and now he's come over again."

Her eyes were full of envy.

Xiao Mu patted Dujiao's hand: "Rest assured, I have already asked someone to find a match for you. When the time comes, we will definitely find a good one for our Dujiao."

Hearing these words, Dujiao's face turned red with shame: "Auntie, I haven't thought about finding a partner this early."

Xiao Mu, however, smiled and said: "Then let's take our time looking."

Xiao Fu did not enter the living room, nor did he stay in the kitchen; instead, he was in the yard polishing the bicycle.

Chunxiao came out to pour out the slop water: "Dad, it's pitch black and freezing cold outside. What are you doing polishing the bike? Don't you feel the cold?"

Xiao Fu didn't answer him but glanced toward the living room.

Meanwhile, the two people in the living room had already been talking for quite a while: "By the way, didn't you say you came over with something to tell me?"

Fu Yan Cheng glanced outside the yard before lowering his voice: "I found a tenant for your house."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue happily asked: "How many rooms did you rent out?"

Seeing that she misunderstood, Fu Yan Cheng quickly said: "It's not renting out room by room; the entire courtyard is being rented out as a whole."

Shock flashed across Liu Chuxue's face: "Who is so wealthy and generous as to rent it all?"

Fu Yan Cheng knew she would have that expression. Fearing the others in the family might overhear, he specifically stood up and looked outside again. Seeing only Xiao Fu polishing the bike by the yard wall, he said: "The local street office is preparing to rent the first and second courtyards. Two other offices stationed in Beijing are also seeking a change of location through the street office's mediation. Now that the problems are all resolved, this deal should be certain. The agreement will likely be finalized when they return to work on the sixth day of the lunar month."

Joy filled Liu Chuxue's face: "If this can really be settled, that would be wonderful. Public institutions certainly won't make unauthorized additions or modifications. This is truly good for you, good for me, and good for everyone."
