✔️ After the Eldest Sister Awakens [90's]

Chapter 21-25

　　Chapter 021

　　As soon as the bell rang on Friday, Yuan Tang ran out of the classroom quickly, ran to the rented house, picked up the prepared package and went to the trade park.

　　She ran so fast that the landlady heard the noise and rushed out, only seeing her back. She was so angry that she stomped her feet.

　　"Is the house on fire? Run so fast!"

　　Her daughter-in-law was coaxing the child in the inner room. When she heard the noise, she pulled aside the curtain and asked, "Mom, what's that noise outside?"

　　Ever since they rented out the second room, their family had to sleep in one small room, which was so small that they could only pull a curtain in the middle to separate it. The old lady slept on a small couch, while the couple and their child slept inside.

　　The daughter-in-law was reluctant at first, as she thought it was inconvenient to sleep in the same room with the old lady. However, when the old lady heard the rent of eight dollars, she was dazzled and made the decision without consulting anyone.

　　The daughter-in-law was originally worried, fearing that a single man would move in. Her husband had to go to work during the day, so if a man really moved in, how would she go out?

　　Fortunately, it was Yuan Tang who moved in in the end.

　　The old lady came into the house and replied unhappily, "No noise, just the little girl next door coming back to get something."

　　She sat on the small couch with a grim look on her face.

　　Her daughter-in-law didn't understand, but she didn't dare to ask. She just wondered how the girl next door offended her mother-in-law. It shouldn't be like this. Yuan Tang was really impeccable as a tenant.

　　She is not at home during the day, and only comes back in the morning, afternoon and evening. After coming back, she does not stay outside much, but only does things in the house and leaves at a certain time. She does not make noise or talk at night.

　　In the past few months, they haven't even met Yuan Tang a few times. This girl always goes out early and comes back late. Even when she comes back, she moves very quietly, as if this person doesn't exist.

　　The daughter-in-law coaxed the child, but she had no idea what her mother-in-law was so angry about. She wished that the tenant would keep the house forever. Eight dollars a month was like free money.

　　There is only one laborer in the family, and the monthly salary is just that little. If it weren't for the eight yuan, life would be fine, but it would be very tight. Not to mention other things, a can of milk powder for the child every month costs six yuan. If we rely on the family salary, we definitely can't afford milk powder.

　　The old lady sat there sulking for a while, feeling annoyed that she couldn't catch the girl.

　　She hammered the bed and angrily asked her daughter-in-law, "What time did you see her come back last night?"

　　The daughter-in-law uttered an "ah" and realized that her mother-in-law was asking about Yuan Tang next door. She thought for a moment and answered, "It's almost ten o'clock. What's wrong, Mom?"

　　The old lady waved her hand and sat there thinking for a while before she decided to talk to her daughter-in-law first: "I heard from the neighbors that this girl is selling food at the school gate."

　　The daughter-in-law nodded in confusion. Yes, Yuantang had said when she moved in that she wanted to use the stove, and had borrowed their pot for a few days, saying she would use it temporarily. Later, when she returned the pot, Yuantang also gave her two small bowls of mashed potatoes.
