Chapter 796: You’re quite good at pretending!
The people who came were Widow Sun and Widow Lin.
They knocked on the gate and found that everyone in the yard was busy working. They were all stunned for a moment.
When Mrs. Tang saw them, she guessed why they came and felt a little upset.
But he didn't show it on his face, he just asked, "Why are you here? What's the matter?"
She really was too busy to do any work. It was true that today was a rare good day, but the nights went out early in the Ebony District, and the sun lost its power after two in the afternoon. If she wanted to wash, she had to finish it in the morning while the sun was shining!
So I don't have time to play tricks on them.
Besides, the two of them had already been here yesterday, and everything that needed to be said and known had already been said yesterday.
Widow Lin looked a little embarrassed and said, "We didn't know you were cleaning..."
His voice dropped, his tone extremely downcast: "We haven't had a good New Year's celebration in years."
Then he grabbed Widow Sun's arm and said, "Sister-in-law is busy, let's come back later."
Widow Sun refused to leave: "Have you forgotten that your daughter had a fever again last night?"
As he spoke, he pulled her and walked quickly to Mrs. Tang, pretending to take the rag in Mrs. Tang's hand and help her with the work.
There was no way Mrs. Tang could work for them, so of course she moved aside.
Widow Lin thought of her daughter lying in bed in pain, so she had to speak shamelessly: "Sister-in-law Tang, when can we move to a new house?"
Mrs. Tang was cleaning the windows under the eaves. The windows were originally open, but when she saw the two of them approaching, she closed them.
She subconsciously didn't want these two people to know that Wang Cuilan's two children were with her.
She didn't answer their question, but instead asked, "When do you want to move?"
When the two widows, Lin and Sun, heard this, they thought they could move houses. Widow Sun immediately said, "New Year's Day is coming tomorrow. We can move today!"
When I heard the first half of their sentence, I thought they would say they would move after the New Year.
result……
It seems that he really wants to escape from Yard No. 1.
But Mrs. Tang had to pour cold water on them: "That's definitely impossible. I just submitted the materials last night, and the organization won't be able to arrange it so quickly."
Lin and Sun were obviously very disappointed. Widow Lin looked conflicted for a long time, wanting to say something, but in the end she kept silent.
Widow Sun was anxious. She grabbed Mrs. Tang's arm, her face was extremely pitiful, and she said hurriedly:
"But your man is the chief of the garrison! When you hand in the materials, you're actually handing them over to him!"
"You're married, it would only take a few words for you to speak up for us! As long as your spouse agrees, we can move houses! It's like saving our lives!"
Mrs. Tang originally didn't want to say anything too harsh or harsh because she felt sorry for them, but now she couldn't care less:
"My wife is indeed the chief of the garrison area, but this matter is really not up to anyone. Changing houses is not a trivial matter. We have to wait until the comprehensive plan is out. At that time, we can indeed arrange a house for you in advance according to your special circumstances!"
"But right now, the overall plan for Ebony Town hasn't been released yet, so none of us can make any arrangements."
Widow Sun was obviously very anxious. She even pushed Widow Lin, indicating that they should speak together, as there was strength in numbers.
Widow Lin spoke up: "Isn't this big courtyard next door still empty? We can move here!"
Mrs. Tang was surprised for a moment, then shook her head: "No, these two empty houses have already been arranged."
Widow Lin couldn't help crying:
"We're all so miserable, and there's still an empty house in your yard! In the end, you're just cold-blooded, heartless, and have no empathy. You just don't want to help!"
It is true that Mrs. Tang is soft-hearted and sympathizes with them.
But since she saw the state of the two children who were supposed to be fostered with them yesterday, and how they didn't call the police when the children disappeared, and how their search was only perfunctory and symbolic, her feelings towards these two poor women have become a little complicated.
Being questioned repeatedly like this, even if she had a good temper, she couldn't stand it anymore:
"If you have any difficulties, we certainly want to help, but we are not omnipotent! Some things can be done, and some things cannot be done!"
"Your house isn't broken down or uninhabitable, so why are you so anxious to move now?"
"Don't worry about whether you're scared or not. This is a new society now. There's no such thing as weird, superstitious things!"
"Besides, even if it's true, you are victims of persecution by the Xia family. There are still your men underground. Even if there really are supernatural beings, they won't come looking for you if they come!"
"Everyone, go back. The children are young and don't understand. You adults should teach them and coax them. Live a good life. Tomorrow is the New Year!"
Seeing the two of them come into the yard, Ye Shu and Jin Saozi were originally worried that Tang Dasao was too weak to handle it, so they all wanted to come over to help.
As soon as I walked in, I heard that Mrs. Tang was also angry and had learned to use soft tactics to confront people.
The reason why the two widows Lin and Sun chose Mrs. Tang was mainly because she looked gentle, good-tempered and easy to talk to.
But I didn't expect her to say it so harshly.
The two wanted to refute immediately, but when they thought of their purpose, they held back.
In a blink of an eye, they saw Ye Shu and Mrs. Jin coming over, and they all walked towards Ye Shu, wanting to hold Ye Shu and beg her to help them.
Well, I also noticed that Ye Shu’s appearance looked softer than Mrs. Jin’s. He was the kind of person who looked good-tempered at first glance.
But unfortunately, they were wrong. Mrs. Tang was indeed good-tempered, but Ye Shu was not.
Before they could speak, Ye Shu asked, "I heard that Wang Cuilan's two children from your yard were temporarily entrusted to your care by the neighborhood office. How are they doing now?"
One question hit the mark.
They were both a little stumped for a moment, hesitating for a long time, and finally Widow Sun said, "It's fine. The two children are still young and have big hearts. They eat and then sleep. It's fine."
The surroundings became quiet in an instant.
Even a little girl like Huo Junrou couldn't help but glare at them at this moment.
However, perhaps because they felt guilty, they did not notice that the silence in the air was a little strange.
Afraid that Ye Shu would continue to inquire about the two children, and seeing that Mrs. Tang would not give them a house today, they winked at each other, said hello, wished each other a happy new year in advance, and then left.
When the gate was closed, Mrs. Jin couldn't help but curse, "You're quite good at pretending!"
