Chapter 789 Wishful Thinking (23)

On the phone, Zhang Tan learned from Xier that after they returned to their hometown, they had been living in a hotel because their own home was broken.

Xier didn't know more information because she was still a silly child. She even thought that living in a hotel was good and beautiful here.

Tan Jiner went out. Xier didn't know why she went there. Zhang Tan was a little worried that Xier was alone in the hotel, so he kept chatting with Xier on the phone until Tan Jiner opened the door and came back soon.

The phone call became Zhang Tan and Tan Jiner chatting. Xier stood aside and listened. She was soon sent away by her sister, saying that she was going to eat grapes.

Well, Xier went to eat grapes happily.

Zhang Tan asked Tan Jiner what happened at home. Tan Jiner didn't plan to say it at first, and tried to change the subject. After failing to change the subject, she wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter, but in the end she had to tell the truth that her old house was occupied.

The old house of the Tan family was a very old mansion with a patio and turtles for ventilation, lighting and rainwater storage. When the weather is fine, a beam of sunlight shines in from the patio, illuminating the house; when it rains, rainwater flows down the eaves to the patio, and the raindrops are strung into lines, dripping. The patio will soon be flooded, and the rainwater flows into the nearby pond along the underground pipes.

Two families live in this big house, one family lives on one side, with the patio as the boundary. One family is the former Tan Jiner family, and the other is a neighbor.

Tan Jiner had prepared gifts for many people in her hometown in Pujiang before, including a pair of warm shoes for her uncle from the same clan. This uncle had helped Tan Jiner before, and when Tan Jiner's father passed away, it was he who took the lead.

The uncle from the same clan who lived in the same big house with her family was this uncle from the same clan.

Tan Jiner and Xier had not been home for several years. When they returned home this time, they learned that their uncle had passed away in March last year. Her shoes could not be given away.

The two sons of my uncle are now the housekeepers. The eldest son has married and started a family. It is a bit crowded and inconvenient to live with the youngest son in the old house. For many years, seeing that there was no one in Tan Jiner's family, they first put some things here and there, and then put more and more, and gradually occupied her house.

Because of the long-term storage of some sundries, and the long-term disrepair of the eaves, which caused some places to leak, Tan Jiner's house was dilapidated and could no longer be lived in.

When Tan Jiner returned home and saw this, she endured the grief and went to the neighbor's house. The other party said that they could move all the things away, but it would take time. They couldn't do this during the New Year. In addition, even if the things were moved, this house would not be habitable for a while and needed a major overhaul. Tan Jiner had no choice but to take Xier to live in a hotel in the town.

Zhang Tan felt sad for Tan Jiner and was indignant at the same time. He wanted to slap the boy twice.

Tan Jiner's home was in Xinzhou, Gan, thousands of miles away from Sichuan. Zhang Tan could only give her some advice. She couldn't solve this problem by herself. She was insignificant and needed help.

Tan Jin'er was originally a girl who looked weak. She was young and worked outside all year round. She only had 4-year-old Xi'er by her side. She was too weak.

Zhang Tan told her that if there were any relatives in the village, she should ask them to help her and ask them to come to the village to reason. If there were no relatives in the village, she should go to the village chief's house and ask the village chief to judge.

Tan Jin'er said on the phone that her family only had an aunt in the village, but the aunt was old and had difficulty walking. The aunt had two daughters and a son. The daughters were married, but the son was in the village and had started a family.

Zhang Tan said, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, which happens to be the day to pay New Year's greetings to the neighbors in the village. Go to your aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings first and tell them about it. Then go to the village chief's house to pay New Year's greetings. Talk about this matter. Your hometown has been occupied. You can only stay in a hotel with your young sister. As the village chief, you can't ignore this matter. Then ask them to go back to your hometown with you to reason. By the way, take photos of the situation in your hometown and leave them. When the village chief and aunt ask about it, show them."

Hiahia's laughter sounded outside the phone. Xier was watching TV with a silly smile on her face.

Tan Jiner said she knew, thank you Boss Zhang.

Zhang Tan was worried and told him, "Did you remember it?"

"I remembered it."

"Don't be embarrassed. They bullied you first. You have been very polite. If you don't fight back, you will be bullied to the end."

"Yes, I will prepare gifts and go to the village chief's house."

Zhang Tan was about to hang up the phone, but suddenly thought of Xier and asked, "Is the hotel far from the village?"

Tan Jiner said, "Not far, 15 minutes walk."

"Are you taking Xier with you?"

Tan Jiner looked at Xier, thought about it and said she didn't want to take her, and tried not to let Xier get involved in these things.

Zhang Tan said that this was good. He was a little worried that Xier would stay in the hotel alone, but he didn't say it. What's the use of saying it? He couldn't help, and it would only increase Tan Jiner's worries and troubles.

At night, Zhang Tan called again and asked how things were going.

Xier answered the phone. Seeing that it was Zhang Tan, hiahia smiled and said, "Boss Zhang, why are you looking for my sister again? Do you like her, hiahiahia~~~"

Zhang Tan: "..."

This time, the little kid was laughing so hard on the other end of the phone. Well, she always laughs so hard.

"What's the voice of Xier?"

Xiaobai came over when she heard the noise. Zhang Tan handed her the phone and said it was Xier's call.

Xier's phone was also confiscated by Tan Jiner. She appeared in the camera and saw that it was Xiaobai. She thought she had misunderstood Xier. It turned out that Xier was chatting with Xiaobai, so she returned the phone to Xier.

Xier said on the phone that it was not fun at home and she wanted to go and play with Xiaobai.

It must not be fun. She was locked up in the hotel all day and rarely went out. In the afternoon, Tan Jiner went out without her. She was sulking about it and had a cold war with her sister for a while. In the end, she was defeated by her sister and said she was hungry. She quickly put aside her unhappiness and ran over to give her candied fruit.

Xiaobai and Xier chatted for a while, and the phone finally fell into the hands of the two adults. Zhang sighed and asked Tan Jiner how the matter was handled.

Tan Jiner's face was flushed, hesitant, and said that she had asked her aunt's cousin to come forward and also asked the village chief. The other party promised to move the things, but it would be after the New Year.

After the New Year, Tan Jiner returned to Pujiang. Whether to move or not was not entirely up to the other party! It would be strange if it could move.

"And..." Tan Jin'er hesitated.

"And what?" Zhang Tan asked.

Tan Jin'er hesitated and refused to say.

At this time, Xi'er popped up from behind her, and said with a stern face that someone wanted to marry her sister, and she didn't agree!

"Hey, Xi'er, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Tan Jin'er pushed Xi'er's little head back.

Zhang Tan: "Don't push Xi'er away, let Xi'er speak, Xi'er! Xi'er——"

Xiaobai also shouted: "Xi baby——Come on~"

Xi'er jumped and popped up her little head again, hiahia smiled and said: "I'm here again."

Then she asked her sister: "Sister Zhang Boss and Xiaobai asked me to speak, I can speak better than you, hiahia~~"

Tan Jin'er didn't let Xi'er speak, because Xi'er knew little and liked to babble, so she could only talk nonsense.

She hesitated for a while, and finally told Zhang Tan.

The two sons of my uncle from the same clan, the eldest son is married, the younger son has reached the marriageable age, but has not yet married. This time, Tan Jiner came back and became a beautiful lady, with a transformed appearance and temperament. The younger son fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. He also said that if she married her, the two families would not have to be separated, and there would be no problems of moving things.

This afternoon, after Tan Jiner returned to the hotel, the other party followed and brought a lot of things. Xier learned some of it because of this.

Zhang Tan blurted out: "This family is so beautiful!"
