"I want to clean up the east room and move in.”
Li Weidong didn't beat around the bush and said it directly.
"Is it because Xiao Bin doesn't sleep well? I asked him to sleep in the room with your grandmother and Xiaoru.”Zhang Xiuzhen did not hesitate.
Previously, Li Weibin had told her that the bed was too narrow and uncomfortable to sleep on. She was thinking of finding a plank to widen it in the next two days.
Unexpectedly, Li Weidong directly proposed to move out today.
How could this be?
It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with the dilapidated east room, but as the old saying went, if you had money, you wouldn't live in the east room. It wouldn't be warm in winter or cold in summer.
In most Siheyuan, the east room was usually used as a kitchen or a storage room.
Unless they had no other choice, no one was willing to stay in the east wing.
If Zhang Xiuzhen was Li Weidong's biological mother, it would be fine, but she was Li Weidong's stepmother.
As a result, she became more sensitive and cared more about what others thought.
The husband's second son had just come from the countryside for a few days, and he was already chased to live in the east room?
What was this?
Even if Li Weidong suggested it himself, it would not work.
"Don't. Xiao Bin and Xiao Ru are already old. It's not good to sleep on the same bed.”
Li Weidong also knew that the reason he came up with was not valid.
In the countryside, let alone teenagers, there were many people who slept on the same bed as their parents.
There were five or six children in a family. How could each of them sleep in a room and on a bed?
"There's nothing bad about it. I'll go pack it up later.”Zhang Xiuzhen said stiffly.
Li Weidong wanted to move to the east room?
No!
"Auntie, I'm really not used to it. In the countryside, I just sleep in my own room. There was nothing bad about the east room. He would find a few masters to tidy it up from the inside out so that it would be as good as new.”
As Li Weidong spoke, he turned his pleading gaze to his grandmother, who was watching the show.
Originally, he thought that this was a very simple matter. He did not expect Zhang Xiuzhen to reject him so firmly.
"Xiuzhen, why don't we just let Dongzi do as he says and let him move in?”
The old lady couldn't resist Li Weidong's pleading gaze.
Logically speaking, she was born into a wealthy family in her early years and would pay more attention to rules. However, on the contrary, the old lady did not care about these things at all.
If it weren't for Li Weidong, she wouldn't have moved to the city.
Now that Li Weidong wanted to move out and live in his own house, she naturally had no reason to stop him.
After all, his grandson had grown up and had his own ideas.
"Mother, it's not like there's no place in the north room. What's the point of moving to the east room? Wouldn't the people in the hospital think that I can't tolerate Weidong?”Zhang Xiuzhen smiled bitterly.
"Mother knows that you are not that kind of person. Moreover, there are not just one or two families living in the east room in the courtyard. There is no need to care about these things. When the time came, he would get a bigger stove for Dongzi. He would burn the honeycomb briquettes in the winter so that he wouldn't freeze.”
Old Mrs. Han was still biased.
There was a fixed amount of honeycomb briquettes, so how could he burn them?
"Auntie, I think Xiao Bin's personality is a little weak. As a boy, this won't do in the future. You have to let him learn to be independent early. When I was in the countryside, I lived alone when I was very young.”
Li Weidong pulled Li Weibin out.
He was clearly telling Zhang Xiuzhen that she wanted her face or her son?
In fact, a part of one's personality was innate. The environment one was in during childhood was also closely related to one's education.
However, it would be a little ridiculous to say that sleeping alone meant that one's personality was independent.
But at this moment, Zhang Xiuzhen's heart was in a mess.
She was also anxious about her son's weak personality, but it was useless to say it. She could only comfort herself that it would be better if she grew up.
Now, there was Li Weidong's example.
Should I…try?
"Then when the east room is cleaned up, let Xiao Bin stay there.”
Zhang Xiuzhen's words almost made Li Weidong's heart ache.
After laying so much foundation for their relationship, Li Weibin, this stinky brat, had finally benefited?
"Puchi!"
Yang Fangfang, who was watching the show, laughed out loud.
She could understand Li Weidong. After all, many people in the countryside got married and even had children at the age of eighteen.
Li Weidong seemed to only live in the same room as Li Weibin, but if there was any movement at night, Grandma and Li Xueru, who lived in the inner room, could hear it clearly.
In addition, Li Weidong was used to living alone.
It was not difficult to understand his eagerness at the moment.
However, her mother-in-law fell into a dilemma again. In the end, she simply threw her biological son out.
If that was the case, Li Weidong would be wasting his efforts.
However, she was still quite happy to see her second uncle's deflated appearance.
"Auntie, there has to be a process for independence. You can't throw it away all at once.”Li Weidong said bitterly.
"But…"
"Alright, Xiaobin's mom, let Dongzi live there. Xiaobin, wait for two years.”The old lady decided.
"Then I'll get someone to clean it up properly in the next two days.”
Although Zhang Xiuzhen was still unwilling, she had to listen to her mother-in-law.
In his heart, he was already calculating how much money he would need.
If it was Li Weibin, he would only need to clean up a little. However, if it was Li Weidong, the treatment would be different.
It wasn't that she didn't feel sorry for her own son, but that no one would say anything bad about her own mother when her own son fell and fell.
However, it was different for a stepson.
The same thing, the same sincerity, if looked at separately, it would result in two different outcomes.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that with his current family background, he was a little tight.
After all, it seemed like they were just cleaning up the house and renovating it, but the broken tiles had to be replaced, right?
The floor had to be repaved, and the windows had to be replaced.
Other than that, there had to be furniture inside. There had to be a bed, a cabinet, and even a sofa.
There was no need for pots and pans. Everyone was eating together.
However, he had to prepare a separate washbasin and a thermos.
Finally, there was the honeycomb stove.
After calculating it bit by bit, the number increased.
Zhang Xiuzhen only wanted to treat Li Weidong well, and she even unconsciously arranged the wedding according to the posture of getting married in the future.
"I'll go to my eldest brother's house tomorrow and borrow some from him first.”
Zhang Xiuzhen had already made up her mind to borrow the power of her maiden family.
To be honest, as a stepmother, no one would be able to find any fault with her.
If he was still not satisfied, then he was greedy.
It was precisely because of her usual behavior that the old lady had always been satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
Even when she came to her son's house, she never pointed fingers at him. Other than the occasional incident involving Li Weidong, Zhang Xiuzhen was in charge of all the family matters.
"Xiaobin's mom, Dongzi's grandpa left some money. Although it's not much, it should be enough to clean up Dongzi's house.”the old lady said.
"Mother, keep the money for yourself. There is still money at home.”
Zhang Xiuzhen shook her head without hesitation.
Seeing that the two of them were about to argue, Li Weidong had no choice but to step forward.
