Chapter 430: Unfriendly Neighbors
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Okay, okay. Dad, 1 got it. I got it. Don’t worry. I’ll wake up early tomorrow.”
Xu Wenping knew that Xu Huaiyou would definitely continue to lecture him if he continued.
After all, he had just arrived here, so he still needed some time to adapt.
“Dad, are you okay? i want to go downstairs for a walk. I’ve slept for a day and feel a little dizzy. I want to go out and get some fresh air.”
“I told you not to lie down at home every day. Go downstairs and get some exercise. It’s time for dinner later. Don’t let your mother go looking for you again.”
“Alright, I got it. Isn’t it only 5 o’clock? I’ll come over at 6 o’clock later. Dad, I’ll be leaving first.”
After greeting him, Xu Wenping opened the door and left.
He realized that the house he lived in was probably a very dilapidated family building.
Outside, he paced up and down the long corridor.
He walked from one end of the corridor to the other and counted carefully. There were actually 12 households on this floor.
Even this building looked a little dilapidated.
He stood on the pole and looked down. He didn’t expect the environment to be so good.
What was going on? Why was the renovation so good under such an old building? Moreover, this was completely incompatible.
No, he had to go down and study it to see what was going on.
So Xu Wenping hurried downstairs.
He should be living on the fourth floor, which was also the top floor of this building.
After coming down, he really felt that the greenery here was obviously a little different.
He looked to the side and saw that there were tall buildings all around. Moreover, it looked like a very high-end residential building.
His building was already tightly surrounded.
What was going on? If they were going to build it, shouldn’t they build it all at once? Why did it have to be this building?
“Get up, get up. What are you doing here?”
At this moment, he saw an old woman walking over.
She had white hair, but she had a good temperament.
She was holding a pure-white puppy in her hand.
From the looks of it, she was walking her dog.
However, the way she spoke to him felt very familiar.
Xu Wenping looked up at him.
“What? You don’t understand what I said? Poor brat, step back.”
“Poor brat?”
That’s right, Xu Wenping understood very well that this person indeed called him that.
He remembered that in his previous life, he had a neighbor who was dissatisfied with him.
It was as if the other party was a noble and he was just a lowly person.
Xu Wenping gritted his teeth.
He really wanted to walk up to her, grab her hair, and stomp on the ground.
He knew that this day wouldn’t be too long, so Xu Wenping had to continue to endure.
“Hehe, okay, okay, I got it. Can’t i just make way for you?”
“Tsk, you’re really ungrateful. If it weren’t for you guys delaying us here, would we have to ruin the scenery in this neighborhood? What an ungrateful pauper.”
She used the word ‘ungrateful’ twice.
However, even Xu Wenping himself had not reacted to these things.
He didn’t know why this building was standing here alone.
At this moment, Xu Wenping discovered that there was a very quiet small square over there.
There was some entertainment and fitness equipment in the square.
However, because it was not time to get off work, there were not many people upstairs at this time.
He only saw a little girl sitting there with a book in her hand and reading it very seriously.
Xu Wenping quietly walked forward and sized her up.
He realized that the little girl’s family background was probably very good, whether it was in terms of her dress or temperament.
“What’s wrong? Have you read this book before?”
At this moment, the girl seemed to have sensed that there was someone standing behind her, so she turned around curiously and asked Xu Wenping.
“Hehe, nothing. I just wanted to take a look. What book are you reading?”
“Oh, this is an extra-cursory reading book recommended by our teacher. Take a look. It’s quite interesting.”
Then, Xu Wenping took it and glanced at it for a moment before putting the book back into her hands.
“I saw your mother go out just now. What’s wrong? Did you sleep at home for the whole day again?”
Judging from her tone, she probably knew him.
“I’ll read your book later.”
Xu Wenping seemed to have suddenly thought of something and hurriedly took the book.
He flipped to the first page, and there was a name written on it – Manman.
In fact, Xu Wenping just wanted to know the girl’s name through this book.
Otherwise, he didn’t know how to communicate.
“Manman, school ended quite early today.”
“Brother Ping, are you sleepy? It’s the weekend. Why should I go to school?”
It was a little awkward. He had thought that he could start a conversation, but he did not expect that he would ignore the weekend.
“Look at my brain. I really have a bad memory. Oh right, Manman, whose dog is that at your door?”
“Big dog? Is there a dog in front of my house?”
As she spoke, he saw her slowly stand up and look at a building in front of them.
Xu Wenping understood that she was indeed different from him. She didn’t live in the slums at all, but lived in the high-end residential building. It seemed that his guess was right. Manman’s family situation should be very good.
“No? It’s really strange. 1 clearly saw it when I came over just now.”
“Brother Ping, you’re talking about Grandma Zhao’s puppy, right? I saw Grandma Zhao holding her hand and going out just now.”
“Grandma Zhao?”
Xu Wenping seemed to have understood. The Grandma Zhao she was talking about should be the vicious woman who looked down on him just now.
“I didn’t expect you to respect her.”
“You know that’s her personality. Besides, her son is so powerful. As a mother, she can’t be too bad. However, you have to understand that this is a problem left over from history. In the end, you didn’t spend less money. I reckon that Grandma Zhao’s hatred for you probably stems from this matter. You should understand..”
