Chapter 119 Moving
Xi Yu thought about closing the shop for a while and making plans after the storm had passed. She also needed to move as soon as possible.
Two days later, Xi Yu, carrying a bewildered Xi Hua's bundle, moved to the new house. Apart from her clothes, Xi Yu didn't take any of the furniture or other items from the old house.
"This... Xiaoyu, what are we doing? Whose house is this?" Xi Hua asked, looking uneasy.
"Mom, sit down first." Xi Yu pulled her to sit on the sofa and subtly signaled to the black dog to come up and talk to her.
Black Dog had no choice but to bite the bullet and greet her with a smile, "Sister Xi, this is my house. You two will have to make do with staying here for now."
"What's going on here?" Xi Hua was slightly relieved when she heard that this was the black dog's house.
"Didn't someone cause trouble at our store a few days ago? The matter of that mutated orchid has caused too much of a stir in the capital. We'd better close the store and lay low for a while," the black dog said seriously.
"Besides, Sister Xi, you've taken care of Lan Hua for a while now. Others won't care what you say; they'll just try their best to get useful information from you! They might even put you in danger! So you'd better stay here for now. Don't worry, only you have the key to this house!"
Black Dog tried his best to persuade him; if it weren't for his fierce appearance and the scars on his face, his sincere attitude would have made him a suitable salesman.
Xi Hua exclaimed in surprise, pressing her hand to her chest and blaming herself, "It's all my fault, how could I have produced a mutated flower seed out of nowhere..."
"Mom, this isn't your fault, don't blame yourself." Xi Yu sighed inwardly. If anyone's to blame, it's herself for meddling! Why was she so impulsive back then?
"Yes, Sister Xi, just think of it as a perk I give to my employees! Fatty and the others all got one!" Black Dog lied without batting an eye.
After much persuasion from Hei Quan and Xi Yu, Xi Hua finally agreed to move in temporarily.
Xi Yu secretly gave the black dog an approving look.
This reason might not be very effective for others, but it was very useful for Xi Hua! Xi Hua's personality is inclined to be trusting, and with her own daughter's life threatened, she, as a mother, would compromise no matter what.
Moreover, everything is difficult at the beginning. Once Xi Hua is willing to move in, it will be much easier to find reasons to keep her living there.
While Xi Hua was touring the house, Xi Yu nodded to the black dog: "Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, you, Fatty, and Crazy will wait for me at my hometown."
The black dog was taken aback and wanted to ask why, but Xi Yu had already gone to accompany Xi Hua to look at houses.
The next morning, the three men, including the black dog, went to the fat man's old home as instructed.
The fat man yawned repeatedly; getting up early was too painful for him, a tech geek who stayed up late every night.
"too slow."
As soon as the black dog opened the door, Xi Yu, who had been waiting for a long time, was sitting inside.
Black Dog glanced at the time; it was already a minute past seven, as it had taken quite a while to wake the fat man who was still in bed.
"If you're a minute late, then go out and run for an hour before coming back," Xi Yu said calmly.
None of the three of them reacted. After Xi Yu repeated it unhappily, the black dog, full of doubt, pulled the fat man and ran around the house and the forest. The madman didn't need to be urged; he could do it on his own.
The fat man's hometown was located halfway up the mountain, surrounded by undeveloped forests.
This place used to be a village, but after the villagers moved to the town one after another, the place gradually fell into disrepair. Only Fatty's old house is still being maintained by them.
