Zhuang Nainai had no idea of what had happened in the office.
She was, at the present moment, in the house that she and her mother stayed in in Xibali Village.
Lin Xi'er was home, too. Dissatisfied with her work, she had resigned from her previous job and was now looking for her next one.
She tidied up the room together with Zhuang Nainai, which was dusty due to a lack of occupants.
As she wiped the table, Zhuang Nainai began to speak. "I'm afraid I'll have to entrust you with my belongings for the upcoming period of time. I'm not sure when I'll be able to get back from my trip, and this house…"
Lifting her head to look around the house that she had spent over 10 years living in, she suddenly felt a wave of reluctance to let it go. Yet she continued, "I can't afford the rent any longer, so when I'm gone, feel free to rent it out to other people."
