Chapter 431: Complicated Neighborhood Relationship
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Manman’s words made Xu Wenping understand why this building had always existed alone.
It was because of some historical reasons that the old lady hated him so much.
He still remembered that in his previous life, there was once a neighbor who hated him very much. However, the reason at that time had nothing to do with this matter.
“Manman, you didn’t go to school today, right? You didn’t go out with your mother either?”
At this moment, that familiar voice sounded again.
Xu Wenping hurriedly turned around to take a look. That’s right, it was Grandma Zhao. She was leading the white dog and coming over from that direction.
“Hello, Grandma Zhao.”
“Sigh, Manman, 1 should say that our Manman is still polite, unlike some people who were born in the slums and have the same thoughts as the slums.”
Xu Wenping knew that there was a hidden meaning in her words. She was pointing at the mulberry tree and cursing the locust tree. Moreover, it was obvious that it was completely targeted at him.
However, he didn’t have much to say at this moment because he understood one thing. Now was not the time for him to truly stand up.
“Grandma Zhao, don’t say that. Actually, every family has their own difficulties.”
“1 don’t know. Look at our Manman. She knows everything. It’s right for Grandma to dote on you. Oh right, the durian my son gave me last time is still in the fridge. Grandma Zhao is waiting for you to come. We can open it and eat together.”
“Hehe, Grandma Zhao, if you want to eat, you can eat first.”
“How can 1 do that? My son specially flew such a good durian over from Thailand for me. It’s really delicious. Why don’t you go to Grandma’s house tonight and open it for us to eat together?”
“That’s great, Grandma Zhao. Now that you mention it, I can feel my saliva dripping down. Ah, right, Brother Ping, 1 remember that you like durians too. Do you want to join us?”
Although Manman could see that Grandma Zhao had a lot of opinions about Xu Wenping, she also wanted to do her best to be a good person. Then, at least, matchmaking them would reduce their conflict.
“Manman, if you want to eat, Grandma Zhao will welcome you with both hands. However, if you bring some unrelated people over, I’m afraid Grandma Zhao won’t be so happy.”
“Manman, go eat. 1 still have something to do tonight.”
“Oh, alright then. Grandma Zhao, it’s settled then.”
“Sigh, good Manman, it’s settled then. After dinner, Grandma will wait for you at home. I won’t be going anywhere.”
After saying that, Grandma Zhao left.
He clearly saw her enter the door of the unit next door.
This old lady and Manman lived in the same building, or even in the same unit.
Xu Wenping didn’t know what kind of relationship the two had, but according to Manman’s family background, she probably had a prominent background.
Xu Wenping only smiled disdainfully. He knew that all the humiliation was only temporary because one day, he would grow up and become stronger. Moreover, he would kill everyone here in an instant.
“Manman, 1 think you and this Grandma Zhao are really close.”
“It’s alright. Besides, didn’t you already know about these things before? Why are you acting so strange today? Why are you always asking questions that you already know?”
“It’s nothing. 1 was just chatting with you casually. Oh, right, Manman, 1 have to go to work tomorrow. I guess I can only see you on the weekends in the future.”
“What job? Have you found a job? Where is it? Previously, my dad said that he would introduce you to a job. Why didn’t you go?”
“Oh, my dad found me a job at a magazine agency. It’s relatively stable. Although I don’t earn much, at least I can keep my income. I don’t have to stay at home all day.”
“Oh, the magazine agency. Alright then. Just like you said, it’s much better than staying at home. Alright, then 1 wish you all the best tomorrow. If there’s anything else, we’ll contact each other at any time.”
“Alright, Manman, that’s enough. It’s getting late. You should hurry up and go back for dinner. We’ll meet again here when we have time later.”
“Alright, I understand. Goodbye, Brother Ping.”
Manman turned around and gave him a smile. Then, she waved her hand and quickly disappeared from here.
Looking at Manman’s figure, he only shook his head helplessly. He really didn’t know that a university student like him actually made friends with a girl who was in elementary school?
Perhaps their relationship was relatively good before, or else everyone here looked down on them. Only Manman could truly integrate with them.
In the end, Xu Wenping walked around the neighborhood again to familiarize himself with the environment.
This place had a total of three sides, east, west, and south. There were entrances and exits to the neighborhood.
On the other side, behind their building, there was a huge wall.
He was not sure what the reason was. Perhaps after the building was demolished, a hole could be officially opened in this place. Moreover, if he passed through this place, it would be a very prosperous street. It seemed that he should gradually understand the key point of the grudge between them.
What surprised Xu Wenping was that this time, the system did not allow him to attach all the memories to his body along with his reincarnation.
Xu Wenping remembered that when he was reincarnated in his previous life, he knew a lot of things. However, now, he felt that he knew too little.
Forget it. There was still time to slowly understand all of this. It was just that he did not know when this boring job would truly end.
Xu Wenping returned home once again. When he pushed open the door, he immediately smelled a very strong fragrance.
It was probably the smell of the rice cooked by the kitchen.
This was how a small house was like. Moreover, as long as the kitchen was cooking, the entire room would be filled with this smell. He could not tell if it was a kind of happiness or a kind of sadness.
“You’re back. Hurry up and wash your hands. Your mom bought you your favorite sauce duck today. Did you see it?”
“Sauce duck?”
