Chapter 240 – Buying an apartment for Tang Jin! (1/2)

Afternoon. Hui Tian Village.

Outside of Luan’s family house.

Qin Yong called Dong Xuebing on his mobile phone, and the first thing Dong Xuebing heard when he answered was laughter.

Dong Xuebing asked. “Chief Qin, can you say something?”

“Brother Dong, you can’t even stop when you are injured? I heard about what happened earlier.”

“I also wanted to rest at home, but this matter involves my Sister, and I can’t pretend to see it.

“Don’t worry about this. I had instructed the officers in the station to teach them a lesson. Just recuperate at home, and don’t get angry over these people. Everyone in the Bureau is waiting for you to return. Haha.”

“Thank you for missing me. I should be back at work in another ten days.”

“Alright. Take care of yourself and don’t be rash.”

Qin Yong is in charge of Wu Tian Village Station, and his officers had told him about the incident. He was shocked to learn Dong Xuebing can even fight with both arms bandaged and did not act like a patient. Qin Yong laughed and shook his head when he thought about Lu Dafa. Why do you have to offend Dong Xuebing for no reason? You got nothing better to do?!

Yu Meixia hanged up the phone and asked. “Are you ok?”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “I am fine. Help me inside.”

Yu Meixia nodded and helped Dong Xuebing towards the house.

Dong Xuebing’s Uncle, Second Aunt, and her family are in the house, and Tang Jin had returned with Dong Xuebing. Her parents are examining the wound on her head, but Tang Jin does not care about that. She was shouting excitedly. “You all did not see what Brother did. He shouted at that boss. ‘Who is the one that hit my sister?!’ But that boss did not reply to him. Guess what Brother did. He walked up and kicked him! Crash…. The glass display shelves shattered.”

Dong Xuebing’s Second Aunt gave Tang Jin a stare. “Idiot! You had caused trouble for your brother!”

Dong Xuebing’s Second Aunt’s husband saw Dong Xuebing walking in and asked. “Xiao Bing, are you hurt?”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “I am fine. Those two can’t hurt me.”

Tang Jin added excitedly. “That’s right! My brother is the best!”

Dong Xuebing’s Second Aunt sighed. “Xiao Bing, you had spoiled this brat, and had offended a leader.”

Tang Jin remembered that cigarette shop’s boss has a strong backing. But Dong Xuebing did not care about him and even arrested both the boss and his young employee. Tang Jin is very grateful to Dong Xuebing. “Thank you!”

Dong Xuebing waved his hand. “It’s a small matter. Eh? Where is Liu Li?”

The second Aunt looked at Tang Jin, puzzled. “Who is Liu Li?”

Tang Jin blushed. “My boyfriend.”

Dong Xuebing’s Second Aunt’s husband frowned. “When did you have a boyfriend? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Tang Jin replied. “You did not ask. Mum, Dad, Liu Li, is in the car outside. Can I bring him in?”

Dong Xuebing’s Uncle’s wife laughed. “Xiao Jin has a boyfriend. It’s a good thing.”

Dong Xuebing’s grandmother said. “Ask him to come in. Why is he staying outside?”

After a while, Tang Jin returns with Liu Li. Liu Li had gone to buy gifts and was nervous when he met Tang Jin’s parents. Dong Xuebing’s Second Aunt and her husband started questioning Liu Li on how he met Tang Jin, his family’s conditions, etc.

Dong Xuebing left the house with Yu Meixia. He does not want to interrupt his Second Aunt and her family.

Dong Xuebing and Yu Meixia strolled along with the small village, and they could smell the rustic farmlands.

Half an hour…

One hour…

When Dong Xuebing returned to Luan Family’s house, he saw his mother, Luan Xiaoping, in the courtyard packing some stuff.

Luan Xiaoping saw her son and gave him a stare. “Why did you get into a fight again?”

“Mum, it is not fighting. I am enforcing the law.” Dong Xuebing laughed. “Where are Second Aunt and the rest?”

Luan Xiaoping points to the western room. “Your Second Aunt and Xiao Jin are in there. Liu Li had left.”

Dong Xuebing was surprised. “Why did he leave? The second Aunt did not invite him to stay for dinner?”

“Your Second Aunt and her husband felt Liu Li’s family condition is not good. His parents are not healthy, and the village he is living in is famous for its poverty.” Luan Xiaoping sighed. “They felt Xiao Jin would suffer if she gets married to him, and don’t agree to their relationship.

Suddenly, Dong Xuebing could hear Tang Jin crying from the western room.

Dong Xuebing, Luan Xiaoping, and Yu Meixia entered the room and saw Dong Xuebing’s Second Aunt’s husband sitting there with a straight face. The second Aunt was holding Tang Jin’s hand and persuading her, but Tang Jin is stubborn. She cried. “I don’t care! I don’t care! I just want to be with Liu Li.”

The second Aunt scolded. “Xiao Jin!”

Tang Jin covered her ears. “I don’t want to hear!”

Dong Xuebing smiled wryly. If Liu Li had not stepped forward in front of him today, he would be injured. Dong Xuebing said. “I can tell Xiao Liu is a good man.”

Tang Jin finally found someone supporting her. “See! Even Brother says this!”

The second Aunt replied. “I did not say he is not a good man. But… his family… He still needs to take care of sick elders in his family, and his family is poor. The village he lived in is also poor, and you will suffer if you get married to him.” Because of Dong Xuebing, their lives had gotten better slightly, and Dong Xuebing’s Second Aunt hopes her daughter will find someone with better conditions.

Tang Jin argued. “I said I am not afraid of suffering!”

Tang Jin’s father added. “We will not talk about this now. You are still young and are not in a hurry to get married.”

Tang Jin retorted. “You all had asked me to get married earlier! Now, I brought my boyfriend back, and you all are telling me not to hurry?!” Tang Jin paused for a while and continued. “Someone in Liu Li’s family is taking care of his sick parents, and if you all are worried that I will suffer, I… Liu Li and I will move to the County town and rent an apartment there. Liu Li’s parents also want us to live our own lives and not to worry about them.”

Tang Jin’s father asked. “What about your rental?”

Tang Jin’s mother asked. “What about your jobs?”

Tang Jin was frustrated and turned to Dong Xuebing. “Brother! They are bullying me! You must help me!”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “What can I do? Your parents are doing these for your good.”

Tang Jin panics. “I just want to marry Liu Li and will not like someone else! Brother! Help me! Say something… please!” Dong Xuebing doesn’t know what to say, and Tang Jin ran over to hug Luan Xiaoping and cried on her shoulder. “Aunt! Help me speak to my parents, please!” Tang Jin knew Luan Xiaoping is softhearted and start begging her.

Luan Xiaoping looked at Xiao Jin’s parents and said. “Xiao Bing can help with Liu Li’s work transfer.”

Dong Xuebing’s Second Aunt hesitated. “This…”

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. “I can help, but it will not be some good positions. At most, I can help him get a transfer to the Traffic department or the investigation team.” He looked at Tang Jin and laughed. “As for Xiao Jin, I think I can help her find a job in the County town.”

Tang Jin shouted excitedly. “Mum! Dad! Our jobs’ issues are settled!”

Dong Xuebing’s Second Aunt sighed. “Our family had never been wealthy, and Liu Li’s family is the same too. Even if you two move to the County town, your living expenses will be high, and your salaries might not be enough to cover it. What will you do in the future? What about your children? You are too impulsive and must plan carefully before you regret.”

Tang Jin retorted. “I will not regret my decision!”

Tang Jin’s parents did not reply to her.

Luan Xiaoping looked at Tang Jin and thought for a while, before taking out an ATM card. She gave it to Tang Jin and said. “Xiao Jin, your mother is right. You need money to survive. Here… there should be over a hundred thousand in this account and should be enough for a few years of rent. If Liu Li’s family can fork out a little more, you two can buy an apartment.”

Dong Xuebing’s Second Aunt quickly stopped Luan Xiaoping. “Sis, you cannot do this. How can we accept your money?”

Tang Jin pushed the ATM card back to Luan Xiaoping. “Aunt, I cannot accept it.”

Luan Xiaoping refused to take it back. “Just take it. This is a gift from me.” The money in this card is given to her from Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing had deposit 200,000 RMB into her account, and after these few months, she still has over 100,000 RMB in it.
