Chapter 75

　Actually, Yao Le’er could come back on her own now, but to be considerate and have some time alone together, Xu Bin still went to pick her up. The main reason is that if she wanted to take leave, Xu Bin, as her guardian, would have to go.

　　”Brother-in-law!”

　　Yao Le’er already knew about this on WeChat, and as soon as she left the school gate, she cautiously asked, “What kind of leave did my brother-in-law take?”

　　”I told the teacher that your brother-in-law was in a car accident…”

　　”You’re so mean.”

　　She was a little shy in the taxi, and after returning to the community, she kept running into people, so she didn’t have a single chance to be alone with anyone. Xu Bin was extremely depressed.

　　Xu Bin became idle whenever the three sisters met, watching them busily packing clothes and personal belongings on the sofa, which piled up in the living room.

　　After a busy afternoon, they disposed of all the trash that Shen Ruyu couldn’t bear to throw away, and also cleared out the old furniture in the three rooms, to the point of completely emptying the second floor.

　　Shen Ruyu returned home around 5 p.m. after finishing her card game.

　　The second floor was completely cleared out and looked very empty. The two small rooms looked much more spacious, and Shen Ruyu couldn’t help but sigh.

　　The tigress frowned and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you all so idle? Why didn’t you just clean it yourselves? Why did you hire someone?”

　　Four people from the housekeeping company came and were cleaning all the rooms, including the bathrooms. The three Yao sisters were chatting in the master bedroom, which Shen Ruyu naturally couldn’t stand.

　　”Mom, it was Binbin who told us not to do it.”

　　Yao Nan said cautiously, “He said that only housekeeping companies are professional at deep cleaning, and that we shouldn’t get involved because it’s so hot and we shouldn’t get tired.”

　　Yao Xin also said with a smile, “Mom, my brother-in-law is just being considerate of his wife, and we’re benefiting from it too.”

　　”Mom’s back!”

　　At this moment, Xu Bin walked in from outside, carrying a fruit platter, and said with a smile, “Let’s have some fruit first, it’s so hot outside.”

　　”Long live my husband!”

　　”Long live brother-in-law!”

　　The deluxe fruit platter includes chilled watermelon, as well as premium items like Grade A cherries and milk strawberries.

　　Shen Ruyu looked at them with heartache and said, “Son-in-law, you really are something. This dish must have cost a lot of money. You’ve spoiled them rotten.”

　　”Big sister, I specially picked out the best box of durians.”

　　Xu Bin also took out a box of durians.

　　”Thanks……”

　　Yao Xin was a little surprised when she took it, wondering how her brother-in-law knew she loved durian. Zhang Xinda had always thought it was expensive and had a strong smell, so he had never bought it for her or let her eat it at home.

　　The mother and her three daughters ate fruit. Looking at the beautiful scenery of women of all shapes and sizes, Xu Bin felt a surge of desire and secretly vowed to turn this house into his brothel… oops, I mean his harem.

　　”Mom, we’ll split into two groups tonight.”

　　Xu Bin arranged things in an orderly manner: “After you three have taken the measurements, go to the furniture store and pick out new furniture.”

　　After thinking for a while, Yao Xin suddenly said, “Mom, since Nan Nan and the others have moved to the master bedroom, why don’t we knock down the partition between the two small rooms? That way, the other room will be bigger too.”

　　Why?

　　Shen Ruyu was somewhat taken aback.

　　Yao Le’er said sensibly, “Big sister, my room is big enough after you clear out all the stuff. If you knock down the walls, there will only be one room left. It won’t be convenient for you to stay at your parents’ house when you quarrel with your brother-in-law in the future.”

　　”Tch, I don’t come back often, and now that I do, I mostly sleep with my mom, so there’s no need to reserve a separate room for me.”

　　Yao Xin said with a smile, “If that doesn’t work, I’ll sleep with you!”

　　”The two small rooms are separated by a wooden board, which is not soundproof at all. You can hear everything when you make a phone call. It’s really unnecessary.”

　　Shen Ruyu was a little conflicted. The initial purpose of the upstairs renovation was to ensure that each daughter had her own room. Although she was very controlling and willful, she was at least aware of this.

　　”Son-in-law, what do you think?”

　　Subconsciously, Shen Ruyu looked at Xu Bin, feeling that it was best for her son-in-law to make the decision.

　　Upon hearing this, the three Yao sisters all looked at Xu Bin, seemingly tacitly acknowledging his position as the head of the family. At this moment, Yao Nan smiled even more happily.

　　Xu Bin sat cross-legged on the ground, smoking and even placing an ashtray on the floor.

　　This is a sign of improved status in the family. Before, I would get scolded for smoking in the living room, but now I can smoke in my mother-in-law’s room and none of the four of them have any objections.

　　”I think that’s a good idea!”

　　Xu Bin said with a smile, “It’s fine as long as you sisters have discussed it. The main thing is that Le’er spends a lot of time at school, and the eldest sister doesn’t come back to stay very often.”

　　”Okay, then let’s find someone to dismantle it!”

　　The two small rooms were combined into one, which meant that there were only two master bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs. Naturally, Yao Le’er was the happiest because her living environment had been significantly upgraded.

　　After chatting for a while, Xu Bin received a call from the electronics flagship store downstairs.

　　As soon as the housekeeping staff left, several workers came to dismantle the old air conditioner, and at the same time, the repairman we found downstairs also came to remove the plywood. The efficiency was exceptionally high.

　　”Honey, what did you mean by splitting up into two groups?”

　　Yao Nan then asked a question.

　　Xu Bin laughed and said, “You three sisters go to the furniture store later and pick out the furniture you like. If we deliver it tonight, it won’t be in time to be delivered tomorrow morning.”

　　”My mom and I are waiting at home for the air conditioner to be installed and tested. The installer will come over tonight to remove the wooden panels on the wall. After he’s done, he can just paint it a little so it won’t delay the furniture assembly tomorrow.”

　　As he was talking, Xu Bin transferred 50,000 yuan to his wife. Yao Nan was a little surprised when she saw it and said, “Honey, that’s too much.”

　　”If it’s for my own home, I’ll choose something nicer.”

　　Xu Bin also patted his sister-in-law Yao Le’er’s head and said very seriously, “It’s good to be thrifty, but don’t be too calculating since you’ve already spent the money. Let your little sister choose what kind of bed and desk she wants to buy. You two older sisters are not allowed to say anything to her.”

　　This is a case of planning ahead, after all, Yao Le’er is at the bottom of the supply chain, and when it comes to spending money, not only will her older sister Yao Xin, who is like a mother to her, control her, but even the usually gentle Yao Nan will definitely give her a lecture.
