Chapter 76 - 76

Actually, Yao Le'er could have come back on her own now, but to be more considerate and have some alone time, Xu Bin specifically went to pick her up. The main reason was that taking leave required Xu Bin, the guardian, to handle it.

"Brother-in-law!"

Yao Le'er already knew about this through WeChat, and as soon as she stepped out of the school gate, she cautiously asked, "What kind of leave did you take, Brother-in-law?"

"I told the teacher that your big brother-in-law had a car accident..."

"You're so mean."

In the taxi, she felt a bit shy. After returning to the community, they kept running into people, and as a result, there wasn't a single moment for them to be alone, which frustrated Xu Bin greatly.

As soon as the three sisters met, Xu Bin became idle. He sat on the sofa, watching them busy themselves with packing clothes and personal items, and the living room was piled high with stuff.

They worked for an entire afternoon, disposing of all the trash Shen Ruyu didn't want to throw away and also getting rid of the old furniture in the three rooms, almost emptying the entire second floor.

By 5 PM, Shen Ruyu, who had just finished her mahjong game, rushed back home.

The second floor was completely empty, making the two small rooms look much more spacious. Shen Ruyu couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing the maids, Shen Ruyu frowned and asked, "Why did you hire people to do this? You girls could have done it yourselves."

The cleaning company sent four people to clean all the rooms, including the bathroom. The three Yao sisters chatted in the master bedroom, which Shen Ruyu found unacceptable.

"Mom, it was Binbin who said we shouldn't do it ourselves," Yao Nan said cautiously.

"He said that a deep clean requires professionals, and we shouldn't get our hands dirty. It's too hot, and we might get tired," Yao Le'er added.

Yao Xin also chimed in with a smile, "Mom, your son-in-law is just being kind to his wife, and we're benefiting from it too."

"Mom's home!"

Xu Bin entered from outside, carrying a tray of fruit and saying with a smile, "Let's have some fruit first. It's so hot today."

"Hurray for the husband!"

"Hurray for Brother-in-law!"

The deluxe fruit platter included chilled watermelon, grade-A cherries, and milk-strawberries, all high-end items.

Seeing this, Shen Ruyu said worriedly, "Son, you really shouldn't have. This platter must have cost a lot, and you're spoiling them."

"Big Sister, I specially picked the best durian for you," Xu Bin said, taking out a box of durian.

"Thank you..."

Yao Xin took the durian, a bit surprised that her brother-in-law knew she loved durian. Her husband, Zhang Xinda, always complained that durian was expensive and had a strong smell, so he never bought it for her and didn't let her eat it at home.

The four women started eating the fruit. Seeing this feast for the eyes, Xu Bin felt a surge of heat, vowing to turn this house into his own... harem.

"Mom, we'll split up into two groups tonight," Xu Bin said, organizing the plan, "You three go measure the sizes and then pick out new furniture at the furniture store."

Yao Xin thought for a moment and then said, "Mom, since Nan and Le'er are moving to the master bedroom, why don't we remove the partition between the two small rooms? That way, one room will be larger."

"Why?"

Shen Ruyu was a bit puzzled.

Yao Le'er sensibly said, "Big Sister, my room will be big enough after we clear out the stuff. If we remove the partition, there will only be one room left, and it won't be convenient for you to stay here if you and Brother-in-law argue."

"Whatever, I don't come back often anyway. Now that I'm back, I mostly sleep with Mom, so there's no need to keep a room for me," Yao Xin said with a smile. "If worse comes to worst, I can sleep with you!"

"The partition between the two small rooms is just a thin wooden board and doesn't block sound at all. You can hear everything, even a phone call. So, it's not really necessary to keep it," Shen Ruyu said, feeling a bit conflicted. Initially, the upstairs renovation was done to ensure each daughter had her own room. Although she was controlling and spoiled, she had some awareness in this regard.

"Son-in-law, what do you think?"

Unconsciously, Shen Ruyu looked at Xu Bin, feeling that he should make the decision on this matter.

As she said this, the three Yao sisters also looked at Xu Bin, seemingly 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 floor, smoking and even placing an ashtray nearby.

This was a sign of his rising status in the family. Previously, smoking in the living room would result in scolding, but now he could smoke in his mother-in-law's room, and the four women had no objections.

"I think it's fine," Xu Bin said with a smile. "You sisters discuss it and make a decision. mainly, Le'er spends most of her time at school, and Big Sister doesn't come back often."

"Alright, then let's get someone to demolish it!"

Merging the two small rooms into one meant that upstairs there would only be two master bedrooms and one bathroom. The happiest person was Yao Le'er because her living environment had significantly improved.

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

As soon as the cleaning staff left, a few workers came up to disassemble the old air conditioner. Meanwhile, the workers called from downstairs also came up to disassemble the three-ply board, and the efficiency was extremely high.

"Husband, what did you mean by splitting into two groups earlier?" Yao Nan asked.

Xu Bin smiled and said, "In a while, you three sisters go to the furniture store and pick out the furniture you like. If they can't deliver tonight, they should be able to deliver by tomorrow morning."

"I'll stay home with Mom to wait for the air conditioner installation and adjustment. Tonight, the workers will also come to demolish that wall. After demolishing, we'll paint it a bit, which won't affect the furniture assembly tomorrow," Xu Bin said, transferring five thousand yuan to his wife, Yao Nan. She looked a bit surprised and said, "Husband, that's too much."

"It's for our own home, so pick something better," Xu Bin said, also patting Yao Le'er's head and seriously saying, "It's good to be thrifty, but once you spend money, don't be too calculative. Let Le'er choose her own bed and desk. You two sisters shouldn't interfere."

This was a precautionary measure. After all, Yao Le'er was at the bottom chain of things. When it came to spending money, not only would Yao Xin, her elder sister and mother, discipline her, but even the usually gentle Yao Nan would definitely give her a lecture.
