Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

Chapter 64 Delivering Medicine

Xiulian said, "This Xiaoyang has a high EQ and he is very smart. He rents a place in our house and will do business here in the future. He will definitely hope that our family will support him. So he will not offend us, nor will he openly reject me. Perhaps he will even deliberately get closer to me in the future."

"But I estimate he'll keep a certain distance from me, so that we can help him without offending us and giving our family endless illusions."

"Girl, you've only known each other for a short time. How can you have such thoughts?"

"Mom, why didn't he ask me to be his girlfriend? Why did he ask me to be his buddy? There's a hidden meaning in that, isn't there?"

"Maybe they're just shy and embarrassed."

"Mom, he's not a shy person; he'll tell dirty jokes."

"Girl, whether he's a buddy or a girlfriend is just a matter of a single thought. It mainly depends on you. If you want to be his girlfriend, it's not difficult at all. He's a man in his early twenties, full of youthful vigor. Do you think he can control himself? Do I need to teach you?"

"Mom, you're going too far! What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Alright, Mom won't say anything more. If you like her, go ahead and date her. If you don't, Mom won't force you. It's up to you."

"Alright, Mom, when Dad gets back, stop talking nonsense. Give me the medicine, I'll give it to him, and then I'll go back to sleep."

Aunt Tian opened a drawer,

"Here, this is safflower oil, and these are iodine swabs. He has an injury on his shoulder; apply some iodine to it."

"oh!"

"Mom, I'm leaving now!"

"Um!"

Xiulian came downstairs with safflower oil and a bottle of iodine.

"Thump thump..."

"Xiaoyang, are you there?"

Ding Yang quickly got up.

"exist!"

Open the metal door,

Ding Yang was wearing boxer shorts and a jacket over them, which made him look quite bulging.

"Xiulian, I'm almost asleep, what's wrong?"

"Isn't your foot hurting? I'll get you a bottle of safflower oil to apply. I also brought some iodine. You have a wound on your shoulder, right? Applying some iodine will help it heal faster."

"Thank you, please come in!"

The messy, dimly lit tin shack contained two secondhand cabinets, an old sofa, and a metal bunk bed. A small fan was blowing directly at the bunk bed, which had no mat, just a deck and a work blanket.

"Xiaoyang, this is too rudimentary."

"It's alright. When you're out and about, having a place to shelter from the wind and rain is enough. Besides, it's only temporary. I haven't set it up properly yet. The cabinets and other things are all secondhand, which I bought yesterday. I'll go to the secondhand market to buy some more furniture another day."

"Please sit down!"

Ding Yang felt a little embarrassed, so he took out a pair of shorts from the box and put them on.

Ding Yang moved the fan over to face the sofa.

"This light bulb isn't bright enough. I'll ask my dad to change it for you tomorrow."

"It's okay, I can change it myself."

Xiulian sat on the sofa,

"Xiaoyang, are there a lot of mosquitoes?"

"Yes, I've been bitten twice on the hand. I lit two mosquito coils, but there's still some left. I'll buy a mosquito net tomorrow."

"Sit down, I'll put some medicine on you."

Ding Yang felt a little embarrassed, but he still sat down.

"Bear with it, it might hurt a little."

Xiulian picked up a cotton swab, dipped it in iodine, and applied it to his shoulder.

"Your shoulders are all peeling."

"It's okay. I've already applied some medicine. I'll be fine after a couple of days of rest. It's just that I'm inexperienced and used too much force. That carrying pole is too hard."

Looking at Ding Yang's model-like figure, Xiu Lian suddenly blushed.

"Stretch your feet out, I'll put some safflower oil on them for you."

Xiulian applied safflower oil to him, and Ding Yang felt a little embarrassed, creating a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.

"I'll do it myself."

"Don't move!"

"How come your legs are so long!"

"I'm tall, actually I'm tall all over."

Ding Yang cursed inwardly, realizing that his words seemed somewhat inappropriate.

Xiulian pretended not to hear.

"Okay, rub it yourself."

"Thanks!"

"Xiaoyang, keep this medicine here, you can apply some more tomorrow."

"Oh, thank you!"

"Xiao Yang..."

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing!"

"Just say what you want to say. Why are you beating around the bush? Trying to act all ladylike?"

"I am a lady, okay?"

"Yes, yes, you're a lady, but I'm not a gentleman, I'm a scumbag."

"A fair maiden is sought after by a gentleman; a fair maiden must be matched with a gentleman, so you must find a gentleman."

"So noisy!"

Are you staying at your mom's tonight?

"No, I'm about to drive back, it's not far."

"oh!"

"Xiaoyang, you shouldn't stay here anymore. It's too rudimentary; there's not even a toilet. Why don't you stay at my place?"

"Ah... living with you?"

"You wish!"

"Hehe, so why did you ask me to stay at your place?"

"I have a self-built house over there, eight stories high, more than 150 square meters. It was just completed last year. I live in one unit, and the rest are rented out. It's all my own."

"Holy crap, are you a landlady?"

"I guess so!"

"How much will the rent be per month?"

"The three shops plus the building cost around 2 yuan. A small single room is only 200 yuan a month, which is very cheap."

"I heard that landlords here also make a profit from water and electricity bills, is that true?"

"Of course, I charge 1.2 yuan for electricity, while some people charge 1.5 yuan. Water is 4 yuan, while others charge 5 yuan."

"That's outrageous! The Southern Power Grid only charges a little over 6 cents per kilowatt-hour, but you're charging such a high price. You're making more than half the profit!"

"Everyone collects it this way, it's not just me."

"Too!"

"Xiaoyang, I still have two rooms that haven't been rented out. I'll reserve one for you."

"No need, thank you."

"This is too rudimentary. There are so many mosquitoes, and there's no toilet."

"It's nothing. Strong people never complain about their circumstances. What's a little hardship? Zhu Yuanzhang was once a beggar."

"Ugh, you just love to argue. Are you Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"Hehe, you're not Ma Xiuying either?"

Xiulian suddenly pinched Ding Yang's calf hard.

"what……"

"Sister, are you trying to steal my husband?"

"Hate!"
