She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 851 - 793: Famine Era 34 (Second Update)

"Okay, I understand, Aunt Guan. Thank you. This is a gift I brought for you. Please don’t mention my return. I don’t want to see her. If she wants to stay, let her, but the house must have a name change because I’ve also changed mine. We need to transfer the ownership."

Tong Zhan didn’t want to see his mother, so he swiftly left the courtyard. However, when he brought the relevant proof (which he specially retrieved) to confirm that Liu Meng was Tong Zhan, and Tong Zhan was Liu Meng, to the subdistrict office for a stamp, he changed the name to Ye Huan’s before signing.

Ye Huan didn’t ask anything. Afterward, the two went to the housing registration department and finally obtained the so-called property certificate issued after the establishment of the country.

Tong Zhan used his current identity to specifically instruct not to reveal Ye Huan’s identity to Ma Dongmei.

"If she asks, just tell her this is her daughter-in-law’s house and has nothing to do with Ma Dongmei anymore."

"She can live here now, but if one day we want the house back, she’ll have to move out."

Tong Zhan didn’t want to see her and just instructed the subdistrict staff like this, then left with Ye Huan.

At the hostel, she finally asked him, "Why did you suddenly change the name? This was the house your father left you."

"Back then, Liu Meng was more suitable for undercover work, so I used it. After transferring my job, I realized this name couldn’t be used, not even the surname. I had no choice but to use Tong Zhan. Actually, I feel sorry for my dad."

"Then why worry? When we have kids, you can change back to the Liu surname, right?"

"But we don’t have kids yet. Instead of using my name, it’s better to use yours. If anything ever happens to me, at least you and the child will have a place to stay."

Ye Huan was startled, turned around, and quickly covered his mouth, "I forbid you from speaking nonsense. You’re fine. How could anything happen to you?"

"Silly girl, we’re in a special operations brigade, you know what special ops mean? We’re in high-risk duties, and we write wills before each mission. Huanhuan, being a soldier, you should understand the unique nature of my work. I didn’t mean to hide it from you, but Ma Dongmei isn’t an easy woman to deal with. We don’t provoke her now because we have a place to stay. But as for the future, "

"Don’t say it. I don’t want to hear it. We just got married. I won’t allow you to say these alarming words. Remember, you’re a husband now and a father-to-be. You’d better take care of your life!"

Tong Zhan found the appearance of his little wife being angry amusing. He smirked and ruffled her hair.

"Okay, wasn’t I just trying to tell you in advance? Honestly, I never expected her to have the nerve to come back with her illegitimate child. Seems like her face is thicker than the walls of the Great Wall!"

Ye Huan noticed his disdainful words but a tinge of sadness in his eyes, and couldn’t help but sigh.

"Is it really necessary? After all, that’s your mother. Maybe she realized her mistake and came back to find you."

"If it weren’t for her, my dad wouldn’t have been enraged to death. She ran off, leaving him melancholic and drowning his sorrows in alcohol, letting a minor illness turn into a major one, and died with no cure in sight. I was so poor I couldn’t even afford a coffin, and he was hastily buried wrapped in a straw mat. Although I had a new coffin made and erected an epitaph before returning to Beijing, such regret is irreparable for a lifetime. Tell me, what right does she have to live in my father’s house?"

"Her son is five years younger than me, already twenty-eight now. With no household registration, he’s been working part-time, and no girl wants to marry him. Aunt Guan said he’s quite a loafer. Should my house become their sole refuge? Dream on, why should I provide them such a shelter?"

Suddenly thinking of something, Tong Zhan turned abruptly. Ye Huan, confused, hurriedly grabbed him, "What’s wrong?"

"I think avoiding isn’t the solution. I should evict them now, once and for all."

Ye Huan quickly pulled him back, "But this house, we’re not living in it now. Even if we drive them out, what about later? As long as we don’t move in, they’ll keep finding chances to harass the neighbors. Instead, why not wait until we need it, then deal with it once and for all? By then, if we move in, what could they do, even if they make a fuss?"

Tong Zhan pressed his lips together, pausing, still visibly reluctant. How could Ye Huan not know what he was thinking now?

The same son, one abandoned for years, the other cared for all this time. Whose heart would be at ease? Who could be balanced?

Saying he didn’t want to see them, didn’t he actually want to meet her?

"They aren’t living well, are they? And now you are married and have me to cherish you. Who’s really happier?"

Tong Zhan finally chuckled by Ye Huan, "Not embarrassed now, huh?" He teased, pinching her cheek.

"Why should I be embarrassed? My man is so excellent. That brother you’ve never met, can’t even compare to your toenail, huh?"

Complimenting like this, Tong Zhan indeed no longer dwelt on it, taking her hand back to the hostel. The two took a nap and then got on the car to return to the base. Little did they know, after their departure, the originally quiet Wanqing Alley was stirred up by rumors from the street office, leaving Ma Dongmei and her son stunned with the half-filled matchbox in hand...
