Little Seven looked up from his homework. “House? I’m… not too sure about that. I suppose it has been assigned?”

Gu Qingyao frowned. “Don’t you know? I was just thinking of visiting your house once you’re sure of where you’re staying! Then I can figure out how to get there. Otherwise, I might not even know where you’re living in the future!”

Little Seven shrugged. “I haven’t heard anything about it. I’ve been given a lot of homework recently! I’m struggling just to manage my homework every day. Junior year is so difficult!”

The workload in their junior year was much heavier than in their previous years. Little Seven and Little Eight were about to sit for their university entrance exams, and it was true that their studies were very important right now.

But they had already been in the capital for more than a month, and Third Uncle had started work long ago. If their house still was not assigned by now, then something was amiss.

Third Uncle’s position was not considered very high in the capital, but he was very important compared to the average citizen. His work unit would certainly assign him a house, but it would be a far cry from Second Uncle’s house.

Second Uncle had a little bungalow in a wealthy area. Third Uncle’s position would probably earn him a house with three or four bedrooms and a living room in a fairly good area.

The Gu family’s status in the capital was very high. Based on the respect that was given to major families, Third Uncle’s assigned house was certain to be fairly large.

If they had not moved by now, then it was certainly because… someone did not want to move.

As a daughter, Gu Qingyao was very content with her family’s circumstances, and she felt very blessed. Her family got along well and were very united. Her cousins and uncles were very good to her. They were reasonable and capable. Gu Qingyao liked them very much and was very protective of them.

She hoped that no disagreements would arise in her family. But now, she was worried that Third Uncle’s family would treat Second Uncle’s house as the Gu family’s residence and live there as a matter of course.

Second Aunt would never consent to it. In the long run, it would certainly cause problems.

But she was a daughter and was married, so it was difficult for her to interfere.

Gu Qingyao felt rather anxious.

She looked at Little Seven doing his homework and smiled, “Little Seven! When you move house, you must be sure to let me know! I’ll give you a small gift. This time, Third Uncle was transferred and promoted, so he will certainly be assigned a large house. The room for the two of you will certainly be much larger than before. I’ll give you a nice present when the time comes!”

Little Seven’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Of course. When have I ever lied to you!”

“Great! I’ll certainly let you know when the time comes!”

“Good boy!”

Little Seven and Little Eight were still young, and it was natural for boys to be rather oblivious. Besides, if the adults were deliberately avoiding the subject, it was not surprising that they did not know anything about it.

But it was better not to let the matter drag on for too long.

Gu Qingyao slowly rose and left so as not to disturb the children who were doing their homework.

Mo Beihan was outside the room. When he saw her emerge, he helped her to the balcony to sit down.

“What’s wrong? Worried that your Third Aunt will refuse to leave your Second Uncle’s house?”

Gu Qingyao hesitated. “You heard everything?”

Mo Beihan placed a cushion for her to lean against. “I heard part of what you said to Fifth Cousin the day that Third Uncle’s family first arrived. Later on, I saw that you were studying them at the table, so I also paid attention to them.

“It’s been more than a month, but their family is still living with Second Uncle. I can guess what’s going on.”

Gu Qingyao lowered her head. She felt rather upset!

“Third Uncle and Third Cousin are definitely not like that. But sometimes, men are not so observant unless someone drops them a hint.. If someone is deliberately trying to plant their own ideas, they might not notice it in a moment of carelessness.”
