Ashley Sheen felt strange. What kind of combination was this? The older one was taking medicine at the side, and the younger one was chatting with her?
She looked at Amelia and asked curiously, “Hello, Mia. Why are you looking for me?
Amelia’s face turned serious. “Auntie, Mia is here to help you catch…”
Elmer covered Amelia’s mouth. “You’re letting your mouth run free? It’s not catching ghosts, but helping her get rid of her bad luck.”
Amelia held her breath and changed her words. “Mia is here to help Auntie get rid of her bad luck!”
Ashley: “…” Kids nowadays are so young, yet they think they’re scammers? She quickly waved her hand. “Um, no need. I’m fine…”
Amelia asked directly, “Aunt Ashley, do you feel so tired recently that you can’t do anything?”
Ashley paused for a moment and hesitated, “Yes, but… this is normal, right?” In modern society, the pace was fast and the pressure was high. Who didn’t go through this?
Amelia asked again, “Then when you sleep at night, will you suddenly wake up from the cold?”
Ashley: ‘
Amelia said, “Sometimes, your eyes are muddled, and you can’t remember anything. You feel that life is not going well everywhere. Your face is getting darker and darker, and your dark circles are frighteningly dark. You don’t even taste anything when you eat. You feel that your back is so heavy, and your spine is about to bend from the pressure It’s as if you’re carrying a ghost…”
Ashley: “…” She did not say anything else, but she was inexplicably woken up by the cold at night. How did Amelia know that? She hesitated. “You’re right. It’s April now, and the temperature is 15 to 16 degrees at night. I’m still covered with a thick blanket, so I shouldn’t be woken up by the cold. But recently, I’ve been woken up by the cold for no reason. No matter how many blankets I cover myself with, it’s useless.” She even turned on the air conditioner to warm up. Then, her husband scolded her for being crazy. He said that on such a warm day, she even turned on the air conditioner and covered herself with a blanket. Then, he chased her out of the bedroom and let her sleep in the study.
Amelia was stunned. “Why are you the one sleeping in the study?”
Ashley said, “Don’t I have to write at night? I’m in the study anyway.”
Elmer clicked his tongue.
When Ashley said this, it was as if she had opened a conversation box. She complained, “The house we live in now is not small. It has three bedrooms and a living room. My mother-in-law lives in one room, my husband and children live in one room, and the other is my study.”
Amelia: “Your husband asked you to sleep in the study, and you really went to sleep in the study?”
Ashley looked helpless. “So be it. I don’t want to argue with him. Besides, our child sleeps with us. If I turn on the air conditioner, the child won’t be able to take it.”
Amelia :”…”
Ashley also wanted to buy a bigger house because of this. She had been writing novels for so many years. Although she did not earn much money, other than the expenses of a family, she still had some savings. It was enough to buy a big house in the suburbs.
Ashley: “When you mention buying a house, I’m even more speechless. It’s clearly my family that is buying a house, but my husband brought this relative and that relative to look at it today. I can’t say anything. After these relatives finished looking at it, they each had an opinion. They say more than me, the person who paid for it! Just now, we just came back from looking at the house. A group of people were chattering about this and that. What kind of house is bad? They don’t sit in the north or south. I feel that I’m unnecessary.”
When she was looking at the house just now, Ashley had taken a fancy to one. It was more than 200 square meters and the price was very reasonable. She felt that it was good to have a study room. When children grew up, they could have their own rooms and leave a guest bedroom. However, her husband’s second aunt was unhappy when she heard that. She said that it was too expensive. Why would she buy such a big house? It was not easy to tidy it up. 140 to 150 square meters was enough. She also said if she wanted a study, she could just buy a desk. She also said not to pursue school district houses. They were all useless. Then, she suggested that she buy them in another neighborhood. That neighborhood was filled with resettlement housing. The price was cheap, but the environment was very poor!
Ashley said angrily, “I have to have a study! I’m a full-time novelist and need a quiet environment to write. However, my husband’s second aunt heard my request and said that I’m pretentious! Also, those resettlement houses she mentioned. It’s surrounded by construction sites and there’s the sound of electric drills and wall smashing all day long. My husband even listened to her and said that he wanted to take a look. I was angry and came back first..”
