After waiting for Lu Yichen to turn around and leave, Kang Xiaoqiao smiled as she counted the money and the colorful tickets. Her mood was extremely good. She couldn't help but smile and say, "Little boy, you know your place. Seeing that you're so straightforward, hmm, I'll let you have a good taste of my cooking."
Kang Xiaoqiao's cooking was not just for show. Her biggest hobby was eating. A person who loved to eat would usually cook. Although Kang Xiaoqiao was not a chef, her cooking skills were very good. She had put in a lot of effort to learn how to cook.
After that, Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes continued to stare at the meat ticket. Her eyes were shining and her saliva was about to flow out. No, no, she had to quickly go and take a look and buy the ingredients back before she could feel at ease.
Although the money that Lu Yichen gave her was not much. Only thirty yuan. It was really too little in Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes.
But no matter what, it was still better than Kang Xiaoqiao being poor and white. Right now, she only had this little thing that Lu Yichen gave her. She really had nothing.
Kang Xiaoqiao had a strong character. She had already secretly decided in her heart that what she took from Lu Yichen today would definitely be doubled back to him in the future.
And for Lu Yichen's favor today, she also accepted it. No matter what kind of role Lu Yichen considered, whether it was because he felt that she was pitiful or because she was now his wife, he had the obligation to support her.
However, Kang Xiaoqiao was used to being independent. Thirty yuan was not a lot, and it was not enough for her to eat Haagen-Dazs once. However, when she was at the end of her rope, Lu Yichen had given her a meal, and she would remember it.
When her mother was still alive, she always told her that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. For so many years, she had been used to the deceit in the business world. There were all kinds of tricks, such as giving a favor and not expecting a return. However, Kang Xiaoqiao had always held onto that original intention.
After she finished lamenting, Kang Xiaoqiao did not panic even though she had money in her hands. When she got up in the morning, she was busy looking for food and did not care about the clothes on her body. Now, after being reminded by Lu Yichen, she remembered that she had worn these clothes for at least three days. At least... She had worn them during the two days she was in the hospital.
How could Kang Xiaoqiao endure this?
She quickly rummaged through the cabinets to find clothes to wear. With great difficulty, she found two or three pieces of clothes in that poor cupboard. Each of them had been washed until they were white. There were even some that were patched. How could she wear them?
However, no matter what, it was still better than the clothes she had worn for two days. If it were not for the conditions that did not allow it, Kang Xiaoqiao would have wanted to soak in the bathtub and take a hot bath for three days and three nights.
At this moment, she began to miss the new clothes that she could not wear all year round. She also missed her big, round bathtub. She put a pool of warm water and sprinkled it with rose petals. After that, she lay there quietly to rest and occasionally read a magazine. She drank a glass of red wine...
The more Kang Xiaoqiao thought about it, the more beautiful the thought became. However, the reality was so cruel. Let alone taking a bath, she hadn't even eaten a meal yet.
Kang Xiaoqiao calmed herself down and let out a big breath. She encouraged herself and said, "What's there to be afraid of? You, Kang Xiaoqiao, are not a coward. See, it won't be long before you realize your dream of taking a bath. Wait for it."
Kang Xiaoqiao encouraged herself and looked at the clothes in her hands. In the end, she chose a small shirt with broken flowers and a pair of black open-door pants. She washed her feet and changed into a pair of clean cloth shoes. She felt much better in an instant.
Although the clothes were not particularly clean, they were still considered washed, right?
Eh, who asked the host to have a good sister who cared for her younger sister? She had taken care of her from a young age and did not need her to work at all. If her sister had not gotten married in the past six months, she probably would not even wash a single piece of clothes.
However, when she thought of the host's laundry deeds, Kang Xiaoqiao could not help but twitch the corner of her mouth. The reputation of being a prodigal had spread far and wide. How could one use a whole bar of soap to wash a single piece of clothes?
But the original owner had done it. Otherwise, why would the clothes be so clean? Thinking of this, Kang Xiaoqiao's face could not help but sink. There were not many people who knew that the original owner had done this. Who would be so bored as to stare at whose house to wash clothes?
There was only that person who often left. Other than Zhao Xiulan, there was probably no one else. Thinking of this, Kang Xiaoqiao could not help but twitch her lips. The original owner was really stupid. Why did she think that Zhao Xiulan was a good person? Tsk tsk, she really could not understand.
However, there were many strange people in this world. Kang Xiaoqiao could not control it. Looking at herself in the mirror, who had dressed up, she happily took the huge sum of thirty yuan out of her house and went straight to the food stand in town because it sold meat.. If she arrived late, there wouldn't be any left.
However, as soon as she went out, she heard hysterical crying coming from Wang Xuehua's house next door. The sound was as loud as a pig being slaughtered, and Kang Xiaoqiao couldn't help but slow down.
Then, she heard that person crying as she said, "Wu, Sister-in-law Wang, I, I don't want to live anymore. Ah, I don't want to live anymore --"
"He, Chen Aiguo, hit people indiscriminately. Wu, look, look at my face and arms, wu --"
...
What was going on?
Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes instantly lit up. She knew this voice. It was Liu Haiying who had fought with her yesterday.
Why was she crying at Sister-in-law Wang's house so early in the morning? Did she mean that she was beaten?
Oh, this is interesting. Kang Xiaoqiao blinked her eyes and pursed her lips into a smile. She made up her mind to go and watch the show first. It was rare for her enemy to howl in pain. If she didn't go and take a look, how could she face this wonderful spring?
Eh, there was a villain in Kang Xiaoqiao's heart who despised her. If you have good faith, just say that you have good faith. What does it have to do with this wonderful spring?
However, Kang Xiaoqiao completely ignored her. Like a cat that had stolen a fish, she walked briskly towards Wang Xuehua's house.
The closer she got, the more clearly she heard it. Liu Haiying was crying with snot and tears while Wang Xuehua comforted her.
"Aiya, why are you talking back to him? What kind of person is Unit Chen? You have lived with him for so many years. Don't you know?"
"Aren't all men the same? The more you argue with him, the more enthusiastic they become."
After Wang Xuehua finished, Zhao Xiulan also said, "Yes, Sister-in-law Liu, I think Sister-in-law Wang is right. Don't be angry. Come, let me wipe it for you. Apply some cold water on it. It should heal faster."
The few sisters-in-law who came to watch the show also nodded and said, "Sister Xiulan is right. Let her apply some cold water on it for you. Aiya, this Unit Chen is really something. How can a couple hit each other so hard? Tsk tsk..."
"Who says so?"
Then, they began to discuss animatedly.
The cold towel applied on Liu Haiying's face made her gasp in pain. The more painful it was, the more aggrieved she felt. She was so angry that she couldn't help but complain loudly, "It's all that damn Kang Xiaoqiao's fault. Wu, it's all her fault. If my man didn't hear the rumors outside, why would he come back and find trouble with me? Wu--"
