Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes shrank when she was asked this question. Then, she lowered her head to look at the other blueprint in her hand and said, "Why do you care who taught me? Why do you have so many things to do? This is what you said. If you want to do something, then do it together. Why? Are you going back on your word now?"
"Are you starting to feel sorry for the money? Why don't I return it to you?"
Lu Yichen's face darkened when he heard this. He continued in an unpleasant tone, "Who's feeling sorry for the money? Hurry up. What else do you have? Don't talk nonsense."
Kang Xiaoqiao looked at the black-faced Lu Yichen. She was not afraid at all. Instead, she curled her lips and continued, "And this."
Lu Yichen took it and looked at it. He frowned and asked, "Why are you making a big wooden bucket?"
Kang Xiaoqiao glared at him when she heard this. "What do you mean by a big wooden bucket? This is called a bath bucket. Bath bucket. Do you understand?"
Then, under Lu Yichen's dark gaze, Kang Xiaoqiao continued, "It's almost summer. The weather here is so hot. There's no need to take a bath?"
Lu Yichen's face was cold. "There's a public bathroom..."
Kang Xiaoqiao immediately frowned when she heard that. "I don't want to go..."
Just as Lu Yichen was about to blow up the temple, Kang Xiaoqiao's expression immediately changed. She said pitifully, "Yichen..."
"Speak properly."
"Yichen, I want to take a bath at home and soak in the warm bath bucket. It's so comfortable. If I go to the public bathroom, there'll be so many people and I'll have to queue up. When I come back after taking a bath, it'll be no different from not taking a bath."
"Yichen..."
...
Just like that, under Kang Xiaoqiao's persuasion, Lu Yichen took Kang Xiaoqiao's drawing and left. Kang Xiaoqiao, on the other hand, had a smile on her face as she went to tidy up the warehouse because the simple kitchen had to be set up here.
In Wang Xuehua's yard, there was still a child-beating scene. Because of Gou Dan's crying, Liu Haiying lost a lot of face, so she dragged Gou Dan and gave him a good beating. The other sisters-in-law in the wilderness were trying to stop and persuade her. When they saw Lu Yichen leaving the house... They stopped.
However, when the adults stopped, the child would not stop crying. In fact, Kang Xiaoqiao had heard the child crying a long time ago, but she did not know why the child was crying so much.
Everyone saw that Lu Yichen had just left when Kang Xiaoqiao left with a smile on her face. Where was the trace of being beaten?
Everyone's expression became worse. Only Wang Xuehua's expression was better. At this moment, she was hugging her timid little daughter, Yuan Yuan. When she saw Kang Xiaoqiao, before she could say anything, a person rushed to the fence in front of her.
With an anxious expression, she shouted at Kang Xiaoqiao's courtyard, "Hey, little sister Xiaoqiao, have you finished eating?"
Kang Xiaoqiao was stunned by the question. This person... looked a little familiar, but not very familiar. However, she did not hit the smiling person, so she smiled and said, "Yes, I just finished eating."
Kang Xiaoqiao only smiled politely. She did not have any intention of having a deep conversation with her. However, she did not expect that person to act so familiar and directly continued loudly, "Little sister Xiaoqiao, did you eat meat at your house for lunch?"
Kang Xiaoqiao was stunned when she heard that. This person was really interesting. No one would ask what she ate. However, she still smiled politely and nodded. She had originally planned to go over like this, but... That person then said loudly with an envious look, "Aiyo, little sister Xiaoqiao is really good at cooking. Why didn't I see it before?"
"This meat is made from the ground. It's really fragrant. After so many years, it's the first time I've smelled such a fragrant meat smell. Tsk tsk..."
After saying that, she swallowed her saliva. This person was none other than the Sister-in-law Wu who had a particularly sharp nose and looked like a small earth tank. Her name was Wu Xiaoyan.
As soon as Wu Xiaoyan said that, Liu Haiying was displeased. She directly said, "Bah! If I had meat that was made better than her, wouldn't I just have a meal? What's so great about it?"
After saying that, she rolled her eyes and said with a displeased tone, "Yan Zi, can you not be so greedy? If you see any good food, you have to ask. So what if you ask? What if she can give it to you?"
"My Gou Dan is crying like this, but I haven't seen her give him a bite. Tsk, she's so stingy to children. Don't think about it."
Hearing Liu Haiying's words, Wu Xiaoyan's face immediately turned red. Then, she retorted, "Bah, even if I bring you a cart of meat, you can only make it stink. I'm not looking down on you, but we've been together for so many years, who doesn't know what's going on?"
"What are you pretending for? If you have the time to control your child properly, how old are you? You still want to eat? Aren't you ashamed?"
Hearing this, Liu Haiying could not take it anymore. She turned to Wu Xiaoyan and shouted, "Who are you talking about? Say it again?"
Wu Xiaoyan was not a person who was afraid of trouble. She straightened her back and shouted, "I'm talking about you. What? Are you fighting? I'm afraid of you. I've been unhappy with you for a long time. I've never seen such a shameless person like you..."
The tense atmosphere immediately rose. The two of them could erupt into a war at any time. Kang Xiaoqiao, who was standing at the door, was dumbfounded. Wasn't she complimenting her cooking? Why? In the blink of an eye, the two of them were going to fight?
When Wang Xuehua saw that, she frowned and hurriedly went forward to pull Liu Haiying aside. She said, "Aiya, what are you doing? It's not a big deal. You're quarreling all the time. Alright, alright, stop quarreling."
Wang Xuehua was in a bad mood. Why were these people always quarreling? And they were all quarreling at her house? It was really enough.
Zhao Xiulan was naturally not idle. She pulled Wu Xiaoyan's arm and tried to persuade her, "Sister-in-law Wu, please calm down. To be honest, I didn't expect that Sister Xiaoqiao's cooking would be so delicious."
"She has been in the family courtyard for quite some time. It's really well-hidden. I didn't expect her to have such good cooking skills. She said she didn't know how to cook. Could she be joking with us?"
Zhao Xiulan's move to change the topic was really good. Originally, the two of them were about to fight, but this time, the topic was changed back to Kang Xiaoqiao.
Kang Xiaoqiao, who was in the courtyard, couldn't help but squint her eyes. How blind was the original owner? Such a vicious woman actually treated her as a good friend, a best friend, and even listened to her every word. It was really...
The two people who were about to make their move heard Zhao Xiulan's words, and as expected, they stopped fighting with each other, especially Liu Haiying. In fact, she hated Kang Xiaoqiao the most, so she immediately took over the conversation. She said disdainfully, "Pah, shameless b*stard. I told you she set the fire on purpose, but you didn't believe me. Humph."
"She cooks so well, how can she not know how to set the fire? Who is she kidding?"
Although the others didn't say anything, they all looked at Kang Xiaoqiao. She had been here for so long, but she really hadn't set the fire once. She had cooked a meal and went to the cafeteria every day.
Of course, this was also one of the reasons why Zhao Xiulan looked down on Kang Xiaoqiao. She did nothing and did nothing every day. Lu Yichen actually gave her money to go to the cafeteria to eat, while she worked like a cow and horse every day to save money. At night, she had to serve Wei Bin, who was as strong as a bull and never knew when he was full. Her complexion was especially bad.
