If she had a man like Lu Yichen, handsome and capable, the most important thing was that he would keep all the allowances for her, be willing to make a stone table for her, make a stove for her, buy a lot of meat to treat her, and he would also be able to cook a table full of good dishes. It would also make everyone praise her.
But when she thought about the man she married, other than constantly wanting her at night, he usually didn't say a word, and the allowance wasn't even for her. He was so poor, not to mention treating her. Their wedding was so shabby, and she still remembered it even now.
However, before Zhao Xiulan's wound recovered, Liu Haiying came again after two days. Her tone was sour. She said with a disdainful look, "Tsk tsk, it seems that those two people have suffered a lot. Humph, it's already been two days and they still haven't left the house. They're lying on the kang. I heard that they make delicious food every day. What a loser's wife."
"Who hasn't consummated their marriage? Who has the time to lie on the kang for two days and eat delicious food every day? Bah--"
Zhao Xiulan was hit again and was so angry that she couldn't get up from the kang.
However, another day later, her bangs came looking for Zhao Xiulan again. With an exaggerated face, she said, "Sister Xiulan, that shameless Kang Xiaoqiao has gone out. Look at the way she is dressed. She looks like an old lady, yet she is still wearing those pants with her legs exposed. Bah --"
"With her legs exposed like that, who is she trying to seduce? She is carrying a begging bag on her back. I don't know what she is doing. She is so beautiful..."
When Zhao Xiulan heard this, her eyes lit up. She knew that it was almost time for her to go out.
Another day had passed. Zhao Xiulan dressed herself up neatly. From the back window of her house, she happened to see Xia Zijun digging the ground in kang Xiaoqiao's courtyard, sweating profusely.
Therefore, she narrowed her eyes and left the house. Just as she walked to the front door of Wang Xuehua's house, she heard Liu Haiying's question. She could not help but listen carefully because she also wanted to know the relationship between this man and Kang Xiaoqiao.
Wang Xuehua had been getting along well with Kang Xiaoqiao these few days. In addition, she had taken advantage of the man's shortcomings and taken advantage of his shortcomings. When she heard Liu Haiying's words, her expression became unpleasant.
While washing the clothes, she said, "Don't talk nonsense. What do you mean by bringing back a man? If people heard this, wouldn't they say something?"
When Liu Haiying heard this, she said unwillingly, "Tsk, then why do you need others to listen? They've all seen it."
"Yesterday, he came back to help her carry a bucket. After that, he had dinner at her house. I didn't expect that he would come again today. There's firewood, there's food, and there's soil in the yard. Humph, who in a normal relationship would do this kind of work?"
"Heh, I don't think so. She might even leave the door open in the middle of the night..."
Before she could finish, Wang Xuehua reprimanded her with a sullen face, "Shut up. You're full of sh*t. If you like to talk, go back to your house. Don't talk nonsense in my house. When that time comes, it'll look like I said something."
"What relationship does that have to do with you? Maybe before Unit Lu left, he stopped the young man from coming over to help..."
Liu Haiying was unhappy after being reprimanded by Wang Xuehua. However, she usually had a good relationship with Wang Xuehua. She did not expect that so many people would not give her any face at all.
Just as she was about to say something, Zhao Xiulan's voice drifted over from behind.
"Sister-in-law Wang is right. Sister-in-law Liu, you can't talk about little sister Xiaoqiao like that. Perhaps Unit Lu really spoke before he left."
Wu Xiaoyan saw that it was Zhao Xiulan and looked at her in surprise. She said, "Hey, isn't this Sister Xiulan? Looks like her body is better?"
Then, she curled her lips and said, "Tsk tsk, your small body is so thin. How can you get sick so easily? If there's nothing else, you should hurry up and see a doctor."
"Fortunately, the guards are not at home. Otherwise, wouldn't your man's heart ache to death? This beautiful little wife can only be seen but not used. How itchy is his heart? Don't you think so?"
As soon as Wu Xiaoyan finished her words, the others also nodded and laughed. Liu Haiying had just suffered at Wang Xuehua's place and was unable to find a punching bag.
Hearing this, she curled her lips and said, "That's right. With Sister Xiulan's figure, which man can withstand that seductive posture of hers? The guards probably won't just die of heartache. They might even die of grievance."
After Liu Haiying's words, everyone laughed again. Meanwhile, Zhao Xiulan's face was flushed red. Her hands were clenched into fists. She wished that she could scratch the faces of these two people. At the same time, she hated Kang Xiaoqiao even more.
Therefore, she endured it again and again. Finally, she revealed a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "The two sisters-in-law really know how to joke."
"My body is just a little better. I was teased by the two sisters-in-law when I went out. This is because we are on good terms. It's fine if it's a joke, but if it's an outsider, they would think that it's a mockery. They would definitely quarrel and make a scene."
Zhao Xiulan had endured enough. Logically speaking, she had already said this. If the two of them knew what was good for them, they would just let it go. However, what she encountered was Liu Haiyan, this heartless thing.
She said with disdain, "What's wrong with an outsider? Hmph, so what if you're making a scene? What if I'm afraid?"
When Zhao Xiulan heard this, not to mention her face, even her neck turned red. Her eyes were filled with anger.
...
Kang Xiaoqiao was in the courtyard. She looked at Xia Zijun who was sweating profusely and smiled in satisfaction. Why wouldn't she use the labor that was given to her for free?
Wasn't it a waste of money to eat this elder sister's rice? Hmph.
This was actually quite good. The only thing that made Kang Xiaoqiao depressed was Cui Huihui, this stinky girl. She didn't look at the flowers properly. When she had nothing to do, she would take a look at Xia Zijun. She even went to deliver water at random, as if she was afraid that he would be thirsty.
However, looking at the neat furrows that had been carried out, she was still very satisfied. Then, she remembered that she had to go to Wang Xuehua's house to get some seeds.
In the end, when she looked at her house, Eh, there were quite a lot of people in the courtyard.
Therefore, Kang Xiaoqiao walked to the fence and said to the people in the yard, "Hey, it's so lively today. Everyone came to Sister-in-law Wang's house to visit."
While they were in a stalemate, they heard Kang Xiaoqiao's words, and their attention was immediately diverted.
Seeing that it was Kang Xiaoqiao, Wang Xuehua immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Sister Xiaoqiao, what's going on in your house?"
In fact, Wang Xuehua didn't really know what was going on in Kang Xiaoqiao's house. Rather than asking others, it was better for her to open her mouth.
Hearing this, Kang Xiaoqiao turned her head and glanced at her own garden. She smiled and said, "That little girl is Instructor Wang's niece. I met her when I was in the hospital. She came to my house to play with me."
"The one who turned the ground upside down, eh? It was my Yichen who felt sorry for me. He said that I was too weak to do this job, so he found someone from the ministry to help me."
"Needless to say, this young man is quite fair. I thought that he was just here to eat for free. I didn't expect that he could do the job well. Look, the firewood is also his."
