Xiao Qian returned home, her pocket stuffed with the passbook Yu Minglang had insisted on giving her, as if his voice were still ringing in her ears. The expression on her face had finally relaxed a bit.
However, as soon as she stepped through the door and saw her mother sitting behind the cash register, fanning herself, and Chen Lin, who was more attentive than ever, holding a watermelon, her good mood soured.
āQianāer, where have you been all morning? You havenāt been home!ā Jia Xiufangās face still bore the red marks from her fight with Chen Lin the day before, and her eyes were swollen. She had been persuaded by Chen Lin to come back.
Chen Linās eyes were full of apprehension when he saw Xiao Qian, but more than anything, he was irritated.
It was all because of this girl that the truth had come out. Otherwise, everything would still be peaceful now. One upstairs, one downstairs, he would have been happy.
āQianāer, come and eat some melon.ā Although he was inwardly annoyed with Xiao Qian, his words were still warm and welcoming. Chen Lin was even more attentive than usual.
If it werenāt for the fact that his despicable deeds were right in front of her, looking at his tea-serving, water-fetching performance now, he really resembled a model husband.
Men caught cheating were all like this, showing their best behavior to cover up their inner weakness.
Xiao Qian didnāt even glance at Chen Lin before turning to ask Jia Xiufang, āWhereās Chu Xue?ā
āSheās gone back to her hometown. Our shop hasnāt been busy lately, so I can handle everything on my own.ā Jia Xiufang felt choked up when she thought of Chu Xue.
Her husband stubbornly refused to admit that he had anything to do with Chu Xue, and a few red marks werenāt enough to prove anything. All she could do was drive Chu Xue away.
āWhy is it so hot?ā Jia Xiufang now spoke without any politeness to her husband. Holding the upper hand, she felt a sense of empowerment and even began giving orders to Chen Lin.
āIāll buy a fan in a bit. Our shopās fan has been broken for so long.ā Chen Lin was completely submissive.
Xiao Qian watched her father leave and frowned. She couldnāt stand his current obsequious attitude.
Jia Xiufang called Xiao Qian to sit beside her. Mother and daughter sat side by side, and Jia Xiufang picked a piece of watermelon for Xiao Qian.
āWhy are you roaming around outside at night? What if something dangerous happens? Biaozi from Aunt Qiās family didnāt run out last night. What would you have done then?ā
She had been so upset yesterday because her husband was entangled with that woman. Her heart had been thrown into confusion, and she had felt compelled to run to her family for help. But then she found out that her daughter had also returned at an unknown time last night, which made her heart skip a beat. She hurried back to check on her daughter.
Seeing Xiao Qian safe and sound now, Jia Xiufang breathed a sigh of relief, but she still wanted to nag.
āYou should worry about your own business instead of mine.ā Her mother really could nag, and her words had never been pleasant to hear. But Xiao Qian could tell that her mother cared about her, so she didnāt genuinely resent it. āWhat business do I have? Youāre just a little girl, donāt meddle in adult affairs.ā In Jia Xiufangās heart, Xiao Qian was still a child.
āThat woman may be gone, but you need to keep an eye on your man. More accurately, keep an eye on all the money in the house.ā fr eenovelkiss.com
āWhat do you mean?ā Jia Xiufang stopped eating the watermelon when she heard her daughterās words.
āYou donāt really think heās changed his stripes just because heās wagging his tail at you, do you? A dog canāt change its habit of eating shit. If you donāt take control of the money in this house, somethingās bound to happen sooner or later.ā
Jia Xiufang was displeased.
āHow could you say that about your father?ā
Xiao Qian snorted coldly, unwilling to explain.
This was a womanās slavish nature.
She wouldnāt learn her lesson unless she was taught one. It was too early for her mother to become self-reliant. According to Xiao Qianās assessment, her mother had a dependent personality, and getting her to quit relying on her husband would be the same as kicking a drug habit.
In any case, Xiao Qian wasnāt in a hurry. Healing peopleās minds as a psychologist was a long process, and it would take time.
Jia Xiufang chatted idly with her daughter, discussing the familyās affairs, but refraining from mentioning what had happened yesterday.
Just as Xiao Qian had expected, Jia Xiufang was purposely avoiding the topic, pretending it had never happened. But the cracks in her heart had already formed.
Chen Lin came back inside, cursing as he entered.
āWhereās the fan?ā Jia Xiufang asked.
āThese goddamn merchants raised the price again, and I didnāt bring enough money. Give me another 20!ā He remembered that it hadnāt been that expensive just a few days ago, but today, the price had suddenly gone up.
Jia Xiufang gave Chen Lin the money and continued chatting with Xiao Qian.
āQianāer, I saw a quilt cover for you. When your father comes back and watches the shop, letās go take a look. If itās suitable, weāll confirm the order. Itās time to prepare the wedding quilt.ā
āNo need, just get me a single one.ā
āWhat nonsense are you talking about? You canāt have a single quilt for a wedding. What a joke! Iāve checked, and silk quilts are popular now, but theyāre a bit expensive. Iāll discuss it with your father and buy it for you! Be careful when you use it after you get married. Donāt let someone else take it away, understand?ā
āIām not getting married.ā
āWhat the hell?!ā Jia Xiufang slapped the table, causing the watermelon peels to shake.
āSay that again, whatās wrong with you?ā
āIām not getting married.ā
Just as Xiao Qian was about to pull out her admission notice to show her mother, Chen Lin walked in cursing again.
āThese goddamn things, how could they have raised the price again! 1 mean, not even half an hour has passed, and theyāve raised the price twice! Why donāt they just rob people!ā
āHoney, come and take a look at your daughter. Sheās gone crazy, saying sheās not getting married!ā Jia Xiufang complained.
Chen Lin didnāt have time for this at all. āGive me another 20, hurry up! If I donāt buy it now, the price might go up again. These soft-shelled turtlesā¦ā
Jia Xiufang took out 50 from the drawer, and Xiao Qian stood up upon seeing this.
āGive me the money; Iāll buy it myself.ā
Chen Lin had run back and forth enough times and took out an exact 30 from the 50, not willing to give Xiao Qian a single cent more.
Xiao Qian had been timing it just right; Ni Jianren, that idiot, would be coming soon. She decided to go out early and not stay in the house to witness the disgusting scene that was about to unfold.
Yu Minglang and his buddy Hai Zhao were just about to head out to eat when they saw Xiao Qian riding a 26-inch ladiesā bike, wobbling over. They stopped in their tracks and went back inside.
āWhatās wrong?ā Hai Zhao asked.
āNothing, weāll leave in a bit.ā Yu Minglang scanned the shop and finally chose an inconspicuous corner. He pulled Hai Zhao down to sit with him. This spot was blocked by some appliances, making it hard for other people to see.
āWhere are the fans?ā Xiao Qian asked as soon as she walked in.
Yu Minglang heard her and tugged at Hai Zhao, āPut down the price of your fan.ā
āā¦Why?!ā He had been enjoying the price hike just fine!
āI bet none of your employees know that you wet the bed when you were five.ā Yu Minglang said casually.
Hai Zhao let out a low curse, got up, and went straight to Xiao Qian. Seeing the boss come out, the shop assistant stopped talking.
āYou want to buy a fan?ā Hai Zhao looked at Xiao Qian casually, but once he saw her, he couldnāt take his eyes off her..
