Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 51: Taking Credit for Someone Else’s Stuff?
Gao Huabin watched the two of them and felt like he shouldn’t be here; he seemed like an extra wheel. He felt out of place.
After Su Yijia finished massaging Qin Kaize, she took out a portable radio. The morning sun was not too hot, and the courtyard had plenty of trees, making it a comfortable place to sit.
They listened to the news on the radio, occasionally sharing their opinions, but mostly just enjoying the moment.
After about an hour and a half, they heard the sound of a car pulling up outside. They hadn’t gone to open the door yet when they heard their curious neighbors chattering away.
"Oh my goodness! What did they buy? A sewing machine! And even a television!"
"What are those two big boxes? A refrigerator? A washing machine? You can wash clothes perfectly well by hand; it’s not such a tiring job. Buying a washing machine is such a waste, isn’t it?!"
"What’s a refrigerator?"
Their neighbors were both envious and curious, with their eyes glued to those unfamiliar items. At that time, refrigerators were extremely rare, and many people hadn’t even heard of them.
Su Yijia paused as she walked towards the door, not wanting to face the neighbors’ questions and teasing. No matter how you looked at it, there was an element of showing off.
However, at that moment, Qin Kaize’s mother spoke up.
"It’s just a big cabinet. You can put food inside, and it keeps it nice and cold. You can even have ice pops whenever you want." Her tone was filled with pride, as if they had brought back a rocket.
Listening to their neighbors’ supportive and curious remarks, Su Yijia awkwardly scratched her temple before finally opening the door.
When Qin Kaize’s mother saw her, her smile froze for a moment, and she turned her head away, clearly not wanting to acknowledge her.
However, she immediately thought that Su Yijia wasn’t someone who would go easy on others, so she wanted to lead those neighbors away first.
"It’s getting late, let’s go to Aunt Tian’s house to pick vegetables. The sun outside is getting hotter."
A woman referred to as Aunt Tian nodded, and just as she was about to move aside, another neighbor deliberately taunted, "Little Yujie, look how well your mother-in-law treats you. You’ve married into the family, and she’s bought you all these nice things. But you, as a daughter-in-law, seem to be a bit out of place. How can you let your mother-in-law cook for the whole family after marrying in?"
"She’s not my mother-in-law! My husband is Qin Kaize, and I have no relationship with that Qin Mingcheng. These things weren’t bought for me by Wei Shufen; they were bought by my husband’s uncle, Uncle Xia. Uncle Xia has no connection to the Qin family at all, so I’ve never enjoyed any benefits from the Qin family." Su Yijia crossed her arms and looked at her neighbors with a half-smile, half-smirk expression, shocking them to the point where their jaws nearly dropped.
In this short exchange, the information was so rich that the neighbors didn’t know where to start discussing it.
"Yijia, have you cleared out your room? You should talk to the workers about where to put these things." Qin Kaize’s mother abandoned her desire to show off and take control and reached out to grab Su Yijia, trying to pull her into the small courtyard of the Qin family. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
However, Su Yijia sidestepped her hand and walked straight to the small pickup truck that held several large items.
The workers carefully untied the ropes and began to move each item.
A Panda brand television, a Snowflake brand refrigerator, a Narcissus brand washing machine, a Butterfly brand sewing machine, a Flying Pigeon women’s bicycle...
Every single item was something to envy.
"Comrade Su, where should these items be placed?" a security guard approached Su Yijia and politely asked.
