Upon waking up, Lin Xiangyi realized she had transmigrated into a period novel written by her stepsister. Her stepsister was the protagonist, and she was the villainous female supporting character....
Just as they arrived at the door of their house, they saw Lu's mother and Lin Huihui coming out of the house. Both of them were carrying a hoe on their shoulders and looked like they were getting ready to go out to work.
Lin Huihui smiled and asked, "Mom, your shoulder is injured. How about I carry the hoe for you?"
"It's just a minor injury, how can it be so serious? It's just carrying a hoe, but since you are so filial, I will let you carry this hoe," said Lu's mother with a smile.
Lin Huihui really took the hoe.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also saw Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi, but Lin Huihui's expression did not show any abnormality.
Mother Lu saw that Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi's faces were not very good, but the next second she didn't know what she thought of, and she laughed again, and said to Second Sister-in-law Lu who came out with a hoe behind her:
"The second brother's daughter, Huihui is really a filial daughter, don't you think? Fortunately, your third brother married her. If he had married someone else, she might not be as filial as Huihui."
"Yes, mother, my third brother's wife is indeed a good daughter-in-law. Look, on the second day after she got married, she helped with so many things at home. She is truly filial," said Mrs. Lu with a smile.
She knew that Mother Lu said this on purpose for Lin Xiangyi to hear, so she also agreed to Mother Lu on purpose.
But what she said was indeed sincere. Before Lin Huihui got married, all the housework in the house was done by her and Mrs. Lu. Today, because Lin Huihui got married and took care of many things, she and Mrs. Lu didn't know how much easier they had to do.
The Xie family, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, passed by chatting and laughing.
Lin Xiangyi found it a little funny. She thought she cared about Lu Dingyuan?
"Tsk!" Xie Qingxiao suddenly sneered.
Lin Xiangyi glanced at him: "What are you laughing at?"
"Laugh at your stupid stepsister," Xie Qingxiao said. He opened the mottled wooden door of the Xie family and said, "You should be glad that you didn't marry into the Lu family."
Lin Xiangyi followed him in and guessed what he meant: "Because Lin Huihui always has to work after marrying into the Lu family?"
"What else?" Xie Qingxiao came to the kitchen and said without looking back, "If you married Lu Dingyuan, you would be the one working now. If you didn't go, the Lu family would definitely be unhappy. But it's different if you marry me. You marry me to enjoy life."
Xie Qingxiao took a winnowing basket and put the bitter melon and beans he had picked into it. He took it to the water tank and scooped two scoops of water into it. He picked up the bitter melon and rubbed it twice. Then he took the chopping board next to him, put it on the stone table, and sliced the bitter melon.
Lin Xiangyi also picked up the beans and cut them into pieces. She listened to his words but didn't take them seriously and just smiled.
Xie Qingxiao didn't hear her reply. He turned around and saw her smile. He frowned and stopped cutting the bitter melon: "Don't you believe what I said?"
Seeing how serious he was, Lin Xiangyi nodded and said, "I believe it!"
Ever since she got married yesterday, Xie's father and mother have been unable to find fault with her in any way, and Xie Qingxiao has also been very good to her.
Without anyone telling her, she knew that marrying Xie Qingxiao would definitely be better than marrying Lu Dingyuan.
However, regarding what Xie Qingxiao said, that she would enjoy happiness by marrying him...she actually believed that he was sincere in saying this at this moment.
But this moment is sincere, what about the future?
People's hearts will change, just like her father. He was so good to Chen Fengmei before he married her.
But what happened later? He treated her worse than Lin Huihui.
What's more, her marriage with Xie Qingxiao had no emotional foundation at all. She was already very satisfied as long as they could respect each other and play their own roles well.
She wouldn't expect any more.
Xie Qingxiao knew from the look on her face that she didn't believe him, and he felt a tightness in his chest. He wanted to say something, but he felt that whatever he said right now would be too empty and would seem like bragging.
So he said, "If you don't believe me, forget it. Time will prove what I say."
Lin Xiangyi raised her eyebrows, nodded and said, "Then leave it to time. I hope you won't let me down. Of course, I will do my duty as a wife and try not to let you down."
She thought Xie Qingxiao would be happy after she said that, but unexpectedly, Xie Qingxiao became even more depressed.
Why did she make their marriage sound like a transaction?
Xie Qingxiao was in a bad mood. He kept a sullen face and said nothing. He lowered his head and continued to cut the bitter melon.
Lin Xiangyi sensitively noticed the changes in Xie Qingxiao. She didn't know what was wrong with him. She felt a little confused and stopped talking.
Xie Qingxiao cut the bitter melon and prepared to take it to the kitchen to fry it.
Seeing this, Lin Xiangyi quickly stopped him and said, "Are you planning to fry it like this?"
Xie Qingxiao: "What else?"
"Bitter melon is bitter, and it will be even more bitter if you stir-fry it directly," said Lin Xiangyi. "You have to pickle it with salt to remove the excess water in the bitter melon. The stir-fried bitter melon will not be so bitter, and it will be more crispy!"
Xie Qingxiao: “…” There are so many programs?
"You can't cook, right?" Lin Xiangyi said, "If you can't, just leave it there, I'll do it."
Xie Qingxiao: “…” He just said that she was here to enjoy herself, but if he can’t cook, won’t she have to do it in the future?
“No need,” Xie Qingxiao said, “I’ll do it. Just tell me how to do it.”
After hearing what he said, Lin Xiangyi thought about it and let him do it. She asked him to marinate the bitter gourd with salt for ten minutes, then washed off the salt and moisture from the bitter gourd with water, drained it and set it aside.
"Stir-fry bitter melon with eggs. First, beat three eggs and put them in a bowl. Add a small amount of salt. Put oil in a hot pan... Hey, hey, hey, wait until there is no water in the pan before adding more... Get out of the way!"
Xie Qingxiao put the oil into the pot without waiting for the water to drain. The pot instantly splashed with hot oil, and Lin Xiangyi quickly pulled him away.
