"Ouch, you've hit me!"

A woman's voice came

"Oh, I thought it was someone else, but it's you!"

Wang Qiang looked up and saw Qin Huairu, who was clutching the spot where she had been hit and groaning in pain.

"What are you yelling for? It's nothing! If people hear you, they'll think something terrible has happened!"

After saying that, Wang Qiang stretched out his hand, as if to grab Qin Huairu.

"What are you doing? It's a bright and sunny day!"

Qin Huairu pushed away Wang Qiang's outstretched hand.

"I must say, the steamed buns in the cafeteria today are so much better than the ones sold outside. They're so soft and big!"

Wang Qiang grinned and casually touched Qin Huairu's face.

"screw you!"

Qin Huairu looked around to make sure no one was watching, then muttered a curse under her breath.

"You said it, so I'm off!"

When Qin Huairu saw Wang Qiang about to leave, she quickly stopped him.

"What did you say, steamed buns? The cafeteria has steamed buns again today?"

Qin Huairu was quite happy, as she hadn't eaten steamed buns for many days. She noticed a pocket behind Wang Qiang and hurriedly tried to rummage through it.

"Hey, aren't you afraid of being seen now?"

"Brother Wang, why are you arguing with me?"

Qin Huairu glanced down at the bag of steamed buns in Wang Qiang's hand.

"That's more like it. I don't offer credit here!"

Wang Qiang stared at Qin Huairu with a grin.

"No problem, anywhere is fine with you, as long as you're willing!"

Qin Huairu chuckled. This wasn't the first time she'd been taken advantage of by others because of food.

"Go to my room and wait for me!"

"Hey, good morning! Brother Wang, hurry up or the steamed buns will get cold!"

Qin Huairu agreed and started to walk out, but suddenly stopped.

"Brother Wang, who are you looking for here?"

Qin Huairu was very puzzled as to why Wang Qiang, who had never visited the deaf old lady before, had come today.

"I just bought a few extra steamed buns to bring to the deaf old lady. She's a family member of a martyr, so we should take care of her."

Wang Qiang's lies failed to fool Qin Huairu.

Her two big eyes darted back and forth over Wang Qiang, and suddenly she understood.

"Brother Wang, I know even if you don't say it, it's because of Lou Xiao'e, isn't it?"

There was a hint of sourness in his tone.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Wang Qiang sternly warned Qin Huairu, "In this day and age, lifestyle issues are very serious."

"What's wrong with that? They're all the same! What's so great about her? Is she better than me?"

Qin Huairu straightened her body.

"I'll tell you!"

Wang Qiang leaned close to Qin Huairu's ear and whispered, "It's none of your business. I can give it to whomever I want!"

Qin Huairu slapped Wang Qiang: "A hen that can't lay eggs!"

"Brother Wang, could you give me a steamed bun?"

Qin Huairu was eyeing the steamed bun in Wang Qiang's hand.

I must say, Qin Huairu is indeed very seductive.

"Walk!"

He then turned and walked towards his house.

"Ugh, don't let anyone see this!"

Despite saying that, Qin Huairu showed no intention of pushing Wang Qiang away.

What Wang Qiang didn't know was that Lou Xiao'e saw everything clearly from behind as he walked away with Qin Huairu in his arms. Lou Xiao'e, who was about to leave, went back and cried under the covers in bed.

Unlike the desolate scene at Lou Xiao'e's house, Wang Qiang's house was bustling with activity.

"Brother Wang, you see how tough my life is, could you give me some steamed buns?"

Qin Huairu looked at Wang Qiang with great anticipation. Although she had come to ask for steamed buns, now that she knew about his relationship with Lou Xiao'e, she felt a sense of crisis.

Wang Qiang said with a smile, "Talking without doing is just empty talk, and doing without talking is just foolish practice."

Qin Huairu spoke slowly. "What do you mean by that?"

Wang Qiang is truly ruthless. A total scumbag. "What do you mean? Do you think I'm stupid enough to give you a steamed bun based on just a few words?"

Qin Huairu then realized that she had underestimated Wang Qiang. "Oh, Brother Wang Qiang, what are you saying? I'm just borrowing it; I'll pay you back later."

Wang Qiang smiled, took out a cigarette, struck a match, lit it, and comfortably leaned back on the bed.

"Just because you have red lips and white teeth, you think I'd give you a steamed bun just because your upper lip touches your lower lip? You're dreaming!"

"Looks like what they said was right, a cigarette afterward, and you feel like you're in heaven."

After saying that, he looked at Qin Huairu with satisfaction.

"Take a look, can't you see anything?"

Qin Huairu twirled around in front of Wang Qiang a few times. Actually, she was dressed neatly and cleanly, but she just wanted to show off her figure to Wang Qiang.

"Alright, stop being so vain. She's just like everyone else, isn't she? Even if she's pretty, you get tired of seeing her like that after a while!"

Wang Qiang impatiently blew out smoke rings.

"Hmph, what a jerk! I'm leaving!"

Qin Huairu walked to the door, then turned back, looked at the bag of steamed buns on the table, and then looked at Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang waved his hand, and Qin Huairu hurriedly hugged the whole bag of buns to her arms. She pushed open the door, looked around to make sure no one was there, and ran back to her room.

As soon as she entered the door, she was caught by Madam Jia: "You're always running around outside, are you trying to starve this family to death?"

Madam Jia pointed her finger at Qin Huairu's nose and cursed, "Our Jia family is doomed to marry you! You've disgraced the family, going out and having affairs! Shameless!"

Faced with Jia Zhangshi's scolding, Qin Huairu dared not respond.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you mute? You can shout loudly outside!"

What are you holding in your arms?

Madam Jia chattered on and on, and when she saw Qin Huairu holding a bag in her arms, she knew that Qin Huairu had brought back some good stuff from outside again.

Qin Huairu put the bag on the table, opened the cloth bag, and Jia Zhangshi saw that it was actually steamed buns.

"It must have been stolen from another man, right?"

He said that, but then reached for a steamed bun and took a bite out of half of it.

"Mom, eat slowly, there's still so much left!"

Seeing that Jia Zhangshi's mouth was stuffed with steamed buns, Qin Huairu quickly said something.

"You'd love for me to choke to death, wouldn't you? So you can go find another man!"

As Jia Zhangshi spoke, she had already finished a steamed bun.

"Good grandson, come and eat some steamed buns!"

Jia Zhangshi called out "Bang Geng," and Jia Xiaodang and Huaihua heard it and ran over as well.

"You two can only have one each, understand?"

Upon seeing Jia Xiaodang and Huaihua, Jia Zhangshi shouted sternly. The two little girls nodded, stretched out their little hands, each grabbed a steamed bun, and began to wolf them down.

"Mom, there are so many steamed buns, let them have one more!"

Qin Huairu felt a pang of sadness when she saw her two daughters staring longingly at the steamed buns on the table.

The steamed buns I worked so hard to get were met with these kinds of comments.

While eating, Jia Zhangshi complained to Qin Huairu for not being discreet and bringing shame to the Jia family.

"The steamed buns smell delicious, my dear grandson, eat up and have a couple more."

Banggeng, his mouth greasy from eating, exclaimed, "This is great! I want to eat steamed buns every day, and these even have meat inside!"

Madam Jia looked at Banggeng with affection, then said to Qin Huairu, "Make more steamed buns in the future. Look at the lunchbox that Shazhu brings every day, there's only one or two slices of meat in it."

"They've made my grandson so thin from hunger!"
