Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 1112 What if the disabled boss can’t get better? (7)
Seeing that Ye Jin didn't take him seriously at all, as if he didn't hear what he said, Jiang Rushong became even angrier and said a lot of sarcastic words, but still couldn't arouse any emotional fluctuations in Ye Jin. He suddenly felt like a woman who was unreasonable after being ignored by her husband, and he became even more angry and ashamed.
But Ye Jin simply ignored him and watched his brother-in-law play, leisurely enjoying his free time after get off work.
The rich aroma of food soon wafted through the house. Xiang Shichu was a great cook and she brought her talent to full play. Even little Xiang Nan, who had never eaten much oily food, smelled the aroma and his saliva almost soaked his collar. His pair of dark eyes stared towards the kitchen with a look of longing.
After looking for a while, he slapped Ye Jin's leg rudely, then pointed to the kitchen with his chubby hand and shouted at Ye Jin, as if asking Ye Jin to carry him back to the kitchen.
Seeing his greedy look, Ye Jin couldn't help but smile, so he followed his wishes, picked him up and walked towards the kitchen.
Xiang Shichu was cooking pork stuffed with tofu. When he saw them coming in, he said, "The food isn't ready yet. You guys can go out and play first. There's no rush."
While she was talking, little Xiang Nan looked at the food in the pot, his saliva suddenly dripped in lines, his pair of chubby legs jumped excitedly, and his little hands could not wait to reach for the food in the pot.
"You little greedy cat! Ye Jin, quickly hold him away, his saliva is about to fall into the pot!" Xiang Shichu hurriedly shouted at Ye Jin.
Ye Jin also saw Xiang Nan's saliva and froze for a moment. When Xiang Shichu urged him, he reached out his hand to wipe Xiang Nan's saliva in a daze. Only after he finished wiping it did he realize what he had done.
Xiang Shichu was stunned for a moment when he saw his action, then he looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "Ye Jin, I didn't expect you to be so kind to the child. I myself dislike Xiang Nan's saliva, but you wiped it off with your hands. I misunderstood you before. You are a kind person with a cold face but a warm heart."
Ye Jin was not very happy to receive Xiang Shichu's praise. Only then did he feel the sticky saliva belonging to Xiang Nan on his hand. He got goose bumps all over his body. Then, as if being chased by a dog, he held Xiang Nan in one hand and left the other hand empty, and hurried to the yard to fetch water to wash his hands.
When Xiang Shichu saw his fleeing back, he immediately chuckled. It was rare to see Ye Jin's expression change.
The delicious smell coming from the Ye family's house made Jiang Yong and Jiang Yi cry again. Wu Qingxuan and Jiang Rushong hated Ye Jin and Xiang Shichu even more for this. Wu Qingxuan secretly cursed Xiang Shichu for being so showy in her heart. She also thought that with the amount of meat and fish she ate every day, she would definitely eat the Ye family out of money in the future. Let's see what she can show off with then!
Jiang Rushong felt that the reason why the Ye family ate so well every day must be that the family had left behind some wealth. It was a pity that when his mother was sick and went to borrow money from them, they refused, causing his mother to die. Jiang Rushong remembered this grudge all the time, but it was a pity that he had no way to deal with Ye Jin. Now that he was disabled, he could not seek revenge on him. Every time he thought of this, Jiang Rushong's teeth almost broke.
Xiang Shichu and Ye Jin didn't know that their good food had caused resentment from the couple next door, but even if they knew, they wouldn't care. Could it be that if they didn't eat well, the couple wouldn't be hostile to them? Impossible.
The dinner prepared by Xiang Shichu was a delicious meal for the family of three. Even someone as indifferent as Ye Jin ate one more bowl of rice than usual.
After the meal, Ye Jincai said to Xiang Shichu: "I will go to Haicheng on a business trip next week. I will be gone for a week. I will give you the living expenses for next month."
Xiang Shichu listened, shook his head and said, "I still have money in my hand, so you don't need to give me living expenses for the time being. You should keep more money on you when you go on a business trip just in case. Also, be careful about safety. I heard that you may encounter robbers when you take a car now."
Ye Jin glanced at her calmly: "I know, but I still have to give you the money. Xiang Nan is still young. If he gets sick, he must be sent to the hospital in time. Don't be reluctant to spend the money."
Seeing this, Xiang Shichu did not refuse. Ye Jin was indeed a very responsible man. As long as they were included in his protection circle, he would do his best to protect his family, even though Xiang Shichu and he were only nominally married and Xiang Nan had no blood relationship with him.
A few days later, Ye Jin really went on a business trip, leaving only Xiang Shichu and Xiang Nan at home. She looked at the money, food coupons, cloth coupons and other things Ye Jin gave her, and felt that she could not rely solely on Ye Jin for support, otherwise wouldn't she and Xiang Nan be considered shameless people who were clinging to him?
But she had a child less than a year old, so it was not convenient for her to do business. She thought about it and felt that she could contribute to newspapers or magazines. The royalties were not small nowadays. If a few of her articles were accepted every month, it would be enough to support herself and Xiang Nan.
A few years ago, when the original owner's parents were still alive, she studied until the first year of high school. Later, other family members refused to let her continue studying, so she had to give up. Three years ago, when the college entrance examination was resumed, her father was ill and other family members did not agree with her taking the exam, so she did not go. Then her father died and her mother had a difficult childbirth, and she was forced to get married in a hurry, so she had no time to take the college entrance examination.
After marrying Ye Jin, she had to take care of her younger brother and the family, so she gave up on taking the college entrance examination.
The soul was replaced by Shi Chu. Shi Chu had no idea how many times she had taken the college entrance examination. This time, she had no interest in taking the exam again. She just wanted to find an easy and convenient job to make money while taking care of Xiang Nan. After much thought, the only thing she had relatively free time for was writing.
So Xiang Shichu, who had found a way to make a living, bought many newspapers and some popular magazines. Since she wanted to submit articles, she had to familiarize herself with the styles of these newspapers and magazines and confirm the types they liked so that she could "prescribe the right medicine."
After three days of careful research to understand the style of newspapers and magazines of the era, she began to conceive what she was going to write.
She has traveled through so many worlds and has been a writer and editor many times, so it won't be difficult for her to start over again this time.
By the time Ye Jin returned home from his business trip, she had already written more than 20,000 words with great enthusiasm. She wrote about Qingcao, a little girl born in the countryside. Her family favored boys over girls. She had to do a lot of heavy and tiring work since she was a child, and had to endure the scolding from her family, who said that she was a money-loser and would be thrown away sooner or later.
She had lived in a family that favored boys over girls since she was born, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with being treated this way, so she just accepted it and thought that everything would be fine when she grew up and got married.
