"Kong Wanwan, watch your mouth! Not everyone wants to be your husband's ex-lover!"
"Du Wenli, please find someone to start construction on your new house as soon as possible. If you don't find someone to start construction in the next two days, I don't mind finding someone for you!
"If you don't have money to pay for labor, I can lend it to you first. You can write me an IOU and pay it back slowly!"
"Shen Xiaobei, who needs you to borrow money? I, Kong Wanwan, have plenty of money. I don't need you to be so attentive!"
"Okay, since you're so rich and you dislike me so much, afraid that I'll steal your man, then please find someone to build your new house quickly! We won't live under the same roof anymore, so everyone can have peace and quiet, how nice!"
"Hmph, don't worry, we'll take care of our new house ourselves! There's no need for you to meddle in our business!"
Kong Wanwan's competitiveness and her insistence on saving face just hit the mark for Shen Xiaobei.
It would be better if she didn't have to spend any money or effort on their new house. Wouldn't it be better if she could save the money and buy some food or other daily necessities?
After finding out about the croton, she had originally just wanted to take this opportunity to cook and eat separately from the couple.
After all, she had to feed the meals she had spent so much effort on to two people she didn't like every day, and these people kept trying to make fun of her every now and then. It was an unpleasant thing no matter how she thought about it.
Unexpectedly, not only did this goal achieve itself, but it also helped them to speed up the construction of the new house without her having to advance the money.
It was worth it for her to get up early today and go to investigate on her own.
After dinner, Shen Xiaobei struck while the iron was hot and immediately persuaded everyone to follow Kong Wanwan and Du Wenli and his wife to separate the kitchen utensils, tableware, food, and vegetable garden into two parts.
Kong Wanwan naturally took some advantage.
However, Shen Xiaobei didn't care. Let her take some, then she could take some. As long as they could eat their own food from now on, it would be a happy event.
They cooked dinner separately that day.
Kong Wanwan put the rice into the pot first and asked Du Wenli to come in and light the fire.
Du Wenli frowned, somewhat reluctantly, but still had to sit in front of the stove.
"Light up the stove outside, I'm going to cook!"
"Oh, the fire in that stove is too strong. The rice is about to burn. Can't you smell it?"
"Don't add too much firewood to the stove outside. The vegetables have already been shoveled up. Are you blind?"
"You can't even light a fire! You're so stupid! I might as well do it myself!"
Du Wenli really didn't know how to light a fire. Once he sat in front of the stove, he kept his head down and just kept stuffing firewood into the two stove holes, for fear that the fire would go out if it was too small.
Seeing that he was so clumsy at lighting the fire and didn't even look up to see what was going on in the pot, Kong Wanwan kept scolding him.
Du Wenli couldn't stand it any longer and angrily said to her: "Then come alone!"
"I come alone? Do you want to eat ready-made food every day? Du Wenli, you're dreaming. I'm your wife, not a nanny who cooks for you!"
"I'm already being very kind to you by only letting you light a fire. Don't be ungrateful!"
"In two or three months, when my belly gets bigger, I'll tell you, cooking will be your job! You can't even light a fire now, how are you going to cook for me in the future? Do you really want me to cook for you every day with a big belly?"
"The stove outside is still burning. Can't you see me trying to continue cooking? How stupid! I need someone to teach me how to light a fire!"
Fan Huifang, Shen Xiaobei and others are planning to eat hand-rolled noodles in the evening.
After they rolled out the noodles on the big dining table in the main hall, when they walked to the kitchen door, they heard Kong Wanwan scolding Du Wenli in a sarcastic manner.
Du Wenli sat in front of the stove with his head hung down, lighting a fire. There seemed to be some black ash on the tip of his nose, and some broken firewood on his hair.
Looks quite embarrassed.
"Xiaobei, why don't we cook it later!"
"Why wait? We're cooking on our own stove, it won't bother anyone!"
Seeing Du Wenli being scolded like this by Kong Wanwan, Fan Huifang felt a little embarrassed to stay in the kitchen cooking noodles at this time and felt quite awkward.
But Shen Xiaobei insisted on cooking it now, so the two of them went in.
They will have to get used to this situation eventually, and it is better to get used to it sooner rather than later.
Seeing the two of them come in, Kong Wanwan rolled her eyes in annoyance, snorted coldly, and slowed down her cooking.
Then he put away his previous anger, forced a fake smile, and said in a gentle tone: "Wenli, make the fire a little smaller!"
Seeing her expression change so quickly, she always likes to be so pretentious.
Fan Huifang and Shen Xiaobei both found it a little funny.
The two of them smiled knowingly and began to cook their hand-rolled noodles on a simple stove they had set up in the afternoon.
There was meat and green onions in the noodles, which smelled delicious. Du Wenli was a little greedy, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Kong Wanwan.
I just sighed inwardly: "Oh, I won't be able to enjoy eating this food anymore! What a miserable life!"
…
After eating the noodles, Ke Xiaoli was responsible for washing the dishes.
Shen Xiaobei immediately took a bath, then took the basin and prepared to go to the river to wash clothes.
She promised Duan Beihai that she would go to the river to wash clothes every evening for a week and wait for him to come and tell her the good news that he had already learned how to solve the Rubik's Cube.
When she went to the river to wash clothes yesterday evening, she didn't see any trace of him.
This morning she went to the river to watch the game, and she looked around but didn't see him.
"You're finally here. I've been waiting for you here for a long time!"
Before Shen Xiaobei reached the river with the basin, she saw Duan Beihai was already there. Seeing her coming, he stood up happily and spoke loudly to her.
