"Shut up!" Lin Xiangyi finally broke down. She blushed and pulled her hand back. She turned around and glared at Xie Qingxiao angrily. Then she remembered that Xie Qingxiao might not be able to see her expression in the dark, so she retracted her hand.
After this back and forth, her anger had almost subsided, and she said in a tone that sounded like she was angry, "I understand."
Xie Qingxiao immediately went down the stairs, leaned over and kissed her comfortingly: "Are you sleepy? Have a good sleep."
Lin Xiangyi knew that he hadn't calmed down yet, so she took the initiative: "Do you want me to help you..."
"No need," Xie Qingxiao stopped her.
She offered to help him, but he refused?
Lin Xiangyi frowned and said seriously: "Xie Qingxiao, is it because I didn't tell you why I broke off relations with my father that you have a grudge in your heart? I can tell you that it's because -"
"Because your stepmother is pregnant, you hate your stepmother, and she abused you, right?" Xie Qingxiao said.
"You know?" Lin Xiangyi was surprised.
"Dad came to see me several times," Xie Qingxiao told the truth.
Lin Xiangyi's attention was instantly diverted: "He came to see you? What did he come to see you for?"
"What else can I do?" Xie Qingxiao said, "Let me comfort you."
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I didn't promise him," Xie Qingxiao said.
Lin Xiangyi reacted: "So you support me breaking up with him?"
Xie Qingxiao hummed.
Lin Xiangyi: “…” She was a little surprised and shocked.
It is said that a harmonious family brings prosperity. Nowadays, when there are conflicts in a family, most people tend to persuade them to reconcile rather than separate.
Not to mention that she and Lin Shan were father and daughter, and that they had a falling out because of her stepmother's pregnancy. To outsiders, it would be obvious that she, as a daughter, was in the wrong.
But Xie Qingxiao stood on her side!
Lin Xiangyi was somewhat touched. She moved closer to Xie Qingxiao, snuggled into his arms, and asked, "Do you have anything else you want to ask?"
Xie Qingxiao hugged her body, looked down at her docile appearance, and softened his heart a little, and compromised: "If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask."
A bit of a duplicity.
Lin Xiangyi didn't hear it, and she looked up and kissed him: "Xie Qingxiao, thank you for understanding me so well."
Xie Qingxiao: "..."
Lin Xiangyi noticed that Xie Qingxiao's reaction had not subsided yet, so he said, "How about I help you?"
Having said that, he did not allow Xie Qingxiao to refuse and reached out his hand.
Xie Qingxiao did not refuse anymore and hugged her tightly.
The couple reconciled at the speed of light after their first conflict - at least that's what Lin Xiangyi thought.
She thought Xie Qingxiao respected and accepted her statement that couples also need independent space.
She was somewhat delighted, and was also touched that Xie Qingxiao could understand her and stand on her side regarding the relationship between her and her father, and she became even closer and more intimate with Xie Qingxiao.
The next day, when Xie Qingxiao came back with the goods, she took the initiative to give Xie Qingxiao some water to wipe his sweat, and her smiling face was so gentle.
Everyone else was stunned by what they saw. Is the relationship between this couple getting warmer?
In the afternoon, Lin Xiangyi followed Xie Qingxiao to the workshop to take a look, and also made some mung bean soup and gave it to the masters who were building the house.
The masters were all hired by Village Chief He, so their skills are naturally good.
Of course, Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi did not treat them unfairly.
The wages are above average, and the food is better than other places. So the masters work very hard.
The workshop is designed relatively simply, with a total of three rooms in the east, west and north. The north room is the largest, with a total area of more than 80 square meters. It is used for braised meat in the kitchen. The rooms on both sides are smaller and can be used as offices, lounges and utility rooms.
There is a large yard outside, which will be surrounded by bricks in a couple of days.
A well was also dug in the middle of the yard.
"We need to add some furniture," Lin Xiangyi said to Xie Qingxiao, and all the pots, pans, tables, chairs, and benches needed to be purchased.
"I know," Xie Qingxiao said, "I'll go find a carpenter to make some furniture later, and I'll buy the other things when I get back from the delivery."
"Yeah," Lin Xiangyi took Xie Qingxiao's hand, turned around and saw the eyes of the builders who were looking at them vaguely.
She pretended nothing had happened and let go of Xie Qingxiao.
Xie Qingxiao followed her gaze and looked at the masters.
These masters are all from the same village and they all know Xie Qingxiao.
It was well known in the village that Xie Qingxiao was a gangster and married a beautiful city girl.
When Xie Qingxiao first married Lin Xiangyi, the men in the village were envious, but they inevitably had some dark thoughts in their hearts -
How could a second-rate person like Xie Qingxiao, who was idle and did nothing, possibly keep such a good wife? After marriage, they would either live in chaos or get divorced sooner or later.
These masters were basically twice as old as Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi, and they didn't have so many bad intentions, but they had heard other people's discussions. Now that they saw with their own eyes how Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi got along, they felt that the people in the village were really spreading rumors.
The young couple is very loving.
After the chefs finished eating, Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi cleaned up the dishes and took them home.
"The sun is not very strong today, so I want to take a walk before going back. If you want to find a carpenter to make furniture, just go ahead. I can leave these dirty dishes for me to wash when I get back," Lin Xiangyi said to Xie Qingxiao.
"I'll wash it when I get home," Xie Qingxiao didn't stop her when he heard her say she wanted to go for a walk, "Be careful."
"Okay," Lin Xiangyi waved her hand and separated from Xie Qingxiao.
She walked along the path in the village and met many villagers passing by.
She noticed that everyone she met, regardless of gender, smiled at her kindly and eagerly, and many even took the initiative to greet her.
Lin Xiangyi could match some of the people she met but not others. She was also a little puzzled as to why these people were so enthusiastic towards her.
After all, among the people she met, she remembered that some of them had helped the Lu family during the confrontation between them on the day of her wedding to Xie Qingxiao.
At this time, Lin Xiangyi saw Sister Feng face to face.
Before she could call out to Sister Feng, Sister Feng called out to her in surprise, "Ah Xiao, why did you come out?"
"I came out for a walk," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile.
"Oh, that's strange. You've been married for so long, but you never go out of the house. I thought you were a secluded woman... cough cough," Fengjie reacted and quickly swallowed back the ridicule that was about to come out of her mouth.
Lin Xiangyi had been married for a while, and had occasionally interacted with Sister Feng. She knew that she was just a bit mean, so she looked at Sister Feng with a half-smile: "You said I was a secluded young lady who never left the house, right?"
"Hey, how beautiful and elegant is that young lady in the boudoir? I'm praising you," Sister Feng said hurriedly.
This time it was Lin Xiangyi's turn to look at her in surprise: "Sister Feng, your mouth doesn't stink today."
Fengjie: “…” I see that your mouth smells quite bad today.
