Tian Xiaohui was so angry she couldn't stand it.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she unloaded the floor cart she was carrying onto the ground and said angrily, "Sister-in-law, you have no idea how outrageous their school is. They actually refused to give us any money!"
Qin Xiang'e's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant, but she still corrected in a low voice, "It's not that we don't want to pay, it's just that we don't have much money right now, and we should go again next week..."
After saying that, she glanced at Ye Yun with concern. She and Tian Xiaohui had messed things up.
So, she felt a little guilty and scared.
Today, following Ye Yun's instructions, she delivered mung bean cakes to the school before lunchtime.
Everything was fine until the mung bean cakes were unloaded and distributed to the students in the cafeteria.
Around 2 PM, she and Tian Xiaohui went to ask the person for the remaining payment, but the fat, big-eared man said he had no money and told them to come back next week.
Tian Xiaohui didn't understand the concept of being broke or not; she just knew she had to pay back the money she owed them.
She tried to cause trouble, but they just called the school gatekeeper, who threw them both out.
They had no choice but to sit at the school gate until dark.
In the end, there was really no other way.
After being persuaded by the school gatekeeper, they had no choice but to take the purchase receipt and go home.
Qin Xiang'e remembered the purchase receipt in her pocket, which was the document issued by the school before, and quickly took it out and handed it to Ye Yun, "Look, our receipt is still here!"
Ye Yun nodded.
She put the certificate under her pillow and smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, with this, they can't renege on their debt even if they want to. They told us to go next week, so we'll go next week. I'll go in person next week."
Tian Xiaohui nodded repeatedly, "Okay, sister-in-law, you must teach them a lesson when the time comes."
"You think your sister-in-law is a goddess? You should teach them a lesson, but I think it's more appropriate to teach you a lesson instead." Qin Zheng sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), his tone icy.
Tian Xiaohui was dumbfounded. "What did I do now? Why are you criticizing me again?"
Qin Zheng glanced at Ye Yun, a hint of jealousy in his voice: "Didn't your sister-in-law say that this business was brought to you by someone surnamed Tan? Isn't someone surnamed Tan a teacher at the school? If the school doesn't pay you, why don't you go find someone else?"
"ah?"
Tian Xiaohui was taken aback.
Damn it, she forgot about that!
Qin Zheng knew he was pretty much right from her expression, and he couldn't help but laugh in exasperation. "Tian Xiaohui, what's wrong with your brain? It's normal that my aunt is old and can't think of this, but you didn't even think of it?"
Tian Xiaohui scratched the back of her head sheepishly, "Please don't talk about me, Brother Qin Zheng..."
Qin Zheng snorted.
Ye Yun flicked Qin Zheng's forehead and scolded, "Why are you always so fierce to Xiao Hui?"
"Huh?" Qin Zheng was stunned by the flick, and looked at Ye Yun while touching his head.
Tian Xiaohui also regained consciousness.
"That's right! Brother Qin Zheng! Why are you always so mean to me! What did I do to you!" She snorted unhappily, crossed her arms, and leaned against the wall, sulking.
It was Tan Zongguang who wanted to steal his wife, not her!
Qin Zheng was speechless. How could she be in the right for not handling things properly?
Turning his head, Qin Zheng saw Ye Yun's disapproving gaze. He immediately raised his hands in surrender, and said in a helpless tone with a hint of doting, "Okay, okay, I admit defeat, alright?"
He gave Tian Xiaohui a very serious look and said, "I was the one who was mean, don't be angry."
Tian Xiaohui snorted again.
Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh.
She patted Qin Zheng on the shoulder to comfort him, then walked over to Tian Xiaohui and said, "Your brother Qin Zheng doesn't blame you. This isn't your fault. I think it's probably because Tan Zongguang didn't communicate well with their school, or maybe they really don't have the money. It's okay. You must be tired. I made something delicious tonight. Why don't you stay and have dinner with us?"
Tian Xiaohui's eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"
"real."
Ye Yun put her arm around Qin Xiang'e's shoulder and walked out. Seeing this, Qin Xiang'e quickly followed.
"Hey, wife?"
Seeing that Ye Yun and Tian Xiaohui were about to leave, Qin Zheng called out anxiously.
However, Ye Yun didn't turn her head.
Qin Zheng was sitting inside when he heard Tian Xiaohui excitedly ask Ye Yun outside, "Sister-in-law, what delicious food did you make tonight?"
"Take a guess..."
The coaxing voice was incredibly gentle. Qin Zheng sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) with a displeased expression, but he dared not disobey Ye Yun's order to stay on the kang for half a month. He could only peek through the small window at Ye Yun, who was being nestled against by Tian Xiaohui.
No way, he's going to be so angry!
He's getting increasingly annoyed with Tian Xiaohui, and it's definitely not his fault!
That's his wife, his wife!
...
The next day, Gu Jin arrived with Qin Xiang'e and Tian Xiaohui, who had finished setting up their stall and were heading home.
Qin Zheng had previously agreed to work for the transport team, but now that he has injured his leg, his reporting date has to be postponed. Gu Jin only found out about this today when she ran into Qin Xiang'e in town.
Gu Jin said, "I only heard about Zheng Song coming to your area to arrest the murderer a couple of days ago. I didn't know you were bravely injured."
Qin Zheng tugged at the corner of his lips.
Gu Jin continued to mock, "Qin Zheng, you're not good enough. You were attacked by so many people before and you weren't hurt. How come you're injured like this by just one murderer?"
Qin Zheng's lips twitched again.
Ye Yun poured a glass of water for each of them and explained with a smile, "I mean, is it possible that his leg injury wasn't sustained while fighting the murderer?"
Gu Jin was stunned. "Huh?"
