During Zhong Tingyue's period, Chu Fang took meticulous care of her. Only after her period was over did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Congratulations to Ms. Zhong on escaping her misery!
"Thank you very much, Mr. Chu, for your help."
"Since I helped you, shouldn't you repay me?"
Zhong Tingyue's eyes shone brightly, like stars: "Mr. Chu, what are your thoughts?"
Chu Fang stroked his chin: "Let's have a child, and then we can wipe the slate clean of our past grievances."
Zhong Tingyue: "???!!!"
Chu Fang glanced at her sideways: "Look at you, Zhong Tingyue, I misjudged you!"
She continued, "Let's go home early for dinner today, firstly to celebrate the end of your painful period, and secondly because it's Zhong Rou's birthday."
Today is my sister-in-law's birthday, which she has been looking forward to for a long time. Chu Fang thought he would celebrate with her.
"good."
... ...
Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue finished get off work at 3 p.m. and returned to the Tanhua residential area along the street.
Before entering the residential area, I went to the farmers' market to buy groceries.
"Oh, Miss Zhong, it's you again." The vegetable vendor said to Zhong Tingyue.
"I have something to do and haven't been living nearby lately."
"You'd better move back as soon as possible," the vegetable vendor said sincerely.
Zhong Tingyue: "Huh?"
The vegetable vendor said helplessly, "Ever since you left, your fiancé has become even more unreasonable, arguing with us for a long time every day over just a few cents."
“He can keep his distance when you’re around. For our sake, don’t live outside. Move back to the neighborhood. If that’s not possible, my family has a house nearby that you can live in for free.”
Zhong Tingyue glanced at her fiancé, who was picking out vegetables, a faint smile appearing on her pretty face.
Chu Fang selected the vegetables, and the vegetable vendor weighed them, saying, "Five yuan and eighty cents."
"Auntie, given the friendship between us, how about a small amount, two yuan or one yuan? Or you can just give it to me."
The vegetable vendor jumped up and down, gritting her teeth: "You brat, I'll fight you to the death!"
... ...
Chu Fang spent very little money to buy vegetables, meat, and seafood, and then returned to the Tanhua residential area.
Upon entering the house, Zhong Tingyue felt extremely relaxed. She lay on the sofa, while the little yellow-haired boy wagged his tail and fawned over her.
"Ever since the tabby cat left with you, the little blond has lost his playmate and is very bored. He keeps missing Lily."
Chu Fang pulled his sleeve up to his wrist. "Where's Lily?"
"Hmm, Lily doesn't seem to have changed much."
"Heartless and ruthless!"
Zhong Tingyue rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair arms, and followed Chu Fang into the kitchen. Chu Fang was in charge of stir-frying and cooking, while Zhong Tingyue was in charge of making noodles.
They worked together as a couple, with each taking on a different role.
"Wuhu, I'm back!" Zhong Rou made her dazzling entrance as always. "Sister, I missed you so much."
Zhong Tingyue wiped away the water stains: "School's evening self-study session isn't over yet, is it?"
Only then did the last rays of the setting sun begin to fade.
Zhong Rou said, "I've taken leave."
... ...
At this moment, in the school office, Zhong Rou's homeroom teacher was looking at the leave request: "Teacher, I'm feeling a little unwell and would like to request leave from evening self-study. I hope you will approve it."
The homeroom teacher slapped his forehead: "Oh dear!"
Zhong Rou, how can you have so many tricks up your sleeve?!
... ...
Since it was her birthday, Zhong Tingyue didn't pursue the matter of her younger sister taking leave. The food was ready, so she brought it out: spicy soup, tofu dishes, stir-fried sea cucumber with scallions... mostly Henan cuisine.
Apart from Chu Fang and his two companions, no one else was invited to this birthday party; it was just a simple home-cooked meal.
As the three of them ate, Zhong Rou suddenly lowered her head and said, "Sister, I miss Mom and Dad. In the past, Mom would make me braised noodles for my birthday."
Zhong Tingyue patted her younger sister on the back of the head, then went into the kitchen and brought out a bowl of braised noodles: "Eat up."
After Zhong Rou took a few bites, Zhong Tingyue asked, "How does it taste?"
"Report your food!"
“... ..."
Chu Fang poured himself a glass of red wine, took a small sip, and looked around the house, feeling quite comfortable.
Since Zhong Tingyue left, they haven't sat down together for a casual meal like this in a long time.
I didn't think much of it at first, but after a while, I started to miss those days.
Humans are just like that; they only realize the value of something when they lose it.
Thinking of this, Chu Fang glared angrily at Zhong Tingyue, who asked, "Why are you staring at me?"
"Zhong Tingyue, you're so despicable!"
“... ..."
After dinner, the three went for a walk and soon arrived at the mall. Chu Fang said, "Zhong Rou, today is your birthday. What birthday present do you want?"
Zhong Rou asked, "Can I tell you?"
Chu Fang nodded: "Of course, as long as I can do it."
"World peace!"
Upon hearing this, the two young men who had just finished get off work nearby perked up.
This is the ambition and dream of today's promising young people!
Not for money, not for personal gain.
The two young men looked at Zhong Rou with eyes full of admiration and respect.
Chu Fang: "...Could you make some realistic requests?"
The words 'world peace' stirred Chu Fang's blood, but when he thought that Zhong Rou had said them, he realized how unreliable they seemed.
Zhong Rou harbors a violent streak deep within her, and sometimes she wishes the world were more chaotic. Only in a chaotic world can there be many injustices, allowing Zhong Rou's chivalry to be displayed.
Fortunately, Zhong Rou was born in modern times. If she had been born in ancient times, Chu Fang couldn't imagine what earth-shattering things his sister-in-law would have done.
Zhong Rou thought for a moment and said, "I'll compromise. Then give me one billion."
The two young men next to him were utterly shocked.
One billion?
You might as well say world peace.
Chu Fang: "Ten billion isn't much, but you have to ask your sister first. As long as she agrees, I'll transfer ten billion to you immediately."
Zhong Rou turned her gaze to Zhong Tingyue: "Sister, if you agree, I'll give you half."
Zhong Tingyue laughed: "Isn't your brother-in-law's money the same as my money? Why should I share half of my money with you?"
The two young men watched as Chu Fang and his companions left, chatting and laughing. They looked at each other, puzzled. "Is this for real?"
"It must be fake. A billion yuan, not ghost money, how could it be given to someone so easily?"
"That's right, that's right."
"Show-off!"
Two young men were waiting for a taxi after renting out a shop in the mall when they suddenly saw Zhong Rou wearing a new pair of sneakers. Since they were in the sneaker business, they could tell at a glance that the sneakers were the most valuable pair in their shop, with an autograph from an NBA superstar.
And those autographed sneakers are now on Zhong Rou's feet, bouncing around as she kicks an empty water bottle off the ground, sending it soaring into the air.
"Those are rare sneakers worth tens of thousands of US dollars."
"Can't you show some respect?"
The two young men looked at each other, and for a moment they felt as if the sky had fallen.
"It seems... what they're saying is true..."
