Wang Youyou understands him.
She knew that this man would avoid the issue of divorce.
She glanced at his profile thoughtfully, picked up the dumplings, and said lightly as she walked out, "I've made them before, so I know how to make them."
Lu Xingfei remembered that she had a rich uncle, and guessed that she might have learned it at her uncle's house, so he didn't think much about it.
After he cooked the rice, he immediately started to mince the pork to prepare the pork meatballs in soup.
Wang Youyou was like a woman in charge of the household. She brought out the dumplings, politely asked the guests to eat them, and then chatted with them with a smile.
After a brief chat, she went to do other things.
However, she refused to help in the kitchen.
It’s not that she is lazy, it’s that she doesn’t want to work in the kitchen with Lu Xingfei.
Also, she thinks home is a private place, and she really doesn't like a group of people coming to her house for dinner, as it's noisy and annoying.
If everyone wants to have a meal together, they can book a room outside. They don’t have to clean the room or worry about the food not being to other people’s liking. It’s much easier and more worry-free!
After eating a few dumplings, Lu Jinfeng couldn't bear to let Lu Xingfei cook for everyone alone.
Today is her birthday, and she should be the one cooking.
She pulled Chen Qiuxia to help in the kitchen.
Seeing this, Li Hanrong hurried over to help.
For a moment, Wang Youyou and Zhang Jingxu were the only ones left in the living room.
Zhang Jingxu walked over and wanted to talk to Wang Youyou, and happened to meet Wang Youyou's gaze.
He turned away subconsciously, his expression embarrassed.
Wang Youyou looked at him steadily, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
She continued to arrange the books on the shelf and asked casually, "Captain Zhang, how is your mother's health?"
"My mother is in good health." Zhang Jingxu felt in his pocket and took out a dragonfly woven out of bamboo.
"Sister-in-law, look at this bamboo dragonfly, do you like it?"
Wang Youyou turned her head and glanced at the bamboo dragonfly in his hand, then looked up at him again, and asked doubtfully, "What's the matter? Are you... going to give it to me?"
Zhang Jingxu lied without blushing or beating his heart, "It's not me who wants to give it to you, it's Old Lu who wants to give it to you, but he's afraid you'll be angry with him, so he's embarrassed to give it to you, so I'm giving it to you on his behalf. I hope you can understand him. He's never been in a relationship, and sometimes he speaks too bluntly, which hurts your feelings."
Wang Youyou saw through his trick at a glance.
It was just as she had guessed.
If Lu Xingfei wanted to give her something, why didn’t he deliver it in person?
He must have lied to her.
She bluntly exposed him: "Captain Zhang, you can keep it as a gift for Sister Jingting! You don't have to speak well of Lu Xingfei. My husband and I just had a small quarrel. It's okay. Don't worry too much about us."
Zhang Jingxu was stunned and his face became even more embarrassed.
How could he forget that the person in front of him was no ordinary person, she was the extremely smart Wang Youyou!
Seeing that he was embarrassed, Wang Youyou sighed inwardly, took the bamboo dragonfly from his hand, and held it in her hand to observe it carefully.
This bamboo dragonfly is made of thin bamboo strips. It is only the size of an egg and is very exquisite. It can be seen that it was woven by a careful and skilled craftsman.
As she looked at it, she said, "Captain Zhang, you're so kind to Jingting. By the way, how much did you pay for this bamboo dragonfly?"
Her eyelashes are very long and she blinks her eyes like a doll.
Zhang Jingxu didn't dare look at her any longer. He looked at the bookshelf and answered seriously, "One dollar. I bought it at the entrance of the vegetable market today."
"One dollar?" Wang Youyou was shocked and quickly returned the bamboo dragonfly to him. "Isn't that too expensive?"
One dollar is a day's wages for an ordinary worker.
Zhang Jingxu put the bamboo dragonfly back into his pocket and said, "It's not expensive. It's sold by an old man. It's not easy for him to come here from the countryside. He can't sell all of them, so he has to sleep in the corner of the street. He continues selling them the next day until he sells all of them and can go home."
Wang Youyou listened attentively and exclaimed sincerely, "Captain Zhang, you are such a kind person!"
Zhang Jingxu thought of the old man and said sadly, "I just did what I could. I heard from the vendors next to me that the old man brought a bag of steamed buns from home. I don't know how many there were, but he would eat one when he was hungry. Sometimes, he would only eat two steamed buns and drink a few sips of water in a day."
Wang Youyou was so moved that her nose felt sore. She covered her mouth and tears flowed out.
Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, looked at her, startled by her, and asked hesitantly, "Sister-in-law, you...why are you crying?"
Wang Youyou wiped her tears with toilet paper and asked in a choked voice, "I'm fine. I'm just a little touched. How much of that old man you mentioned does he have left to sell?"
She wants to help out on her way to work tomorrow.
Zhang Jingxu smiled sheepishly and said, "They're all sold out today. I bought the last one."
Wang Youyou breathed a sigh of relief, luckily they were sold out.
When Li Hanrong came back from getting water, he saw the two of them, one crying and the other laughing, and a hint of doubt appeared in his heart.
Why does Lao Zhang look at his sister-in-law with eyes full of doting?
This isn't like a normal person.
Could it be that my sister-in-law divorced because of Lao Zhang?
Thinking of this, he quickly put the bucket into the kitchen and forcibly pulled Lu Xingfei out, "Old Lu, you should spend more time with your sister-in-law! Leave the kitchen to us!"
Lu Xingfei couldn't persuade him, so he had to take off his apron and give it to him.
Zhang Jingxu saw Lu Xingfei coming out and said to Wang Youyou, "Sister-in-law, you talk to Old Lu. I'm going to the bathroom."
After saying that, he greeted Lu Xingfei and left.
Wang Youyou saw Lu Xingfei, turned around and went back to her room and closed the door.
