After calculating the time, Li Su knew that she didn't have much time left, and she needed to hurry.
She tossed the clothes in the basin a couple of times and hung them up to dry hastily. Wu Daqiang and Kong Hua would definitely be back soon, and she didn't want to leave any evidence against them.
After everything was finished, Li Su wiped the water off her hands, smiled, and went into her room.
There's something good waiting for her in a little while!
Wu Daqiang and Kong Hua left at noon and didn't return until around the afternoon. Thinking about what was about to happen, something she herself had orchestrated, Kong Hua felt incredibly resentful.
She had a long face the whole way, as if someone had offended her.
Wu Daqiang's expression was also unpleasant. He felt that Kong Hua's long face was meant to upset him and make him lose face in front of outsiders.
The reality is that Kong Hua has the right to show her displeasure, but Wu Daqiang does not, and he has to lower his head and act like a servant to coax Kong Hua under the watchful eyes of others.
Although Kong Hua still wore a blank expression, the corners of her mouth had already curved into a smile.
Kong Hua was quite pleased with Wu Daqiang's flattery, but she wouldn't show it in front of others; she wanted others to see.
She, Kong Hua, is very successful and has a high social status in her family.
Don't think that just because she doesn't interact with others, she doesn't know what her neighbors are saying about her. They're basically just calling her a barren hen.
Hmph, so what if she laid an egg? Her husband still treats them badly. Before she had children, Wu Daqiang didn't even dare to give her a hard time.
Thinking about it, she's actually living a more comfortable life; she's the one who should be envied.
Thinking about it, Kong Hua became even more arrogant, giving off a condescending attitude towards everyone else.
Those who met Kong Hua's gaze were completely bewildered. They couldn't understand why Kong Hua looked at them with such pity, since they were all doing just fine!
All the way home, Kong Hua wore a sullen expression. She felt a little better after entering the house and not seeing Li Su.
But his expression changed from feigned discomfort to genuine distress.
"snort",
With a cold snort, Kong Hua turned her head to look at Wu Daqiang's obsequious manner, feeling that he was trying to curry favor with her because of Li Su's matter.
Reason told Kong Hua that this wasn't the case; Li Su was the one who initiated the relationship.
Emotionally, Kong Hua couldn't help but imagine the worst in Wu Daqiang.
"Wu Daqiang, you have no heart."
She gave Wu Daqiang a push, and Kong Hua, with her strong body swaying, ran towards the room. She paused midway, glanced back at Wu Daqiang, and seeing that he didn't seem to be chasing after her...
Kong Hua felt even more wronged. Why was her life so miserable? Not only did she have to give away her husband, but she couldn't even receive a little comfort.
Wu Daqiang, who was pushed, staggered for a while. After finally regaining his balance, he looked up and happened to see Kong Hua slam the door shut with a loud "bang."
Judging from her voice, Kong Hua was quite angry.
Wu Daqiang was filled with questions. What happened to Kong Hua? What had he done wrong to offend her?
Realizing what he was thinking, Wu Daqiang's face darkened. He really had gotten used to being Kong Hua's lackey; he started reflecting on himself over such a small matter.
Despite his inner contempt and disdain for his subconscious self-reflection, Wu Daqiang obediently walked towards his room.
"Wife, who has made my most beautiful, kindest, and most understanding wife angry? Is it that brat Li Su? Wife, I'll go and teach her a lesson for you right now."
Kong Hua, who was sulking, initially showed a hint of joy upon hearing Wu Daqiang's voice, but then quickly composed herself.
"So you finally decided to come in!"
With a hint of complaint and a touch of surprise in her voice, Kong Hua offered to make room for Wu Daqiang to sit next to her.
Wu Daqiang, being astute, sat down next to Kong Hua as before.
"Honey, if you mind, then let it go! From now on, we'll treat Li Su like our own child. More than offspring, I want you to be happy."
Wu Daqiang emphasized the word "truly" quite a bit, knowing full well that Kong Hua wouldn't agree.
"no."
Upon hearing what Wu Daqiang said, Kong Hua immediately became displeased.
If she treats Li Su as a real child, does that mean she has to watch Li Su grow old every day while Li Su grows up?
Like two flowers, one withered and weak, the other blooming brightly—this is something the peacock flower cannot accept.
If they were really going to adopt a child, they would have already chosen a cute, young one. Li Su has been raising her for so long; they can't go back on their word, just like their initial plan.
From the very first step, there is no turning back.
Wu Daqiang was extremely pleased with himself. He knew Kong Hua was simple-minded; anyone could whisper something in her ear and it would work.
"Honey, I'm telling the truth. Don't be angry yet. Listen to me first."
As he gently pressed Kong Hua back into place, Wu Daqiang spoke with a bitter tone.
"Honey, although I really, really want a child, compared to you, a child seems insignificant. Honey, do you know, you are like the sun in my heart, bringing me joy every day."
“But do you know how many times you’ve been angry and unhappy since Li Su came to our house? Honey, I know you don’t like Li Su. How about this, we’ll think of a way to send Li Su back, and let’s forget about the child. We won’t mention it again.”
He sat there dejectedly, seemingly pondering how to send Li Su back.
Kong Hua was very tempted by what Wu Daqiang said. She glanced at him, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, gritted her teeth, and said with difficulty, "..."
"No, Wu Daqiang, you must listen to me on this matter. Sending Li Su back is absolutely out of the question."
"Wife, but you..."
Wu Daqiang looked worried, and hesitated to speak.
Kong Hua knew what Wu Daqiang was worried about, and tears instantly filled her eyes.
"Daqiang, you've thought of me your whole life, can you let me think of you just this once? Don't worry, to avoid any unforeseen complications, tonight we... no, we'll do it right away."
Fearing she might regret it at the crucial moment, Kong Hua didn't even give Wu Daqiang a chance to speak before rushing out the door.
"Li Su, you get out here and cook for me."
Li Su glanced out the window at the sky. It wasn't dark yet, not even dusk. Kong Hua's purpose in calling for cooking at this hour was obvious.
Lowering her head, reverting to her usual timid self, Li Su shakily opened the door.
"Okay, I...I understand."
Kong Hua disapproved of Li Su's appearance, but was secretly consumed by jealousy.
Why is it that Li Su, who is inferior to her in every way, can have a child for Wu Daqiang, while she, who is good at everything, cannot?
Kong Hua raised her hand, intending to lash out at Li Su as she had done before, but considering what was to come that night, she held back.
"Get out of here, get over there and cook for me right now."
Suppressing her anger, Kong Hua didn't want to see Li Su at this moment; she just wanted this annoying person to disappear from her sight as soon as possible.
