Chapter 72 Egg Cake
The Xia family is two or three miles away.
Xia Lulu was lying on the big wooden bed in the bedroom, wrapped in a quilt with her head buried in it.
Outside the wall, Liu Mei was holding a bowl of chicken soup, leaning against the door, and knocking cautiously:
"Lulu, Third Brother...are you coming out for dinner?"
Xia Lulu suddenly threw back the quilt:
"It's so annoying!"
She sat up irritably, staring at the door with her eyes wide open, and yelled:
"I said I won't eat me! Don't bother me! I want to sleep!"
After saying this, he suddenly lay back on the bed.
Liu Mei couldn't help but sigh, and turned around with the chicken soup, only to see Xia Dong standing behind her, staring at her.
"Oh my! You scared me to death!"
The chicken soup in her hand almost spilled out, and Liu Mei managed to calm herself down. She patted her chest and said:
"Dongzi, why are you standing behind me? Isn't this scary?"
Xia Dong made a "tsk" sound, pointed inside and asked his mother:
"Mom, when is Xia Lulu going to leave?"
Sister Liu put the chicken soup back on the table and said:
"Didn't your sister have a fight with Xie Minghui? She finally got a few days to sleep at home, and as a brother, you still despise her?"
She looked at Xia Dong, feeling unhappy:
"Don't forget how your sister helped you when you got married. If she hadn't paid for it, would you have been able to get married?"
"Isn't that the same thing as before?"
There was impatience in Xia Dong's voice:
"I don't have anything against her, but look at her now. She's occupying my and Xinyue's room. How can we sleep? We've had to sleep on the floor in the living room for the past few days!"
"Mom, she can't let Xinyue and I be childless just because she herself has never had a child, right?"
"Pooh, pooh, pooh! You kid! What are you talking about!"
Sister Liu was so obsessed with her grandson that she spat loudly on the spot.
She looked into Xia Lulu's room and pulled Xia Dong to the balcony:
"Don't always want to chase her away. While she's at home these two days, you should coax her out of whatever you want."
At this point, Xia Dong felt uncomfortable again:
"Mom, didn't you tell her to buy us a house? What can I do if she doesn't do anything?"
Liu Mei curled her lips:
"That house is so expensive, and you can't just buy it if you want to, right? If you want her to buy it, you should coax her a little more. Anyway, your sister is soft-hearted, so just be patient and say a few nice words to her. Then you will even have the house. Why are you still fussing about this bedroom?"
After saying that, he went to clean the table.
Xia Dong curled his lips.
After a while, Wang Xinyue came back with a hot egg cake in her hand.
"Did you buy it back?"
Xia Dong took it, weighed it, held his breath, walked to the door and started knocking again:
"Lulu... come out and eat some egg cakes..."
Just as she was calling out, the door suddenly opened from the inside.
Xia Lulu walked out with disheveled hair. Seeing Wang Xinyue standing at the door looking at her, she reached out and smoothed the hair on her cheek.
Wang Xinyue smiled good-temperedly:
"Lulu, I just bought this egg cake from outside. Isn't this your favorite?"
Xia Lulu then took it, opened the brown paper and started eating.
Xia Dong looked at Xia Lulu's absent-minded look and smiled:
"Look, your sister-in-law treats you well. I tell you, don't take Xie Minghui and the others seriously, they are all shit! If you want to talk about the people who treat you well, it has to be your mother's family!"
Xia Lulu glanced at him and said while stuffing egg cake into her mouth:
"Stop sweet-talking me. Buying a house is impossible!"
Xia Dong couldn't sit still anymore and glared at him:
"Xia Lulu, I haven't said anything yet! What do you mean?"
Xia Lulu didn't say anything, but she was thinking, don't you know what I mean?
To be honest, both Liu Mei and Xia Dong have been negotiating with her about the house for several months.
Even Xia Dashan mentioned it to her several times with his mouth open unclearly.
Xia Lulu didn't give in. In fact, the more they urged her, the more upset she felt.
The whole family really thinks she is a fool. They are trying so hard to coax her, just to get her to buy an apartment for Xia Dong to live in?
Everyone kept asking Xia Dong for help, but who really noticed her difficulties?
Besides, she really doesn't have the money to buy a house.
Last year, she did make some money by reselling.
But that was last year after all!
Has she not eaten, worn clothes, or bought anything in the past year?
Doesn't she have to buy all the food, clothing and daily necessities for the family?
Not only does she have to take care of her own family, she also has to take care of her mother-in-law and her parents' home. With so many expenses, how much money should she earn to be considered enough?
Not only are they inconsiderate, but now they want her to buy a house?
She was kicked out by Xie Minghui and had no place to live, so how could she buy a house for Xia Dong?
Xia Lulu felt bitter inside, but she couldn't say a word.
She just felt like an inflated balloon, supported by only one breath, and she couldn't pass on any flaws to others.
If she really let out this sigh of relief, these people would eat her alive.
She put the last bite of the egg cake into her mouth. The egg cake was still soft and sweet, but when it entered her mouth, she could hardly feel the sweetness.
She looked at Xia Dong with a proud look:
"Don't act so arrogant in front of me. I tell you, the more you ask for it, the less I will give it to you!"
"you!"
Xia Dong was so angry that he clenched his fists, but Wang Xinyue pulled him aside.
Wang Xinyue smiled ingratiatingly at Xia Lulu:
"Lulu, don't take it personally with your brother. He just has a bad temper and doesn't mean any harm at all."
Xia Lulu snorted, not wanting to look at her sister-in-law, and just kept talking to herself:
"You must be feeling uncomfortable if I don't leave for a few days, but I tell you, Xia Dong, this is also my home!"
"I can stay as long as I want, and I can spend my money on whoever I want! If you keep arguing, I won't give you my money even if I throw it into the Yunhe River!"
"Xia Lulu, you are really out of control!"
Xia Dong's anger made her more and more excited, but there was nothing she could do. Xia Dong was so angry that he slammed the door and left.
The room fell silent again.
When Xia Lulu saw Wang Xinyue, she wanted to say something, but she turned around and went back to the house.
She didn't want to see Wang Xinyue. As soon as Wang Xinyue arrived at the Xia family, she acted like a righteous person and fooled Liu Mei and Xia Dong.
Instead, she seemed like an outsider.
But Wang Xinyue had such a bad temper that she couldn't do anything to pinch her, so she could only turn a blind eye.
She was just about to lie down on the bed again when Liu Mei came in stealthily.
He keeps spouting that “a harmonious family brings prosperity” nonsense.
Xia Lulu was annoyed and simply said:
"Mom, what are you going to do?"
Liu Mei then stammered:
"Lulu, our food...is gone..."
"If there's nothing left, let Xia Dong go buy some? Aren't they both working full-time? Can't they afford the food?"
Xia Lulu said so, but when she saw Liu Mei looking embarrassed, she pouted:
"Okay, I get it. I don't have the money right now. I'll just go home and get it."
"Hey! Hey! She's still my daughter... She's really good!"
Sister Liu uttered some flattering words again.
Xia Lulu was knocked unconscious, but she couldn't help but feel guilty as she was counting the money in her hand:
How much money does she have left now?
Do you have another five hundred?
*
Liu Mei wanted money, but Xia Lulu didn't have any, so she had to go back home again.
This time when she went back, Xia Lulu specially chose a time when Xie Minghui was not around.
For some reason, she was always a little afraid of Xie Minghui.
Especially this time, when Xie Minghui proposed to divorce her, she was really scared.
Her love for Xie Minghui was almost instinctive, but even so, she was not unaware of Xie Minghui's true character beneath his scholarly appearance.
Cold, selfish, and willing to sacrifice anything for his own benefit.
Just as he sacrificed Xia Tang in his previous life, he could treat himself the same way in this life.
When Xie Minghui gets really angry, Xia Lulu's instinct is to avoid him.
However, although she returned home when Xie Minghui went to give a lecture, she unexpectedly met her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law didn't know what she had heard, but when she saw Xia Lulu taking things from home, she started to criticize Xia Lulu for always taking things from her parents' home. She also said that if Xia Lulu continued to be so treacherous, Xie Minghui would divorce her.
It's completely different from the attitude of flattery some time ago.
Xia Lulu didn't have the energy to bother with her and ran out in a panic.
After I came out, I was faced with the busy street and felt deflated for a moment.
She should obviously go back to the Xia family.
But now, she didn't know where she could go.
The Xia family... that place is also not a good place to stay.
If they knew...
Xia Lulu shook her head vigorously.
No, they won't know anything.
Everything will be fine when Boss Zheng comes back.
Tomorrow is tomorrow.
Xia Lulu wiped her face with her hand and looked across with empty eyes, but was surprised to find that another Tang Ji had opened on the opposite street.
The bright yellow Uni-President sign hurts the eyes.
Xia Tang just came out of the store.
This is her third franchise store, which has just opened. She was asked to come over and stand for a while.
After all, Xia Tang is now a well-known figure. Some old customers who come for her will have more trust in the store when they see her at the opening ceremony.
A group of people escorted her out, like stars surrounding the moon, and she was quite eye-catching in this wide street.
Xia Lulu just watched Xia Tang being surrounded and escorted out, feeling even more uncomfortable than if she had been slapped in the face.
She just watched Xia Tang say goodbye to those people, cross the road, and walk closer and closer to her.
Xia Lulu suddenly reacted.
I wanted to leave, but it was too late.
Xia Tang saw her.
The two people's eyes met.
One becomes calm after being surprised, the other pretends to be calm after being in a panic.
Xia Lulu even deliberately puffed out her chest:
"Tsk, what are you pretending for?"
She tightened her leather jacket and brushed Xia Tang's shoulder as she walked past.
Xia Tang leaned aside, turned his head and suddenly shouted:
"Xia Lulu."
"Um?"
Xia Lulu didn't expect that she could still call her.
"The date of the thunderstorm will be these two days."
Xia Tang's eyes slightly curved:
"I advise you to turn yourself in as soon as possible and don't kill anyone."
