Chapter 75 I'm Not Going to Spend All My Time with the Kids and the Kitchen (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Shen Jiang gave Xu Qingmo a deep look and asked in return, "Momo, what do you think Lu Ting should do to break through?"
Xu Qingmo didn't answer immediately, but looked at Lu Ting and asked, "Do you want to give it a try?"
Lu Ting nodded firmly, "I think so."
Xu Qingmo, "How do you plan to break through?"
"I do what I can, like catching snails by the river or collecting firewood to take home."
Xu Qingmo reminded, "You can do all of these, but the premise is that you need to finish your homework and do your studies well. You can use the rest of your time as you wish."
Lu Ting became much more cheerful, and nodded with a gleam in his eyes, "I will."
Xu Qingmo turned to Shen Jiang and said, "Dad, you heard it too. Do I need to summarize it for you?"
Shen Jiang squatted down and reached out to pat Xu Qingmo's head, but Xu Qingmo pushed his hand away in dissatisfaction.
"Don't touch my head, it will stunt my growth." Although she tried her best to fit into this role, she still couldn't accept such intimate behavior as touching her head.
Shen Jiang smiled and said, "Mo Mo understands your brother's thoughts better than I do. From now on, we'll listen to you. As long as Lu Ting finishes his homework and studies, he can arrange everything else himself."
Xu Qingmo winked at Lu Ting, who jumped for joy.
The family of four ate dinner and then went to bed.
The next day, Hong Lanlan came to knock on the door early in the morning, asking Xu Qingmo when she would help find the thief.
Although Xu Qingmo knew who the thief was, the thief was very clever and had already secretly left the clothes at Hong Lanlan's house.
She currently has no evidence to prove that the clothes were stolen, so she can only play it by ear for now.
"Give me two days. After I confirm the other party's identity, I will let you know who stole it." After Xu Qingmo finished speaking, she told Hong Lanlan to go home and wait for news.
Hong Lanlan looked at Xu Qingmo in disbelief, "Weren't you always at home? How would you know who stole the clothes? Who was the person who stole the clothes?"
Hong Lanlan just wants to know who stole the clothes; she's determined to rush over and slap the person.
Xu Qingmo said, "I already said I need to confirm, can you please not be in such a hurry?"
Hong Lanlan noticed that Xu Qingmo was a little angry, so she immediately softened her tone, "Okay, okay, I was too hasty, it's my fault... Do you have any dirty clothes at home? I can help wash them."
Xu Qingmo pointed to a spot, and Hong Lanlan immediately stepped forward and took away the dirty clothes.
Xu Qingmo yawned and went back to her room for a nap.
After washing and drying the clothes, Hong Lanlan quietly left when she saw that Xu Qingmo was still asleep.
They ran into other people from the family compound and started chatting.
...
Zhou Haihong was sewing shoe soles when the awl accidentally pierced her thumb. She immediately threw the shoe on the ground and put her finger to her lips to suck the blood away.
"Cousin, is your hand injured?" Luo Zilan stepped forward and asked with concern.
Zhou Haihong looked dissatisfied and was in a mess.
"It's nothing, you don't need to worry."
Luo Zilan was about to say something when she heard someone talking outside the door.
"Hong Lanlan is now going around the family compound saying that she has found the real thief who stole the clothes, but Xu Qingmo is still sleeping. She will have to wait for her to wake up to tell her who the thief is."
"Could this be a story that Hong Lanlan made up on purpose to clear her name?"
"Everyone says Xu Qingmo is a child prodigy, but I think she's just lucky, strong, and cute and pretty. That's about it."
"Nothing much? You could kill a wolf when you were five?"
"Sigh, who knows if she really beat him to death? If Meng Panpan beat him to death and gave the title to Xu Qingmo just for fun, it's hard to say."
"Then let me ask you this: if you killed a wolf, would you give me this title?"
"You wish! Why should I give you credit for my work? I..."
It was noisy outside, quite loud, and all the physics students could hear it clearly.
Luo Zilan was puzzled; she had just arrived and didn't know what had happened in the family compound.
I only heard from Zhou Haihong that Shen Jiang's new wife brought back a daughter named Xu Qingmo, who was only five years old and was called a little prodigy by the people in the family compound.
"Cousin, is Xu Qingmo really that amazing? I heard people in the compound praising her, saying she found the clothes thief. Someone here had their clothes stolen? Who's so shameless as to steal other people's clothes?"
Luo Zilan couldn't help but complain.
Zhou Haihong's expression changed slightly, and blood continued to seep from the wound on her thumb.
"He's just a five-year-old kid, a little stronger than others. People outside who've never seen the world find it all very strange," Zhou Haihong casually replied.
Luo Zilan, however, became interested in this Xu Qingmo.
She heard that Xu Qingmo had remarried Shen Jiang after her mother's marriage, and that Shen Jiang doted on her exceptionally.
She was upset. She was the one who had taken a liking to Shen Jiang first, but before she could even confess her feelings, she heard that he had gotten married.
"Cousin, do you think I still have a chance?"
“You’re a young, unmarried woman, you’re definitely better than Wang Jing. Shen Jiang is blinded by greed right now, that’s why he thinks women with children are better. He’ll realize how bad Wang Jing is after a while. If you spend more time with him, you’ll definitely have plenty of opportunities to be together.”
Zhou Haihong said from the side.
Luo Zilan now deeply regrets not confessing her feelings to Shen Jiang back then, because she was too shy and missed such a good opportunity.
"I hope Shenjiang can understand that we are the most suitable match." After saying this, Luo Zilan's face turned red.
Zhou Haihong had lost all interest in sewing shoe soles. She got up from the bed and said, "It's almost time to eat. I'll go cook, and you can help me."
Looking at her fair hands, Luo Zilan was somewhat reluctant. "Cousin, I can't cook."
"Don't you even know how to pick and wash vegetables?"
"We've done these before, so it should be fine."
"If you want to marry Shen Jiang, you'll need to learn some of these skills."
“But my mom said that if a woman gets involved in housework, she will spend her whole life revolving around the kitchen and children. I don’t want that kind of life. I want to only revolve around my own man.”
Luo Zilan thought of Shen Jiang's handsome face. If they got married, she would be by his side whenever she had free time, and she wouldn't care about housework.
Zhou Haihong looked at him like he was an idiot, "If you don't do housework, will you starve in the future?"
“Cousin, didn’t you say that Shen Jiang has been cooking and doing housework ever since he got married? If he marries me, he will definitely do these things too. He’ll be doing them all, so I won’t have to lift a finger.” Luo Zilan said casually, as if she would be marrying Shen Jiang soon.
Zhou Haihong shook her head speechlessly, "If you don't help, I won't let Shen Jiang come over tonight."
Luo Zilan immediately backed down, "Cousin, your hand is cut and you can't touch water, so leave the washing of vegetables to me."
