Shen Qiqi knew she would react like this, so she didn't force it. She just shrugged and said with a smile, "It's okay. If you don't go, I will. I'm a top student who graduated from university. Why should I be worried that I can't handle a few elementary school students? I can also ask if there is any way to go back."
Xu Jing looked at her confident look, her heart moved slightly, and her tone softened: "Then be careful, and remember to tell me if you have anything." Although she said disdain, she knew in her heart that Shen Qiqi was working hard for their future.
In the room, Li Xueping, who was washing dishes, could not help but complain to Wang Guihua next to her while washing dishes skillfully: "You said that this new daughter-in-law is so lucky, she doesn't have to do any work! She has been married for a few days, but she is still like a guest. Should we old people serve them every day?" Her tone was full of unwillingness and resentment.
Wang Guihua smiled naively and wiped the table slowly, "Oh, sister-in-law, don't say that. My third and fourth brothers work hard to cook every day. As wives, it's our duty to do some work." She obviously didn't understand the dissatisfaction in Li Xueping's words. She just felt that they were all family, and working was a matter of course.
After hearing this, Li Xueping felt even worse.
She felt that Wang Guihua was really a blockhead. How could she not understand what she meant?
She put down the bowl in annoyance with a "bang" sound, and said in a stiff tone: "You are really talking without any pain in your waist. Only those who do the work know it!" After that, she walked out angrily.
Wang Guihua looked at her departing back with a confused look on her face, not understanding why she suddenly became angry.
She shook her head and continued to wipe the table slowly, completely unaware of the grievance and dissatisfaction in Li Xueping's heart.
There was a depressing atmosphere in the air, making it hard to breathe.
Shen Qiqi and Long Fengjiao carried baskets and walked on the path to the vegetable garden. The wind blew the corners of their clothes, making a slight sound.
Long Fengjiao looked up at the sky from time to time, and gently tucked the loose hair behind her ears with her hands. There was a faint smile on the corners of her mouth, and she was obviously in a good mood.
Shen Qiqi looked at her back, deep in thought, thinking about how to find her own place in this era.
Suddenly, she remembered Xu Jing's words,
As soon as the two of them walked into the vegetable garden, Xu Jing called softly from inside the house: "Qiqi..." Her voice was very soft, but it carried a hint of inexplicable emotion, as if foreshadowing something.
Shen Qiqi lowered her voice, her tone filled with a hint of excitement and doubt: "I tell you, I always feel that there is something wrong with Long Fengjiao. Think about it, this old lady is too good to her, right? She doesn't have to work, and she cooks her favorite dishes. This treatment is better than her own daughter! Moreover, as soon as she came to the Lu family, the old lady targeted us and found fault everywhere. Isn't this too coincidental?"
Xu Jing leaned against the bed, picking her nails absentmindedly, and replied lazily, "What's so strange about this? They're educated youth, from the city, with delicate skin and tender flesh. It's normal for the old lady to feel sorry for them. Besides, this Long Fengjiao is really pretty and sweet-talking, and she can make the old lady run around in circles. Unlike us, who can't speak or deal with things, wouldn't we become a thorn in the old lady's side?"
Shen Qiqi frowned, still feeling something was wrong. She always felt that there was something hidden in Long Fengjiao's eyes, something that was hard to explain.
"But I just feel that she seems... a little too deliberate, you know? It's as if... as if she is doing it on purpose for someone to see." As she spoke, she rubbed her arms subconsciously, and an inexplicable feeling of unease surged in her heart.
Xu Jing scoffed and waved her hand, "Alright, alright, stop being so suspicious. Did Long Fengjiao provoke you? You're staring at her for no reason. Be careful, or she'll tell on you!"
Shen Qiqi was about to say something when suddenly, footsteps were heard in the yard. She immediately became alert and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.
"Shh! Someone seems to be coming!"
Xu Jing also heard the noise and immediately sat up straight, asking nervously, "Who is it? Could it be that the old lady has come back to attack?"
Shen Qiqi walked to the window, took a sneak peek outside, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It's Lu Qing."
When Xu Jing heard it was Lu Qing, she instantly became a different person, jumped off the bed, and scolded Shen Qiqi: "It's all your fault! What are you thinking about! If Lu Qing heard it, he would think we were saying bad things about him again! I tell you, don't implicate me!"
Before Shen Qiqi could react, Xu Jing angrily opened the door and walked out, muttering, "Really? You're looking for trouble..."
Shen Qiqi looked at her departing back and shook her head helplessly.
This girl changes her expression faster than turning the pages of a book!
Lu Qing walked into the room and saw Shen Qiqi standing by the window with a gentle smile on her face, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"
When Shen Qiqi saw Lu Qing, she instantly became dignified, with a shy smile on her face, "No, I didn't see anything, just looking at the scenery."
Lu Qing looked at her like this, feeling a little complicated. He always felt that these two new daughters-in-law were sometimes like children quarreling, which made him unpredictable.
He took out a handful of money and a few bills from his pocket and handed them to Shen Qiqi, "This is this month's household allowance, keep it."
Shen Qiqi took the money and tickets, carefully counted them one by one, and then...
"That's all?" Shen Qiqi's slender fingers pinched a few thin bills, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. She raised her eyebrows in surprise and opened her cherry lips slightly: "That...that's all?" The ending tone rose slightly, with a hint of disbelief.
