Chapter 25 The Third Brother Bought It for You



Just go offline, and why did you set a trap for her in the free Japanese version?

"When will the status take effect?" Xu Jiaojiao asked coldly.

She herself did not feel anything about the body fragrance that was activated by the system some time ago.

She even suspected that the system was deceiving her.

"As the host's nutrition recovers, the physical condition will gradually take effect."

Xu Jiaojiao: ...

Does that mean she is malnourished now, so it’s useless to increase her status?

For a moment, I didn't know whether I should be happy or not.

And how come Qin Shuo’s favorability has become 20?

Xu Jiaojiao couldn't understand it. It was obvious that the two of them were colder than strangers.

Could it be that he actually likes this tune?

The more others ignore him, the more excited he becomes?

Thinking of this, Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but look towards the corner.

That's where he slept.

It was pitch black at this time and nothing could be seen clearly, but Xu Jiaojiao knew that he was there.

The whole room was silent, and the only sound was the long breathing.

If you realize that you stay away from him, your favorability will increase.

Xu Jiaojiao seemed to have realized something, and her mood improved.

Closing her eyes, she opened the system page again.

The cooling time of the lucky bag in the upper left corner has expired.

There are several other things next to it that she has sold in the past few days.

Toffees, dried meat, egg cakes…

Xu Jiaojiao had no chance to take it out and eat it, and no place to hide it.

With a man like this living in the house, she wasn't sure she could hide it from him.

There are people everywhere when I go to work.

I wanted to find a deserted corner to eat secretly, but I was afraid of being caught like last time.

It can be said that it is really tragic.

Looking at those foods, Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help swallowing.

She looked away with difficulty and pressed the lucky bag.

Thinking of her empty pockets, Xu Jiaojiao prayed silently in her mind, hoping for some money.

The lucky bag carried her hopes and emitted a dazzling light.

Feeling this light, Xu Jiaojiao had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, when the light disappeared, she looked at the lucky bag with anticipation.

What caught my eye was not money, but a book!

It's still a book that looks a bit worn out.

Xu Jiaojiao: ...

She shouldn't have unrealistic fantasies.

Xu Jiaojiao complained silently and looked at the tattered book curiously.

When she saw the words on it, her eyes suddenly widened.

It turned out that what was prescribed this time was a medical book. Judging from the handwriting, it might be an ancient medical book.

Xu Jiaojiao was instantly excited.

She felt touched that the system finally stopped cheating her.

Without hesitation, she opened the book and began to read it eagerly.

However, the content was all written in classical Chinese, which was very difficult to understand. If she had not studied pharmacology, she would not have been able to understand it at all.

But even so, she still found it difficult to watch.

I don't know when, but I fell asleep.

On the folding bed by the wall, Qin Shuo suddenly opened his eyes.

Hearing the even breathing sound, he turned his head and looked towards the bed.

His brows were almost twisted into a knot.

The next day, Xu Jiaojiao got up late as expected.

Hearing the sound of children playing and fighting in the yard, she quickly got out of bed.

As soon as I went out, I ran into Wang Fengmei.

I saw that her brows, which had been furrowed for many days, relaxed, and there was some satisfaction in her eyes.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Xu Jiaojiao: ...

"Mom, I slept well." Xu Jiaojiao said embarrassedly.

I took my toiletries and prepared to brush my teeth.

But before he had taken two steps, he was stopped.

"This is for you. The third brother bought it yesterday." Wang Fengmei said to her in a low voice.

He covered his hands and handed her a bag.

Xu Jiaojiao looked puzzled, but still reached out to take it.

After all, they couldn’t let the old lady know about their marital discord, so as to avoid making her worry.

What he was holding in his hand was a cloth bag, which was soft to the touch and contained what looked like some kind of cloth.

Xu Jiaojiao opened it curiously.

The whole person froze in an instant.

It turned out that the bag contained a vest, a toothbrush and a towel.

"Take it back quickly." Wang Fengmei urged.

There are too many eyes and gossips at home, and you can't be sure that someone will be jealous of you.

The third son is the same. He buys things for his wife, but instead of delivering them himself, he asks her, the old maid, to deliver them.

I didn't know where I went so early in the morning, I was in a hurry.

Hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao quickly put the bag away.

Sure enough, he saw Liu Zhaodi looking at him curiously in front of another room.

Xu Jiaojiao: ...

After thanking Wang Fengmei, she turned around and went back into the house with the bag.

Open the bag again and take out the vest.

Xu Jiaojiao opened the vest out of curiosity, but found it a little strange.

Why is it so long?

Is this what lesbians’ vests look like these days?

Xu Jiaojiao put the vest on her body and compared it, and suddenly a picture flashed through her mind.

Wasn’t this the style of vest Qin Shuo was wearing when she just woke up?

This is embarrassing...

Could it be that he bought it for himself and Wang Fengmei misunderstood?

But the towel inside was rose red.

Finally, Xu Jiaojiao decided to take the towel and toothbrush away.

As for the vest, I'll keep it for him.

Her current identity is still his daughter-in-law, so she has no psychological burden in holding the towel and toothbrush.

Even if the relationship is not good, you are still a person who earns cents every day.

She also has a share of the family money, why shouldn't she take it?

Finally getting a new toothbrush, Xu Jiaojiao felt like she had gotten a new toy and couldn’t let it go.

The toothbrushes of that time were different from those of later generations, and the bristles were rougher.

Unlike later generations, there are a wide variety of high-tech brushes.

But even for such a toothbrush, ordinary people are reluctant to buy it.

Use willow branches if you can.

The child doesn't brush his teeth at all.

There is no candy to eat anyway, and not many people have cavities.

"Hey, you've got a new towel."

Ding Xiujing looked at the rose-red towel in her hand and couldn't help but say something sourly.

"When will yours break like mine? Just ask mom for money to buy one."

Xu Jiaojiao was not annoyed either.

It's normal to have some bumps and bruises in a big family.

She doesn't take this level of sourness to heart.

"Come on, who is as wasteful as you?" Ding Xiujing rolled her eyes.

A towel can still be used even if it is broken, so there is no need to buy a new one.

Seeing that she really thought so, Xu Jiaojiao remained silent.

But people these days seem to be like this, so she doesn't find it strange.

After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Xu Jiaojiao went back to the house to get her tools.

When she saw the hat hanging behind the door, she didn't know what she thought of, but she didn't take it and just walked out.
