Chapter 13: Reincarnation of a Fox Spirit
"Excuse me, who are you..."
Jiang Cha didn't reach out to take the pen. The girl in front of him was as confused as her mother, so Jiang Cha didn't dare to move.
"My name is Bai Shuyao. I'm just here to return a pen. Don't think too much!"
"First of all, I'm just Huo Jingchuan's stepsister. I wouldn't think twice about anyone coming to see him. Secondly, he's at work and not at home. If you want to return the pen to him, please come back in the evening. Bye!"
Jiang Cha slammed the door shut without any courtesy.
It's really like a toad jumping on the sole of your foot. It doesn't bite you, but it's disgusting.
Bai Shuyao gritted her teeth. What's so arrogant about this little vixen?
When she married Huo Jingchuan and became the wife of the deputy head of the group, the first thing she would do was to kick this bitch out of the Huo family, and then find a way to kick out that old vixen of her mother as well.
Sooner or later, the Huo family will belong to her and her mother.
Bai Shuyao covered her lips, tears as big as beans falling down one by one, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Sun Hongying, the sister-in-law of the Li family who lived across the street, was coaxing her child to take a nap on the bamboo bed. She used the palm-leaf fan in her hand to fan away mosquitoes from time to time.
Seeing that the child had fallen asleep, she stopped Bai Shuyao.
"Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?"
"I just came to return Brother Jingchuan's pen, but Uncle Huo's new daughter kicked me out. I..."
She covered her face, turned around and ran away. Even from a distance, people could feel her grievance.
He Meishan, the daughter-in-law of Political Commissar Zhao next door, had just finished cleaning the house. She took a freshly washed cucumber, broke off half and handed it to Sun Hongying.
"What happened to Yaoyao? Why does she look like she's crying?"
Sun Hongying glanced around and whispered, "Isn't it the new girl from Teacher Huo's family? That girl looks so pretty and delicate, but it turns out she's not easy to get along with. Yaoyao went to their house to return the pen, and she kicked her out. I saw it with my own eyes. She slammed the door so hard that she almost hit Yaoyao's nose!"
"How could this happen? When I saw her sorting things out this morning, she seemed fine!"
"You can't judge a person by his appearance, but by his heart. Yaoyao has grown up under our watch. She is pretty, well-behaved and sensible. That girl has only been here for one day, and she's already bullying Yaoyao. I think there will be no peace here from now on!"
Jiang Cha stayed in her room reading a book for the entire afternoon, completely unaware of the gossip outside. It had intensified from her being difficult to get along with to her thinking that she had established a relationship with Teacher Huo and that she didn't care about anyone else in the world.
In the end, it turned out that she and her mother were the reincarnations of a pair of vixen. The older one deceived Commander Huo and became his wife. The younger one was also restless and wanted to seduce Commander Huo's two sons. She was a little slut.
When Huo Tingkun and Ye Surong came back, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, which was when the compound was busiest.
The weather was hot, so many people set up tables in the yard to eat, and the whole yard was filled with the aroma of food.
Some people carried their bowls and ran from one house to another, eating and chatting at the same time.
The half-grown children ran around the yard, and the adults in the family chased after them, feeding them mouthful by mouthful.
The wind picked up in the evening, and after the sun went down, it was cooler outside than inside.
Huo Tingkun parked the car at the door. Ye Surong got out and shouted into the house, "Cha Cha, come out and help move things."
Jiang Cha was redoing her old exercise book. Hearing the noise, she raised her head from the desk, put down the pen in her hand, and while shaking her sore arms, she came out to open the door and move things.
When he came out, Jiang Cha was stunned.
"Mom, Uncle Huo, have you moved the supply and marketing cooperative back?"
Bright red sheets and quilts, pairs of thermoses, sugar jars, pots and pans, fish, meat, vegetables, eggs, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and a bright red wedding dress, leather shoes, a watch, a radio...
The jeep alone was packed to the brim, and behind it was a small truck.
There was a brand new sewing machine and a bright red Phoenix bicycle on the truck. The grand display shocked everyone in the compound.
"I told him not to buy it, but he insisted. If I hadn't stopped him, he might have moved the entire supply and marketing cooperative into his home!"
Ye Surong complained like this, but there was an unconcealable joy in her eyes.
Jiang Cha didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "There are so many things, I don't even know where to start!"
"Hey, Commander Huo, you didn't move the supply and marketing cooperative back here, did you?"
Huo Tingkun is a humble person in his daily life. Although he is a leader, he rarely puts on airs outside of work and gets along well with everyone in the compound.
All the colleagues who were familiar with him came over and chatted happily.
"It's said that Master Huo is very courageous. Just looking at the wedding scene, how many people can compare to him?"
"I've been hearing all day that Commander Huo has married a beautiful wife. Now that I see her, she's really as good as her reputation!"
"Master Huo, how come you are so capable? You found us such a beautiful sister-in-law."
Ye Surong felt a little embarrassed by what those people said. After she entered the house, she simply did not come out. She stayed in the house and sorted out the things that Huo Tingkun and Jiang Cha moved in one by one.
Huo Tingkun was holding several brand new enamel washbasins, which contained new towels, toothbrushes, friendship cream, Pechoin and other daily necessities and skin care products.
"I begged for this daughter-in-law of mine with great difficulty, so be careful with your words. If you scare her away, I'll make you pay!"
"Who says our Commander Huo has a heart of steel? Isn't he very loving towards his wife?"
"Hahaha……"
Those who were eating, chatting, watching the fun, and clearing the dishes gathered around. Most of them were men, including Huo Tingkun's colleagues, subordinates, and friends.
The women who had enthusiastically helped them move things in the morning gathered in a group, looking at her from time to time, then turning their heads to talk in low voices.
Jiang Cha always had a bad premonition, as if something she didn't know about had happened, making her uneasy.
"Why did you get married? When did it happen?"
"Yes, Commander, you are already so old and you still want to get married. Will your two sons agree?"
"If I get married, my two boys will definitely agree."
Huo Tingkun put the washbasin in his hand back on the seat, put his hands on Jiang Cha's shoulders, and pulled her in front of everyone.
"Not only does my son agree, my daughter agrees too."
"Oh, this girl is so pretty!"
"Isn't it? This girl is even prettier than the mainstay of the art troupe!"
"Isn't it? My daughter is pretty, isn't she?"
If Huo Tingkun had a tail, he would definitely be able to shake it to pieces right there.
"But I think my daughter's looks are still a little bit inferior to my wife's."
Ginger tea: “…”
Yesterday, when Huo Tingkun was at their house, supporting her and her mother, she thought that Huo Tingkun was the kind of serious and majestic cold-faced devil who could scare his subordinates to tremble with just a glance.
Why is he still so hypocritical?
Jiang Cha became a submachine gun, shielding her mother from the wind and rain. She raised her brightest smile and said, "In my Uncle Huo's eyes, no one can compare to my mother."
One sentence made everyone burst into laughter.
Then, Jiang Cha took out a large cloth bag from the innermost part of the trunk.
There is a bag full of candy in here.
"This is the wedding candy my mom and Uncle Huo bought today. All the uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, come and take some home to sweeten your mouths. When the wedding banquet is officially held, everyone should come!"
Ginger Tea was served with candies one by one, and each person got three or five pieces. It wasn’t much, but it was a token of my appreciation.
"Hey everyone, look at this girl! She's pretty, good at talking, and can do things in a professional way. How come she's so lovable?"
"Isn't it? Our daughter is a bully at home, but outside, you can't get a single word out of her. From now on, I'll have to let my daughter learn from you more often."
"My dear uncles, I'm just good at talking. Actually, there are many things I can't do!"
It's very lively over here.
Wang Qing was leaning against the door of a one-bedroom apartment at the very edge of the family compound, her face pale and her hands and feet cold.
"Shuyao, did you hear that? I've been guarding him for so many years, and he's really getting married. He's actually getting married? To someone else?"
"mom……"
"That woman, what right does she have? Is it because she looks like a vixen? What should I do if Huo Tingkun marries someone else? What should I do, Shuyao!"
"Mom, calm down!"
Bai Shuyao wished she could cover Wang Qing's hateful eyes and her chattering mouth.
Wang Qing's face was distorted. There were so many people outside at this moment. Bai Shuyao gritted her teeth, pulled Wang Qing into the house, and locked the door.
"Mom, there are so many people in the yard. What if someone saw you like that and Uncle Huo heard about it? What would he think of us?"
"He's going to marry someone else, why should I care what he thinks of me?"
"You're right, that vixen mother and daughter are definitely not easy to deal with. We can't confront them head-on, so we'll have to strike first!"
Wang Qing was going crazy. She regretted it so much. If she had known that Huo Tingkun would get married so suddenly, she should have expressed her feelings to him earlier.
If the person who was about to marry Huo Tingkun was her, then all the things they bought today would be hers, and she could live in a big house with her daughter. Why should she still squeeze in this one-bedroom apartment that hardly saw the sun all year round?
She didn't even find out the origin of that woman who appeared out of nowhere.
"What should I do now?" Wang Qing was panicked and anxious.
The laughter, discussions, and jokes outside were getting louder and louder, making Wang Qing even more upset.
A hint of ruthlessness appeared between Bai Shuyao's beautiful eyebrows.
