Chapter 147 When did you become so short?
Chi Donglin and Song Yunlai felt like they were about to vomit blood; they wished they could vomit up all the tea they had drunk.
The two stared at each other for a long time in the office before Song Yunlai nudged Chi Donglin with his shoulder and asked, "What do you mean?"
Chi Donglin squinted: "If he's heartless, he can't blame us for being unjust! We'll stay at their house tonight!"
After saying that, he glanced at Song Yunlai and said, "You're not going to become a traitor, are you? You're not going to leave me alone and go find Su Zhiqing by yourself, are you? Let me tell you, you two aren't married yet. If you dare to do anything to seduce a young girl, I'll have to put the greater good before family and personally report you for being a pervert!"
Song Yunlai, who had originally intended to go find Su Yunyi but had no intention of doing anything bad, immediately stood up straight, filled with righteous indignation:
"What are you saying! Do you think I'm the kind of person who would act like a hooligan? Besides, Su Zhiqing and I are having a proper relationship. Don't try to apply your dirty ideas to me!"
"Besides, when have I ever abandoned you? Your words are really hurting me, brother!"
Chi Donglin patted him on the shoulder: "Good lad, I knew you were more reliable than that brat Ayan!"
The two immediately hit it off and followed Pei Jiuyan to the family compound.
In the family compound.
Pei Jiuyan returned in a great mood and saw Qin Suisui had laid out a straw mat on the ground and was now sitting on it, leaning against the sofa and rolling pills. Zanzan was fiddling with herbs he didn't recognize, and it was unclear whether he was helping or making things worse.
He looked around, feeling that something was different about the house, and finally fixed his gaze on a bookshelf that was more than a meter tall against the wall behind the sofa.
"Where did this bookshelf come from?"
Qin Suisui felt guilty for a moment, but quickly regained her composure: "I got it from a fellow villager. I heard he picked it up in the city before."
Pei Jiuyan nodded, not saying much. After all, intellectuals don't dare to be too blatant these days, so it's normal for this kind of bookshelf to be replaced. Besides, this bookshelf does look quite old, so it's perfect for his wife to reuse it as a small shelf for storing medicinal herbs.
"Why didn't you wait for me to move it? Your hand is still injured."
Qin Suisui waved her hand: "They delivered it to us, stop talking about it, hurry up and cook, I'm hungry!"
The main problem was that she couldn't lie anymore. She had smuggled this thing out of her space while Zan Zan was taking a nap. It was the same one she had her eye on at the junkyard before.
Thinking of the clay pot in her space, Qin Suisui thought to herself, "I'll send it to Su Yunyi tomorrow. She'll definitely be very happy!"
"What would you like to eat? You still have a lot of seafood you brought back from the beach yesterday. How about I make your favorite stir-fried squid, stir-fried clams with scallions and ginger, and pan-fried a few small fish?"
Qin Suisui nodded, but before she could speak, Song Yunlai's nonchalant voice came from outside: "Add a spicy crab and a salt and pepper mantis shrimp!"
Chi Donglin added, "I think seafood porridge would be a good choice for the main course. Doesn't my little sister like it? Porridge is easy to digest at night, right, little sister?"
Qin Suisui looked at the two people who walked in arm in arm and nodded with a smile: "Yes, the shrimp and crab porridge you made last night was delicious, I haven't had enough yet!"
When Pei Jiuyan saw the two of them appear in the courtyard at the same time, he knew they were up to no good and were plotting something. He could tell at a glance.
It's alright, he went a bit too far last night, and his wife is probably a little hurt. He definitely can't touch her again today. No matter how well they plan, it's useless.
Pei Jiuyan smiled slightly and beckoned the two to go to the kitchen to help.
On the other side, in the athletes' single dormitory rooms.
Song Xu returned home drunk and saw Hao Ke sitting blankly in the yard, not having made dinner yet. He angrily kicked the chair under his feet and said, "What are you still sitting there for? Don't you know how to cook?"
Hao Ke snapped out of her daze; she was already used to this scene every night.
She stood up numbly: "What are we having for dinner?"
Song Xu plopped down in the chair she had just been sitting in: "The seafood you picked up last night was pretty good. Did you go pick any more today?"
Hao Ke shook her head: "Not today. Nobody's lucky every day."
She happened to be beachcombing last night and saw Qin Suisui from afar. Last time, Qin Suisui beat her so badly and she was locked up for a week of forced ideological reform, which made her a little scared.
Only after Qin Suisui left did he dare to run to the place where she had been to see if there was anything good left.
To her surprise, she actually found more than a dozen prawns and crabs, as well as a grouper, in that shallow puddle! This was her biggest catch in all her years of beachcombing!
Qin Suisui, that bitch, is really lucky!
After bringing the seafood back last night, Song Xu, unusually, didn't make sarcastic remarks to her and even gave her a pleasant look.
Actually, when Hao Ke and Song Xu first got married, Song Xu was considerate for a while, after all, they had a child, and the child was lost because he went to the family compound to look for Hao Ke without permission.
So initially, the Song family didn't agree to their marriage. Song Xu insisted on taking responsibility for her. In the early days after their marriage, Song's parents often made sarcastic remarks about her, bringing up her second marriage and believing that Hao Ke, this "second-hand goods," was not good enough for their precious son. It was Song Xu who helped her out of those situations.
At that time, Hao Ke felt that marrying Song Xu was not bad. Although Song Xu's family was not as well-off as Chi Donglin's family, it was not bad either. Moreover, this man treated her very well. She had already fallen into such a situation, and dared not ask for anything more.
But all of this happened after Song Xu's ex-girlfriend got married.
That morning, before Song Xu left for work, he specifically told her that she didn't need to prepare his dinner for dinner, as a friend was having a birthday party.
Hao Ke didn't think much of it.
Although Song Xu was not an athlete, he worked in an administrative position at the stadium. Many of his friends were athletes, and he was very loyal to them. The friends stayed in close contact. Hao Ke himself had been an athlete and knew what was going on, so he naturally wouldn't object.
But Song Xu came home very late that day. She waited until midnight, and finally he came home drunk. She helped him wash up and then helped him to the bedroom to rest. Then she saw Song Xu staring blankly at her.
Hao Ke was a little confused: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Unexpectedly, Song Xu suddenly asked, "When did you get so short?"
Hao Ke was stunned, and a chill instantly swept over her entire body.
She couldn't have suddenly become shorter. Song Xu had always known how tall she was, so if she suddenly said that, it must be because of a comparison.
She was the one who was outshone.
She's actually not short; at 162cm, her height is quite normal for an average girl.
But she knew there was a very tall girl, and that was Song Xu's ex-girlfriend, Liu Na.
Song Xu's ex-girlfriend was a water polo player. She was about 1.7 meters tall, very tall and thin, with a curvy figure. Most importantly, her face was just like Qin Suisui's, very sexy.
The next day, Hao Ke went to inquire about it.
As expected, the people who had dinner with Song Xu last night included several athletes from the water polo team, including Liu Na.
Yesterday, taking advantage of a gathering, Liu Na officially announced her marriage.
So Song Xu broke down.
He thought Liu Na wouldn't find anyone better after leaving him. He never expected her to find someone so quickly, and her partner is from the city, with a family and personal background far superior to Song Xu's.
So Song Xu broke down, regretted it, and started to find fault with everything about Hao Ke, the person who ruined their relationship.
