Chapter 26

I'll take you as my sister

kitchen.

Xiao Yue moved the small dining table next to the refrigerator, shielding himself from the scorching sun and feeling surrounded by a cool breeze.

The weather was just not good. Xiao Yue thought about it and made some grape iced fruit tea.

I didn't skimp on the drink myself, I put a lot of fruit pulp and half the ice cubes in. The whole cup was sour and sweet, and extremely comfortable.

After finishing lunch, Xiao Yue digested it for a while and then went to a sunny place in the backyard, intending to exchange the parasol for a look first.

After clicking the screen, a closed light blue parasol about two meters high appeared in the center of the courtyard.

Xiao Yue walked closer and found that the umbrella was not made of plastic, but a pure oil-paper umbrella, with a built-in triangular support at the bottom to prevent it from tipping over.

There was a fixed rope in the middle of the umbrella. Xiao Yue untied it, bent down and opened the umbrella.

Not to mention, it’s a bit heavy.

After fully stretching out, Xiao Yue was completely shrouded in shadow, blocking out the direct sunlight from the backyard, and his entire body became extremely cool.

The height is not depressing!

Xiao Yue raised his head and looked inside the parasol.

The ribs of the umbrella are made of wood, each one is strong and smooth. A black-gray heat-insulating layer is tightly attached to the umbrella surface, and there is a moon-shaped pendant hanging from the eaves at regular intervals.

The meaning is... Yueting?

Xiao Yue was amazed at the exquisiteness of the pendant for a long time. He reached out and touched it, and the pendant began to shake.

She chuckled and simply exchanged for a few more parasols and placed them at the back door of the courtyard. They didn't take up any space anyway.

Xiao Yue clapped his hands and looked around the backyard where many utensils were already placed, feeling fulfilled.

It seems that it won’t be long before this small place is filled up.

"Xiao Yue."

Just at this moment, Xiao Yue heard a faint call in her ears. She was stunned for a moment and found that the voice came from the front door.

"Xiao Yue?"

A woman's voice.

Xiao Yue's heart skipped a beat and she quickly walked through the kitchen to the front room.

As they got closer, the other party's voice became clearer. Xiao Yue's face lit up with joy, and he opened the door and blurted out.

"Sister Fang!"

At this moment, there was indeed a woman wearing a simple red dress and with neatly combed hair standing at the door.

Behind her were packages of different sizes, which looked cumbersome, but her face looked so healthy, rosy from the sun, and her eyes were filled with joy of seeing each other again.

If it’s not Fang Sanhong, then who else could it be!

The woman only chuckled and said, "Xiao Yue, I'm here to see you."

Xiao Yue could sense the vitality in the voice, and his brows were filled with pride. He immediately knew that what he had done was successful.

"It's hot outside, come in quickly!" Xiao Yue couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and naturally reached out to take a few packages.

Coming to the kitchen, Xiao Yue put the things on the table and poured her a cup of grape fruit tea.

I don't know how Fang Sanhong is doing, but fortunately the fruit tea was not put into the refrigerator. After a meal and the time spent tinkering in the backyard, the temperature has returned to normal.

"Thank you." Fang San's red eyes were gentle. He took it and drank it in one breath, then let out a long sigh.

Xiao Yue's smile did not diminish, and she could not help but call her again: "Sister Fang."

"What's wrong?" Fang Sanhong clearly understood what she wanted to say, but she pretended to change the subject and said, "What did you just give me to drink? It tasted pretty good..."

"Sister Fang!" Xiao Yue exclaimed, and sat opposite her: "How did the matter go? What about the scumbag? What about the mistress? What was the result?"

The series of questions made Fang Sanhong laugh out loud.

"How is it? I mean it when I say I'll bite off a piece of his flesh. Everyone knows that Fang's rice shop is run by me alone. What can that loser do?"

After saying this, Fang Sanhong stopped smiling and said sarcastically, "I listened to you and reported it to the authorities first, and asked them to investigate. But the new city lord took office, and his subordinates were very quick to act. They got the result in just one afternoon."

"That bastard not only had to pay me 120 taels of silver, but after I complained, the government also ruled that the rice shop was mine."

One hundred and twenty taels!

And there is also the ownership of the rice shop!

Xiao Yue felt relieved after hearing this. That was real money, something he could actually hold in his hands.

But in this case, the rice shop management will belong to Fang Sanhong, so she will...

Fang Sanhong continued, "Although the government didn't impose any punishment, that bastard was very angry and teamed up with his entire family of relatives to force me to hand over the rice shop deed, and I sold it right away."

Sold?

Xiao Yue was surprised.

Fang Sanhong continued, "Not only that, someone from the government came again early this morning, saying that the city lord had heard about this matter, and wanted to ask me if I could post it as a notice to warn the men and women in the city..."

This time Xiao Yue really exclaimed "Ah?", which was more shocking than hearing her say that she had sold her years of hard work.

Fang Sanhong's face remained calm, and she continued, "After all, it was a free ten taels of silver as a subsidy, so I agreed. Of course, it was mainly to serve as a warning so that no other women would be fooled."

The subtext of her words goes beyond this. Xiao Yue knew that what she really wanted was not the ten taels of silver.

If the notice was posted, it would mean that the whole incident would be written up fairly from beginning to end, and the man's actions would be spread throughout the city and known to everyone.

What nature?

Anyone would spit at him and he would become a real rat crossing the street!

At the same time, the reason why Fang Sanhong chose to divorce will probably also be written down.

Xiao Yue recalled the things her neighbors had said to her, and she could already imagine how many people would think of this kind of woman...

Even in Xiao Yue's opinion, women should not be labeled no matter what they do, but this is ancient times and certain feudal ideas remain.

As if seeing her worry, Fang Sanhong smiled nonchalantly and said, "By the way, there's also that mistress. Guess what?"

Xiao Yue's attention was diverted and he only heard her sigh.

"I asked someone around and found out that she wasn't just hooking up with that bastard. She was also hooking up with the old man from the Wang family, the second young master from the Li family, the patriarch of the Zhao family... Tsk, I used her name to invite all those people out for a drink together."

drink wine?

Xiao Yue looked at the coldness in Fang Sanhong's eyes and immediately understood.

This could not be just due to drinking. She could already imagine the scene of several men seeing each other's cuckolds.

What is this called?

The fish pond exploded!

There is no way that woman would let things go so easily. It would definitely be a mess!

As for what happens next?

What does it have to do with them? Evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers!

Xiao Yue felt completely relaxed physically and mentally, and all the anger he had held for Fang Sanhong the day before turned into loud laughter.

“Well done!”

The scumbag lost all his money and reputation, the mistress suffered the consequences, and there was a government announcement to put pressure on them, so it was impossible for both of them to turn things around.

Now, as long as Fang Sanhong puts the past aside, his future will be bright.

"After that, I packed my things and came to you, didn't I?" Fang Sanhong sighed softly, but she felt more relieved.

Xiao Yue wanted to say something, but seeing her like this, he simply stopped talking and said, "What do you mean by seeking refuge? It's just that Sister Fang came at the right time. I need you right now!"

"Really?" Fang Sanhong raised her voice. Seeing her nod seriously, her eyes moved: "Then calling me Sister Fang is a bit strange. If you don't mind, you can call me Sister Sanhong from now on. I will treat you as my sister."

Calling "sister" by her surname is very different from calling her by her given name, especially in the current situation.

Xiao Yue was stunned.

For a moment, no one spoke in the kitchen.

After a long time, Xiao Yue's eyelashes moved slightly, and she smiled as Fang Sanhong pretended to be calm.

"Sister Sanhong."

It was quiet again.

But this time, after just a few seconds, Fang Sanhong responded immediately, loosened his clenched fists under the table, and his eyes became slightly moist.

"Xiao Yue, thank you."

When she was in the most difficult time, those slightly cool hands did not bring her coldness, but a clear spring that made Fang Sanhong completely sober.

"From now on, there's no need to say thank you to each other." Facing the burning gaze, Xiao Yue lowered her eyes to hide some of her emotions, stood up and said, "By the way, Sister Sanhong, have you eaten? I'll make you something?"

"No need to bother." Fang Sanhong stopped her and said with a smile, "I've given up the shabby house I rented before and plan to rent another one near West Street so that it will be more convenient for me to come to the store to help. Would you like to go with me to have a look?"

After receiving the compensation he deserved, Fang Sanhong is no longer penniless.

Not to mention renting, you can even afford to buy a small house.

However, Xiao Yue could guess that she wanted to save some money, so she readily agreed: "Okay, I'll go with Sister Sanhong to check it out now!"

It was three quarters after midnight, and the sun was not as strong as it would have been at noon.

Xiao Yue and Fang Sanhong went out together, found the real estate agent on West Street, and looked at three houses in a row through his introduction.

The first one is located in a prime location on West Street, with two courtyards and a monthly rent of eight taels.

The second house is relatively far away, but it is quiet in a bustling area and has a very good environment. The monthly rent is six taels.

The third place is not too far from Yueting. It is a small courtyard, very clean. There are many people living around it, so it is quite lively. The monthly rent is four taels.

After going through all the steps, it was getting dark and the agent was so thirsty from the introduction.

"Which one do you like? We rent it for half a year or less. They are all good houses in good locations! If you like it, I will immediately get you a lease, and you can move in tonight!"

Xiao Yue listened from the side and did not say anything to disturb Fang Sanhong who was thinking.

She thought she would probably choose the first place. After all, she was alone now and the place she lived in was more spacious. What's wrong with enjoying herself?

Unexpectedly, after asking the broker a few questions, Fang Sanhong nodded and said with certainty: "Just go into the courtyard. Thank you for your hard work, brother."

"Okay!"

Xiao Yue was slightly surprised when he saw the two of them handling the rental procedures at lightning speed.

After the broker left, she asked, "Sister Sanhong, is this house a little too small?"

It happened to be the last one, and the two of them were in this small courtyard, and they could see the whole place at a glance.

There is a master bedroom, a second bedroom, and a kitchen on the left, and the courtyard can be reached in just a few steps.

Fang Sanhong put away the lease and raised her eyebrows, saying, "It's not small anymore. It's quite cozy. A house that's too big would seem empty. I can make more friends here and listen to some gossip, right?"

Xiao Yue didn't hesitate when he heard this.

The sun had already set, but Fang Sanhong was still packing packages of various sizes at Yueting Self-service Shop.

So the two of them went back to pack up while talking.

Fang Sanhong collected most of them herself, and Xiao Yue took this opportunity to make some fried rice and seaweed soup.

The whole process takes a quarter of an hour, and the fried rice with distinct grains and the sweet and fresh vegetable soup are ready.

After eating, Xiao Yue prepared to give Fang Sanhong a ride.

"No need to send me off." Fang Sanhong stopped at the back door and said, "Is Xiaoyue living in the store now?"

Xiao Yue nodded in confusion, and then she said -

"Why don't you move in with me? There's an extra room available, and it's not far from the store!"
