Jiang Zhen looked at Li Qiuxiang, patted her, and said in a cheeky tone, "Pretty, isn't it!"
"Mmm...that's fucking awesome!"
"Be careful, this is illegal!" After saying that, he laughed and left.
Li Qiuxiang shouted, "What the hell do you mean? Explain yourself!"
Grandpa Li couldn't bear to look anymore and patted his granddaughter, saying, "That boy is just a bit big; he's only 13."
Damn! This is actually illegal! Wait a minute! I was just looking, I wasn't going to do anything, and besides, I'm a married woman. I can't help but think how good things are now! Everyone is equal; otherwise, she wouldn't even have the chance to look at someone like that.
The three people left, and the grandfather and granddaughter came into the room. Li Qiuxiang said, "Grandma made you some steamed buns, eat them quickly!"
Grandpa Li wiped his hands with his towel, took the steamed bun and started eating, saying as he ate, "I heard from your grandma that they got married yesterday?"
Li Qiuxiang nodded and said, "It's settled!"
Grandpa Li glared at her and said, "You're treating this marriage like a joke. Now that you're married, you should live a good life. It's your second marriage. Since you chose him, you should also consider all the messy things his family has to do. Get along well with him and don't bully him all the time."
Li Qiuxiang nodded. "I know. I'm not just bored, why would I bully him for no reason! Are you alright, sir? How about I take your place for a few days and you go back and rest?"
Grandpa Li waved his hand and said, "It's alright, just have someone take me home by bicycle tomorrow morning."
Li Qiuxiang nodded, "Okay, then Wang Dong will pick me up. I'll head back now."
"Okay, let's go! Be careful on the road, and don't get into any arguments."
"Okay! I know!" Li Qiuxiang scurried home and saw that her mother had made six cornbread buns and a pot of boiled cabbage. She frowned and said, "Is this all you eat after a day's work?"
The grandmother and grandson both felt a headache coming on, but under her tyrannical influence, Qi's mother still explained, "Dongdong has a younger sister who is working in the countryside in Jiayuguan. She's having a hard time, and we give her a monthly allowance..."
"Bullshit! Whoever gave birth to the child is responsible for it! She puts on face cream and wears a wool coat, but who did she give birth to? So she's the only one who knows how to scheme, and I don't?" Sitting there, she kicked an empty stool, looked at Wang Dong, and felt more and more humiliated. She glared at him, but Wang Dong didn't dare to utter a sound.
Li Qiuxiang glared at Qi's mother and yelled, "Every day, she feeds my husband boiled cabbage and cornbread! No wonder he's so weak! You've ruined your Qi family, and now you want to scheme against our Wang family? Are you some kind of ancestor of massacres? The woman who married you is truly cursed for eight lifetimes! If I see this dish again tomorrow, I'll skin you alive and render you into oil!" With that, she threw the boiled cabbage on the ground.
He grabbed Wang Dong and left. When they arrived at the mutton restaurant at the entrance of the alley, he ordered two bowls of mutton offal noodles and one bowl of mixed mutton. He picked up two pieces of food and gave them to Wang Dong, saying, "Eat up!"
Wang Dong looked at Li Qiuxiang and said, "If you smash the food bowl, what will Grandma eat?"
Li Qiuxiang said nonchalantly, "It's her freedom to eat dog poop if she wants, but my man has to eat well. He's only in his early twenties. If he eats boiled cabbage every day, he'll look like he's 62 when he's 26. I don't want to be a widow. Hurry up and eat!"
Under Li Qiuxiang's tyranny, Wang Dong picked up his chopsticks and started eating. Li Qiuxiang deliberately ate only half of the mutton. The two of them were in perfect sync. When they finished eating, Wang Dong took the remaining half of the plate with him, and Li Qiuxiang pretended not to know.
Back at the door, Li Qiuxiang said ambiguously, "The number of times yesterday was good, but the quality needs to be improved. I'll be checking it later." After saying that, she gently pinched Wang Dong's waist and went inside to wash up.
Wang Dong's face turned pale. He held back and went to the side room. Seeing Qi's mother sitting blankly on the bed, he unfolded the oil paper and said, "Grandma, she's just sharp-tongued but kind-hearted. Don't take it to heart. She was still thinking of you when we went out to eat. Eat some more."
Qi's mother's eyes were red, and she blinked, tears streaming down her face. "Dongdong, Grandma has been a burden to you."
Wang Dong shook his head. "Grandma, what are you saying? Eat the mutton, it's delicious..."
"Wang Dong, what time is it? Aren't you coming home to sleep? Are you even going to work tomorrow?!"
Hearing the shrew's voice, Qi's mother quickly wiped away her tears and told Wang Dong to go back. After he left, she sighed. Looking back, it seemed everything had changed after Wei Shuqing left. Sometimes she regretted not pushing Wei Shuqing so hard back then, or even treating her a little better. Would her family be doing so much better now?
She also regretted that she was too strong-willed back then, which harmed her son and grandson Wang Dong.
Wang Dong went out and quickly washed up, looking as if he were going to the execution ground, displaying a look of resignation to his fate.
The two of them tossed and turned until midnight, and Li Qiuxiang fell fast asleep. Wang Dong, however, was completely sleepless.
He hugged the blanket to his chest and thought of his beloved, Sun Yan, the girl who shone on the gymnastics field.
