As if he had sensed her displeasure, Ling Chuan flipped the eggs with a spatula while ordering Zhou Xiaowei to go to the bathroom to take a bath first.
After Zhou Xiaowei left the kitchen, Ling Chuan tilted his head to look at his wife, tenderness unconsciously revealed in his dark eyes.
"Momo, is everything okay at home these days?"
Yun Mo glanced at him and said, "Let's talk after you finish your meal. I'm afraid you won't have an appetite later."
Ling Chuan's eyes tightened, "Did someone bully you?"
"It wasn't me. It was my eldest brother and his wife who had some trouble."
Hearing this, Ling Chuan breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace.
The egg noodles were soon out of the pot. The ceramic bowl, which was bigger than her washbasin, was filled to the brim. Yun Mo estimated that this bowl of noodles would be enough for her to eat for three days.
It was obvious that the two men were really hungry. They had eaten one-third of the food in just a few bites. Fearing that they would choke, Yun Mo stood up and poured two glasses of water and placed them in front of them.
"Thank you, Momo."
“Thank you, sister-in-law!”
Yun Mo sat on the side watching the two of them eat without saying anything to disturb them. Instead, Zhou Xiaowei took the initiative to talk about the interesting things that happened along the way.
After all, I was young and it was my first time traveling far away by train, so everything I saw was new to me.
Yun Mo didn't want to spoil the other person's fun, so she agreed intermittently, but her eyes kept glancing at Ling Chuan from time to time.
The light in the yard and the kitchen was a little dim, so she couldn't see the man's face clearly. When she looked at the bright light in the main room, she was surprised to find that Ling Chuan had blue stubble on his chin and his face looked a little dark, probably because of dust and sweat.
It must have been a very hard journey.
After dinner, Zhou Xiaowei diligently took the initiative to wash the dishes, while Ling Chuan and Yun Mo sat at the table and talked.
"Momo, what happened at big brother's house?"
Yun Mo briefly recounted the story of how Zhu Hongping wrongly accused Ling Jiang and Wei Qiaolan of having an affair, how he was arrested for beating Wei Qiaolan, and how Li Li took out her anger on Ling Chunhua.
Upon learning that Ling Chunhua was resting in the side room, Ling Chuan immediately wanted to get up and take a look, but when he saw his wife sitting opposite him, he sat back down hesitantly.
Compared to my niece, it is more important to accompany my wife.
Yun Mo took the initiative to speak, "Go see Chunhua, and take a bath while you're at it. The water in the boiler should be hot now."
"Momo, I'll be done soon, wait for me."
"Um."
Watching the tall man walking out quickly, Yun Mo suddenly felt an indescribable sense of security and assurance in her heart.
"Sister-in-law, the dishes have been washed. I will go back first."
After sitting for less than two minutes, Zhou Xiaowei came over to say goodbye to her.
Yun Mo looked at the inky night sky and subconsciously asked, "It's so late, how are you going back?"
Zhou Xiaowei scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I'll walk back and it'll take about an hour."
Yun Mo thought about it and took the other person to where the bicycles were parked. "You can ride your bike back and just bring it here tomorrow morning."
"Okay, thank you sister-in-law, then you and Brother Chuan should go to bed early."
"Um."
After closing the door, Yun Mo turned into the warehouse and wanted to take a look at the goods that Ling Chuanjin had brought back. Unexpectedly, the opening of the sack was sewn too tightly and she couldn't untie it after trying for a long time.
Just as I stood up to grab a pair of scissors, my back suddenly bumped into a warm, hard body. Just as I was about to scream out, a familiar, low "Momo" suddenly rang in my ears.
Yun Mo couldn't relax. She turned around and was about to speak when the man hugged her.
The familiar scent of the man, along with the faint scent of sulfur soap, filled her entire breath.
"Momo, I miss you so much."
Boom, boom, boom.
The clear heartbeat hits the eardrum.
My heart seemed to be tightly wrapped by something, filling it up completely without a single gap.
Before hugging his wife, Ling Chuan thought to himself that he would just hug her for a while and then let go.
But when he really held the person in his arms, his brain, his consciousness, and his body all stopped obeying his commands.
He just wanted to hold her longer and tighter.
Don't want to let go.
Yun Mo could clearly feel the man's arms tightening, so tight that her ribs ached. She had no choice but to speak out, "Ling Chuan, let go. I can't breathe."
Ling Chuan let her go as if he had just woken up from a dream, his dark eyes filled with tension and self-blame, but deep down he felt faintly excited and satisfied.
He hugged his wife as he wished, and she was not angry.
"Momo, I'm sorry. Did I hurt you? I didn't mean to do that. I will be gentler next time."
Yun Mo felt that this was strange. Neither yes nor no seemed right, so she simply changed the subject, "Go get a pair of scissors. I want to see what you brought back."
After hearing her words, Ling Chuan bent down, found the cotton rope on the sack, and pulled it gently, and all the cotton threads were torn apart.
Yun Mo: "…How did it get torn apart? Why is it getting tighter the more I pull?"
Seeing her annoyance, Ling Chuan couldn't help but smile. It turned out that even someone as smart as his wife couldn't do something.
"Momo, I'll teach you."
Yun Mo was a little arrogant, "No, I like to use scissors."
Seeing that she didn't want to learn, Ling Chuan didn't force her. Instead, he took out a few bags of earrings from the sack and handed them to her.
Yun Mo walked under the light, took out a few pairs of earrings and looked at them carefully, then turned to ask the man, "What's the price for this?"
"6 points."
In terms of quality and style, the price of 6 cents is quite good. In Jiang City, such a pair of earrings can be sold for 70 or 80 cents, and even if it is sold wholesale, it can be sold for at least 30 cents.
After checking all the goods, Yun Mo was completely relieved.
The man was very obedient and bought the goods according to the key points listed on her list. If he sold all the goods, he would definitely make 2,000 yuan.
Thinking about this, Yun Mo turned around and asked the man, "Did you have a smooth journey?"
"Yeah, it went pretty smoothly."
After that, Ling Chuan took the initiative to tell her about his itinerary, "I arrived at the train station at 11 noon, waited for more than an hour to pick up the goods, and finished loading the goods at about 2 o'clock. After that, I went to Nanshi first."
"What are you doing in Nanshi?"
"deliver goods."
After saying that, Ling Chuan suddenly pulled her out excitedly.
Seeing that Ling Chuan wanted to take her to his room, Yun Mo became inexplicably nervous.
What did he want to do by taking her to the room in the middle of the night? Yun Mo's heartbeat quickened, and all kinds of thoughts and images flashed through her mind.
After entering the room, Ling Chuan pulled her straight towards the bed, and Yun Mo's heartbeat became completely disordered.
Before she could figure out how to respond, Ling Chuan let go of her hand, picked up the shoulder bag on the bed, and searched inside.
Last time, Ling Chuan also took out more than 100 yuan from his bag, and he would not do the same this time...
Before I could finish my thought, I saw Ling Chuan take out a stack of banknotes.
Yun Mo: “…”
There really wasn't a single surprise.
Good night~ (End of this chapter)
