Upon hearing He Wenhua say this, Xia Lijuan glared at him, then turned and left in anger!
He Wenhua felt that Xia Lijuan was unreasonable.
She also felt very embarrassed, with so many customers picking up their food and she giving them the cold shoulder in front of so many people.
It was clearly her negligence that caused this, so what right does she have to be so rude?
The foreman at the garment factory even said, "Boss He, why is your wife so grumpy?"
He Wenhua didn't know how to answer.
Because He Wenhua was quite nice and promised to give a serving of fried noodles to the customers who bought fast food today at noon tomorrow, no one said much.
After distributing the meals, He Wenhua rode his bicycle back to the store.
He Wenhua was also very angry. Xia Lijuan ignored him, and he was too lazy to pay attention to her either.
It was already 6:40, and He Wenhua was starving. He served himself some rice, sat down, and started eating.
Xia Lijuan was furious when she saw him start eating on his own. She yelled, "How can you still eat?!"
"What do I have to lose? I've been working all day, can't I even eat?" He Wenhua was also very angry, so his voice was loud.
"Why did you say you were giving them away for free? Do you know how much we lost in this whole affair?"
"Then whose fault is it? Shouldn't it be yours? Isn't it your fault? You went to the factory to get the order, and you misremembered their closing time. If it weren't for you, would we need to apologize or compensate you? And you still give me attitude, you're so temperamental!"
"I didn't do it on purpose! And you're blaming me? Aren't I tired every day? Waaah..."
Xia Lijuan felt extremely wronged.
"It's not your fault, it's mine, right?"
When He Wenhua first realized the meal had been delivered too early, he did feel a little resentful towards Xia Lijuan. However, he also knew that everyone makes mistakes, so he quickly tried to find a way to make amends.
Before opening the store, He Wenlin had emphasized to them that they must pay attention to the factory's closing time when delivering meals in the afternoon!
Because the lunch break is fixed, the afternoon break may vary depending on whether or not overtime is required.
He Wenlin had encountered this situation before, and she directly returned the voucher to express her apology. So He Wenhua directly offered to treat them to a free meal of fried noodles or fried rice as an apology.
He Wenhua didn't expect Xia Lijuan to react so strongly; she even threw a tantrum.
"In short, I disagree with delivering fried noodles! It would be a loss if we did. I own this shop, and I said no deliveries allowed!"
"You drove it? Hah." He Wenhua laughed in anger.
"How much did you contribute? The money to open the shop was borrowed from my grandma and my sister. I learned the skills at my uncle's shop. How dare you say you own the shop? You see my sister lent me five thousand and my grandma gave me two thousand, and you send your meager salary of a little over a thousand to your parents' home. And you still say you own the shop? What in the shop was bought with your money? I can still run this shop without you. Do you think you can be the boss's wife without me?"
Xia Lijuan was speechless, choked by the words.
He Wenhua didn't mind her sending money back to her parents' home. He knew that her younger siblings were in school, and as the older sister, she couldn't just ignore them now that she was working.
However, Xia Lijuan refused to pay a single cent and shamelessly claimed that she owned the shop!
What he found most unacceptable was that she made a mistake and then blamed him!
Hearing He Wenhua's words, Xia Lijuan became agitated: "What do you mean now? Huh? What do you mean? He Wenhua, now that you've opened a shop, do you think you're so great? Don't you?"
"Yes! That's exactly what I meant!"
He Wenhua didn't actually mean it that way, but Xia Lijuan's hysterical and unreasonable behavior annoyed him, so he didn't bother to explain and simply admitted it in anger.
Xia Lijuan looked at He Wenhua in disbelief, then rushed over crying and hit him, calling him a heartless man.
He Wenhua was furious, but he couldn't bring himself to fight back, so he could only push Xia Lijuan away and then slip away.
Xia Lijuan also cried as she went to a phone booth outside to make a phone call home.
"Cry, cry, all you know how to do is cry! I told you back then, don't marry far away, don't marry far away and now you're suffering! Now that you're suffering, who can help you!"
Over the phone, Xia's mother scolded Xia Lijuan.
After a pause, Xia's mother continued, "Your brother will graduate in about two months. Have him come live with you later, so you and your brother can look after each other and avoid being bullied."
As soon as Xia's mother finished speaking, Xia's father snatched the phone away: "How's business at your fast food restaurant?"
"Business is alright, I can make around 500 yuan."
Upon hearing that it was five hundred yuan, Xia's father was quite excited: "That's so much!! What about the profit?"
"Profits are hard to say. If nothing unexpected happens, we should definitely make a 50/50 profit. But like today, we won't make any money, and we might even lose money."
"Who told you not to be more careful?" Xia's father said. "Men with money go bad, so you need to hold onto your money. We're planning to build a house this year, so send 30,000 yuan back."
"Where would I get the money? I haven't even bought an air conditioner for the store, and I haven't even installed a telephone yet."
“You have so much to do every day. The air conditioner and the telephone will only last for half a month. Anyway, you need to send 30,000 yuan home before the Dragon Boat Festival so that your family can build a house.” After saying that, Xia’s father added, “If Xiao He doesn’t agree, just say that this is the bride price.”
"Okay, I'll talk to him."
~
Xia Lijuan agreed, but she didn't intend to back down first. She felt that as a girl, she definitely needed a boy to take the initiative to coax her.
As a result, He Wenhua didn't speak to her at all.
At 9:40 p.m., He Wenhua packed up his stall and went to his usual spot to sell late-night snacks, without inviting her to come along.
What does that mean? Are you planning to distance yourself from me? Are you planning to never speak again?
Xia Lijuan was furious!
If she doesn't want to go, she doesn't want to go; she's happy to have it easy!
He Wenhua was furious when she saw that she hadn't come along. She thought this woman was completely unreasonable! It was clearly her fault, but she refused to admit it, and now she wouldn't even go to sell late-night snacks!
He Wenhua went to set up a stall alone, fuming.
Although Rose Garment Factory is not working overtime today, He Wenhua's late-night snack business is still not affected.
He Wenhua packed up and went home at 10:50.
Back home, after washing up, He Wenhua went straight to bed without saying a word to Xia Lijuan.
Xia Lijuan was so angry she almost vomited blood, and she stubbornly refused to speak to He Wenhua!
The next morning, Xia Lijuan got up a little after six o'clock, but He Wenhua lay motionless. Usually at this time, they would have already gotten up to prepare to sell fried noodles and fried rice.
However, Xia Lijuan still had to wait for He Wenhua to take the initiative to speak to her before she would talk to him.
So Xia Lijuan didn't call him, but after she got up, she deliberately made a lot of noise, and He Wenhua turned over and continued to sleep!
Xia Lijuan was so angry she almost fell backward!
