The next morning.
A thin mist hung in the air, and the dampness seeped into your bones.
Wang Qian got up despite the freezing cold.
Not wanting to disturb Lin Xiaoyu, he got up quietly, like a thief.
But when he left the room, Lin Xiaoyu, who was pretending to be asleep, opened her eyes.
Then, she quietly got up.
Wang Qian worked late last night, but he's up earlier than her now.
When he got up, Wang Qian was afraid of waking her, so he moved very carefully.
The better Wang Qian treated her, the more she wanted to do anything to help him.
The only thing she could do to help Wang Qian right now was to quickly make the amount of roasted green pepper sauce he specified.
...
"Dad, Mom, why are you up so early too?"
As soon as Wang Qian arrived in the yard, he saw his parents already busy at work.
His mother, Lu Aihua, was starting a fire in the kitchen to prepare a meal.
His father, Wang Yuanguang, was cleaning the yard.
“Yang Shenglong and the others are coming to help later. You promised to give each of them two yuan a day and provide one meal. Mom will definitely get up early to cook so that you won’t always be working on an empty stomach.”
Without turning her head, Lu Aihua, who was in the kitchen, said, "After I finish cooking, I'll go help Xiaoyu marinate the roasted green pepper sauce."
"Mom, no need!"
Wang Qian shook his head. "I've already figured out what to do."
"What are you saying?" Lu Aihua was taken aback.
"Mom, I want to pay someone to do it for me."
"Is it alright?"
Lu Aihua frowned. "Didn't you only want a thousand boxes of roasted green pepper sauce? Xiaoyu and I can finish making them in two or three more days. We won't have to waste so much money and trouble."
"Mom, this is just the beginning."
Wang Qian patiently explained, "If this business goes well, we may need more in the future, and you and Xiaoyu will definitely be too busy to handle it."
"Do you want to do more in the future?"
Lu Aihua hesitated for a moment, still somewhat reluctant, "Then how much are you planning to spend to hire someone to help? Won't you lose money by spending this much money to hire someone to help?"
"Mom, don't worry, it won't happen!"
Wang Qian said confidently, "When the business grows bigger in the future, I will definitely take all kinds of costs into account, and I will only do it if it can make money."
"That's good!"
Lu Aihua stopped insisting.
But Lin Xiaoyu, who had just come out of the bedroom, couldn't help but say, "But what if you hire someone and they don't know how to cook, or what if the taste isn't right?"
"Xiaoyu, why are you up?"
Wang Qian didn't answer the other person's question. Instead, he rushed back in a few strides, saying, "It's so early. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"No!"
Lin Xiaoyu shook her head. "I slept very well last night. I just remembered to help with something."
"Well... okay!"
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyu's face was rosy and she was full of energy, Wang Qian did not press the matter further.
But then he added, "It's so cold, why don't you wear the scarf I bought you last time?"
"It's not too cold, you don't need to wear one!"
Lin Xiaoyu gave a forced smile.
Why aren't you wearing it?
Wang Qian asked in surprise, "Don't you like it?"
"Of course not, that was the first gift you ever bought me, I definitely liked it, it's just... it's just..."
Lin Xiaoyu hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
"Xiaoyu, can't you just tell me what's on your mind?"
Wang Qian immediately became unhappy. "Or are you treating me like an outsider?"
"Huh? That's not true, don't make wild guesses!"
Lin Xiaoyu was instantly startled and stammered, "That scarf is very expensive and so beautiful. I... I was just afraid of getting it dirty, so I couldn't bear to wear it."
What?
Too expensive?
Afraid it will get dirty?
Wang Qian's face immediately darkened.
He didn't say anything more, but turned around and strode towards the bedroom.
"Wang Qian, what are you doing?"
Lin Xiaoyu's expression changed. "Don't be like this. I know I was wrong, okay?"
She didn't know what Wang Qian was going to do.
But Wang Qian's gloomy expression had long given her a psychological trauma.
Wang Qian ignored her words and quickly went into the bedroom.
When she came out again, she was carrying a fluffy scarf.
It was the one I bought for Lin Xiaoyu from the county town when I first earned money.
"Wang Qian, I really don't dislike this scarf, please don't throw it away."
Lin Xiaoyu was so anxious she was almost in tears.
The more this happened, the more Wang Qian felt as if his heart was bleeding.
My wife is so pitiful, it breaks my heart!
Even if they haven't done anything wrong, as long as they show the slightest displeasure, they will take the initiative to apologize and admit their mistakes, no matter how wronged they feel.
However, in the previous life,
He felt this was a sign of weakness, cowardice, and lack of assertiveness, and therefore loathed it.
Twenty years later, when he found Lin Xiaoyu again and found her to be completely different from her previous submissive self, becoming incredibly cold and resolute, he realized that Lin Xiaoyu was not without her own opinions, nor was she weak or cowardly; she was simply too in love.
"I'm not going to throw it away, I just want to put it on you!"
With tears welling up in his eyes, Wang Qian said this, then took the scarf and walked up to Lin Xiaoyu, forcibly putting it on her.
Lin Xiaoyu dared not refuse.
But his face was full of astonishment.
But the initial fear instantly transformed into boundless tenderness.
So, Wang Qian wasn't blaming her, nor was he going to throw the scarf away; he just wanted to put it on her?
