Shao Jiang then introduced himself, his family situation, and even his shortcomings and strengths.
Even the most clueless person could understand the meaning behind his words. The more Yan Yan listened, the redder her face became, and the brighter her eyes grew...
Su Xueli blinked: Has Yan Yan finally figured it out?
Seeing Wei Mingshen put down his chopsticks, Su Xueli also put down hers. She took out a tissue to wipe her mouth and said, "Um, Shao Jiang, Yan Yan, Mingshen and I are going to the market to buy some things. Don't worry about us."
Yan Yan was about to get up when Shao Jiang said, "Yan Yan, let the young couple go. You eat yours, and I'll make you some egg drop soup later."
Yan Yan declined, saying, "No, no, I'm full."
Shao Jiang said, "You can't do that. You're exposed to the wind and sun every day while setting up your stall, you're severely dehydrated, you need to drink more soup."
Su Xueli and Wei Mingshen had already left the house, and the door was closed for them from the outside so they wouldn't get up.
As soon as the two stepped out of the Shaojiang Bathhouse, they ran into He Yulan, who was passing by her family's grain and oil shop and her barbershop.
Upon seeing the two of them, she exclaimed with delight, "Sister Shirley! Brother Mingshen!"
Wei Mingshen smiled and nodded at her. Su Xueli walked over to her and asked, "Are you eating at your family's shop?"
He Yulan said, "Yes, it's my mother's birthday today. My father stewed meat, and the whole family had a meal together."
After saying that, she glanced at Wei Mingshen and whispered to Su Xueli, "Didn't you tell my brother last time that you wanted to rent the courtyard where Yunfeng used to live? My brother asked me to pass on a message to you today. He's already talked to his colleague and it's okay to rent it."
But the man was very kind; he said, "Just give them some rent; they don't expect to spend that money anyway, and the house is just sitting empty."
Su Xueli was very happy to hear this and said, "Thank you, brother, but you have to name a price, otherwise I don't know how to pay."
He Yulan shook her head: "Then I don't know. How about this, Sister Xue Li, tomorrow is the weekend, my brother is at home, you can come to my shop tomorrow and I'll ask my brother to come with me so you two can talk."
Su Xueli said, "Okay, okay, I'll come over tomorrow."
After saying goodbye to He Yulan, Wei Mingshen asked Su Xueli, "What are you two women whispering about? Are you plotting to murder your husband?"
Su Xueli said, "You guessed right, you'll be sleeping with your eyes open tonight."
Wei Mingshen suddenly fell silent and didn't say another word the rest of the way. Su Xueli muttered to herself: What is he thinking? He shouldn't have heard the distance between us just now, or the way I was talking to He Yulan.
Fine, let him relieve himself as he pleases.
Once home, the two got back to work and continued working until dark.
Su Xueli looked at the finished products from the past few days and said, "Let's make some more tonight, and another day tomorrow, and we can deliver them the day after tomorrow."
Wei Mingshen added, "Then we'll be able to get your photos and the originals."
Su Xueli smelled the strong scent of jealousy again, and she thought smugly: If you're jealous, then eat it.
She said sarcastically, "You're such a worrywart!"
"How can I not worry about my wife's affairs?"
“Your wife isn’t… never mind, you’re right.”
"Shenzi, Xueli, come out for dinner!" Cao Maizi called from the kitchen.
The two went out to wash their hands and have dinner. In the afternoon, when they came back from the market, they bought a few pounds of meat. Cao Maizi made stewed sliced meat with cabbage, which tasted delicious.
Wei Mingyue had been sullen and awkward these past few days, remaining silent and ignored by everyone. Suddenly, she spoke to Su Xueli, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong before, always picking on you. I won't do it again, please forgive me."
Huh? What's going on? Su Xueli looked up from the rim of the bowl at her sister-in-law.
The whole family found it strange and stopped chewing to look at her.
