Then he lifted her blanket, pulled her into his arms, held her tightly, and buried his face in her neck, inhaling deeply... She was a little scared and dared not move, so she pretended to be asleep until she finally fell asleep again.
The next day, when they opened their eyes, they found themselves embracing each other and felt extremely awkward, but they both tacitly understood and quickly sat up to get dressed.
Tiger is a very honest man; he was already waiting in the yard with two bottles of wine early in the morning.
When Wei Mingshen saw him, he scolded, "Why didn't you call me when you came? I got up so early!"
Tiger chuckled and said, "No rush, no rush, I haven't been here long."
Cao Maizi, who was cooking in the kitchen, said, "As soon as Hu Zi came, I told him I was going to call you, but he wouldn't let me, afraid you wouldn't get enough sleep. Oh, that kid is so kind."
Wei Mingshen said, "We should go to the department store to get things done as soon as possible. Let's also go to the department store to buy some things. Let's not eat at home. Let's go now and have some breakfast at a breakfast stall in the county town."
After saying that, he went back into the house and said to Su Xueli, who was sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair, "I took Hu Zi to the county town. Is there anything you need me to buy?"
Su Xueli said, "No. By the way, bring some money; you can't be stingy when you need someone to do something for you."
She handed Wei Mingshen 50 yuan.
Wei Mingshen exclaimed, "Wow, that's quite a lot! We can't possibly use that much."
They said it but took it naturally, just like an old married couple.
Aside from receiving money from his mother when he was a child, this was the first woman he would gladly accept money from. He was certain that even during his passionate relationship with Lin Meizhi, he would never have accepted money from her.
Su Xueli scolded him, "If you can't spend it, why would you throw it away? Tiger's family is so poor, even if you're doing something for him, don't let him pay. Since you're helping him, be generous. With Tiger's character, if he makes money, he'll definitely guarantee you a minimum income."
Wei Mingshen got jealous again, "I've noticed that you treat everyone else better than me."
Su Xueli rolled her eyes. "How many times have you said that? I treat everyone else better than you. You should find out why yourself."
After saying that, she went to wash her face in the basin and ignored him.
Wei Mingshen snorted and walked out.
At breakfast, only Su Xueli, her parents-in-law, and herself remained, making the place unusually quiet. Cao Maizi deliberately tried to make conversation to ease the awkwardness caused by the farce her daughter had made the night before.
Su Xueli interrupted her, "Mother, I'm going to town after breakfast."
Cao Maizi immediately said, "Go on, go on, the New Year isn't over yet, the town is bustling with activity. Look at you, everyone else is playing during the New Year, but you two are making straw crafts to earn money, you must be so bored."
Su Xueli smiled and said, "No, Mom. There's nothing fun outside. It's no fun playing all day. I'm going out today because I have something to do."
Cao Maizi's face tightened. She had heard about the fight between her daughter-in-law and Lin Meizhi. Her daughter had said some very hurtful things last night. Would she go and find Lin Meizhi?
Cao Maizi was scared, so she asked cautiously, "Xueli, tell your mother the truth, you didn't go to town to see that Lin Meizhi, did you?"
Su Xueli was speechless at her mother-in-law's wild imagination. She smiled wryly and said, "Mom, what are you thinking? I'm going to town to take care of some things for my family. It's completely different from what Lin Meizhi is thinking."
Besides, I have absolutely no relationship with her, why would I bother with her? The last time we fought was because she provoked me while I was shopping, not because I started the fight.
Cao Maizi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good. I was worried you'd get hurt. That girl isn't a good person, otherwise my husband and I wouldn't have stood up for them so fiercely..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you telling the child this? You're getting senile," Wei Tiezhu scolded his wife in a low voice.
Cao Maizi chuckled and said, "That's right, that's right. Why bring her up? Let's eat."
Su Xueli went to town to visit her cousin and He Yulan. There were many things to do during the Spring Festival, and she had been busy making money these past few days, so she hadn't had a chance to visit the young couple.
Besides, Dad said the day before yesterday that he was going to take people to He Yulan's house to demand her return, but I don't know what the situation is.
