She was surprised; he was already making money at this point?
Wei Mingshen said, "Let me tell you the truth. My comrade and I smuggled some things from the south. My comrade went to the south to get the goods, and I sold them privately."
Su Xueli was shocked: "What are you dealing in? Are they illegal products?"
Wei Mingshen objected, "What are you thinking with that little head of yours? Would a retired soldier like me do anything illegal!"
Su Xueli quickly apologized, then curiously propped herself up in bed and asked in a low voice, "So what are you all doing?"
Wei Mingshen said, "He would dabble in whatever rare or unusual things he saw in the South, and I would sell them to him."
Su Xueli asked, "How do you sell them?"
Wei Mingshen honestly said, "Lin Meizhi sells some, and I sell some myself. Anyway, there aren't many goods, so I can just earn some pocket money."
Su Xueli understood; he and Lin Meizhi also had a business relationship.
It's truly tragic that she knew nothing of these things in her past life.
She shrank back under the covers, closed her eyes, and said nothing more.
"Why are you suddenly silent? You're not upset that I didn't give you money to spend, are you?" Wei Mingshen asked.
Su Xueli turned around and said to him with her back to him, "No, I won't spend your money. We're not going to be a couple forever."
Wei Mingshen pressed his arms down under his neck, sighed deeply, and said, "Well, I'm actually at a disadvantage. The wedding banquet was held, and the registration was done, but I didn't even get a chance to participate."
Su Xueli ignored him.
He got even more excited and said mischievously, "Actually, we're divorced, so no one will believe you if you say I didn't touch you."
Su Xueli instinctively shrank back, not daring to answer a word, afraid that he would really take advantage of her, and then she would have no recourse...
"Hey, are you asleep?" Wei Mingshen turned closer to her and asked.
Su Xueli instinctively snapped at him, "Stay away from me!"
Wei Mingshen said, "Do you think I'd eat you?" while politely shifting his body away.
He sensed the tension in the person beside him and gave a mischievous smile. He yawned and said, "I'm not teasing you anymore, go to sleep."
The next day, Su Xueli had to make straw weaving herself. She finished weaving and left it to wait for Wei Mingshen to come back and dye it.
With her son not home, Cao Maizi wanted to come and help her daughter-in-law, but Su Xueli told her that she couldn't help with the work and could just watch the brazier.
Cao Maizi sat by the ash basin, watching the fire while sewing shoe soles.
With her son not around, she talked to her daughter-in-law about Lin Meizhi. She said that she and her husband didn't like her at first sight, and after hearing about her character, they were even more determined not to let their son marry her.
Regarding her coming to the house that night, she apologized to her daughter-in-law, saying, "It's all my fault for not keeping a close eye on your sister. Your sister brought her home without permission. It won't happen again. If she comes again, I'll kick her out."
Su Xueli had no doubt that she would do this, so she smiled and said, "Mom, I'm not that petty. She and my sister are good friends, and there's nothing wrong with her coming to our house."
Cao Maizi said with disgust, "Forget it, everyone knows what she's up to when she comes to our house. She's shameless. She knows my son already has a wife, yet she still has the nerve to come to our house. I won't tolerate her."
Su Xueli asked, "Mother, to be honest, I don't quite understand. Lin Meizhi is so beautiful, and she likes Mingshen so much. Her family is also rich and powerful. Your son is marrying her, which would be a great honor for your whole family. Why don't you and Father agree?"
It is human nature to climb higher.
Cao Maizi shook his head: "Child, your father and I are honest farmers. We know that marriage should be based on social status and family background. We are not like them. There will be many problems in our future life together."
Besides, that girl isn't a good person. Her own parents don't love her, and she dresses like that. My family can't afford to support such a pampered daughter-in-law.
