Liu Fengying looked around and said, "You stay here and don't move. I'll go out and buy you some breakfast, then go home and get you some food and supplies, and then bring the dog back."
Su Xueli was happy to enjoy her mother's care, and lay down on the bed, saying, "Okay!"
Liu Fengying saw that all of her daughter's dowry had been brought over and was neatly arranged, and couldn't help but ask, "Did that boy help you with all of this?"
Su Xueli said, "Yes, he left after he finished packing."
Liu Fengying sighed and said, "If it weren't for that person, you two would be doing just fine."
Su Xueli corrected, "Mom, don't get it backwards. I'm the third party. The two of them are a couple."
Liu Fengying waved her hand with a bitter face, "I'm not going to talk about it anymore."
She took a large enamel mug from the kitchen and went out.
In those days, when you went out to buy breakfast, you had to carry the food back yourself, unlike later generations with convenient bags and disposable tableware.
Her mother went to the market to buy food for herself. Su Xueli saw the bright sunshine in the west and decided to air out the quilts, mattresses, and pillows later.
She went to the yard, filled a basin with water, washed and wiped the clothesline with an old towel, and then looked around the yard.
This courtyard is really nice; it's square and spacious, and close to the town.
An idea popped into her head: once she made some money, she'd see if she could buy it. As a reborn person, she knew how much the land in town could appreciate in value in the future.
This place was later developed into a shopping mall, and the owners of the courtyard received a large sum of money.
But in this lifetime, perhaps it won't be the turn of other developers in the future.
She was squatting by the hand pump washing a towel when suddenly a dark cloud covered the basin. When she looked up, Wei Mingshen was standing in front of her with a dark expression on his face.
"Can't you say something? You scared me like that," she scolded him.
Wei Mingshen asked in a deep voice, "Where did you go last night?"
Su Xueli instinctively didn't want to tell him the truth about being sent home by He Yujie last night, so she lied and said, "I slept here last night and locked the door early this morning."
"You're lying! You didn't come to sleep at all last night!"
Su Xueli's heart skipped a beat, and she asked him, "Are you spying on me?"
He said, "I was worried you'd be scared here all alone, so I came to check on you."
Su Xueli felt a warmth in her heart, but she calmly reminded him, "We're already divorced."
Wei Mingshen said, "Aren't we still business partners even after the divorce?"
Su Xueli thought for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "That's true, you'll still have to work for me. By the way, what did you say to Dad... oh no, your father about that, Maocao?"
Wei Mingshen said, "We'll bring it over this afternoon."
Su Xueli lowered her head and asked, "They all know, right?"
Wei Mingshen said, "I understand."
"They didn't cause any trouble, did they?"
“They wanted to make a scene and come to your parents to persuade us not to divorce and to stay together. I stopped them and told them that we both have other people in our hearts and that divorce was inevitable. They gave up then.”
