"So we need to meet again?"
Su Xueli tilted her head back, looked directly into his eyes, and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Wei Mingshen immediately backed down, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I was just asking. When do we meet? I'll go with you."
Su Xueli sneered, "I'll go and call him."
"Ah, there's a contact number?" Wei Mingshen felt a pang of sadness.
Su Xueli said, "Yes, he gave me his home phone number. I went to find a phone booth and called him. He came out and gave me the photos and negatives."
Wei Mingshen pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Okay, okay."
A surge of vengeful pleasure welled up inside Su Xueli: What, you're jealous? You can be jealous of me too? Then let you taste what jealousy feels like.
Actually, Wei Mingshen was really jealous of He Yujie. He had just seen the two of them sitting so close and whispering to each other, and there was definitely something fishy going on...
But he didn't dare ask at the moment and decided to wait and see.
He suddenly sighed: Why am I so useless?
When did it start?
Lin Meizhi attempted suicide, and Wei Mingyue stayed by her side at the hospital, acting like a lackey. Lin Meizhi and Wei Mingshen reached an agreement, and Lin Meizhi told Wei Mingyue to go home, saying that she was fine and would be discharged the next day.
Wei Mingyue had no choice but to slink home.
No one came to pick her up, and she felt too ashamed to go inside, so she went into her room and wouldn't come out.
She didn't dare sit at the table for dinner that night, and took her bowl to her room instead.
The family looked at each other, smiled, and ignored her.
Cao Maizi then started worrying about Wei Mingyue again, saying that she was so old and still didn't have a husband, and that she was just staying at home daydreaming about becoming a teacher.
She turned to her son for help: "Shenzi, you have many comrades-in-arms. Ask them and their families to help your sister find a husband. This is really worrying your father and me."
Wei Mingshen flatly refused: "I don't care about this."
Knowing his son's temperament, Cao Maizi said nothing more.
She then turned to Su Xueli, "Xueli, is there anyone suitable in your village? Talk to your sister about it, and if she gets married and leaves soon, we'll all be at peace."
Su Xueli replied perfunctorily, "Okay, Mom, I'll have my mother ask her."
"Auntie, sister-in-law, we haven't finished eating yet." Tiger stood at the kitchen doorway holding a large porcelain bowl.
Tiger has already started collecting eggs. Because his eggs are one cent more expensive than others' and he has an honest appearance, almost everyone in the surrounding villages sells their eggs to him.
"Tiger, you've already eaten. Come inside and have some more," Cao Maizi hurriedly invited him.
Tiger came in carrying a large porcelain bowl, chuckling as he said, "These are the broken eggs I collected. I can't sell them, so I'll just eat them myself. I brought them to you, Auntie. Please eat them."
Cao Maizi hurriedly pushed the eggs away, telling him to take them back and eat them himself, saying that his family members were sick and elderly and needed to eat eggs to supplement their nutrition.
Tiger got anxious: "Auntie, once I bring them here, I can't take them back. I collect so many eggs every day, and so many of them get cracked and broken. My family can't possibly eat them all."
Wei Ming knew Hu Zi well, so he stopped his mother and said, "Mother, Hu Zi is not an outsider. If he brought it, just keep it. Why be so polite?"
Su Xueli also said, "Mother, Hu Zi has already brought it here, there's no reason to take it back."
Cao Maizi reluctantly accepted the dozen or so cracked eggs.
Wei Mingshen swallowed the last bite of rice, stood up, and said to Hu Zi, "Come on, let's go back inside and tell me about the recent business situation."
