Chapter 180 Bruise
Although it was only a moment, Li Xu saw it clearly.
There is a bruise on Hu Chunli's face, just below her eye socket!
In order to avoid embarrassment, Li Xu quickly turned her head away and pretended not to see it.
Hu Chunli wore a mask for the first time, probably to cover up the bruises on her face.
Hu Chunli has always loved beauty and would wear skirts and coats even in winter.
As a woman, Li Xu can understand it.
However, Li Xu's actions seemed to be making things more obvious.
Hu Chunli explained: "I accidentally bumped into it last night, and I wore a mask in case people misunderstood me."
As she spoke, Hu Chunli firmly grabbed Yang Jingyi's hand and said, "Let's go home and have dinner."
Yang Jingyi wanted to struggle again, but Ji Yuanyuan saw this and quickly persuaded her: "Jingyi, go home quickly. I also want to go home for dinner. Come and play with me after dinner!"
After hearing Ji Yuanyuan's words, Yang Jingyi waved her hand reluctantly and followed Hu Chunli home.
Looking at Hu Chunli's back, Li Xu sighed helplessly.
When will this little girl Jingyi be able to understand some things?
Why does it seem like you're becoming more and more impatient with Hu Chunli recently?
She knew that children love to play by nature, and if their nature is always suppressed, they will inevitably become rebellious.
But Yang Jingyi's situation...
It won’t work if Hu Chunli doesn’t watch carefully!
When I got home, Zhang Kun had already prepared dinner.
While washing dishes, Li Xu thought more and more that there was something wrong with Hu Chunli's reaction.
If she really bumped into it accidentally, wasn't Hu Chunli's reaction a bit too extreme?
Could it be that he had a fight with Yang Jingyi’s father?
Thinking of this, Li Xu became a little uneasy.
After dinner, Yang Jingyi came over with a small schoolbag on her back.
Besides books, there are snacks in the schoolbag.
Zhang Kun helped her get a stool, and the two of them lay on Ji Yuanyuan's desk, doing their homework.
Yang Jingyi skipped a grade due to her illness and couldn't keep up with many things, so it was basically Ji Yuanyuan who tutored her.
Li Xu was lying on the sofa in the living room, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was not right.
In the end, she couldn't help it, so she went to the kitchen to wash some fruits, put them on a plate, and took it to Ji Yuanyuan's bedroom.
After entering the room, she placed the fruit on the desk and said softly, "You've been studying for a long time. Take a break and eat some fruit!"
Yang Jingyi was originally frowning, but when she heard Li Xu say that they could take a break, she immediately became happy.
She took a peach from the plate and thanked Li Xu sweetly: "Thank you, Auntie. The peach is so sweet."
Li Xu reached out and rubbed Yang Jingyi's little head: "If you like to eat it, bring some back when you leave later and let your parents have a taste too!"
Yang Jingyi was not polite and nodded directly: "Okay!"
Li Xu looked at Yang Jingyi's little face, paused for a moment and then asked: "Jingyi, why didn't I see your father pick you up? Is your father very busy?"
Yang Jingyi answered innocently: "Yes, my father is very busy and doesn't have much time to spend with me."
Li Xu nodded thoughtfully: "Since your father is so busy, will your mother quarrel with him?"
Yang Jingyi shook her head: "No, my mother said that my father never came home because he wanted to make money. She would never quarrel with my father!"
Hearing Yang Jingyi's words, Li Xu felt relieved.
Maybe she was really overthinking it?
She stood up, walked out the door, and told the two people: "Study hard!"
After Li Xu walked out, Yang Jingyi leaned over to Ji Yuanyuan's ear and whispered softly: "Your mother is so weird, she just told us to take a break, and now she wants us to study quickly!"
Ji Yuanyuan naturally knew the reason why Li Xu came in.
Li Xu and Hu Chunli only exchanged two sentences before they noticed something was wrong with each other.
She came back with Hu Chunli today, and she had already noticed something wrong with her.
"Your father and mother really don't quarrel?" Ji Yuanyuan did not answer Yang Jingyi's question, but asked instead.
Yang Jingyi looked at Ji Yuanyuan in surprise: "Really? Why would I lie to you?"
"Then how did your mother get her face hit?" Ji Yuanyuan asked again.
"I don't know. She was fine when I went to school in the morning, but it turned blue when I got home from school at noon. My mother said she accidentally fell while cleaning at home."
Ji Yuanyuan nodded thoughtfully, then reached out and patted Yang Jingyi's arm: "Eat quickly, and then we'll continue studying. If you rank last in the exam this time, don't say you're my friend."
Hearing this, Yang Jingyi ate the remaining peach in three or two bites with a bitter face. After throwing the peach pit into the trash can, she followed Ji Yuanyuan to do her homework.
Early the next morning, Zhang Kun and Li Xu got up almost at the same time.
One went to work and the other went to the store.
Li Xu's shop hasn't been properly opened for several days. If it doesn't open soon, all the customers will run away.
She had already made an appointment with the driver, and at around 1:00 p.m., the driver went directly to the greenhouse.
Anyway, the driver has been there twice and is familiar with the route.
She wouldn't have to go back with him, saving herself the hassle of going back and forth.
More than half of the cucumbers were ripe, but one truck couldn't transport them all. The driver made two trips and was barely able to finish transporting them all.
However, these nearly ten thousand kilograms of cucumbers filled Li Xu's store.
Li Xu and the driver finally finished unloading at six o'clock.
After paying the driver his wages, it was already completely dark.
Li Xu brought Ji Yuanyuan into the store, pulled the curtains from inside, and the two began to move the cucumbers into the space.
It wasn't until half past six that we finally finished moving.
Ji Yuanyuan didn't do much work, but she was already exhausted. Then she looked at Li Xu, whose face was covered in sweat.
Li Xu panted heavily and whispered, "No, it's too risky. If I have money next year, I will have to rent a cold storage."
It's like this every time, only going in and not out, it might arouse suspicion.
Not to mention others, even Zhang Kun might find something wrong.
Now that we have the start-up capital, it is better to use Yuanyuan’s space less in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Xu quickly pulled Ji Yuanyuan home and said, "Let's go home quickly. Your Uncle Zhang will probably be back soon."
When she got home, she simply washed her face and started cooking for the children.
As soon as he got started, Zhang Kun walked in.
Seeing Li Xu cooking, he was a little surprised and said, "You haven't eaten yet?"
"Well, I've been busy loading and unloading cargo this afternoon and haven't had time to cook." Li Xu said.
"Are you hungry?" Zhang Kun rolled up his sleeves and looked at Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head: "We ate some cookies after school, so we're not hungry now."
