Chapter 33 She Dare Not Hit You
Hearing this, Shen Mei was a little annoyed and said, “Sister, I am thinking about you with good intentions, why do you have to scold a six-year-old child?”
Shen Lingxue was held by Shen Mei's hand, looking at Ji Yuanyuan with a sinister look on her face.
Ji Yuanyuan showed an innocent smile, which made Shen Lingxue's face flush red.
"Don't call me sister? Do you think this is ancient times? Then shouldn't you offer me a cup of mistress tea?"
Chen Mei felt insulted, and her eyes immediately turned red: "Sister, don't you feel guilty for saying this? When did I..."
Li Xu sneered, looked at Chen Mei's belly, and said bluntly: "I've been divorced for less than three months, and your belly must have been this big for at least three months, right?"
A three-month-old belly is still not noticeable, Li Xu was just saying it casually.
Anyway, Chen Mei couldn't open her belly for everyone to see.
Chen Mei didn't expect that Li Xu would become so eloquent. She gritted her teeth, but after a moment, she seemed to have thought of something and her expression became proud.
"Sister, I have some good news to share with you. Jianguo's unit finally got his turn to get a welfare house. He only paid 10,000 yuan and got a large three-bedroom apartment. Our family of three lives nearby. Sister, do you rent a house nearby? Or do you come from the countryside every day?"
Ji Zixuan frowned, and could naturally hear the sarcasm and boasting in Shen Mei's words.
He said coldly: "We bought a house, also a large three-bedroom house, but it was more expensive than yours when we bought it."
Chen Mei thought he was just bragging: "Houses here are not cheap, where did you get the money? Zixuan, it's not good to learn to lie at such a young age."
Hearing this, Ji Ziang rolled his eyes angrily and said, "Believe it or not, our house is much better than yours."
"Our house is good, yours is a shabby house." Shen Lingxue said angrily, then leaned over, took a tomato from Li Xu's box, and threw it at Ji Ziang.
Fortunately, Ji Ziang dodged quickly, otherwise the tomato would have hit him on the head and made him see stars.
The tomato fell to the ground and rolled far away.
Li Xu quickly pulled Ji Ziang over and asked worriedly, "How is it? Are you okay?"
Ji Ziang shook his head.
Seeing this, the people around him deliberately spoke up for Li Xu: "Why is this child so rude?"
"This is too petty. The other person didn't say anything, but he hit him."
"Humph, this kid is too proud. She can't stand hearing that other people's things are better than hers."
Shen Lingxue, who was listening to these words, naturally knew that she was being scolded, and she threw herself into Shen Mei's arms aggrievedly.
Ji Yuanyuan walked with her short legs to pick up the tomato.
Standing in front of the stall, Ji Yuanyuan held up the tomato that was smashed by Shen Lingxue: “Aunt Xiaosan, the tomatoes were smashed by my sister. You are so rich, you will definitely compensate my mother, right?”
Shen Mei was already angry that these people dared to say that about her precious daughter.
Now, hearing Ji Yuanyuan's words again, he immediately became furious and said angrily, "Do you have any manners? Who taught you to say that?"
"I'm sorry, I heard the neighbor aunt call you that, I thought you just called Aunt Xiaosan..." Ji Yuanyuan pretended to be scared and hid behind the aunt next door.
The auntie at the vegetable stall next door was plump and looked very safe, so she covered Ji Yuanyuan tightly.
"You have done something shameless, why are you scaring a child?" The aunt next door spoke to Chen Mei speechlessly.
He turned to Ji Yuanyuan and smiled kindly: "With Aunt Liang here, she won't dare to hit you."
Ji Yuanyuan nodded, thinking that Aunt Liang was a righteous person.
Chen Mei gritted her teeth and looked at Li Xu. After a moment, she forced a smile and said, "Forget it. I won't argue with her about what she said. Jianguo thinks that 600 yuan a month is too little. Besides, he has already bought a house. He wants to resign after the New Year. He also happened to have saved some money. He wants to go to the south to try his luck."
When she said this, Shen Mei's expression was very proud.
Ji Yuanyuan sighed in her heart.
If Ji Jianguo had come up with this idea a few years ago, he might have made a name for himself.
Unfortunately, in the financial crisis of 1997, many people lost their fortunes.
In his previous life, Ji Jianguo was lucky enough to avoid the financial crisis, which allowed him to expand his career.
In this life, without Ji Yuanyuan's luck bonus, Ji Jianguo actually ran into this hurdle.
However, Ji Yuanyuan had no intention of reminding them.
Just think of it as a lesson for them and let Chen Mei be proud for the time being.
Chen Mei thought that after she said all this, Li Xu might be angry or jealous.
There should always be some expression on your face.
But to her disappointment, the expression on Li Xu's face was surprisingly calm.
Even greeted the customers who came during the period.
Shen Mei was so angry that she couldn't say a word.
He left with Shen Lingxue.
After Chen Mei left, the older sister next to her came over and said, “Sister, it turns out it’s not easy for you either.”
Originally, Li Xu's business was good, and she was pretty, kept herself neat, and spoke differently from them, in a gentle and warm manner. All of them were more or less jealous of her.
I just didn't expect that even though Li Xu is so beautiful, her husband would cheat on her.
Li Xu smiled and said, "What's the big deal? I still have three children. I will only suffer for a few years. When the children grow up, I will enjoy the good life with them."
Hearing Li Xu's words, Sister Liang showed an appreciative expression on her face: "You are right to think so. How can a man be more important than a child? If he likes to eat shit, let him eat it. You just need to focus on taking care of the three children."
Before Li Xu could say anything else, the other guests couldn't wait any longer.
Li Xu could only serve the dishes to the guests first.
There were a lot of people on the weekend, and all of Li Xu’s dishes were sold out before 8:30.
Sister Liang helped her look after the stall while she took her three children home to get some vegetables again.
Ji Zixuan looked at Li Xu who was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and said with some heartache: "Mom, when you make money, buy a bicycle."
With a bicycle, you can carry it here, which is much easier.
Li Xu has also been thinking about this recently. A new bicycle costs about three hundred yuan.
She was reluctant to buy it, not to mention that the new bicycle was too eye-catching. This community was so close to the vegetable market, and with so many people coming and going, it was inevitable that she would be noticed.
If it was stolen, she would be so sad.
So, Li Xu thought that when she was free, she would ask Xiaoyong to take her to the second-hand market to have a look.
Just buy a bicycle that is 70% to 80% new.
Her budget is within fifty dollars.
Just as he was thinking about it, Ji Ziang suddenly asked, "Mom, where do we get so many vegetables?"
There have been so many extra vegetables at home lately, and no one has come to deliver them.
Li Xu could only lie: "One of my mother's old classmates has a greenhouse at home. He comes here every day to deliver food to the big restaurant, and he saves some for me."
