Chapter 95 Asking for Money Again
Ai Xiaoxia actually found it quite funny, because now it seems that Ai Laibao's fiancée is completely protective of her family.
Ai Laibao obeyed the woman's family's orders and promised to give a lot of money and effort to his mother-in-law's family in the future. Wouldn't Meng Qiuju be furious when that happened? It's really a matter of time, and no one can escape.
Entering the house, Guan Mingyue was setting the table. Seeing Ai Xiaoxia coming back, she said, "Xiaoxia is back. Let's eat now."
This time, Ai Xiaoxia didn't want to pay much attention to Guan Mingyue, because Guan Mingyue had not been married for long, Meng Qiuju would not completely trust her, and she could not get the clues she wanted from her.
This time, Ai Xiaoxia has a clear goal. She doesn't want to waste time. There will be plenty of opportunities to take revenge on Guan Mingyue in the future.
She nodded, said nothing, and went to get some water to wash her hands.
After washing my hands and looking for hand oil in my bag, I found that it had been rummaged through. However, this was expected. There was nothing in it anyway, so I let them rummage through it. They couldn't steal my clothes.
Guan Mingyue watched Ai Xiaoxia wash her hands, curled her lips, and thought to herself, you're just pretending to be clean, washing your hands before eating, why haven't I seen you be so particular about this before?
But she didn't dare say it because she still relied on her sister-in-law to bring money home in the future.
Ai Xiaoxia greased her hands, and Guan Mingyue started serving the dishes, so the meal was soon served.
However, Ai Xiaoping did not sit at the table. She served food to everyone and helped them with things.
Ai Xiaoxia said to Ai Xiaoping, "Xiaoping, come here and eat next to me."
Ai Xiaoping didn't dare: "Sister, I'll eat after you finish eating."
Ai Xiaoxia pulled Ai Xiaoping to sit next to her: "We are all family. In this new society, there is no rule that prohibits sitting at the table when eating."
Ai Xiaoping didn't dare to sit down, but Ai Xiaoxia forced her to sit down, served her a bowl of rice and two pieces of meat: "Eat quickly, you are growing."
Just as Ai Laibao was about to speak, Meng Qiuju kicked him: "Eat, pick some food for your sister. Your sister finally came back. How can life outside compare to home? Even after all the fights and quarrels, brothers and sisters are still connected by blood. No matter how you look at it, your in-laws are still outsiders. How can they compare to your own family?"
Meng Qiuju had already reminded Ai Laibao several times just now. In addition, Ai Laibao had been beaten by Ai Xiaoxia before, so he learned his lesson this time and picked up some food for Ai Xiaoxia: "Sister, eat some food." After all, she wouldn't die if she said something nice, and she would benefit from it in the future, which would be a good deal.
Ai Xiaoxia naturally understood Meng Qiuju's hidden meaning and knew what Ai Laibao wanted, but this time she came back to infiltrate the enemy and steal important information, so she cooperated appropriately.
She said to Ai Laibao, "Thank you. After all, he is my brother and you are on my side." After saying this, she quickly ate some pickles to suppress her nausea, feeling a little nauseous.
Meng Qiuju found the entry point and quickly continued, "Xiaoxia, you used to fight with your brother, but the bond between blood is like that between broken bones. The bond between your in-laws and your own brothers is incomparable."
Ai Xiaoxia felt amused. She really wanted to ask Meng Qiuju, aren’t you afraid that Guan Mingyue might have second thoughts when you say that?
But this time she wasn't here to fight them, she was here to find clues, so she had to let the other party let down their guard first. So she said, "Yeah, Mom is right," and continued eating.
Meng Qiuju was secretly delighted, thinking that there must be a conflict between Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen, but she was also worried that they would divorce. If Ai Xiaoxia came back, it would be difficult to deal with, as she couldn't support her.
So Meng Qiuju asked tentatively: "Xiaoxia, you and Jingshen are husband and wife after all. If there are some conflicts or something, don't be too competitive. It's not easy to find such a good man."
Ai Xiaoxia nodded: "I know." To be honest, she couldn't say too many things against her will, so she just agreed with what was said.
At the dinner table today, everyone was very nice to Ai Xiaoxia because they all had something to ask for. Only Ai Xiaoping was the only one who sat at the table and ate her fill for the rare occasion. She didn't have too many thoughts and was just very happy to have had a good meal.
But Ai Xiaoping's thoughts have changed now, because when she looks at Ai Xiaoxia, her life has a goal and direction, so her feelings are different from before.
After dinner, Ai Xiaoxia didn't clean up and asked Ai Xiaoping to accompany her to the warehouse to look for old books. She wanted to take some of them back and read them, but in fact, she also wanted to look around for clues.
The warehouse was quite tidy, but there were only a few books, most of which were used for kindling, and they were all tattered when I looked through them.
There were no clues here. After returning to the house, Ai Xiaoxia thought of looking at the photos to see if she could find any clues.
So she told Meng Qiuju that she wanted to take some old photos and make a photo wall when she returned to her home in the city.
Meng Qiuju took out all the photo albums at home.
Ai Xiaoxia looked carefully at many old black-and-white photos, but didn't find anything special. There were a few unfamiliar people, and after asking Meng Qiuju, she didn't find anything suspicious.
But after reading it, Ai Xiaoxia took out all her own photos. These were the memories of the original owner's growth. There were only a few of them, and she wanted to preserve them well, so she put them all away and put them in her bag.
There are still no clues. Anyway, I can't be too anxious. I just got back, so I have to wait a little longer.
At night, she and Ai Xiaoping slept at the end of the kang, and the two sisters only had one quilt. Fortunately, Ai Xiaoxia was prepared. She took out a small down quilt from her bag and covered herself with it, so the two sisters would not be cold.
Ai Xiaoxia didn't fall asleep too early, wanting to listen to the old couple's whispers, but unfortunately, all she heard was their snoring.
The day passed without any discovery, but Ai Xiaoxia planned to fight a protracted battle this time, so just keep holding on.
The next morning, the weather was clear. It snowed heavily yesterday, so Ai Weimin started sweeping the snow in the yard early in the morning. Neither Ai Lai Fu nor Ai Lai Bao went out to help.
Ai Xiaoping has started cooking. She is used to getting up early to work and does housework skillfully.
Guan Mingyue didn't have to get up early because Meng Qiuju was anxious to have a grandson. She had no objection to her son and daughter-in-law staying on the kang for a while longer.
Of course, Meng Qiuju has made plans not to make things difficult for Ai Xiaoxia these two days. She will also coax her well and let her know how important and warm her parents' home is, so that she will voluntarily give to her parents' home.
However, Meng Qiuju had no habit of serving Ai Xiaoxia, so she was preparing water for her son to wash his face.
Seeing Ai Xiaoxia get up and change clothes, she felt uncomfortable. After all, it would be better to save this money and spend it on her son. But she didn't dare to say it. When the words came to her lips, she could only say: "You have too many clothes. It's a waste."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Mom, my husband Jingshen likes to see me dressed nicely." Thinking of Lu Jingshen, Ai Xiaoxia felt particularly sweet in her heart. To be honest, she missed Lu Jingshen after not seeing him for a day.
Lu Jingshen woke up early in the morning in the city. The house was empty and without Ai Xiaoxia's laughter, he felt very uncomfortable. The longing actually started from last night.
