Chapter 168 Show off



Huang Xiuxiu didn't expect to run into Ye Li here. She just went to the bathroom before leaving and met Yuan Yueqin. Then she said a few bad things about others behind their backs and met Ye Li when she went out.

What a bad luck this year!

When you're unlucky, even a fart will hit your heels!

"What are you laughing at?" Huang Xiuxiu was embarrassed and used rudeness to cover up her embarrassment.

Ye Li pointed at the swollen, purple face and laughed twice: "I'm laughing. You really deserve a face like this."

After saying that, she left with the vinegar bottle.

Huang Xiuxiu looked at Ye Li's back as he left. She felt held her breath in her heart and wanted to explode but she couldn't.

After Huang Xiuxiu left with the two naughty kids, Courtyard No. 9 became quiet.

Jiang Xun finally had enough rest at home for half a month and was finally able to go to work.

...

...

On the morning of going out, he wore a white shirt, army green trousers, and his hair was combed neatly. The moment he stepped out of the door, his pair of long and straight legs were very eye-catching.

Yuan Yueqin was squatting in the yard washing clothes. The moment she saw Ye Li and Jiang Xun coming out arm in arm, her eyes were fixed on Jiang Xun.

At that moment, time seemed to go back, and she saw the high-spirited man from a few years ago.

But when he saw his big hand holding Ye Li's small hand, an indescribable feeling spread in his heart.

Jiang Xun and Ye Li didn't even say a word to her or even glance at her as they passed by her.

Even after the two of them walked a long way away, talking and laughing, Yuan Yueqin still hadn't taken her eyes off them.

"Your eyes are almost glued to me." Aunt Jiang came to the sink with a basin of clothes, put the stool on the ground, and deliberately teased Yuan Yueqin, "I see you've been very diligent in washing clothes recently! You wash twice a day, and you're not afraid of damaging the clothes. This cloth is so hard to get, if you can't get it, you'll have to wear clothes with holes."

Yuan Yueqin's face darkened, she picked up the basin and stood up: "I wash clothes several times a day, you don't have to worry about it, even if they are damaged, it has nothing to do with you."

Aunt Jiang curled her lips and said, "It has nothing to do with me... Tsk! You were so heartless when you kicked him before, but now that his leg is healed, you are so jealous, right?"

Yuan Yueqin heard what Aunt Jiang said, but she pretended she couldn't hear it.

Do I really have to argue with this nosy old woman?

She locked herself in the room, sat at the table and started to sulk.

"What's wrong again?" Aunt Mu noticed that her daughter's mood was very unstable recently.

"Nothing."

"Why are you angry again? Did that old hag Jiang Chunying deliberately provoke you?"

"No." Yuan Yueqin was irritable, "I'm a little tired and want to be quiet."

No one knows a girl better than her mother.

What Yuan Yueqin was thinking was written all over her face, how could Aunt Mu not understand?

"Because of that kid Jiang Xun?"

If it were in the past, Yuan Yueqin would definitely deny it and would never admit it even if she was beaten to death.

But today, for some reason, she nodded in agreement with her mother's words.

"I knew it."

"Mom." Yuan Yueqin raised her head, her eyes showing some confusion, "Do you think the choice I made was the right one?"

Seeing her daughter regretting again, Aunt Mu hurriedly counseled her: "Of course you are right. Jiang Xun is good-looking, and he is one of the best young men, but this appearance can't be used to make a living! Although he also makes money, he is far inferior to my son-in-law. You said how great Pengcheng is, although he is not as good-looking as Jiang Xun, but Jiang Xun does not have the ability to make money, and he treats you very well. I didn't intend to tell you, but seeing that you are so depressed now, I might as well tell you the truth. Pengcheng is back today, and he will come to our house to see you."

Hearing the news, Yuan Yueqin didn't seem happy at all.

The expression on his face was not only unhappy, but also a bit disgusted.

"How do you know he's coming back?"

"The telegrams have come. How is it? Are you happy?"

Yuan Yueqin snorted lightly and said nothing: "You will know when the time comes."

"Know what?"

Yuan Yueqin didn't continue.

"Okay, just calm down." Aunt Mu said, then went back to the house, opened the cabinet and took out some change, "I have to buy some good things to treat my son-in-law tonight."

"Mom, I advise you not to be so happy." Yuan Yueqin reminded.

"What are you talking about? How can I not be happy that my son-in-law is here? You should also tidy yourself up quickly, so that Pengcheng won't see how sloppy you are."

"Yeah." Yuan Yueqin responded absentmindedly.

Aunt Mu is most proud of her son-in-law. She thinks he can make money, has a good family background, and is capable, so she is most proud of him when she brings him out.

When Yuan Yueqin first married him, I heard that his family did not agree with the marriage.

At that time, the son-in-law was a good man. He went against everyone's opinion and still stole the household registration book from home and got the marriage certificate with Yuan Yueqin.

Aunt Mu felt a little uneasy because there was no wedding.

She also wanted to take this opportunity to persuade her son-in-law to give Yueqin a wedding.

Let the people in this compound see how successful and handsome her son-in-law is.

With such joyful mood, Aunt Mu was excited all day long, killing chickens, fish and stewing meat in the yard. She was very busy and told everyone she met that her son-in-law was coming to pick up her daughter.

This took a whole day of preparation, and in the evening, Zhao Pengcheng finally arrived at the slum.

Yuan Sihai and Aunt Mu had been waiting anxiously for a whole day. After waiting at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, they still felt that it was not grand enough, so they came to the entrance of the alley to pick them up.

Zhao Pengcheng's car stopped at the entrance of the alley and people got out of the car.

The driver opened the trunk and took out a bunch of gift boxes of various sizes.

"Oh, son-in-law! My son-in-law is back!" Aunt Mu was so excited that she hurried forward to greet him.

"Mom and Dad." Zhao Pengcheng looked ordinary, but he was dressed quite fashionably, with a floral shirt and bell-bottom pants, curly hair, and a pair of sunglasses on his face. "I'm back."

"Hey, come on, why do you need to buy so many things? Come on, old man, come and take it." Aunt Mu called Yuan Sihai and asked him to come and pick up the things quickly.

When Yuan Sihai took a look, he was surprised to see so many things. He thought that he could show them off in this courtyard.

Originally, Jiang Xun was the one who was in the limelight.

Although his forehead and legs have been paralyzed and he has been unable to move in recent years, everyone knows that Jiang Xun has money and is a retired soldier, so his work and resettlement allowance have been arranged very well.

No one in this hospital can surpass him.

But today is different. As soon as her son-in-law comes back, he becomes the brightest star in this courtyard.

With such a son-in-law, Yuan Sihai felt proud and his back was straightened.

"Okay, I'll do it! It's a long journey, you must have worked hard along the way."

"No, no need, Dad. Just let Xiao Liu take it." Zhao Pengcheng said hurriedly.

"We are a family, why should we be so polite? I'll just take it, don't tire Xiao Liu out."

"Not tired, not tired. He's not tired at all."

"Look what you said, let your dad come and get it! Let's go back quickly, Yueqin has made a bunch of delicious food at home, waiting for you!" Aunt Mu pulled the food from Xiao Liu's hand.

Zhao Pengcheng was very embarrassed and had to tell the truth: "Mom and Dad, these things are not bought for you..."
