Chapter 40 The awkward man is jealous
After Su Tang and Lin Qian finished talking in the back mountain, they went back.
Zhang Cui frowned when she saw Su Tang bringing Lin Qian back.
"Sister, why did you bring her here?"
After hearing what Zhang Cui said, Lin Qian took a step back, with a look of grievance on her pretty face.
Su Tang reached out and patted her on the shoulder, then took a step forward to explain to Zhang Cui.
"Sister-in-law, Lin Qian has something to tell you. Please listen to her explanation first and don't be anxious."
After hearing Su Tang's words, Zhang Cui's face turned cold, but she finally stopped being angry.
She wanted to hear what Lin Qian had to say to her.
Lin Qian was gently pushed by Su Tang and took a small step forward. She lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.
"Sister Zhang Cui... I... I really didn't mean it. I just saw Mai Sui craving those plums, smacking his lips, and I didn't think too much about it."
She became more and more anxious as she spoke, tears welling up in her eyes again, and the fingers covering her cheeks trembled slightly.
"I know I almost hurt Mai Sui. You deserve to hit me... hit me. I just... I just feel bad, and I want to admit my mistake to you."
Zhang Cui hugged the quieted wheat ear, her face still tense, but the fierceness that wanted to tear people apart had faded a lot.
She looked at Lin Qian's swollen face and red eyes, then at her daughter in her arms. The anger in her heart subsided, but the feeling of being suffocated remained.
She snorted, turned her face away, and said in a harsh tone, "Hmph, that's easy for you to say! It wasn't intentional? Just because Mai Sui didn't mean to do that, he's going to suffer like this? Is your head a decoration? Don't you have any common sense in raising children?"
The words were harsh, but compared to the shouting and calling for war just now, this was already better.
The sisters-in-law nearby also tried to persuade her: "Cui'er, Lin Qian also admitted her mistake. Look at her face... She was also very scared."
"That's right, thank goodness the child is fine. Mai Sui is also frightened. Go back and give her some water to calm her nerves."
Lin Qian sniffed and didn't dare to look up. She just stood there like a primary school student waiting to be scolded.
Zhang Cui sighed heavily again, turned around and walked back to her house with the wheat ears in her arms. After two steps, without even looking back, she said, "Alright, alright, what are you all doing here? Go do what you need to do."
Lin Qian's shoulders slumped, and she couldn't help but let her tears fall again, this time with a hint of grievance.
Su Tang comforted her: "Go back and apply cold water to your face."
After this incident, Lin Qian really learned her lesson.
She never dared to take the initiative to touch other people's children's food again, and she became much calmer.
She was sincerely grateful to Su Tang.
After a few interactions, the two of them really became close.
Whenever Lin Qian is free, she comes to see Su Tang and sits down to chat.
She found that Su Tang was completely different from what she had originally heard from Zheng Jinxin.
Su Tang is straightforward and honest, knows a lot, and is particularly good at comforting people.
Lin Qian's proud little temper was unconsciously restrained in front of Su Tang, and she became a little dependent on her instead.
The people in the family compound were a little surprised as they watched the two people getting closer.
Who would have thought that Su Tang and Lin Qian could get along together.
However, with Su Tang's help, Zhang Cui also knew that Lin Qian was not a bad person, so she was not so aggressive towards her.
After Lu Xiao knew about this, he didn't say anything.
I just feel a little uncomfortable and blocked in my heart.
Su Tang thought Lu Xiao was annoyed with Lin Qian, so she went out of her way to explain to Lu Xiao.
He said that Lin Qian no longer had that kind of feelings for him. It would have been fine if he hadn't explained it, but once he did, Lu Xiao felt sad.
Everyone said that Lin Qian liked him, but his own wife had no sense of crisis at all.
Doesn't it mean that this will only happen if you don't care about him?
Lu Xiao may seem fine on the surface, but Su Tang has lived with him under the same roof for so long. Others may not notice his subtle changes, so how could she not feel them?
What's more, this man did not hide his discomfort at all.
Especially as Lin Qian came to see Su Tang more and more often.
Whenever Lin Qian comes and Lu Xiao is at home, his presence will be particularly strong.
Or he would be in the yard, polishing the bicycle until it was shiny and the chain was almost flying.
Or he would sit near the door in the room, holding a book or newspaper in his hand, and not turn a page for a long time.
From time to time, his eyes would glance towards the small table where the two of them were sitting and chatting.
If Su Tang accidentally raised her eyes and met his gaze, he would immediately look away as if burned.
He pretended to stare at the pages of the book intently, his back straighter than when standing at attention.
Su Tang felt amused but didn't show it on his face.
Once, Lin Qianzheng said that the art troupe might be disbanded. Everyone was confused and a little depressed.
Su Tang was about to comfort her when he heard a muffled sound coming from the yard.
The two were startled and hurried out to see what was happening.
I saw Lu Xiao was tidying up the utility shed when he "accidentally" knocked over a half-worn wooden box.
The things inside were scattered all over the floor, and Lu Xiao was squatting there cleaning them up.
Lin Qian was a little embarrassed, but even if she was slow to react, she could sense it: "Sister Su Tang, did I disturb you?"
Su Tang suppressed her laughter and asked, "Lu Xiao, are you okay? Do you need any help?"
Lu Xiao didn't even raise his head, his voice muffled: "No need, you guys chat, I'll clean up, this place is too messy."
He squatted there, like a big dog abandoned by its owner, with a look of grievance all over his body.
After Lin Qian left, Su Tang walked into the storage shed. Looking at the scene which looked even more messy after being tidied up, he finally couldn't help laughing.
Lu Xiao looked up at her, his eyes a little fierce, and a little helpless as if he had been seen through: "What are you laughing at? She's gone?"
Su Tang walked over, squatted beside him, picked up an old wrench that had fallen out, and said with a teasing tone.
"This box has been sitting here untouched for over six months. Why did you think of packing it up today?"
"Every time Lin Qian comes over and finds you at home, you're busy. How can I stay any longer?"
After saying this, Su Tang leaned closer to him and asked, "Why do I feel like you did this on purpose? Don't you like Lin Qianlai?"
Lu Xiao's ears felt a little hot from her teasing. He snatched the wrench from her hand and stuffed it back into the box.
“It’s not safe to leave things lying around.”
Su Tang drew out an "oh" and looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"Then next time Lin Qian comes, should we go somewhere else to chat? We won't disturb you while you're working."
Lu Xiao felt uncomfortable when she looked at him, and he stood up suddenly with some big movements.
"Su Tang, I feel like you're making fun of me, which is not good."
His serious look revealed a bit of stubborn seriousness.
He felt like he had become a completely different person. He felt jealous but couldn't say it out loud.
She, on the other hand, was just laughing at herself.
After saying that, he strode into the house, and his back looked awkward.
Su Tang was left standing there, watching his stiff steps that were almost synchronized with his hands and feet, and his shoulders were shaking with laughter.
Why is this man so... cute when he's jealous?
