Chu Xi decided to keep a low profile after returning home and stayed at home for two more days. She studied hard, pickled some wild game, and dried some dried goods. It was a break from her busy schedule. She was thinking of sending some to her husband next time. She didn't know how he was doing.
I'm at home playing with my baby. After more than half a year of care by me, the child has become healthier and healthier. His skin is white and rosy, and I just want to touch and rub it. His originally soft and yellow hair has now turned black and shiny. Chu Xi couldn't help but sigh that I also have a talent for taking care of children.
"Third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, are you home?" I heard a strange voice calling outside, but since she called me third sister-in-law, it was probably someone from the old house. I first put the watermelon seeds and fruit platter used to entertain the children next to me into the space, and then went to open the door calmly.
But I saw a girl of about fifteen or sixteen with a ponytail standing at the door. She was wearing a plaid shirt and gray trousers. She had a shy smile on her rosy face. Needless to say, she was beautiful, and her outfit was neither rustic nor tacky.
But the pair of bright eyes beneath the thick eyebrows began to scan everything in the yard...
What the hell? Is it that obvious? Are you trying to take advantage of me?
"Third sister-in-law, my name is Xiu, Shi Xiu. I haven't been home before. I was studying in the county." Shi Xiu spoke very quickly.
It turned out to be this legendary figure. She had heard from Aunt Li, her neighbor in the village, that this person was too ambitious and wanted to marry into the city. After attending high school, he forgot who he was and never went home. This was why the original owner had only seen him once in more than half a year after getting married.
After Chu Xi came, she almost forgot about this person. It seemed that she didn't go home for the Chinese New Year last year and wanted to find a rich city man. She just stayed at her aunt's house in the county town and looked down on rural people.
"Oh, it's Xiu. When did you come back? I've been taking care of the kids at home all day and haven't had time to visit the old house."
"Third sister-in-law, I just came back and came to see you and Little Stone."
As he said this, he went to tease Little Stone, but looking at the little Stone's evasive and frightened look, he guessed that he must have been bullied a lot in the past.
You came to their house saying you were going to see them, but you didn't mention bringing anything. But there's a child who's over two years old. Shouldn't you bring some toys or food?
And those eyes that are always looking around, are you sure you didn’t hear that my family built a brick house and came to see it out of envy?
Finally, after a long time, Shi Xiucai looked at Chu Xi again with envy.
"Sister-in-law, your house is so nice. I wish I could live in a house like this..."
What do you mean? You want to move in with me? That's impossible. We split up on purpose and moved so far away.
Seeing that Chu Xi didn't respond for a long time, Shi Xiu continued,
"Sister-in-law, can I come and stay with you for a few days? We are on vacation."
Chu Xi felt depressed. This sister-in-law was not as easy to deal with as the old lady. She knew how to take roundabout approaches. She was afraid that it would be easy to come but difficult to leave.
"Xiu, don't you have your own house at home? This is so far from the old house, it's inconvenient to eat and live there. Plus, I have to take care of the children every day, so it's not very convenient."
After all, she was still a girl, and being rejected so obviously, and it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, she probably felt it was unlikely. After all, it was not appropriate for her to live in the third brother's house, so she consciously changed the subject.
Seeing her third sister-in-law at home without having to work, living in such a nice house, and taking care of the children every day, she couldn't help feeling jealous and unwilling. Originally, all the allowance from her third brother was given to her mother, and of course more was given to the only daughter. She was very well off when she was in school, but as soon as the family was divided, she no longer had such good treatment.
So, as soon as I got back, I wanted to find a reason to make trouble for her.
"Look, I heard your family bought a bicycle. I often go to school and back so far, so you can lend me your bicycle."
From what I heard, it's not a question, but an imperative tone.
"You're at home taking care of the kids anyway, and you rarely go out."
Chu Xi felt like she didn't know what to say. As expected, birds of a feather flock together. Isn't this old lady Shi the same? She wants to borrow your things and she says it's her right. It's ridiculous!
I feel like I owe her something and I have to lend it to her, but it seems like the money will never come back.
“No!”
As if he hadn't heard anything, Shi Xiu had already walked towards the door. Nowadays, something as valuable as a bicycle must be kept indoors, otherwise it would be a big loss if it was lost.
"I said no! Lend it!" Chu Xi had to repeat it. She was speechless. Is he so shameless?
"Huh? Sister-in-law said she won't lend it to me?" Looking at that surprised and innocent look, Chu Xi felt as if he had done something wrong to her.
"Why? You don't need it at home, and we are family, so can't you lend it to me?"
I bought it with my own money, so why should I lend it to you? Everyone’s bicycle is a treasure. Unless there is something urgent, who would lend a bicycle to someone?
"I usually have to go to the county town to buy some things, and Xiao Shitou used to be weak, so I have to buy him milk powder regularly."
"Milk powder? He's so old and still eating milk powder? I don't know where this wild child came from."
Shi Xiu was completely shocked. It was too extravagant, too lavish. We can't even eat noodles often, and you actually feed a two-year-old child with milk powder.
"Is it not possible? I didn't use your family's money. I want to feed him milk powder. Is that okay with you?"
"Humph, I don't care what he eats, I just want to borrow his bike."
Looking at her shining eyes, it seems like it has become her bicycle.
“No!”
Hearing these two words again, Shi Xiu's eyes turned red with anger.
"I told my mother about it when I came here, and she agreed."
She was already a little exasperated. She had made such a boast to her mother, and now she was still thinking of using her mother's name. In the past, the third sister-in-law was the most afraid of her mother.
"No!" Those two damn words again! Her mother seemed to be of no use to her either.
Shi Xiu no longer cared and walked straight to the bicycle and pushed it out.
Since I can’t borrow, I have to rob.
But Chu Xi blocked the door directly, and when Shi Xiu pushed the bicycle over, he grabbed the front handlebar of the bicycle.
"You can borrow it, just take a 150 yuan deposit to avoid any problems later!"
"Don't even think about it. This is my third brother's house. I can borrow it if I want. Get out of the way! You, an outsider, are controlling me."
Shi Xiu started yelling directly, and no longer had the image of an innocent and pitiful white lotus.
With a snap, Shi Xiu's hand holding the bicycle turned red instantly, and he consciously let go of the bicycle.
"If you can't borrow it, you'll just rob it. Who spoiled you?" Chu Xi slapped her hand directly.
"You're running into my house and acting wild, and I can't control you..."
"Wuwu... If you dare to hit me, I will tell Mom!" After saying that, he covered his arm and ran home.
"Oh, what's going on? She really thinks she's the eldest daughter and has to spoil her!"
Just wait, she knew that with Old Lady Shi's temper, if her precious daughter was wronged, she would make a fuss no matter who was right or wrong.
