"Do you know what we had for dinner today? Braised shrimps, homemade tofu, minced pork and eggplant... all made by my wife."

Li Linghui knew that Lu Hanchuan’s wife was not a good cook, so Lu Hanchuan usually cooked at home.

Now he came here just to show off how clever his wife is.

Lu Hanchuan was too lazy to pay attention to him, "Oh, you are a grown man and you still need your wife to serve you. You are so useless."

Li Linghui: "...No, why am I so useless."

He really wanted to say that the other person, who spent all day in the kitchen, was a loser.

But he didn't dare to say it.

Besides, it's not just the other party who is hopeless. He is older than the other and has a lower military rank than the other, so isn't he even more hopeless?

Li Linghui turned around and walked away, not because he was angry, but mainly because he found that Lu Hanchuan was not a good person to show off to.

Whenever he went to other people's places, everyone would praise him for marrying a gentle, virtuous, beautiful and kind wife.

As long as Lu Hanchuan was around, he thought his wife was the best.

Ye Xiaoxiao just came out of the house. "What did Deputy Captain Li do just now?"

Lu Hanchuan: “I came here to show off.”

"ah?"

"Showing off that his wife prepared a table of delicious food for him."

Ye Xiaoxiao stood at the door and smiled: "It seems that the two of them have completely reconciled."

"It's not a big deal. Li Linghui is a man who appears to be a male chauvinist but is actually controlled by his wife. If Mr. Kong doesn't talk to him for three days, he will be very worried."

Lu Hanchuan had long seen through Li Linghui's true nature.

Ye Xiaoxiao: "As long as they live well, that's enough."

Ye Xiaoxiao's current shift at the clinic is one day on and one day off.

During the break, Ye Xiaoxiao gave free consultations at the 께 market outside.

In just a few days, I became familiar with the group of grandmas and grannies on the island.

"께叶, this is your favorite watermelon, grown in our home, you're welcome."

A master brought a cart of watermelons to Ye Xiaoxiao.

Because Ye Xiaoxiao had helped him with acupuncture and moxibustion to get rid of rheumatism two days ago, the old man was very grateful. He didn't have anything good to give her, but his family grew watermelons, so he just brought a cart of watermelons from his hometown.

"Grandpa, this is too much."

The old man shook his head and said, "These melons are not good in appearance, and they can't be sold."

Because of the typhoon, Guali was almost completely destroyed.

Now the ones that the master has picked out are still the only ones left.

Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to see the old man's sad expression, it always reminded her of her grandpa.

"Grandpa, these watermelons are still edible. I can't accept them for free. You have to charge me at least."

Ye Xiaoxiao originally wanted to give it to her grandfather at the market price, but she knew that the other party would definitely not accept it.

So he took out five dollars from his pocket and said, "Grandpa, I'll buy your melon for five dollars."

Grandpa said, "That won't work. You're giving me acupuncture and I haven't paid for the medical expenses yet. If you're giving me money, you're actually licking my face."

After a lot of arguing with the other party, Ye Xiaoxiao still failed to give the money away.

Ye Xiaoxiao could only thank grandpa for his kindness and take the watermelon home.

Grandpa gave me a cartload of watermelons and even delivered them to my doorstep.

Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't finish it herself, so she gave two to her neighbor on the left.

Some of the melons have already cracked, so we need to eat them all as soon as possible.

Ye Xiaoxiao kept two for herself and gave the rest to Lu Hanchuan, asking him to take them to the troops.

"So many watermelons can't be sold, and the old man has lost another income."

There was no profitable business on the island. When he was young, the grandfather went fishing. Now that he is old, he takes care of a few acres of melon fields.

A typhoon caused him heavy losses.

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Yes, I said I would give money to Grandpa, but Grandpa didn't want to."

Life on the island is neither rich nor starving, and the old man certainly won't be unable to make ends meet, but at his age, life must be harder.

Lu Hanchuan received so many things from the other party and felt that he should help the old man.

"I'll go to their house and see if they have any problems that require help."

Xiaoxiao was very relieved about the matters entrusted to Lu Hanchuan.

"Well, if you need me, I can help."

Lu Hanchuan looked at Xiaoxiao lovingly, "Okay, got it."

This meal of watermelon made the neighbors very happy.

Xiaoxiao's popularity in the compound also improved.

…

Haiyan and Abang packed up the goods in 께's store. These goods were delivered by cargo ships that Abang contacted on a regular basis.

This is the first time we have received any goods since the typhoon.

"Haiyan, Haiyan...something happened at home."

Before Haiyan finished her work, her mother came running over in a panic.

"Mom...if you're asking me for money, I'm sorry, I don't have any."

"Haiyan, your brother has been arrested."

Hai Han showed a mocking expression, "He is in jail every other day, so it's not surprising that he was arrested."

"Haiyan, this time is different from the previous times. The chief of the police station said that he may never get out again."

Haiyan's mother's words were just an exaggeration. At least that's not what the police station chief actually said.

"Really? What did he do this time? Murder or arson?"

Haiyan looked at her mother coldly.

I wish the other party could be this anxious when something happens to me.

"How can you curse your own brother like that? He really didn't do anything this time, and the police station won't say what happened."

Haiyan looked at her crying mother and shook her head helplessly, "This shows that the crime he committed this time was so serious that even the police station couldn't let him off."

Haiyan asked the other party to leave and not to come to her store to disturb her business.

Haiyan's mother then told him her purpose, "Haiyan, can you give me some money so I can try again?"

Haiyan: "Do you think I still have any money? I used all my money to buy goods a long time ago, and now I have nothing left."

Hearing Haiyan's words, the other party immediately wanted to repeat his old trick and roll on the bed.

Ah Bang stepped forward and pinched the other person's arm, "Auntie, it's too crowded here, you should stay outside."

Seeing that the two people were stubborn, Haiyan's mother immediately started to scold them, "You two are black-hearted guys. You clearly have money but you are unwilling to give it to me. You sold all these goods and only gave me the money.

Then he threatened fiercely: "If you don't sell it, I will find someone to smash them all."

Haiyan had been disappointed time and time again, and had long been heartbroken by her parents.

"There are thousands of items here. If you touch one, I will definitely call the police. You should go to the police station and accompany Yu Dahai."

Haiyan's indifference was even worse than her mother's. Seeing how strong Haiyan was, the other party softened his tone.

"Then you have to give me some support. Your father and I are old, and your brother can't rely on us anymore. You have to give us more money."

Haiyan sneered, "When did we break the rule of daughters supporting their parents on our island? I remember you always said that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, and the things in the house have nothing to do with me."

I have no share in the house, you took the betrothal gifts, but I didn't give you any dowry, and now you want me to take care of you in your old age, how can you be so proud!"
