Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu had an agreement on how to educate their child: when one person is disciplining the child, the other must not interfere. One person hitting and the other protecting will not teach the child well.
Therefore, Qin Xiaoxiao has no objection to whatever decision Su Lu makes. Moreover, Su Lu is doing this for the good of the child, even if it's just to improve the child's health.
The poor twins couldn't even sit up yet, and their future was already decided by their unscrupulous parents. Their lives afterward were not going to be easy.
The couple tidied up and took their child to the main house. It was Sunday, and Su Lu and Qin Ye were resting at home. They decided to go to the compound to keep watch, as construction was about to begin there as well.
After breakfast, the two left. Old Mrs. Qin was bored at home, so she and Ma Dahua took the child and sat at the front door, chatting with the neighbors and finding out about the Wang family from the day before yesterday.
Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Yun went shopping and decided to visit the department store to see who gave the female lead, Wang Yazhi, the courage to steal a married man as her boyfriend.
The department stores in the capital were much larger than the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county town. It was only because Qin Xiaoxiao was used to the shopping malls of later generations that she was dazzled by the goods here.
Even so, Qin Xiaoxiao didn't bother to find out who Wang Yazhi was; instead, she and Su Yun went on a shopping spree.
Baby formula is essential for the child. Although there's still quite a bit left in the storage space, the more the better. I'll buy more.
All the milk powder coupons have been used up.
A pretty dress? The pattern is nice, but the style is a bit simple. However, there are many colors available, and it's much prettier than the ones in my hometown county. Plus, the quality is good. I'll buy it.
Two of each item, cloth coupons kept.
Malted milk powder is a great product; it's suitable for everyone in the family, young and old. We shouldn't miss out on it; buy as much as we can.
Four bottles of each of Moutai, Fenjiu, and Wuliangye. The old man has never tasted such good wine before. Let him drink it all up when we get home.
The pastries on the first floor smelled amazing! I should buy more before I leave. Pastries from Beijing are so rare these days. My grandmother would be happy for half a day if she ate just one.
The preserved fruits in Beijing are famously delicious. How can you come to Beijing and not buy some? If you don't have preserved fruits when entertaining guests, you'll be looked down upon.
This won't do! Buy it!
The two sisters-in-law went on a shopping spree, their hands were full of bags, but they still wanted to go upstairs for a stroll to see if there were any women's bicycles. Once they got the tickets, they could buy two bicycles, wear matching dresses, and ride them—how cool would that be!
After looking around upstairs, they found women's bicycles, but they weren't cheap; they were more expensive than men's bicycles. Qin Xiaoxiao wasn't short of money, and Su Yun also had some. If they hadn't been short of tickets, they would have bought them no matter what.
As they left the department store amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the staff, the two sisters-in-law didn't even think to ask who Wang Yazhi was. Then, they went straight to Quanjude and bought four roast ducks to take home as a side dish.
When she got home, Qin Xiaoxiao realized she was exhausted, but when she saw the twins' silly smiles, she felt full of energy again and thought she could spend another hundred yuan.
Wang Yazhi actually went to work today. She was at the dress counter, the same counter where she sold dresses to Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Yun. Seeing the two of them buy ten dresses without any hesitation, her eyes turned red.
This is because of anger.
Which woman wouldn't be jealous of two women who are both beautiful, have great figures, and spend money like water?
The female lead is no exception; it's because she's broke right now!
Even though the commission was high—the commission from Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Yun's spending alone was almost equivalent to her daily wage—she was still jealous.
Even after returning home, the images of Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Yun lingered in her mind, and she fantasized that one day she would be as carefree as them, able to buy whatever she wanted without worrying about money.
She probably can't achieve that through her own efforts, so she wants to marry into a good family with a high dowry. Ideally, the groom should be the son of a high-ranking official, someone with a strong background, so she'll have more leverage in her family.
But Wang Yazhi couldn't help but think of Su Lu again; she still couldn't let go of that face.
Wang Yazhi lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) and sighed.
If she weren't so effeminate, she would have put up a fight no matter what, even if people called her a mistress, she would have been happy.
If things improve in another year, so what if I become a mistress? Nobody cares anyway, let whoever wants to talk about it say so, as long as they don't mention it in front of her.
Wang Yazhi remembered her mother talking about the neighbor, and that the man was good-looking. Why don't we give him a try?
Sigh, no matter how good-looking the neighbor is, she's not as good-looking as Su Lu!
If only I could marry Su Lu!
Wang Yazhi fell asleep with her fantasies in her heart. The next day, she had to go to work. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out of the gate and walked to the door of her newly moved-in neighbor, she heard the sound of the door opening.
Wang Yazhi subconsciously turned around to look, and what she saw surprised her greatly!
What are Su Lu and Qin Ye doing here?
Qin Ye and Su Lu were walking out while cuddling with their wives when they noticed someone standing outside the door. They glanced up casually and were so startled that they backed away and slammed the door shut behind them.
"Bang!"
The door was tightly shut, startling Wang Yazhi, who was standing outside dumbfounded.
Wang Yazhi was stunned, as if struck by lightning.
Her new neighbors are Qin Ye and Su Lu. Should she laugh or cry?
She was happy to be Su Lu's neighbor. Even though there was no possibility of being with him, just seeing his face made her feel good.
But this new neighbor is the next person she wants to hook up with, which is not good, because she can't hook up with him!
Wang Yazhi was on the verge of tears.
What kind of situation is this?
Wang Yazhi walked away dejectedly. She felt that the whole world was against her, and the feeling that she was the only one who mattered and that the world revolved around her had completely disappeared.
Standing in the courtyard, Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Yun blinked their big eyes at Qin Ye and Su Lu.
"What happened? Did they get chased by a dog?"
Su Lu looked terrified, his hand trembling as he pointed to the door. "Wife, that Wang Yazhi is standing right outside the door. Do you think she might have followed us all the way to our house?"
Qin Xiaoxiao frowned. "What? That woman just now was Wang Yazhi?"
Su Lu nodded with a long face, "It's her, no doubt about it."
Qin Ye nodded in agreement, "That's right! Tell me, how did she find our house? We weren't at work yesterday!"
Qin Xiaoxiao pondered, "It shouldn't have been yesterday. Could it have been the day before yesterday? That can't be!"
According to her analysis, Wang Yazhi should no longer be interested in Su Lu, so why would she be standing outside their house?
"Does she live around here too?"
Qin Xiaoxiao quickly figured out the reason, and Qin Ye and Su Lu also agreed. However, at the same time, the four of them felt a tightness in their hearts, realizing that this was indeed a troublesome matter.
Living so close together, isn't that inconvenient?
No matter the reason, they have to go to work. They can't skip work just because of Wang Yazhi; they still have families to support!
Qin Ye and Su Lu peered through the crack in the door, and after a while, they realized that Wang Yazhi had already left. Only then did the two of them leave the house to go to work.
