At the dinner table, the old aunt kept picking up food for Wencai, which shows how much she hopes Wencai can have some success.
"Come, eat more of your favorite food, and tell me how your job search is going."
The old lady didn't even bother to eat, she just stared at Wencai, hoping to hear good news from him.
Shumei was also curious. Wencai was indeed different today. In the past, he would look at her with glaring eyes, but today he was smiling. Shumei was curious about what kind of happiness was hidden under this malicious smile. She held Xiao Shitou and moved closer to the table to listen attentively.
"Well, there are some clues. It's a formal state-owned enterprise."
Wencai ate while lying to the old aunt without changing his expression.
How could the old aunt not know what kind of person Wencai was? But she took Wencai's words seriously and said excitedly, "Okay, okay, my Wencai has finally grown up. As long as you behave yourself, I'll be relieved. Work hard, and when you have a stable job, I'll ask your aunt to find you a girl from a respectable family, just like your brother, and give birth to more children for our Li family."
"Okay, Mom, I get it. Let's eat! The food will get cold soon."
Wencai, who is usually self-centered and never cares about others, but today he picked up some food for the old aunt for the first time and asked her to eat it while it was hot.
Maybe he feels guilty and deliberately does this to make up for his inner anxiety!
Seeing such literary talent, the old aunt's heart was sweeter than eating honey, and she kept eating the food in her bowl. Or maybe the old aunt was in a good mood, she ate one more bowl of dinner than usual tonight.
After dinner, Wencai sneaked into Shumei's room with a strange smile on his face.
Seeing Wencai approaching her step by step, and seeing his malicious expression, Shumei stepped back repeatedly. Finally, Wencai forced Shumei into a corner.
Wencai deliberately raised his hand and pressed it against the wall, blocking Shumei's escape route. He put his face so close to Shumei that he could almost kiss her on the mouth.
Shumei could even feel the hot breath coming out of Wencai's mouth, and her heart was pounding with nervousness.
"What do you want to do?"
Shumei was afraid to ask Wencai loudly. Her calmness was all fake. She was extremely scared in her heart.
"What do you think I want to do?"
"I...I...please be respectful."
"Be respectful? Tell me how I can be respectful to you."
"Although my husband is dead, I am not a casual woman. Please don't do anything rash."
After hearing what Shumei said, Wencai suddenly dropped his arms, laughed loudly, turned around and sat on Shumei's bed.
This idiot actually thought I was attracted to her. How ridiculous! Who am I, Li Wencai, to be attracted to a country widow like her?
The more Wencai thought about it, the funnier it became. He looked Shumei up and down, and seeing her standing in the corner like a frightened bird, clutching her collar tightly, he couldn't help laughing any more and burst into laughter.
"How old are you?"
"I'm 27, and you're only in your early 20s. I'm really not suitable for you..."
"Shut up. Did I ask you anything else? Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Shumei was speaking seriously with a frown on her face when Wencai interrupted her loudly.
Even the strongest woman becomes weak before a man with ulterior motives. Besides, this job was truly excellent for Shumei. She didn't want to cause any complications and lose her job. So, she decided to handle the situation on her own, not wanting to involve her aunt and the others.
"Now that you know you're 27, why don't you take a look at yourself? Why are you so confident that I would fall for a widow like you? You're really delusional."
After hearing Wencai's words, Shumei breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out she had misunderstood. That was good, that was good.
"Then what are you doing here?"
Knowing that Wencai had no such intention, Shumei felt more confident. She stood up straight, changed her timid appearance, and questioned Wencai with confidence.
"I'm reminding you to keep your word. Last time you said that as long as I go out and make enough money to hire another nanny, you will take the initiative to leave. Don't go back on your word, okay?"
"Don't worry. I'm not a man of my word, but I'm definitely not someone who goes back on my word. As long as you can go out and earn money and be able to afford a nanny, I will take the initiative to resign from my job, Sister Meng. You don't have to chase me away."
"Okay, okay, very good. Remember what you said tonight and enjoy your last time in my house!" Wencai said as he walked out of Shumei's room proudly.
Wencai was acting so strangely, and Shumei couldn't believe he could have turned around so quickly and changed so quickly. She thought to herself that she must follow Wencai tomorrow to find out what kind of job he had found that would make him boast like that in front of her.
Qianqian can't cook, so she spends a lot of money on groceries every day, and soon her savings are gone.
In addition, she opened the shop late and closed early, so the business plummeted. Without money, she could no longer afford to prepare dinner for Boyi. She had no choice but to temporarily give up her plan to go to Boyi's house every night and focus half of her attention on the business.
Looking at her empty piggy box, Qianqian sat alone in the store and thought a lot.
"Bo Yi, I didn't expect life to be so realistic. Starting tonight, I won't be able to be with you every night. You must take care of yourself. I will make time to go back and see you every Sunday."
She sat on the sofa, talking to herself.
