Chapter 426: Tacit Understanding - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
While Zhang Mengyun was still struggling with how to deal with Cen Xi, Cen Xi had already wrung out the clothes in his hands and turned away!
In the end, Zhang Mengyun could only watch him leave angrily.
Ahhh! What's happening?
Humph! Just wait, I'll eventually find an opportunity!
When Cen Xi was hanging out clothes to dry, he happened to notice her and saw the expression on her face.
Eh? Who is this?
Why does he look so resentful?
Does he know him?
He remembers that he has never seen this person!
Forget it, forget it, I’ll just go back and ask and I’ll know!
Cen Xi quickly hung up the clothes and went back with the basin!
"Mom, who is that person outside whom I haven't seen before?" Cen Xi asked Lin's mother directly.
"Oh! Well, I forgot to tell you that a young couple just moved into our courtyard!"
"Ah? Is there room for someone else to move in in our yard?" He remembered that it was already full!
Cen Xi looked at Lin's mother with confusion, waiting for her answer.
"There are no rooms in the front and back yards, but isn't there a small room where the front and back yards are connected?"
"Ah? Oh ~ there!" He remembered, "But the room there is so small, how come someone is willing to live there?"
Even though there are no buildings now, and there are only these large courtyards, people generally choose the larger rooms among the spare rooms. No one wants to live in this kind of connecting house, so that house has been empty until now. I really didn't expect that someone has moved in now!
"Hey, there's a lot going on here. Come over here and eat first. I'll explain it to you slowly!"
"Oh! Okay!" Cen Xi was also a little hungry, so he took the big bowl of noodles directly and started slurping it up.
Lin's mother also started talking about some gossip they heard and some things that happened after the couple moved in.
Cen Xi bit off the noodles in one bite, looked up and stared in surprise, and then exclaimed in surprise!
He really didn't expect this!
The people and things his wife told him two years ago reappeared before his eyes!
Cen Xi said quickly, "I know this."
"You know that too?" Lin's mother's eyes suddenly turned unfriendly.
Cen Xi looked at Lin's mother and was stunned. His heart suddenly skipped a beat. He seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said. He quickly made amends, "Ahem, that, mother, I only found out about it after Qingqing had done it. But I also told her about it at the time!"
"Hmph! That little girl, with such a weak body! How dare she do such things? Isn't she afraid of being beaten?" Lin's mother got angry when she said this.
"Mom, mom, I really told her! She never did such a thing again!" Cen Xi hurriedly comforted Lin's mother.
Mother Lin: “Humph!”
"Mom, mom, how about we continue talking? I haven't finished yet!" Cen Xi quickly changed the subject.
"Okay, let me continue..." Mother Lin just wanted to vent her anger and let them know her attitude so that they would consider the consequences when doing things in the future!
Cen Xi felt relieved instantly, but when he thought that they were hiding more than just this one thing, he felt uneasy again. No, he had to watch his mouth from now on!
As Lin's mother spoke, Cen Xi finished the noodles in a short while!
Mother Lin paused for a moment and asked, "Are you full?"
"I am full! Please continue."
"Okay, let me tell you, Zhang Mengyun is no ordinary person. His swearing skills are better than mine," Lin's mother paused for a second and continued, "Better than mine! Every word he says is full of dirty words, like a machine gun, and he keeps saying them all the same!"
Cen Xi frowned slightly. It seemed that there was another tough guy in their courtyard!
After listening to Lin's mother's story, he suddenly had the same question as Lin Qing, "Did they really not fight?"
"Hahaha! You and Nannan are really in sync. You both want to do the same thing!"
"Of course! We both came from the same nest!" Cen Xi was quite proud when he said this.
Mother Lin smiled. She felt that her son-in-law's mouth was getting worse and worse!
"That's enough! We've finished eating this, let's go and have a rest!"
"Okay!" Cen Xi also yawned. He was indeed a little sleepy!
"Go ahead, go ahead. I'm here. I'll take care of it!" Mother Lin quickly sent everyone away to rest.
Cen Xi came back quite early, in the middle of the morning, and it was almost noon when he finished eating noodles.
Lin's mother didn't cook any more lunch and ate the remaining noodles for lunch.
…
However, other people in the courtyard had a lot of complaints about Cen Xi, and Mrs. Jiang came out again to praise Lin Shu.
"Mom, did you find out what Engineer Cen brought back when you went out just now? Those big bags must have a lot of good stuff in them. It would be great if he could share some with us!"
"I think you are dreaming!" Aunt Jiang was just rejected by Cen Xi and she was unhappy at the moment!
"Mom, I'm not wrong! If my sister-in-law and Mr. Cen can maintain a good relationship, they should at least give us some out of respect, right?
Besides, it's better than not getting any advantage at all now!" Mrs. Jiang estimated Mrs. Jiang's temper and said carefully.
Aunt Jiang snorted coldly, but didn't say that she was wrong. She felt a little uncomfortable hearing what she said!
If the second sister's family could maintain a good relationship with Mr. Cen's family, Mr. Cen would definitely not dare to humiliate her like this today.
Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now!
"Mom, I don't know what's so special about the specialties in big cities. If we get along well, maybe we can get some too!"
"And I heard that they are on a business trip to Beijing. That's Beijing! The capital! How many people want to go there? We don't have the chance to go there, but it would be good to get some local specialties!
What a pity~, now it's all gone!" Sister Jiang secretly glanced at Mother Jiang's face with her remaining eyes, and her tone became more and more regretful!
Aunt Jiang's expression changed again and again, and she always felt that she was at a disadvantage!
Mrs. Jiang also knew that it was too late, so after saying a few words, she left the room, leaving Mrs. Jiang alone to think about it.
Mrs. Jiang’s plan was indeed successful!
When Lin Shu came back from get off work in the afternoon, Aunt Jiang didn't give her a good look at all. She was sarcastic and made indirect accusations.
Lin Shu just felt that this old hag had gone crazy again!
It's really inexplicable!
Mrs. Jiang was very happy to see this. She had been very annoyed with doing housework these days. Now she finally had a good way to vent her anger. She had to watch carefully!
Humph! You can bully me!
