"I bought it once, but it was very cheap..."
"Look, maybe the first time they sold it to you cheaply because they were afraid you wouldn't want it. Once you get to know them, they naturally don't need to coax you to buy it anymore."
Zhu Qinghao paused and thought for a moment, and it seemed to be true.
Ever since that time they met on the black market when she asked for money but the transaction didn't go through, Sheng Yi has never asked her for any money.
He came to deliver the money several more times after that, and she brought up the money each time, but Sheng Yi always changed the subject and changed the topic, so she never gave him any money.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that what Si Tian said seemed to make sense.
At this moment, the little bit of restless thought that had been stirring in her heart resurfaced.
Lost in her own thoughts, she didn't even realize when Si Tian had finished cleaning up.
Si Tian probably knew what she was thinking, but since it was between the two of them, she couldn't say too much unless Zhu Qinghao asked.
So after finishing her work, she said goodbye to Zhu Qinghao and went home to catch up on her sleep.
How hurriedly did they leave? They didn't even take the meat that was originally allocated to her.
By the time Zhu Qinghao remembered, Si Tian had already stepped out the door.
"Sweetie, your meat."
Si Tian was probably extremely sleepy, yawning as she waved her hand dismissively.
"I'll leave it here for now. I'm so sleepy. I'll come back for it later. Please keep an eye on it for me."
"Huh? Eh—"
Zhu Qinghao originally wanted to call out to Si Tian, but then she felt it was unnecessary. Anyway, the food wouldn't spoil in this weather, so she decided to let her be.
Besides, she had indeed been busy all night, so it was normal for her to be tired.
After everyone left, Zhu Qinghao climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), found a clean towel and put it over her eyes to block out the light, then drifted off to sleep.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already three or four in the afternoon. Not to mention, it was almost time for dinner.
Zhu Qinghao is getting better and better at taking advantage of Sheng Yi. Every time he cooks, she asks him to cook more, either to put in her space or to send to the cowshed.
Just as she was wondering what to eat for dinner, Sheng Yi came again, this time carrying a lot of things, clearly having been to the city.
Zhu Qing asked him a few questions and found out that what he meant by having something to do the day before was that he had gone into town to buy things.
Moreover, the things he bought weren't for anything else, but simply to make more delicious food for Zhu Qing before he left. For this reason, he bought a lot of rice, flour, and cooking oil.
"Brother Shengyi, why didn't you say so sooner? I have all these things at home, which would have saved you the trouble of making this trip."
Zhu Qinghao didn't lack these things, but when she saw that Sheng Yi had specially bought so many, she felt that she had caused him trouble.
However, the people who bought the items didn't seem to mind and just kept carrying things into the house.
"It's alright, don't worry. With so many family members here, buying more won't be a waste."
And I don't find it troublesome at all. I'd be happy to help you, so I hope you won't refuse my help, okay?
Since everyone else had said so, what could Zhu Qinghao do? Of course, she could only nod in agreement.
But when it came to paying, Sheng Yi's face immediately turned cold, and he focused on kneading the dough, ignoring her completely.
Zhu Qing felt helpless, but still wanted to explain things to him.
“Brother Sheng Yi, I think we need to talk. You can’t just ignore me every time this issue comes up, can you?”
Look at how much game you've brought to my house these past few days, and how I've always taken it for granted that I'll have you cook for me...
Every single thing seems to be something I owe you, and if this continues, I won't be able to rest easy..."
P.S.: My recent data has been really bad, I'd like to ask for a five-star review, thank you my darlings~ (kiss)
