Chapter 15: Bad Taste
Shen Caisheng was dazzled by Yuan Lingling's expression. He frowned only when he saw the stack of money in the envelope.
"Why are there so many? There must be five hundred here."
Yuan Lingling sighed inwardly, he is indeed a rich man, he guessed it almost right at just one look.
"Well, Xie Guanglian doesn't owe us that much money, but I think it's okay to take it. They take advantage of us all day long and frame me. It's not too much to ask for this little compensation. What do you think?"
After Yuan Lingling had talked for a long time, she realized that Shen Caisheng's expression seemed a little unhappy. She was shocked to realize that she had been talking too much just now, and quickly added: "But this is your money, it's up to you. If you think it's too much, just give them some back."
"You keep it." Shen Caisheng stuffed the envelope back into her hand and said that lightly.
This confused Yuan Lingling.
What does he mean? He is not even enthusiastic about taking the money. There must be something wrong with his thinking.
"This is yours, you should keep it. Just give me some money for food when you go out."
Yuan Lingling felt a little embarrassed when she talked about the latter part.
She usually does nothing, so she has no source of income. To put it bluntly, she is just a freeloader. It is really unlucky for Shen Caisheng to have her.
But as soon as I came here, I suddenly became his wife. My luck is not very good.
To some extent, they can be said to be in the same boat.
"I gave it to you before. Once it's given to you, it's yours."
Shen Caisheng said this as he walked out of the kitchen. He couldn't explain why he didn't like the way Yuan Lingling had to separate herself from him so clearly.
He had intended to give the money to Yuan Lingling as her future dowry, but now Yuan Lingling had not mentioned divorce again, and it seemed a bit inappropriate for him to bring it up, as if he was trying to drive her away, so he chose not to say anything.
Anyway, thinking about these things made him feel extremely irritated and he didn't want to stay in the house, so he picked up the broom and started sweeping the snow in the yard again.
The weather has been very unpredictable recently. Often, as soon as we sweep the snow, it starts to accumulate again, but stops again if we stop sweeping it.
Sometimes the snow is really beautiful when viewed from afar, but waking up every day to the dazzling white still makes people feel a little uncomfortable and a little tired.
Yuan Lingling was a little confused. She felt that Shen Caisheng was angry, and it was very obvious. She couldn't really sense Shen Caisheng's emotions in the past few days. He had been restrained, making it difficult for people to guess. But now, she didn't know what was wrong with him and he suddenly got angry.
Is this the unpredictable nature that is unique to villains?
Yuan Lingling held five hundred yuan in her hand, which was inexplicably hot, but it was money, so why shouldn’t she take it!
No one likes someone with unstable emotions, and Yuan Lingling is no exception. Since it is useless to please him, she is too lazy to try to please Chen Caisheng, so she quickly gets a divorce and is done with it.
But when Yuan Lingling thought about this, she felt a little worried again. She had finally mustered up the courage to file for divorce, but the accident happened before Shen Caisheng could even respond. She didn't even have the time to ask Shen Caisheng what happened that night, and she felt that it was something she couldn't ask.
It is not a good time for her to file for divorce now.
Yuan Lingling didn't get to take a nap and was now very sleepy. Shen Caisheng didn't want to pay attention to her, and she didn't bother to pay attention to him either. Anyway, she was not hungry after eating the egg cake, so she simply went back to her room to catch up on her sleep.
Shen Caisheng naturally noticed Yuan Lingling returning to the house. He didn't stop for a moment. After he finished sweeping the floor, he realized that it was already past lunch time. He didn't care, but Yuan Lingling and the children were still at home.
He entered the house with the intention of asking the two what they wanted to eat. No matter what happened, they couldn't mistreat their bodies.
But when I entered the room, I found two people, one big and one small, sleeping soundly on the bed, and their postures were surprisingly the same.
Maybe because the kang in the room was warm, both of them stretched their arms outside and consciously lifted the quilt. Chen Caisheng shook his head and walked forward to tuck the quilt corners for the child, and Yuanyuan obediently shrank back into the quilt.
But when it was Yuan Lingling's turn, she grabbed Shen Caisheng's wrist with some vigilance.
Chen Caisheng struggled gently but failed to break free. Instead, she hugged him to her chest. Although there was a quilt between them, he realized that the posture was very ambiguous. In an instant, Chen Caisheng felt a numbness rushing to his head, and he suddenly withdrew his hands and put them behind his back.
Yuan Lingling frowned, turned over, and fell asleep with her back to him. Her back seemed as if she was angry with him.
Shen Caisheng curled the corners of his lips and completely forgot about the annoyance he had just felt.
Yuan Lingling was dreaming at this time. She dreamed that she was gnawing on a big pork elbow, but just as she was about to take a bite, Shen Caisheng appeared out of nowhere and snatched her food away!
If she didn't give him the elbow, he would lock himself up. Why was he so cruel?
Yuan Lingling succumbed to the tyranny and reluctantly gave up the elbow, watching Shen Caisheng finish eating her elbow. When she woke up, she was still in a daze and couldn't help but wipe the corner of her mouth.
Shen Caisheng is so hateful!
She was cursing Shen Caisheng inwardly when the door was pushed open with a creak.
For some reason, Yuan Lingling suddenly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
She pricked up her ears and heard Shen Caisheng turn on the light and then approach her. Yuan Lingling nervously grabbed her pants under the quilt, but still did not open her eyes. She was afraid to open her eyes and see the other party's hideous face.
It was her fault for being so used to it. She should have locked the door first.
Shen Caisheng originally wanted to push her awake, but when he got closer he found that Yuan Lingling was pretending to be asleep. He couldn't help but smile. She was actually quite interesting.
Suddenly feeling a little evil, Shen Caisheng stood up and unbuttoned his clothes.
Yuan Lingling's brows furrowed more and more as she listened to the rustling sounds. Chen Caisheng suddenly came into the room without saying anything, and started taking off his clothes as soon as they disagreed. What was he trying to do?
Suddenly, she felt the quilt beside her being lifted. She couldn't help but open her eyes abruptly, then sat up and turned around to see that Shen Caisheng was dressed neatly. He didn't look like he was going to do anything bad at all.
So what was he doing just now?
Yuan Lingling was puzzled. She looked around, but the room was still as before.
She became even more confused.
"What are you looking at? Get up and eat. Yuanyuan is already up." Shen Caisheng felt amused when he saw her reaction, but at the same time he despised himself. Why did he play teasing on others for no reason?
"Well, be careful. If you sleep for too long, you won't be able to sleep at night."
Yuan Lingling scratched her head. She certainly couldn't admit that she was doubting him. She just said "oh" and changed the subject, asking, "What time is it now?"
"It's almost four o'clock."
Yuan Lingling glanced out the window and continued to make small talk, "It looks like it's dark outside."
The windows at that time were not as bright as the glass windows of later generations. They were just ordinary wooden lattice windows with paper pasted on the inside, so one could only vaguely see the light from outside. Therefore, Yuan Lingling often thought it was dark outside.
Chen Caisheng didn't comment, but suddenly remembered what the room looked like when he came in just now, so he asked, "Don't you like this window? Do you want me to make a curtain for you to block the light? If the light is dim, you may be more comfortable sleeping during the day."
"No, no." Yuan Lingling shook her hands repeatedly. She felt suffocated just thinking about that scene. It was pitch black with only a little light coming in from the window. It was as if she was locked in there.
That's really terrible.
God knows how she got through those first few days when she came here. When he finds out that his electricity bill is ridiculously high, he will probably have to come to him.
Yuan Lingling puffed her cheeks unconsciously again. She still felt that she was most comfortable living here.
How can one get a divorce smoothly?
Shen Caisheng stood aside and watched her slow movements. He didn't know what he was thinking about. His face was puffed up. When he noticed that she was in a bad mood, Shen Caisheng felt his heart aches. He didn't think much about it. His mind was full of his previous plans.
He pursed his lips, put his hands on the desk behind him and asked, "Are you sure you want to divorce me?"
Hearing this, Yuan Lingling paused in her action of getting out of bed. Not sure what Shen Caisheng meant, she looked up at him.
At this moment, Shen Caisheng was leaning casually on the desk, looking very lazy. When Yuan Lingling looked over, his eyes, like deep pools, happened to meet hers. Yuan Lingling's heart skipped a beat.
If such eyes did not appear on Shen Caisheng's face, they could be described as mysterious and affectionate.
But this kind of deep affection is obviously not something Yuan Lingling can bear.
Yuan Lingling lowered her head and stuffed her feet into her woolen shoes. "Is it okay?" she asked.
Shen Caisheng's tightly pursed lips loosened and he let out a low laugh, "If I say no, you won't leave?"
"Yeah." Yuan Lingling didn't know what answer he wanted to hear, so she could only agree obediently.
She couldn't guess why he asked such a question. Hadn't she asked it very clearly?
Is it possible to talk about divorce casually these days?
"Okay, then we'll go to the street office tomorrow to get a certificate."
