After buying things, Lin Rui and Zhang Xiaojuan went home together. Usually, Lin Rui was eager to go back quickly, but this time, he regretted for the first time that he left too fast.
Without saying much, we arrived at Zhang Xiaojuan's village.
Arriving at the village entrance, Zhang Xiaojuan stopped asking Lin Rui to continue sending me home. "We're not engaged yet. It's not appropriate for you to go to my house now. Just send me here."
The eldest sister is still at home. If Lin Rui sends her home now, he will most likely run into her, which will inevitably be a little awkward. It would be better to wait a while and wait until the awkwardness is over before going to see her.
"That's fine." Lin Rui was also afraid of running into Zhang Xiaoling, "You go back!"
Zhang Xiaojuan nodded and turned to leave when Lin Rui suddenly said, "Xiaojuan."
"What's wrong?"
"You..." Lin Rui asked in a low voice, "Are you free to go to the street tomorrow?"
Is this a date with her?
Zhang Xiaojuan smiled and said, "I don't know either. Let's see tomorrow!"
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
Lin Rui looked confused. Should he go or not?
He stood at the entrance of the village for a while, until Zhang Xiaojuan disappeared, and then he left reluctantly.
…
Zhang Xiaojuan trotted back home. As soon as she entered the yard, Zhang Xiaoling, who was knitting a sweater at the door, said sarcastically, "You still remember to come back?"
Zhang Xiaojuan glanced at her and said nothing.
When she heard that Zhang Xiaojuan had returned, Zhang's mother, who was washing the pot in the kitchen, walked out of the kitchen without even bothering to wipe the water off her hands.
"Xiaojuan, did Lin Rui buy anything for you?"
"Look, you have nothing in your hands, what can you buy?" Zhang Xiaoling replied with disdain.
Zhang's mother saw that Zhang Xiaojuan really had nothing in her hands and immediately became unhappy. "You didn't do any housework, and you didn't even wash the clothes. You worked for others for a whole morning for nothing, and you come back empty-handed?"
Zhang Xiaojuan glanced at the clothes soaking in the basin in the yard and felt very upset. "We haven't even decided on the marriage yet, why should I spend their money?"
Zhang Xiaoling snorted, "I just don't want to spend money on you." To be honest, she was very happy to see Zhang Xiaojuan with empty hands.
From this point of view, she was foresighted in not following Lin Rui. How could a man as stupid as a goose know how to spend money on a woman?
"Who said that?" Zhang Xiaojuan took out the hairband, "This is what he bought for me."
Zhang Xiaoling looked disdainful and said, "You have the nerve to take out something that you can't even spend a dime on."
"It's fine as long as I don't mind." Regardless of status, this is Lin Rui's feeling.
"Look at what you've accomplished." Zhang's mother said with a sullen face, "You're not allowed to go tomorrow."
The marriage has not been decided yet, and no money has been spent. She wants her daughter to help with housework for free. Don’t even think about it.
"You are biased."
Zhang Xiaojuan stomped her feet in anger and walked towards the main room.
"Where are you going?" Zhang's mother shouted angrily at her back, "The clothes haven't been washed yet."
"I'll wash later." Zhang Xiaojuan rushed into the house.
Zhang Xiaoling reminded her, "Mom, you have to keep a close eye on her. If she goes out every day, don't let Lin Rui get her pregnant. Then you won't get any betrothal gifts, and it will be embarrassing if the news gets out."
"She dares," said Zhang's mother, "if she dares to do such a shameful thing, I will beat her to death."
Zhang Xiaoling was in the house, listening to the conversation outside, feeling extremely uncomfortable. No matter how hard or tired she was at home, no one felt sorry for her.
She only went out this time, and the clothes had not been washed yet. They were all soaking in the basin waiting for her.
If someone treated her sincerely, let alone Lin Rui, even if it was a beggar, she would not want to stay in this house anymore...
