Yi Xiaoqiu shook her head. If it were her, she would definitely not be willing to lend her new quilt to her love rival.
However, she didn't want to just watch the fun anymore. Now was the perfect time for her to take advantage of the situation and break up the couple.
As soon as Su Mianmian returned to the room, Yi Xiaoqiu knocked on her door.
After Yi Xiaoqiu entered the room, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Su Mianmian looked quite calm sitting on the kang.
"Are you... okay?"
Yi Xiaoqiu glanced at Su Mianmian's expression. She found that once she started talking, the next words were not so difficult to say.
"I never thought that Chi Zhiqing actually has a childhood sweetheart. From what she said, she is the daughter-in-law recognized by his mother. Otherwise, how could a girl like her come to such a faraway place alone to spend the New Year with a gay man? Tsk tsk..."
After hearing this, the calmness on Su Mianmian's face was instantly broken. She took a deep breath and said:
"You... stop talking. This is not what Shu Nian meant."
People are like this. The more you say bad things about them, the better I think they are.
Even if you really think so, or maybe you just want to save face.
Oops! That was a mistake.
Yi Xiaoqiu came to his senses and quickly changed his strategy.
"It definitely wasn't Chi Zhiqing's intention, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to pick someone up so suddenly. We haven't heard anything about it at all!" Yi Xiaoqiu said with a sly smile.
Isn't it? People are coming, and Chi Shunian didn't even tell her in advance. Su Mianmian didn't believe that he didn't receive the letter in advance.
Otherwise, how would he know to pick someone up?
Yi Xiaoqiu saw her face flushing and turning red, and knew that she had heard it.
"Aren't you going to get her a mattress?"
Su Mianmian's face fell completely.
When she went to the countryside, she had nothing decent to own. This mattress was earned by her through hard work and speculation all day long, in the wind and rain.
She earned money and borrowed cotton from her uncle, and asked someone to make two new quilts. She sewed the backs of the quilts herself stitch by stitch.
She had put a lot of effort into embroidering flowers on it. She had originally thought of covering it with it when she got married, but now Chi Shunian asked her to lend it to his love rival. Did he really care about her?
Yi Xiaoqiu knew that she had just made two new quilts, and she had also seen the embroidery on the back of her quilts. It was easy to tell that she had put a lot of thought into it.
She wouldn't be willing to lend it out either.
"I have a half-worn mattress here. How about I give it to Chi Zhiqing?" Yi Xiaoqiu hesitated.
She wanted to take this opportunity to find out the other party's background so that she could act accordingly.
How could Su Mianmian not agree? No matter who the other party was, since she was sent by Chi Shunian's mother, she couldn't just do nothing.
The more this happened, the more she had to receive her like a hostess so as not to appear inferior.
"Okay, thank you, Xiaoqiu. How about I take it?"
Su Mianmian was a little unhappy about what she said to Yi Xiaoqiu just now, but she was not unhappy about Yi Xiaoqiu as a person, but about the thing that Yi Xiaoqiu was hinting at.
Furthermore, if Yi Xiaoqiu had not persuaded her before, she might have gotten married with Chi Shunian in a fit of rage, and only then would she find out that her family did not agree with their marriage. That would have been really embarrassing.
"No! That's your love rival. If you go, she might think you're asking for favors!"
When Su Mianmian heard this, she sat down again.
Yes! Isn't that what her family members think now?
Otherwise, why would they send a close childhood sweetheart to annoy her? Isn't it just to make her give up?
Seeing that she looked thoughtful, Yi Xiaoqiu didn't intend to find out what she was thinking. He quickly went back to the house and found two half-worn quilts that belonged to the previous owner.
When she had the conditions, she replaced them all with new ones.
Yi Xiaoqiu came to the front yard holding a quilt.
Chi Shunian was helping Yang Man clean the kang.
Zhao Shuhong was the only one sleeping in the room, and except for the place where she slept, there was a lot of dust everywhere else.
Yi Xiaoqiu was standing outside the door, and Chi Shunian was talking inside.
"You should stay for two days and then go back! The conditions here are not good. You've suffered so much, but you have nowhere to cry."
"No, my aunt asked me to come here to spend the New Year with you. I brought a lot of your favorite food, I'll find it for you."
Soon there was a rustling sound in the house.
Yi Xiaoqiu came in at this time.
In the room, Zhao Shuhong was helping out, with a bright smile on her face.
In the past, when there were many people around, she didn’t mind the room being too crowded.
Now she was the only one sleeping in the room, and she wished there was someone to keep her company. Otherwise, it would be really hard to stay alone in the room all day.
"Comrade, this is the quilt borrowed by Su Zhiqing. Where should we put it?" Yi Xiaoqiu walked into the room and looked around. He saw that all the quilts were dusty except the one used by Zhao Shuhong.
Yang Man raised her head from her bag and looked at the half-worn quilt with a trace of disgust on her face.
Although she was smiling when she spoke, she always had a sense of superiority, "Just put it on Comrade Zhao's kang."
Yang Man had no intention of going forward to take it. When she saw Yi Xiaoqiu put the bedding on the kang, she said nonchalantly: "Thank you, comrade. What's your name?"
"My last name is Yi, Yi Xiaoqiu." Yi Xiaoqiu did not expose her disdain, but smiled and spoke in a calm tone.
It's quite normal for city people to look down on country people.
In the eyes of city people, these educated youth who went to the countryside are no different from the country people. Even if they were from the city before, they now have real rural household registration.
Even though Yi Xiaoqiu was there for the mission, he was not the kind of person who would rush forward. He just put down his bedding and left the house.
Yang Man was a little surprised. She thought that this educated youth was trying to get close to her by sending her the quilt. It was not impossible for Zhiyu to let an educated youth return to the city with just one word from her.
He was surprised for only a moment, and soon his mind was focused on Chi Shunian.
"Brother Shu Nian, you should understand what your aunt means, right? I came here to take you back with me. Your aunt will never agree to you marrying a country boy."
Chi Shunian was silent for a moment, "Xiao Man, I have always treated you as my sister since I was little, why do you have to be like this?"
"The sister who is engaged?" Yang Man's eyes turned red, and the words hidden in her heart blurted out.
She is not afraid of being known, she is just afraid that others don't know.
She wanted everyone to know that she and Chi Shunian were childhood sweethearts who had grown up together. Their parents had even agreed long ago that they would get engaged when they were old enough. All they needed now was a formal engagement ceremony.
After Yi Xiaoqiu went out, he did not leave immediately, but hid outside the door and eavesdropped.
Hearing this news, she became very excited.
Then I felt a little sympathy for Yang Man, the affectionate female supporting character. Her ending in the novel is always not good.
Forget it, I won’t bother with her arrogance.
Now you should hurry up and tell Su Mianmian the good news!
Oh no, tell her about the enemy.
She didn't even listen to Chi Shunian's answer and just left. After all, people were coming and going in the main room, and it would be bad if someone saw her eavesdropping.
In the room, Chi Shunian rubbed his hair with a headache, "How come you didn't know that I went to the countryside? I didn't agree to the engagement."
"Why do you disagree? I grew up with the title of your fiancée, Chi Shunian. What were you doing before?"
