Boiled water

Song Shixia now had an extra two thousand yuan in his small piggy bank, plus the two hundred yuan he earned from selling fruits, he was now considered to be a wealthy man.

Song Qiu Sheng found a job and had to move to the staff dormitory, so she took Ji Weiqing with her to help.

After living together for a long time, she found that Ji Weiqing's daily activities were reading books or writing papers in the study.

At first she thought he was working overtime, but as time went on she became confused: Are all college teachers so busy? She had never seen him have a single day of leisure.

It was not until Ji Weiqing was driven downstairs by her mother to accompany her in planting roses in the yard that she realized that this man was secretly having an affair with a colleague behind her back.

How could such a thing as involution happen at home! Song Shixia once again remembered the fear of having his time controlled by powerful people.

She is an ordinary person who started from scratch with no background, but she has to personally receive the powerful and wealthy people who come to her store.

Because the space was secret, she would go to the warehouse to restock the goods after closing. Sometimes, after working all night to restock the goods, she would not sleep for long before the manager called her to say that a distinguished customer had come, and she could only force herself to wait in the store.

As time goes by, I feel more and more tired, exhausted both physically and mentally. My worth is getting higher and higher, and I have no time to spare.

Song Shixia tried her best to brainwash him.

"Statutory holidays are for you to relax and adjust your physical condition. Don't you feel tired from reading literature and writing papers every day?" What if you overuse your brain and become bald at a young age?

If it was before, Ji Weiqing would not feel tired, and even enjoy it, this is his lifelong love. But recently, he couldn't help but let his thoughts wander, and he didn't understand what was wrong with him.

He said reluctantly, "I am a little tired."

Song Shixia made him a cup of scented tea and tapped his shoulders.

"So, we should take a good rest during the holidays and leave the work to be completed at the company. What do you think?"

The reason why she likes this era is that the crowd is full of vigor and vitality, and everyone is fighting for a better future.

This kind of struggle is not the future of involution and internal consumption, but a spirit in which even though material things are poor, everyone's thoughts and souls are rich.

She made more money than she could spend, but she was spiritually impoverished. She wanted to live a carefree life, but she had no idea what to do to be happy from the bottom of her heart.

Ji Weiqing listened to her words, so the task of digging holes in the garden fell on him.

Song Shixia was very satisfied. It was not tiring to work with a man and a woman together. Her mother-in-law was really nice.

She originally wanted to help her brother buy daily necessities, but she didn't expect Song Qiu Sheng to buy them himself.

Song Qiusheng laughed at her mercilessly.

"If I rely on you to buy it, I'm afraid I'll have to go shopping again myself, so just save yourself the worry."

Song Shixia retorted: "Lu Dongbin is just a dog-bitten person, he doesn't know the kindness of a good person." Song Qiu Sheng thought she was stupid. It was obvious that she bought the things in advance because she was afraid that she would use her husband's money.

Ji Weiqing was like a wooden stake. He couldn't get a word in. He just watched silently and did the job of a bodyguard.

But Song Shixia didn't mind. After all, taking him out for a walk was progress.

Song Shixia paced back and forth in the room, observing his dormitory. It was a double room, and currently only Song Qiu Sheng lived there.

How can I find an opportunity to slip the thirty yuan back to Song Qiu Sheng?

The money she sent home was secretly stuffed under the sofa cushion by Song Qiu Sheng, but was still found by her mother-in-law and given to her.

Song Qiu Sheng urged her: "Isn't it time for you to leave? What's so good about a man's house?"

Song Shixia was not convinced, so she sat down on another wooden bed board.

"I want some water. Is that your way of entertaining guests? Don't you offer them water?"

Song Qiu Sheng thought he was in the wrong, mainly because his brother-in-law also came with him, and it was indeed inconsiderate of him not to pour water for him.

"Okay, I'll go and heat it for you. Don't die of thirst." The kitchen is shared and not in the dormitory area. There are so many people coming and going here that he has to leave for a while. Fortunately, his brother-in-law is with his sister.

Song Qiu Sheng went to boil water, and Song Shixia quickly pulled Ji Weiqing to his side like a thief.

She glanced at her brother as he left and lowered her voice, "Can you help me find a good place to hide the things?"

Ji Weiqing looked puzzled.

"What are you trying to hide?"

Song Shixia told her about the money her family sent her, and specifically stated that she did not take his money.

"You know I have two thousand dollars in my own pocket now, and I wanted to help my brother. Anyway, I don't want the family money, so it doesn't matter who takes it."

Ji Weiqing frowned slightly: "Why do we have to divide it so clearly? I'll give you all my salary."

Song Shixia shook her head: "No, your money and my money are two different concepts. I can give my money to my parents and my brothers and sisters, but I can't use your salary to give them. This is a matter of principle."

Ji Weiqing was dissatisfied with her answer. Since they were family, why should they draw a line between them and him in terms of money?

He was about to open his mouth.

Song Shixia interrupted him: "Let's talk later. Now help me find a place to hide the things."

Ji Weiqing pointed to the pillow.

"pillowcase."

"I didn't think of that. He didn't realize there was something wrong with the pillow until he went to sleep."

Song Shixia had just stuffed the things in when a woman's questioning voice came from the door.

"What are you doing?"

Song Shixia was so scared that her hands were shaking. She first glared at Ji Weiqing, who didn't even remind her that someone was coming. Fortunately, the money had already been stuffed in.

Ji Weiqing had no intention of keeping watch, and he didn't think he needed to feel guilty about it. He was observing her movements, and he couldn't understand why she had to be so clear with him.

The woman at the door was probably in her twenties, with fashionable curly hair, bright red lipstick, a red polka-dot skirt and a black shawl. She was definitely a fashionable girl who was at the forefront of fashion.

Good sister Yu's looks, this sister can do it!

She probably didn't see him stuffing the money into the bag, so she made up an excuse to change the subject: "I... I'm helping to make the quilt. Madam, are you looking for Song Qiusheng?"

Song Shixia quietly observed the beautiful sister as if he was a young boy entering the city for the first time. The other party did not match the movie queen and singer in his memory. With this look, there would be no problem for her to debut in G City.

Could this be her brother's girlfriend? No way, her brother is tall and strong, with a little bit of good looks, how can he attract such a beautiful girl?

The woman leaned against the door frame with a half-smile on her face.

"Are you the marriage partner of Song Qiusheng's hometown? I have a piece of advice for you. Don't marry a man who leaves without saying goodbye."

Song Shixia: ...

Well, Song Qiu Sheng is such a scumbag, he has let down such a beautiful sister.

Song Shixia changed her expression on the spot: "Hello, sister, I am Song Qiusheng's sister, this is my husband, we are here to help my brother move into the dormitory."

Yao Xue was in a state of embarrassment. She had finally found out Song Qiu Sheng's workplace and wanted to ask him why he left without saying goodbye. But when she saw a beautiful girl in his room, she couldn't help but mock him, and it turned out to be his sister.

The little girl had a good attitude, and no matter how angry she was, she couldn't take it out on others.

"I'm so sorry, sister. Where is your brother? I have some personal matters to deal with him."

Song Shixia betrayed his brother without hesitation.

"My brother went to the cafeteria to get some hot water. I think he's sitting on the stove making some hot water. I'll go with you."

She was like a badger in a melon field, with the words "eat melon" clearly written in her eyes.

Yao Xue was immediately confused when she saw that she was too enthusiastic towards her.

"Do you recognize me?"

Song Shixia thought for a moment and said, "We don't know each other, but beautiful women always appreciate each other."

Yao Xue couldn't help laughing: "You're really interesting, completely opposite to your brother, that jerk."

Wow, Song Qiu Sheng is a bastard. If Song Qiu Sheng was a scumbag, she would write a letter home to complain.

Song Shixia secretly asked for gossip: "Sister, what's your name? If my brother does anything to let you down, just tell me. I'll write to my mother and she will definitely rush into the city to beat my brother up."

Don't think she doesn't know. Song Qiu Sheng doesn't want to go home because he is being urged to get married. In the countryside, a man of his age would already be pregnant with his second child.

Yao Xue didn't know whether to tell it or not, but it was embarrassing to tell it. She was a rich lady and she was chasing after a man. If her father knew that she came to the capital to discuss business and sneaked out to see Song Qiu Sheng, he would probably be furious.

"It's okay, I just asked him for an answer."

Song Shixia felt a little regretful. She didn't know how Song Qiu Sheng got lucky that he didn't cherish such a beautiful older sister.

She brought her to the cafeteria. Song Qiu Sheng just came out of the cafeteria carrying a bottle of water. When he saw his sister standing with Yao Xue, his eyebrows twitched.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You are really my sister."

Song Shixia quickly pulled Ji Weiqing away.

"Brother, we won't drink water anymore. We'll come to see you next time."

Song Qiusheng: ...

Is it too late to beat the girl to death now?

Song Shixia and Ji Weiqing ran all the way, gasping for breath on their knees at the door.

She smiled and tilted her head: "Did you see the look in my brother's eyes that looked like he wanted to beat me to death?"

Ji Weiqing was helpless: "Why did you provoke your brother? Aren't you two on good terms?"

Song Shixia said confidently: "I cheated him just because we are so close. I can't bear to see a beautiful woman being wronged. And if my brother gets the chance, he will cheat me too."

Ji Weiqing was speechless.

After returning home, Han Rong hummed a song while sewing.

Song Shixia found that it was good to have a mother-in-law to help. She only needed to open her mouth to eat and help out on weekdays. Her mother-in-law took care of all the housework, and she took the two little kids out to play.

This made her feel as if they were trying to keep her with sugar-coated bullets, fearing that she would be wronged and angry at home. Song Shixia could only think of the shadow that Ji Weiqing had cast on her mother-in-law by not getting married before.

In fact, the arrogant Ji Yang and the clingy Ji Yuan really like Song Shixia, and Han Rong wants to be better to her daughter-in-law. The two suffered a lot after their children were born, and they finally have a complete family. She said she would keep her daughter-in-law no matter what.

As for the third brother, she no longer had any hope. The fact that he was able to marry Xiao Xia might be because he saved Xiao Xia's life in his previous life.

Han Rong was holding a dress in her hand.

"You're back. How are your brother's dorm conditions?"

Song Shixia: "Their dormitory is a double room, each person has a wooden bed, and there are windows for ventilation."

"That's fine. Look at the new dress I made for you. Summer is coming soon. I saw you bought so much new cloth. I thought you must want to make clothes."

Song Shixia smiled awkwardly. She had made all sorts of things but hadn't made a skirt for herself. This meant she had overestimated her craftsmanship.

She held the new dress happily and said, "Thank you, Mom! It's so pretty."

She bought a sky blue dress with small floral patterns, and her mother-in-law made it into a dress with a doll collar and puff sleeves for her. It looks really girly.

"I saw young girls in my unit wearing this, I think you would like it too."

Song Shixia's eyes curved into crescents: "I like it very much!"

After she left to change her skirt, Ji Weiqing finally asked her mother the questions that had been pent up in her mind all the way.

"I don't understand. I gave all my paychecks to her, so why did she make such a clear division between me and me?" He felt a little lost as he spoke the rest of the story, always feeling excluded from the family.

I came late and miscalculated the time to upload the folder, making everyone wait for a whole day for the update. I bow and apologize to everyone.
