[Chapter 23 Chapter 23 If eyes could kill...]
Shen Yuyao did not answer immediately, but looked at the person in front of her.
This was a pretty-looking girl, probably a little older than her, perhaps around twenty years old.
She is tall, with an oval face, double eyelids, a high nose bridge, and thick lips with upturned corners, which makes her look like she is smiling even when she is not smiling.
She is the kind of person who looks festive and the mistresses are willing to choose her as a maid just by looking at her appearance.
But at this moment, the girl with a festive look looked at Shen Yuyao with a gloomy face and cold eyes.
Shen Yuyao felt that if looks could kill, she would have been killed several times by this man.
Seeing this situation, even if no one introduced Shen Yuyao, she knew that this person must be Wang Yueling.
The neighbor who wanted to date Cheng Liyan.
Thinking of this, her brows became even more gloomy.
She ignored Wang Yueling, but passed her by and walked towards her home.
Seeing that she was being ignored, Wang Yueling was furious and shouted, "I'm asking you a question! Are you the new Shen Yuyao who moved here?"
When she heard her name mentioned, Shen Yuyao finally gave her a look, and then responded coldly: "It's none of your business."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Shen Yuyao spoke in a low voice and in a calm tone, without provoking or saying anything unpleasant.
But Wang Yueling just felt that she was being despised.
Or rather, when facing Shen Yuyao, she inexplicably felt ashamed of herself.
Looking at the man's receding figure, some lines from a play suddenly popped up in Wang Yueling's mind.
"Eyebrows are black without drawing, lips are red without lipstick."
"Her face is as white as spring water, and her hair is as black as ink."
She bit her lips hard in hatred.
Wang Yueling has always been a very proud person.
She has been beautiful since she was a child.
Ever since she could remember, her mother had been whispering in her ear every day: "Our Yueling has great potential. She will definitely find a good husband when she grows up."
At first, her mother wanted her to find a high-ranking official.
Later, the movement began, and all the cadres were in danger, fearing that one day they would be targeted, exposed, and instantly overthrown.
So her mother stopped thinking about becoming a cadre and started thinking about letting her marry into the military.
After all, officers in the army are promoted based on their military merits, and that cannot be erased by just a few words from anyone.
Moreover, military personnel have high salaries, good benefits, and are glorious!
Being a military dependent also brings you benefits.
Wang Yueling has been introduced to many people in the past two years, but not many of them are really good.
There will always be things that don’t go as planned.
After all, apart from her good looks and a job that she got in exchange for her sister's marriage, there is nothing else she has.
Her family couldn't give her any help at all.
Being able to find Cheng Liyan was the result of Wang Yueling’s own efforts.
Last year, heavy rains hit Binhai, and the entire city was flooded. Cheng Liyan brought his group to this area for disaster relief.
Wang Yueling fell in love with him at first sight.
Later, when I found out that he was not married, I was even more moved.
It took Wang Yueling a year to get in touch with Lian Fengmei, who loved to go to their supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.
It took a long time before she took the initiative to ask to introduce someone to herself, and finally, after Wang Yueling's careful guidance, she thought of Cheng Liyan.
In order to meet Cheng Liyan, Wang Yueling spent a full year and three months!
It was about to succeed, but...
But Shen Yuyao just showed up!
How could Wang Yueling not hate this?
Seeing Shen Yuyao enter the house, Wang Yueling stomped her feet in anger and ran away!
Shen Yuyao didn't care what Wang Yueling was thinking. She went home, put down the things she bought, and then went to find Xiaoya.
Xiaoya was not alone in the room at this time.
There was another little girl in her house, the girl who was crying in the yard in the morning.
The two of them sat facing each other at a small table and ate.
Seeing her, Xiaoya happily pulled Shen Yuyao into the house.
As he walked, he said, "Auntie Xiao Shen, I'll serve you a bowl of vegetable porridge!"
Shen Yuyao saw the porridge Xiaoya cooked in the morning. There was only half a pot, and she gave herself a big bowl. There must not be much left.
That was the little girl’s daily meal.
Shen Yuyao didn't know who this girl learned her generosity from.
Based on her impression of Mrs. Qian, this should not be like her.
She quickly said to Xiaoya, "No, I haven't finished my breakfast yet. I'll just go back and eat that."
As she spoke, she handed the two meat buns in her hand to Xiaoya.
After thinking for a while, she went back to the house and brought over a vegetable bun, saying, "This is for you too."
Anyway, with her appetite, one bun is enough.
There were also snacks in the room that my mother had brought over in the morning.
And these two girls obviously have much bigger appetites than her.
The two girls felt embarrassed after receiving such a gift from Shen Yuyao.
Especially the girl who was sitting in the room and had been looking at her with a somewhat wary look.
The girl stood up, took a cleanly washed sweet potato from the bowl on the table and handed it to Shen Yuyao, saying, "This is for you, it's very sweet."
The girl's voice was low, and it sounded completely different from the one that had been howling in the morning.
Looking at the sweet potatoes, Shen Yuyao's eyes were a little complicated.
If she remembered correctly, the girl was scolded in the morning because she ate sweet potatoes at home, right?
The girl was very perceptive and saw what Shen Yuyao was thinking at once. She said immediately, "I didn't eat it secretly. My mother bought these sweet potatoes. They want to starve me to death, but I won't!"
He looked very stubborn.
Shen Yuyao didn't want to disappoint the child, so she took the sweet potato and said thank you.
I couldn't help but touch the little girl's face.
There was a large chapped spot on the little girl's face, which was red and swollen, and it made people feel a little distressed just by looking at it.
After leaving Xiaoya's house, Shen Yuyao went back to the house and turned on the stove. She first poured the vegetable porridge she had made in the morning into the pot to heat it up, then took out another bun and slowly started to eat it.
Even though she felt the vegetable porridge was too rough and didn't want to eat it in the morning, after seeing how the two girls lived, Shen Yuyao had learned to cherish it.
She knew that this bowl of vegetable porridge was saved by Xiaoya from her own food rations.
After eating the steamed buns and vegetable porridge, it was heated up and Shen Yuyao scooped it out and took a sip.
Not to mention, this porridge tastes pretty good, light and refreshing, and quite smooth.
Shen Yuyao sat there and slowly ate the whole bowl of porridge.
The meal was very enjoyable and afterward Shen Yuyao started to make snacks.
She wanted to go to the army in the afternoon to ask Cheng Liyan in person about the marriage.
Since she was going there, she naturally couldn't go empty-handed, so she wanted to make some four-happiness steamed dumplings by herself and bring them over.
