Chapter 574: 151: You really are a good child_1
Zhou Wenhua did not respond to Li Ronghua’s words; instead, he ripped open the box that contained the pen.
It’s really a PARKER pen!
Zhou Wenhua was thrilled. He hugged Li Ronghua tightly, saying, “Ronghua, thank you! I love you!”
Zhou Wenhua was only this enthusiastic towards Li Ronghua when he received a gift that he had been longing for.
Li Ronghua, a bit embarrassed, pushed Zhou Wenhua away. “Wenhua, what are you doing! Stop being cheeky! You should check out the pen first, I’m going to go see if Auntie needs any help.”
The couple had been seeing each other for a few years now, yet they hadn’t engaged in any overly intimate behaviours.
This made Li Ronghua feel a little uncomfortable.
Upon entering the living room, Li Ronghua saw Wang Meiying sitting on the sofa, picking her teeth. Upon seeing Li Ronghua approach, she immediately yelled at Zhou Xiuzhen, “You lazy bum! Why haven’t you done the dishes yet! All you do is eat and laze around!”
Li Ronghua, seemingly oblivious to the hidden meaning in Wang Meiying’s words, quickly replied, “Auntie, Xiuzhen is still young, let me do the dishes.”
Wang Meiying forced a fake smile, “Oh Ronghua, that would be such a nuisance for you, what a good child you are!”
“It’s no hassle.” What’s so hard about washing dishes?
Li Ronghua immediately headed to the kitchen to start washing the dishes.
The stove was piled with dishes, some from the morning.
Humming a small tune, Li Ronghua efficiently washed the dishes.
For her, this was nothing.
Because here, there were people she loved, and people who loved her.
Besides, how many daughters-in-law wouldn’t have to wash dishes at their in-laws’ home?
“Sister-in-law…” Zhou Xiuzhen cheerfully walked in from outside, speaking warmly, “Sister-in-law, you’re washing dishes? Can I help you?”
Li Ronghua, a bit embarrassed, said, “Don’t go calling me that!”
Zhou Xiuzhen replied, “Anyway, you’re going to be my sister-in-law sooner or later. Plus, I only call you that when others aren’t around. Sister-in-law, let me help you. It’s too much for you to do alone.”
Li Ronghua laughed, “It’s okay, you can go out and play.”
Zhou Xiuzhen looked at Li Ronghua, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Humming her tune, Li Ronghua didn’t notice Zhou Xiuzhen’s strange behavior.
What’s going on with Li Ronghua today?
Could it be that she didn’t notice her unusual behavior?
Since Li Ronghua remained silent, Zhou Xiuzhen had no choice but to speak up, “Sister-in-law, I need your help with something…”
“What is it?” Li Ronghua glanced at her.
Zhou Xiuzhen continued, “Sister-in-law, could you lend me some money…”
To Zhou Xiuzhen, Li Ronghua was like a walking ATM.
Just like a fool, she could be easily tricked every time.
“Of course!” Li Ronghua wiped her hands on her apron and without hesitation, pulled out some coins from her pocket and gave them to Zhou Xiuzhen, “Here you go.”
The coins were all pennies and dimes, the largest of which was only three cents.
Added together, they didn’t even amount to thirty cents!
Zhou Xiuzhen complained somewhat contemptuously, “Isn’t this too little? Sister-in-law, could you give me some more?”
Li Ronghua said, “What does a kid like you need so much money for?”
“Sister-in-law, please, you’re my own sister-in-law. I’m not asking for much, just two yuan will do…”
Zhou Xiuzhen was Zhou Wenhua’s only sister and her future sister-in-law. Naturally, she couldn’t offend her future sister-in-law!
Li Ronghua nodded, “Alright, alright! I’ll give it to you!”
“You’re the best, sister-in-law!” Zhou Xiuzhen was very happy.
After taking the money, Zhou Xiuzhen ran out of the kitchen.
Once Li Ronghua had finished the dishes and left the kitchen, Wang Meiying instructed Zhou Xiuzhen to do the laundry.
In the end, the person doing the laundry turned out to be Li Ronghua.
The laundry had been piling up for days.
By the time Li Ronghua had finished washing the laundry, it was already past five in the afternoon. “Uncle, Auntie, it’s getting late, I should go home.”
