In the morning, Xiaoxiao went to the rental courtyard; she still had such a big mess to deal with.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, she saw Yang Dong working in the yard. She waved at Yang Dong and gestured with her fingers for him to come over, meaning "you come here." When Yang Dong saw Xiaoxiao making that gesture, he felt that something was not right, as if Xiaoxiao was angry again.
"I heard you want to marry me?"
Xiaoxiao raised the corners of her mouth, asking with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
"Hehe, hehe, I was just talking nonsense! Sister-in-law, don’t take it seriously! Don’t take it seriously!" Yang Dong said with a silly grin, scratching his head!
"I heard I’m carrying your child?"
"That wasn’t me who said that! It was the second sister-in-law, so I was so angry, I said I would marry you!" Yang Dong raised his voice a bit as he looked up.
It turned out to be the big mouth of the second sister-in-law blabbering nonsense. Xiaoxiao thought as much; the second sister-in-law’s loose lips were indeed the cause of great conflicts, utter nonsense. She used to always ask her for information, but it seemed that the information she got was not necessarily true! Unreliable!
"You rascal, let’s see if you dare to spout nonsense again next time!"
Xiaoxiao said and then smacked Yang Dong on the head, causing him to cry out, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong, I was wrong! Stop hitting, ouch, it hurts!"
"Learn your lesson, don’t you know trouble comes from the mouth?"
Having said that, Xiaoxiao let go of Yang Dong and walked towards the inside of the courtyard. It was necessary for her to have a serious talk with the chatty second sister-in-law.
Yet, she did not expect that someone just happened to pass by the courtyard gate by coincidence.
"Second sister-in-law, come out for a sec." Xiaoxiao’s face was as cold as ice.
"What is it, younger sister-in-law?"
The second sister-in-law came trotting out, thinking it was something good!
"How do I usually treat you, second sister-in-law?"
"And how am I towards this family?"
"That goes without saying, you’re great! What’s gotten into you today, younger sister-in-law?"
"If there’s nothing wrong, don’t gossip about others all the time, stirring up trouble. Watch your mouth, be careful that trouble comes from it!"
Before the second sister-in-law could reply, she turned around and walked away! She was not someone who engaged in fights with others. She couldn’t bring herself to speak harshly to the family members with whom she had been living for over a month since her arrival.
The custom-made work uniforms had arrived, and the workers were all back on the job, everything proceeding in an orderly fashion.
Recalling last night, Xiaoxiao felt utterly embarrassed that she had been held by that blockhead Yang Ming, and that he had even cried in her arms; she felt her cheeks heating up unconsciously. How on earth did she manage to fall asleep last night?
As she was thinking, she saw Yang Ming enter the courtyard. What was he here for this time!
"Wife, why did you come over without having breakfast?"
"..." It’s none of your damn business whether I eat or not!
"Wife, I brought breakfast for you!"
Yang Ming dragged Xiaoxiao into the house and pushed her down onto a chair.
"..." I’m not eating your sister, I get annoyed just by seeing you! But, she didn’t stop talking because honestly, she was really hungry. She didn’t want to mess with her own stomach! Unbeknownst to her, she ended up eating all the food Yang Ming had brought.
Yang Ming was clearing away the dishes, feeling happy inside. His wife hadn’t mentioned divorce again and had eaten all the food he’d brought, which was great.
He was a very simple man, not knowing how to get along with his wife, unsure with whom to discuss it.
"Wife, let’s go back!"
His wife had spoken only two sentences to him since waking up that morning, one was "get out," and the other was "don’t talk to me." What was he supposed to do?
