Chapter 34

The little rabbit in her palm was only the size of a ping pong ball, but it was carved with exquisite detail.

It was evident that the carver was incredibly skilled.

It was a pitiful thought, but this was the first little gift she had ever received, in this life or the last. It was unique.

And…

She had received a gift from Ji Mingjing. Would it be too much to repay him by delivering him dinner tomorrow?

Heh!

Lu Yunxiang smiled sweetly.

“Brother Ji, I love it. I’ll bring you dinner tomorrow.”

Ji Mingjing smiled.

He thought Lu Yunxiang’s words were a bit off.

If he hadn’t given her the little rabbit, would she not bring him dinner tomorrow?

Looking at the gentle smile on Lu Yunxiang’s face, he decided he was overthinking it.

Ji Mingjing complimented her, “Your cooking is delicious. Is it very tiring to cook?”

“It’s not very tiring. I don’t cook much at home, my mom doesn’t let me.”

She shrugged, looking helpless.

After all, food was precious these days. What if the person cooking stole some?

That’s what Chen Chunping thought.

So she let Lu Yunxiang do housework, but she wouldn’t let her cook.

And the food at home was locked up.

Lu Yunxiang smiled, “I love cooking. I also like to experiment with food. I love to eat, and I feel terrible if I eat something that doesn’t taste good. I hope we can have meat every day. That’s my ultimate dream.”

At least, it was her ultimate dream at this moment.

Back in this era of scarcity, as a top food connoisseur, she would truly crumble without food.

Ji Mingjing nodded knowingly.

He also took note.

She loved to cook.

She loved to eat meat, and wanted to have meat every day.

Not wanting the conversation to die down, Lu Yunxiang thought for a moment and said, “But I don’t like washing dishes.”

Ji Mingjing nodded.

“I like washing dishes.”

Lu Yunxiang blushed again, silently.

Why did it feel like Ji Mingjing was responding to her?

Was it just her imagination?

She felt like Ji Mingjing was flirting with her!

She had evidence!

After sitting with Ji Mingjing for a while, she felt it was time to go. She stood up and said to Ji Mingjing, “Brother Ji, I’ll go back now. I’ll bring you dinner tomorrow.”

Before she could fully stand up, Ji Mingjing quickly rose from his seat, grabbed the bowls on the table, and went to wash them.

Lu Yunxiang: …

Actually, he had washed the dishes after the previous meals.

But it was Xiao He and Xiao Zhang who washed them.

But this time, she felt like Ji Mingjing was putting on a show.

He was doing it for her, responding to her “I like washing dishes.”

The ward didn’t have a sink, so he had to go outside to wash them.

As Ji Mingjing walked out with the lunch boxes, Xiao He and Xiao Zhang saw him and immediately said, “Captain, let me do it.”

Ji Mingjing calmly pushed the lunch boxes aside.

“No need, I’ll do it myself.”

Xiao He and Xiao Zhang: ???

Lu Yunxiang chuckled behind them, “Don’t mind him, he likes washing dishes, let him wash them.”

The tall figure in front of them paused.

But the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise.

Xiao He and Xiao Zhang’s eyes lingered on Lu Yunxiang for a moment, then on Ji Mingjing for a moment.

They exchanged a look, a knowing expression on their faces.

Their hearts were blooming.

There were sparks between the captain and the sister-in-law!

This sister-in-law had hope!

This was too good to be true!!!

Great joy, shared by all!

Lu Yunxiang left the hospital happily.

Her home and Yang Qingxue’s home were separated by an alley, and she had to pass through Yang Qingxue’s alley to get home from the hospital.

Then, she saw another scene.

Yesterday, Yang Lili pulled her hair, and today, she was pulled by Gao Juhua.

Gao Juhua looked ferocious, grabbing Yang Qingxue’s hair tightly.

“You little slut, all my son’s money was spent on you! Pay back the money! If you don’t pay back the money today, I’ll beat you to death!”

Gao Juhua’s niece worked at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Su Wenyuan always bought things from her.

So she knew exactly what Su Wenyuan bought.

In their circle, not many people could afford to wear new clothes regularly, and Su Wenyuan only interacted with a limited number of people. With a little elimination, it was easy to figure out who it was.

Moreover, Yang Qingxue was so flamboyant.

It was impossible to ignore her.

Yang Qingxue cried, real tears.

Yesterday, she was beaten by Yang Lili, and she could say that Yang Lili was crazy.

After all, everyone had seen Yang Lili’s antics, and Yang Qingxue was indeed innocent, it was just a misfortune.

But today, the matter of Lu Yunxiang and Su Wenyuan had spread like wildfire, and it had already reached every corner of Fengcheng.

Everyone knew that Su Wenyuan had a mistress outside?

He spent forty or fifty yuan on her every month!

She was innocent in the matter of Yang Lili, but she wasn’t innocent in the matter of Su Wenyuan!

Moreover, upon closer thought, she was truly disgusting!

Su Wenyuan was her cousin Lu Yunxiang’s boyfriend.

She received such expensive gifts and so much money from Su Wenyuan every month, didn’t she know it was inappropriate?

She was even trying to steal her cousin’s boyfriend.

She pretended to be kind and generous, it was simply repulsive!

Gao Juhua was heartbroken every time she thought about Yang Qingxue spending Su Wenyuan’s thousand yuan.

“You little vixen, you seduced my son, you cheated my son’s money! If you don’t return the money today, I’ll send you to jail! I’ll report you for engaging in illicit relationships!”

Yang Qingxue’s mother, Chen Qiuxia, rushed over. She was strong and younger than Gao Juhua, and she immediately rescued Yang Qingxue from her grasp.

She shouted at Gao Juhua, “Your son spent money on my daughter willingly, if you want to blame someone, blame your son for giving in to temptation. My daughter is beautiful, she has many admirers, she’s doing your son a favor by taking his money. If you dare to touch my daughter, I’ll report your son! We have nothing to lose, so we’re not afraid of you!”

Yang Qingxue was rescued.

Before she could be happy, her mother’s words made her feel like she was going to faint!

Lu Yunxiang couldn’t help but laugh at the side.

Her aunt really had no brains.

Originally, as long as Su Wenyuan didn’t admit it, and Yang Qingxue didn’t admit it, even if it was true, so what?

But Chen Qiuxia’s words directly confirmed the illicit relationship between Yang Qingxue and Su Wenyuan!

Now, Su Wenyuan and Yang Qingxue were truly condemned by everyone.
