Chapter 4: Hurry Up and Have a Baby

Just praise if you want.

What is loving praise?

“The system strategy shows that genuine praise can win people’s hearts.”

Xu Jiaojiao: …

Recalling the indifferent and full of disgust gaze, Xu Jiaojiao felt that she couldn’t praise him at all!

And genuine praise?

You’re making it hard for me, Fatty Tiger!

“Jiaojiao, you get points for completing the task ~”

…

Points = Space!

“I’ll take it!” Xu Jiaojiao gritted her teeth!

All for points! Isn’t it just genuine praise?

She can do it!

Thinking this in her heart, Xu Jiaojiao rubbed the towel with even more force.

As if she wasn’t rubbing a towel, but the little system that was killing people without compensation.

The towel, which had been used for several years, was directly split into two sections under her violent rubbing.

Holding one section of the towel in each hand, Xu Jiaojiao was a little doubtful about life.

She… is she that strong?

“Good for you, Xu Jiaojiao, are you that wasteful? You tore a good towel in half!”

Ding Xiujing, who had just come out of the kitchen, saw her tear a towel in half.

She couldn’t help but scold her.

The Qin family hadn’t split up yet, and the money was all shared. Xu Jiaojiao tore the towel, wouldn’t she have to use the family’s money to buy a new one?

“I like to use it in half, what’s it to you?” Xu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw the man who had disappeared early in the morning appear at the door.

Meeting those emotionless eyes, Xu Jiaojiao froze.

It was as if she had seen the headmaster.

Her two hands reflexively wanted to hide the broken towel.

But she moved for a moment, then Xu Jiaojiao reacted. Why should she be afraid of him?

Seeing the man walking towards her, she calmly withdrew her gaze.

She calmly put the broken half of the towel in the water, wet it, and washed her face.

Soon, those big, clumsy legs passed by her.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Xu Jiaojiao felt his footsteps pause.

Thinking of her task, and then thinking of the man’s expressionless poker face, Xu Jiaojiao wanted to quit again.

“Xu Jiaojiao, I didn’t expect you to be so cowardly.” You’re even afraid of your own husband.

After Qin Shuo left, Ding Xiujing laughed unceremoniously.

“You’re not cowardly, go chat with him.” Xu Jiaojiao wasn’t embarrassed at all.

With that frozen face, who wouldn’t be afraid?

Ding Xiujing: …

Thinking of the third son’s cold face, Ding Xiujing shrank her neck in shame, feeling that she was afraid too.

She didn’t know what was going on, but this time the third son came back, it was as if he had changed.

He used to be quiet, but he wasn’t like this now.

That glance just now, from such a distance, Ding Xiujing felt that he had an indescribable aura about him.

It made people afraid to breathe.

Thinking this, she couldn’t help but look at Xu Jiaojiao with sympathy.

What a pity, she married such a man.

What good is it to be handsome? He’s not as good as her own, who knows how to be considerate.

Xu Jiaojiao: …

Don’t think I didn’t see the schadenfreude in your eyes.

Xu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes.

She also learned to look expressionless like the man, wrung out the two halves of the broken towel, and hung it up.

Back in the room, Xu Jiaojiao quickly folded the quilt on the bed.

As for cleaning the room, she didn’t know if she would have time.

The tea picking would start at six or seven in the morning, and they would have to leave for the mountain after Ding Xiujing cooked and packed everything.

The bed was tidied up in no time, and she looked back at the messy room.

Xu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but sigh.

She didn’t know how the original owner could stand it.

She couldn’t help herself, and she started to tidy up the things in the room.

The unnecessary things on the table and stools were directly thrown on the floor.

She planned to tidy them up and throw them away when she came back.

When she reached the stool by the bed, she hesitated for a moment, then picked up the bag.

“Put it down.”

Suddenly, the man’s indifferent voice came from the door.

Xu Jiaojiao: …

Put it down, who cares?

Throwing the luggage back on the stool, Xu Jiaojiao continued to tidy up other things.

She didn’t even look at the man.

She felt that she was clashing with this man.

The things she learned were useless here.

Qin Shuo frowned and took the luggage to the foot of the bed.

Without saying a word, he bent down and picked up the things on the floor.

He moved some of the useless things outside.

Xu Jiaojiao was surprised to find that he was cleaning the room.

In her memory, men in this era were very patriarchal.

If they could avoid housework, they absolutely wouldn’t touch it.

If someone did housework, they would be ridiculed by other men.

They would laugh at the man for being useless and the woman for being lazy.

Looking at it this way, he’s actually pretty good.

Suddenly, Xu Jiaojiao remembered her task.

“You…”

In the quiet room, the woman’s sweet and soft voice rang out, delicate and soft.

Qin Shuo paused in his movements, looked up at her.

The light shone through the narrow window, hitting her just right.

The woman’s almond-shaped eyes were round and bright, her gaze clear, completely unlike the obsession and fanaticism she had in her previous life.

Qin Shuo’s eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, then he said calmly, “What’s wrong?”

Xu Jiaojiao: …

Meeting those calm and unwavering eyes,

Xu Jiaojiao’s praise, which was about to come out of her mouth, couldn’t be said.

The atmosphere was strangely stuffy.

Xu Jiaojiao even felt like scratching the floor.

Seeing that she wasn’t speaking, Qin Shuo frowned, bent down again, and continued to move things.

The man’s arms were strong and powerful.

A large pile of things seemed to be weightless foam in his hands, light as a feather.

“Your arms are really big!”

Catching a key word, Xu Jiaojiao blurted out.

As soon as the words fell, the room fell silent again.

Xu Jiaojiao: …

Ah ah ah!

What did she say?

Qin Shuo looked up and saw the woman looking as if she wanted to burrow into the ground.

That look, which he had never seen before, made Qin Shuo stunned for a moment.

When he realized his emotions, he frowned and looked away.

At this time, Xu Jiaojiao was already considering the feasibility of moving to another planet.

But before she could think further, she saw the man walk out of the door with the things in his arms.

It was as if he treated her as air.

For a while, Xu Jiaojiao didn’t know whether to be relieved or what.

She watched him leave, and it took a while before she felt relieved.

She paused for a moment, then continued to tidy up the room, but her movements were absent-minded.

She didn’t know how long it took, but when there was nothing left to tidy up in the room, Xu Jiaojiao went out slowly.

When she passed Wang Fengmei’s room, she heard the voice inside and couldn’t help but stop.

“It’s good that you’re back, you should hurry up and have a baby.”

Xu Jiaojiao: …
