Chapter 72 : I have never seen such a shameless person

Mother Xiao saw that the weather was getting worse and worse, and it was already heading in the direction Jiang Sui had mentioned. This summer was also much hotter than in previous years, and people would be soaked in sweat after being in the sun for a short while.

Because of the hot weather, there are fewer people on the street, and everyone stays at home to avoid the sun. Except for the good business in the morning, there are few customers all day long.

Only in the afternoon when the temperature drops will more customers come out to eat noodles, and they all order mixed potato skin, because this cold noodle is not too hot.

At the end of the day, they can still sell dozens of bowls of noodles, and earning more than 200 yuan a day is enough, which has exceeded their expectations.

Everyone was reluctant to go out, and when they went out to eat noodles, they went straight to the Xiao family, so that the business of other families on the street was simply terrible.

On his way home at night, Xiao Yi saw that his mother had bought so much food and was puzzled.

“Mom, why did you buy so much flour and brown rice? I saw you bought them several times, but I don’t see my second sister-in-law and the others cooking at home.”

Xiao Yi helped drive the cart every day, so Mother Xiao’s purchase of food could not escape his eyes.

At first, he thought they would have brown rice to eat when they got home, but it turned out that every meal was corn cakes and steamed buns made of two-grain flour.

Seeing that he had asked, Mother Xiao decided not to hide it from him.

“Store some food at home for emergencies. Look at the current situation. If there is no harvest in autumn, what will we eat in the second half of the year and next year? If there is no harvest, don’t you have to go out and buy? When everyone buys, the price will go up, and we won’t be able to afford it. You better keep your mouth shut and don’t let anyone know.”

After Mother Xiao explained it this way, Xiao Yi understood.

“Is that so? I didn’t expect you to be so foresighted, huh?” He had never realized that his mother thought about things so long-term and comprehensively.

“It’s not me who has foresight, it’s your fourth sister-in-law who has foresight. She told me to store food. You stupid guy, learn from her.” Mother Xiao pointed at Xiao Yi’s forehead.

It turned out to be my fourth brother’s wife’s idea. That’s fine. My fourth brother’s wife has always been smart and opinionated.

“That’s right, I admit that.”

Jiang Sui didn’t hear the conversation between the mother and son, so she naturally didn’t know they were praising her behind her back, and she was concentrating on packing her things.

—

Ten days passed by uneventfully, and today was Jiang Sui’s turn to rest. Zhou followed Mother Xiao to the town to set up a stall, while she stayed at home to sleep in.

But the weather was too hot and she couldn’t sleep, so she got up early.

Xiao Hechuan is such a clingy guy and stays at home with Jiang Sui.

When he has nothing to do, he just stays with Goudan and writes.

Goudan is quite as diligent as Xiao Hechuan was when he was a child. He only wants to study and practice calligraphy to bring honor to his family.

Jiang Sui packed up her dirty clothes and prepared to take them to the river to wash, but she unexpectedly met Jiang Qiaoqiao on the way.

Jiang Qiaoqiao knew that she was at home today, so she came to look for her on purpose.

Chen Jinhua urged her to come to Jiang Sui every day, and she came because she couldn’t stand the nagging. Since she came to get close to him, Jiang Qiaoqiao’s attitude was okay.

“Hey, Jiang Sui, stop washing some clothes, let’s go for a walk and talk!”

Jiang Sui felt that Jiang Qiaoqiao was acting strange today. Usually, when they met in the village, she would roll her eyes and never speak to him, but today she actually took the initiative to talk to him.

Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary, Jiang Sui looked at her warily.

“Jiang Qiaoqiao, did you take the wrong medicine? What do you think we have to talk about?” Jiang Sui walked around her and prepared to leave.

Jiang Qiaoqiao didn’t expect Jiang Sui to be so disrespectful. She couldn’t hold back the smile on her face and grabbed Jiang Sui’s arm.

“Who are you being disrespectful to? I’m your sister. Besides, I have something to tell you, is that not okay?”

Jiang Qiaoqiao was spoiled by Chen Jinhua and became very arrogant and unreasonable. She looked up like a proud rooster.

Jiang Sui sneered and retorted:

“You still want to be my sister? Are you worthy? Besides, I have nothing to say to you, so you’d better put away your tricks and stop bothering me.”

Jiang Sui just felt that it was definitely not a good thing to meet her suddenly today.

Jiang Qiaoqiao’s face looked very ugly, so she simply stopped pretending and said bluntly.

“You can ask me to stop bothering you, but if you tell me how to make that noodle, I will never bother you again. But if you don’t know what’s good for you, I will bother you every day and make your life miserable.”

She was very confident and even threatened Jiang Sui, who almost laughed out of anger.

She leaned closer to Jiang Qiaoqiao and took a closer look. It seemed like she was looking at something strange. Jiang Qiaoqiao covered her face and looked back.

“What are you doing? What are you looking at?”

“I want to see how thick-skinned you are. You actually dare to make such a ridiculous request. I have never seen someone as shameless as you. Does your Mr. Zhang know about this?”

“Don’t even think about this. I don’t know and I can’t tell you. If you want to make a scene, go ahead. I’m not the one who will be embarrassed. It’s better if you make a scene on the street and let the people of Baima Town see how thick your face is. It should be no worse than that of the city wall. Get out of the way!”

Jiang Sui held the wooden basin and bumped into her with her shoulder. Jiang Qiaoqiao staggered and picked up a small stone to hit Jiang Sui on the back.

Jiang Sui was hit on the back by her, and she had had enough, so she put the basin on the ground, picked up a few stones with one hand, and threw them at Jiang Qiaoqiao.

Jiang Qiaoqiao saw something was wrong and took a few steps back.

“I’m telling you, don’t mess around. If you hurt me, I won’t let you go.”

It certainly couldn’t hurt her, Jiang Sui wasn’t stupid, she knew the extent and only hit her body.

After throwing several stones, Jiang Qiaoqiao was so scared that she covered her head and ran away.

So stupid, she didn’t even know how to fight back, and she still wanted to get something from her.

Watching her run away, Jiang Sui smiled happily, patted the dirt off her hands, and continued to wash clothes.

‘I don’t know what’s going on between Jiang Qiaoqiao and that scholar. The book doesn’t mention her much, but with her status, I guess she won’t have a good life in the future.’

She and Chen Jinhua are both those kinds of power-hungry people who don’t want to work hard and always want to take advantage of others and get something for nothing.

Jiang Qiaoqiao returned home angrily, and Chen Jinhua knew at a glance that her daughter had not accomplished her task and was still mad at her.

For a moment, she looked at her with a sense of disappointment, knowing that she could not count on her to get things, so she had to find another way.

But Jiang Sui is a very smart girl, and it might be hard to pry her mouth open easily.
