Chapter 113

Heh, I bet the Xia family will know soon. The person who lent him the money only gave him ten days. If he can’t pay it back, he’ll definitely have his hands and feet broken.

Running away is impossible. They know everything about his family. Since they’re in that business, they’ll never let you take advantage of them. If they don’t skin you alive, it’s already good.

Xia Guohua was also anxious. He didn’t expect his luck to be so bad. He had been gambling for so long and hadn’t won once. If he had stopped when he first won, it would have been so much better.

He had won a few dozen yuan at the beginning. He thought about how long it would take him to earn that much money. Now, not only had he lost those few dozen yuan, he had also borrowed 200 yuan from the gambling house.

If his father knew, he would definitely break his legs. Unfortunately, he was only afraid now, it was probably too late.

Xia Yunxuan, of course, didn’t know about these things. Even if she did, she would just clap her hands and cheer. Maybe she would even bring a chair, pour some tea, and sit there to watch the show. As for her enemies, of course, the longer they suffer, the better. Those two weren’t good people either.

After a morning, Xia Yunxuan finally finished translating a book. It wasn’t easy. She quickly twisted her neck and stretched her waist. She didn’t want to be hunched over at a young age, it would affect her beauty.

She used to be a young lady from a wealthy family. No matter what occasion she was at, she was always dressed up exquisitely, with fair skin, beautiful features, long legs, money, and looks.

Now, in this 1970s, where she couldn’t eat enough or wear warm clothes, and she had to worry about where her next meal was coming from, she felt wronged. If she had any physical defects, she might as well hang herself with a noodle.

She didn’t want to cook today. She had stocked up on so many cooked dishes, she could just take out a few dishes. She was happy to have a break. Cooking every day, although she didn’t have to wash dishes, was still tiring.

Yuanbao and Chenbao were already impatient for their milk. Xia Yunxuan had no choice but to pour a large basin of milk for the two wolves to drink. These two wolves seemed to be growing fast, they looked different every few days.

The two wolves looked like Duanyu, just smaller versions of him. They were also very cunning, they knew to stick to Xiao Yichen, but not Gu Beihui. Gu Beihui joked that he was an outsider, even the two dogs disliked him.

When he said that, Xiao Yichen gave him a look of contempt. He couldn’t even tell that they were wolves, he actually called them dogs. This childhood friend was really stupid.

It was good that Second Brother had him to watch over him, otherwise, one day he might be sold and wouldn’t even know how much he was sold for.

After the work bell rang, Xia Yunxuan took the food out of her space. It was good to have a cheat device, she could be lazy. She didn’t even bother to cover it up, it was too much trouble.

Yichen must have guessed something, as for Gu Beihui, he didn’t know. Because Second Brother was really stupid.

When they came back, they saw a red watermelon on the table. Gu Beihui grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation, “Wow, this watermelon is so cool and sweet, it’s really delicious.”

Gu Beihui: “Sister-in-law, where did you buy such a good watermelon? Why have I never seen it before? Do the sellers pick and choose who they sell to?”

Xiao Yichen put his hand on Gu Beihui’s shoulder and said, “Second Brother, you’ve forgotten again, don’t ask what you shouldn’t. You can’t even shut your mouth with food, why can’t you remember?”

“Heh, I was just excited and forgot for a moment. Don’t do it again, Sister-in-law, don’t mind me, just pretend I farted.”

Xia Yunxuan: “Second Brother, I don’t mind, but don’t tell anyone else about anything you see here. I trust you, don’t let me down. Otherwise, I’ll poison you.”

Gu Beihui, so close, so close. It was good that he didn’t talk much, otherwise, he might be harmed by his sister-in-law one day, he didn’t even know. It was true that he and the boss were both very cruel.

Poor him, weak and helpless, he was so miserable.

Xiao Yichen really couldn’t stand it anymore, he kicked him and said, “Eat quickly, what are you acting for? You don’t even have any acting skills. It’s really painful to watch.”

Gu Beihui dodged as soon as Xiao Yichen raised his foot. He knew that the boss’s favorite move was to kick him.

Xia Yunxuan didn’t bother with these two, they would be itchy if they didn’t bicker for a day. Wasn’t the food delicious?

“Huh, Sister-in-law, how did you make this cold noodle? Why is it different from the one I ate before? It tastes so good.”

Xia Yunxuan: “This is my secret recipe, it’s definitely delicious. The one you ate outside is not authentic, it must taste a bit worse.”

Xiao Yichen: “Xuanxuan, our new house will probably be finished in a couple of days. We’re going to get married soon, tell me what furniture you want to buy, I’ll go buy it according to your preferences.”

“We’ll let it air out for a few days, buy the furniture, and then we can move in. Xuanxuan, this is our new home, are you excited?”

Xia Yunxuan said, “Yichen, this is a newly built house, yours is also a new house. If I move to yours, wouldn’t this place be empty? Do you think someone will have their eye on this house?”

Xiao Yichen: “Xuanxuan, don’t worry about that. We built this house with our own money, it’s our business whether we live here or not. Anyone who dares to have their eye on this house, I’ll break their legs.”

“Even if someone from above comes to check, I’m not afraid. Besides, these little things, the leaders above won’t care at all.”

Xia Yunxuan: “Captain said that there will be more educated youths coming tomorrow. I’m afraid they’ll all be little princesses who like to pick fights. That will make Captain’s job difficult.”

Xiao Yichen: “Xuanxuan, don’t worry about that, I’m here. If anyone wants to live here, they can either pay to buy it or pay to rent it. They don’t even have to think about living here for free. Who do they think they are? Everyone will spoil them? There’s no such good thing in the world.”

Gu Beihui: “Sister-in-law, Boss is right. I know you’re afraid of making Captain’s job difficult. We don’t have to worry about that for now. Just leave it there, it’s our own thing, are we afraid of others talking?”

“Boss, Sister-in-law, let’s not talk about this for now. Who are you going to invite to the wedding banquet? How many dishes should we prepare?”

“We have to prepare all these things. Also, we have to borrow some tables, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks from the villagers, otherwise, we won’t have enough.”

Xia Yunxuan: “I don’t have anyone I want to invite specifically, it depends on who you want to invite. I’ll prepare the dishes for the wedding banquet. Yichen, how about fourteen dishes? Do you want to add one or two more?”

Xiao Yichen: “Xuanxuan, that’s enough, we can’t add more. Fourteen dishes is already too high-profile. The villagers only have five or six dishes at their wedding banquets, and they’re all vegetarian dishes. We can’t be too flashy.”
