Chapter 123

Xia Yunxuan couldn’t help but burst out laughing.  “My Xiao ge, when did you become so humorous?”

Xiao Yichen said, “Xuanxuan, how about that?  Am I not super handsome?  Did I charm you?”

After saying that, he proudly tossed his head, acting like he was the most important person in the world.  Yes, he would make his little wife happy every day.

After working for a couple of hours, Xia Yunxuan took out her water jug and handed it to Xiao Yichen.  “Yichen, have some water.  You won’t be so tired after drinking.  I’ll go back and cook.  Come back early for dinner.”

Xiao Yichen said, “Okay, Xuanxuan.  Take it easy.  Don’t fall into the field.  You’ll become a mud doll and won’t be pretty anymore.”

“My Xiao ge, why can’t you wish me well?  Do you want me to fall into the field?  Your eagerness to watch the show is too obvious.”

“You should be careful.  If I fall, I’ll definitely drag you down with me,” Xia Yunxuan thought.  “Little guy, I can handle you.  I’ve seen all kinds of people.”

Xia Yunxuan had been gone for a long time, but Xiao Yichen was still staring.  Gu Beihuai waved his hand in front of Xiao Yichen’s face.  “Boss, snap out of it.  Sister-in-law has been gone for a long time.  You’re still staring.  Your eyes are glued to her.”

Xiao Yichen said, “Second brother, I think you’re getting a little cocky.  You’re talking too much.  We’ll practice tonight.  Let me see if your skills have declined.  Your sister-in-law is a Girl, and she’s so strong that she can fight me to a draw.  If you lose, you’ll be very, very, embarrassing.”

Xiao Yichen deliberately emphasized the words “very embarrassing.”

Gu Beihuai thought, “What kind of luck do I have?  I already have a boss who’s cunning and ruthless, and now my sister-in-law is on his side.  I can’t live anymore.  Grandpa, I want to go home.”

Grandpa Gu said, “Humph, useless thing, get lost.  If you’re in front of me, I might even beat you with my cane.  You’re an eyesore.”

Xia Yunxuan went home and didn’t bother cooking.  She had been working and was sweating.  She took a shower and washed her hair.  She dried her hair and would just take out some of the cooked food she had stored for later.

Yes, she put on her skirt and flats.  Xia Xiaoxiao was back.  She was living a good life.  Li Wenxi was miserable.  Her grandmother and mother were scolding her.

The old woman was biased towards sons.  She was hoping her granddaughter would grow up and be sold for a good price.  But she ended up with someone like that, and they only paid 10 yuan in dowry.  It made her furious.  So, while working in the field, the old woman never stopped nagging.

She only stopped when she heard the whistle signaling the end of work.  The old woman thought, “Thankfully, I have several granddaughters.  One is ruined, but the other two can’t be ruined.”

Otherwise, how would she subsidize her youngest son?  If she had a grandson in the future, she would be able to use the money for him.

Granddaughters were money pits.  She kept them only to sell them for a good price.  Otherwise, she would be feeding them for nothing.  What a waste.

While the Li family was discussing their wedding with Chen Zexuan, Xia Yunxuan and the others finished dinner and rode their bicycles to town with bags and packages.

Xiao Yichen was surprised to see how much stuff Xia Yunxuan had prepared.  She hadn’t even gone out.  Where did she buy it?  She must have a lot of secrets.

It was good that they were in the countryside, where no one paid much attention.  If they were in Beijing, they would have been targeted.

They arrived at the post office, and the staff were shocked to see so many packages.  They thought, “Where did these rich people come from?  This is so extravagant.  They’re all good stuff.”

The post office worker immediately asked, “Comrade, are you sending all this?  Where are you sending it?  It’s so much, the postage will be expensive.”

Xiao Yichen said, “Hello, comrade.  We’re sending all this.  It’s going to the Beijing compound.  Postage isn’t a problem.  Just charge us what’s due.”

The post office worker immediately took it seriously when she heard it was going to the Beijing compound.  She knew that people living in the compound were either rich or powerful.  She couldn’t afford to offend them.

She quickly weighed the packages, packed them, and didn’t dare to be careless.  If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t have received such good treatment.

The post office worker weighed the packages and said, “Comrade, the postage is 18.5 yuan.”

Xiao Yichen said, “Comrade, I also need to make a phone call.  I’ll pay for it along with the postage.  This is my number.  Please dial it for me.”

“Okay, comrade.  Please wait.  I’ll dial it right away.”

The post office worker picked up the phone and dialed.  After a few seconds, the call went through.  An elderly voice, deep and strong, came through.  You could tell the person on the other end was no ordinary person.

“Hello, this is the Xiao family compound in Beijing.  Who are you looking for?”

Xiao Yichen said, “Uncle Zhong, it’s me, Yichen.  Long time no see.  How are you?  Is Grandpa home?  Or Grandma?  I need to talk to them.”

Uncle Zhong said, “It’s young master.  Where have you been?  Uncle Zhong hasn’t seen you in a long time.  I miss you.  The old master went out to play chess.  The old lady is home.  I’ll go get her.  Please wait a moment.”

A moment later, the old lady answered the phone.  “My precious grandson, I miss you so much.  You haven’t called in so long.  You’re such a heartless brat.”

“Where’s my granddaughter-in-law?  Is she there?  Can I talk to her for a moment?”

Xiao Yichen said, “Grandma, my dear grandma, I miss you too.  Okay?  Let’s talk business first.  We can talk to my wife later, okay?”

“My precious grandson, what do you have to say?  Hurry up.  I’m waiting to talk to my granddaughter-in-law.  You better have something important to say, or you’ll be in trouble when you come back.  Watch out for my cane.”

Xia Yunxuan couldn’t help but laugh when she heard that.  What would it look like if a 6’2″ guy was chased by his grandma with a cane?

Ugh, the image was too beautiful to imagine.

Xiao Yichen said, “Grandma, your granddaughter-in-law sent good things to everyone in the family.  She labeled everything with your names.  Just take them according to your names.  Except for the clothes, everything else is good stuff.  Don’t show it off.  If someone with bad intentions finds out, your granddaughter-in-law will be in trouble.”

“Grandma, do you understand what I mean?  Keep the good stuff for yourselves.  You’ll know how effective it is once you’ve used it.”

“Your granddaughter prepared all this.  I didn’t even prepare a single thread.  Your granddaughter is amazing, Grandma.  I’ll tell you, your granddaughter-in-law is not only a great cook, but she’s also beautiful and capable.  She’s a perfect match for me.”
