Chapter 21: I Don’t Even Know I Look Like That

Under Su Luyun’s threat of “If you don’t pay me back, I’ll go find Li Wenchuan.” Zhao Yuzhu had no choice but to grit her teeth and return the one hundred yuan she had painstakingly saved!

It pained her terribly, because she had managed to save that money with great difficulty!

And now, it turned out she had been saving it for Su Luyun!

Su Luyun counted the money—exactly ten large bills—and looked at Zhao Yuzhu’s face, which was twisted in anger yet forced to maintain a dignified expression. She smiled and said: “Yuzhu, you’re not mad, are you? I had no other choice. Times have changed. With how things are with Changdong now, and since I already gave all my money to my mother-in-law, there’s barely anything left in my hands. I could only ask you.”

Zhao Yuzhu’s face turned green. She forced a smile and said: “It’s nothing. After all, I borrowed it from you, and it’s only right that I return it.”

“I like hearing that. No wonder we get along so well.” Su Luyun said.

Zhao Yuzhu cursed in her heart. Who wants to get along with you!

It was just that Su Luyun was dumb and easy to manipulate, so she could get a lot of benefits out of her. Otherwise, with her bad temper that demanded pampering and coaxing, who would want to hang around her?

Still distressed over the hundred yuan, Zhao Yuzhu changed the subject to start criticizing: “Cousin, just look at how things are with you now. What kind of life are you living? You used to throw money around like it was nothing, and now you’re asking me for just a hundred yuan. What are you going to do in the future? You spend money so recklessly—even a hundred yuan won’t last you long. Giving your mother-in-law three thousand yuan was really too impulsive.”

“It was a bit impulsive.” Su Luyun admitted. “That was three thousand yuan—one-third of a ten-thousand-yuan household! Just thinking about it hurts. Why don’t you go help me get it back?”

Zhao Yuzhu choked: “You’re the one who should go get it. As your younger cousin, how do I have the standing to help you ask for money?”

But in her heart, she was sneering. Typical! Pretending to be rich when you’re not!

If He Yuling hadn’t brought up that three thousand yuan, Su Luyun probably wouldn’t have given it to her mother-in-law at all!

It was only because it was mentioned and she couldn’t keep up the act any longer that she forced herself, swallowing her pain, to hand over the money to her mother-in-law as a show of sincerity!

“It’s not the right time anyway. I just gave the money to my mother-in-law. The neighbors are all praising me right now. If I turn around and ask for it back, what will people think of me? Wouldn’t all the things I did before be in vain?” As she spoke, Su Luyun cracked two eggs into a bowl and stirred them into the porridge she had just cooked.

That was Zhuque Soup.

Very nourishing—perfect for feeding Zhou Changdong.

“But I’m not in a rush. Now that you’ve returned the hundred yuan to me, even if I spend freely, it should be enough for now. And even if it’s not, don’t I still have you, my dear cousin? I’ll just borrow from you again when I need it. No big deal.” Su Luyun smiled.

Zhao Yuzhu’s eyes widened!

She never expected Su Luyun to set her sights on her!

But thinking about it, this was so typically Su Luyun!

That’s exactly the kind of person she was!

“If I had more, you wouldn’t even need to say anything, but Wenchuan hasn’t handed over any money to me. The hundred yuan I gave you was already all I managed to save with great difficulty!” Zhao Yuzhu gritted her teeth inwardly.

Su Luyun replied offhandedly: “You two haven’t been living on your own for long, and you already saved up a hundred yuan? That shows Wenchuan treats you well. Anyway, just help me save a bit more. I’ll come to you when I need it.”

Help her save more?

How could she say something like that so naturally?

Zhao Yuzhu didn’t want to stay even a moment longer. “It’s getting late. I need to go home and cook for the child!”

With that, she practically fled.

Su Luyun glanced at her panicked and retreating figure, her eyes filled with contempt.

You think you can play with me? You’re not even qualified.

After closing the door, Su Luyun carried the Zhuque Soup into the room. It was still a bit hot, so she left it to cool and began talking to Zhou Changdong while he expelled dark phlegm:

“My cousin has always been petty ever since we were little. Whenever she saw me have something nice, she wanted it too. But she never asked openly—instead, she always tried to use little tricks and schemes, thinking she was so smart and that everyone else was dumb. In reality, it’s just that I couldn’t be bothered to stoop to her level!”

“But now, I’m not willing to put up with it anymore. Ever since your accident, she’s been hinting, both in and out of words, that I should divorce you. Today she was even more outrageous—she actually wanted me to fight for your property!”

“You’re already in this state. If I were still thinking about your money, what kind of person would that make me?”

“Sure, I’m not perfect, but I still have principles!”

“I told her to stop, and she just kept talking. I was so mad I took back the hundred yuan I lent her earlier—made that petty woman so furious her face turned completely black!”

“You should’ve seen the expression on her face!”

“……”

While stirring the Zhuque Soup to cool it down, Su Luyun chatted with Zhou Changdong about what had happened in the kitchen.

At that time, the courtyard wasn’t soundproof at all, and since the kitchen wasn’t far and they hadn’t bothered lowering their voices, Zhou Changdong, who had excellent hearing, could vaguely catch parts of their conversation.

Now, hearing his wife badmouthing her cousin behind her back, Zhou Changdong had only one thought:

【Why is my wife just so adorable.】

Of course, Su Luyun saw that line.

She immediately found it amusing. I’m venting about my cousin’s hypocrisy and fakery to warn you that we’re just plastic sisters, not to make you think I’m here selling cute!

But being lovable was her passive skill. She understood that. ┐(?～?)┌

Soon, Su Luyun noticed another line from Zhou Changdong:

【I can’t hold it anymore】 o(＞﹏＜)o

Su Luyun quickly caught on and immediately grabbed a can of canned fruit. As she did, she said out loud: “Changdong, do you want to pee? You had two bowls of soup at noon, and now another big one. Let me check for you first.”

As she spoke, she began helping Zhou Changdong take off his pants.

As the saying goes, the first time is awkward, but the second time is easier. After what happened that morning, though she still felt shy seeing it now, she was much more accepting.

Blushing slightly, she helped turn Zhou Changdong on his side, propped a pillow behind him to prevent him from falling back, and then placed the can below, holding the indescribable part in position toward the can’s mouth.

She even mimicked the way her sisters-in-law did it and whistled: “Pss pss~”

Zhou Changdong was already overjoyed when he heard his wife say that.

【Wife, are you reading my mind?】

Once the position was set, he was just about to let it flow when he heard his wife making that whistling sound. The man, though urgently needing to go, still felt a bit embarrassed.

【Wife, what are you doing?】

Of course, Su Luyun could hear the shy tone.

She couldn’t let him notice she was directly responding to his words.

Once he finished, she dutifully gave it a few shakes. She hadn’t done this before, but she had heard about it—it was common knowledge that men did this. And it was true: a little shake really did make it cleaner.

She helped him put his pants back on, then carried the warm, freshly filled “returning dragon soup” out to dispose of it.

After washing her hands, she came back. Her face was still warm. Looking at the man lying on the bed, she muttered under her breath: “I’ve been pampered all my life, never had to lift a finger for anything—never served anyone like this, except for you, you bad man!”

【Wife~】

Zhou Changdong, relieved that he hadn’t wet the bed again, was even more touched hearing his wife’s words.

Su Luyun grinned proudly and answered the question he’d asked earlier: “My sister-in-law helps my little nephew pee like this. I figured I’d give it a try—didn’t expect it to work for you too! I’ll just help you pee like this from now on!”

Zhou Changdong was embarrassed:

【I’m not a child, you know】

With a teasing, coquettish tone, the little demon Su said: “But how come yours is… is so big? My little nephew’s is just a tiny chick.”

Zhou Changdong’s face turned hot:

【I don’t know either, it just grew that way.】
