~Between the Pages and the Coffee Pot: Translated Novels~

  Chapter 137: Clingy     In the evening, Qin Yanci finished his classes.   Ying Sisi told him about Li Yuwei's injury and that she was going back to her parents' house to help.   Qin Yanci said directly, “That's like being a maid. You're not allowed to go!”   Ying Sisi bit her lip. “I already promised.”   “Are you stupid?”   Ying Sisi lowered her head.   Qin Yanci said, “My teacher gave me two days off before the competition. I'll accompany you tomorrow and the day after. Let's see how that family dares to boss my wife around.”   Ying Sisi looked up. “Don't you need to review before the competition?”   “A little relaxation is good for performance.”   Ying Sisi was happy. With him by her side, she felt very secure. “Okay.”   ……   The next day.   Ying Sisi and Qin Yanci went back to her parents' house together.   Song Hanmei had put a pile of clothes in the bathroom, preparing to make Sisi wash them. She s...

  Chapter 136: Familiar     As they walked home after visiting the ancient city, they passed by a cinema. They went inside and watched a movie.   When they came out of the cinema.   “Qin Yanci!” A clear voice came from behind.   Qin Yanci and Ying Sisi both turned their heads in the direction of the voice.   The person was wearing a black coat. He was around twenty years old, tall and handsome, with delicate features.   “Shen Zhengrong, hello. Long time no see.”   Shen Zhengrong said cordially, “Long time no see. Did you take a leave of absence and come back, or did you return to the city?”   “Returned to the city.” Qin Yanci couldn't wait to introduce Sisi. “This is my wife, her surname is Ying.”   Shen Zhengrong finally noticed Sisi. His gaze fell on her face. He was startled. She's so beautiful, and she looks familiar. “Sister-in-law, hello.”   Ying Sisi smiled brightly. She said generously, “Hello.”   Shen Zhengrong...

  Chapter 135: Disdain     Li Yuwei was envious. Why didn't my husband's family dress me up like this in my past life?   She forced a smile. “Sister, you're here. Your clothes look really good. Where did you buy them?”   Ying Sisi said, “My mother-in-law sent them.”   Mother Feng didn't believe it. She scoffed. “What mother-in-law has so much free money to send her daughter-in-law clothes? And they fit so well.”   Ying Sisi said, “My mother-in-law, of course. From your tone, you wouldn't send Yuwei clothes, would you? Oh, Yuwei, if you had listened to your dad's advice and picked a husband who was your equal, you would have everything. Why did you pick him? I really don't know what to do with you.”   She looked distressed.   Li Yuwei almost bit her tongue.   In front of everyone, she didn't give Feng Shuangxi any face at all. She also ridiculed his mother.   She's clearly trying to humiliate me!   She's so detestable! ...

  Chapter 134: Not a Small Temper     A mocking smile curled Ying Sisi's lips. Yes, they should have brought him back earlier.   Why didn't they? She had analyzed it.   It was probably because the slogans in the countryside were too loud in the past few years, and father Qin was in a position of leadership. He needed to set an example.   So he didn't bring him back.   Now that he's secure in his position, and Qin Yanci has been there for so long.   Even if he's brought back, no one would have anything to say.   Lu Yuechun glanced at Sisi and changed the subject with a few words. She underestimated Sisi before. “Mom, don't be too sad. Yanci has worked for ten years. That's good for his future work.”   Mother Qin nodded. “Okay. It's getting late. Let's go to bed early.”   Ying Sisi greeted them politely and turned to go to her room.   Lying in bed, she suddenly realized that Qin Yanci hadn't said where he was going for the compe...

  Chapter 37: A Question of Wanting or Not Wanting Why was Fu Jinting treating Kong Yiyue like this?   This question was too profound. Not only could Zhong Ziyang not figure it out, even Xiang Yi couldn't understand it.   Logically speaking, although the two had gone back and forth during high school, they and Fu Jinting had grown up together since they were young, and they could tell that Fu Jinting's heart wasn't as indifferent to Kong Yiyue as he appeared on the surface.   He was such a proud, aloof, and awkward person. It was fortunate that Kong Yiyue had a thick skin and was persistent, or else, if it were any other girl, it would have been very difficult to keep chasing him after constantly hitting a wall with him.   Zhong Ziyang wanted to say to Fu Jinting, "If you continue to treat Kong Yiyue like this, you'll be sad when she doesn't want you anymore!" Unfortunately, that was too outrageous. He couldn't figure out Fu Jinting's current thoug...

  Chapter 133: Face       Qin Yanci was silent for a long time. He nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly. “Okay.”   After dinner, they packed up a few things and returned to the courtyard.   Qin's older brother's children were noisy. They immediately quieted down when they saw Qin Yanci. Some ran to their rooms, and some burrowed into mother Qin's arms.   “Why are you scared of your uncle when he comes back?” Mother Qin was very happy. “Have you eaten?”   Qin Yanci said, “Who doesn't eat at this time? You wouldn't say my wife didn't take good care of me if I didn't eat, would you?”   Mother Qin's smile froze. “That's not what I meant. Your older brother brought back a lot of apples the other day. I'll get some for you.”   “No need. My wife will buy me some.”   The light in mother Qin's eyes dimmed. Your wife buys you some? Didn't she use your money? Are you stupid? All you do is talk about your wife, wife, wife. You have no one el...

  Chapter 132: Rest Assured 2/2     Ying Sisi grinned. The vendor picked out a crucian carp that weighed more than three pounds and charged her two yuan.   She carried the fish and the change. She was about to leave.   She didn't notice that an old man had been watching her pay. He walked towards her. “Girl, are you collecting copper coins? One is only one cent.”   The fishmonger said, “You can't buy anything with copper coins. Why are you asking for one cent? One cent can buy a bowl of soy sauce and a bowl of vinegar. That's enough for the whole family to eat for two or three months.”   “I'm asking the girl. I'm not asking you. Girl, take a look. They're all old items. If you collect them, they'll be worth money later.”   “If they're worth money, why aren't you collecting them?” The fishmonger couldn't help but retort. “You think the girl is young and easy to fool, right?”   The old man's face turned beet red. “Mind your own business, yo...
