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

  Chapter 122: Even     Li Yuwei was in pain all over. “Wuwuwu…why didn't you say that he would hit people anyway?”   “Why wouldn't he hit me?”   “Would you dare to say that if he hit you?” Li Yuwei cried uncontrollably.   “He hasn't hit me before, what am I supposed to say?  You go.  I'll walk you out.”  Sisi went into the kitchen and turned off the vent on the stove.   Li Yuwei didn't dare to stay long. She put on her coat and limped out with Sisi.   When they got to the security gate.   Ying Sisi was about to go back. Li Yuwei said pitifully, “Aren't you going to see me off?”   Ying Sisi said, “Seeing you off to here is enough. Give me your pass.  Otherwise, I'll tell my mother-in-law that Qin Yanci hit you. She loves her son the most.  She'll blame you, regardless of whether or not it was your fault. She'll go and find your dad, and then it'll become a big deal.”   Li Yuwei dared not hide it anymore....

  Chapter 42: Return Gift     Chen Fan propped himself up with the dog-beating stick in his right hand and waved his left hand. "Hey, is this Team 5 of Lujiawan?"   The big yellow dog in the front was about to issue a warning when it heard the greeting. Instantly, its eyes went wide, and it instinctively "wooed" twice.   Chen Fan smiled happily. "It really is here. Luckily, I didn't go the wrong way. Can you help me call someone over, or you can take me there."   The big yellow dog tilted its head twice and suddenly turned to a certain position to his left. The dogs behind him were still staring at him intently, as if he had a flower on his face.   Chen Fan followed the big yellow dog's gaze and saw more than a dozen men standing in a row in the ditch not far away, with only their heads exposed, all staring at him intently.   Their expressions were like they were looking at a mental patient.   They had been working when they suddenly heard a ...

  Chapter 41: Dog-Beating Stick     After boiling water, washing his face, and wiping his body, much of the alcohol had dissipated.   It was just a pity that he was still wearing that set of pajamas, with a cotton-padded coat wrapped around him. He didn't know when the new clothes Captain Yang had promised would materialize. Until then, he could only keep wearing this outfit.   Everything else was fine, but not changing his underwear for a day always made him feel unclean and uncomfortable everywhere.   But there was nothing he could do but wait.   After a simple tidying up, Chen Fan prepared to go out.   Jiang Lili came over. "Don't you want to rest for a while?"   Chen Fan shook his head and smiled. "I went to bed early last night, and I'm not sleepy at all now. I might as well go early and come back early."   He didn't dare to light the kerosene lamp anymore. He had to wash up and go to bed before dark. Otherwise, after dark, if it wa...

  Chapter 121: Soothing     Qin Yanci sat in Sisi's seat, next to Li Yuwei.   Li Yuwei's heart skipped a beat. “You…what are you trying to do?”   Qin Yanci didn't say anything, his gaze fixed on her.   Li Yuwei pursed her lips. “What are you looking at?! I know, I'm prettier than my sister, but you can't…”   Qin Yanci scoffed. Who gave her that confidence? If I had that confidence, it would be great. “Didn't anyone tell you that you're a bit…uneven?”   This was the first time Li Yuwei had been described as uneven. She was furious. “You…you have no taste, you don't understand beauty.”   Qin Yanci smiled slightly. A hint of danger flashed in his eyes. “I do not understand beauty, but I understand ugliness.”   Li Yuwei went ballistic. “You! You! Do you believe me if I tell my sister that you have two personalities?”   Qin Yanci's pupils constricted, and his fist clenched.   Besides my father, no one knows about this.   E...

  Chapter 120: Subdue       Ying Sisi was preparing to make egg noodles.   She took out a porcelain basin and scooped some flour. Li Yuwei didn't say anything.   When she cracked five eggs, Li Yuwei spoke up. “You two eat five eggs for one meal?”   Ying Sisi said, “Is that wrong?  It's not like it's from your family. Now, I can eat whatever I want, as much as I want.  No one can say anything to me.”   Song Hanmei counts the eggs at home every day.   The first time she met Qin Yanci, the egg she put in his bowl was one that she had secretly hidden from a few days ago when she made egg drop soup.   She had been thinking of replenishing her own body.   Who would have thought that they would arrange for her to pick up Qin Yanci, she had been conflicted for a long time before giving him the egg.   Li Yuwei secretly regretted it. It's still months away from Feng Shuangxi getting rich. If I marry him now, I won't be able to ...

  Chapter 40: Friend     As soon as Chen Fan finished speaking, Jiang Lili's blood rushed to her head, and her face turned red. Even her earlobes were red, and fine sweat was beginning to appear on her forehead.   Seeing her like this, Chen Fan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.   Bad.   After drinking two liang of wine, he hadn't watched his mouth and hadn't paid attention to what he was saying.   Jiang Lili was already living cautiously here. Regardless of whether she knew those situations or not, there were some things she couldn't say.   His casual joke was nothing, but hearing it, she would only think of the worst possible scenario.   Thinking of this, Chen Fan quickly said, "Well, I was just joking. You're not angry, are you?"   Jiang Lili walked forward with her head down, not saying a word.   Chen Fan raised his hand, but he didn't dare to reach out and pull her. At this time, most of his alcohol had worn off. Thinking of this...

  Chapter 39: Trust Needs Strengthening     After chatting about old times, they chatted about current affairs.   Master Zhu lifted his clothes and wiped his sweat, his double chin quivering.   This made Chen Fan suddenly think of a saying, "A flower in the department store, a double chin in the food station." So that's what it meant?!   The fat-headed, big-eared Master Zhu turned to look at Captain Yang and said with a smile, "There shouldn't be any substandard pigs in the team this year, right?"   "Mmm, mmm."   Captain Yang swallowed the food in his mouth, nodding and smiling. "The standard of 120 jin is still relatively easy to meet."   Master Zhu grinned. "Easy to meet? Do you know where that standard came from?"   Captain Yang's expression froze, staring at him intently. "Where did it come from?"   This question really hit him. As the production team leader, the qualified pig rate was also an important indicat...
