Chapter 20: Are You Making Her Suffer?
Li Yuwei winced in pain and stepped back.
She silently cursed under her breath.
Oh, Mom.
Don't be fooled by Qin Yanci's gift.
He was forced into it by his parents, he had no choice.
He'll turn around and take it back tomorrow.
Besides, when I marry Feng Shuangxi, won't I have all this and more?
Just then, Li Junlu emerged from the room, clutching the red envelope, his face contorted in pain. There were thirty yuan in there!
That was half a month's worth of his salary.
Enough for the whole family's expenses for a month.
All wasted on this deadbeat girl.
He suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, “Aci, I'm entrusting my precious daughter to you. You must take good care of her.” He handed over the red envelope.
Qin Yanci replied solemnly, “Of course I will take good care of her.”
Li Yuwei thought to herself, Are you going to make her suffer?
Qin Yanci sat for a while before taking his leave.
The whole family saw him out.
Qin Yanci's gaze swept over everyone before landing on Ying Sisi: “Dad, I want to have a few words with my wife.”
“Alright.” Li Junlu automatically stepped aside, pulling Song Hanmei along with him.
Song Hanmei then dragged Li Yuwei, sighing sadly, “Yanci looks like the kind of man who would pamper his wife. You, of all people, why would you be so foolish as to give up such a good match for Ying Sisi? And you're even talking to that good-for-nothing Feng Shuangxi, are you out of your mind?”
She had just heard from Old Li about the matter.
She was furious.
Seeing Qin Yanci, who was tall and handsome, she really wanted to pry open her daughter's head and see what was inside.
“Mom, Feng Shuangxi isn't what you think.”
“Don't you dare mention that man! I warn you, stay away from him. He's clearly not a good person.”
“You're being unreasonable!” Li Yuwei stormed out in anger.
Ying Sisi had just seen Qin Yanci off when she saw Li Yuwei rushing out, her head down. The next second, she heard Song Hanmei's scolding: “If you have the guts, don't come back!”
Worried about being implicated, Ying Sisi went back inside.
She took out the red envelope.
It was the one Qin Yanci had just received from Li Junlu. He said that all the red envelopes he received for the wedding would be kept by her.
Perfect.
She could use this money to start a business.
She hid the money, washed up briefly, and went to bed.
She woke up before dawn.
She got up, made breakfast for the whole family, and grabbed two steamed buns before heading to the early market with her bag for window decorations.
She bought a stack of red paper and went straight to the residential area to cut window decorations.
Originally, she planned to prepare for a day and sell for a day.
But she didn't have a bicycle, so it was difficult to transport.
So she decided to prepare for half a day and sell for half a day.
After a morning of hard work, Ying Sisi finally finished. She swept up the scraps of paper in the room and walked to the black market with her bag.
Like last time, she found a spot that wasn't too good, but not too bad, and set up her stall.
Business was good.
She sold a thick stack in a short time.
Just as she was feeling proud of herself.
A familiar voice rang out.
“Wife?!”
Ying Sisi turned her head, her pupils constricted, she gasped and held her breath.
It was Qin Yanci.
How did he get here?
She was wearing a cotton coat today, her face was wrapped up tight, only her eyes were visible. How could he recognize her? “A, Aci,” she stammered.
Qin Yanci walked over, his brows furrowed slightly, he looked at her, then at the stall: “Yours?”
“Uh, yes.” Ying Sisi couldn't deny it.
In this day and age, people looked down on businessmen.
They thought they were profiteers and good-for-nothings.
The Qin family was a prominent family, and their daughter-in-law was actually setting up a stall here.
If word got out, wouldn't they reject her?
She didn't dare look at him, she lowered her head.
Even when customers came to buy things, she ignored them.
It was Qin Yanci who spoke up: “They're asking how much you're selling these for.”
