Chapter 51: Don't Ask Me, It Won't Work
Ying Sisi had overheard the mother and daughter's entire conversation. She felt happy about Song Hanmei's current state and said whatever came to mind. “Why don't you ask your dad to accompany you? Why does it concern me if your mom faints?”
Besides, didn't your mother faint because you pissed her off?
You're a high school student with a stable job.
There are so many talented young men out there.
Why did you pick a sleazy creep?
Which decent young man would do that to a girl before they were married?
Even if he's successful in the future, it won't change the fact that he is immoral.
Her A-Ci was so much better. He didn't act up even after they got their marriage certificate.
Is he coming to our house today for New Year's greetings?
“Sister…” Li Yuwei's voice was choked with tears. “Please. I promise I won't bother you anymore.”
Sisi's attitude was firm. “Don't ask me, it won't work.”
Li Yuwei had no choice but to go back and stay by Song Hanmei's side. She kept muttering, “Mom, Feng Shuangxi is really someone you can trust. He's ambitious. He knows how to love his wife. I'll enjoy a lifetime of happiness if I marry him. Just agree.”
Song Hanmei woke up in a huff. “Ambitious? He's twenty-something. He hasn't even earned a decent house.”
“We can live in the large courtyard first. He'll buy me a big house in the future, a house you have never seen in your life.” Li Yuwei's tone was certain.
Song Hanmei: “… You're going to make me die of anger.”
"…"
Over there, the mother and daughter were shrouded in gloom. Over here, Sisi felt carefree.
She didn't see Qin Yanci, but she wasn't particularly anxious.
She got up early the next day and went to the black market. She was going to find a stable business to do.
Because she hadn't heard back about the stamps, she couldn't wait and decided to use the red envelopes her elders gave her.
She had spent ten yuan buying the shoe soles the other day, so she only had a little more than two yuan left.
She had to make up for that money.
She was thinking about this when she arrived.
She thought there wouldn't be many people at the black market during the New Year.
Unexpectedly, it was even busier than before.
There was food, there were toys,
There was a wide variety of goods.
Oil cakes, sesame balls, small sesame twists, rice cakes, sesame candies, candy apples, hawthorn paste…
Stewed pig's feet, pork head, pig ears…
Sisi sampled all the things she had wanted to eat but couldn't afford when she was a child.
As she was leaving, she caught a glimpse of something and stopped in her tracks.
She saw Qin Yanci standing by the book stall.
He was wearing silver-rimmed glasses, a camel-colored turtleneck sweater, and a black overcoat. He was tall and handsome, and he was very eye-catching.
“A-Ci~” Sisi waved at him and walked over to him, smiling. “What book are you picking out?”
The young man lowered his eyes. The girl had an oval face, white skin. She had fine, light down on her face that you could see in the sun. Her eyes were bright when she smiled, and the corners of her mouth curved into a perfect arc.
Her voice was soft and sweet.
The girl the hot-tempered man knew?
“You're working so hard. You have to come buy books and read them on New Year's Day. Are you coming to my house today? Never mind. Studying is more important.” Ying Sisi talked to herself, meeting his gaze, and she thought he looked quite good with glasses. “It's not good for you to study like this. You're going to be nearsighted. You…”
“The patrol team is coming!”
Someone shouted from outside.
The crowd immediately started to stir.
The two of them were separated.
When Sisi got to a safe place, she tried to find Qin Yanci again, but he was gone.
He didn't find me. Did he leave?
Sisi was very worried. She tried to find out where the patrol team took people, and she was told that no one named Qin Yanci had been apprehended.
She went to the family housing complex to look for him.
As she got off the tram, she saw mother Qin come out of the security gate.
She thought, He's back?
She worried for so long, and he's calmly gone back home?
What kind of person is he?
She turned around in anger and left.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became.
We haven't even gotten married, and he's already acting uncaring. What is he going to be like after we do get married?
