Chapter 85: A True Gentleman
Song Hanmei wouldn't dare to go. What if they found out it was her? She changed the subject. “What time did you come back?”
“I didn't pay attention to the time. Everyone was already asleep when I came back. If you have nothing else, please move aside. I don't want to hit your nose when I close the door.” Sisi put her hand on the door and made a motion to slam it shut.
Song Hanmei instinctively stepped back.
Sisi closed the door smoothly and latched it.
“This little brat! She's so rude.” Song Hanmei spat.
Li Yuwei stepped closer. “Mom, did you see it?”
“See what? Are you making excuses to stop me from finding Qin Yanci?”
“Believe it or not.” Li Yuwei was tired from all her effort. She went back to her room to rest. When she woke up, she remembered that she had promised to deliver food to Feng Shuangxi. She immediately got up, went to the kitchen, and washed her hands to cook.
Sisi also got up. She was thirsty and went to the kitchen to get some water.
She saw Li Yuwei grabbing rice and squeezing it into balls. She coated them with sesame seeds and put them in a lunch box.
The more she looked, the more they looked like dung balls pushed by a dung beetle.
She couldn't help but laugh.
She knew it was wrong to laugh at others, but she couldn't help herself.
“Hahaha!”
Li Yuwei's face changed. She glared at her. “What are you laughing at?”
“Nothing.” Sisi closed her mouth.
Li Yuwei sneered. “Never seen it, huh? It's called a rice ball. It's topped with sesame seeds. It's delicious. You're probably so country you've never even eaten white rice.”
Sisi admitted. “I haven't seen it or eaten it before. Life in the countryside is hard. The only things we could afford to eat were brown rice and corn gruel.”
Li Yuwei laughed. “The hardships behind the scenes are easy to overcome. It's the dignity in front of the world that is the most fragile. You don't have a job, and you don't have any education. When you marry into Qin's family and associate with people in their circle, your lack of knowledge will be exposed. They'll laugh you to death. That's when life will be hard. Hardships you can't even speak of. But you don't have to worry. Because Qin Yanci is also a loser. They'll laugh at him harder than you.”
She wanted to tell Sisi that even if you marry into Qin's family, you won't have a good life.
Sisi could tolerate Li Yuwei's scorn for her, but she couldn't stand her evaluation of Qin Yanci. “How do you know? You're talking as if you've experienced it. You're arrogant. I'd say that you're a loser, and Feng Shuangxi is even more of a loser.”
It's their business if others laugh at her. Why should she be bothered by what others say?
She knows best whether her A-Ci is a loser or not.
He has ambition and aspirations.
He's humble and cautious. He has high moral character.
He's a true gentleman.
Li Yuwei retorted. “Qin Yanci is a real loser. Feng Shuangxi is not. He's steady and capable. He's the kind of man who can achieve great things.”
Sisi chuckled. She knew she should have learned how to make people become a loser, so that Feng Shuangxi would have been a loser the day she caught him. “The donkey kicked you in the head when you weren't looking. Feng Shuangxi is steady? Hmm, he is steady. He's steady sinking to the bottom. You two are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Birds of a feather flock together. You two are a perfect match for each other. Birds of a feather flock together.” She didn't give Li Yuwei a chance to speak and turned to leave.
Li Yuwei said, “You! You wait for me!”

Ying Sisi went out for a walk.
As she walked, she came to the black market that was closed.
There weren't many people in the market. They were mostly selling everyday items.
Sisi walked around and bought two pairs of rubber gloves.
She planned to wear them when she did chores in the future.
Finally, she stopped in front of the man selling mats.
“Miss, are you buying a mat?”
Sisi spoke softly and politely. “I wanted to ask you, sir. How much is the bicycle next to you?” As she spoke, she took out a pack of cigarettes and handed them to the man.
