Chapter 105: Digging a Hole
Ying Sisi was carrying the soy sauce back home.
She could see a group of neighbors gathered together, looking at her from afar. The look in their eyes made her uncomfortable.
“Qin's new daughter-in-law is really pretty. Look at her face and figure. Even in all of East City, she could be ranked among the best. Yanci is really lucky.”
“What luck? I heard that Yanci is going to take the college entrance exam. How can he have time to study now?”
“That's true. If it were my husband, he'd be reluctant to get out of bed for his whole life.”
“Haha…”
A group of women laughed.
Ying Sisi greeted them as she walked by. “Good evening, aunties.”
“Oh, good evening.”
“Are you already doing housework after just getting married? Don't you have two aunties in your house?”
“I'm just buying soy sauce. I haven't cooked yet. The aunties in the house are specially taking care of the children.” Sisi replied softly. “I'm going now.”
“Okay.”
When Ying Sisi got back home, Qin Yanci came out of the main room. “Wife.”
She broke into a cold sweat. It's fine if he calls me wife in private, but he's doing it with people at home too. Isn't he embarrassed? “Aren't you resting?”
“I woke up.”
Mother Qin was originally planning to lecture Sisi, but when Qin Yanci came with her, she couldn't say anything. She said awkwardly, “How much did you buy the soy sauce for? I'll reimburse you later.”
Qin Yanci said, “Is it necessary to be so meticulous?”
Mother Qin's momentum immediately weakened by half. “That's not what I meant. You two don't have jobs. You'll need money to live. I was just thinking that if we can save you some money, we should.”
Qin Yanci didn't say anything.
Ying Sisi cleverly shifted the topic to resolve the awkwardness. “Mom, are you going to cook the vegetables, or should I?”
“I'll cook them. I know the family's taste buds. You don't need to do anything here. Go back to your room and rest.”
Qin Yanci pulled Sisi to leave.
Sisi pulled her hand back and pushed him out of the door. “Mom and I will take care of this. You go do your thing.”
“Okay, call me if you need anything.” Qin Yanci glanced at mother Qin before leaving.
Mother Qin's heart was bitter. He is warning me not to bully his wife.
And I dare not disobey him.
What is going on?
Ying Sisi helped clean the cutting board, organize the dishes, and clean the kitchen.
Mother Qin's mind started to work. “Sisi, who cooks at your house?”
“Me! Mainly because I don't have a job and everyone else is busy.” Sisi told the truth.
Mother Qin pondered. “I have found someone to arrange a job for you in the textile factory. Would you like it?”
My son has gotten married and forgotten about his mother. This won't do.
I have to do everything I can to keep them apart.
First, to prevent my daughter-in-law from affecting my son's review.
Second, to reduce the amount of time they spend together.
Relationships need to be nurtured through mutual effort.
They don't have time to cultivate it. They're becoming indifferent.
Later on, I'll be able to control my daughter-in-law. My son won't go against my face.
Ying Sisi's heart fluttered. She's arranging a job for me? That's so nice. She suppressed her joy and said calmly, “I don't know many characters. Will they hire me?”
“Forget it.” Mother Qin said to herself. “You just got married. If I assign you out, Yanci will have something to say again.”
Sisi was about to assure her that she would handle Qin Yanci. Then she realized something was wrong. If mother Qin really wanted to arrange a job for her, why wait until today?
Is it because of what Qin Yanci said just now? My mother-in-law thinks I'm confusing him, so she's found something for me to do, so that I have to be out early and come home late and avoid too much contact with Qin Yanci?
I hope I'm overthinking.
Let's ask Qin Yanci what he thinks about the job thing.
We're a married couple. We need to talk things over together. What if he's unhappy and gets mad?
Thinking about this, she closed her mouth.
