Chapter 99: Secretly Smiling
Ying Sisi smiled shyly. “You're flattering me. I'm afraid I'll get cold.”
Qin Yanci took out a scarf and draped it over her shoulders. “Wrap this around yourself on the way to block the wind.”
Sisi nodded.
Qin Yanci then took out a pair of bracelets and put them on her wrists. “Wear them.”
Sisi said, “You even prepared jewelry for me? The patterns are so delicate. What are they made of?” It looked like gold, but it wasn't.
The gold in the department store counters was brighter than this.
“Gold. What? Do you think it's old?” His face turned cold again.
“No, no, no. I'm just curious about the material. I like it. I can't wait to wear it.” Sisi hurriedly explained. She knew she was lacking in knowledge and didn't know much, but she could appreciate good things. The bracelets were old, but the patterns carved on them were very fine.
They might have faded with age.
Was it a family heirloom?
She added, “I'll wear them every day.”
Qin Yanci was finally satisfied. “Hmm.”
“I'll start making clothes.” Sisi sat down at the sewing machine and got to work.
She stretched when she finished.
She looked up and met Qin Yanci's eyes.
He calmly looked away. “Done?”
“Yeah. I should go too.” Sisi changed into her new cotton coat and pants, said goodbye to Qin Yanci, took her wedding outfit and shoes, and left.
She felt the wind couldn't penetrate the new cotton coat and pants.
She was finally relieved. She packed them up and sent them back to her hometown.
She went back to the Li family's house.
Li Junlu and Song Hanmei had already gotten off work. They argued every other sentence about Li Yuwei's situation.
Song Hanmei's idea was to have Feng Shuangxi move in.
Li Junlu disagreed. “I would rather have a bum move in than a rogue.”
Ying Sisi agreed.
Rogues have no bottom line. You can't get involved with them.
Song Hanmei cleared her throat. “Yuwei insists on being with him. What do you think we should do?”
“Let her marry him. I've said it before, if she marries Feng Shuangxi, she doesn't get any dowry.”
“You're willing to give it to Sisi, but you're not willing to give it to Yuwei?”
“Neither of them are getting anything. Are you satisfied?!” Li Junlu roared.
Song Hanmei didn't say anything.
What she wanted was for Ying Sisi to have nothing. At that moment, she turned her head, as if she had just noticed Sisi. “Oh, when did you start listening?”
Li Junlu turned around. The girl's innocent and forlorn expression made him feel guilty. He walked over and tried to comfort her. “Sisi…”
Ying Sisi said nothing. She went into her room and shut the door.
The door panel almost hit him in the nose.
Li Junlu touched his nose and stepped back. “Sisi, I was just talking. I'll pick out a dowry for you after we're done with these things.”
“Don't make promises anymore. I don't believe you anymore. Wuu wuu… My life is so hard. Why didn't my mom take me with her when she left?”
Li Junlu felt guilty and angrily slapped the person who had caused this.
There was a loud slap.
Song Hanmei's face was twisted to the side. She yelled hysterically. “Li Junlu! How dare you hit me. I'll fight you!”
“You spendthrift. Who is afraid of you?!”
Sisi listened to the loud noises in her ears and smiled secretly.
Go ahead and hit each other.
Hit each other to death.
Humph!
In the following few days, Li Junlu and Song Hanmei were in a cold war.
It wasn't until the day of Ying Sisi's wedding that relatives came to the house and their relationship eased.
Li Yuwei was finally allowed to go out. She dressed up and went to Sisi's room.
Sisi had already changed clothes, put on makeup, and her hair was tied with a red ribbon, braided into a diagonal braid that hung over her right chest.
Her eyebrows were curved and she was bright and beautiful.
There were many neighbors around, adults and children alike.
