Chapter 119: Threat
After Father Qin went into the restaurant, Ying Sisi quietly left.
She thought: I might as well go to the suburbs again, since I'm just sitting at home.
She went there and collected a bucket of river mussels. Then she went back to find Old Zhao. She repeated her father-in-law's evaluation of the river mussels from yesterday.
Old Zhao was reluctant to take them. “These are smelly and difficult to process. Not many people eat them. No matter how good you make them, they can't compare to other seafood.”
Ying Sisi said, “Why don't you try putting them on a table? Or you could send them to customers who spend a lot. If the customers specifically order them, you can find me again. I can supply you with one or two hundred pounds. If you don't want them, I'll keep them for myself.”
“Okay.” Old Zhao agreed.
As Ying Sisi was about to leave, he called out to her. “Girl, wait.”
He went back to the kitchen and took out a clay pot the size of a flower pot. “This is the pickled vegetables we make in the back kitchen. I'm giving you a jar. We're returning the favor.”
Ying Sisi readily accepted the jar with thanks.
She returned to the family housing complex.
Ying Sisi put the money away before opening the lid of the clay pot.
It was pickled radish.
She picked up a piece with chopsticks and took a bite. It was spicy and crunchy. Very appetizing.
“Hmm, not bad.”
Ying Sisi put the lid back on and placed it under the stove. She went to the bathroom to take a shower. She rinsed off the fishy smell.
She changed into a new set of clothes and sat in the living room to dry her hair.
Then there was a knock on the door.
Ying Sisi thought it was Mother Qin. She went to open the door.
Li Yuwei's face appeared.
“How did you get in?” Ying Sisi was about to say that she wasn't welcome.
Li Yuwei was not happy. She originally thought that Sisi wouldn't live in the family housing complex. When she went back to work today and was assigned to go shopping on the street, she planned to find Feng Shuangxi. On the way, she met Mother Qin and asked her about Sisi's situation.
She learned that she moved into the family housing complex on their wedding night.
She didn't want to believe it.
To confirm it, she got a pass to enter from Mother Qin.
Now she know that Sisi has been telling the truth all along.
She didn't answer directly. “I just wanted to see you. Is that okay?”
Ying Sisi wanted to say no, but the neighbor came back from work. She greeted Sisi, “Sisi, do you have a relative visiting?”
“Hello, Auntie. Sisi is my sister.” Li Yuwei introduced herself.
“You're her sister? Hello. You don't look much like your sister.”
Li Yuwei smiled. “Not just one person said we don't look alike. Everyone says I'm more stylish.”
The neighbor chuckled. She must be kidding. “You two chat.”
“Okay.”
The neighbor closed the door.
Li Yuwei said, “Sister, aren't you going to invite me in? We're not getting along. If the neighbors find out, it'll become gossip. What if your in-laws ask you about it?”
Ying Sisi: "." Threatening me? She invited her in.
Li Yuwei was triumphant. She raised her chin and looked around. The house was much neater and cleaner than the last time she came. It also felt more lived-in. “Where's your husband?”
Ying Sisi said coldly, “He's not home.”
“Why does your house smell so sweet?” Li Yuwei sniffed lightly.
Ying Sisi said, “It's the smell of shampoo.”
Li Yuwei giggled. “You're kidding. Don't you have any fruit?”
Ying Sisi didn't respond.
Li Yuwei didn't dare to look around. She said again, “My brother-in-law isn't home. I'll stay with you tonight.”
“He'll be back soon. I need to cook. I can't entertain you.” Sisi indirectly asked her to leave.
Li Yuwei pretended not to understand.
I have to see with my own eyes how Qin Yanci and Sisi get along.
He clearly favors violent methods. Why does he treat Sisi differently?
