Although this house was a standalone three-story building with soundproofing, Tang Xiaowan, standing on the second floor, still heard the voices of conversation from the first floor.
"Granny Yu, Granny Yu, the young lady said she wants to eat hot pot."
"Okay, got it."
"Let’s start preparing now, I’ll go buy so beer and drinks. Oh, Cheng Shi seems to like frozen tofu and tofu skin. We should buy more of those later. Take a look and see what else we’re missing. Think quick, I’ll bring it back with ."
"Cilantro and kelp, and also tripe. We don’t need more atballs; I’ll make so which should be enough. Other things... we have them at ho. That should be it."
"Don’t we already have cilantro?"
"Buy two more bunches; that little bit isn’t even enough for the young lady to stuff her teeth with. She loves it, and the tripe too. Buy more of that, Mr. Leng likes it as well."
"Got it. If there’s anything else, just call."
"Drive safely, there’s no rush, we have plenty of ti before dinner."
"Don’t worry, I know."
The wrought iron gate closed with a clank.
Gradually, the first floor returned to silence, where only the faint sounds of opening the refrigerator and pulling out drawers could be heard.
Tang Xiaowan touched her nose, leaning against the handrail, looking utterly confused.
This is not normal, this guy is definitely not normal!
Cheng Shi likes to eat frozen tofu and tofu skin, gotta buy more later!
So they’ve reached a united front? No more bickering?
Just as she was pondering this, the lodious ringtone of her cellphone suddenly sounded. Tang Xiaowan frowned and hurried back to her room to answer it.
She didn’t need to look; she knew who it was.
To distinguish between Li Zishen and Leng Lingxiao, Tang Xiaowan had set special ringtones for them, so she could easily tell who the caller was just from the ringtone.
Old fox, annoying old fox!
Definitely calling because he found out I didn’t go to class, ready to give a lecture.
Indeed, as soon as she answered the phone, Li Zishen’s deep voice ca through, "Why didn’t you go to school this morning? Are you feeling unwell? Why didn’t you let know?"
Tang Xiaowan: "..."
Oh my god, what do you an "let you know"?
I’m not your property; do I have to report to you?
Narcissist, egomaniac!
Tang Xiaowan made a face at the phone before replying, "Maybe I ate too many chilies, my stomach hurts."
Of course, this was just a random excuse.
She thought about saying she had a cold but was afraid if she did, Li Zishen would drive over again.
"Have you not been eating radishes recently?"
"Please, as if they’re so kind of miracle drug that cures all ailnts? I eat radishes all the ti, when I was in Li Garden, you’d eat radishes every day. I thought it was to prevent heatiness, but apparently not?"
"Did you hear this from Li Zihan?"
Li Zishen frowned, "Yes!"
Indeed, it was his brother Li Zihan who told him that soone like Tang Xiaowan, who constantly ate chilies and at, couldn’t avoid having hemorrhoids, and eating radishes not only cleared heat but also helped with weight loss and fat reduction.
This was basic knowledge about radishes that Li Zishen naturally knew.
However, he had never considered the issues related to hemorrhoids or weight loss, firmly believing Tang Xiaowan ate them just because she liked to, after all, she wasn’t fat, nor had he seen her buy any dicine related to hemorrhoids.
"How did you know it was Zihan?" asked Li Zishen, curiously continuing to probe.
"Because he asked once."
"Asked you what?"
"It’s laughable, he actually asked if I had hemorrhoids. Can you believe he ca up with that? How could that be possible?"
"Oh, that’s good then."
"You... do you have anything else? If not, I’m hanging up. I need to ask Chen Yu about howork."
"Okay then, you go ahead."
After the call ended, Tang Xiaowan didn’t actually call Chen Yu to ask about howork. Instead, she leisurely went downstairs to the kitchen.
She was curious about why Wang ijuan wanted to eat hot pot.
