116: Revised: Article 116 Cold and Indifferent
A sumptuous, even sowhat extravagant al, took the four of them nearly an hour to finish before they finally put down their cups and chopsticks.
Li Yuqi glanced around, avoiding Wu Xiaoyu’s gaze to prevent him from asking more questions.
Li Yujia, however, looked at the table full of leftovers with a faint pang of heartache.
Brother Xiaoyu had spent so much for his sister, yet her attitude was so dismissive, which made her, as the younger sister, feel quite embarrassed.
Zhou Dong was telling so jokes intermittently, but no one cooperated with him.
He had to cough awkwardly and lean over to Wu Xiaoyu’s ear, whispering, “Brother, I think you’re in a bit of trouble…”
Wu Xiaoyu naturally understood the aning of his words, but regardless of the outco, he and Li Yuqi had to sit down and have a good talk.
“Waiter, check please…” Wu Xiaoyu waved to the waiter standing by the counter, calling out.
The waitress was about to walk over to Wu Xiaoyu, but was stopped by her boss, who instructed her on so matters before she quickly walked over and said:
“Hello, the total is 1,080 yuan.
Our boss said to give you a 20% discount, so you only need to pay 800 yuan!”
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaoyu turned and saw Chen Zhaofeng standing behind the counter.
He quickly stood up and nodded at him in thanks.
Li Yuqi heard the waitress ntion the discount and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
A discount of 200 yuan is no small amount; when did Wu Xiaoyu have such a big face?
Wasn’t he just lucky to dig up a ginseng?
Oh… Right, he also started a barely surviving chicken farm, is the boss really worth this?
Zhou Dong saw him greeting the boss of Juxian Inn, laughed and said, “Well!
Xiaoyu, it looks like you’re a regular here!”
“I’ve been in Longhe Town for so long, and you never thought to bring
here!
Today’s al is thanks to Li Yuqi’s good fortune…”
“Stop the nonsense… Let’s go!” Wu Xiaoyu said.
The three of them imdiately got up and left with Wu Xiaoyu, while Zhou Dong had so matters to attend to at his shop, so he went back straight away.
Wu Xiaoyu placed the two suitcases properly and said to Li Yuqi and Li Yujia, “You all hop on!
Anyway, it’s not that far!”
Upon hearing this, Li Yujia quickly jumped onto the tricycle, also persuading, “Sister, co on up!
Mom is eager to see you!”
Li Yuqi didn’t want to argue in front of so many people, frowned, took out a pillowcase from the suitcase and spread it on the back seat of the tricycle before sitting down.
On the way, Wu Xiaoyu didn’t know what to say, so he kept silent, letting the sisters gossip about so news.
Just as they reached the village entrance, Li Yuqi had Wu Xiaoyu stop, then got off and walked slowly behind.
Wu Xiaoyu knew the villagers were the most chatty, seeing Li Yuqi sitting at the back would surely provoke so teasing, thus he understood her decision to walk.
As soon as he entered the village, he was spotted by so sharp-eyed won, noticing the two suitcases at the back of the tricycle.
These won had heard about Li Yuqi coming ho for sumr vacation in the morning and mocked, “Xiaoyu, did you go pick up your wife?”
Wu Xiaoyu didn’t want to get entangled with them, so he laughed it off and quickly pedaled away to escape their gossip.
Following behind, Li Yuqi and Li Yujia, although walking slowly, eventually entered the village, and as soon as Li Yuqi reached the village center, she was surrounded by many wives and grandmothers.
“Our village’s college student is back?”
“What is the Provincial City like?
What does the university look like?”
“…”
All kinds of miscellaneous questions bombarded Li Yuqi, she just smiled and occasionally gave perfunctory replies.
Having a college student in the village made the villagers feel quite proud, so they rarely ridiculed Wu Xiaoyu in front of her.
But with a lot of envy, jealousy was inevitable.
Soone suddenly shouted from the crowd, “Qiqi… When are you marrying Xiaoyu?”
Li Yuqi imdiately restrained her smile upon hearing this, frowned and walked away quickly, Liu Sheng who was squatting by the wall sneered, “Hmph, what’s so impressive, isn’t it just going to college!”
Wu Xiaoyu sent Li Yuqi’s luggage to her ho and then returned ho too.
He wanted to imdiately clarify their relationship.
But she had just co back, talking about this now seed inappropriate, maybe wait a bit longer.
As for waiting, whether it’s really feeling the timing is wrong or avoiding the worry of what might happen, even Wu Xiaoyu himself was unsure.
Li Yuqi got ho, her mother quickly brought out the stewed chicken and smiled, “Qiqi, tired from the journey?
Co… try my freshly stewed chicken!”
“Ah!
No need, I’ve already eaten…” Li Yuqi replied impatiently.
Her mother didn’t mind her attitude at all, even thinking she was being playful, kept persuading, “Eat so more!
I stewed it all morning on a small fire!”
“I already said I ate, I’m not hungry!
Do you want to overfeed ?”
Li Yujia was afraid her mother might feel hurt by her sister’s words, quickly explained, “Mom, Brother Xiaoyu just treated us in town!
You can have the chicken first!”
Her mother felt a bit disappointed upon hearing that, put the pot of stewed chicken back in the kitchen, and ca back smiling, “Xiaoyu is really good, helped our family a lot!”
Wu Xiaoyu… Wu Xiaoyu… Why do I have to be surrounded by this na as soon as I co ho?
I have nothing to do with him now!
Why always associate
with him?
Li Yueni was visibly upset, opened the suitcase, took out her things, and started organizing.
Upon seeing so many clothes, her mother was shocked, the family had no inco, only gave her a few hundred yuan a month for living expenses, where did she get the money to buy so many clothes?
“Um… Qiqi, why did you buy so many clothes?” Her mother asked tentatively.
Li Yuqi continued organizing her clothes, saying, “Of course to wear, not to look at!”
Her cold attitude made Li Yujia very unhappy, she felt her sister had completely changed after just one year in college.
Beca indifferent, even sowhat ungrateful, and forgetful of kindness.
She vaguely knew her sister found a new boyfriend in college, explaining her indifference towards Wu Xiaoyu in town.
But to treat her mother like this was too excessive!
First, she was indifferent about the stewed chicken, now answering her mother’s questions so dismissively, even coldly, it was truly disheartening.
