Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Preparing to Swindle Money_1 Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Preparing to Swindle Money_1 Xia Jianren lifted his glass and took a sip, toasting her, “Thank you, sister-in-law.”
“We’re all family, no need for formalities!”
While they were having a good ti here, Xia Ningxing’s ho was still foolishly waiting for Xia Jianren to co back for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
It was past twelve o’clock, and poor Xia Ningxing’s stomach was growling nonstop, but she couldn’t have dinner yet.
Unable to bear it any longer, she issued a protest, “Mom, let’s assu dad has stayed at grandma’s to eat, let’s not wait for him anymore, I’m starving!”
A scum daddy, what’s there to wait for!
Moreover, he might be eating rrily this very mont!
Mrs. Xia shifted her gaze from the door with a sigh, her heart having moved from hope to disappointnt long ago. Picking up her chopsticks, she said, “Forget it, let’s not wait any longer, we shouldn’t starve Bao’er.”
Actually, her husband had always had New Year’s Eve dinner at his mother’s house, but she couldn’t help hoping — what if her husband changed this year?
Xia Ningxing, both sleepy and hungry, hastily ate a few bites to fill her stomach, then climbed into bed to sleep.
Alas, the first al of the new decade, 1990, was consud so sloppily!
Before sleeping, Xia Ningxing didn’t forget to curse out Scum Daddy. If it wasn’t for waiting for him, would she have missed out on her beauty sleep?
Was it necessary to not properly celebrate the arrival of the nineties?
By the ti Xia Ningxing had fallen into a deep sleep, Xia Jianren returned ho reeking of alcohol.
“How co you drank so much again?” Mrs. Xia hadn’t slept, guessing her husband had returned, she quickly turned over, got out of bed, and supported her husband into the house.
“What’s wrong with drinking a few drinks for the New Year!” Xia Jianren let out a burp of alcohol at her.
Despite having drunk a lot, his years of drinking outside had honed his capacity. Not only was he not drunk, but he was even more lucid. His rough hands wrapped around her waist, his deep voice laden with grown-up implications, “Lanzi, it’s been a long ti since we last saw each other, co on, let’s go to the room to talk.”
Mrs. Xia understood what he ant, her beautiful face imdiately blushing.
But then she suddenly thought of the day of the land requisition when her mother-in-law threatened divorce, she hesitated for a mont before timidly asking, “Jianren, did your mother say anything to you?”
“You an about the land requisition?” Xia Jianren, aware of what she was implying, imdiately changed his tone from how he acted at the Xia family’s house, speaking up for her instead, “Mother did talk to about it, you have been wronged, Lanzi. My mother and they are being unreasonable. I’ve already reprimanded her. Don’t hold it against her.”
Mrs. Xia did not see the calculating look in the eyes of the man beside her, and the words he had spoken were already well-prepared.
She took them for truth, moved, and threw herself into the man’s arms, “I don’t hate her, I don’t hate her, as long as you don’t divorce , that’s all that matters!”
“Fool, you’re so good to , how could I bear to divorce you!” Xia Jianren curled his lips, lifted his sturdy shoulders, and picked her up.
“Ah!”
Mrs. Xia couldn’t help but exclaim, instinctively holding onto the man’s neck tightly, as if afraid of falling.
Xia Jianren covered her lips, his eyes flashing with an unusual glint, “Shush, don’t wake the child, let’s not disturb ourselves.”
Mrs. Xia shyly buried her head in his neck.
After they were finished.
Xia Jianren lit a cigarette, puffing smoke rings while pulling the woman beside him closer, “Lanzi, I heard you’ve been selling homade perfu since you were laid off?”
“That’s right,” responded Mrs. Xia ekly, nodding her head.
The gleam in Xia Jianren’s eyes intensified, “You must have made quite a bit of money, right?”
Mrs. Xia, having no guard against him, openly said, “Including the money from the land requisition, I have seventy thousand here.”
Actually, there wasn’t as much initially, only sixty thousand, but because Xia Ningxing advertised their homade perfu and attracted many traders to wholesale purchase, about ten thousand were deposits they paid.
