Reborn in the 80s, G Chapter 112: The Jester’s Leap

Chapter 112: Chapter 112: The Jester’s Leap.

"Right!" Tong Yao laughed, "You bought sothing and it arrived the next day, and it’s all gone now."

"Hehe, what a coincidence." Li Nuanchun chuckled dryly, looking very comical.

In this past week, Li Nuanchun was convinced that Tong Yao was pregnant, but Tong Yao never ntioned giving her the stuff. To Li’s surprise, Tong Yao had just brought up that she was nstruating.

She felt like a complete fool.

She wondered why the young couple, who had been married for over a month and were active in bed every night, didn’t seem to be expecting a child yet.

Seeing Li Nuanchun standing there with an embarrassed expression, Tong Yao blinked, "Sister-in-law, co with ."

Tong Yao returned to the room, took out a pack of sanitary pads from her suitcase, and handed it to Li Nuanchun, "Sister-in-law, your period should be coming soon too, right? I bought a lot, take a pack!"

Li Nuanchun’s eyes sparkled, but she refused against her will, "These things are so expensive, I can’t take them!"

Tong Yao smiled with squinted eyes, "Sister-in-law, I heard that these products have an expiry date. After all, they are personal items. If they are used past their expiry date, they can cause hygiene issues. The ensuing dical expenses would be much more than the price of these items. You work hard every day to help us buy groceries, so feel free to use them!"

"Well, since you put it that way, I won’t be polite then." Li Nuanchun happily accepted the sanitary pads, her mouth couldn’t close from smiling. She wanted to rush back ho to see what they looked like, "My husband will be off work soon, I need to go cook, you should sit down and cool off, you’re sweating."

After seeing off Li Nuanchun, Si Xiaohui closed the door and complained, "Sister-in-law, those are expensive! I’ve never used them before, how could you just give them away?"

What a waste of money! If our mom knew you were so generous, she would be heartbroken!

Tong Yao sat in front of the electric fan, stretched languidly, and mysteriously said, "I’m not only giving away sanitary pads, but also good will. Sister-in-law Li helps a lot, giving her a pack of sanitary pads is worth it."

According to reports, ever since Li Nuanchun agreed to help them buy groceries daily, she has been speaking highly of her and Si Chen. Even when Chen Yani criticized them, Li Nuanchun would defend them. It’s clear that Tong Yao’s money was well spent.

Si Xiaohui didn’t understand. The sanitary pads cost about one yuan per pack - almost the price of half a kilogram of at. People in the village were reluctant to use them, and she hadn’t used them in all her life. Yet Tong Yao shrugged it off and threw a pack to soone as if they were dirt cheap.

Despite her discomfort, Si Xiaohui didn’t object. After what happened with He Fang, she realized that Tong Yao was very strategic. Whatever she did, she did it with a purpose, and questioning her too much might backfire.

Si Xiaohui didn’t even realize that after living in the city for over a week under Tong Yao’s influence, her mindset had started to subtly change. She no longer protested and demanded justice whenever sothing happened.

Tong Yao, seeing her thoughts, smiled slightly. Without exposing Si Xiaohui, she casually took out another pack of sanitary pads from the suitcase, "You can use a pack too!"

"For ?" Si Xiaohui lit up, quickly took them, her smile couldn’t be stifled. Holding the sanitary pads like a treasured item, she said, "I was just about to start my period."

Ever since Tong Yao started buying things for her, Si Xiaohui noticed that Tong Yao isn’t as stingy as before. But when Tong Yao gave the sanitary pads to Li Nuanchun but not to her, Si Xiaohui couldn’t help but feel a little upset. Now that she also had a share, Si Xiaohui was as happy as if she had tasted honey.

She had never used this kind of item before, and she didn’t know if it was better than toilet paper.

"Why are you so happy?" Si Chen walked in, his gaze landed on Tong Yao’s face, a hint of softness flashed in his indifferent eyes.

"Nothing." Si Xiaohui quickly hid the sanitary pads behind her back and said with a grin, "Brother, sister-in-law is hungry, you better start cooking! I’ll be there to help in a bit."

Si Chen’s gaze left Tong Yao’s face and he picked up the vegetables from the table and headed towards the kitchen.

After sending Si Chen away, Si Xiaohui quickly hid the sanitary pads in the drawer, "Sister-in-law, you sit down and cool off first, I’m going to cook with my brother."

Having received a favor, Si Xiaohui was as active as a small motor, wishing she could praise Tong Yao and carry her up to the heavens. Tong Yao was growing on her.

She’d seen what other villagers’ sisters-in-law were like, most of whom were like mosquitoes, always leeching off their sisters-in-law. A sister-in-law like Tong Yao, who was rare. Although Tong Yao doesn’t work as hard as other sisters-in-law at household chores, she knew how to make money!

Looking at it this way, having a sister-in-law from the city didn’t seem too bad. If she had a rural sister-in-law, she would still be farming in the countryside by now.

Si Chen’s cooking skills were as good as ever. In less than half an hour, the scent of spicy chicken wafted from the kitchen, filling the entire corridor. Coincidentally, Liu Haisheng and Li iyu were returning from the canteen with food, and the aroma of the chicken made the food in their boxes unappetizing.

Back in their room, Li iyu let out a small tantrum, slamming her food box onto the table, causing the soup to spill out. She pouted and complained, "Look at Dr. Si, he’s cooking and doing chores after work. You, on the other hand, can’t do anything. I don’t know what was wrong with , why did I fall for you, a twice-married man?"

Before Tong Yao moved into the communal housing, Li iyu was quite satisfied with her living situation. Among all the doctors’ wives, she had the best figure, didn’t have to take care of children, had a stable job, didn’t have to worry about household chores, and only had to focus on being beautiful. Everyone who saw her was envious.

Except for the end of each month when salary-infused money ran out making life a little difficult, everything was fine.

Since Tong Yao’s arrival, although Li iyu’s life seed unchanged, it felt as if a lot had changed. She was no longer the focus of the residential compound, everyone was talking about Tong Yao. While they criticized Tong Yao for being lazy, they also called her a siren who enchanted Si Chen.

Although everyone complained about Tong Yao, who didn’t envy her?

Who wouldn’t want the ability to have their needs t without lifting a finger? Unfortunately, not everyone had that luck.

Si Chen was young, successful, handso, and knew how to pamper his wife. Such n were hard to find, even with a lantern. If she had t Si Chen first, she wouldn’t have ended up with Liu Haisheng, a twice-married man.

"What are you getting upset about now?" Liu Haisheng took a cleaning cloth and wiped the table as he spoke, "Look, other than Dr. Si, which man spends all their ti in the kitchen? What does it look like for a big man to be in the kitchen all day? You don’t even know what people say about Dr. Si behind his back."

Liu Haisheng was sowhat chauvinistic and cared about maintaining face. Despite the age gap, he could indulge Li iyu’s temperant, lack of housework involvent, and lavish spending. However, he couldn’t tolerate doing housework himself– that was a line he wouldn’t cross.
