Chapter 323: Fickle Women

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Li Lei went to the kitchen after he was done speaking.

Water was boiling on the stove in the kitchen.

He took the basin for soaking feet, mixed it until it become warm, and brought it to Meng Xiaoning.

Looking at Li Lei’s eager appearance, Meng Xiaoning said in a low voice, “Alright, I’m not angry anymore. You should quickly pack up and go to bed early. I’ll have to trouble you to look after Xiangxiang tomorrow.”

Li Lei looked at Meng Xiaoning suspiciously, suspecting that she was lying.

Women were stubborn sometimes. They were obviously still angry in their hearts, but they said that they were not angry.

Seeing this, Meng Xiaoning laughed and said, “I’m really not angry anymore.”

She urged him. “Hurry up and put more charcoal in the brazier so you don’t have to wake up several times at night!”

Li Lei finally believed that she was not angry anymore.

He went to the kitchen and opened the furnace door of the brazier. He cleared the charcoal ash from inside, then closed the door halfway and added a lot of charcoal into the stove barrel.

After she was done, Meng Xiaoning also finished washing her feet.

When her feet were warm, her entire body would also be warm.

Li Lei poured water for her and poured water for himself. He quickly washed his feet and followed Meng Xiaoning into the bed.

After turning off the lights, Li Lei fell asleep very quickly after a long day. However, Meng Xiaoning lay on the heated brick bed and did not fall asleep for a long time.

She did feel a little aggrieved about what happened yesterday, but she wasn’t angry.

Li Lei’s thinking was simple, and she could understand it.

He felt that she was the closest person to him and it was nothing to suffer a little. Qin Xiaomin was his new Sister-in-law, and he was afraid she would not be used to the house and would argue with Li Yong.

Ever since they got married, Li Lei had actually done better than most men.

He was hardworking and capable. He was able to help out with everything in the family, big and small.

Moreover, he didn’t have any hobbies. He didn’t smoke, drink, or play cards at all.

As for his shortcoming, he definitely had one.

He was too straightforward and did not know how to make people happy.

However, no one was perfect. Didn’t she also have a lot of problems?

As she thought about it, Meng Xiaoning soon fell asleep.

The next day, after breakfast, Meng Xiaoning finished feeding Xiangxiang and left with Qin Xiaomin.

She did have some things to buy. She had a lot of milk, and Xiangxiang couldn’t drink it all, which would cause her to swell and hurt.

She had heard that there was a breast pump that could suck out the excess milk so that she could feel more comfortable.

At 11 pm, Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zi’ang walked into the store hand in hand.

Li Xu was busy and instructed the two of them, “Let’s wait outside for a while. We’ll go home after Big Brother comes back.”

Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zi’ang were sitting obediently under the parasol outside.

“Yuanyuan, you women are really too fickle.” Ji Zi’ang suddenly said as he lay on the table.

Ji Zi’ang looked listless after school.

On the way back, Ji Yuanyuan had been helding back from asking.

This was because she knew that Ji Zi’ang, with his big mouth, would definitely reveal it himself.

As expected, he opened his mouth.

Women are fickle?

“What did Qi Huanhuan say to you?” Ji Yuanyuan asked tentatively.

Ji Zi’ang sighed. “Qi Huanhuan said that she doesn’t want to marry me anymore. She wants to marry someone like Zhang Guorong. He’s handsome and rich.”

Ji Yuanyuan’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this name.

He had been her idol when she was young. There were all sorts of posters in the room and all sorts of CDs in the drawers.

However, after the idol fall, it took her a long time to recover from the shock.

She forced a smile and said in a low voice, “Second Brother, you will become handsome and rich in the future!”

Not only that, but he had also become the idol of thousands of young girls.

Ji Zi’ang was still listless and sprawled on the table without saying a word.

At that moment, a car drove over from not far away and finally stopped in front of the shop.

Ji Yuanyuan recognized it at a glance. It was Qin Xiaomin’s car.

She quickly went up to him and called out sweetly, “Second Aunt!”

Qin Xiaomin opened the car door and got out.

Meng Xiaoning, who was next to her, also got out of the car. Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised, but she still shouted, “Eldest Aunt!”

Qin Xiaomin touched Ji Yuanyuan’s head. “Aren’t you cold? Why didn’t you get in?”

“I’m not cold at all.” Ji Yuanyuan shook her head. “I’m actually a little hot!”

Qin Xiaomin smiled and walked to the trunk with her belly protruding. “Your Eldest Aunt and I bought you a few clothes.”

Li Xu saw the two of them coming over and quickly came out.

“You’re so pregnant. Why are you still driving around?” Li Xu said.

Qin Xiaomin took out a few paper bags from the trunk. “I’m not tired. 1 have to come out more before 1 give birth. These are the clothes that Sister-in-law and I bought for the children. You can let them try them on. If they don’t fit, there are the invoices inside. You can just take them back to change the size.”

Li Xu declined. “You two are really too much. Why are you wasting money? The children have a lot of clothes!”

“All, we’re their Aunts. Isn’t it normal to buy things for our the children? Big Sister, just accept it!”

Qin Xiaomin forcefully stuffed the bag into Li Xu’s hands.

Meng Xiaoning stood next to the passenger seat with an awkward smile on her face.

Qin Xiaomin had bought all these things by herself.

However, she told her Elder Sister that they had bought it together. She was really giving her face.

Compared to Qin Xiaomin’s magnanimity and thoughtfulness, Meng Xiaoning suddenly felt her previous thoughts were really too dirty.

Li Xu accepted it, and Ji Zixuan happened to ride his bicycle over.

He and his classmate stopped before the store and waved to them. They continued walking.

“We won’t disturb you then, Big Sis,” Qin Xiaomin said upon seeing that.

“Be careful on your way back.” Li Xu nodded.

Qin Xiaomin closed the trunk and got into the car.

The car left very quickly. Li Xu stood on the spot for a while before closing the door of the shop and bringing the three children home for dinner.

After the meal, Li Xu took out the clothes that Qin Xiaomin had given her.

The three children each had a sweater and a down jacket.

It had to be said that Qin Xiaomin and Meng Xiaoning had good eyesight.

The three children all liked it, and the size was suitable.

After putting it on, Ji Zi’ang refused to take it off and insisted on wearing it to school in the afternoon.

“No, take off your sweaters. I’ll help you wash them later. If you guys want to wear down jackets, you can wear them in the afternoon.” In the kitchen, Li Xu instructed as she was cooking.

Hearing this, Ji Zi’ang unwillingly took off his sweater.

After lunch, Li Xu placed all three sweaters into the washing machine. After pressing the laundry button, she left the house in a hurry.

It had been a busy morning. Not only were there many customers, but there were also two applicants.

However, they were a little too old, so Li Xu didn’t take a fancy to them.

She still wanted to find a few younger ones. Young people were full of energy..
