My Loyal and Lovely Husband

Chapter 87: Trickery in Heart



When Xiaoyan hears her son and sister talking outside, she feels happy for her sister can get along with her son harmoniously without any grudge in their hearts.

However, when she enters the room and talks with them, the atmosphere suddenly changes.

Zheng Xue coughs, standing up to take over the bowl in her mother’s hand, and explains with a smile, “I just talked with my aunt about her family. Aunt should be upset now.”

Jin Xiaodie has a trick in her heart, and she doesn’t want Jin Xiaoyan to know that she has inquired about Zheng Xue’s classmate, so she also follows Zheng Xue’s words.

“How could you arouse your aunt’s painful memory?” Jin Xiaoyan slaps Zheng Xue on the shoulder.

“Mother, it’s all my fault, I’m sorry.” Zheng Xue sits down with his mother and smiles.

“Why apologize to me?” Jin Xiaoyan pretends to be angry and stares at him, raises her chin, and faces Jin Xiaodie, “Apologize to your aunt.”

Zheng Xue turns around and bows deeply with both hands. He says: “My aunt, I’m sorry for what I did just now. I hope you can forgive me.”

Jin Xiaodie stands up hurriedly and holds Zheng Xue’s arm: “It’s OK, I’m not sad for that now.”

Although Jin Xiaodie says so, her expression looks strange.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Jin Xiaoyan only thinks her sister is still sad, so she takes her son aside and says, “Before your aunt and uncle become reconciled, you should never mention her family affairs to her.”

Zheng Xue nods and smiles gently.

After they finish the dinner, Jin Xiaodie grabs the dishes, with a excuse of washing dishes, and gets into the kitchen.

Jin Xiaoyan recalls her sister’s crying last night, and couldn’t help sighing.

“Mother, what’s the matter with you?” Zheng Xue asks sideways.

“Mother is OK.” Jin Xiaoyan’s eyes are kind and she claps Zheng Xue’s hands, but her worries are obvious.

Zheng Xue follows his mother’s eyes and looks at the back of Jin Xiaodie: “Are you worried about aunt? What’s the matter with her? I don’t think it’s a simple quarrel between her and uncle. ”

“Yes, if only it’s just a quarrel between them, but……” Jin Xiaoyan’s words almost come out, but then she stops and feels shocked in heart. She squeezes out a smile to cover up her strange look just now. In any case, she won’t let Zheng Xue know that his aunt’s divorce.

Since ancient times, only women who have no talent and no virtue will be divorced by their husbands. If she tells Zheng Xue about that, her sister’s situation will be embarrassed in the future.

“Well, what are you thinking about?” Jin Xiaoyan stares at her son again and pokes Zheng Xue’s head with her fingertips: “your aunt just quarreled with your uncle. She is diligent and virtuous. In a few days, your uncle will regret and comes to take your aunt back.”

In the county, Jin Weiwei, together with Little Rich and Tao Xiaoqing, also finds a place to eat. Then they go to the furniture shop and pick out several tables, chairs, benches and so on, and they ask them to deliver them later.

There is not much good furniture in the shop, so they have spent ten taels of silver on some furniture of good quality.

Jin Weiwei has just got three hundred taels of silver. So she doesn’t care about the price of furniture. She is happy and relaxed, and Little Rich’s face even shows tenderness and warmth. Only Tao Xiaoqing, who is walking behind them, calculates all the way. At last, he comes to the conclusion that they are at a loss.

The shop which makes furniture is not far from Jinji butcher’s shop. It’s two blocks away. Jin Weiwei takes out the key, opens the brass lock, and pushes in.

Because the shop has been cleaned earlier, there is no dust, and it’s empty.

Before the furniture arrives, Jin Weiwei turns to direct them: “Xiaoqing, you go to clean the floor again. I will clean the door with Little Rich. Since our shop is going to receive guests, we should pay more attention to the cleanliness, especially our food-making procedure.”

Tao Xiaoqing still feels sad for their loss. He covers his chest, and goes to clean up with broom.

Jin Weiwei can’t help smiling at his appearance, but when she turns her head, her eyes encounter with Little Rich’s.

“I’m going to fetch water,” says Little Rich, who quickly moves away his eyes.

Thinking of his jealous expression in the restaurant, Jin Weiwei smiles more happily.

Using the cool water in the well, Jin Weiwei and Little Rich wipe the door with a white rag. The door is made of poplar wood, but it is painted with yellow paint. After the erosion by wind and sun, the door has been stained with thin ash. If they don’t wipe it clean, it would be terrible.

Just after finishing cleaning the door, here come several guys, holding tables, chairs and benches.

Jin Weiwei quickly recognizes that’s the furniture she bought. She can’t imagine that they are delivered so soon.

“Manager Jin?” The guy who walks ahead put the table at the door, asks with a smile and bows with both hands.

“Yes, it’s me.” Jin Weiwei comes out of the door.

The chief of them points to the table, chair and says, “Here’s your furniture. Do you need me to carry them into the shop now?”

Looking back, Weiwei finds that Tao Xiaoqing is still cleaning the dust on the ground. She shakes her head and says, “Well, I’ll carry them by ourselves later.”

She takes out half a cent of silver from her sleeve and puts it into the hand of the chief: “It’s hard to carry these things here! You can take the silver to have a rest in the bar. ”

“Well…” The chief hesitates for a minute. Until the silver is put into his hand does he say with a smile, ” how can I accept it?”

Jin Weiwei answers with her sweet voice: “Don’t be embarrassed. My shop still needs your help in the future.”

This is the real purpose of Jin Wei.

Hearing that, the chief pinches the silver on his hand and says: “OK, if there is any trouble in the shop, manager Jin just comes to find us! ”

Jin Weiwei smiles and nods, like a cordial girl who lives next door.

Tao Xiaoqing has just put the dust out of the gate and witnesses the behavior of his boss. His heart aches again: “sister Wei, why do you give those guys money?”

Jin Weiwei laughs and says casually: “Xiaoqing, you don’t understand. Have you ever heard the story of buying horse bone?”

What does that mean? Tao Xiaoqing is really confused.

But suddenly a voice comes outside: “Sister Jin is right!”

They turn around, and find Shen Cuihua already stands at door.

“Sister Jin is really a sociable talent!” Shen Cuihua says with honest admiration and turns to ask her husband, “Do you think so?”

Manager Qian dares not to deny, moreover, he really admires Jin Weiwei’s way to conduct herself. So he generously praises: “Sister Jin’s silver is used wisely.”
