Chapter 18
Huang Yunlong wanted to ridicule Li Shaoan in his words, but he was criticized by this kid and humiliated him in turn.
As the village chief of Tieshanwan and in front of his daughter-in-law, Huang Yunlong had to force himself to press the fire, smiled and let go of a few sarcastic words and hurriedly left the village branch.
"Xuemei, I'll go back first. Your mother is still waiting at home. Do you want to come to your house for dinner later?"
"No, I'll go home."
"Okay, then you can go back early after you finish your work."
Zhao Xuemei's attitude towards her father-in-law is average, and she can't say she is enthusiastic. At most, she is better than those villagers in Tieshanwan, and is far less intimate than Li Shaoan.
When Huang Yunlong walked away, Zhao Xuemei suddenly burst into laughter.
"Xuemei, why are you laughing at?" Li Shaoan was fascinated by the way. Zhao Xuemei's clever smile was very charming.
"You are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, nor is it afraid of heaven or earth." Zhao Xuemei smiled happily and said, "He Huang Yunlong has always been a hero in this Tieshan Bay. Few dared to talk to him like this. Are you very brave."
Li Shaoan laughed and said, "I also heard the sarcastic meaning of his words. I couldn't stand it, so I fought back. Isn't he your father-in-law? Why did you say that to him?"
A deep contempt appeared in Zhao Xuemei's eyes, and she said coldly: "That old guy is not a good person. I will tell you about him slowly in the future."
Seeing Zhao Xuemei's attitude towards Huang Yunlong, this is not something that ordinary daughter-in-law would have for her father-in-law. Li Shaoan vaguely felt that there was something hidden here, but it was not convenient to ask. Since Zhao Xuemei had said everything, she would talk about it later, then she would talk about it later when she wanted to talk.
It was already dark outside, and the two were still in the finance room of the village branch, leaning against the small stove, and they seemed to be reluctant to separate.
"Are you hungry?" Zhao Xuemei opened the drawer, took out a pack of peach pastry from it, handed it to Li Shaoan, and said, "Eat something."
"It's okay, I'm not hungry." Li Shaoan thanked.
"What are you eating? I can't finish it by myself." Zhao Xuemei acted coquettishly with a hint of coquettishness.
Under Zhao Xuemei's kindness, Li Shaoan had to take a piece and put it in his mouth. The sweet and crispy taste was very delicious. Seeing that Li Shaoan was finally willing to eat it, Zhao Xuemei picked up a piece and put it next to her mouth and bit it gently.
"Xuemei, you look so good at eating." Li Shaoan said something casually.
Zhao Xuemei felt very happy when she heard this, but she suppressed her happiness and pretended to blame her and said, "You are afraid that you will be hungry. She kindly invites you to eat, but you are here to say some slight words."
The more Li Shaoan was in front of Zhao Xuemei, the more clumsy he seemed, and said blankly: "I'm telling the truth, you really look good."
"You fool!"
Zhao Xuemei stared at Li Shaoan in a daze, always feeling that this man is sometimes stupid and sometimes full of courage. It is really hard to understand. I don’t know if it was deliberately pretending to be like this, but she didn’t care about these things. What Shaoan said made her very happy.
"Did I make you angry again? If you are unhappy to see me, then I will leave now." Li Shaoan seemed angry when he saw Zhao Xuemei, and thought he had annoyed her again. He felt a little ashamed and stood up to leave the finance room.
"Sit down! Don't leave!" Zhao Xuemei was so amused and crying that she was so troubled by Li Shaoan that she had no temper. She thought to herself that this man was such a complete fool.
Li Shaoan didn't understand the woman's thoughts. He looked at Zhao Xuemei and was happy and angry for a while. He couldn't figure it out at all. Anyway, whatever Zhao Xuemei said was, and he followed her and sat back immediately.
In fact, Zhao Xuemei had already finished what she had on hand, but in order to seem to be working overtime, she found the accounts in the village to reconcile. Overtime work was fake, but in fact, it was to stay with Li Shaoan for a while.
"Your third sister-in-law Ma Hui is really a powerful woman, no less than my mother-in-law. When working in the village branch, Ma Hui is one of the few people I am most reluctant to deal with."
I just heard Huang Yunlong talk about what Li Shaoan wanted to farm because Ma Hui was talking everywhere. Zhao Xuemei immediately understood that it was Ma Hui who wanted to watch Li Shaoan behind her back.
Li Shaoan shook his head helplessly and said, "Oh, my third sister-in-law is really too smart to do everything she can to take advantage of a little bit of flies. It's really tiring to deal with such people. This time, my elder brother wanted to give me one acre of more land, but she was not convinced, so she spread these words behind her back, wanting to see if I can't get out of Taiwan in the future."
"Do you know all this?" Zhao Xuemei asked.
Li Shaoan smiled bitterly and said, "I know more, that's what she is. If I were an outsider, I would definitely not spare her. However, it's my sister-in-law after all. I have given birth to a daughter for my third brother over the years and have managed the family well. I can't do anything to her."
Zhao Xuemei said: "You attach great importance to brotherhood."
Li Shaoan nodded and said, "No matter what, they are all personal, especially my elder brother and sister-in-law. If they weren't for them in recent years, they would not be as good as Li Shaoan now."
Zhao Xuemei smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law Tan Hongxia is a kind-hearted person, and your elder brother has found a good wife."
Speaking of finding a wife, Li Shaoan instantly remembered the scene when she cooked ginger soup for herself at Zhao Xuemei's house that night. At that time, Li Shaoan was thinking that if he could ask for a wife like Zhao Xuemei in the future, it would definitely be a very happy thing.
As he thought about it, Li Shaoan's eyes looked at Zhao Xuemei and became stunned, without even blinking, making Zhao Xuemei's cheeks turn red.
"You idiot, you have just said a few words. Why did you get into trouble again? Is there a flower on my face or what?"
Zhao Xuemei also guessed that it must have been the story of Li Shaoan just talking about the elder brother and sister-in-law. Seeing Li Shaoan's infatuated gaze, Zhao Xuemei's face was filled with happiness, thinking that this idiot was thinking about himself in his heart? But once he remembered that he had married as a wife, he would inevitably feel sad.
"Shao'an, after the weather improves in a few days, I want to go to the county town. Can you accompany me?"
Zhao Xuemei invited Li Shaoan, but she was very nervous. It was the first time she asked a man to go with her. I wonder if Li Shaoan, a stupid guy, would agree.
"Okay, I'm going to go to the county town, too."
Li Shaoan smiled happily. What he said was not a polite word or a temporary intention, but he was indeed going to the county town.
Zhao Xuemei smiled like a flower and said, "I want to buy something in the county town, where are you?"
Li Shaoan said: "So too."
"What are you going to buy?" Zhao Xuemei said curiously.
