Wang Tianxue indifferently withdrew her gaze, turned around forlornly, "I’m sorry, I don’t need your sympathy."
Lin Chuxia anticipated this outcome and wasn’t disheartened. She called out to Wang Tianxue’s retreating figure, "I really don’t mean any harm, Wang Tianxue. If you need any help, you can find me at Qin’s Buns Shop on Construction Road."
Wang Tianxue paused her steps momentarily but didn’t turn back and continued walking forward.
Lin Chuxia watched her until she disappeared into the distance, knowing that she might not trust her now. But when the time comes for the custody of the child, and if she truly has nowhere else to turn, Wang Tianxue would seek her out.
Upon returning to the bicycle parking spot, the shameless couple was nowhere to be seen.
Lin Chuxia exchanged her ticket to retrieve her bicycle and didn’t rush home, instead heading straight for the market.
The market in the city boasted a variety that surpassed their county’s, even selling seafood.
Lin Chuxia bought a fish, some vegetables, and meat before finally returning home.
Qin Yang had arrived home early and had somehow procured a long bamboo pole, now digging a hole in the yard.
Li Wei was with him.
Seeing Lin Chuxia return, before Qin Yang could say anything, Li Wei joked, "Sister-in-law, you’re back. In the short while you were gone, Mr. Qin nearly turned into a ’wife-watching rock,’ unable to focus on his work, glancing at the gate eight times per minute."
Qin Yang didn’t deny it and looked at her intently.
Lin Chuxia, holding up the vegetables and fish, said, "I went to the market and stayed a bit longer. Sorry for making you worry. I should have told you beforehand."
Qin Yang then slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, "Okay."
Li Wei hissed and took a step back, looking at Qin Yang as if he were a monster, "Mr. Qin, are we still doing this work? Or should I step aside?"
He had never seen Qin Yang like this before. Even though nothing was said, the atmosphere between the two felt a bit cheesy.
Qin Yang glared at Li Wei irritatedly and then continued to dig the hole.
Li Wei chuckled and knew when to stop pressing the joke.
Lin Chuxia knew they were installing a TV antenna and called out to Li Wei, "Call over Sister-in-law Jiang Hong later, we’ll have dinner at my place tonight; I’ve bought a fish."
There was no way Li Wei would be formal with Qin Yang and the others, he loudly agreed, "Sure thing, believe it or not, just yesterday she was yearning for fish."
"Then we’ll make a fish soup. You guys get busy; I’m going to cook."
Lin Chuxia propped her bicycle up and entered the kitchen carrying the groceries.
All the necessary kitchenware had already been obtained, and using the gas stove was more convenient than the coal stove or wood stove at home.
The main dish would be rice.
Lin Chuxia first set the rice to steam, then started preparing the meat.
She had bought a good amount of meat, suitable for red braising.
As she was washing the meat, a pair of large hands took over, "The water’s cold; let me do it."
"That was quick, huh?"
Lin Chuxia looked outside and saw Li Wei spinning around the telephone pole, stretching his neck and peering through the glass into the house.
After some time, probably struggling, he stretched his neck out even further and yelled, "Mr. Qin! Mr. Qin! Come take a look, why can I only see snowflakes on the screen..."
Qin Yang ignored him, finished washing the meat, and placed it on the chopping board, "How big should I cut it?"
Lin Chuxia, suppressing her laughter, "Aren’t you going to check on him? It must be hard for him to adjust it alone, right?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Catching Qin Yang’s gaze, she gestured with her hands, "This size, for the red-braised pork."
