Chapter 390 The Jealousy of the Older 2
Xie Chang'an followed her out and found Xie Changle standing at the door. "Pour out the bathwater!"
"Hey!" Xie Changle scurried in, picked up the wooden bucket, and ran like the wind.
As long as his fourth brother paid attention to him, he would do anything he was asked to do.
Xie Chang'an came out of the bathroom, intending to go to the kitchen to find Luo Ning. Xie Changle, who had just finished emptying the bathwater, approached him and said, "Fourth Brother, Luo Ning is always seen coming in and out with a group of men. You should be careful she doesn't cheat on you..."
Xie Chang'an was furious and frantically searched for a suitable weapon.
Seeing that things were not going well, Xie Changle ran away in a flash.
Luo Ning rode her bicycle in with a bundle in her hand. It was a net bag of crayfish and various kinds of meat that she had brought out after wandering around the village and entering her spatial dimension. She hadn't missed a single word of Xie Chang'an's conversation.
She was quite surprised to find that she was perceived in such a way by Xie Changle.
However, Xie Changle's idea probably represents the thoughts of some people in the village, haha.
Her workshop and hair ornaments brought tangible benefits to the villagers. Even now, Jian Yin can still connect with people, but greed knows no bounds.
Xie Chang'an returned to his bedroom and looked for paper to write a letter.
When he opened a drawer, he found it was the drawer where Luo Ning kept his letters. Inside were letters he had sent back, a stack of envelopes, and monkey stamps, as well as...
The letter was written, and the recipient was him!
Xiao Ning wrote him a letter, but why wasn't it mailed? Xie Chang'an picked up the envelope and opened it with an air of righteous indignation.
Xie Chang'an first flipped to the end and found that the time of writing the letters was very close to the time of receiving them, which meant that Luo Ning had written these letters after receiving his letters...
Xie Chang'an flipped to the front and skimmed through the pages.
Although the letters were written at different times, they all conveyed Luo Ning's deep affection, and his meticulous care moved him deeply.
The young wife liked him, but she never told him...
I wrote the letter, but I didn't send it to him!
Xie Chang'an's eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered that his wife was angry when he wrote the letter, waiting for him to explain where the withheld allowance had gone.
Yes, yes, that’s it!
Hearing footsteps, Xie Chang'an immediately stuffed the letter back into his hand. Since his wife didn't want him to know, he would pretend he didn't know for the time being.
Luo Ning went into the bedroom to change into her pajamas, glanced at Xie Chang'an sitting in front of the desk, and said, "Go back to sleep for a while. I'll call you for dinner!"
"Hmm..." Xie Chang'an readily agreed, doing whatever his wife said without any objection.
Although he didn't want to sleep at all right now, he wanted to go to the kitchen...
After Luo Ning left, Xie Chang'an took out some stationery and wrote a letter.
After stuffing the three hundred yuan into an empty envelope and sealing it, his gaze fell on the pile of monkey stamps.
These must be the stamps his wife asked him to collect. He hadn't noticed them before, but now that he thinks about it, he's seen them before.
He secretly made a mental note of it, determined to give his young wife a generous share.
Xie Changle returned from a run outside and was caught by Xie Chang'an as soon as he entered the courtyard.
"Fourth Brother, that's what everyone's saying outside, it's really not my fault!" Xie Changle immediately explained, as he had always looked down on Luo Ning.
Okay, Xie Changle's mentality can be understood as the jealousy of the perennial runner-up towards the leader.
He tried his best, but it was still not as good as Luo Ning's casual effort!
Why was Luo Ning born when he was already here?
Moreover, Luo Ning hired a tutor for him without saying a word, which was a sign of disrespect.
Xie Changle didn't even remember the tutor who provided him with strong support and assistance on his path to higher education.
He knew that Luo Ning despised him and looked down on him!
When you dislike someone, you can't stand anything they do, everything they do is wrong, and the more they do, the more wrong they seem.
Xie Chang'an wanted to kick Xie Chang Le into the sky, if he could move...
"If I hear you say anything bad about Luo Ning again, I'll break your legs!" He slammed the letter he had just written on the table, then wheeled himself away.
He didn't want to see Xie Chang Le at all, he never wanted to see Xie Chang Le in his life.
Xie Changle conscientiously put the letter in his pocket; he was capable of delivering the letter.
When Xie Chang'an arrived in the kitchen, he found Luo Ning talking to Qiangzi, who was tending the fire in front of the stove, while cooking.
He only glanced at Qiangzi, who then wisely gave up his spot and pushed Xie Chang'an to the front of the stove.
Xie Chang'an felt instantly comforted and took on the heavy responsibility of tending the fire.
Back when they were at home, Luo Ning would cook while he tended the fire.
During his time away from home, this became part of his memories; he cherished the feeling of doing something together with his wife.
Luo Ning glanced at the stove and continued frying the small yellow croakers.
"Qiangzi, I'm giving you two choices. First, go to the cotton mill. We've just taken over the cotton mill, so we must place our people in the upper echelons and keep a firm grip on it."
Secondly, you'll be my assistant. When I first started planning to start the business, I never intended to be in the public eye; I only planned to work behind the scenes.
I need a trusted confidant to help me manage some work and represent me in public!
I'll give you two days to think it over. You need to make a decision when we go to the cotton mill!
Qiangzi nodded. The two pieces of news were a bit shocking and overwhelming. He seemed to be unable to bear it and floated out.
"Keep the fire low!" Luo Ning said as he flipped the fish.
"Understood!" Xie Chang'an readily complied and removed some firewood.
He was secretly furious. He knew nothing about the cotton mill, and his wife wouldn't tell him anything about her. This feeling of being excluded was absolutely awful.
Luo Ning noticed Xie Chang'an's low spirits, but ignored it and instead told Xie Chang'an about her agreement with Xie Changle.
“I heard that Xie Changle got his admission notice and is hiding it very well. He’s avoiding me now, and I feel like he’s hiding something from me.”
Luo Ning revealed half of his thoughts while keeping the other half hidden, believing that Xie Chang'an already understood.
"I understand, don't worry, I'll get the acceptance letter for you!" Xie Chang'an said confidently, overjoyed to be able to do something for his little wife.
When Luo Ning's aunt and mother came over to cook, they found Xie Chang'an tending the fire. Luo Ning had almost finished making breakfast. The three of them looked at each other, wondering if they had overslept.
No, I get up at this time every day.
"I got up a little early today, so I started cooking first!" Luo Ning explained, immediately assigning tasks to the three of them.
With everyone having something to do, the awkward situation was immediately eased.
Luo Ning's aunt, Zhou Ling, leaned closer to Luo Ning and said, "Da Ya, you're so tired every day, you need to get more sleep. Don't get up so early in the morning anymore!"
These words struck a chord with Liu Aihong. Although she was sometimes confused, her love for her daughter was genuine.
"Da Ya, listen to your aunt, Mom doesn't approve of you getting up so early either!"
Aunt Zhang Yan, the second aunt, also chimed in, following the general trend.
Before Luo Ning could explain, Xie Chang'an immediately took the blame, "Mom, Aunt, Second Aunt, Luo Ning got up so early to cook for me. I promise I won't let her get up so early again..."
Liu Aihong and the other two glanced at Xie Chang'an, then lowered their heads and went back to their work.
Sigh, my daughter/niece is all grown up now. They feel sorry for their husbands who are hungry because they haven't eaten. They also feel sorry for her because she is so tired every day and gets up so early.
It's all Xie Chang'an's fault. If he hadn't come back, none of this would have happened.
Luo Ning rolled her eyes at Xie Chang'an. "You idiot, who told you to tell the truth!"
Xie Chang'an touched his nose, trying to make himself less noticeable, and solemnly declared that he would never let his little wife work so hard again.
The air in the kitchen suddenly became quiet...
