Chapter 482

"Help with small things every few days."

"Let Cao Weiguo owe you favors bit by bit."

"If he owes enough favors, can Cao Weiguo not repay them?"

"I can also talk to him from time to time."

"Invite him for a meal and a drink."

"With these favors plus the face of me, the Second Uncle."

"Cao Weiguo will have to help with this favor sooner or later."

"If he doesn't help, that means he has no conscience, and the whole courtyard will poke his spine!"

Hearing Yan Fugui's words, the Second Aunt clapped in approval.

Yu Li felt uneasy: "I understand."

She went to the kitchen, grabbed some vegetables, and walked to the sink, feeling distracted.

While washing the vegetables, the scene at the Lama Temple appeared in her mind.

Cao Weiguo's bold confession left her mind in chaos.

Although she and Yan Jiecheng did not have a good marital relationship.

They were, after all, a legally married couple who had registered their marriage.

Although Cao Weiguo was younger and more capable than Yan Jiecheng.

He was, after all, someone else's husband.

Moreover, the two had always been neighbors and had no overly intimate dealings.

If one were to talk about feelings, Yu Li's feelings for Cao Weiguo were almost zero.

But Cao Weiguo's confession and deep affection for her.

Caused her to passively develop emotions different from before.

Being liked and confessed to by someone made her heart ripple.

There was a faint sense of happiness, pride, and excitement!

It was as if it had added a different, vibrant color to her black-and-white life.

"Weiguo, you're back!"

"Second Uncle, you're back quite early today."

"There wasn't much to do at school today, so I came back on time."

A burst of casual pleasantries suddenly broke Yu Li's chaotic thoughts.

She turned her head involuntarily, then quickly turned it back, blushing.

She wished she could lower her head into the sink, her heart pounding wildly.

Cao Weiguo was back!

"Sister Li, washing vegetables? Here, wash a peach and eat it."

"I picked these from the commune; they taste pretty good."

Without knowing when, Cao Weiguo had suddenly come to her side.

A pink peach appeared in her line of sight.

"Thank you!"

Yu Li said thanks in a weak, low voice, not daring to look up.

She took the peach from Cao Weiguo's hand, blushing.

"Sister Li!"

"I was impulsive this morning; don't take it too much to heart."

"Let's just be like we were before."

"We'll chat and laugh as usual."

"These peaches are best eaten right after being picked."

"You should eat a few more."

As Cao Weiguo spoke, he took peaches out of his net bag.

One, two, three!

This made Yu Li's mood complex, and it also made Yan Fugui's heart bloom with joy.

So many peaches!

Today, there's a treat in store!

"Sister Li! You're busy, I'm going home first!"

He put five peaches into Yu Li's basin in one go.

Cao Weiguo pushed his bicycle and left.

Only then did Yu Li look up, staring blankly at his retreating back.

"Eldest daughter-in-law!"

"See, I was right!"

"Visiting the Cao family often has its benefits."

"Otherwise, would Cao Weiguo be willing to give our family so many peaches?"

"Hey! These peaches are really big!"

"Just looking at the color, I know they must be sweet!"

Second Uncle Yan Fugui walked over with a smile.

He picked up a peach, cherishing it immensely.

"But why did Cao Weiguo only give five peaches?"

"There are seven people in our family and only five peaches!"

"This is hard to divide!"

"I have to calculate this carefully."

If it's not divided well, there's bound to be a fight.

"Cao Weiguo too, why didn't he leave a couple more!"

"Isn't this giving me a difficult problem and adding trouble to our family?"

"You're also not good at managing a household; you should have asked Cao Weiguo for two more."

"It would be so appropriate if everyone in our family had one."

"Seven people eating five peaches, it feels awkward no matter how you look at it."

Listening to her father-in-law's nagging, Yu Li felt somewhat irritated:

"Dad! He gave these peaches out of kindness, so stop being so picky."

"If you really think it's too few, go ask Cao Weiguo for two more yourself."

Yan Fugui was choked by this sudden retort and couldn't help but get angry:

"Eldest daughter-in-law, how are you talking?"

"Is that how you speak to your elder?"

Yu Li said unpleasantly: "I don't think there's anything wrong with what I said, is there?"

"Who takes someone's favor and then complains about them?"

"These five peaches are already quite a lot."

"The fact that our family has many people is our own business."

"There's no reason to complain about Cao Weiguo!"

"Is it appropriate for you to complain about people behind their backs like this?"

Yan Fugui was lectured by Yu Li, and his old face couldn't hold up.

The logic was sound.

But there was an order of seniority.

Since when was it your turn, a daughter-in-law, to lecture your father-in-law?

No sense of seniority!

"Yu Li! Watch your attitude!"

"I am your elder!" ===== CHAPTER 484 =====
