Chapter 695: A Bowl of Braised Pork

Nanluoguxiang

By the time Cao Weiguo returned to the courtyard, the sun had long since set.

Although it was late, he was in a good mood.

He had had a pleasant chat with Liang Ladi on the way.

Liang Ladi was strong-willed and sharp-tongued, raising four children on her own.

Although she was also good at calculating for herself and would use men's greed to achieve her goal of raising her children,

she wasn't like Qin Huairu, who only knew how to take, and she wasn't as selfish as Qin Huairu.

She had been returning to her parents' home to borrow grain when she accidentally fell into a ditch on the way.

Cao Weiguo felt some sympathy for Liang Ladi, and they had chatted well on the road.

But after all, it was a chance encounter, and they weren't very close.

So when they parted ways, Cao Weiguo didn't offer any grain.

It wasn't that he was stingy, but that they had only met once.

In this day and age, whose grain wasn't precious?

If you just met someone and offered them grain,

wouldn't they suspect your intentions?

It would likely lead to a misunderstanding!

That's not how you go about being a good person!

Furthermore, Cao Weiguo didn't consider himself a good person!

"Weiguo, you're back!"

"Let me give you a hand!"

"You've been quite busy lately!"

Yan Fugui helped lift the tricycle with a face full of smiles.

But this time, the cargo bed was completely empty.

He hadn't gotten anything.

Cao Weiguo thanked him while pushing the cart: "Sorry to trouble you again."

Yan Fugui rubbed his hands and smiled: "Weiguo! About the mutton, what do you think!"

Cao Weiguo quickly complained: "Teacher Yan! I really can't get any!"

"Look at me now!"

"Leaving early and returning late!"

"My legs are almost broken from running!"

"Have you seen me get any meat?"

"The work the leaders gave me is worrying me to death!"

"Please don't make things difficult for me!"

Yan Fugui smiled sheepishly: "Fine! I won't get in your way!"

Cao Weiguo got rid of Yan Fugui and pushed the tricycle inside.

Passing through the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu happened to be coming out of Sha Zhuzi's room.

She was holding a steaming bowl of braised pork.

"Director Cao is back!"

"You've been quite busy lately!"

"You're never home, you have to take care of yourself."

"Don't tire yourself out."

Qin Huairu spoke with a sarcastic tone after seeing Cao Weiguo.

Cao Weiguo said playfully: "The food looks good, no wonder you're looking more and more radiant."

Qin Huairu showed off the braised pork: "Zhuzi is warm-hearted and loyal, unlike some people, who are as cold as a stone."

Cao Weiguo walked over and smiled: "If a stone is cold, just warm it up and it'll get hot."

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes charmingly: "Pah! Who wants to warm a stone! It's cold and hard!"

Cao Weiguo said with a wicked smile: "Isn't it hot and hard?"

Qin Huairu blushed: "Shameless!"

"Qin Huairu!"

"You shameless slut!"

"What are you flirting about outside!"

"Get back here now!"

Qin Huairu and Cao Weiguo were getting more and more into their conversation.

Jia Zhangshi stormed out of the room with a fierce expression.

Her triangular eyes were as vicious as a wolf's.

It looked like she was about to pounce and bite someone!

This startled Qin Huairu, and she hurriedly walked home:

"Mom! What are you saying!"

"I was just saying a few words."

"It's not good if people hear you shouting like that."

Jia Zhangshi glared fiercely:

"What does a widow have to talk about with a man?"

"I think you're just cheap!"

"Flirting whenever you see a man!"

"You shameless thing!"

"If I weren't watching you, you'd probably be crawling under someone's crotch by now!"

Qin Huairu blushed with embarrassment and said in a fit of anger:

"Mom! That's enough!"

"I'm shameless?"

"If you keep talking nonsense like this,"

"then let's just go our separate ways!"

"Let's live our own lives!"

"And stay out of each other's way!"

When Qin Huairu got this upset, Jia Zhangshi immediately wilted.

She was just a parasite.

She didn't even know how to live without Qin Huairu.

How could she bear to go her separate ways from Qin Huairu?

"What are you shouting about!"

"Qin Huairu, your temper is growing!"

"Did you find a backer and now you look down on our Jia family?"

"Don't forget whose house you're living in and whose job you have!"

"I advise you to behave yourself and don't let me catch you in the act."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for giving you a pair of worn-out shoes!"

After leaving a harsh threat, Jia Zhangshi returned to the room with a gloomy face.

Qin Huairu was trembling with anger, her teeth itching.

Turning her head, she found Cao Weiguo still standing there watching the show.

"What are you looking at! You cold-hearted stone!" ===== CHAPTER 697 =====
