The next day.

Lin Xi had just finished cleaning the house.

When I was about to teach Fu Ning a lesson, there was a knock on the door.

She thought it was Zhao Yufen from next door, so she said, "Sister-in-law, the gate is not closed, just come in."

Sang Xiao: ???

Did Lin Xi know that she was coming?

Did Lao Qin say hello to Xiao Fu?

She pushed the door open doubtfully.

The moment their eyes met Lin Xi's, they were both visibly stunned.

Sang Xiao didn't expect Lin Xi to be as beautiful as a fairy in the sky.

Lin Xi didn't expect that the person looking at her yard gate would be a strange sister-in-law.

She was stunned for a moment, then hurried over and said, "Sister-in-law, you are..."

"My husband is Qin Wei. He came to your house for dinner a few days ago. My name is Sang Xiao. Can I come in?"

"Sure, sure!" Lin Xi hurriedly invited Sang Xiao in.

"I wanted to come see you before, but I was afraid of disturbing you, so I waited for you outside the staff quarters for a few days. I didn't expect you to stay at home even longer than I did. Oh, by the way, this is a little gift from me." Sang Xiao said as she handed the can of fruit in her hand to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi: ???

"Sister-in-law, you are here now. What are you bringing? You can take this back later. I don't want it."

"Here you go, just keep it."

Sang Xiao forced the can of fruit in her hand into Lin Xi's hand.

"I know Xiao Zhou must have mentioned it to you, and I know I won't get any good words from him, but I really want to make friends with you."

Without waiting for Lin Xi to speak, Sang Xiao continued: "You must be curious about why I want to be friends with you, right?"

Lin Xi smiled and said, "A little bit indeed."

"Because you are Fu Huaichuan's wife."

Lin Xi: “…” This answer is not surprising at all.

"You don't seem surprised at all. That's right. Many people in the family compound should be curious about you because you are Fu Huaichuan's wife, right?"

“That’s why I don’t like going out very much.”

Although Lin Xi doesn't care what others think of her, it doesn't mean that she likes others to watch and observe her as a hot news figure.

At the same time, she was also explaining to Sang Xiao why she had not gone out in the past few days.

Sang Xiao said with an expression that showed she understood: "I have always had a good impression of Fu Huaichuan."

"In my eyes, he is a very capable man who knows exactly what he wants. It doesn't seem right to say that. Anyway, I think a woman who can be favored by Fu Huaichuan is definitely not simple, but at the same time, she is also worth making friends with. I also know that you are a very good cook and have a lot of knowledge... Anyway, I just want to make friends with you, but I also know that I don't have a good reputation in the family compound, but that was intentional because I was afraid of trouble."

Sang Xiao didn't know what nonsense she was talking about. Anyway, she just kept talking nonsense, and the more she talked, the more confused she became and the angrier she became with herself.

Finally, he said directly: "Just tell me whether you want to be friends with me or not. If you don't want to be friends with me, I will leave now."

Lin Xi had heard Weekend talk about Sang Xiao before.

In Weekend's eyes, Sang Xiao is an arrogant person who likes to be scornful.

But just now today, she suddenly saw something ridiculous in Sang Xiao.

So, he suppressed his laughter and said, "I thought we were already friends."

"Then I'll leave...ah? Do you admit that I'm your friend?" Lin Xi nodded and said, "Yes."

"Really?"

Sang Xiao looked incredulous.

"Even if it's fake, it's too late now. If I had known you were so easy to talk to, I should have just knocked on your door. I was so drunk that I imagined and planned many scenarios of running into you and getting to know you... I was originally planning to eavesdrop today, but it was Lao Qin who reminded me to just knock on the door and come in..."

Without waiting for Lin Xi to speak, Sang Xiao said to Fu Ning very enthusiastically: "You are Ningning, right?"

Fu Ning was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Xi hesitantly, and shouted, "Hello, sister!"

Sang Xiao was so happy when he called her "sister".

She turned to Lin Xi and said, "I've heard that Ningning is a smart kid before. Now I see that it's true. But Xixi, you must admit, Ningning is really pretty. Your family of handsome men and beautiful women is really pleasing to the eyes."

As Sang Xiao spoke, she searched her pockets, finally took out five dollars and stuffed it into Fu Ning's hand, scaring Fu Ning so much that he stepped back repeatedly.

Seeing this, Sang Xiao said, "Ningning, I don't have anything else to give you. Please accept this five dollars as a gift from me. I tell you, I'm very rich. This five dollars is really nothing. Xixi, please let Ningning accept it quickly, otherwise I will be angry."

Lin Xi: "..."

"How can you just stuff money into someone's hands as soon as you meet them? And you're putting so much money in one go. You're putting a lot of pressure on us."

"Why should I be so stressed? I have a lot of money and I want to give it to Ningning. Don't you believe me? I usually work part-time as a translator and earn a lot every month, so these five dollars are really nothing. You should let Ningning take it. I don't have anything else to give to Ningning, but I really want to express my love for Ningning. Xixi, if you really treat me as a friend, just let Ningning take it!"

"Ningning, since this money is what your sister really wants to give you, then just accept it!"

"Ah? But Xixi, this money is a bit too much. I don't dare to take it. Sister, how about you give me a penny?"

Fu Ning looked at the five dollars in Sang Xiao's hand and hesitated for a long time, but in the end he didn't dare to accept it.

Lin Xi: "How about you change these five yuan into fifty cents?"

"Isn't this a little too little?"

Sang Xiao always felt that not enough money could express her true feelings.

But because Fu Ning insisted on not giving it up, she finally changed the five yuan in her hand into fifty cents.

Fu Ning had been around Lin Xi for a while and had learned the importance of courtesy and reciprocity. As soon as he received the money, he said, "Xixi, we don't have anything good to give to this beautiful sister. How about we give her the kimchi you made and the remaining can of Chinese toon sprout sauce?"

"Okay, then go to the kitchen and get it for my sister."

"Ok."

Fu Ning immediately got up and went to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Sang Xiao's eyes lit up and she said, "I've heard that you're a good cook before, but I didn't expect to have such an unexpected reward when I came to your house today. Xixi, let me tell you, I love eating kimchi, but unfortunately I'm a kitchen killer, and the food I make is simply not edible. I didn't expect to have such a good time now..."

"If you like it, come back to my house and get more after you finish eating it!"

"Don't worry, I won't be polite with you. I heard that you have to teach Ningning every day, so can I sit in on the class later?"

Without waiting for Lin Xi to speak, Sang Xiao continued, "Although I am a college graduate, I really don't know how to teach our two children, so I want to learn from you. Besides, we have to find a topic to talk about, otherwise it will be so awkward to be friends."

"In addition to teaching children to read, I think we will also have a lot to talk about in translation!"
