Jiang Tingxia's eyes were red and Li Changpu frowned coldly.

Zhang Hongxiang, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and deeply regretted entering his yard. If she had known, she should have gone straight home with the basket. Now she encountered the young couple quarreling, it was not easy for her to just leave, nor was it appropriate to just watch. So, she had to persuade them to stop fighting.

Zhang Hongxiang quickly said, "Captain Li, if you have anything to say, please talk to me."

In fact, Zhang Hongxiang had already reminded Jiang Tingxia to take it easy when shopping, but she didn't listen. Life is difficult for everyone now, and every family is tightening their belts to make ends meet. Jiang Tingxia, on the other hand, spends more in a day than other families spend in a month. No wonder Li Changpu's face was as cold as ice.

Zhang Hongxiang had long guessed that the couple next door would have another quarrel over this, but if they wanted to quarrel, they should at least wait until she and Yang Jinfeng, the outsiders, left and closed the door before quarreling. It would be tiring for her to mediate.

Zhang Hong smiled and said jokingly, "I heard that Miss Xia just got married and is still like a child. It was her first time visiting our big market. Everything looked new to her. She bought a little here and a little there. I don't know how she ended up buying all these things."

She lifted the basket in her hand and saw that it was also full. "Look, I was the same. I said I was going to buy some cotton and came back. Who knew that the goods today were so good and cheap? When I heard what they said, I would be at a loss if I didn't buy them. In the end, my pockets were completely empty."

Zhang Hongxiang tried to help Jiang Tingxia out of the predicament by teasing herself.

Yang Jinfeng secretly complained in her heart that Zhang Hongxiang was just nosy, jumping out for no reason, trying to smooth things over and even speaking well of Jiang Tingxia.

Fearing that Li Changpu would be persuaded, Yang Jinfeng quickly added fuel to the fire, "Yes, these things combined are almost as heavy as Xia Meizi's small body. I was afraid that she would be crushed, so I helped to send them back. Brother Li, please don't be angry about this."

When Yang Jinfeng said this, she emphasized the words "heavy" particularly, trying to anger Li Changpu.

Li Changpu was completely confused. He felt that the three women were talking very fast and closely. He, a grown man, stood aside and couldn't even get a word in. He waited until the three women had finished speaking before he spoke, "We just got married and our family is short of everything. We had already agreed to go to town in two days to get everything, but I was busy with work and didn't have time."

Jiang Tingxia's identity is special. Although some information has been concealed for her, there is no wall that is impenetrable. Some people have been calling her a capitalist lady behind her back. Li Changpu has to be cautious. He said this just to push the blame on himself and point out to everyone directly that it was he who ordered Jiang Tingxia to buy so many things. In this way, if others want to criticize his family for having problems with eating, drinking and enjoying themselves, they can come to him.

How could Yang Jinfeng believe this? Jiang Tingxia bought whatever she saw when she was shopping, very casually. It seemed as if they had discussed it in advance. At this moment, Li Changpu was clearly covering up for her. Yang Jinfeng's nails dug deeply into her palms, and she felt angry and jealous inside.

She was the one who should have married Brother Li. If it weren't for that damn engagement, she would have become his wife. So at this moment, he should be protecting her, Yang Jinfeng, instead of Jiang Tingxia, who has nothing good except her looks.

Zhang Hongxiang believed Li Changpu's words without a doubt, "Oh, so you two have discussed this. That's not surprising. In the past, Captain Li was able to feed the whole family by himself. We lived in the dormitory and ate in the cafeteria. Now it's different. We have a family now. We have to prepare everything, including rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea."

Zhang Hongxiang was relieved to see that the two did not quarrel over this matter. She said a few words and hurriedly went home with the basket. "Okay, I'm going home too. The children are waiting for dinner at home."

Zhang Hongxiang left, and Yang Jinfeng had no reason to stay. She was unwilling to accept the failure of her attempt to sow discord, so she pretended to leave and said to Jiang Tingxia, "By the way, sister Tingxia, I will come over to make you glutinous rice balls tomorrow. I promise you will have a bite of warm rice balls to satisfy your craving."

After saying that, Yang Jinfeng secretly observed Li Changpu's reaction. Li Changpu didn't like to eat those sweet and greasy things, so Jiang Tingxia must want to eat these dumplings. How could there be such an ignorant woman in the world? Glutinous rice flour is such a precious thing, not to mention the lard, sugar, sesame, peanuts and other stuffings. It's not a festival, and the men in the family don't like to eat this, but she is greedy, even more greedy than a child.

A greedy woman will be despised. Let's put it this way: if the husband's family sends the greedy daughter-in-law back to her parents' home, her parents will never dare to say anything and will be scolded for this greedy daughter.

She deliberately brought up this matter in front of Li Changpu to let Li Changpu know that this woman was not worthy of being his wife. If it were her, she would put Brother Li first, do the housework, be thrifty, and be a wife that would satisfy him.

Which of these things could Jiang Tingxia do? She was just a fool who couldn't even light a fire or cook!

But Li Changpu didn't react at all.

Yang Jinfeng was unwilling to give up and wanted to stay a little longer. She stopped her steps and deliberately said, "I forgot. Listen to Sister Xia, we have to soak the red beans today, otherwise they won't be soft when cooked tomorrow and won't taste good."

As she said this, she was about to pick up the bag of red beans that she had just taken off her body.

Jiang Tingxia felt that Yang Jinfeng was too enthusiastic, which made her feel a little embarrassed, so she quickly stopped her and said, "No need, Sister Jinfeng, I can do these things myself."

Yang Jinfeng smiled and said, "You are not a hard worker. You are not like us country girls. We do this kind of work every day and are used to it. It's not a big deal for us."

Similarly, being unable to work is not a good word.

Different living environments shape different values. Jiang Tingxia really didn't hear the hidden meaning of Yang Jinfeng's words, and took the bag first, "Sister Jinfeng, how can I let you do this."

Yang Jinfeng was still feeling smug the last second. She thought Jiang Tingxia was such a fool. She was mocking her for not being able to work, but she didn't hear anything. She even looked grateful to her, thinking that she was doing it for her own good.

But she couldn't laugh anymore the next second. She saw Li Changpu took the bag of red beans very naturally and said, "Let me do it."

Jiang Tingxia naturally handed the bag to the man, shook her arms coquettishly, then waved to signal Li Changpu to lean over, then leaned close to him intimately, whispering something in his ear.

However, Yang Jinfeng could never have guessed that the scene that made her envious and jealous was actually...

Jiang Tingxia: "Can this glutinous rice dumpling still be eaten? Will it have a bad influence? How about I tell Sister Jinfeng now that she doesn't need to come to help tomorrow?"

Li Changpu saw that her eyes were clear and she was looking at him expectantly. This cunning little fox was clearly retreating in order to advance.

All she said were rhetorical questions.

They are all rhetorical questions that are asked against one's will.

I obviously want to eat it very much.

Li Changpu said in a businesslike tone, "It's not that serious yet. A bite of food won't have any impact."

This is what He Jiangting Xia meant.

As if he had imagined the sweet and soft taste of the glutinous rice balls in his mouth, Jiang Tingxia couldn't help swallowing his saliva and whispered again, "Is it really edible?"

Li Changpu found it a little funny. She looked like a meowing kitten waiting to be fed. He said firmly, "It's edible."

Jiang Tingxia said to him with a smile, "Okay, remember to soak the red beans. I'll go see Sister Jin Feng off."

When the two were talking, Jiang Tingxia deliberately turned sideways and used his palms to cover their faces. Yang Jinfeng had no idea what they were talking about. She only saw Li Changpu bending down and getting close to Jiang Tingxia's head. The two were very close...

Yang Jinfeng was so angry that her teeth were itching. She didn't want to watch any more and turned around and walked out of the yard.

However, these two people seemed to want to make things more difficult for her and followed her out the door.
