"A sweater can almost cost a month’s salary, only Su Ling in our class can afford it. Hey, do you know, Mr. Li is very close to Su Ling," Yin Peibai whispered into Lin Wan’s ear.
"Oh..." People in the class said that Li Liang would stay with their class for a few more months. Li Liang and Su Ling were getting close, which Lin Wan knew better than Yin Peibai.
"At first, I thought he was interested in you. But it turns out, Mr. Li is quite affectionate. Do you think they might...?"
"Why bother about others? Even if sothing happens, we can’t do anything about it."
So things can only be understood on your own. She used to think about reminding Su Ling, but hesitated and decided not to say anything. Sotis, others may not appreciate your good intentions.
It’s already April, and as the weather was about to warm up, these past few days suddenly beca cloudy. Yesterday, strong winds blew, and by afternoon today, snowflakes began to fall.
Lin Wan had sold most of the remaining sweaters she had on hand.
This April snow was quite heavy, accumulating over a dozen centiters.
The business at the hot pot restaurant improved due to the weather in the past couple of days.
This past month, busy with knitting sweaters, she hadn’t paid much attention to the shop. Now that she’s free, she suddenly noticed that recently Ye Qing and her mom have grown much closer. What’s going on?
"Xiao Wan, has there been any news from Xiao Yi? It’s been more than a month, right? Has the mission lasted this long? The team leadership should at least give the family a hint about whether he’s safe or not," Liang Hongi was starting to regret letting her daughter marry a soldier. They’ve been married so long, but barely spent any days together. Let alone her, as the mother-in-law.
"No news is good news, Mom. I’ll keep an eye out," Lin Wan was also worried previously, but now she’s co to terms with it. All she can do is wait peacefully.
"Sigh, it really makes you worry."
"Aunt, you don’t need to worry. Brother-in-law Han Yi is blessed and will co back safely," Ye Qing unexpectedly appeared from sowhere, gently patted Liang Hongi’s shoulder, and comforted her by holding her arm.
This series of intimate gestures was even more natural than what Lin Wan would do. Why was Ye Qing trying to please her mom like this? It made Lin Wan tense inside.
"Mom, how does Ye Qing know Han Yi?" After Ye Qing left, Lin Wan quickly pulled Liang Hongi aside and asked softly.
"Well? Xiaoqing ca back from ho, visited once, and your little grandmother and uncle said they had a great year selling noodle sheets, earning a lot, and brought us plenty of stuff, asking Xiaoqing to help bring them over. Aren’t there a few photos of you and Han Yi at ho? Xiaoqing saw them and asked a bit. You wouldn’t know, Xiaoqing kept praising you both for a while, saying Xiao Yi looks good. She should consider who she’s comnting on; had it not been for Xiao Yi’s looks and good nature, I wouldn’t have let you marry a soldier rarely at ho."
"Mom, from now on, you and brother, please don’t get too close to Ye Qing. I don’t like her. Also, if she asks anything about and Han Yi, just say you don’t know," Lin Wan said coldly, very firmly.
"What’s gotten into you, child? Weren’t the two of you playing well together back ho before? Did you have a falling out?" Liang Hongi only now realized that Xiao Wan and Xiaoqing weren’t as close as they used to be. "Is it because when you were ho, they secretly learned about us selling rice dumplings, and you’re mad at her?"
