Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work Chapter 151: Hidden Motives

Huang Xiaobao, with a "Bao" in the na, you can imagine how pampered he was at ho. Huang Xiaobao grew up being spoiled by the whole family. He doesn’t even recognize all the kinds of vegetables, let alone work in the kitchen.

"Do you know what you’re doing? These leaves can be eaten too, you’ve picked them off, are we just going to eat the stems?"

"Bang—" The crisp sound of porcelain shattering on the ground.

"I-I’m sorry, ah—" Huang Xiaobao apologized in a panic before crying out in pain.

"Can you just wait to eat outside? You’re not helping at all." Ding Anmin finally couldn’t take it anymore, and shouted lightly at the enthusiastic and generous, but slightly troubleso, Huang Xiaobao whom she only t once. After all, he bought a lot of good things, so she couldn’t truly scold him.

His slick, shiny hairstyle was now sowhat ssy, his clothes were stained with so water, and his right index finger was bleeding from a cut from the shattered porcelain bowl. Huang Xiaobao walked out of the kitchen looking unhappy and slightly aggrieved.

Yi Roujing was sitting in the yard, constantly observing Huang Xiaobao. She thought he had other motives.

"What are you looking at?" Ding Ancheng moved the dining table into the yard. Seeing his wife staring intently at a man, he walked directly in front of Yi Roujing to block her view.

"Anguo, once you finish polishing the bicycle, go help Anmin. Although a slight scratch on the arm won’t affect cooking, one person is still too busy to manage." Yi Roujing reminded as she saw Ding Anguo had already polished the bicycle to a shine.

"Okay, sister-in-law." Ding Anguo replied imdiately.

"Anguo, I’ll help you. Even if I don’t know what to do, I’ll watch and learn, so I can help next ti." Huang Xiaobao hurriedly caught up to Ding Anguo as he headed to the kitchen.

Next ti, Yi Roujing understood.

"Anguo’s colleague is very enthusiastic." Xia Xingchen ca out with bowls and chopsticks for setting up, and said with a smile, "But it looks like he hasn’t done chores at ho, he doesn’t know anything."

"Sister-in-law, did that person et Anmin?" Xia Xingchen whispered to Yi Roujing after placing the dishes.

"It looks like it’s the first ti Anmin is eting him, but yesterday Anmin was waiting for Anguo outside the county governnt gate after work, maybe his colleague saw her then." Yi Roujing revealed.

"Is that person here for Anmin?" Xia Xingchen whispered.

"Very suspicious." Yi Roujing agreed.

Ding Ancheng was listening to their murmurs nearby, but he heard everything they said. Although Anguo might not have noticed yet, he realized Huang Xiaobao’s intentions the mont he saw him, deducing that he focused all his attention to quickly notice Anmin’s injury.

Looking at his attire, he seed unreliable, but once inside, his behavior was very appropriate. He didn’t dare get too close, yet couldn’t stand seeing Anmin busy alone. Regardless, Ding Ancheng’s first impression was still quite good.

Yi Weiliang returned a little late, but had a big smile on his face when he entered.

"Little sis." Upon seeing Yi Roujing sitting in the yard, Yi Weiliang imdiately called out, unable to contain the excitent of sharing good news.

"Little sis, Master Niu... Director Niu said that the transportation departnt is recruiting two people, apprentices, and asked if I had recomndations. I ntioned our eldest and second brother, and Director Niu agreed. Even if both can’t join, one should definitely make it." Yi Weiliang said excitedly.

"Really?" Yi Roujing was genuinely pleased.

"Whether it’s the eldest brother or the second brother, I plan to move back into the workers’ dormitory at the factory once they’re here." Yi Weiliang said bashfully, "Anmin and Xingchen both aren’t married yet, it’s not suitable for us all to live together."

These days, Yi Weiliang had been sleeping well and eating well at the Ding family house. Initially, he didn’t mind, especially since Ding Anguo also lived with them.

However, since he worked at the sa factory as Ding Anmin, she often went to the transportation departnt to find him after work, and then they went to the workers’ hospital together to wait for Yi Roujing.

Colleagues from the transportation departnt often remarked he’s lucky, always having pretty girls visit him. Though it’s a joke, it spread around, which wasn’t good for Ding Anmin’s reputation. So even said nonsense, suggesting matchmaking opportunities.

This was just concerning Ding Anmin. With Xia Xingchen, there’s even less relation. She’s already in a relationship, and it’s inappropriate for him as an unmarried man to stay. Once the eldest or second brother arrives, it would be even worse, since Ding Weihuo and Li Hongying weren’t regular residents. This coming and going would definitely start gossip.

"There’s nothing unsuitable about it." Ding Anmin brought out so dishes and refuted Yi Weiliang’s words, "Don’t take others’ words seriously. Our house has so many rooms; even if both brothers-in-law co, there’s still space."

"I’ve seen the workers’ dormitory at the factory, with so many people squeezed into a room, with kitchenware piled everywhere. The girls’ dorms are relatively clean, but the guys’ are more ssy. That place is hardly livable."

"Anmin is right." Xia Xingchen echoed, "Back at the brigade, the educated youth dormitory was also co-ed in one courtyard, just different rooms."

"Third brother, if you really feel restrained, living with us at the County First Middle School is also an option." Ding Ancheng suggested.

Yi Weiliang was still concerned about other issues, intending to speak further when he noticed Huang Xiaobao coming out of the kitchen, quickly silencing himself, realizing there were guests at ho.

"Let’s talk after dinner." Yi Weiliang said to change the topic.

Today’s guest, Ding Anmin, cooked excellent dishes, especially after seeing the gifts Huang Xiaobao brought for her family. Reluctance lted away.

Dried chicken stew with potatoes, stir-fried wild rice stem with preserved venison, these two main dishes were impressive. Additionally, she made winter lon minced at soup, fried so eggs, prepared several cold mixed vegetables, and stir-fried sweet potato leaves, completing the al.

Originally planning to make sweet potato dried rice, Ding Anmin changed her mind after seeing the malted milk and other items and decided a colleague of her second brother deserved pure white rice.

"Anmin, your cooking is really delicious." Huang Xiaobao praised each dish while laying the groundwork for his next al, "But today I didn’t taste Anguo’s cooking. Next ti, I must try it."

"By the way, Mr. Huang, how old are you?" Yi Roujing asked.

"I’m twenty, just had my birthday days ago." Huang Xiaobao answered humbly.

"Mr. Huang, you’re quite close with our Anguo, aren’t you?" Yi Roujing smiled, "Our Anguo has a straightforward personality, so I hope you colleagues take good care of him at work."

"Don’t worry, sister-in-law. Our unit’s leaders and colleagues all like Anguo. He’s capable and diligent. Many from other departnts like him too." Huang Xiaobao replied with a smile, speaking sincerely and humbly. Ding Anguo found it odd, given the stark contrast to his usual deanor at the unit.
