BXBX NOVEL Chapter 181 - 181 Chapter 180, Bruise
There was a bruise on Hu Chunli’s face, right below her eye!
In order to avoid embarrassment, Li Xu quickly turned her head away and pretended not to have seen it.
Hu Chunli wore a mask for the first time. It was most likely to cover up the bruise on her face.
!!
Hu Chunli had always loved to look beautiful. Even in winter, she would wear a skirt and coat.
As a woman, Li Xu could understand.
However, Li Xu’s actions were a little obvious.
Hu Chunli explained, “I accidentally knocked it last night. I was afraid that people would misunderstand, so I wore a mask.”
As she spoke, Hu Chunli forcefully pulled Yang Jingyi’s hand. “Let’s go. It’s time for us to go home and eat.”
Yang Jingyi still wanted to struggle, but when Ji Yuanyuan saw this, she quickly advised, “Jingyi, hurry home. I have to go home to eat too. After we finish eating, you can come and play with me again!”
After hearing Ji Yuanyuan’s words, Yang Jingyi reluctantly waved her hand and followed Hu Chunli home.
Looking at Hu Chunli’s back, Li Xu sighed helplessly.
When would Jingyi learn some things?
Why did she seem to be more impatient with Hu Chunli recently?
She knew that children loved to play. If they were to be suppressed all the time, it was inevitable that they would be rebellious.
However, Yang Jingyi’s situation…
Hu Chunli couldn’t help but look at her carefully!
When she returned home, Zhang Kun had already prepared lunch.
When washing the dishes, the more Li Xu thought about it, the more she felt that there was something wrong with Hu Chunli’s reaction.
If she had really accidentally knocked it down, wasn’t Hu Chunli’s reaction a little too extreme?
Could it be that she fought with Yang Jingyi’s father?
With this thought in mind, Li Xu began to feel uneasy.
After dinner, Yang Jingyi came over with a small backpack on her back.
Other than books, there were only snacks in the backpack.
Zhang Kun helped her get a stool, and the two of them lay on Ji Yuanyuan’s desk, writing their homework.
Yang Jingyi had skipped a grade because of her illness, and there were many things that she could not keep up with. So it was basically Ji Yuanyuan who tutored her.
Li Xu was on the sofa in the living room. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
In the end, she could not help herself. She went to the kitchen to wash a few fruits, put them on a plate, and carried them to Ji Yuanyuan’s bedroom.
After entering the door, she placed the fruits on the desk and said gently, “You’ve been studying for a long time. Take a break and eat some fruits!”
Yang Jingyi was originally frowning, but when she heard Li Xu say she could take a break, she immediately became happy.
She took a peach from the plate and thanked Li Xu sweetly, “Thank you, Auntie. The peach is really sweet.”
Li Xu reached out and rubbed Yang Jingyi’s little head. “If you like it, bring a few when you leave later. Let your parents have a taste too!”
Yang Jingyi didn’t act shy and directly nodded, “Okay!”
Li Xu looked at Yang Jingyi’s little face and paused for a moment before asking, “Jingyi, why don’t I see your Dad pick you up? Is your Dad very busy?”
Yang Jingyi answered naively, “Yes, my Dad is very busy. He doesn’t have much time to spend with me.”
Li Xu nodded thoughtfully. “Then, your Dad is so busy. Will your Mom fight with him?”
Yang Jingyi shook her head. “Not at all. My Mom said that my Dad doesn’t come home often because he wants to earn money. She won’t fight with my Dad!”
Hearing Yang Jingyi’s words, Li Xu heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.
Perhaps she just overthinking?
She got up and walked out of the door, encouraging the two of them, “Study hard!”
After Li Xu walked out, Yang Jingyi leaned over to Ji Yuanyuan’s ear and whispered softly, “Your Mom is so strange. Just now, she asked us to rest for a while, and now she wants us to study quickly!”
Ji Yuanyuan naturally knew the reason why Li Xu came in.
Li Xu and Hu Chunli only exchanged a few words, and she could tell something was wrong with the other party.
They had come back with Hu Chunli all the way today, so she had long noticed something was wrong with the other party.
“Your father and mother really don’t have a fight?” Ji Yuanyuan did not answer Yang Jingyi but asked instead.
Yang Jingyi looked at Ji Yuanyuan in surprise. “It’s true. Why would I lie to you?”
“Then how did your mom hit her face?” Ji Yuanyuan asked again.
“I don’t know either. It was fine when I went to school this morning, but it turned blue after school at noon. My Mom said that she accidentally fell while cleaning at home.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded thoughtfully and reached out to pat Yang Jingyi’s arm, “Hurry up and eat. We’ll continue studying after eating. Don’t say you’re my friend if you’re at the bottom of the exam this time.”
Hearing this, Yang Jingyi finished the remaining peaches with a bitter face in two or three bites. After throwing the peaches into the trash can, she followed Ji Yuanyuan to do her homework.
Early the next morning, Zhang Kun and Li Xu woke up almost at the same time.
One went to work, and the other went to the shop.
Li Xu’s shop hadn’t opened for a few days. If it didn’t open soon, all the customers would run away.
She had already made an appointment with the driver. The driver went directly to the shed at one o’clock in the afternoon.
...
Anyway, the driver had been there twice and already recognized the way.
She did not need to follow him back. It would save her the trouble of going back and forth.
This batch of cucumbers was more than half ripe. The driver did not manage to take them all on one trip. He only managed to take them all in two trips.
However, this batch of cucumbers weighed nearly 10,000 pounds. It filled Li Xu’s shop to the brim.
Li Xu and the driver unloaded the cucumbers until six o’clock before they managed to unload everything.
After paying the driver, the sky was already completely dark.
Li Xu brought Ji Yuanyuan into the shop and closed the curtains from the inside. The two of them began to move the cucumbers into the space.
They moved the cucumbers until it was past six thirty.
Ji Yuanyuan didn’t do much work and was already very tired. She looked at Li Xu again. Her face was covered in sweat.
Li Xu panted heavily and said in a low voice, “No, this is too risky. If we have money next year, we have to rent cold storage.”
It was the same every time. They could only enter and not leave, which might arouse suspicion.
...
Not to mention the others, even Zhang Kun might find something wrong.
Now that the start-up funds were available, it was better to use less of Yuanyuan’s space in the future.
With this thought in mind, Li Xu hurriedly pulled Ji Yuanyuan home. “Let’s go home quickly. I’m afraid your Uncle Zhang will be back soon.”
When she got home, she washed her face and began to cook for the children.
As soon as she started cooking, Zhang Kun entered the door.
Seeing Li Xu cooking, he asked surprisedly, “You haven’t eaten yet?”
“Yes, I’ve been busy loading and unloading the goods this afternoon. I haven’t had time to cook yet,” Said Li Xu.
“Are you hungry?” Zhang Kun rolled up his sleeves and looked at Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head, “When I came back from school, I ate some cookies, I’m not hungry now.”
