Chapter 295 I Won't Be Satisfied If I Don't Read It
They bought two pieces of fabric and headed home.
Zhuang Qingxiang went back and told Lu Congyue, who smiled and said, "I'm off on Sunday and will stay home to look after the kids. You and her can go shopping again."
Zhuang Qingxiang hated being riddle-like: "Why can't you just tell me what you want to do? I'm not going to ruin your plans."
"It's hard to say since it's not all arranged yet. We'll try our luck on Sunday and let you know then," Lu Congyue reassured him.
These past few days, Li Weixing has been quite unruly, and Xiao Yu, Li Weixing's most trusted subordinate, has gone to Dongya Village again.
His constant petty tricks are really annoying. Hopefully, things will get tough for Li Weixing after Sunday.
Sunday arrived in the blink of an eye. Zhuang Qingxiang handed her three children over to Lu Congyue to take care of, and went out shopping with Jin Guilan.
Jin Guilan didn't take care of her grandson today either. It's Sunday, so her son and daughter-in-law are on holiday and have time to take care of the child themselves, which makes things easier for her.
Instead of going to the Second Department Store this time, Zhuang Qingxiang said that the sun was shining today, so they would go for a walk in the park.
Jin Guilan hadn't been to a park for many years and wasn't really interested, but she didn't want to offend Zhuang Qingxiang, so she thought she might as well go for a stroll.
Zhuang Qingxiang led her onto the bus, and after getting off at the stop, they walked a short distance before suddenly stopping: "Sister Jin, am I seeing things? Isn't that your cousin's daughter?"
Jin Guilan glanced at it, then squinted, scrutinized it carefully, and nodded: "It really does seem to be Lili. What's she doing here? Did she run away from home again?"
"Sister Jin, let's go take a look. She's a young girl who came all the way to the provincial capital without seeking refuge with you. We can't let anything happen to her," Zhuang Qingxiang advised.
Jin Guilan nodded and quickened her pace to catch up.
Just as they were about to catch up, Jin Lili suddenly disappeared.
Just as Jin Guilan was about to call out, Zhuang Qingxiang pulled her back: "It seems she turned into an alley. Don't call out, let's go find her. There will be a lot of people around on the weekend, don't let people laugh at us."
"That's true, you've thought of everything." Jin Guilan said with a smile.
Soon, the two saw Jin Lili again, and then they saw her enter a small courtyard.
Jin Guilan's brows furrowed instantly.
A country girl had only this one relative in the provincial capital, but after arriving there, instead of seeking refuge with her, she ended up in this tiny courtyard...
This is going to be a mistake.
Jin Guilan looked unwell.
A woman's reputation is so important; if people find out, Jin Lili's life is over.
Ignoring everything else, Jin Guilan rushed over directly.
Zhuang Qingxiang hurriedly followed, afraid that she might get too excited and cause something to happen.
Just at the entrance of the courtyard, Jin Guilan suddenly stopped abruptly, and Zhuang Qingxiang almost bumped into him.
Just as Zhuang Qingxiang was about to ask her what was wrong, she heard two people talking through the half-closed door.
"Uncle, you haven't come to see me for days. I miss you so much."
"I've been a bit busy lately."
"Don't forget me no matter how busy you are! I've missed you so much these past few days. Do you miss me?"
Jin Guilan's face was visibly pale. Zhuang Qingxiang took her hand and asked softly, "Sister Jin, what's wrong?"
Jin Guilan trembled slightly.
She recognized Li Weixing's voice immediately after being married to him for so many years.
Inside the door, the man with Jin Lili was actually him?
How dare he?!
"Sister Jin?" Zhuang Qingxiang called out in a low voice, puzzled, and reached out to push the door open.
Jin Guilan snapped back to her senses, grabbed her hand that was about to push the door open, and shook her head at her.
Zhuang Qingxiang peeked through the crack in the door, her expression changed drastically, and she took a few steps back.
Jin Guilan's head was buzzing instantly.
The crack in the door is right there. If she sees through it, how can we continue living like this?
She wasn't willing to not watch.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Jin Guilan still peeked through the crack in the door and saw Jin Lili and Li Weixing hugging and kissing tightly.
Jin Guilan gritted her teeth and raised her foot to kick the door.
At this moment, the two separated, and she heard Jin Lili say coquettishly, "Uncle, can you arrange another job for me?"
For some reason, Jin Guilan suddenly remembered Jin Lili's sister-in-law, whom she had seen a few days ago at the Second Department Store.
She didn't know what she was thinking, but she stopped and just endured it, watching and listening to the two people in the courtyard.
"Arrange a job? Jin Lili, didn't I already arrange one for you? Isn't working at the Second Department Store good enough?" Li Weixing's tone was somewhat unfriendly.
"Uncle..." Jin Lili immediately hugged Li Weixing and acted coquettishly, "Isn't my sister-in-law doing that job now? I'm too embarrassed to kick her out... Could you arrange an easier job for me?"
Li Weixing grew impatient and shoved her aside: "Jin Lili, don't push your luck. I've already arranged jobs for your dad and brother, and I've arranged one for you too. Your job was the best, and you gave it to your sister-in-law without even asking. What? Do you think I'm some kind of wishing well? You think I have to give you whatever you want?"
When Jin Lili saw him lose his temper, she quickly went to coax him, but Li Weixing pushed her away again.
"Jin Lili, don't push your luck. I've already arranged your work. I don't owe you anything. It's your business if you want to give your work to someone else, but it's wrong of you to come asking me for work again. Alright, hurry up and go to the kitchen to cook. I have things to do after I finish eating."
When Jin Lili heard him say that he wasn't going to arrange work for her, she immediately panicked.
The job at the Second Department Store was non-refundable; she gave it to me readily and never intended to ask for it back.
No matter what, she has to get another job from Li Weixing.
"Oh dear, why rush to cook?" she giggled, pulling at Li Weixing's belt. "Let's go inside and play for a bit before cooking! Uncle, I know you've had enough of Auntie and don't want to touch her. You've been holding back these past few days, haven't you? Let me help you cool down..."
She knew how to coax Li Weixing, and while talking, she touched and pulled Li Weixing into the house.
Jin Guilan, standing outside the courtyard gate, was already spitting fire in her eyes.
She had no idea that her cousin was involved in brothel affairs.
Judging from her appearance just now, even the most notorious shady characters from before the liberation would have to become her apprentices!
What angered and saddened her the most was Jin Lili's statement that Li Weixing disdained to touch her and didn't even want to see her.
Although she and Li Weixing haven't had much marital activity in recent years, this is a private matter between them. Why should Jin Lili bring it up?!
Jin Guilan was furious and reached out to push the door open.
Zhuang Qingxiang suddenly stepped in to stop her.
"Xiao Zhuang!" Jin Guilan glared at her, her eyes blazing with anger, gritting her teeth. "You saw it too, and you're trying to stop me?"
"Sister Jin, what I'm trying to say is, it's easy for you to walk in now, but have you thought about what will happen afterward?"
Zhuang Qingxiang pursed her lips. "I know you're very angry and upset right now, and your emotions are a bit out of control, but you still have two sons and a daughter, and a grandson... Have you really thought about what you'll do after you expose them?"
