After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 34: Flies Don’t Sting Seamless Eggs

After much consideration, Zhou Xiaomei felt that she should apologize to Shen Qingqing.

Miss Shen could choose to let it go, but they couldn’t pretend like nothing had happened.

Apologize when it’s necessary.

As for whether it would affect their relationship in the future, that was a matter for the future.

She handed Xiao Bao to Lin Fengmian, "Watch him, I’m going out with your brother."

Knowing they were going to find Shen Qingqing, Lin Fengmian refused to take care of her nephew.

"I need to clean up."

"You’ve already cleaned," Zhou Xiaomei suppressed her temper.

Lin Fengmian wanted to say something else but noticed her brother’s expression wasn’t good either, so she quickly sobered up.

She hastily took over her nephew.

This was her key to staying in the compound.

If she didn’t take good care of the child, the couple would definitely send her back to her hometown.

She didn’t want to go back to the countryside.

Even if she couldn’t marry Jiang Zhixun or Chen Shaojie, as long as she stayed in the compound, she would eventually find a good man!

Wiping the corner of her eye, Lin Fengmian pitifully said, "I don’t want to target Miss Shen, but I just can’t control it. You know, I liked Brother Jiang the first time I saw him. If it were you, you wouldn’t necessarily be able to get along peacefully with a rival in love."

She confessed her feelings, and Zhou Xiaomei’s anger suddenly dissipated.

Softening her tone, "Even if you’re not happy, you can’t create problems for no reason. Rather than being prejudiced against Miss Shen, why not look at her strengths, learn from her, and improve yourself?"

Lin Fengmian pursed her lips, "She grew up in a big city and received a better education than me."

If she and Shen Qingqing swapped places, she would definitely know foreign languages and have a decent job too!

And Shen Qingqing, being delicate, might not be as hardworking as she is, managing both the house inside and out!

Zhou Xiaomei earnestly said, "Learning is a lifelong process, and it’s not too late to start now. I’m not saying you have to be as talented as Miss Shen, but learning from her good temper shouldn’t be that hard, right?"

Lin Fengmian felt irritated.

Shen Qingqing wasn’t good-tempered; she was clearly putting on an act, deliberately making others side with her!

Only someone as straightforward as her would fall for Shen Qingqing’s act!

Realizing she was being used by Shen Qingqing to highlight her own good temperament made Lin Fengmian even angrier.

All she could do was endure it for now.

Gritting her teeth, she thought that she better never get the chance, or she’d definitely teach Shen Qingqing a lesson!

Going empty-handed to apologize seemed inappropriate.

The food at home was brought by Jiang Zhixun and the others, and if they handed it over to Shen Qingqing, it might seem like borrowing someone else’s favor.

"Wait for me, I’ll cook two red sugar eggs as a late-night snack for Miss Shen."

There was red sugar and rice wine at home, and every time Zhou Xiaomei finished her period, Lin Zhidong would cook eggs to nourish her body.

If they had the means, they’d even add a few red dates.

When it came to eating, Lin Fengmian never treated herself poorly.

When Zhou Xiaomei ate, she would eat too.

Every month she would cook for herself twice.

Zhou Xiaomei appreciated her help with the child and never quibbled over food and drink with Lin Fengmian.

She would even have Lin Zhidong give her ten yuan as a reward.

With the weather so cold, Zhou Xiaomei thought that cooking a bowl of rice wine with red sugar eggs was a good choice.

With a comfortable stomach and a warm body, the unpleasant emotions would naturally dissipate.

Lin Zhidong, being a man, cooking this for another female comrade wasn’t appropriate.

So he didn’t get involved.

"Then I’ll return the stools first."

When they had guests at home and not enough stools, Lin Zhidong borrowed a few from others.

The couple had gone to the canteen to eat just now.

If he returned them now, there should be someone at home.

Zhou Xiaomei said, "Then give them a handful of White Rabbit creamy candies, today is Xiao Bao’s first birthday, it should be joyful."

"Okay."

White Rabbit candies were valuable things.

Lin Fengmian complained in her heart, thinking her sister-in-law was too generous, always giving things away.

If it weren’t for her brother’s high allowance, their family would be left to drink northwest wind to survive!

Seeing her displeased expression, Zhou Xiaomei lightly huffed, "I have a job too, this family isn’t just being supported by your brother alone."

Lin Fengmian pursed her lips, "I’m not saying anything, don’t overthink it, or my brother will criticize me again."

A one-year-old child is at the age where they love excitement.

Clamoring to go to the kitchen to watch their mother cook.

No choice, Lin Fengmian had to carry him into the kitchen.

Seeing Zhou Xiaomei prepare two eggs, a big piece of red sugar, and rice wine,

she immediately couldn’t stay calm, "You’re making her eat so much at once, even when people are in confinement, they don’t supplement like this. Aren’t you afraid it’ll bloat her to death?"

Shen Qingqing isn’t even related to them, so why should she eat such good things?

Lin Fengmian was really about to cry from anger.

"When I’m not feeling well, I only dare to use one egg, half a spoon of red sugar. You’re giving an outsider so much good stuff, do you think that’s fair to me?"

After finally calming down for a few minutes, she started to stir things up again, and Zhou Xiaomei had an extreme headache.

She immediately sped up her work pace.

"If you didn’t speak carelessly, we wouldn’t have to apologize to others. If you don’t want to give good stuff to outsiders, then control your mouth from now on."

"Flies don’t bite seamless eggs, if Shen Qingqing had no problems, would others gossip about her?"

Zhou Xiaomei’s tone was faint, "Flies are annoying, rotten eggs are stinky... Are you a fly, or a rotten egg?"

"You just keep siding with her!"

"I’m standing by reason, not family ties!"

Saying that, she added various ingredients into the pot, and Lin Fengmian couldn’t stop her in time.

She herself couldn’t even afford to use face cream, yet was giving such good things to her rival, it was like cutting her own flesh.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

Suddenly thinking of something, she carried Xiao Bao out of the kitchen.

After a moment, she shouted from inside the room, "Your son peed, you change his diaper yourself!"

Zhou Xiaomei knew her sister-in-law was deliberately opposing her.

Concealing her anger, she didn’t believe that without her sister-in-law, they couldn’t manage the child.

Once the rice wine with red sugar eggs was cooked, she quickly transferred it into a prepared canning jar, wiped her hands, and went to change her son’s diaper.

With a window of opportunity, Lin Fengmian ran to the door for a look.

Her brother had not yet returned, she heard voices in the corridor, he was talking with a neighbor about New Year holiday plans.

Carefully taking out the white wine from the cabinet, which was originally bought for fermenting milk curd.

More than half a bottle remained.

She secretly poured a bit, thinking no one would notice.

Time was tight, so Lin Fengmian quickly mixed the white wine into the food.

A gloating look flashed in her eyes.

Shen Qingqing better get drunk, show her true colors, and by then Brother Jiang would surely send her packing without delay.

They say drunken words speak the truth, let’s see how she continues to pretend to be genteel!

Imagining Shen Qingqing acting crazy after getting drunk, Lin Fengmian almost laughed out loud.

Hearing footsteps in the corridor, she quickly sealed the jar lid and put the white wine back in the cabinet.

Just as the cabinet door closed, Lin Zhidong pushed the door and walked in.

"What were you rummaging for in the cabinet?"

Lin Fengmian looked calm, "I was counting how many White Rabbit candies were left. You can eat them, but don’t give them to outsiders!"

Lin Zhidong found it baffling.

Seeing his wife put a hat on Xiao Bao, he asked, "Aren’t you leaving him at home?"

"No, I’m not."

Zhou Xiaomei’s expression was indifferent, so Lin Zhidong knew that the sister-in-law duo had another disagreement.

No time to elaborate, he went to the kitchen to grab the food.

"It’s good for him to see more people, so he won’t be shy in the future."
