Chapter 230 Bad idea



Chapter 230 Bad idea

"Dad went out to play cards and hasn't come back yet. I'm almost starving..."

Facing the boy's complaint, Ma Qiaolan said with a guilty look on her face: "I'm sorry, son. Mom just came back from the city and bought a pound of meat. Your blind date will come to our house tomorrow, and I will stew the meat for you then."

When the boy heard that Ma Qiaolan had come back with the meat, he immediately swallowed his saliva and said, "Mom, I want to eat meat now! Stew it for me!"

Ma Qiaolan, who always spoiled her son, did not continue to spoil him this time. "Just bear with it tonight. There will be a matchmaker tomorrow, and your blind date. It will not look good without meat."

"I heard from the matchmaker that the person she wants to introduce you to is a beautiful girl in Qinjia Village."

The boy gave up after hearing this, "Okay then, Mom, fry an egg for me!"

Ma Qiaolan said, "Okay, Mom will fry an egg for you."

the other side……

At the dining table of Ma Hongxia's home...

Ma Hongxia told Tan Yumei what she had heard today about the rumors between Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhangshi and Zhang Xiumei.

Liu Jianshe was shocked when he heard this.

Yi Zhonghai is actually having an affair with Jia Zhang?

Novels dare not write like this!

Come to think of it, this possibility is quite high!

If Jia Dongxu is really Yi Zhonghai's son...

That would be interesting.

Ma Hongxia did not tell Liu Jianshe about what happened when she met Ma Qiaolan at noon.

In Ma Hongxia's view, Liu Jianshe is now the leader of the steel rolling mill and has a lot of things to deal with every day.

There was no need to tell Liu Jianshe about such trivial family matters.

Moreover, Ma Hongxia has made up her mind that unless there is something special, she will not go back to her parents' home even during the holidays.

Zhang Xiuying's home...

Sha Zhu sat opposite Zhang Xiuying.

Tonight, Zhang Xiuying made dumplings.

Filled with chives and eggs.

There are only eight dumplings in total.

They were all given to Shazhu, while she ate the dough.

Nowadays, eating noodles is equivalent to a snack.

Sha Zhu blew a few breaths at the steaming dumplings and then put them directly into his mouth.

After chewing for a few times, he tasted the filling of the dumplings.

Filled with chives and eggs.

Chinese chives!

Sha Zhu immediately thought of the leeks given by Liu Jianshe!

Could the leeks in his bowl be the ones given to him by Liu Jianshe?

Sha Zhu couldn't help but secretly glance at Zhang Xiuying.

Zhang Xiuying was concentrating on eating and sleeping at the moment, and she didn't dare to look at Sha Zhu.

In Sha Zhu's eyes, Zhang Xiuying is much more beautiful than before.

All the wrinkles on his face disappeared, and his slow chewing movements and his medium-sized mouth...

Sha Zhu couldn't help licking his lips and ate one dumpling at a time...

Soon, the dumplings were eaten and the dumpling soup was finished.

I feel warm all over my body...

The familiar feeling of heat spread throughout my body again.

This time, Sha Zhu no longer had any negative emotions in his heart.

On the contrary, when Sha Zhu just felt a little hot, he became impatient.

Then, Sha Zhu pounced directly at Zhang Xiuying on the opposite side.

Majia Village...

At around ten o'clock, Zhang Alulin finished playing cards.

I lost one dollar and twenty-five cents, and I felt very unhappy.

He drank half a pound of wine at Ma Laoliu's house before coming back.

As soon as I got home, I went to bed.

Ma Qiaolan hasn't slept yet.

All that came to my mind were scenes of Ma Hongxia selling dumplings at the stall.

Ma Hongxia’s dumplings business is pretty good!

No wonder two people were hired to help.

I think I can make a lot of money this day.

She carried a basket of eggs, and it took her more than five hours just to get there...

From this walk, blisters formed on the soles of her feet.

The point is not that blisters were formed from grinding. The point is that seeing Ma Hongxia making money is more painful than seeing her losing money.

Zhang Lulin also noticed that Ma Qiaolan was still awake, so he stretched out his hand and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

“How much money did you lose?”

Ma Qiaolan smelled the alcohol on Zhang Lulin, frowned, and slapped Zhang Lulin's hand away.

As husband and wife for so many years, Ma Qiaolan knows Zhang Lulin very well.

Zhang Lulin would go to Ma Laoliu's house to play cards every now and then. If he lost a lot, he would go to Ma Laoliu's house to drink.

Firstly, Ma Laoliu won money, and secondly, Zhang Lulin lost too much, so he would not go back without drinking some wine.

Zhang Lulin reeked of alcohol today, and Ma Qiaolan knew that Zhang Lulin had probably lost a lot tonight.

Zhang Lulin snorted, "One dollar and twenty-five cents. Don't worry, I will definitely win the money back tomorrow night!"

When Ma Qiaolan heard this, her heart broke!

"Zhang Lulin, are we going to make ends meet? I carried a basket of eggs, more than ten pounds, and walked back and forth for more than five hours, and I only made an extra 70 cents."

"Do you know how much you can buy with this dollar and twenty-five cents?"

Although he felt guilty about losing money, Zhang Lulin was not afraid at all under the influence of alcohol. "Playing cards has wins and losses, it's normal. When I won money, why didn't you say a word good about me?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't said this. Once she did, Ma Qiaolan got even angrier. "Winning money? Throughout the year, you lose more than you win. You still have the nerve to mention this?"

"Our son is already 20 years old! He's going on a blind date tomorrow! Our family's current conditions are not as good as Ma Hongxia's!"

When Ma Hongxia was mentioned, Zhang Lulin's eyes immediately narrowed.

Ma Hongxia is a widow now. She came to borrow money last month. Zhang Lulin wanted to lend it to Ma Hongxia. If Ma Hongxia doesn't pay it back, then...

But at that time, Ma Qiaolan saw through Zhang Lulin's thoughts at a glance and directly scolded Ma Hongxia and sent her away.

When Ma Qiaolan saw that Zhang Lulin didn't say anything, she knew that Zhang Lulin must be up to some evil intentions again.

Ma Qiaolan suddenly thought and said, "I saw Ma Hongxia today. You would never have thought that she was selling dumplings at the market."

As expected, Zhang Lvlin narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, "What's going on? Wasn't she struggling to make ends meet last month? Why is she setting up a stall now?"

Ma Qiaolan said, "That's right! She's a big shot in business now! She doesn't even take us seriously! I told her to move back to Majia Village and give the two houses to our Xinliang, but she refused."

"She would rather give those two houses to her adopted son than to our Xinliang."

"Not only that, she also insulted me and called you names..."

Zhang Lulin narrowed his eyes, "What? Are you scolding me?"

Ma Qiaolan said: "That's right... You don't know how harsh her curse was..."

Ma Qiaolan immediately started to throw dirty water on Ma Hongxia in a vivid manner, and then said to Zhang Lulin: "Lulin, Hongxia is only 40 years old this year, still young. Take a look and introduce her to one of your friends. We can earn a commission..."
