Chapter 36: Come On, Love You!

Not only could she buy a watch, but she could also gain a favorable impression of the big shot. It was worth it to just move her mouth from the beginning to the end!

The watch she had bought was also simple to use. It had a round dial the size of a coin and a small round knob beside it. When she pulled it out, she adjusted the time and pressed it back. The last time she used it, it could last for six to seven days. If she felt that adjusting the time would delay things, she would just have to use it before she ran out of energy.

The money for the watch and the food was from the compensation paid by the Liu family. The watch was the most expensive item that cost 45 yuan. Excluding the money for food and shopping, there was still 18 yuan left.

Sun Qing had originally planned to spend all this money. When she turned around and saw the bags in Jiang Huai’s hand, she felt a little guilty.

“Hubby, are you tired? Shall I wipe your sweat?”

Jiang Huai thought to himself, ‘You’re asking me if I’m tired? Then shouldn’t you help me take a few bags?’

“Hubby, hang in there a little longer. We’re almost there. Come on, come on! Hubby, come on! Love you!”

Jiang Huai sighed silently. The people he brought back always made him suffer.

It was six o’clock when they arrived home, and the sun was still quite high. It was June in the Gregorian calendar, and the sun wouldn’t set completely until eight o’clock.

When Sun Qing arrived home, she immediately began to open the dowry to digest her food. The first thing she did was to unpack the change of clothes and toiletries.

Although it wasn’t the hottest time yet, she was still sweating when she moved in the middle of the day. She would definitely not be able to sleep well if she didn’t wash up at night.

During the few days she was in the Jiang family, she had only cared about lying flat and doubting her life. She hadn’t even done any hygiene and her body was about to stink. If she didn’t wash up soon, she would go crazy!

There were two plastic basins, one for washing faces and one for washing feet. There were also two clean and empty persimmon-shaped soap boxes.

There were two sets of clothes, both in bright red. One look at the material and the creases told her they were new and had never been worn once.

There were two towels, two red curtains, four sets on the back, two sheets, two pairs of pillow covers, and a roll of double mats.

Sun Qing took everything out and placed it on the table. There was no room on the table, so she placed it in the living room.

After Jiang Huai sent Sun Qing back, he went out. When he returned, he was holding a large plastic sheet and starting to build the furniture in the courtyard.

When she noticed it, Jiang Huai was almost done and was pressing a brick on it.

“Hubby, it’s raining tonight?”

Jiang Huai nodded as an answer.

He was still not used to being called her hubby.

Sun Qing was puzzled. The sun was shining just now, why would it rain at night? However, she didn’t mind it and continued to pack!

There were only two rooms that she could sleep in, so she definitely had to sleep in the big room. Sun Qing calmly threw the thin mattress at the door and directly laid out a new mattress.

After making the bed, she laid down on it, but it felt a little hard. She threw herself onto the bed and tried again. This time, it was much better.

The remaining two beds were placed on the eight-seat table in the living room. It would be cold in the latter half of the night, and they had to find a clean sheet!

The prints on the sheets were all small flowers. She didn’t like them because they were too old-fashioned. Instead, she found a towel blanket and a double mosquito net. She remembered that the original host had asked the Sun family to specially buy them from the department store. Each one cost more than ten yuan.

She would use this tonight.

She could make do where she lay. The pillow was a problem.

Just now, when she touched Jiang Huai’s pillow, it was so damp that water could be pinched out. When he asked her to throw the mattress, she also threw it away.

Now, they were still short of soap, shampoo, and a place to shower before they could sleep in bed clean. Aunt Li had said that there was a bathhouse nearby, but in summer, it was usually closed. In order to save a few cents, people washed up at home.
