181 180: A Silver Lining?

Machine Translation

The person who was replaced by her older sister was Lu Yichen's captain's wife. Her name was Chu Yunxia. She was currently tidying up her makeup on the dressing table. She looked to be in her thirties. She had a pretty face, and she also looked kind. After listening to her younger sister's words... She smiled and said, "There's nothing else."

"It's not like it's not sold outside. It was made by a sister-in-law from the Wilderness in our family's courtyard. She sold it in the family's courtyard. Because of this matter, she was punished. The things in your hands were all seized. Your brother-in-law thinks that these things are useless. I saw it and wanted to bring it."

The beautiful woman's name was Chu Yunsha. When she heard this, she looked surprised and said, "Sister, is it true? Did she make it herself?"

After Chu Yunxia finished wiping her face, she was seriously wiping her hands. As she wiped her hands, she said, "Of course. I wouldn't lie to you."

Then, she sighed and said, "If I had to say, this is an acquaintance. Do you still remember the person I want to introduce you to?"

Chu Yunsha had already gotten up. She walked to the dressing table with coquettish steps and said, "Yes, I remember. He is a very handsome little guy. Unfortunately, he is a little young."

When Chu Yunxia heard this, she glared at her and said, "So what if he is young? He is only three or four years younger than you. Who would have thought that you, this wretched girl, would be unwilling no matter what."

"Unit Lu is such a good young man. Now, he's married to a girl from the countryside. I didn't expect that this girl from the countryside would be able to make such a beauty cream. You really can't judge a book by its cover."

When Chu Yunsha heard this, she curled her lips and said, "Sister, come on. Other than being a little better looking, that Lu Yichen has a cold face every day. It's as if everyone owes him. I can't stand it."

When Chu Yunxia saw this, she slapped her leg and said, "Go and sit over there. You're just a little girl. Why are you still unwilling? Unit Lu probably won't even look at you."

Chu Yunsha pouted. "Hmph."

Seeing this, Chu Yunxia glared at her and said, "You're not young anymore, yet you're still not looking for a partner. Do you want to be an old lady? I see that it was a mistake for your parents to send you overseas to study. Now that you're back, you don't even go to work. Look at what you've become."

Chu Yunsha pouted and said, "What have I become? I'm still fine. I'm very much like the women nowadays. Are you saying that you're good just because you're a blockhead?"

After saying this, she moved closer to Chu Yunxia and rolled her big eyes. "Sis, can that Lu Yichen's wife really make a beauty cream? This isn't something that an ordinary person can do. There are many things involved. What does she look like? How old is she this year?"

"Forget it, I'll go to your department with you. I'll go meet..."

Chu Yunxia saw this and glared at her. "Do you regret it now? It's too late."

"I heard that Unit Lu is very strict with this little wife of his. That girl is very good-looking and much better looking than you. She's only 17 this year."

"Ah? Only 17?"

Then, she touched her face. "She's even better looking than me. Is that true, sister? Don't try to undermine my own prestige by being arrogant."

Pfft--

Chu Yunxia laughed when she heard that. Then, she nodded her sister's head and said, "What are you talking about? Why? Do you really want to see her? Then you don't have to go to the ministry with me. I heard that Unit Lu will bring his little wife back to the provincial capital to visit her relatives in the next two days. You'll see her then."

When Chu Yunsha heard that, her big eyes blinked. "Really? That would be great."

Then, her eyes flashed with a light that others did not understand. She thought to herself, if it was really as her sister said, this was a talent. A talent. Hehe, she had to rope her in properly.

Kang Xiaoqiao, who was still on the train, did not know that she was being targeted. It was already noon, and it was time for lunch.

There was also food on the train. Lin An pushed the food cart over to peddle. No matter what, his cousin had gotten into trouble, and he had pulled out Instructor Wang to give him face. Therefore, he bought two more boxes of food and planned to send them over as an apology.

Zhang Lili saw this and said unhappily, "Cousin, why are you sending them food? Aren't they capable? They can't even afford a meal on their own, tsk."

She had seen clearly that when the food cart passed by Kang Xiaoqiao, they didn't stop them from buying food. They probably ate their own food.

Lin An reprimanded her in a low voice. "Lili, what did I tell you before? If you continue like this, don't blame me for telling auntie about you. When the time comes..."

Before she could finish, Zhang Lili immediately said sullenly, "Alright, alright, I won't say anymore, alright? If you want to give them food, go ahead. Hmph."

After saying that, she picked up her chopsticks and prepared to eat. Meanwhile, Lin An let out a huge sigh and brought the food over. However, when he walked in front of the two of them, he was completely stunned.

It was lunchtime now, so Kang Xiaoqiao was naturally prepared. At this moment, the table was filled with dishes, and they looked, smelled, and tasted good.

Stewed beef with soy sauce. Yes, beef. This was a rare good thing. This cow was used to plow the land, but there was no way to deal with natural and man-made disasters. This cow had accidentally broken its leg, so naturally, it couldn't work with its leg broken. Then, there was no point in keeping it.

It was already dark yesterday, so San Kui ran over and asked her if she wanted it. Everyone knew that she like delicious things, so Kang Xiaoqiao bought a lot without hesitation. After making a meal of stewed beef, Kang Xiaoqiao made the rest of the beef jerky for her sister to eat as snacks.

Besides stewed beef, there were also pig ears and liver. These were all cut early in the morning and placed in the box. The cucumber was cut by Kang Xiaoqiao, and the seasoning was also prepared. So, very soon, a salad of pig ears was ready, and the fragrance spread throughout the entire carriage.

When Lin An arrived, Kang Xiaoqiao had just finished cutting and was putting on the salad at a very fast speed. On this hot day, there was a cold dish, and it still had such a tempting cucumber taste. It was very refreshing.

Moreover, there was actually meat. Lin An couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Kang Xiaoqiao saw that someone had come over and said with a smile, "Uncle Lin, is something the matter?"

Lin An couldn't help but clench the lunchbox in his hands even tighter. On this table, other than the two dishes from before, there was also a fish, tomato sardines. It looked attractive, and it was even more delicious than canned sardines, and it was a dipping dish... It was a complete dish.

More importantly, the chili sauce with the dipping sauce dish smelled delicious. At this moment, Lu Yichen was eating a fried dough pancake in his hand. Apart from that, he actually had a bottle of beer. How was this a long journey? This was simply enjoying life.

Lin An had opened his eyes. At the same time, the food in his hands couldn't be given away. How could such a good meal like this fancy a big pot of rice?

Not to mention the fact that the dishes were usually stir-fried, there wasn't even a single piece of meat. Lin An instantly felt extremely awkward.
