Chapter 93: Chapter 93: There’s No Shit in Your Mouth

Faced with Tong Yao’s questioning gaze, Si Chen looked unnaturally away and glanced at Si Xiaohui, "Don’t jump to conclusions."

Si Xiaohui found it strange, "Then what do you want to do?" She hadn’t had time to think about the scene she just saw, but after calming down, she realized that her brother was not the type to hit a girl.

"Yeah!" Tong Yao also looked at him strangely, "Then what do you want to do?"

Si Chen clenched his fist and coughed softly, explaining casually, "Your hair is a mess, I wanted to help you fix it."

His calm demeanor really made it seem like that was the case, "Eat it while it’s hot, the steamed bun will be cold later."

Turns out it was a misunderstanding. Si Xiaohui didn’t think much about it, she took a meat bun and took a bite. The delicious, fragrant meat juice filled her mouth, it was so good that she almost bit her tongue. Her mouth still full, she said, "Brother, this meat bun is really delicious."

Si Chen raised an eyebrow, "Swallow your food before you speak."

Si Xiaohui complained, "We’re a family eating together, why so many rules?" Despite this, she obediently swallowed her food before speaking.

The meat buns were so delicious that Si Xiaohui wasn’t in the mood to talk. In the countryside, she could hardly ever eat meat buns all year round. Even when Lin Fengying occasionally made them, she wasn’t willing to put in too much meat, and the taste was nowhere near as good as the ones they bought. The city was like heaven in comparison.

Seeing Si Xiaohui eat so quickly, Tong Yao quickly opened a cup of soy milk for her, "Don’t choke, drink some soy milk."

She found it strange, Lin Fengying did have over two hundred yuan in savings and meat was only seventy cents a kilo in the countryside. In theory, the family shouldn’t be so short on food, right?

What Tong Yao didn’t know was that Lin Fengying, who had experienced hard times, always had a sense of trepidation about spending money. Even though she had some, she dare not spend it extravagantly. And since her younger son was not married yet, she was determined to save money.

"Hmm." Si Xiaohui took the soy milk reluctantly. She was tired of eating soy flour at home and had no interest in soy milk. But since the bun was choking her, Si Xiaohui reluctantly took a sip to moisten her throat. To her surprise, the soy milk tasted wonderful, "Wow, this is really good."

The soy milk was sweet, and the aroma of beans lingered in her mouth after drinking it, it tasted even better than sugared water.

"If you like it, you can have this cup too." Si Chen gave his cup of soy milk to Si Xiaohui and left for the hospital after eating two buns.

Tong Yao had a few bites of the bun and a cup of soy milk, and for some reason, her stomach started hurting. She put down her bun, tied her hair up in a run-away princess style to match her dress, and when she was ready to finish the half-eaten bun, she looked down and was surprised.

Where had her bun gone?

Seeing Tong Yao looking for her bun, Si Xiaohui said somewhat awkwardly, "I saw you couldn’t finish your bun and didn’t want it to go to waste, so I finished it for you."

"..." Tong Yao looked at Si Xiaohui in astonishment, "You’re not bothered by the fact that I had half-eaten it?"

This girl’s appetite is great, she ate six and a half buns and two cups of soy milk. These buns from the ’80s were big and fully filled, no corners were cut. She was even a bit worried about whether Si Xiaohui’s stomach would burst.

Si Xiaohui responded in a petulant manner, "You don’t have shit in your mouth, what’s dirty about it?"

Well, okay!

If Si Xiaohui didn’t mind, Tong Yao didn’t care about half a bun either.

"Hurry up and get your hair done, I’ll take you out to find a place to live."

It’s been hot lately, and by noon, the heat makes your head swell. It’s better to find a good place to stay and sort everything out early in the cool morning, so we can focus on making money tomorrow.

As for Si Xiaohui’s bad habits in life, Tong Yao didn’t take them to heart. After adapting to life in the city, being exposed to different kinds of people, she would gradually change. Si Xiaohui’s transformation was just a matter of time.

Si Xiaohui glanced at the top of Tong Yao’s head, tentatively asking, "Can you help me style my hair like yours?"

Tong Yao replied directly, "This hairstyle doesn’t suit you, how about I style a bun for you?" The bun is a simple yet attractive style suitable for all face shapes and is also refreshing in summer.

"A bun?" Si Xiaohui was somewhat hesitant, fearing that Tong Yao would purposefully prank her. She wanted a better-looking hairstyle and after a moment of indecision, she said, "Alright, you go ahead!"

If it didn’t look good, she would just restyle her hair herself, without losing anything.

Seeing Si Xiaohui’s worry, Tong Yao didn’t bring it up. She was quite the expert in hair-styling during her college years. During the holidays, she often styled her roommates’ hair and sometimes girls from the next dorm would come to her for help.

In just a moment, she styled a pretty bun for Si Xiaohui. She pulled all of her bangs up, revealing a shiny, full forehead. This way, she looked more spirited and attractive, and seemingly raised her level of beauty.

"Okay, have a look in the mirror!"

Si Xiaohui grabbed the mirror eagerly, her eyes lighting up. She was so ecstatic that she couldn’t close her mouth and couldn’t put the mirror down, "Sister-in-law, your hairstyle is really pretty."

Tong Yao replied, "I also look very pretty."

"Pooh, aren’t you embarrassed, who compliments themselves?"

Although they didn’t like each other much, when the two 19 or 20-year-old girls did start to get along, they didn’t really find the other as annoying.

Occasionally, their mutual mockery didn’t offend each other, but actually brought them closer.

Especially Si Xiaohui, a stranger in the city, instinctively somewhat relied on Tong Yao.

The two got ready and headed out, bumping into Li Nuanchun on the way down.

"Sis, do you have relatives visiting?" Li Nuanchun always had plenty of free time in the family compound. Gossiping was her favourite pastime. If anyone had relatives visiting, it would be a conversation topic. She sized Si Xiaohui up and down and asked, "Which relative is this? You look quite good-looking."

Li Nuanchun’s aesthetic preferences were thoroughly old-fashioned. She believed that women should have healthy, dark skin and should weigh no less than 100 pounds, looking robust. Large hips and chests were mandatory, and paired with thick eyebrows and big eyes, that makes the person attractive in her eyes. Si Xiaohui happened to fit these criteria and hence was genuinely praised by her.

While Tong Yao was also admitted to be attractive, looking like a fairy descended from heaven, such a fairy was not something common folk could afford. The common people still preferred girls like Si Xiaohui who were more down-to-earth.

Alas!

It was a shame she had no children; otherwise, she would definitely find a daughter-in-law based on these standards.

Being praised like this for the first time, Si Xiaohui blushed, too embarrassed to raise her head.

"This is Ah Chen’s sister, Xiaohui."

Not thinking too much about it, Tong Yao simply introduced Si Xiaohui’s identity. Just as she was about to continue downstairs with Si Xiaohui, she heard Li Nuanchun gossiping.

"Did you find out you’re pregnant, so your sister-in-law came over to take care of you?" Li Nuanchun asked confidently, convinced that Tong Yao was pregnant.

"Sister-in-law, are you pregnant?" Si Xiaohui looked at Tong Yao’s stomach in shock, her gaze full of doubt.

Tong Yao had only been in the city for less than a month, and couldn’t possibly be pregnant that quickly!

While in the village, Tong Yao had a close, passionate relationship with Jia Qing, could it be...
