Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 555: I’m not jealous of your son-in-law.

Cui Shuicao was feeling uneasy inside. She bit her lip lightly and raised her head to look at Meng Xingsheng, ”A good-looking prey could be worth at least two to three hundred, my uncle said. He would take fifty as a middleman fee, and the rest would all go to Brother Xingsheng.”

”Right, Brother Xingsheng, my uncle relies on this business. In less than two years, he built five brick and tile houses for our family, and life gets better day by day. We have full meals with meat at every meal and new clothes to wear every year!”

Cui Shuicao didn’t believe it. After she said it like that, there was no way Meng Xingsheng could still be unmoved.

”Shuicao, don’t push me. I said I would marry you within this year, and I will make it happen.”

Meng Xingsheng had felt both conflicted and entangled lately. He truly wanted to bring a wife home, to be with Cui Shuicao for life, but he found it difficult to quiet his conscience to do that kind of thing.

He wasn’t foolish. He knew it was not a good thing, and that if he did it and went unnoticed, it would be fine, but if... if the matter were exposed, his life would probably be ruined.

So, since he came back from North City recently, he had been hesitant, unable to make up his mind to do as Cui Shuicao had suggested.

”Brother Xingsheng, I’m not rushing you.” Cui Shuicao looked pitifully tearful, with tears swirling in her eyes: ”I am just afraid of being married off to another man by my mother. I’m afraid of missing out on you. If it comes to that, I’ll just go jump in the river!”

”Shuicao, you...”

Meng Xingsheng wanted to reach out and hold Cui Shuicao to comfort her, but he withdrew his hand as he raised it, feeling that since they were not engaged, let alone married, it wouldn’t be appropriate to hold each other.

”I’m okay.”

Wiping away her tears, Cui Shuicao shook her head and said, ”Then, Brother Xingsheng, you think about it some more. I’m heading back.” As her voice fell, she quickly walked towards the edge of the forest.

North City.

”Mom, can’t you just relax for a while?”

Today was a clear sky with a gentle breeze. Kang Li sat back in her wicker rocking chair, closing the book in her hand and looking at her mother sitting opposite her, quickly knitting a sweater and said, ”Since you came to North City last year, up until now, you’ve knit two sets of sweaters and pants each for Ruirui!”

Cai Xiufen didn’t stop her hands and casually replied, ”This is for Yanqing.”

”Yanqing is not without sweaters to wear.”

She had knit one for him before, and moreover, she bought two woolen sweaters for him through Dwen Dwen from the System Mall; the man didn’t lack sweaters to wear at all!

Hearing the hint of jealousy in her beloved daughter’s tone, Cai Xiufen shook her head with some amusement: ”Didn’t I bring you the sweater I knit when I came last year?”

Not only did she bring them, but she also brought two sweaters and a pair of knitted pants.

One sweater was white, another light purple, and as for the knitted pants, they were bright red.

Cai Xiufen knew her cherished daughter didn’t like dark-colored sweaters, so she deliberately purchased light-colored yarn, and since Kang Li went to North City, whenever she had free time, she would knit sweaters for her most beloved daughter.

When she came to North City last year, of course, she didn’t forget to bring the finished sweaters and pants.

Kang Li: ”I’m not jealous of your son-in-law.”

Cai Xiufen: ”Just keep fooling yourself.”

”Mom...”

”What do you want to say?”

”Yanqing really isn’t lacking clothes to wear, you don’t have to go to the trouble of knitting him a sweater.”

”Idle hands are the devil’s work; since I’ve knitted for you and Ruirui, not making one for Yanqing wouldn’t be right.”

”I don’t see anything wrong with that. I just don’t want you to tire yourself out. I’ve told you this many times, yet you forget every time as soon as you hear it.”

”I’m full of energy. Besides, how tiring could knitting a sweater be?” Glancing at her daughter, Cai Xiufen smiled and said:
