She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 571: Chapter 593: The Little Magpie’s Long Tail

Qi Lei looked at her with a tender smile, ”Yes, I now run my own steel business and need to frequently visit the city.”

”Then Brother Qi, remember to visit me. Once I get to the city, I’ll write to you and give you the address.”

”Sure!”

”By the way, my sister is getting married on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Remember to come for the wedding banquet.”

”I definitely will if you invite me.”

Receiving a firm response, Sheng An waved at Qi Lei and ran to Sheng Ning. ”Sis, let’s go!”

”Okay!” Sheng Ning nodded to Qi Lei in the distance and left with Sheng An, carrying their things.

As the sisters walked a good distance away, Sheng Ning kept giving Sheng An strange looks, which made her quite embarrassed. ”What are you looking at, sis?”

”I’m looking at how pretty my little sister has grown.”

”I’m obviously pretty.” Sheng An smiled proudly, her lips almost curling to the sky.

”That’s right, stunningly pretty.”

*********

While Sheng Ning and her party were shopping, Xu Qigang was also out buying things. He had just come home that morning and was quickly dragged out by Zhao Lanzhi.

When they reached town, Zhao Lanzhi was busy buying and buying, showing Xu Qigang for the first time a woman’s purchasing power.

”Mom! No wonder our family is so poor.”

”What do you mean by that?”

Xu Qigang raised his eyebrows, ”Dad can’t earn money, and you spend too much.”

”Oh! You dare to talk back to your mom now. Wait until your wife comes in, see if you dare to speak then.” Zhao Lanzhi had come to a deep understanding of the Xu family’s fear of their wives, and she knew her son extremely well.

It’s true he is impressive, but when it comes to pampering his wife, no one could beat him.

”My wife spending money is natural and right, I’m even worried she might not spend my money.” Xu Qigang was actually troubled by this now! Because of five thousand yuan, his wife wasn’t even talking to him.

”...” With immense resentment, Zhao Lanzhi looked at her son, ”Have you heard this rural saying?”

Xu Qigang shook his head, wanting to smoke a cigarette, but since his mom was with him, he resisted.

”The saying goes like this, ’When the magpie’s tail grows long, a man forgets his mom after getting a wife. The wife sleeps in the quilt, the mother sleeps on the haystack.’” After saying this, she sneakily asked, ”Son, you wouldn’t happen to be this magpie, right?”

”...” Xu Qigang was speechless. ”Mom, do you think Dad would let you sleep on a haystack?”

Zhao Lanzhi shook her head in embarrassment, and to cover up the awkwardness, she quickly said, ”There’s a breakfast stall selling rice porridge and fried dough sticks over there. I haven’t had breakfast yet.”

Xu Qigang looked over and noticed the breakfast stall was bustling, mostly with strong young men. His brows furrowed involuntarily until he caught a familiar scent and immediately walked quickly towards it.

”Wait for me, didn’t you already eat in the county town? Why are you in such a hurry?”

When Xu Qigang appeared at the breakfast stall, the place quieted down for three seconds.

”Little Yama?”

”When did you get back?” The group of strong young men clearly all knew Xu Qigang, their faces showing a ghost-seeing expression as soon as they saw him.

Basically, these guys were the ones who worked during farming seasons and idled around when it was not busy.

Later, when Little Yama finally left, they had their fun as the saying goes, ’When the tiger is away, the monkeys reign as kings’. Now, upon seeing Xu Qigang, they subconsciously stood up.

Xu Qigang’s expression was indifferent. He pointed at the petite woman sitting inside and said with a breezy demeanor, ”I’m back to get married—that’s my wife.”

Everyone looked and regretted deeply.
