Chapter 11 A woman's voice came from Chu Junbai's room
"My sister-in-law actually helped me beat the game."
"game?"
Chu Junbai was stunned for a moment. "So that's why you admire her?"
"Yeah, isn't that enough? Think about it, where has your sister-in-law ever seen a game console? Even if she's played one in the city, she couldn't possibly have reached the final version in such a short time. I couldn't beat the final version, but she beat it for me in no time."
"I was the first among my brothers to clear the game, I have a record."
Chu Junbai's lips twitched slightly.
"Chu Shaoqing, I think you should take some time to learn something. If it weren't for your frail health, I would have already brought you to my team for training."
Chu Junbai put his hands in his pockets and walked into the house.
It was just a lucky accident. This kid seems pretty clever, but how come he's so easily fooled? He's so old, yet still so naive.
He had hoped to hear something he didn't know from Chu Shaoqing, but it seems he was overthinking it.
However, it's worth pondering why Mu Xiaowan would approach Chu Shaoqing.
If she hadn't deliberately approached him, it would have been impossible for her to run into Chu Shaoqing by sheer coincidence and attract his attention.
Chu Shaoqing himself didn't know about this, and Mu Xiaowan definitely wouldn't tell him if he asked; he would have to investigate it himself.
Chu Shaoqing frowned as he watched his second brother's retreating figure.
"Second brother, didn't you have something to ask me? Why aren't you asking anymore?"
"I'm talking to you. You've let me freeze here for so long for nothing."
The sound of the door closing after he answered.
Chu Shaoqing was extremely frustrated. He quickly ran back to his room, breathing on his hands to warm them while searching for Mu Xiaowan's figure.
Seeing Mu Xiaowan setting the table, he quickly went to help. He naturally took the chopsticks from Mu Xiaowan's hand, and their tacit cooperation made it seem as if the two had known each other for many years.
"Sister-in-law, can you do me a favor?" Chu Shaoqing asked, glancing around suspiciously to make sure no one was watching.
"Just say what you need to say."
Mu Xiaowan particularly dislikes people who only ask questions without providing any details.
It's like someone asking on WeChat: Are you there?
She usually doesn't answer when someone asks her that question.
If you need to find someone for something, just say so. If they can help, they will; if they are unwilling or unable to help, at least they will have an excuse to respond.
Besides, asking directly saves time for both parties.
"Sister-in-law, I love your decisiveness. I saw you fix a radio for someone last time. Do you know how to fix a tape recorder?"
He stole the tape recorder from home and sold it, lying to his mother that he had lent it to a friend.
This lie might work for a day or two, but it can't be kept secret for long.
So he wanted to buy a broken tape recorder from a repair shop so that he wouldn't have to spend much money.
"It's just that I don't have any money in my pocket this time." He was a little embarrassed at first, but then he immediately promised, "Sister-in-law, I promise you, if you ever need my help in the future, I will go through fire and water for you. Of course, I'm not just talking about one thing. You can ask me for help with everything."
Chu Shaoqing was afraid of being overheard doing bad things, so he kept his voice down.
This is exactly what Mu Xiaowan wanted.
She didn't want others to know her background; it was very unusual for an illiterate countrywoman to have so much knowledge.
Only someone as oblivious as Chu Shaoqing wouldn't notice anything amiss.
Last time, she was wandering around the department store when she came across a little girl crying. After asking her, she learned that the girl had accidentally knocked her classmate's tape recorder to the ground and broken it.
The child's family is poor and cannot afford to pay for the repairs, so they want to contact the mall's after-sales service for repairs.
But those people, being so materialistic, didn't help the child.
She was so damn kind; she borrowed her boss's tools and got it done in minutes.
As I was leaving, I heard a sound of someone collapsing coming from the small door on the first floor.
That sound came from that kid.
He said he would give 20 yuan to anyone who helped him pass the level.
Mu Xiaowan desperately needs money right now, so she naturally won't let this opportunity slip by.
When Chu Shaoqing first saw her, he was very impatient, and his irritable appearance was completely different from his current one.
Perhaps they saw her rustic appearance and thought she was deliberately annoying.
Seeing her persistence, he said he would give her 20 yuan as long as she passed.
Without any hesitation, she sat down immediately and completed the game in less than 5 minutes, including the time it took to learn about it.
The guy was shocked, but readily gave her the 20 yuan.
Who would have thought he was from the Chu family?
Where is it?
"I haven't bought it yet. I'd like you to come with me to take a look. Ideally, we'd like to buy one that's cheap and easy to repair."
Mu Xiaowan said, "So you want to save money from me?"
Caught red-handed, Chu Shaoqing scratched his head sheepishly.
"Okay, but it'll have to wait a couple of days. The wedding is in two days, and I need to help out and buy some things."
Seeing that Mu Xiaowan had agreed, Chu Shaoqing was overjoyed.
Mu Xiaowan was afraid that he would get too excited and spin her around twice.
What a delusional teenager!
“Sister-in-law, I won’t go anywhere for the next couple of days. I’ll stay here and help you. Whether it’s moving things, doing chores, or running errands, I’m good at it. Just ask me to do whatever I need.”
Seeing Chu Shaoqing and Mu Xiaowan joking around, Chu Shaoting became even angrier.
"Chu Shaoqing, you're really getting more and more brainless. You're going to hang out with just anyone. I really need to teach you a lesson."
"You should mind your own business and not interfere in my affairs. You should take care of yourself." Chu Shaoqing had never liked his older brother and sister, feeling that they were not upright and honest.
"Aren't you...aren't you afraid I'll tell Mom about that?"
"Then go ahead and sue! I've already told Mom that I lent the tape recorder to a friend and I'll get it back in a couple of days."
"Keep bragging! Don't even think about buying a new one to fool Mom!"
Chu Shaoqing is now full of confidence; he has divine assistance.
"Go ahead and sue me if you want, then we'll see who Mom scolds."
Chu Shaoting gritted her teeth, snorted a few times, and left.
Getting married is the most troublesome thing.
Mu Xiaowan accompanied Jiang Yinglan shopping and then went to try on wedding dresses.
She was exhausted after a whole day.
She didn't see Chu Junbai all day.
Chu Junbai didn't return until noon the day before the wedding.
Mu Xiaowan thought of what he had said that day.
She decided to ask Chu Junbai.
As they approached Chu Junbai's bedroom door, they heard a girl's soft sobbing coming from inside.
It was clearly inappropriate to go in at this time, so she remained outside waiting.
To avoid suspicion, she walked further away.
Even so, the sounds inside could be heard clearly.
It's An Muxue.
"Brother Junbai, are you really going to marry that woman?"
"What do I lack compared to her? You once said you would marry me."
"I don't want to marry Chu Shaoze, and you shouldn't marry Mu Xiaowan either. I know you're being forced, but we can still find a way, can't we?"
"Marriage is a lifelong commitment; you can't deceive yourself like this."
Chu Junbai's voice, filled with reluctance, also rang out.
"Mu Xue, you should go back. This matter has been settled, and I will not break my promise."
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening came from inside.
Mu Xiaowan was taken aback.
Is it inappropriate for her to stand in the hallway?
Don't run into the bedroom now, because Chu Junbai will definitely hear the noise. Then no matter how she tries to explain, it will just be a case of protesting too much.
If she were standing here, it would further prove that she was eavesdropping.
She wasn't afraid of Chu Junbai; it was because Chu Junbai disliked her from the very beginning, and she didn't want to escalate the rift between them, since she would need Chu Junbai's protection in the future.
Just as Mu Xiaowan was struggling with her indecisiveness.
Chu Junbai saw her.
