With the clothing in her hand, Tang Xia said to her mother-in-law, "It fits you well and makes you look beautiful and younger. When you go back to the countryside and spend the Spring Festival wearing it, you can tell the folks that it was your son who bought you the clothing. They will certainly get envious."

Jiang Yuecheng's mother thought it would be good for her son and gave a smile immediately, turning around in front of the mirror.

It was a maroon coat in Chinese style, with a knitted swastika in dark golden threads, buttons in the shape of fish, and a woven peony on the lapel, looking so true to life.

It must be mentioned that Tang Xia had good taste in clothes. Both the design and color fit Jiang Yuecheng's rural-born mother well, who looked in high spirits after dressing up.

Jiang Yuecheng's mother stroked the clothing gently and got even more satisfied as she looked up and down at herself in the mirror. Looking at her, Tang Xia became relieved. The old woman was so hard to serve and had cost her more than 500 yuan to please.

"How much was it?" Jiang Yuecheng's mother asked.

"580 yuan," escaped Tang Xia's lips as she was lost in thought. She regretted it right after saying it. "How could I tell her the truth? I'll be scolded once more."

"Ah... What did you say? How dare you buy such an expansive piece of clothing? You're so fond of spending money, you hen that lays no eggs! You are incapable of giving birth to a child but are so good at spending money.

"So this is how you waste the money my son has earned? Don't you know how to save money?" ... A string of curses bolted out from Jiang Yuecheng's mother's mouth.

"Mother, I don't always spend so much money. I was buying clothes for you, how can pick out a cheap one?"

"I never waste money because my husband earns it with such difficulty, and I have to live thriftily. I spent so much money this time because I was buying clothes for you," Tang Xia explained hurriedly.

"Hmph. Don't waste my son's money anymore. And stop standing here like a piece of wood. Dacheng works so laboriously, go and cook some dishes so that he can eat when he comes back."

Jiang Yuecheng's mother continues scolding Tang Xia for a while, and then went to her bedroom wearing the new clothing.

"I know. I'll cook now."

Tang Xia answered with a forced smile but murmured in her mind, "Damned old woman, you never know what's good for you. I bought you a piece of clothing, so how can you scold me? You'll see!" Tang Xia sneered in her mind while keeping a smiling face.

Jiang Yuecheng was about to return from work. Tang Xia put the dishes she had just cooked on the table one by one. Since there was still plenty of time, she walked to the bedroom and put on makeup carefully.

Her eyebrows were thick and her eyes looked soft, while her lips were red in a natural way. She smoothed her hair, which had just been set and was fluffy and light.


Looking at the beauty in the mirror, Tang Xia picked up the corner of her lips. "Zhou Linlin, let's have a race!" The sound of the door opening came from outside as she was in thought. Tang Xia knew it was Jiang Yuecheng and went out to greet him immediately.

Jiang Yuecheng did not even look at her when he entered. He threw off his shoes, removed his tie, and took off and threw his suit to Tang Xia, who waited for him at the door.

He headed straight for the toilet with his eyes looking steadily forward as if Tang Xia were no more than a clothes hanger. But Tang Xia did not get annoyed. She put the tie and the suit on the hanger with a smiling face, walked to the toilet, and passed a towel to Jiang Yuecheng.

Jiang Yuecheng took the towel impatiently, wiped his face, and said, "What are you doing here? Did you get the dinner..." He stopped abruptly when he looked at Tang Xia after wiping his face, she was so beautiful today. He was suddenly turned on and rejoiced over this.

Her eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as a picture, her face was so pretty and her hair was elaborately combed. She had a slim, curvy figure and her smile made her even more attractive. What a beauty.

Jiang Yuecheng gawked at Tang Xia and thought, "I won't get bored with such a wife in my life."

Looking at Jiang Yuecheng, Tang Xia sneered, while she said with a bewitching smile, "Husband, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Jiang Yuecheng came back to his senses and said, "Tang Xia, how do you look so appealing today?" Tang Xia did not reply. Instead, she walked slowly to the couch and sat down, keeping silent. Jiang Yuecheng followed her and said, "Why don't you talk to me, Tang Xia?"

"I'm afraid another woman may take my place if I don't make myself up," Tang Xia said with her face looking downward. "I used to believe that a marriage based on the wife's appearance wouldn't last long.

"You should love my soul rather than my appearance. That's why I never make myself up. I was confident that I was prettier than those who wear heavy powders even if I didn't make myself up."

Tang Xia was about to burst into tears. "But when I saw you and Zhou Linlin... When I saw you fawning over a woman who was more ugly than me even if she had made herself up, I realized I was wrong, deplorably wrong.

"Men love a woman's appearance, while a woman will doll herself up for the one who loves her. Now that I love you, why can't I make myself up for you?"

Jiang Yuecheng glanced at his wife, who looked sorrowful, and felt a little guilty. But at the same time, he was dissatisfied with her mentioning Zhou Linlin. So he felt restless in the end.

"I hate hearing women cry. Stop shedding tears. Don't pester me, ok? "I'm so tired after a day's work. Could you show me your smiling face so that I can have dinner in peace?" Hearing his words, Tang Xia immediately went to prepare the tableware for him.

Jiang Yuecheng felt guilty again when he saw the slim figure so busy in the kitchen. After all, his wife was so virtuous and had dealt with everything well in the family. And she was loyal to him and showed her filial obedience to his mother.

Looking at his wife's pretty face, Jiang Yuecheng felt more and more guilty. He walked toward her and tried to lend her a hand. But the doorbell rang when he had just picked up a pair of chopsticks in the kitchen.

Jiang Yuecheng walked to open the door with the chopsticks in his hand. Tang Xia shouted at him, "Husband, who's that?" Jiang Yuecheng replied, "I don't know, either."

Then, he opened the door. Tang Xia said, "Husband, is that your friend? Ask him to have dinner with us. I've cooked lots of tasty dishes."

"Cousin Dacheng, you're so careless. You left your stuff in my car." The voice was rather surprising.

"Zhou Linlin!" Tang Xia said, thinking that she must have come for a demonstration. "Now that you have come, let's have a fight and you should not expect to leave easily."

"Yes, it's me, cousin. What's wrong? Are you surprised?"

Zhou Linlin squinted at Tang Xia but was shocked. She and Jiang Yuecheng had always called Tang Xia "the old ball and chain", but today she looked so attractive, totally different from how she used to.

"Why are you coming to my house? Did I invite you? We don't welcome you!" Tang Xia said.

"Eh, cousin, listen to me. You're treating me like a stranger. We are in the same family, why can't I visit you? What's more, didn't you hear what I said?

"Cousin Dacheng left his stuff in my car. I've come to return it to him." Zhou Linlin gave Jiang Yuecheng a glad eye when saying this.

"Hmph, Jiang Yuecheng must have played around with Zhou Linlin after work."

"What did my husband leave in your car?" Tang Xia asked in a low voice as she opened the door. "Give it to me and leave my house, please. We don't welcome anyone who has ulterior motives."

Zhou Linlin did not answer her. She giggled and walked to the table. "Eh, this dish looks great. It has aroused my appetite. Would you mind if I sat down, cousin?"

Tang Xia felt disgusted by Zhou Linlin's stagy gesture. But meanwhile, she wanted to find out what the hell Zhou Linlin wanted to do.

"You seem to have eaten lots of dishes I cooked."

Saying this, Tang Xia could not help remembering how she looked after Zhou Linlin when she lived in her house. She was afraid that Zhou Linlin could not get used to the dishes in the canteen, so she tried every means to cook for her.

But she did not know that she had raised an ungrateful soul, who sabotaged her marriage and tried to loot her husband. What a bitch!

"Cousin, it's been a long time since I have had dishes cooked by you. I wonder if your cooking style has regressed," Zhou Linlin said.

"Fine. But the dishes have turned cold. Let me heat them for you. Just wait a minute. Husband, you can chat with Linlin. I'll heat up the dishes, it won't take long." Tang Xia smiled tenderly at Jiang Yuecheng.

Soon after, the heated dishes were served. Zhou Linlin sat where Tang Xia had always sat, while Tang Xia magnanimously smiled and thought whatever she liked.

Zhou Linlin asked for soup at first, and then she asked for more rice. She complained that the dishes were too salty and then grumbled that they were too tasteless. She kept asking Tang Xia to do things for her as if she were the hostess. Tang Xia was not angry, but she kept sneering in her mind.

They finished dinner at last. Zhou Linlin sat on the couch and was about to ask Tang Xia for water when she heard Jiang Yuecheng say, "Linlin, what's wrong with your face? It looks so red."

Zhou Linlin rushed to the bathroom to look in the mirror after hearing that. Then she screamed and ran out. She shouted at Tang Xia, "Bitch! What did you do to me?" And she was about to beat Tang Xia when saying this.

Tang Xia seized her hand and said, "What's wrong with you? Are you bewitched? Why would you beat me for no reason?"

"It must be you who added something in the dishes. My face is having an allergic reaction," Zhou Linlin said regretfully.

"Allergy? What are you allergic to? The dishes were made for my husband. And I didn't know that you would come to my house, how can I make you have an allergy?"

Tang Xia blinked and spoke innocently. In fact, she was extremely happy and was afraid she would laugh out loud. She felt so satisfied when she looked at Zhou Linlin's face, which looked like a pig's.

"Linlin, take it easy. Go to the hospital now." Jiang Yuecheng was really concerned about Zhou Linlin.

"Hmph, I don't need your sympathy. Don't look at me." Zhou Linlin was about to cry out. She picked up her bag, covered her face with it, and walked to the door.

"Here you are." She suddenly turned back, took out and threw something to Tang Xia, who took it subconsciously. She looked at it and found it to be men's underwear!
