Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 52: Please Call Her the Sharp-Tongued Leader
"Put the refrigerator and washing machine in the kitchen. Clear out the wardrobe at the end of the bed for the TV and place a table there. That way, when Kaize is sitting on the bed, he can see it perfectly. Let’s put the sewing machine in our room, and the bicycle can go in the yard. It can be pushed into the kitchen on rainy days, so it won’t rust." Su Yijia made these arrangements methodically.
"Sister-in-law, these are valuable items like the refrigerator and washing machine. Why put them in the kitchen?" Gao Huabin found it a bit strange.
Su Yijia smiled nonchalantly, "The washing machine shouldn’t be exposed to the elements, and it needs to be connected to the faucet. As for the refrigerator, its main purpose is to store food. Dishes made in the summer can be kept in there for two or three days without spoiling, and it can chill sodas and ice pops. Since Kaize’s health is currently delicate, he can’t eat anything too cold. Dishes taken out from the refrigerator need to be heated before eating, so it’s more convenient to have it in the kitchen."
"Your thinking is so considerate, sister-in-law," Gao Huabin grinned. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"Su, a few days ago at the banquet, you married Mingcheng, didn’t you? How come now you’re Kaize’s wife?" The neighbors, who had regained their strength, eagerly asked, their faces filled with gossip.
Su Yijia’s face showed a mixture of sadness and anger. "You should ask that question to Qin Mingcheng and my sister. On my wedding night, I wasn’t the bride. The two elders in the Qin family are really something to have raised such a great son."
"Oh my goodness! Doesn’t that mean they’ve committed a crime? They should be criticized and sent to the farm for re-education!" The neighbors exclaimed loudly, but then pretended to cover their mouths as if they didn’t want the matter to escalate.
"In theory, yes, but who could blame Qin Mingcheng for having such a good mother? This is how it has to be." Su Yijia spoke with a hint of sadness in her voice and even teared up.
A basin of dirty water was dumped over Qin Kaize’s mother’s head, nearly choking her. "That’s enough! Go back now! Your mouth can’t be stopped even with all these things!"
She scolded loudly, trying to drown out the surrounding neighbors’ gossip, but just because she shouted didn’t mean others wouldn’t continue discussing.
"You’re talking as if you bought these things with your own money! Your own son did something so shameless, and as his mother, other than covering it up, what compensation have you given me? Don’t take other people’s things and try to make yourself look good. I’ve never seen someone so shameless," Su Yijia retorted, her words like a cold blade.
Having achieved her goal, she didn’t linger any longer and turned to return to the courtyard. Qin Kaize’s mother hurriedly followed, scolding relentlessly, "Su Yijia, you’ve gone too far! You may be a Qin family daughter-in-law now, but we’ve lost our face. Do you think you have a face left?"
"As long as it’s more face than you, it’s enough," Su Yijia shrugged indifferently.
Qin Kaize’s mother felt like she was choking on suppressed anger and struggled to breathe. She had to hold her chest tightly, too agitated to speak properly. "What do you want, exactly? You’ve already received so many betrothal gifts, and we haven’t asked you to return any of them. We’ve given you everything you asked for. Why do you still want to spread rumors outside?"
"What rumors? I’m just telling the truth! Besides, yesterday at the Su family’s place, didn’t you hear my mom and sister trying to slander me? At that time, I warned them not to regret it!" Su Yijia flashed a sly smile at Qin Kaize’s mother.
