Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 104: Brother-in-law is the Ex 4_1

Huang Jing got home and saw a pile of dirty clothes in the living room. She wanted to explode, but then she thought better of it.

"Can this be settled with a washing machine? Do you want to argue?"

"With this time for arguing, I might as well do some maintenance and get some rest; that’s why I’ve been so tired these days."

It was also because she was busy with the handover of memories from the original owner of her body, receiving her years of experience and thinking about why she was doing this while habitually coding.

"Although it may seem a bit indecisive in many people’s eyes, Huang Jing felt that it was good to do so. She had indeed made a lot of progress these days.

Even if she was still far from the original owner’s level, Huang Jing really wasn’t panicking anymore.

After some communication, the two came to a mutual agreement: the original owner would leave the body after they visited the Huang family and met with everyone.

As Huang Jing reviewed the benefits of the day, she directly shoved all the dirty clothes on the sofa into the washing machine.

Before, the original owner would check for underwear and socks, always hand-washing them.

But sorry, Huang Jing was not bothered if the original owner wasn’t bothered.

Especially when she used the washing machine, she would add disinfectant.

Ho Zhen happened to come out of the room and saw Huang Jing stuffing clothes into the washing machine without even checking what was included.

"Huang Jing, what are you doing? Aren’t you going to check if there are any undergarments and socks in there?"

"Don’t you know these things can’t be washed together?" Ho Zhen looked at Huang Jing, frustrated.

Was he blaming her? "Then you wash them yourself," Huang Jing was remarkably clear-cut, dumping all the clothes back onto the sofa.

"You got home this morning. Can’t you put them in the washing machine yourself, wash your own underwear and socks?"

"You really have to wait for me to come back, as if I’m supposed to do it." Huang Jing gave Ho Zhen a cold look and went straight back to her room to rest.

After all, they weren’t her clothes. It wasn’t her problem if someone else had no clothes to wear.

Hmph, with a man like this, you really can’t indulge him; otherwise, you’ll spoil him into becoming a lord of the manor.

Ho Zhen didn’t expect that by merely telling Huang Jing how to do the laundry, she would walk away from the task and leave him fuming.

"Ah, Huang Jing, what kind of attitude is that?" Ho Zhen yelled after her, "I’m working so hard, and for whom?"

"For whom?" Huang Jing scoffed. "How would I know who you’re doing it for?"

"Have you paid the rent, the utility bills?"

"How much of the household expenses have you contributed?"

"Do you really want to argue about this with me?"

"So all the money you earn, I don’t even know where it goes. You don’t deal with household chores, and you expect me to wash your clothes."

"And when I do wash them, you complain that I didn’t hand-wash?"

"I’m busy too, I’ve been so busy lately I’m dizzy, and when I come home, I just want to rest. I don’t have time for this stuff."

Huang Jing paused. "Anyway, I leave early in the morning and come back in the middle of the night. However you want to mess up the house, Huo Huo, go ahead."

"I don’t have the time or energy to manage it. If you want to do it, do it. If you don’t want to clean up but still want to Huo Huo, as you like."

"In any case, if it’s dirty, I can live at my office. It might not have beds, but I can buy a folding bed and rest at the office. After all, there are beds there, showers, and even a self-service washing machine; they all can dry directly."

The most important thing is that these are all free, so the employees don’t have to worry about these things while working overtime to create profits for the company.

Huang Jing gave Ho Zhen an unapologetic glance, then returned to her room to rest, leaving him stunned by the exchange.

Knowing that an angry Huang Jing would be utterly reckless, he could only mutter complaints softly after she went back to her room.

Huang Jing knew that Ho Zhen definitely felt resentful and unhappy, but what could she do.

She quickly went to bed to rest after all, having been tired from a day’s work, her mind was already functioning poorly.

Ho Zhen sorted the clothes in the living room, swiftly putting those like coats that could go into the washing machine.

Looking at over ten pairs of underwear and more than ten pairs of socks, he fell into deep thought.

He knew about his sweaty feet, knew that the socks didn’t smell nice, but he hadn’t expected that socks left out for so long could smell so sourly refreshing.

The problem was, if he had to hand wash these socks, Ho Zhen immediately shivered at the thought, truly unable to accept it.

Forget it, he thought, just soak them in the basin; Huang Jing should wash them when she wakes up.

To ensure that Huang Jing wouldn’t miss it, he even made a point of placing them in the bathroom, "Now let’s see what excuse there is not to wash."

As for the clothes that went into the washing machine, Ho Zhen decided he would mention it to Huang Jing in the morning.

Huang Jing, waking up the next morning, certainly noticed that big basin of soaking underwear and socks in the bathroom.

However, unfortunately for him, she only washed her own underwear and socks, and as for the rest, well, they were left just as they were.

As she hung clothes on the balcony, she of course saw the laundry in the washing machine, but she chose to ignore it.

After getting ready, Huang Jing quickly changed her clothes, packed her bag, and prepared to leave.

Groggily waking up, Ho Zhen asked, "Jing, what are we eating this morning?"

"The breakfast spot at the entrance of the community, buy whatever you like to eat." freewёbnoνel.com

"I’ll eat at my workplace."

As Huang Jing reached the door, she said, "Oh yeah, get up early, your underwear and socks from last night that you soaked in the basin can be washed."

"Also, remember to hang the clothes you washed yesterday, otherwise they’ll surely smell bad by evening," Huang Jing truly thought of herself as a good person.

What? Ho Zhen was still somewhat drowsy, but he bolted upright the moment he heard what Huang Jing said.

"You actually didn’t wash them for me, even though I sorted everything."

"And the clothes are already washed; couldn’t you just hang them out?"

Ho Zhen really didn’t understand why Huang Jing wouldn’t do the last step when all the preparatory work had been done.

"Whose clothes?" asked Huang Jing expressionlessly.

"Mine," Ho Zhen understood what Huang Jing meant. "I’m— wasn’t I tired?"

"You’re tired, but I haven’t spent the money you earned."

"So you can’t expect that from me."

"Besides, you already said they are your clothes. If you don’t want to wash them yourself, how can you expect someone else to?"

"Alright, enough, I have to get to work," she said and then closed the door behind her as she left.

Listening to the echo of the door closing in the air, Ho Zhen was genuinely baffled, unable to understand how things could have changed so much just because he went on a business trip.

Could it be someone had been badmouthing him in front of Huang Jing? Ho Zhen knew that Huang Jing’s best friend, also her colleague, didn’t think highly of him and had always encouraged Huang Jing to break up with him.

Yes, who else could it be other than her, he thought, getting angrier the more he thought about it. He felt he should calm down, give it some time, and then persuade Huang Jing to resign.

Ho Zhen had not been looking forward to visiting her parents with Huang Jing because of her attitude.

But now he had changed his mind; he must go back to have her family persuade Huang Jing to change jobs.
