Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Li Si’s New Wife?

If Fu Xiaoxiao could hear Li Si’s thoughts, she would definitely make Lu Feng give him a good beating to wake him from his daydream.

He’s been acting like a lord at home for so many years, yet still hasn’t changed his ways, even thinking he has a throne to inherit! He’s shameless.

Listening to the joyous sounds from next door, Li Si felt even lonelier and more miserable.

"Li Si, are you there?" Someone was knocking on the door and calling out to Li Si non-stop.

"Who is it? Making such a racket during the New Year?" Li Si irritably scratched his head, threw on some clothes, and went out, only to find Chen Hong at the door, accompanied by a woman he hadn’t seen before, holding a bag.

"This is Liu Xiaocao, sent here by your family to care for you," Chen Hong said, bringing Liu Xiaocao over to Li Si and asking him to sign a paper before leaving.

Li Si frowned at Liu Xiaocao, who was glancing around without a hint of shyness. "You’re Liu Xiaocao? Who sent you here to care for me?"

"Your mother! She said you’re an officer. My husband passed away, she found my family and asked me to look for you." Liu Xiaocao took a glance at Li Si and smirked. "Your mother bragged about you like you’re the best thing ever, said marrying you was like burning high incense, that you can’t do without a woman by your side."

"Anyway, I’m technically a widow without a place to stay, so I brought my luggage over!" Liu Xiaocao clapped her hands and extended her hand to Li Si. "Your mother also said you’d give me twenty bucks a month; I’m telling you upfront, I can cook and clean but don’t act like you’re some lord around me, or I’ll knock you down a peg."

Liu Xiaocao had inquired about Li Si and Chen Xiu’s divorce reasons before coming here; she thought Chen Xiu was too soft to handle Li Si, couldn’t even manage her own man, which was too weak.

"What nonsense is this! My previous wife only got ten bucks a month," Li Si frowned, looking at Liu Xiaocao’s unsophisticated demeanor, feeling put off.

"I don’t care how much your ex-wife got! Now you have to give me twenty bucks, or I’ll make a fuss in front of your boss!" Liu Xiaocao wasn’t afraid of him, stubbornly clinging on.

"Also, you have to cover my travel expenses to get here; all agreed upon by your mother, and not a penny less!" Liu Xiaocao reached out to Li Si for money.

"I don’t have money." Li Si’s face darkened; most of his money had been stolen by a brat, and now he only had about twenty bucks left. Give it to Liu Xiaocao and he’d have nothing.

"Fine, I’ll go find your boss." Liu Xiaocao grabbed her bag and was ready to meet the boss.

Seeing Liu Xiaocao’s stance, Li Si didn’t dare gamble; if she really went to the boss, he’d definitely not get away unscathed.

Because of the divorce, his promotion had been delayed; he couldn’t let the boss catch him out again.

"Alright, alright, I’ll give it to you!" Li Si fished out twenty bucks from his pocket and stuffed it into Liu Xiaocao’s hand.

"That’s better! You’re hungry, right? I’ll cook some noodles for you." Liu Xiaocao finally smiled in triumph seeing the money, quickly bringing her luggage inside to cook for Li Si.

Watching Liu Xiaocao diligently heading to cook for him, Li Si huffed lightly.

So what if Chen Xiu left? He has found a new woman anyway, though she’s already been married, she still seems alright.

Feeling smug, Liu Xiaocao served a bowl of dark noodles.

"What is this?" Li Si stiffly looked at Liu Xiaocao and picked at the noodles with his chopsticks, the darkness swallowing the chopsticks whole.

"Noodles! First time cooking, feeling a bit rusty; it’ll get better with practice! Make do with it; it’s better than starving, wasting food is disgraceful." Liu Xiaocao waved her hand at Li Si, telling him not to be fussy.

Though a bit dark, the taste wasn’t terrible.

Li Si helplessly began to eat.

A gleam of triumph passed through Liu Xiaocao’s eyes as she turned towards the kitchen. "You eat first, I’ll tidy up the kitchen."

Li Si nodded with satisfaction, she seemed industrious.

Unknown to him, upon returning to the kitchen, Liu Xiaocao joyfully ate her own bowl of noodles, which was perfectly cooked, complete with an egg and garnished with green vegetables – unlike Li Si’s dark mess.

"Dreaming of being some lord served by others, you should just eat more of the burnt pot scrapings to scrub your black heart!" Liu Xiaocao chuckled to herself.

Li Si was oblivious; his dark bowl was because Liu Xiaocao scraped the pot bottom.

After finishing the noodles, Li Si felt much better and lay down to nap, but Liu Xiaocao entered and dragged him up.

"The house is so dirty, don’t you know to get up and tidy it a bit? How can you ignore this mess, it’s disgusting! Hurry up and clean the place with me." Liu Xiaocao shoved a broom into Li Si’s hands, making him clean.

"This is supposed to be your job... you took my twenty bucks!" Li Si gritted his teeth as he looked at Liu Xiaocao; he never had to clean before, as Chen Xiu was considerate and never let him touch a thing because of his tough training.

"Do I owe you something? Is that twenty bucks not for living expenses? Were you supposed to eat air? Let me tell you, that’s household money, everything costs money!" Liu Xiaocao smacked the table and glared at Li Si. "Stop whining, hurry up and clean!"

"Such a big man acting like a useless thing, look at the men next door all cleaning and tidying, and you have the audacity to lay there? Is this not your house?" Liu Xiaocao yelled loudly.

Li Si was scolded like a dog, not daring to utter a word, and finally started sweeping to keep her quiet.

"That’s more like it!" Liu Xiaocao sneered and went off to do other tasks.

Fu Xiaoxiao heard the commotion next door and naturally noticed Liu Xiaocao, exchanging glances with Lu Feng – this was the Li Family finding Li Si a new wife?

Judging by the noise, she didn’t seem easy to deal with.

"Li Si is actually sweeping!" Fu Xiaoxiao watched Li Si obediently sweeping, astonishingly looking at Lu Feng.

"He deserved to be sorted out; he was too comfortable being waited on. Now this woman is just right for dealing with him!" Lu Feng had perceived it when Chen Hong brought Liu Xiaocao.

Listening for a while, Fu Xiaoxiao found Li Si being ordered around by Liu Xiaocao, too suppressed to even fart.

"This Liu Xiaocao is Li Si’s karmic retribution!" Fu Xiaoxiao laughed, it was just the punishment Li Si deserved.

If one doesn’t cherish a good wife, then someone would come to set them straight, he totally deserved it!

It was gratifying, that’s how it should be!

Fu Xiaoxiao and Lu Feng stood up and came face to face with Liu Xiaocao.

...

It got awkward for a moment.

Fu Xiaoxiao rubbed her nose, feeling somewhat unsure.

Liu Xiaocao glanced at Fu Xiaoxiao, proactively speaking. "You’re the village chief’s adopted daughter, right?"

Village chief? Adopted daughter?

"You’re from Taoyuan Village?" Fu Xiaoxiao was taken aback and looked at Liu Xiaocao.
