Chapter 199 The Mother of Char Siu Man 2 (25)
"You've already finished eating, do you expect me, a grown man, to clean up after you?"
Upon hearing Luo Yefan's accusatory words, Shu Qing's face immediately turned bright red.
"I thought..."
Shu Qing's voice grew softer and softer, making it difficult for anyone to understand what she was thinking.
Considering his current situation, Luo Yefan decided to patiently communicate with Shu Qing.
"Qingqing, our family has gone bankrupt, so we have to learn to do these things ourselves! You're a good girl, and you don't want to live a life where you're waited on, right?"
Shu Qing instinctively wanted to refute, but couldn't find an excuse for the moment.
What could she say? Did she really want to live that kind of life where she was treated like royalty and waited on hand and foot?
If she says those words, won't she become that vain woman? Then what's the difference between her and other materialistic women?
She wouldn't allow herself to become like that!
Thinking of this, Shu Qing immediately replied, "I was too tired just now, and I forgot about it for a moment! Brother Fan, I'll go wash up now!"
However, upon closer observation, one can detect a slightly unnatural expression on Shu Qing's face as she spoke these words.
Upon hearing Shu Qing's answer, Luo Yefan's expression finally softened.
It seems that Shu Qing is not beyond redemption!
Wait, she said she's tired, is there something wrong? Doesn't she cook for herself? What's she tired of?
Although he ultimately achieved his goal, Luo Yefan still felt a little strange inside.
Correspondingly, although Shu Qing started washing the dishes, she was still nagging to herself.
"Don't you know washing dishes hurts your hands? And you still make me do it! I'll wash your xxx! Men are all the same, they don't appreciate what they have!"
……
Through Xiao Ba's broadcast, Xia Mingwei saw Shu Qing's gloomy face.
She clicked her tongue. "Judging from her expression, she used really foul language!"
But then she laughed. Isn't this the standard for an innocent, naive female lead?
Regardless of her true thoughts, she must present herself to outsiders as pure and free from vanity!
She can only wait for people to willingly offer up their wealth, refusing to be corrupted by the sugar-coated bullets of money!
However, Xia Mingwei was wrong about one thing: she overestimated Shu Qing's patience.
Before Shu Qing could quietly finish washing all the dishes, Xia Mingwei heard the sound of porcelain bowls shattering in the kitchen.
Luo Yefan naturally didn't miss this sudden sound.
Shu Qing looked at Luo Yefan with teary eyes and said carefully, "Brother Fan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"
This is the second time Luo Yefan has heard the words "I'm sorry" today.
His face was ashen, and he didn't know what to say to express his feelings.
You should know that before he officially pursued Shu Qing, she supported herself and Shu Bao Bao by washing dishes abroad!
What is she trying to do by smashing plates and bowls now?
Is she expressing her dissatisfaction?
Now that his family is in this situation, should he still indulge her bad temper?
Thinking of this, Luo Yefan said, "If the plate is broken, we can just buy another one. As long as Qingqing is alright, that's all that matters!"
But before Shu Qing's smile could fade, Luo Yefan continued.
"I forgot, Qingqing, you must be having a hard time adjusting to this new role! How about this, from now on you'll wash all the dishes at home. This will not only lighten your load but also help you get used to it!"
Shu Qing froze for a moment, unable to believe that these were the words spoken by Luo Yefan, who had been so obedient to her not long ago!
How could he say such cold and heartless words?
Doesn't he have a heart?
She had already subtly expressed her wishes, so why was he forcing her to do something she didn't like?
Sure enough, no man is any good!
Shu Qing didn't want to be the one doing all the chores like washing dishes in the future, so she spoke up to defend herself: "But I just broke a plate. I'm really too clumsy. I can't even do such a small thing right!"
As she spoke, Shu Qing tapped her head with her hand, making a show of annoyance.
But Luo Yefan, who had already realized Shu Qing's true intentions, hesitated to speak. "Qingqing, no one blames you for not doing this well! But we still have to live our lives, and you have to learn this skill eventually, don't you think?"
"But, but..."
Shu Qing wanted to say something more, but Luo Yefan ruthlessly interrupted her.
"There are no 'buts,' this is settled!"
Luo Yefan's face was expressionless, but anyone could hear the unwavering determination in his words.
"Oh, right, Qingqing, to make sure you remember this, you'll have to pay for the broken bowls!"
"From now on, you'll be the one washing any broken plates or bowls!"
Hearing this, Shu Qing's eyes turned red with anger.
Why is this guy so stingy?
It's just a few broken bowls and chopsticks, is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it?
I was so blind to have thought he was such a charming and wealthy young man!
Without his family's money, he's nothing!
Nowadays, people are so meticulous about even a few cents.
It seems she needs to make plans soon! The bankrupt Luo family is not a long-term solution!
Shu Qing had a vague premonition in her heart; she felt that if she stayed in this place any longer, she would go crazy!
But now is not the best time to break off relations. Shu Qing gritted her teeth and said, suppressing her anger, "Brother Fan, I understand. I will go buy bowls and chopsticks!"
Determined not to be looked down upon, Shu Qing quickly repaired the broken bowls and chopsticks.
Xia Mingwei was fully aware of everything that happened in the kitchen.
But she didn't want to say anything more, because she didn't need to get involved in this trivial matter at all!
Let Luo Yefan and Shu Qing fight it out now, just for fun, it's a good choice!
Over the next few days, under Xia Mingwei's relentless sarcasm and reminders, the two finally resigned themselves to their fate and went out to look for jobs!
But jobs aren't so easy to find.
Compensation, salary, and work environment are all issues that must be considered.
So, after searching for jobs for several days, the two of them still found nothing and received no news at all.
The two were rejected for different reasons.
Shu Qing was rejected because she lacked work experience and her education level was insufficient.
Luo Yefan, on the other hand, was too ambitious and looked down on ordinary jobs. More importantly, he didn't want to work for his old friends!
If you have to listen to their mockery to get a job, then you might as well not have the job at all!
But with the due date for paying household expenses drawing ever closer, the two of them couldn't care less and had no choice but to start working despite their reluctance.
