Reborn in the 1980s, the Silly Wife in Charge

Chapter 105

Li Taotao hung up the last phone call, looked in the direction of the rolling door, and walked up to the second floor silently.

Just as she was about to close the door, the phone downstairs suddenly rang.

Except for the ringing of the bell, the surrounding area was very quiet, so quiet that Li Taotao could hear the flustered sound of her heart beating faster.

"Jinglingling~~"

The phone stopped for a few minutes, then rang again.

Li Taotao took a deep breath and put the microphone to her ear. She faintly felt who the owner of the call was, but she still kept silent, pretending not to know anything and hiding her truest thoughts.

"Hello, Taotao? Can you hear me?"

As expected, He Taifang's voice came from the microphone.

"Ah."

They were silent for a few seconds.

He Taifang: "My mother has a fever, so I won't go there tonight. Are you okay by yourself?"

"No problem." It was Auntie again, last time it was Auntie's birthday, this time Auntie had a fever again, Li Taotao always felt awkward in her heart.

Her tone became more and more flat.

Probably because deep down in her unawareness, she was extremely disappointed with He Taifang.

He Taifang said: "Then go to bed early. Hang up."

"En." Li Taotao hung up the receiver without hesitation.

The store is very quiet.

The street market outside the door and window is also very quiet.

It was as if she was the only one left in the whole world.

Li Taotao went to the second floor and turned on all the lights in the house. The wattage of the light bulbs was very low, but the brightness was enough to make Li Taotao feel less lonely.

I don't know what time it was in the middle of the night, but Li Taotao curled up into a ball and fell asleep on the bed.She was awakened by the noise of the morning market in the vegetable market outside the window. After waking up, Li Taotao still felt physically exhausted. This sleep did not bring nourishment to her body and relieve her fatigue.

She folded the quilt and simply cleaned the room.The first thing she did when she went downstairs was to open the shutter door. Life seemed to be back to the old routine, and everything was in order. She washed up at the door of the store, and then went back to the store to wash rice and add water to make porridge.

After some trivial things were done, another 40 minutes passed.

Tian Lanhua probed into the store to have a look, "Where's your man? Why haven't you seen him yet?"

Li Taotao set up the folding square table, filled a bowl of porridge with a small plate of pickles.

"Oh, he's not here. What do you need from him?" Li Taotao said lightly.

Tian Lanhua curled her lips and cursed inwardly, what kind of attitude!She walked into the store, "Tsk, you just have porridge with pickles? How nutritious can it be? You don't have any eggs, but some meat?"

Li Taotao raised her eyes and glanced at her, "I just came back yesterday, how can I have so much free time to buy eggs and meat?"

Tian Lanhua sighed: "I see that when your man is around, you are full of eggs and meat. Sure enough, some people can't live without a man."

Li Taotao put the chopsticks aside.

She looked at Tian Lanhua quietly.

"Do you think eating porridge with pickles will starve people to death? Is there something wrong with your thinking? I will ask Uncle Shimoda later, what kind of good food does your family usually eat? If you have money, just give it back to Uncle Tian early."

Tian Lanhua's cheeks turned red and white, and said in a panic, "I have guests over there. My good girl, don't talk nonsense in front of Mr. Tian."

"Oh."

After watching Tian Lanhua trot out of the shop, Li Taotao felt her appetite regained. She finished a bowl of porridge and went to fill another bowl.

The pickles are very good, so she can barely fill her stomach if she has no appetite.

"You little girl, you're finally back! Where are my clothes? Hurry up and pay me back!" A middle-aged woman in a short blue shirt and black trousers angrily rushed in with a group of women.

Li Taotao looked at the middle-aged woman who took the lead. She was so angry that her face was flushed and her eyes were fierce. She reached out and grabbed Li Taotao's collar, angrily accusing her and shaking Li Taotao.

She is very strong.

It was one of the customers that Li Taotao took the order some time ago.

Among the group of women following behind, three others also paid a deposit with her.

"I'm sorry!" Li Taotao sincerely apologized, "Something happened to my family, and I'm sorry for delaying your affairs this time. I can refund your deposit and make the clothes you ordered and send them to you for free."

The middle-aged woman who was holding onto Li Taotao's collar released her hand in doubt, "Really?"

"Well, this time it's my problem." Li Taotao said, and returned the deposits that had been prepared to them one by one.

Another appointment was made to pick up the clothes, and the group of women who came to make trouble dispersed one after another.

Tian Lanhua saw the situation here from afar.

When Li Taotao easily settled the matter, the gloating on Tian Lanhua's face disappeared immediately, and she beckoned the group of women to come to her shop to chat.

"So you know each other?" Li Taotao asked Tian Lanhua as she watched them all go to Tian Lanhua's side.

"Isn't Boss Tian telling us, or he didn't know you were back yet." The middle-aged woman who got the benefits answered Tian Lanhua with a smile.

Tian Lanhua looked embarrassed.

Li Taotao looks down on people like Tian Lanhua more and more, and always looks down on others.

She was thinking about what to have for lunch when she heard the phone in the store ring.

When the distance was a little closer, she picked up the phone after it rang twice, "Hello?"

"Peach, I can't go to accompany you tonight."

He Taifang's voice came from the other end.

Li Taotao was silent.

There was a middle-aged woman coughing violently in the background, as if she was dying of illness. Li Taotao was terrified to hear it through the phone.

That voice, Li Taotao remembered, was He Mu Chen Jinhua.

In the previous life, He's father and mother looked down on her low education, He's father was nothing, but He's mother, Chen Jinhua, made things difficult for her and suppressed her. For a while, Li Taotao was depressed, but it was not popular at that time, and it was only in later generations that Li Taotao understood how miserable her married life was.

"It's okay. You stay with your mother well. I'm good at this side, so you don't have to worry about it." Probably during this period of time, Li Taotao's attitude became indifferent as soon as the man grabbed a lot of her.

He Taifang said guiltily: "I asked Jintang to send you the passbook."

"Well, thank you." The turnover funds on hand were getting less and less, and Li Taotao thought about making money in the future and returning the principal with interest, so he didn't shirk with He Taifang.

"I will keep a distance from Chen Siqing." He Taifang was silent for a moment, then said suddenly.

"En." Li Taotao had a lot of doubts, but finally swallowed it back, and calmly explained the matter.

The two fell into a stalemate for a while.

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up." Li Taotao waited for three seconds before hanging up the phone.

He Taifang on the other end was holding the handset that echoed the busy tone, his heart was full of powerlessness and frustration.
