"It's so hot." Li Xiujuan couldn't help complaining after picking up the trash for a while.

It is already mid-July and the mornings on the island have become hot. It is too hot to stay in the sun without moving, let alone go to the beach.

Since the weather has gotten hotter, there are fewer people coming to the beach to catch seafood, not as many as when it was cooler.

Li Xiujuan wiped the sweat off her face and kept glancing towards "Haiyun Cottage".

Ever since she tasted the benefits of using the air conditioning in the store last time, she has been going there quite often recently.

Not to mention that the air conditioner is really cool. As soon as you enter, you can feel the heat all over your body being dispelled. It is like two different worlds inside and outside the door.

Otherwise, there are so many people in the store. In such a hot day, who wouldn’t want to stay in that air-conditioned room?

"Recently, you've been picking up less and less seafood. Do you still want to make money?" Jiang Sisi noticed Li Xiujuan's intention and immediately shouted at her.

During this period, Li Xiujuan often went to the restaurant to use the air conditioning, and she saw it all.

Although she also wanted to go, she felt uncomfortable when she thought of Jiang Yushan working there.

Since she couldn't go, naturally she didn't want Li Xiujuan to go.

What's more, Li Xiujuan would be gone for half a day, so the work of catching seafood fell on her alone. Naturally, Jiang Sisi was even more unwilling.

"You talk too much! What's your business about my business?" Li Xiujuan glared at her and cursed at her.

But seeing the way she looked away, it seemed that she had given up the idea of ​​using the air conditioner for free.

Jiang Sisi stopped talking and continued looking for seafood on the beach.

Li Xiujuan lingered in the scorching sun for a long time. The sunlight was like a ruthless tongue of fire, licking every inch of her skin, making her feel as if she was in a furnace.

Under the sunlight, the blood in my body seemed to boil and the sweat kept flowing down. No matter how many times I wiped it off, it was of no use.

The clothes were soaked with sweat, and the sticky feeling made Li Xiujuan very uncomfortable.

She looked up at Jiang Sisi who was not far away and confirmed that she was going to the beach and had not noticed this side. She suddenly felt a sense of joy at having escaped.

So, she took advantage of this opportunity, turned around and ran to "Haiyun Cottage", as if it was her only refuge at the moment.

She pushed the restaurant's curtain hard, and instantly, a cool air mixed with the rich aroma of food rushed towards her, like a downpour after a long drought, which brought great comfort to her body and mind.

The coolness seemed to be substantial, gently wrapping her up and dispelling the heat and fatigue from her body.

"Gulu..."

Just then, Li Xiujuan's stomach made a loud noise.

The bowl of porridge that I hurriedly drank in the morning had long since turned into nothing after a long search and the scorching sun, leaving only an empty feeling of hunger.

Smelling the delicious food in the restaurant, her stomach naturally protested and clamored for more.

"Although the weather is getting hot, eating coconut chicken in an air-conditioned room still has a unique flavor." A customer walked leisurely past Li Xiujuan, holding a steaming bowl of coconut chicken that exuded an enticing aroma.

The rich coconut aroma and the delicious chicken tasted like an invisible hook, piercing Li Xiujuan's nose.

This caused her mouth to saliva to be secreted involuntarily, and the glutton in her stomach began to stir.

She swallowed and followed the tempting coconut chicken with her eyes until it disappeared from her sight.

"Speaking of this coconut chicken, it's the perfect match with a bowl of iced fruit salad! It's refreshing and refreshing, and you can't stop eating it!" Another voice sounded at the right time, with a bit of pride.

Then, the man ordered a bowl of fruit salad without hesitation. His decisiveness made Li Xiujuan envious.

After a while, a military wife came over with a bowl of crystal clear fruits. The colorful fruits in the bowl looked like a rainbow in summer, and each fruit exuded an attractive luster.

The cool air coming out of the bowl made Li Xiujuan feel as if a breeze was blowing through her heart, taking away all the heat and discomfort.

These two items have always been selling well in the store. She had been craving them for days, but she had no money to buy them.

She came over to use the air conditioning, and sometimes she couldn't help but quietly took out money to buy soup dumplings or shrimp dumplings.

However, lunch is more expensive than breakfast, and she couldn't bear to spend so much money, so she could only watch and smell it.

Li Xiujuan took a deep breath, trying to inhale more of the fragrance, as if this would help alleviate the hunger in her stomach.

"Would you like some coconut chicken?" Jiang Yushan came over and asked.

When she came out from feeding the chickens, she saw Li Xiujuan staring at the customer's coconut chicken. Her greedy eyes made people wonder if she would grab it the next second.

Jiang Yushan learned from Hu Xiaowen and the others that Li Xiujuan often came to use the air conditioning. Looking at her appearance now, she couldn't help but worry that it would affect other guests.

After all, no one likes someone to stare at them while they eat.

"The store sells a serving of coconut chicken, which comes with rice. Would you like one?" Jiang Yushan had a decent smile on his face.

When Hu Xiaowen noticed this side, her heart immediately tightened and she hurried over here.

She was really worried that Li Xiujuan would suddenly go crazy and hurt Jiang Yushan.

When Li Xiujuan heard the question, she turned around and was stunned when she saw Jiang Yushan’s smiling face. Then she noticed her bulging belly and was even more shocked.

She had been pregnant before and knew that a belly like this would mean she had been pregnant for at least several months.

Instantly, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, especially when she saw Jiang Yushan becoming more and more beautiful. The smiling face just now made even her stunned for a while before she recovered, and her mood became even more complicated.

They are all daughters of the Jiang family, and they got married at about the same time, so why is there such a big difference?

Li Xiujuan stared at Jiang Yushan's bulging belly, feeling both envious and secretly resentful of Jiang Sisi's belly.

If she had known earlier, she should have married Jiang Yushan. She is beautiful, hardworking, and has a good fertility rate. She is a perfect match for Yingfan in their family.

Why did he marry that unlucky girl Jiang Sisi at that time?

"Do you want to buy coconut chicken?" Jiang Yushan asked again when he saw that she didn't say anything.

Noticing that Li Xiujuan was staring at her belly, Jiang Yushan took two steps back without saying a word.

Although she and Li Xiujuan had basically no intersection in this life, people would not care about that when they were jealous.

"No need." Li Xiujuan came back to her senses and shook her head.

She couldn't come up with the money, but she still had to save her face. At least she couldn't lose face in front of the woman who sent her son to the police station.

Since she wasn't going to buy anything now, she didn't stay in the store and turned away.

Although she left because she was so hungry after staying in the store and smelling the fragrance.
