Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

Chapter 161 Possessing the Spirit of Xiaoqiang

The next morning, Lu Jinan and He Xi went for their first morning run after they reconciled. The warm-up exercises were the same: thirty-five sit-ups and squats.

He Fei "kindly" pulled Xiao Yan's ear and woke him up: "Still sleeping? Look, Lu Jinan even knew to get up and cook. What about you?"

"Oh my god! He Fei, it's fine if you don't give me a good morning kiss, but why do you also abuse me?" Xiao Yan screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

"Domestic violence? Did you infect He Xi?"

He Fei grabbed Xiao Yan's ear and accused him of his words and actions: "Get up and cook. Lu Jinan went jogging this morning. This is a good opportunity for you to show off. My dad is getting more and more satisfied with him. You just have to wait and eat the ready-made food."

What? Lu Jinan was defeated again. He jumped up instantly, and put on his clothes without even opening his eyes. "I can't cook."

"You don't know how to learn?"

Today's breakfast is rich and colorful, but also mixed. The rice porridge smells like burnt rice, the buns have fallen off the bottom, the garlic and eggplant are so delicious that the salt seller is killed, and the expressions of the diners are also varied.

Lu Jinan's gaze lingered briefly on Xiao Yan's face, and he curled his lips: "What is the meaning of Chef Xiao cooking today?"

Lu Jinan picked a relatively complete bun and placed it on the small plate in front of He Xi: "Where's your bib?"

He Xi: “…”

Don't be so blunt, it's just that I like to drip oil on my body when I eat. Eight out of ten meals will get my clothes dirty. After each meal, I must use a small piece of soap to wash the dirty parts of my shirt.

A short-sleeved T-shirt was wet in one place and another place after she washed it. Should I change clothes? No, I can't afford to change clothes for a child who has never grown up.

The five of them sat around the dining table. The food was not very good, but their attitude was good. Father He smiled and said, "Xiao Yan, how are you and He Fei reviewing?"

He Xi: “…”

It's so hard to have a meal in your house. It starts to make things difficult early in the morning.

Xiao Yan: "It's good. He Fei made a study plan and we can both complete it on time."

He's father glanced at He Xi without leaving a trace: "That's good, you two are already married and are a whole. You should discuss everything and avoid quarreling and fighting."

Lu Jinan: I am the one who commits domestic violence!

Xiao Yan defended He Xi: "We know that He Xi's grades are actually pretty good. It's all Lu's fault this year. He pursues perfection, and He Xi must pursue perfection like him. He doesn't understand that people's pursuits are different."

Lu Jinan and Xiao Yan's eyes met in the air, and they understood each other tacitly, okay, okay, okay, we must sort out the first and second place, right?

He Xi looked at He Fei: "Did you say something?"

He Fei avoided his gaze, lowered her head to drink the porridge in the bowl, and was unwilling to say anything, but her behavior directly showed that she must have said something.

He Xi's eyes slowly moved down from He Fei's face and focused on her bowl. After a while, He Xi pursed her lips and said, "Don't drink it. If you eat too much, you will feel uncomfortable at work later."

"Hmm. No more toilet paper." Father He put down his chopsticks and was the first to leave the table.

Lu Jinan urgently took back the bun he had just given to He Xi. Half of it was missing. Fortunately, he ate the least among the five people.

Time to go to work early.

No one knew who spread the news that Lu Jinan and He Xi were in a cold war, and the educated youth team was discussing:

"No wonder, he's been displeased with everyone lately, and he's never satisfied with any work."

"No, the one who suffers the most is Li Zhi. Captain Lu finds fault with her all the time."

"Is there a possibility that Li Zhi was the one who instigated the relationship between him and He Xi, and that's why Captain Lu targeted her."

"No, I think it was Li Zhi who seduced Captain Lu, and He Xi found out, which led to family conflicts."

Li Zhi, who was isolated by other male educated youth, stared at the progress of others' work. She felt that she was falling further and further behind and began to get anxious. The male educated youth had not always ignored her before and at least offered her a helping hand. But now the situation had completely changed.

He Xi brought meals to the four people who were working. The temperature turned cooler in the morning and evening, but the sun was still scorching near noon. Today, the place where they worked was far from their homes, so it was inconvenient to go back and forth for meals.

He Xi wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her skin was originally white, and it became even whiter in the sun. When she passed by a tree, she heard someone discussing her. She frowned subconsciously: "Li Zhi, it seems that you miss me again?"

"I miss you?" Li Zhi was surprised.

"So you have a crush on me?"

"I……"

He Xi was very distressed. None of them was the case. Then why was he nagging her all the time? She felt her ears burning every day. It turned out that Li Zhi was nagging her behind her back.

Li Zhi suddenly thought of something and asked proudly, "Did you have a fight with Lu Jinan?"

The other female educated youth also looked over and echoed: "You quarreling makes us suffer. He has a bad face every day."

He Xi did not deny it and nodded.

Li Zhi had been waiting for this moment for many days. She wanted to seize any point that could make He Xi uncomfortable, hit it hard, magnify it, and dig it out. Everything that He Xi originally had should have been hers. Originally, she could escape from the predicament if she got one of Lu Jinan or Xiao Yan.

He Xi is now spoiled by Lu Jinan. She has counterattacked from a country girl to become a beautiful white swan. The girl in front of her has red lips, fair skin, delicate features, a pair of big watery eyes, and well-proportioned straight long legs. Most importantly, she doesn't have to work.

She was also delicate before going to the countryside, but now she is aggressive, with a dark complexion and rough fingers. He Xi is living the life she longs for, which is absolutely unacceptable.

"Tell me, have you used any evil magic? Otherwise, your change is really too great." Li Zhi stared at He Xi, hoping to see some clues.

He Xi put down the lunch box in her hand, crossed her arms, and smiled softly: "If I have any evil magic, I will definitely use it on you first. After all, you pay so much attention to me."

After these words were spoken, Li Zhi's face turned noticeably paler. He Xi's mother knew those things, so did He Xi know something about it? Was it her fault that she had been getting more and more unlucky recently?

Li Zhi gritted her teeth and hated He Xi in her heart. If she hadn't died and had taken the initiative to make changes, she would definitely not be what she is now.

She suddenly grabbed He Xi's arm, her eyes reddened: "Did you cast a spell on me too? No wonder I've been so unlucky lately."

He Xi felt pain and struggled to push Li Zhi away: "I don't know what you are talking about. I have never done anything to you. Put away your paranoia and stop being so sentimental."

He Xi bent down to pick up the lunch box and prepared to leave. She roared in her ears: "He Xi, why do you live so well? You have no burden at home, your fiancé loves you, your sister and brother-in-law protect you, and your appearance has changed dramatically. Why do you have the best?"

He Xi shook his head, walked away, and said, "Nothing can be changed overnight. I may have paid the price of my life in places you can't see. Promise me one thing and don't pester me like Xiaoqiang."

"Xiao Qiang? Who is that?" The female educated youth looked at each other in confusion.
