Kiss Husband: Sweet Wife Is a Little Crisp - Chapter 17

Chapter 17 Where did the money come from?

Seeing the rudimentary migrant workers’ rented house, there was a kind of unspeakable bitterness in Ling Xi’s heart. After getting off the car, she carefully looked at the house. There seemed to be some vicissitudes of life, and the rusty iron fence seemed as if it would peel off if gently touched.

The white walls had long been yellowed and blackened by soot, and rubbish piled up downstairs, and the air exuded a sour and smelly scent because no one had cleaned it up.

“Sis, our family is out of water again.” A big boy with a head full of foam from washing powder head poked his head out of the balcony and shouted into the house.

“What? You wait, I’m going to find the landlord.”

The girl was cooking. After she heard what her brother said, she turned off the gas at once.

The boy complained with a bare arm.

As soon as the girl opened the door, she saw the landlord she was going to look for. “Auntie Lin, you’re just in time. Why did the water stop again?”

The landlady looked impatient and crossed her arms over her chest. “When are you going to pay the rent? You’ve been in arrears for three months, today I have to give a message.”

“Auntie Lin, I’m sorry, I’ve got the cash ready, but I forgot to give it to you.”

The girl turned around and took six thousand out of the house, and the boy stared at the money in his sister’s hand, wondering, where did she get the money?

“Auntie, you count, this is six thousand yuan, by the way, the rent for the last three months has also been paid.”

At the sight of the money, the landlady’s cloudy face became clear, and after a few moments, spat on her fingers, and continued to count, “En, it’s a lot, that is, my heart is good. I pity you because you’re poor. Otherwise, I would have kicked you out earlier. Alright, wait for a while, then turn on the water faucet again.”

“Oh, okay, thank you, Aunt Lin, go slowly.”

As soon as she closed the door, the boy came in from the balcony. “Sis, what’s with the money? How do you have so much?”

The girl was somewhat guilty and quickly removed her eyes, afraid of what he would see. “The money was borrowed from my classmate in college.”

The boy believed, light shining in his eyes. “Your classmate is so rich? Can you borrow a little more? So you don’t have to leave school!”

The girl’s face showed a moment of panic. “I’m telling you, don’t tell mom that I want to leave school, do you hear me? You just have to take care of yourself, you have to take the college entrance exam in a year. You have to firmly grasp it.”

“I know it.” The boy walked back to the balcony with foam on his head.

A knock sounded on the door again, and the girl thought it her mom was back. “Mom, you’re back…” As soon as she opened the door, she didn’t even think about it. With a ‘slap’ she shut the door again.

Ling Xi who was rejected at the door looked awkwardly at Xu Yizhi beside her, “I’m sorry.”

She knew she should have come by herself.

“Don’t worry so much.”

With that, he went forward and knocked on the door.

“Sis who’s out there? Why don’t you open the door?”

The girl ignored the knock on the door, with disdain and indifference on her face. “Why should I open the door when a white-eyed wolf has come?”

“Are you saying Ling Xi is here?” Didn’t she say she had nothing to do with them?

“Nonsense, who else but her?”

“Sis, then go open the door ah!”

“I’m not going! Leading a wolf into the room, there’s no good end, you forgot what she did to mom, what she did to us?”

“Of course I remember, that’s why I have to curse at her. She’s rich, isn’t she?”

The girl was silent.

When the door was opened, a beautiful and exquisite face appeared, the skin was so delicate that even a pore couldn’t be seen.
