Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

Chapter 412: Passerby in the Period Literature 8

In the evening, smoke from cooking rose from the roofs of the military family quarters. Wang Yuxia squatted in front of the faucet in her yard, rubbing the cabbage stalks in her hands.

The water was icy cold, and her fingers turned red from the cold, but the irritation in her heart was worse than the cold.

Since the afternoon, she hasn't seen Meng Qiqi, and the door of the next room has been closed.

It was getting dark when Lu Ye came out of the house, straightening his military uniform with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing the strong muscles on his forearms.

He walked towards the kitchen with a smile on his face and humming a little tune. It was obvious that he was in a very good mood.

Wang Yuxia tightened her grip on the vegetables, leaving deep marks on the leaves with her nails.

"You vixen, you only know how to seduce people!" She cursed in a low voice and looked around, afraid of being heard.

In fact, Wang Yuxia has been feeling angry ever since Meng Qiqi followed Lu Ye to the army.

As they are both military dependents, why is Meng Qiqi held in such high regard by Lu Ye and praised wherever she goes?

Thinking about his own life, Lin Jinghui was always busy and was nowhere to be seen, and the two of them would quarrel after just a few words.

Just as I was thinking about it, Lu Ye was already busy in the kitchen.

He put the pot on the stove, stuffed some firewood into the furnace, and the flames shot up.

Wang Yuxia deliberately made the vegetable sink clink to attract attention, but Lu Ye didn't even raise his head, concentrating on cutting the potatoes in his hand.

"Comrade Lu!" Wang Yuxia put on a smile and walked over with a half-washed basin of vegetables. "I washed some extra vegetables. You and your sister-in-law can have an extra meal tonight."

She deliberately emphasized the word "sister-in-law" but glanced into the room, wanting to see what Meng Qiqi was doing.

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the dish: "Thank you so much, Comrade Yuxia!"

He scratched his head and said, "Qiqi is a little tired this afternoon and is resting in the house. I was just about to make some porridge for her."

Hearing this, Wang Yuxia felt even worse, but she still smiled: "Sister-in-law is weak and needs to take more supplements. Unlike me, I am a rough man and have to do all the work myself."

As he spoke, he sighed deliberately, "Jinghui is very busy, and I'm the only one taking care of things at home and outside."

Lu Ye was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond, so he could only say: "Brother Jinghui is also working. When he is free, he will definitely help you more."

He turned around and looked at the water in the pot. "My porridge is almost boiling. Comrade Yuxia, you go ahead and do your work."

Looking at Lu Ye's back as he lowered his head to stir the porridge, Wang Yuxia gritted her teeth and turned back to her yard.

The iron pot on the stove was burning brightly, but she had no intention of cooking at all.

His mind was full of Meng Qiqi lying in the house enjoying herself while Lu Ye was busy serving her. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Isn't it just that she's good-looking and knows how to act weak?" She muttered quietly while chopping vegetables, "What's so great about that!"

The chopping board made a loud clattering sound, and the splashing juice splashed onto her apron, but she didn't even bother to wipe it off.

Just as I was sulking, I heard Meng Qiqi's voice from next door: "Lu Ye, I'm hungry!"

The voice was coquettish and sweet to the point of being sickening.

Wang Yuxia almost lost her grip on the kitchen knife and wanted to rush over to argue, but in the end she just threw the vegetables into the pot. The splashing hot oil burned the back of her hand.

That night, Wang Yuxia took two bites of rice and pushed the bowl and chopsticks away.

The moonlight outside the window sprinkled into the yard. The smell of food and the laughter of two people next door wafted over, making her heart ache.

She lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, staring at the ceiling, wondering: Why is Meng Qiqi living such a good life? She's the one who should be loved...

In the following days, whenever Wang Yuxia saw Lu Ye and Meng Qiqi being affectionate, she felt like a thorn in her heart.

She began to say some sarcastic words in front of the military families, hinting that Meng Qiqi was lazy and cunning.

But everyone can see clearly that Meng Qiqi helps the military families with their work on weekdays, never complains, and she and Lu Ye are truly in love.

Gradually, no one wanted to respond to Wang Yuxia's words, but she became more and more paranoid, trapping herself in the quagmire of jealousy, sinking deeper and deeper.
