Chapter 145 You Left Your Stuff in My Car (1/2)

With the clothing in her hand, Tang Xia said to her mother-in-law, ”It fits you well and makes you look beautiful and younger. When you go back to the countryside and spend the Spring Festival wearing it, you can tell the folks that it was your son who bought you the clothing. They will certainly get envious.”

Jiang Yuecheng's mother thought it would be good for her son and gave a smile immediately, turning around in front of the mirror.

It was a maroon coat in Chinese style, with a knitted swastika in dark golden threads, buttons in the shape of fish, and a woven peony on the lapel, looking so true to life.

It must be mentioned that Tang Xia had good taste in clothes. Both the design and color fit Jiang Yuecheng's rural-born mother well, who looked in high spirits after dressing up.

Jiang Yuecheng's mother stroked the clothing gently and got even more satisfied as she looked up and down at herself in the mirror. Looking at her, Tang Xia became relieved. The old woman was so hard to serve and had cost her more than 500 yuan to please.

”How much was it?” Jiang Yuecheng's mother asked.

”580 yuan,” escaped Tang Xia's lips as she was lost in thought. She regretted it right after saying it. ”How could I tell her the truth? I'll be scolded once more.”

”Ah... What did you say? How dare you buy such an expansive piece of clothing? You're so fond of spending money, you hen that lays no eggs! You are incapable of giving birth to a child but are so good at spending money.

”So this is how you waste the money my son has earned? Don't you know how to save money?” ... A string of curses bolted out from Jiang Yuecheng's mother's mouth.

”Mother, I don't always spend so much money. I was buying clothes for you, how can pick out a cheap one?”

”I never waste money because my husband earns it with such difficulty, and I have to live thriftily. I spent so much money this time because I was buying clothes for you,” Tang Xia explained hurriedly.

”Hmph. Don't waste my son's money anymore. And stop standing here like a piece of wood. Dacheng works so laboriously, go and cook some dishes so that he can eat when he comes back.”

Jiang Yuecheng's mother continues scolding Tang Xia for a while, and then went to her bedroom wearing the new clothing.

”I know. I'll cook now.”

Tang Xia answered with a forced smile but murmured in her mind, ”Damned old woman, you never know what's good for you. I bought you a piece of clothing, so how can you scold me? You'll see!” Tang Xia sneered in her mind while keeping a smiling face.

Jiang Yuecheng was about to return from work. Tang Xia put the dishes she had just cooked on the table one by one. Since there was still plenty of time, she walked to the bedroom and put on makeup carefully.

Her eyebrows were thick and her eyes looked soft, while her lips were red in a natural way. She smoothed her hair, which had just been set and was fluffy and light.

Looking at the beauty in the mirror, Tang Xia picked up the corner of her lips. ”Zhou Linlin, let's have a race!” The sound of the door opening came from outside as she was in thought. Tang Xia knew it was Jiang Yuecheng and went out to greet him immediately.

Jiang Yuecheng did not even look at her when he entered. He threw off his shoes, removed his tie, and took off and threw his suit to Tang Xia, who waited for him at the door.

He headed straight for the toilet with his eyes looking steadily forward as if Tang Xia were no more than a clothes hanger. But Tang Xia did not get annoyed. She put the tie and the suit on the hanger with a smiling face, walked to the toilet, and passed a towel to Jiang Yuecheng.

Jiang Yuecheng took the towel impatiently, wiped his face, and said, ”What are you doing here? Did you get the dinner...” He stopped abruptly when he looked at Tang Xia after wiping his face, she was so beautiful today. He was suddenly turned on and rejoiced over this.

Her eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as a picture, her face was so pretty and her hair was elaborately combed. She had a slim, curvy figure and her smile made her even more attractive. What a beauty.

Jiang Yuecheng gawked at Tang Xia and thought, ”I won't get bored with such a wife in my life.”

Looking at Jiang Yuecheng, Tang Xia sneered, while she said with a bewitching smile, ”Husband, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Jiang Yuecheng came back to his senses and said, ”Tang Xia, how do you look so appealing today?” Tang Xia did not reply. Instead, she walked slowly to the couch and sat down, keeping silent. Jiang Yuecheng followed her and said, ”Why don't you talk to me, Tang Xia?”

”I'm afraid another woman may take my place if I don't make myself up,” Tang Xia said with her face looking downward. ”I used to believe that a marriage based on the wife's appearance wouldn't last long.

”You should love my soul rather than my appearance. That's why I never make myself up. I was confident that I was prettier than those who wear heavy powders even if I didn't make myself up.”

Tang Xia was about to burst into tears. ”But when I saw you and Zhou Linlin... When I saw you fawning over a woman who was more ugly than me even if she had made herself up, I realized I was wrong, deplorably wrong.

”Men love a woman's appearance, while a woman will doll herself up for the one who loves her. Now that I love you, why can't I make myself up for you?”

Jiang Yuecheng glanced at his wife, who looked sorrowful, and felt a little guilty. But at the same time, he was dissatisfied with her mentioning Zhou Linlin. So he felt restless in the end.

”I hate hearing women cry. Stop shedding tears. Don't pester me, ok? ”I'm so tired after a day's work. Could you show me your smiling face so that I can have dinner in peace?” Hearing his words, Tang Xia immediately went to prepare the tableware for him.
