Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating

Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Xu Family’s Third Brother

“Yingying, is that your third brother?” Sun Lifang’s eyes sparkled with a green light.

Xu Ying felt like laughing, “What, took a fancy to my third brother?”@@novelbin@@

In her previous life, both her third brother and second brother never got married, and she wasn’t clear whether they ever dated anyone.

But having Lifang as her sister-in-law wouldn’t be bad, though marriage is all about fate.

“No way!” Sun Lifang was a bit shy.

Despite her straightforward and carefree demeanor on normal days, matters of the heart were a different story, bringing out a bashfulness typical of young women.

“Really? If you truly took a fancy to my brother, I could ask him if he’s seeing anyone.” Xu Ying stood in front of the stove, with the window right across, allowing her a clear view of Xu Shengwu’s table.

Xu Shengwu saw his sister holding the spatula and she really looked just like a head chef.

Sun Lifang, turning her head unexpectedly, saw that handsome face looking towards them and her cheeks flushed in an instant.

“Lifang, help me serve the dishes.” Xu Ying filled the first dish into a plate and called out.

Sun Lifang nodded, took the dish and rushed to the table, setting down the food before running off.

Xu Ying cooked on two burners simultaneously, and soon, dish after dish was ready, quickly filling the restaurant with delicious aromas.

Xu Shengwu was somewhat surprised; his little sister could actually cook.

And the presentation of the food was eye-catching, both in terms of color coordination and overall appeal.

The aromatic scent of the dishes was tantalizing.

The table even boasted a full-bodied and flavorful braised pork, with the meat appearing succulent and juicy, its surface invitingly reddish, emitting a rich aroma that lingered invitingly.

The braised pork pieces were particularly large, and what mattered most was the generous amount, making a full plate that drew the eye.

Besides, there were boiled fish, mapo tofu, stir-fried tomatoes with eggs, stir-fried greens, chili stir-fried bean sprouts, smashed cucumber—a whole table full.

The men were big eaters, especially Huo Chen, who was not only strong but also had a large appetite.

Worried that Huo Chen wouldn’t have enough, Xu Ying had placed a much larger bowl of rice in front of him compared to others.

Seeing the bowl of rice different from everyone else’s in front of him, Huo Chen smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and the braised pork he tried melted in his mouth.

[Congratulations host, goodwill value +45, +45, +1, +1]

“Good lord, so much goodwill value, why does the system add so much just for Huo Chen?” Xu Ying couldn’t understand.

While others increased by one or two, this guy always brought her big surprises.

[System Level not enough, unable to check the reason. Host can upgrade the system to check, a second-level upgrade requires only 999 points.

Without upgrade, items not from this era in the host’s space can’t be used, only equivalent items from this era can be swapped.

Only with an upgrade can the host open a trading function, enabling you to have anything you want.]

“Shut up,” Xu Ying impatiently turned off the system; if she had money she wouldn’t hesitate to upgrade the system, but it constantly trying to brainwash her was annoying.

Ah, when will I be able to upgrade the system?

999 points, that’s 999 yuan, and she only had about two hundred yuan in her bag right now.

And with her salary being just over thirty yuan a month, it would take more than two years without spending a dime to upgrade the system.

Thinking of this, Xu Ying’s face was full of worry.

“What’s wrong, you look so unhappy.” Sun Lifang appeared at the window sometime, resting her chin on her hands as she asked.

Xu Ying sighed and, remembering about the house, said, “Right, Lifang, my friend said he spotted a house for me. I liked the location when he described it.

After work, he’s going to take me to see it. If the house is good, I won’t have to trouble your mom.”

Sun Lifang nodded, “If you’re short on money, let me know, I’ll lend you some.”

Xu Ying had been here for a month, but it wasn’t payday yet, and Sun Lifang worried she might be running out of money.

“I’m fine, I have money.”

Zhang Youquan, who appeared out of nowhere and walked without making a sound, heard Xu Ying talking to someone else and curiously asked, “Xu Ying, are you planning to rent a house in the county? Where?”

Sun Lifang glanced at him and snapped, “It’s none of your business if she rents a house!”

Zhang Youquan’s face turned awkward. “I was just asking, why are you getting so mad at me?”

Sun Lifang stood tall and snorted coldly, thinking to herself that this guy always had ulterior motives.

Who knows what he’s thinking, asking Xu Ying where she’s living.

“It’s none of your business, especially from a married man, to be concerned about a young woman.”

Zhang Youquan’s face flushed red. “I’m just showing concern as a colleague.”

Xu Ying didn’t believe he was that considerate and directly said, “Brother You Quan, men and women shouldn’t be so familiar; it’s not suitable for me to tell you where I live as a young woman.”

After serving the last group of customers in the store, they started preparing to close up.

Xu Ying cleaned up her area and then left work with her army green crossbody bag.

“Brother Chen, Huo Chen, let’s go,” Xu Ying called out as she walked over.

She took off her hat, and her two braids fell to her chest. To wear her work jacket, she wore a tight bodysuit underneath.

Before she had put the jacket on, Xu Ying’s perfect figure was outlined.

Huo Chen looked up at her and suddenly his face turned crimson.

“Um, aren’t you cold? Put on your clothes.”

Xu Ying quickly put on her clothes; she had walked out in a hurry earlier and forgot to wear her jacket. As soon as she stepped outside and felt the wind, she put it on without Huo Chen needing to remind her.

This time, Xu Shengwu had driven the car from their place of work, parking it in front of the restaurant.

Out of the blue, Huo Chen said, “Shengwu, I’m going to take Xu Ying to see the house. If we come to an agreement, we’ll rent it straight away.”

Xu Shengwu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Okay, then Qingsong and I will wait here for you.”

“Okay.” Huo Chen nodded and hurried over to Xu Ying’s bicycle.

Having had a bad experience once, Xu Ying was actually a bit scared of him riding: “Huo Chen, maybe I should take you.”

The starlight in Huo Chen’s eyes dimmed, and he looked downcast, “I’ll take you; I won’t fall this time.”

“Are you sure?” The last time had really hurt her, causing her pain for days.

“Yeah, get on,” Huo Chen softened his voice.

Only then did Xu Ying dare to get on the bicycle, immediately grabbing onto the corner of Huo Chen’s clothes.

Xu Shengwu saw this scene, a shadow crossing his face, and he stood up, ready to chase after them.

But Huo Chen, as if he had a premonition, pedaled away quickly.

Watching the two leave, Xu Shengwu felt some regret; he felt like he was pushing his little sister into a pit of fire.

He was quite conflicted now, as if his sister had to rely on someone, Huo Chen was a decent choice.

But seeing his sister being taken away by someone else left a bad taste in his mouth.

He looked at Wu Qingsong standing next to him with great displeasure. “When did Huo Chen get so close to my sister?”

When Wu Qingsong started talking about it, he was unstoppable: “You don’t know how amazing your sister is. Previously, Brother Chen and Old Hui encountered a pack of wolves on the mountain, and it was your sister who rescued them.

After that, the two of them got to know each other better, and there was this other time she wasn’t feeling well on the mountain and even ran into a pack of wild boars; it was Huo Chen who saved her.

You see, these two really have a fate—one saving the other.”

Xu Shengwu frowned upon hearing this. “Why was my sister feeling unwell? What was she doing up in the mountains anyway?”
