“Xiaoxiao, do you feel like you don't have enough money?” Zhao Guangcai suddenly asked. 0
“Not at all, why would you ask that?” Zhang Xiaoxiao replied, puzzled. 0
“You're going to work, aren't you just complaining about having too little money?” Zhao Guangcai said. 0
“I’m not complaining about the money; I just want to find something to do,” Zhang Xiaoxiao explained. 0
“Why? Isn’t life good right now?” Zhao Guangcai asked, confused. 0
“But I feel a bit bored; every day is just eating or sleeping, or playing around. It’s not very interesting,” Zhang Xiaoxiao said gloomily. 0
“Xiaoxiao, if you really want to do something, I can help you find some easy jobs,” Zhao Guangcai said seriously. 0
“Guangcai, do you know what I like to do?” Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly asked. 0
“What do you like to do?” Zhao Guangcai inquired. 0
“I don’t know either,” Zhang Xiaoxiao said, troubled. 0
“Then what did you like to do before?” Zhao Guangcai reminded her. 0
“I didn’t seem to have much to do before either; it was just going to class and coming home, then back to class again. During breaks, I would go out with classmates, but I don’t think I had any special hobbies,” Zhang Xiaoxiao recalled. 0
“Do you want to go back to school?” Zhao Guangcai asked. 0
“No way, school is too tiring,” Zhang Xiaoxiao immediately rejected the idea. 0
“What are you interested in?” Zhao Guangcai asked. 0
“Let me think,” Zhang Xiaoxiao pondered. 0
“Okay.” Zhao Guangcai patiently waited. 0
“Guangcai, I thought of something,” Zhang Xiaoxiao said excitedly. 0
“What did you think of?” Zhao Guangcai asked happily. 0
“I want to draw,” Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed with enthusiasm. 0
“Draw?” Zhao Guangcai said in surprise. 0
“Yes, I love drawing,” Zhang Xiaoxiao affirmed. 0
“Xiaoxiao, why did you suddenly want to draw?” Zhao Guangcai asked, puzzled. 0
“I didn’t suddenly want to; I’ve always liked drawing. It’s just that I didn’t have time before, but now that I have time, I want to pick it up again,” Zhang Xiaoxiao explained. 0
“Xiaoxiao, if you want to draw, then I'll go buy you a sketchbook and some pens tomorrow,” Zhao Guangcai said readily. 0
 
 
"Guangcai, you are really too good!" Zhang Xiaoxiao said happily. 0
"You are my wife, if I don't treat you well, who should I treat well?" Zhao Guangcai said indulgently. 0
"Hehe." Zhang Xiaoxiao replied cheerfully. 0
"By the way, didn't you want to play with Xiao Liang? You can teach him to read." Zhao Guangcai suddenly thought of it. 0
"Oh right, how did I not think of that?" Zhang Xiaoxiao realized. 0
"Because you are a little silly." Zhao Guangcai teased. 0
"Zhao Guangcai, are you getting cheeky again?" Zhang Xiaoxiao threatened. 0
"No, no, I was just joking." Zhao Guangcai immediately backed down. 0
"That's more like it." Zhang Xiaoxiao said with satisfaction. 0
"Xiaoxiao, what do you want to teach Xiao Liang?" Zhao Guangcai asked. 0
"Let me think, maybe language arts." Zhang Xiaoxiao pondered. 0
"What is language arts?" Zhao Guangcai asked in confusion. 0
"It means language and writing." Zhang Xiaoxiao explained simply. 0
"Language and writing?" Zhao Guangcai questioned. 0
"Yes, it's about reading and writing." Zhang Xiaoxiao clarified. 0
"Oh, I understand now." Zhao Guangcai said with realization. 0
"Guangcai, how will we solve the issue of Xiao Liang going to school?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked. 0
"Chen Shuying is his biological mother; she will definitely send him to school." Zhao Guangcai replied. 0
"That's true." Zhang Xiaoxiao agreed. 0
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry about it; Chen Shuying will arrange it herself." Zhao Guangcai comforted her. 0
"I know, I was just asking casually." Zhang Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly. 0
"Alright, you go rest first; I'll wash the dishes and then join you to play." Zhao Guangcai said. 0
"Okay, then I'll go first." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded. 0
Then, Zhao Guangcai went to the kitchen to wash the dishes while Zhang Xiaoxiao sat at the table in a daze. 0
"System, are you there?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked in her mind. 0
[Yes.] The system replied succinctly. 0
"System, is there any special ability in the shop that I can use right now?" Zhang Xiaoxiao inquired. 0
 
 
"The system said, 'There is one called Gossip Sense.' 0
'Gossip Sense? What kind of cheat is that?' Zhang Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled. 0
'It allows you to smell the scent of gossip,' the system replied simply. 0
'What kind of cheat is that?' Zhang Xiaoxiao said, speechless. 0
'It will help you complete tasks,' the system tempted. 0
'Then I'll take it,' Zhang Xiaoxiao said readily. 0
'Ding! Purchase successful, balance is 0,' the system notified. 0
'Why do I feel like I've been scammed again?' Zhang Xiaoxiao frowned. 0
'Host, don't be too greedy; you've already bought two cheats,' the system reminded. 0
'Okay, you have a point,' Zhang Xiaoxiao said helplessly. 0
'Xiaoxiao, I'm here,' Zhao Guangcai said as he walked out. 0
'Great, let's get started,' Zhang Xiaoxiao replied happily. 0
'Okay, you go first,' Zhao Guangcai said. 0
'No problem,' Zhang Xiaoxiao responded confidently. 0
Then, the two began playing hopscotch and had a lot of fun. 0
'Guangcai, do you think what the village chief said in the evening caused trouble for Chen Shuying?' Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly asked. 0
'Probably,' Zhao Guangcai replied uncertainly. 0
'What kind of trouble could it cause her?' Zhang Xiaoxiao asked curiously. 0
'Someone might introduce her to a partner,' Zhao Guangcai speculated. 0
'Introduce her to a partner?' Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise. 0
'Yeah, people in the village are probably trying to arrange a second marriage for her, which could lead to her losing her job at the Textile Factory,' Zhao Guangcai explained. 0
'Then wouldn't that be a big problem for Chen Shuying?' Zhang Xiaoxiao worried. 0
'That's her issue; you don't need to worry about it,' Zhao Guangcai advised. 0
'Yeah, I know,' Zhang Xiaoxiao replied calmly." 0
