Chapter 120 - 117 Worry_2
Sister Tao’s face was black with anger, and she didn’t pay any attention to the smiles plastered across their faces. Instead, she let loose a barrage of words like a machine-gun fire, and after that, she glared at them fiercely and left them with a command, "Hurry up and turn off the lights." Then she walked away with an air of self-possession.
Lu Aiguo and Shitou gaped, their faces cycling through a range of expressions as they looked at each other for a long while, speechless.
Xia Yuan and Lu Yun crept up behind them, trying to hold back their laughter. Xia Yuan nudged Lu Aiguo, "Aren’t you going to shut the door quick? We still need to go back to our room to turn off the lights, or who knows, the landlord might come back to scold you guys again."
"Do you have any idea how expensive electricity is? Keep this up and we’re going to raise the rent."
Imitating the landlord, Sister Tao’s gruff voice, Lu Yun mocked with a fierce whisper, then burst into a fit of giggles.
"You two are just happy to see us in trouble, aren’t you? It’s not you getting scolded after all," Lu Aiguo quipped, not without irritation, as he and Shitou closed the door and propped it with a stick, eventually joining in the laughter. The annoyance that had been welling up in them vanished without a trace, thanks to their antics.
Alright, it’s really time to hurry up and find a new place to move to.
In the city, there was no need to farm or go to the mountains, so the next day everybody woke up a bit later than they would have in Yushu Village. By the time Lu Aiguo and Shitou had returned with a cartload of water, Xia Yuan had breakfast ready.
