Chapter 1989: Chapter 1991: Young Master Liu Agitated
Yang Ming didn’t care at all about everyone’s reaction. It’s not that he’s being arrogant now, but at this moment, even if you treat everyone to a meal, it wouldn’t make a difference, better to just focus on themselves.
He couldn’t let his wife eat boiled cabbage just to get along well with everyone.
He didn’t want to wrong his wife, and in fact, the four of them eating didn’t order too much, only four dishes, and none were particularly expensive; only the steamed fish counted as costly, the egg custard was alright, and the scallion tofu and pork stewed with cabbage were genuinely cheap.
But even so, it was still a stark contrast to others’ meals.
He picked up a piece of fish and put it in his wife’s bowl, saying, "It’s alright, go ahead and eat."
Then he said to Yang Qiu and Wang Kui, "Let’s eat."
Xiaoxiao smiled and started eating, but was thinking inside, is their wealth standing out too much?
Is the disparity too large to get along?
Should they ask Wang Kui to check out other inns tomorrow and move away from here?
"I’m fine, as long as it doesn’t affect your mood for the exam," Xiaoxiao replied and began to eat.
"It won’t affect me." Yang Ming smiled, this little thing really wouldn’t affect his mood.
They ate just like that, and during their meal, other people came downstairs to eat, which was actually fine. Without Master Liu’s reminder, others coming down to eat didn’t seem to notice anything wrong.
After eating, Xiaoxiao specifically asked Xiao’er to prepare bath water.
Once back in the room, soon enough, Xiao’er had boiled the bath water.
He brought it back and forth several times before finishing the bath water.
As he was leaving, he said, "Sir, the bath water is ready. If you need anything else, just let me know."
"Alright, thanks." Xiaoxiao thanked him.
"No trouble at all, no trouble, I’ll be going downstairs then." Xiao’er replied loudly and went downstairs.
Xiaoxiao closed the door and said to Yang Ming, "Honey, go take a bath and relax, it’s surely been a tiring day."
As luck would have it, Master Liu’s room was right opposite Yang Ming’s room.
He heard the noise of Xiao’er carrying water up and down, and he was already annoyed from dinner. Now hearing this noise and Xiao’er loudly talking, he couldn’t concentrate on his reading.
Once Xiao’er left, he heard Yang Ming’s wife shamelessly talking about relaxing in the bath.
With a thud, he threw the book onto the table.
The anger in his eyes was clear, his teeth were grinding.
They’re here for exams, but look at them living the life, eating fine fish and meat, with the wife waiting on them. But him, just gnawing on steamed buns and boiled cabbage, a bath is a luxury because it requires hot water, which costs Silver.
During the day, this couple embarrassed him in front of so many people.
This anger, he definitely couldn’t swallow.
Thinking over and over, he decided to show Yang Ming a thing or two and take revenge.
At this moment, Yang Ming was sitting in a bath barrel enjoying a hot bath, unaware that he had unwittingly provoked Master Liu into wanting revenge.
During the bath, Xiaoxiao occasionally asked from the side.
"Honey, is the water hot?"
"Honey, has the water cooled? Do you need Xiao’er to add more hot water?"
"Honey, do you want your back scrubbed?"
