"Open the door" said a cold voice.
Rizqi's?
Why did he come so late at night?
Is it possible that he was captivated by her charm today, so he decided to come and warm up his bed as well?
The thought made Pepi tremble, very frightening.
Pepi gulped his saliva. "I'm going to sleep."
"Open the door."
Although it was only two simple words, this time his tone of speech not only implied cold hubris, but also a hint of command.
"Hey, this lower-class brat dares to give him orders? Pepi has been trained since childhood! He was the type to 'tame the soft and the hard opponents'. How dare you command me, I will open the door and show you who it is!" Pepi monologue.
"I won't open it!" beat Pepi coldly.
"Wouldn't you like rice?" ask Rizqi.
Pepi jumped out of bed quickly, without even folding his shoes. He ran to the door and opened it. "What do you want from me?"
Feeling a little embarrassed by his own excitement, Pepi cleared his throat heavily and tried to calm himself down, trying to imitate Rizqi's calm and dismissive expression.
However, he did not know that Rizqi had noticed any change in emotions on her face.
This woman is really hard to guess.
Rizqi threw a bag into her hand and said coldly. "This is what you want."
Pepi fell silent and opened the bag, only to find that it contained rice!
Pepi raised his head with joy. "It's rice! Where'd you get it?"
Rizqi looked at him coldly. "I stole it."
Pepi is very happy and can face Rizqi's cynical comments easily. He happily held onto the bag and exclaimed, "This is for me? Really for me? When did you buy it? I don't know!"
"Remember to double back in the future."
This guy was always nothing good to say, always ruining the atmosphere.
Pepi was used to it and decided not to fight with it. With a smile, he said, "Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back! Why are you suddenly so good to me? Yesterday, you said you wouldn't lend me money."
Rizqi averted her gaze and remained as cool as ever, saying, "With an incident like this today, we have clearly really hurt the Sigalung Family. Surely the people from the Sigalung Family would come and cause trouble repeatedly. We both can't go to work; someone has to stay at home, what if Yurdha is bullied?"
In other words, he wants him to stop working at the port from tomorrow?
Pepi was silent for a moment, but soon understood. He replied, "Well, I'll work in the harbor, and you can stay at home."
As an adult woman, she could not let her husband go looking for money. The previous owner of the body might be able to accept humiliation, but he could not.
If he wasn't there today, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to take a step.
Pepi's face flushed with embarrassment, feeling embarrassed for the first time. He stared with his eyes wide open and said, "Why can't it? I have not shown my true strength today! Don't think I really can't move anything!"
Rizqi glanced coldly at him, giving a meaningful gaze that Pepi could interpret on her own, then turned around and left.
For some reason, Pepi felt a small sentiment overflowing from his heart. Regardless of how loudly this annoying man spoke, it seemed like everything he did in the end was for himself or for Yurdha, but in the end, he still helped her.
Almost without thinking, Pepi exclaimed, "From now on, I will no longer let you do the hard work."
Rizqi paused for a moment and turned around. "not working? Wanna starve?"
"I'll take care of you!" exciting Pepi.
Rizqi looked at it, and in those usually indifferent eyes, there was a hint of surprise. The moonlight seemed as if it made his rough facial features look softer, creating a fine line. For that moment, Pepi almost believed that he had never seen such a clear and bright young man before.
However, he quickly sighed lightly, as if not believing it at all, and turned away.
But in an instant as he turned away, there was a small, almost invisible smile engraved on the corner of his lips. For some reason, his heart seemed to be pounding, maybe because of the beautiful moonlight tonight or maybe because of a sudden promise made by the woman he always hated.
Pepi could not sleep, filled with happiness while hugging the rice bag!
He felt its weight in hand, and this bag of rice was almost five kilograms full!
Previously, he had also wondered about the price of rice, and it was rather expensive, 20 thousand rupiah for one kilogram, almost the same price as meat.
By the way, rice is not an important food for poor families. People like them could only buy and eat sweet potatoes and bread. Even a little white rice is considered a luxury. Moreover, talking about white rice alone is grateful if you can eat porridge.
The next morning, Pepi got up and left first.
Rizqi glanced at him suspiciously, wondering what back she had planned this time around.
When they got to the gathering point for work, many people were already there, sitting in groups near the Siraga Family wagon, chatting quietly.
Looking at Pepi, they looked at each other and became mute.
Pepi didn't have to think twice to know who the girls were talking about.
Yesterday, he became famous for Orden. Some criticized her for being unfilial and against her parents, claiming that she had been seduced by a prostitute. Of course, most of the criticism came from women, while some praised her gait and assertiveness, much more coming from men.
While walking today, Pepi was not even aware that some of the men in the village were secretly watching him. The way they saw it as if it was written on their faces, regretting he got married too soon.
Pepi doesn't care how others look at him. He simply approached Rizqi and casually arranged his collar, saying, "Rizqi, you know..."
This remark almost made Rizqi choke her saliva.
Pepi continued in a serious voice, "With so much business at home right now, I can't go and accompany you to work on the dock. I know you are strong and these tasks are not a problem for you. My only concern is that Rizqi's beauty might attract unwanted attention, and that worries me a lot."
Rizqi's lips twitched sharply, she whispered in a low voice, "Enough, go."
What is the point of pretending to be a godly wife and mother? He knows exactly what he is, right?
