Chapter 386: I'm Going to Complain to My Mother

……

After it was over.

Although the man was not yet fully satisfied, Rongrong was now carrying their baby, so he had to exercise restraint.

Once the little one was born, he would...

Si Rong naturally did not know these thoughts; she seemed exceptionally prone to fatigue now, and soon after Jiang Cheng tidied up the bed, she fell asleep.

After becoming pregnant, the dance movements Si Rong practiced were all relatively simple, just a short while every morning.

Since Wu Shen arrived at the house, she had been very diligent; not only were the meals delicious, but even the cleaning was kept in perfect order.

Everyone felt relaxed all of a sudden, except for Nainai, who was still jumping around as usual.

According to Nainai herself, when she was young, she hated the landlords in the village most, as they exploited the whole village; whenever she mentioned them, she would be spitting with rage! Her teeth would be itching with hatred!

Now that Wu Shen had come, she would interrogate her from time to time about how much salary the Jiang Family paid her per month and whether the floors were swept clean.

Whether the food was washed clean.

Even when there was nothing to do, she would sit on the sofa and boss Wu Shen around; of course, this was all done when the Jiang Family members were not around.

But on this day, when she asked Wu Shen to tie her shoelaces, she was caught red-handed by Si Rong, who was coming out of her room.

Just to tie a shoelace, Wu Shen was made to sweat profusely by her harassment.

"Why are you so stupid? It's just that you're lucky to have encountered our family, who are kind and easy to talk to. If you had run into the landlords in our village, they certainly wouldn't let you eat!"

Si Rong:...

"Nainai, what are you doing?"

When Nainai saw her, she rolled her eyes in disapproval and stopped picking on Wu Shen, "Fine, fine, I'll tie them myself in a moment!"

"Can't even do a small thing right! You're far worse than the maidservants of the past!"

Si Rong:...

After Wu Shen entered the kitchen, Nainai patted the spot next to her, "Come! Sit here!"

Si Rong walked over and sat down.

She had thought that after Nainai finished lecturing Wu Shen, it would be her turn to be harassed, but unexpectedly, the old lady tugged at her sleeve, looking somewhat furtive.

"Don't tell your mother-in-law about what you just saw!"

Si Rong raised an eyebrow; she really felt that Jiang Cheng's Nainai was quite interesting.

Day after day, she was truly both a troublemaker and a coward.

"If you keep going like this, my mother will find out sooner or later," Si Rong felt that she was not the type of person who was bad to the core, and attempted to persuade her, "Actually, it's quite pitiful for Wu Shen to come to our house from so far away. If you drive her away, won't my father have to do all that work again?"

"What do you know?" Nainai snorted coldly, "Our family is paying her a salary!"

At the mere thought that it was the Jiang Family's money, her heart ached terribly.

No matter how much Wu Shen worked, she felt it was only her duty.

Si Rong knew that a certain ideology had long been rooted in Nainai's mind and could not be easily changed by a few words from her.

She could only say bluntly, "It's fine if you want me not to tell my mother, but you have to promise me one thing: you are not allowed to harass Wu Shen anymore."

"When did I harass her?" Nainai glared at her.

Si Rong stood up, "Since you didn't, then I'll go tell my mother right now!"

This time she had seen it, and there must be even more in places she could not see.

Nainai:...

After thinking about it, she gave in spinelessly.

A few days later, it was the day for her to return to the eldest son's home.

Early in the morning, Hu Qian had packed her things, but the old lady made an excuse that she had a headache and could not go.

Hu Qian immediately said there was an old lady in the compound who knew acupuncture, and that a headache was a minor ailment that would be cured after a few pricks.

Upon hearing this, Nainai got up immediately, saying that her head did not actually hurt that badly.

It wasn't as painful as the acupuncture from that old hag.

Si Rong watched from the side with great interest, exclaiming that for every foot of virtue, the devil adds ten.

Days passed by in this unconscious manner.

Another day, before it was time for Jiang Cheng to get off work, Fang Ting came running to the house, saying she wanted to take Si Rong to watch the excitement.

"What excitement?"

"A good show."

Watching the excitement was more fun the more people there were, so on the way, Si Rong called for Ming Zi as well.

It was just unexpected that it was such a coincidence; this excitement was exactly about their old acquaintance.

Shen Lan had been reported for stealing steamed buns from the cafeteria to take home.

By the time they arrived, the entrance to the military unit was already surrounded three layers deep.

This spectacle was truly shameful and had significant repercussions.

"Really! Such a shameful thing has actually happened in our Huaiyang Military Region! Stealing steamed buns? It's laughable to tell anyone!"

"To throw away one's future for two steamed buns, I wonder if Shen Lan regrets it!"

"I heard that Shen Lan was brought in by Battalion Commander Tian; everyone says he is Battalion Commander Tian's illegitimate son!"

"It doesn't seem like it now! If he were really Battalion Commander Tian's son, would he go steal these two steamed buns? Surely he wouldn't steal them to take home for Battalion Commander Tian to eat!"

Amidst the discussions of the crowd, Tian Fuguang's expression grew increasingly gloomy and ugly.

"Battalion Commander Tian, what do you think about this?" The two scouts responsible for checking Shen Lan's pockets were also in a difficult position; they had never expected that after the country had trained them for so many years, they would one day have to scout for steamed buns!

Tian Fuguang kicked Shen Lan in the chin, "How useless can you be! Didn't you get enough to eat in the cafeteria?"

Amidst the laughter, Jiang Cheng walked toward his wife, "Why did you run all the way over here?"

"I'm here to watch the excitement," Si Rong whispered.

Jiang Cheng:...

With all eyes on them, it was not appropriate to be too intimate, so he just gave a restrained "Mn" and said, "Work is over, let's go home!"

"Mn, no, I just got here, I'll watch for a while longer before leaving."

Si Rong looked at Shen Lan, who had been kicked to the ground, and thought back to this time in her past life, when Shen Lan, supported by the Si Family, had been so arrogant as he climbed step by step to the top.

Now, having left the Si Family, he had turned into a thief stealing steamed buns.

Without the Si Family to clean up his messes, these sordid affairs were enough to ruin him.

This matter was not hard to guess; based on Si Rong's understanding of those people in the Shen family, stealing steamed buns to take home was likely not Shen Lan's idea.

He had even tried to decline, but Shen Mu, being short-sighted, still thought he was the same Shen Lan who could rely on the Si Family and be given a bit of face by everyone.

She thought it didn't matter to take two steamed buns home.

Shen Lan must have refused a few times, but his character was unstable, and he wanted to show his filial piety within his capabilities; if there was no one by his side to dissuade him, he would soon make a mistake.

When their eyes met, she raised an eyebrow slightly.

In any case, people like Shen Lan and Li Xuan could not be completely shaken off just by staying away from them.

Now that she was pregnant, she didn't know what kind of evil schemes those two were brewing in their hearts.

Si Rong suddenly thought of one person: Zhu Yun.

Looking back at her past life, whatever medicine Shen Lan wanted, he would get it from him, and as for the relationship between these two, all she had found out in her past life was that Zhu Yun probably had a grudge against Shen Lan's father.

But since he was the son of an enemy, why did Zhu Yun help Shen Lan time and time again?

It seemed she would have to go and pay that Zhu Yun a visit.
