Chapter 107: Would You Rather Be Jade Shattered Than Tile Whole?

On the fourth day of her period, Shen Man felt that her bleeding had decreased a lot, and her stomach didn't have that heavy ache anymore; consequently, her mood was very pleasant.

She felt for her wristwatch under the pillow and saw it was only eight o'clock.

She cherished her current carefree life, because when she took the military medical exam later in the year, it wouldn't be so comfortable.

Besides, after her period ends, physical training will also have to be put on the schedule.

Her sister-in-law said that military medics must not only pass professional nursing and medical theory exams, but also a physical fitness test.

Her sister-in-law's cousin failed because her physical performance was too poor, and she could only get a job at the Capital's First People's Hospital.

In her previous life, Shen Man had worked in the hospital system, where advancement was limited; later on, she could only get promoted and raise her salary by seniority.

The military medical system is different: it involves participating in dangerous emergency rescue, going to the front lines, and truly fighting the god of death.

She thought, I want to become a great military medic like my sister-in-law!

"Meow."

"Master, you're awake—the boss is cooking porridge in the kitchen; hurry and call you to get up and eat."

A small melon seed slipped through the window crack and landed on the long table placed by the window.

They say cats are liquid animals, and right now it's been made concrete.

"Hmm, do you want to enter the space?"

Shen Man asked softly, catching the Tangyuan that lunged at her.

"Yes."

Tangyuan had just been close to the boss, absorbing a lot of purple aura.

As the spirit of the space, when it enters the space to absorb, it gets twice the result with half the effort.

Besides, it's been outside all day and hasn't tended the fruits, vegetables, or fish fry in the space, so its conscience feels a bit guilty.

"Okay."

Shen Man nodded and put Tangyuan into the space.

She lifted the blanket, picked up the teapot, and dropped a drop of Spiritual Liquid into her water cup.

Although Spiritual Liquid can't make her period disappear, it can at least regulate her body, giving her abundant energy and making her unafraid of the ultraviolet radiation on Sea Island.

"Wife, are you awake? Come eat breakfast."

Outside the window, a man's gentle call sounded; he was tactful, didn't shove the window open, but respected her by asking first.

"Mm, I'm awake; I'll wash up right away."

Shen Man knew he had to leave home for work.

She gulped down the water in the cup, hastily grabbed a handful of her long hair, and went to wash up......

Considering that his wife was still on her period and couldn't touch cold water, Jiang Ye filled all the water bottles at home with boiled water.

In one of the red bottles he put several spoonfuls of brown sugar, shook it evenly, and told his wife to drink the brown sugar water when thirsty, to eat something to fill her stomach when hungry, and kept reminding her over and over, step by step.

By contrast, the newlywed couple next door, after being open with each other last night, have warmed up considerably, but they're not as clingy as the brother-in-law is to his sister......

Pei Yan Ting nodded at her sister's brother-in-law and left first.

Her workplace is three to four kilometers from the residential compound, and it takes no less than twenty minutes to walk there.

Another day she'll have to go outside Sea Island to buy a bicycle for transportation.

Lu Xiu Bai would have liked to give his wife a ride, but she glared at him, so he just pursed his lips and didn't.

Lu Xiu Bai hooked his arm around the brother-in-law's shoulder, walked a distance away, and then said:

"Hey, brother-in-law, I saw it— a female comrade threw herself at you."

Jiang Ye, unhurried, pushed away the arm that his elder brother-in-law had hooked onto his shoulder, and said coldly:

"Your eyes need fixing."

"Don't go, wait for me—I haven't finished yet."

Lu Xiu Bai's arm was slapped, and it really hurt.

Seeing the brother-in-law walk ahead ignoring him, he became even more worked up.

"Shut up."

Jiang Ye's eyes were sharp, giving off the vibe that if you dared to talk back again, he'd destroy you.

This was the angriest Lu Xiu Bai had ever seen him.

Ah, it's not just the angriest—he's truly angry.

"I know you haven't done anything wrong; I'm just reminding you to keep your distance from other female comrades."

"Don't look at my sister's soft exterior—actually, she'd rather be jade shattered than tile whole; she cares that a man be pure in body and mind."

"Do I need you to say that?"

Jiang Ye's steps paused; ultimately, out of respect for his wife's face, he suppressed the urge to punch his elder brother-in-law.

His wife—how could he not know her temperament?

Gentle yet willful, a bit scheming?

No matter, he indulges her.

"Would you rather be jade shattered than tile whole?"

Good, that way you won't be at a loss.

Lu Xiu Bai pursed his lips; the brother-in-law is fine in every way, just too confident, huh?

But that's also good—he has propriety, knows what he should and shouldn't do.

He's a hundred times stronger than his brainless father!

"Wait for me, brother-in-law—I just misspoke; I'll apologize."

"Sorry."

"By the way, I told my wife I want to sign up. How about you, shall we go together?"

"Noisy."

Jiang Ye quickened his steps, not wanting to waste words with the boisterous big brother‑in‑law.

"Hey, wait for me."

Lu Xiu Bai chased after him, thinking fortunately his legs aren't short!

The two already had a rapport, though they were rivals chasing each other—no, brotherly affection.

Now, because of their in‑law ties, outsiders see their relationship as even more "intimate".

However, for the newly appointed Deputy Regiment Commander position, Jiang Tuan surprisingly announced an open competition, excluding Lu Xiu Bai, the big brother‑in‑law, and the impartial approach won the officers' full respect.

Naturally, upon seeing someone, they greet them warmly—

"Good morning, Jiang Tuan."

"Regiment Commander Lu, health robust, congratulations, congratulations."

"Hmm."

"How about we go do a training pull later?"

"No, no, I have something else, I'll leave first."

A man's standing among men determines a woman's standing among women.

Likewise, a woman's popularity among women determines a man's popularity among men.

A married couple should be like this, complementing each other.

Rather than constantly belittling the other, willingly draining the other's utility value.

Mutual achievement, harmonious family, children growing up in a loving environment—aren't they happier than growing up in a scheming, contentious one?

Unfortunately, many people don't understand this principle.

"Moreover— moreover— moreover—"

In the afternoon, Lu Manman, lugging big and small bags of luggage, set out on the journey to Sea Island.

Although her husband is Deputy Director of the Railway Bureau, when booking her ticket he didn't use any privilege, giving her only an ordinary hard seat!

She harbored a grievance in her heart, but dared not speak it, silently enduring the foul, smoky, stench‑filled, noisy carriage of the hard seat…

Damn it, all this is because Shen Man jumped ahead to take the Spatial Jade Tablet!

This time going to Sea Island, she must snatch back the jade tablet!

No matter the cost, she will obtain the jade tablet!
