Chapter 116: A man cannot be told he is no good, or he will get anxious

~7 min read 1,351 words

Lu Manman suffered from insomnia all night; as soon as she closed her eyes, she inexplicably dreamed of Shen Man in her previous life staring at her with dead eyes.

That look was extremely creepy, and she didn't dare to close her eyes at all.

After finally making it to dawn, her belly made a sound of hunger and cold—

"Gurgle gurgle."

So hungry, her dry rations had long been eaten, she hadn't eaten anything last night, and now her eyes were seeing stars from hunger.

Rubbing her belly, she couldn't continue to be this decadent.

She was now two people, she couldn't shortchange the nutrition of the child in her belly.

After doing some psychological construction for herself, Lu Manman pulled herself together and took out a set of clean clothes from her bag...

After changing clothes and going downstairs, just as she wanted to ask someone where she could buy food, she was avoided by people covering their noses.

That look, as if she were some dirty thing!

Something is wrong, very wrong!

Lu Manman suppressed the doubts in her heart, asked someone where she could buy food, was told there was a canteen in the back, and turned to walk toward the canteen...

Just as she arrived at the canteen window, several women queuing in front pointed at her and whispered, one of them holding a lunch box, asking with disdain:

"Are you the step-sister who snatched Comrade Shen Man's arranged marriage partner? I heard you're pregnant now, you must take care of your health."

"Tsk tsk, sure enough, thick-skinned, otherwise how could you do such a shameless thing?"

"This is my first time seeing the real person, I didn't expect you to not be that pretty either."

"If Comrade Shen Man's arranged marriage partner saw Comrade Shen Man, would he regret it?"

"If it were me, my intestines would be green with regret."

"Shh, keep it down, it's not glorious."

"What are you afraid of, they dared to do it, why wouldn't they dare to listen?"

"That's right, Comrade Shen Man is now married to Regiment Commander Jiang, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven, not better than that arranged marriage partner..."

"Shh, keep it down, what if Regiment Commander Jiang hears it, he'll be jealous."

"Hahaha, that's true."

Although several women were advising the one who spoke to stop, in their words, they were just defending their companion.

Lu Manman's face looked extremely ugly after hearing these taunts.

Damn it, how long has Shen Man been here, how did she get along so well with these women?

One by one, they all spoke for Shen Man, squeezing her out and excluding her for the other party!

When serving breakfast, coincidentally, the person serving breakfast at the window was Wang Mingkui!

"Yo, Comrade Lu, why is your complexion so bad? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Also, you, a delicate girl from the Capital, how could you adapt to our poor living conditions in this godforsaken place?"

Wang Mingkui served the other party a bowl of thin porridge, while sarcastically smiling and sighing:

"Sigh, if you hadn't done such an inglorious thing as snatching someone's marriage, Comrade Shen Man wouldn't have had to come to the Sea Island."

"But you have to thank you, otherwise Regiment Commander Jiang wouldn't have found a wife, here, eat more pickles~"

Lu Manman's hand holding the tray was trembling with rage, her face alternating between green and red, thinking, have these people been brainwashed and bought by Shen Man?

Every word is Shen Man, Shen Man, what is so good about Shen Man?

In her previous life, the other party was just a loser under her hand, easily spoiled to death by her and her mother, a brainless thing!

In this life, how could one person change so much?

Facing many disdainful eyes, Lu Manman carried the tray, walked to the corner, and ate silently...

Endure!

Don't forget, what is her purpose in coming to the Sea Island!

To achieve her goal, she can endure what ordinary people cannot endure, she can...

Wang Mingkui curled her lips in satisfaction; letting many military wives see the true face of this bad woman would make the future reputation and counterattack of little Shen much more logical.

Lu Manman tasted nothing, and after breakfast, followed the small path toward the military region.

Today, she must find a way to get close to Shen Man and test if the other party is also reborn!

At 9:30 in the morning, Jiang Ye was washing bed sheets.

After rinsing the soapy water several times, he wrung the sheets dry and hung them on the newly pulled rope.

On the bamboo pole under the eaves, his and his wife's clothes were hung neatly.

Thinking that he would be leaving for a while tomorrow, he wished he could do all the housework.

But this wasn't realistic; it was a pity his rank wasn't high enough, otherwise he could hire a nanny to do the work...

"Yo, brother-in-law, washing bed sheets so early, I haven't seen you so diligent before?"

After Lu Xiu Bai teased him, suddenly, his nose twitched, and after smelling the fragrance, his eyes brightened, "Eh? Brother-in-law, you made something delicious again."

"Mm, clam meat porridge in the clay pot, you drink it, red date and red bean porridge in the porcelain pot, you take a portion and send it to your sister-in-law."

Jiang Ye nodded, his expression natural, without the slightest displeasure at being sponged off.

"Clam meat porridge? What kind of clam?"

Lu Xiu Bai felt that his brother-in-law now seemed a bit too calm, his suspicious eyes scanning and scanning; this guy, he couldn't be brewing some evil, could he?

"Geoduck, haven't you eaten it before?"

Jiang Ye shrugged, shook the water droplets from his hands, with an expression like, did you forget?

"Uh."

Lu Xiu Bai was speechless; this stuff, he had previously pulled that thing, and specifically bought it from fishermen, grilled it to eat, heard it was "replenishing shape with shape," and ate it for a while.

Dead memories began to attack him, Lu Xiu Bai's smile didn't reach his eyes, and after carefully looking around, he begged for mercy:

"Shh~ keep it down, don't say it, don't say it, I didn't forget, give me some face."

A real man cannot be told he is no good.

He hadn't paid attention when he was flipping over obstacles that time and pulled it; other comrades recommended he eat this stuff, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to eat it.

"Got it, remember to finish it."

Jiang Ye nodded, looking very easy to talk to.

As a roommate, he naturally knew his brother-in-law's past bravado.

Sigh, a man cannot be told he is no good, or he will get anxious.

At this time, a knock sounded outside the door.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Is Manman sister home?"

An annoying voice sounded, and the two men in the courtyard frowned in unison.

Lu Manman, why did this person come?

Lu Xiu Bai hated the other party very much; hearing her voice made him uncomfortable, his whole body itching, and without a word, he ran to the kitchen to serve porridge to his wife.

As for his own portion of clam meat porridge, he took the whole pot.

Not eating is a waste, not eating is an idiot!

Anyway, eating it had no downsides; he could finish a whole pot!

Jiang Ye calmly wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, and after his brother-in-law retreated to his own house, he walked over calmly to open the door—

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't make noise, my wife is sleeping."

"..."

Lu Manman choked on her words, is this right?

A guest is a guest, this brother-in-law didn't treat her as a guest at all.

The sharp and cold eyes were like looking at a corpse.

Inexplicably, the soles of her feet began to feel cold...

The other party, he wouldn't want to kill her to silence her, would he? ===== CHAPTER 117 =====
