Chapter 117: Disliking you for being poor and fearing you for being rich; fearing that sisters don't live bitterly enough, yet fearin

Jiang Ye let her in, not driving her away.

He knew his wife had her own plans, and he wouldn't disrupt his wife's rhythm.

Furthermore, this person had invisibly done a good deed, and he should be grateful to the other party.

"Thank you."

Jiang Ye was a decent person, and in the other party's bewildered eyes, he solemnly thanked her.

Then he signaled for the other party to sit at the stone table in the courtyard and wait for his wife to wake up naturally.

He had only one requirement: don't make a sound.

Lu Manman was full of question marks at this time; a guest is a guest, why didn't this man follow the script?

At the very least, pour her a glass of water?

Just like this, ignoring her, and not allowing her to make a sound, what kind of logic is that?

But, one has to bow one's head under the eaves.

She wanted to have a friendly negotiation with Shen Man to test if the other party was a reborn person; now she couldn't tear her face off, she had to follow the couple's requirements!

Really, frustrated!

"Shoo."

Just as she sat down, a lump of bird poop hit her forehead squarely...

"Woo."

She wanted to scream, but suddenly thought of something and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Ah ah ah!

So smelly!

What did that damn bird eat!

Ugh!

Lu Manman dry-heaved softly while taking a red handkerchief from her pocket to wipe off the bird poop on her forehead...

Jiang Ye looked up at the birds circling above the courtyard, expressionless, but in his heart, he praised, what a good bird.

Little did she know, Lu Xiu Bai in the next courtyard was muttering while drinking porridge, cursing Lu Manman to be plagued by bad luck!

Pei Yan Ting held a spoon in her right hand, stirring the porridge, her thoughts flying.

It seems this Lu Manman is not coming with good intentions!

Kneeling at the door yesterday, facing everyone's ridicule, she could still keep a straight face and stick her hot face to a cold butt!

This kind of person, not reaching her goal, will not give up; she has deep city-dwelling (schemes)!

"This step-sister of yours is a ruthless character; stop eating, keep an eye on the other party's movements, don't let the other party bully Manman."

"No rush, brother-in-law is there, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp either."

Lu Xiu Bai shook his head; compared to the brain of his brother-in-law Jiang Ye, Lu Manman's brain was completely incomparable.

Knowing him for six years, he had never seen Jiang Ye suffer a loss.

Jiang Ye is truly a person who repays every grievance!

He still wouldn't go and add to the chaos, just let Jiang Ye, this brother-in-law, stabilize his performance...

"That's also true."

Speaking of which, what her husband said made so much sense, Pei Yan Ting couldn't refute it at all.

It just sounded strange.

"Shh, don't tear down the stage in front of brother-in-law in the future; we are eating his porridge, we can't burn the bridge after crossing the river."

"Mm mm, know, know, can't offend the cook."

Lu Xiu Bai had an expression of "I understand everything," begging his wife for praise.

"..."

Pei Yan Ting couldn't praise him; forget it, she couldn't explain it to him, better to drink the porridge quickly.

"I'm on duty today, I won't be home for lunch, and the same for dinner."

The implication was, do as you please, whether you go to brother-in-law's house to sponge off food and drink, or go to the canteen, whatever.

"I know."

Lu Xiu Bai nodded; his wife is a military doctor, she has work to be busy with, he understands.

"When are you coming home? I'll go pick you up."

"No need to pick up."

"I want to."

"Fine."

Pei Yan Ting didn't know what medicine was in the other party's gourd, thought about it and it was nothing, so she agreed.

In the master bedroom next door, Shen Man had already woken up when her brother and her man were talking.

It was just that her whole body was sore and weak, so she simply pretended to be asleep and didn't make a sound.

It wasn't until Lu Manman came that she took the jade bottle from the space and dripped two drops of spiritual liquid into her water cup to relieve her body's discomfort.

"Meow."

Master, I feel the black qi full of malice, please pay attention to protecting your own safety!

Tangyuan was howling in the space, anxious and spinning in circles.

"Got it, don't come out, stay calm and don't be impatient, brother Jiang Ye is here, the other party won't dare to do anything dangerous to me, otherwise she would be kicked away by brother Jiang Ye before she even got close."

Shen Man put away the jade bottle, raised the cup to her lips, and drank it in one gulp.

Brother Jiang Ye's skills were beyond doubt; he could probably kick a hundred of Lu Manman's kind with his bare feet.

"You first condense the jade pendant, cut a part of the space into it, remember, don't cut it too big, five square meters is enough."

"Received, I'll do it right away!"

Tangyuan heard the serious business ordered by the master, so it collected its mind and got busy.

The artifact spirit itself could control everything in the space, provided it got the master's consent.

Then operating it would consume some spiritual power.

These past few days it had been sticking to the big boss, absorbing a lot of purple qi, so consuming some spiritual power had no effect on it.

As long as it could help the master do serious business, it would vote in favor with all four paws!

"Good."

Shen Man took a deep breath, exhaled the turbid air, okay okay, the discomfort in her body had all disappeared; this spiritual liquid is truly a must-have medicine for book-transmigrators at home and on the road!

It was time to meet the one outside.

Shen Man changed into a scarlet long-sleeved dress, simply fixed her long hair with a chopstick, and pushed open the bedroom window just like that—

"Creak."

"Brother Jiang Ye, there's a guest at home, why didn't you call me to get up?"

The man was watering the small green vegetables sprouting in the courtyard; hearing the movement, his tall and straight figure turned, and the cold and stern face burst with warmth after seeing the person behind the window.

"Are you full from sleeping?"

Jiang Ye automatically ignored the guest mentioned by his wife, his tone only containing concern for his own wife.

Last night, he was a bit excessive, lost control.

"Mm, I'm hungry."

Shen Man caught a glimpse of Lu Manman's disheveled, jealous eyes from the corner of her eye, and didn't mind showing off their affection.

"I'll fetch water for you to wash up, the red date and red bean porridge is simmering in the kitchen, I'll go serve it for you right now."

The two people's eyes met, sticky and drawing silk.

Jiang Ye only needed to look at his wife's eyes to know what his wife wanted to do, and naturally was happy to cooperate.

Anyone who saw it could tell the couple had a good relationship and a harmonious married life.

Lu Manman, who was already frustrated because of the bird poop, felt even more frustrated.

Thinking that Shen Man had found such an excellent and young military officer, the feeling in her heart was even worse!

What does this explain?

It explains that Shen Man's living conditions and status level in this life are not bad at all!

There is a saying, disliking you for being poor and fearing you for being rich; fearing that sisters don't live bitterly enough, yet fearing that sisters will drive a Land Rover!

If she had been reborn three years ago, she would have had a way to get rid of Shen Man; how could she have let Shen Man be so carefree and marry such a well-conditioned military officer husband!

Lu Manman adjusted her mood, revealed a smile she thought was appropriate, approached Shen Man who was gargling, and opened her mouth:

"Manman, I—"

"So smelly!"

Shen Man seemed to have just discovered the existence of this person, covered her delicate and small nose, frowned, and asked in confusion:

"Manman sister, did you fall into a septic tank? Why are you so smelly."

"..."

Lu Manman's heart was broken, like being shot; her complexion, which had become haggard due to the boat and car fatigue, was already bad, and now she was making a fool of herself in front of the glamorous Shen Man.

Embarrassing, so embarrassing, is there a crack in the ground for her to crawl into? ===== CHAPTER 118 =====
