Chapter 119: Good hunters are often very patient, aren't they?

~8 min read 1,404 words

Shen Man played along, as if she had let down her guard, chatting and laughing with Lu Manman, the atmosphere looking very harmonious.

Jiang Ye saw this, said nothing, and silently went to the corner to chop wood.

He was going to leave for a while, so he prepared a pile of firewood for his wife for more than a month, ready to be used whenever needed.

They had also discussed the grandfather's side; grandfather would often come over to stay for a few days, and the two would look after each other, making him feel more at ease.

As for this Lu Manman, it seemed her IQ wasn't very high.

Looking at the jealousy hidden in the bottom of his wife's eyes, the tone mixed with not-so-clever testing and superiority.

The psychology of snatching someone else's things and impatiently showing off in front of the owner, like a villain who has succeeded.

Forget it, as long as his wife is having fun, he will reluctantly not take a broom to drive people away!

"Hmph."

Just when Shen Man and Lu Manman were chatting very "congenially," Lu Xiu Bai walked over, holding a bowl and chopsticks, looking very unhappy, as if someone owed him money.

Lu Manman hurriedly stood up and called out politely, "Big brother."

"Who is your big brother? My mother only gave birth to one sister for me, don't you go around claiming relatives."

Lu Xiu Bai looked disgusted, his hateful eyes not hidden in the slightest.

His attitude was very clear: he only had one sister, who do you think you are?

Lu Manman's expression stiffened, she smiled reluctantly, and tried to please:

"Big brother, I don't expect you to recognize me as a sister, it's just that harmony in the family brings prosperity, I came to apologize to Manman sister, I will compensate her..."

"A weasel paying respects to a chicken."

Lu Xiu Bai commented with a poisonous tongue; he wouldn't believe a single word of what Lu Manman said.

Just as he wanted to continue retorting to the other party, his arm was pulled by his sister, "Brother~"

Shen Man showed an apologetic look, then pulled her brother to the side to persuade:

"Brother, don't think of Manman sister so badly, I see her apologizing to me with a very good attitude, and tomorrow she is even taking me outside the Sea Island to withdraw money."

Saying this, she pinched the soft flesh on the inside of her brother's arm, back to Lu Manman, and gave her brother a look.

Make up?

No, I'm faking it, don't make trouble.

Lu Xiu Bai's eyes watered from the pain; the strength of his sister's pinch was truly sour and refreshing!

"Then be careful, don't get sold and still help count the money!"

After saying this, Lu Xiu Bai angrily threw the bowl and chopsticks into the pool by the well and left without looking back.

"Brother."

Shen Man called out pretendingly, stamping her feet in annoyance:

"My brother's stinking temper, always like a gunpowder barrel, ignites at a touch..."

Lu Manman's eyes flashed; a stinking temper is good, just like in her previous life, easy to fool.

Speaking of which, it was strange; in her previous life, although Lu Xiu Bai couldn't stand their mother and daughter when he was young, he stayed in the Capital to take care of Lu Lao Zu.

In the end, he fulfilled the arranged marriage and tied the knot with that successor of the Pei family.

The two had a harmonious married life after marriage and gave birth to a clever boy...

Thinking of her previous life, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.

How come she was reborn, and everything had changed?

Lu Xiu Bai actually left the Capital early and came to the Sea Island to join the army.

Shen Man came to the Capital three years late, and didn't get spoiled to death by her and her mother like in her previous life, raising a crooked temperament.

Even, she married such a well-conditioned military officer husband!

From the moment she entered the courtyard, that military officer man didn't look at her straight, didn't take her seriously at all.

Instead, he treated Shen Man like a pearl or treasure, afraid that the other party would do a bit of rough work, completely treating Shen Man like a treasure!

If one said the Shen Man of the previous life was beautiful, but beautiful as she was, she was like a vase, brain empty, without connotation.

The current Shen Man, in every gesture, had a kind of transcendent beauty, like a rose in full bloom, let alone men who liked it when they saw it, even she was confused when she saw it!

Ah!

After Lu Manman realized what she was thinking, she directly pinched her thigh hard.

Pain!

Pain is right!

She really wanted to slap her own mouth; what was she thinking just now?

Please, Shen Man is on the opposite side of her, how could she develop a good impression!

Damn it!

It must be that the other party gave her a love potion, she must stay awake!

Shen Man "scared away" her brother, didn't care, and turned around, originally wanting to pretend to leave the plastic sister for a meal, but didn't expect to see the other party's complexion changing back and forth, as wonderful as a palette.

"Manman sister, what's wrong with you? Don't hold a grudge against my brother, he just has this temperament, his nature isn't bad."

"No, nothing, I just feel a bit uncomfortable in my stomach, I want to go back to the guesthouse to rest first, tomorrow morning around nine, you come to the guesthouse to find me, I'll take you around Haibin City, and withdraw money for you."

If you don't risk the child, you won't catch the wolf!

Lu Manman was determined to get along well with the two, paying her own savings didn't matter; after she got the jade pendant space, she could take everything back!

"Fine, then I won't keep you for a meal, you go back to the guesthouse first, I will be on time to find you tomorrow."

Shen Man nodded understandingly, just what she wanted!

"Then Manman sister goodbye, brother-in-law goodbye."

Lu Manman's smile didn't reach her eyes, her palm was pinched and broken by her, and her thigh probably didn't have many pieces of good meat left.

"Walk slowly, I won't see you off."

Jiang Ye didn't talk nonsense, threw the wood-chopping knife onto the wooden stump, with a posture of seeing off a guest.

Lu Manman was scared by the other party's momentum, hurriedly nodded, and left here in a hurry.

Speaking of which, from the time she entered the door to the time she left, was it an hour?

From beginning to end, no one poured her water, and except for Shen Man, no one gave her a good face...

Looking at it this way, Shen Man is still easier to fool, easier to trick.

After closing the big door, Jiang Ye's dark eyes were put away, and after bolting the latch, he clapped his hands, "Clap clap clap~"

"Finally fooled her away, how was my acting just now?"

Shen Man's eyes were shrewd at this time, revealing a cunning light.

Where was the clear-to-stupid woodenness and greed for money when facing Lu Manman just now?

Jiang Ye calmly rolled up his sleeves, walked steadily to his wife, rubbed his wife's cheek with one hand, with a smile in his eyes, giving enough emotional value:

"Good, very great."

Then the conversation turned, and he exhorted:

"Whatever you want to do, do it boldly, I only have one requirement, protect yourself well."

"For the next period of time, if you encounter trouble you can't solve yourself, find Section Commander Duan, find sister-in-law, grandfather, Wangjie..."

Shen Man tilted her head, pressed her cheek against the man's palm, rubbed it, and nodded obediently:

"Mm mm, I will protect myself well, and wait for you to come back obediently at home."

"As for Lu Manman, I have other plans, I won't tear my face off with her for the time being."

Wait until the other party is fooled, squeeze out the remaining value, and then it won't be too late to tear her face off.
