Chapter 164: After finishing the master bedroom, she went to collect the secondary bedroom

When Xiao Li's telegram arrived, Old Man Lu was worried.

It wasn't worry about his unfilial son, but worry about his wine.

That was a whole jar of it!

As for his luggage and belongings, there was nothing to cling to; he had Xiao Li donate them to the elderly in the lonely alley—those who wanted them could keep them, and Xiao Li disposed of the rest.

It was his grape wine, brewed by his granddaughter, and he couldn't bear to part with it!

Sending it to Sea Island would waste manpower, material resources, and finances, which wouldn't be good.

After pacing for a long time, he made a decision—

"Xiao Li, I'm giving you that jar of grape wine—don't forget to scoop out the dregs and stir it up..."

"Yes, I'm giving it to you—after all these years together, I haven't given you anything good."

"This is good wine; when the time comes, give some to your father and your father-in-law to drink, and then you'll know how great it is."

"Don't worry about me; I'm fine now."

After making the decision, Old Man Lu hung up the phone with a pained expression.

At least it was left to Xiao Li; if it had fallen into the unfilial son's hands and been squandered, he would have truly been heartbroken!

As for the Capital, he didn't want to go back anymore.

The unfilial son couldn't control his spouse's infidelity, wearing a green hat, causing a scandal that ruined the Old Lu family's reputation.

He couldn't face going back, being pointed at and gossiped about by a group of sympathetic old neighbors.

Sea Island is great—spring-like weather year-round, not cold, with a group of old comrades around, plus his grandsons and granddaughters nearby; from now on he'll spend his retirement there.

Capital—

Railway Bureau Family Compound.

Lu Manman, who had a miscarriage, survived thanks to promptly drinking the "Spirit Spring Water."

After she woke up, she was still lying on the blanket; the dried bloodstain and the stabbing pain in her lower abdomen reminded her that she had entrusted herself to a non-human.

Once her fingers had strength, she took a cup of Spirit Spring Water from her space and drank it all in one gulp.

Although it had a strange smell, at that moment she didn't care at all.

She wanted revenge!

She would not let off Gu Yinyin, who killed her child, nor Gu Tingchen, who failed in his husbandly duties toward her.

After regaining some strength, she struggled to sit up, took a medicine box from the wardrobe, ate two painkillers, then pulled out clean clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up.

It was now ten thirty in the morning, and nobody was home.

They had all gone to work at their units, which was perfect—it made it easy for her to store everything in the house into her Jade Plaque Space!

After dressing, she first put the bathroom's shampoo, soap, towels, toothbrush, and so on into the Jade Plaque Space.

Afterward, she went straight to the master bedroom, storing all items from her and Gu Tingchen's bedroom into the space—even unscrewing the lightbulbs.

Too bad she didn't have the strength to pry up the floorboards, otherwise...

After finishing the master bedroom, she went to collect the secondary bedroom.

Gu Tingchen truly doted on this adopted sister; besides preparing two thousand yuan for her dowry, he also had her gather matching sets of bedding, sheets, duvet covers, pillows, teapot, water cups and kettles—even the slippers came in pairs!

After storing those dowry items, she discovered that Gu Yinyin's wardrobe closet hid many snacks.

There was a box of yellow peach canned fruit, two bottles of fruit canned goods that Gu Tingchen had brought home the day before, and six cans of meat!

Not to mention oranges, apples, and bananas—the Liu Family would never shortchange her, their future daughter-in-law.

In the wardrobe were brand-new, wrinkle-free Burberry dresses, leather shoes made of calfskin, and other clothing accessories she'd never seen—about ten or so full sets!

In the drawer, besides the two thousand yuan dowry, there were nearly nine hundred in cash tickets and various other loose documents!

This Gu Yinyin, low-key and unassuming, had hidden so much money!

Great, so among the whole family, she's the poorest?

Collect, collect, collect!

All of this will henceforth be hers!

After finishing the secondary bedroom, she rushed to pack the living room's sofa, coffee table, TV, and radio into the space!

Even the mop and broom were to be completely cleared out, and the lightbulbs—same treatment!

Unscrew them!

Strangely, a strange pleasure welled up in her heart.

It felt as if she were twisting off Gu Yinyin's and Gu Tingchen's heads.

Really, it was exhilarating!

After emptying the entire house, she applied white foundation to her face and lips, making her complexion look extremely poor.

Then, very discreetly, she weakly pushed her dowry bicycle away from home.

Along the way, when she met neighbors, she gave a weak smile; passersby thought her odd demeanor strange, and concernedly asked what was wrong, whether she felt unwell and needed to be sent to the hospital.

"No, no need—I'm fine."

Lu Manman wanted exactly that effect—encountering several witnesses to prove she felt unwell, merely pushing her bicycle, stubbornly heading to the hospital on her own.

When Gu Tingchen and his siblings returned home that evening and discovered the house had been robbed, no one would suspect her.

She had just suffered a miscarriage after being bullied by that brother‑sister pair—where would she find the time or energy to move out the whole house?

Meanwhile, on Sea Island, Tangyuan was happily rolling around on the roof.

It sensed that the Auxiliary Space was about to be filled to the brim!

It eagerly awaited the unboxing—what surprise would that wicked woman Lu Manman bring for it and its master!

The countdown is three days—getting closer and closer!

In the afternoon, Shen Man returned home, heard the good news, and wore the same mischievous grin as Tangyuan.

Hehe, someone's bringing vegetables.

Jiang Ye set down what he was holding, turned his head, and saw his wife holding Tangyuan, laughing until her eyes turned into crescent moons—utterly adorable; he restrained his restless hands and teased:

What are you laughing at? Look at you and Tangyuan—you really are......

Nothing, just thought of something funny.

Shen Man certainly couldn't say it was a joke that Lu Manman is currently making her wedding dress for her; she changed the subject:

Jiang Ye bro, quickly send the braised beef and peanuts that Elder Brother Mo made to Section Commander Duan; I'll feed Tangyuan some food and then take a nap.

Okay, then I'll lock the gate so no one comes to disturb you.

The man raised his eyebrows, clearly seeing that his wife didn't want to talk more about this topic, and sensibly didn't ask.

Even the closest people need private time and space.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his wife doing that; he respected his wife.

Sure.

Shen Man suppressed the upturn of her lips, feeling joy from the bottom of her heart.

She wanted to laugh, wanted to clap, she wished Lu Manman would redouble her efforts in stockpiling goods right now!

In three days, everything inside the Fu Kongjian will return to her main space!

She looked forward to seeing what expression Lu Manman would have when she discovered that all the goods she had painstakingly stockpiled had vanished.

That would definitely be wonderful!

Meow.

Tangyuan can sense its master's emotions, and it is also endlessly happy.

Just thinking that the wicked woman will get her comeuppance makes it laugh until its stomach hurts.

Well then, let's wait and see together.......
