Chapter 181: This Space Change Is All Thanks to Lu Manman's Friendly Sponsorship

Jiang Ye finished his tasks, then held an umbrella and left for work.

Shen Man continued the medical theory she needed to memorize today; honestly, she's not pregnant, and memorizing is a piece of cake for her.

She flipped through it once, and the knowledge rooted in her mind, a perfect photographic memory.

Beside her, Tangyuan, belly exposed on the cat climbing frame, was snoring soundly.

Shen Man set the medical book down and yawned.

Life being too idle isn't good; she feels as if she's rusting.

She still needs to find something to pass the time.

She glanced at her wristwatch; it was only about ten o'clock, and the man wouldn't be back for another two hours.

Why not enter the space and sort the items Lu Manman collected, categorizing them.

It's not her fault she's lazy; during this period the man watches her closely, fearing she'll bump into things.

Except for using the bathroom, she refuses to let him follow, so they're practically inseparable.

During this time, only Tangyuan has the chance to slip in and take care of things.

She has absolutely no chance to stay long.

She hasn't been in here for a long time; the space has changed a lot.

First, the celestial lotuses in the lotus pond truly, as Tangyuan said, have two extra blossoms!

From now on, the Spiritual Liquid yields two extra drops daily—good news.

The fish in the pond, though sea fish, were once no larger than a pinky finger when captured; now they've grown to about a foot long, and it's unclear what they eat to grow like that.

Shen Man doesn't dwell on things she can't figure out; she simply doesn't think about them.

People, if they want to live well, must learn to play deaf and mute.

She believes Lu Lao Zu won't betray her.

Tangyuan certainly won't hide any bad news from her, so it's fine.

On the black soil, the vegetable seeds she sowed have flourished, showing a stark contrast to the vegetables grown in the small courtyard outside the space.

Perhaps this is the difference between a place with spiritual energy and one without, reflected in the growth of food.

In the area where Tangyuan used to hatch eggs, a few hens were incubating; upon seeing her, they didn't flutter away in surprise but calmly preened their feathers.

The boldest hen, perhaps hungry, stood up, stretched its limbs, then swaggered over to the black soil, pecked at the edge leaves, occasionally scratching the garden with its claws and gulping down the insects it uncovered.

After eating, the hen went back to the pond's edge, stuck its head in to drink.

After eating and drinking enough, the hen returned to its nest and continued incubating.

Shen Man watched in awe, no wonder she hadn't been feeding the hens in the space; the hens grew plump and could lay two eggs daily.

It turns out the hens can take care of their own food, drink, and daily life inside the space.

Hmm, not bad, she gave a thumbs‑up.

Next, she thought of sorting through Lu Manman's clutter, picking and choosing.

Most of the clothing was destroyed on the spot, shattered into fragments, suitable for making hen nests.

There was also a small batch of brand‑new clothes and shoes; destroying them would be a pity, but after thinking, she realized she already had enough clothes and shoes.

She packed everything and mailed it to Aunt Ge, asking her to distribute them to the neighboring girls.

As for the quilt, she took off the brand‑new red cover; the cotton is good, and she'll ask Sister Qinghong for help later to make a few child‑size bedding sets.

Tables, chairs, and stools were all dismantled for firewood; she wouldn't use them anyway, it's repulsive.

Light bulbs?

Utensils, pots, bowls, ladles...

Lu Manman is so resentful; everything was cleared out, even Gu Yinyin's younger sister's dowry was taken—did the other side eat it?

There were a lot of cash and other notes, totaling about five thousand yuan.

If Lu Manman comes to Sea Island next time, she'll definitely treat her well, after all the other contributed a huge fortune to her.

Suddenly, she sensed something was off.

Hold on, what about those antique paintings and calligraphy?

Shen Man specifically went into the house to search, but they weren't there.

Meow.

Master, what are you looking for?

Tangyuan entered the space, sounding freshly dazed from waking.

"Tangyuan, how did you get in?"

Shen Man replied in surprise, noting that until now Tangyuan could only enter the space through her touch.

Meow.

"Master, I haven't had a chance to tell you, my spiritual power has recovered a bit, and now within a hundred kilometers I can enter and exit the space at any time."

Also, the space has expanded greatly; the external mist has thinned, revealing its original appearance.

"No wonder, I said after entering the space it felt different."

After listening, Shen Man suddenly understood and asked:

"Where are the antique paintings, calligraphy, and relics Lu Manman collected? I searched around and didn't see them."

Meow.

"Master, those items were absorbed by the space; they're nutrients for its expansion."

Tangyuan explained earnestly, "In short, this space change is all thanks to Lu Manman's friendly sponsorship."

In short, it's called 'delivering vegetables'.

No wonder.

After Shen Man figured out the ins and outs, her heart eased.

Great, thanks Lu Manman!

Helping her clear the obstacles saved her a lot of trouble.

One person and one cat wandered in the space for a while; Shen Man, before the man came back, held Tangyuan and left the space.

She grabbed two eggs in her hand; at noon, she wanted to eat fresh tomato egg noodles.

Since Shen Man learned that Tangyuan could freely come and go within a hundred kilometers of the space, she stopped restraining Tangyuan.

Tangyuan has some ability to protect itself; if worse comes to worst, it can act cute and submissive, so it won't be completely defenseless.

The world is so big; Tangyuan wants to go out and see it—within a safe distance, let it do as it pleases.

Tangyuan repeatedly promised that it was just going out for a stroll, and incidentally digging for treasure, searching for treasure, and storing it in the space.

It's not just about knowing how to nibble the owner's dry rations; as a member of this household, it has a duty to share part of the burden of raising the little owners!

Tangyuan ran away from home—oh no, it went out hunting with a purpose.

On the first day, Shen Man noticed a few more fish on the ground of the space.

On the second day, Shen Man noticed one more bird on the ground of the space.

On the third day, Shen Man noticed one more wild rabbit on the ground of the space.

On the fourth day, Shen Man habitually went to check the space; uh, the egg cake she had placed on the plate had all turned into CDs.

Fine, fine, fine—as long as there's no danger, if Tangyuan wants to roam outside, just let it be.

Jiang Ye recently felt that something was missing at home; he realized it had been several days since he'd seen Tangyuan. Seeing his wife's unfazed expression, he guessed Tangyuan hadn't gotten lost, but was probably having a blast playing with other little companions, so happy he didn't want to return to Shu.

Without Tangyuan at home, it's also fine—their private world of just the two of them isn't awkward....

Several dozen kilometers outside, Tangyuan, who was probing the depths of a cave, suddenly sneezed.

Who is badmouthing the Meow Meow King behind its back?
