Chapter 19

“It must be, look at that little waist and big butt of her, even I, a woman, can’t help but look at her a few more times. Men don’t even need to say, they probably almost broke the bed last night.”

“That’s right, Zhengguo just came back from the army, he’s over twenty years old and hasn’t had a woman, let alone marry a wife who’s so handsome, it’s normal for young couples to be inseparable.”

Lu Zhengguo heard every explicit word without missing a beat.

He frowned slightly, he looked at Shen Man who was riding her bicycle towards him, he was about to walk over.

Shen Man didn’t seem to see him, she quickly bypassed him and went straight home.

Lu Zhengguo: “…”

The aunts and grandmothers who were watching the show were dumbfounded.

“Didn’t they say that Shen Man drugged herself and climbed into bed to marry Zhengguo, why do I feel like she… doesn’t like Zhengguo, could it be that the gossip is false?”

Who would like someone like that, she didn’t even give him a glance.

“I’ve been a matchmaker for so many years, my eyesight is definitely good, Shen Man didn’t give Zhengguo a single glance.”

“There’s no feeling of reunion between the young couple, I dare say, Shen Man definitely doesn’t like Zhengguo.”

“I can testify to that, I don’t think she likes Zhengguo either, they don’t even look familiar, they’re like strangers.”

“It seems that the story of Shen Man drugging herself and climbing into bed, it’s hard to say whether it’s true or not.”

Lu Zhengguo stood there, watching Shen Man disappear, he turned and looked at the aunts and grandmothers who were gossiping, he strode forward.

He didn’t know if Shen Man still had feelings for him, but Shen Man, four years ago, was definitely interested in him.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have seduced him repeatedly, and even ignored the fact that he was her future brother-in-law, she drugged herself and climbed into bed to marry into the Lu family.

Soon, Shen Man stopped her bicycle in the Lu family’s courtyard.

Zhang Fengxia, who was washing clothes in the courtyard, was instantly flustered when she saw the bicycle.

She threw the clothes in her hand and ran to Shen Man, she reached out and carefully touched the handlebars of the bicycle.

“Sister-in-law, did you just buy this?”

Shen Man got off the bicycle and pushed it under the eaves, “No, I bought it this morning.”

“Then… then it must have cost a lot of money?”

Zhang Fengxia’s eyes were red with envy, she surrounded the bicycle, touching it here and there, she thought it was so beautiful.

She wanted a bike like this too.

Shen Man was about to say something when Lu Zhengguo walked in from outside, their eyes met.

She was the first to look away, “I don’t know, it must be one or two hundred yuan.”

Zhang Fengxia understood, she didn’t ask any more, she reluctantly withdrew her hand.

This bicycle must have been bought by Shen Man’s mother.

She couldn’t be jealous, who could blame her for having a good mother, not only did she spend money to buy her a job, but she also spent money to buy her a car.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fengxia could only be envious, she turned and continued washing clothes.

After parking her bicycle, Shen Man went directly into the kitchen and started preparing dinner.

The Lu family has a total of nine people, including two children.

She took the appropriate amount of rice from the rice jar, put it in the pot and washed it to cook rice, according to the Lu family’s appetite and daily ration.

Then, she peeled and sliced the potatoes, peeled and minced the garlic, and cut a few dried chillies, she planned to make a dish of stir-fried potato shreds.

The monthly oil ration for the family is also fixed, so the oil used every day must be allocated according to the ration.

Of course, stir-fried dishes are more delicious with more oil, but Shen Man didn’t dare to put more, she could only use the family’s ration.

Shen Man loved to experiment with different cuisines in the modern world, even if there wasn’t much oil, she could still make the food taste good.

Just one stir-fried potato dish wouldn’t be enough to eat.

Shen Man also steamed some cornmeal steamed bread, made a plate of pickled vegetables, and made an egg and scallion soup with two eggs.

Dinner was ready.

Soon, a strong aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, making people salivate just by smelling it.

Lu Hongmei, who was in her room preparing for the exam, couldn’t sit still anymore, she threw down her pen and books and rushed out.

Zhang Fengxia, who was washing clothes outside, smelled the aroma of eggs and her face instantly changed.

She quickly wrung out the clothes in her hands and hung them up to dry, then she strode into the house.

“Shen Man, did Mom give you the key to that cabinet?”

The family’s eggs, some flour, and the meat they bought every time were all kept in that cabinet in the kitchen.

Only her mother-in-law had the key to that cabinet.

She had been married into the Lu family for so many years, and she had only touched that key a few times.

How could she suddenly give it to her daughter-in-law, she couldn’t agree to that.

At this time, Lu Mu just came back from outside, she smelled the aroma of eggs and rushed into the house.

Who, who stole her key and opened the cabinet where the family kept their eggs?

Could it be her eldest daughter-in-law?

She subconsciously shouted, “Fengxia, you can’t touch the family’s eggs.”

Zhang Fengxia had just reached the kitchen door, when she heard this, her face turned black, “Mom, who are you talking about, I haven’t touched the family’s eggs.”

Lu Mu just came in, she saw her black face and was stunned, “No… who else could it be?”

Except for her eldest daughter-in-law, who else in this family would care about her eggs.

Zhang Fengxia rolled her eyes and pointed to the kitchen, “Go in and take a look yourself, I’m not the one cooking today.”

She didn’t expect that in her mother-in-law’s eyes, she was this kind of person, it seemed that she was too nice to her.

Lu Mu gave a dry laugh, she was about to say something.

Shen Man, carrying the egg and scallion soup she had just made, walked out of the kitchen, “Sister-in-law, Mom, dinner is ready, call everyone over and sit down to eat.”

Lu Hongmei came out of the room, she smelled the aroma and leaned in to take a deep sniff of the big bowl of egg and scallion soup.

“So fragrant, Mom, Sister-in-law, what’s the good day today, we actually have egg soup to drink?”

She couldn’t even remember when she last smelled the smell of eggs.

Lu Mu looked at Shen Man, her face was a little bad, she opened her mouth to say something, but she was afraid that Shen Man would make a fuss, so she shut her mouth and secretly comforted herself.

Forget it, forget it, it’s not worth it to make the whole family unhappy over two eggs.

Anyway, she wasn’t eating alone, these eggs would go into everyone’s stomachs.

She thought this way, but Zhang Fengxia didn’t think so, she had just been blamed, how could she swallow this?

After everyone in the Lu family sat down.

Zhang Fengxia glanced at Shen Man, then at Lu Zhengguo, “Zhengguo, how does the egg soup taste today?”

“This was made for you by your wife. It tastes good, right? I almost drooled when I smelled it today, it seems that your sister-in-law is really good to you.”

“This bowl of egg soup, it used at least two big eggs, I wasn’t willing to give my two nephews any when they were craving it.”

“She’s so generous to you.”
