Chapter 4

Lu Ye, the fourth son, had heard whispers about his wife’s bad relationship with Shen Wu when he married her. They even competed with each other on their wedding day.

Shen Wu was the one his third brother was marrying.

Xu Yin glanced at Lu Ye, “If you lose to Shen Wu, don’t get into bed tonight.”

Thinking of the night before, a night of bone-melting passion, Lu Ye’s bones went numb. He secretly glanced at his parents who were entangled in their own conversation.

He grabbed the other leg of the rabbit and quietly placed it in Xu Yin’s bowl.

Shen Wu was chewing on her rabbit leg, she looked up at Xu Yin.

Best friends have a telepathic connection.

Xu Yin was also looking at her, she blinked, then turned her head to eat her own food, pretending to be at odds with each other, both of them understood without needing to communicate, maintaining the “disagreement” for now.

Shen Wu had only received some etiquette training for the purpose of attracting rich second-generation, but here, resources were scarce, if it didn’t go into her stomach, it would go into someone else’s. Skills were for people to use, Shen Wu was not going to follow those etiquette rules, soon the rabbit leg went into her belly.

But she wanted to grab more.

Others also reacted, they were no longer fighting for the daily egg, if they fought for the meat, there wouldn’t be any left.

They all reacted and grabbed the meat.

They took a bite, feeling very satisfied.

This Shen Wu looked like a fox spirit, but her cooking was really good, they had never eaten such delicious meat.

Old Mrs. Lu was also relieved from the people surrounding her, she happened to see Shen Wu grabbing more meat, her mouth was still full of oil.

She was unhappy, and she slammed her chopsticks down.

The meat that Shen Wu had just grabbed fell to the ground, and the chopsticks in Shen Wu’s hand also seemed to fall suddenly, with a clatter.

Old Mrs. Lu couldn’t stand this new daughter-in-law who was so alluring: “Eat, eat, eat, you don’t do anything, just focus on your mouth!”

Shen Wu was only heartbroken that her meat was knocked away, she wasn’t too unhappy, she just didn’t speak, her watery eyes held a bag of tears, about to fall, she looked at Lu Xuan beside her.

Lu Xuan…

At this moment, his mind inexplicably recalled what his mother had said when she told him to get married.

That girl from the Shen family, she’s beautiful, you won’t find anyone like her in ten miles, she’s diligent, honest, dignified, and steady in her work.

Lu Xuan felt that only the beautiful part of his mother’s description was true.

As for honest, dignified, and steady in her work.

He inexplicably thought of the person who had talked about divorce in the kitchen, now she was shedding tears again, looking pitiful, she looked very delicate, she didn’t seem to have anything to do with those words.

Lu Xuan sighed in his heart, he thought about it and decided that this was still good, he used his long arm to grab a piece of meat and put it in her bowl.

Shen Wu’s chopsticks had already rolled to the ground, she looked at his chopsticks with longing eyes.

Lu Xuan…

He thought about it and gave her his chopsticks.

He then picked up Shen Wu’s chopsticks, ready to go out and wash them.

She did all this silently, just quietly reddening her eyes.

But everyone at the table was strangely quiet as they watched Lu Xuan grab meat for her and give her his chopsticks.

Those who had been in this family for a long time knew that the third son’s personality was the worst, he usually had a cold face and was impervious to reason.

Old Mrs. Lu was so angry that she felt uncomfortable: “Third son, you stand up!”

Lu Xuan had already gone out the door.

He turned back.

“Sit down and eat.”

Shen Wu’s redness hadn’t faded yet: “Mother, the third brother’s chopsticks are dirty, you won’t let him go out and wash them, you’re going to give him your chopsticks?”

The girl with red eyes.

She looked innocent.

It seemed like those were really Lu Xuan’s chopsticks.

After Shen Wu finished speaking, she added: “That’s not okay either, the third brother and I are husband and wife, I don’t mind him, but mother, your chopsticks, don’t let the third brother use them, I can’t accept it.”

She said it very softly.

Old Mrs. Lu was so angry that she was about to explode, her face was blue with anger.

Shen Wu had already lowered her head to eat, she was satisfied with chewing on the meat, there were no tears in her eyes.

Someone at the table let out a snort of laughter.

Old Mrs. Lu suddenly regretted letting her son marry such a wife.

Lu Xuan came back after washing the chopsticks, he saw that the atmosphere at the table was not good, but his wife was burying her head in eating, when she saw him come back, she gave him a faint smile, her voice was soft and warm: “I grabbed a piece of meat for you, third brother, eat quickly.”

Lu Xuan looked at the meat in his bowl.

Hmm, there was more bone than meat.

He looked at the meat in Shen Wu’s bowl, the meat was thick and juicy, it would be oily when you bit into it.

He didn’t know if she had grabbed a piece that she wasn’t satisfied with and put it in his bowl.

His wife seemed innocent, she wouldn’t do that.

He didn’t see that she had made his mother so angry, she was acting as if she didn’t know.

Shen Wu was eating when others were angry, and she was eating when others were eating, she had finished her meal, and she saw that the food was almost gone, it was time to wash dishes.

“Oh, my stomach suddenly hurts!”

She said as she grabbed her stomach and ran out.

Old Mrs. Lu looked at her back and muttered: “You put so much oil in the food, who wouldn’t have a stomachache.”

“You’re not thinking about your life.”

“Wasteful woman!”

Shen Wu heard it but didn’t refute her, she ran away first, she didn’t dislike cooking, but she hated washing dishes.

Shen Wu ran out and she became normal again, she went into the room where she woke up yesterday, she saw the red paper with the double happiness characters written on it still pasted on the door.

There were several big and small ones pasted in the room.

There was a new enamel basin, a new mirror, a red circle, the size of a palm, everything had a sense of the times.

When Shen Wu saw the mirror, she picked it up and looked at the person in the mirror, an oval face, a pair of good-looking eyes, with particularly large pupils, very moving, her skin looked more delicate and well-maintained than her last life, maybe because she was young, overall, she was actually very similar to her last life, just a little more beautiful.

But thinking about the era in the book, this small rural area, people could barely eat enough, if she didn’t pay attention, her face might not be able to maintain its beauty for long.

Shen Wu didn’t know if others could endure hardship, but she had endured enough, otherwise she wouldn’t have thought of learning some green tea tactics in her last life to attract rich second-generation.

She didn’t catch any men, but she did catch Xu Yin, who was even better than men, she didn’t care about her face, she didn’t care about her body, she even introduced her to business deals.

Thinking of Xu Yin, Xu Yin’s voice came from outside.

“Shen Wu, don’t try to shirk your work! Come out!”

“Don’t pretend you’re not home! Open the door!”

Shen Wu heard the voice and opened the door, letting Xu Yin in.

As soon as she opened the door, Xu Yin saw the mirror in her hand, she took it away and first looked at her own face, she sighed in relief at the same time.

Her facial features were the same as in her last life, a high nose bridge, monolids, she looked slightly world-weary, she had a small red mole on her lip, the only difference was that her skin was whiter than her last life, when she deliberately tanned her skin, but it didn’t matter, she could just sunbathe.

Shen Wu looked outside: “How did you get here?”

Xu Yin coughed lightly: “The old lady asked me to wash the dishes, my hands, they are for holding a paintbrush, for riding a horse, for fighting, are they for washing dishes? I said, you don’t wash, I don’t wash, I went to call you.”

Xu Yin leaned against the wall lazily, but she felt it was dirty as soon as she leaned on it.

“This life, will it just be like this?”

“There are no cell phones, no wireless, not even a light bulb, the worst part is, the toilet…” Xu Yin had really gone to the toilet to find Shen Wu, she came out with a disgusted look on her face, covering her nose.

Shen Wu also had a headache: “Think about it, at least there’s male beauty, not to mention, the Lu brothers are good-looking.”

Xu Yin admired her own face: “I’d rather go back to the modern world, there’s money, leisure, and freedom, are you willing to stay for male beauty?”
