Chapter 48: An Ordinarily Self-Assured Man

Wang Yumeng, although feeling relieved at Lu Qiaoqing’s words, couldn’t help but frown.

Lu Qiaoqing’s mouth was unrestrained, she had to keep her distance from her in the future, lest she cause trouble and implicate her.

Chen Ziyun directly scolded Lu Qiaoqing, “Lu Zhiqing, it’s a problem with your thinking to slander revolutionary comrades like that! If you’re reported, you’ll be sent for ideological transformation!

If you want to ruin yourself, no one cares, but don’t say such things in front of Mengmeng and me to implicate us!”

Lu Qiaoqing slandered Shen Chuning partly out of jealousy, and partly to make Chen Ziyun realize her goodness through comparison.

Unexpectedly, not only did Chen Ziyun not realize her goodness, but he also said that to her, she was filled with grievances.

Wang Yumeng also sighed and said earnestly, “Qiaoqing, Chen Ziyun is right, these are special times, we must be cautious in our words and deeds.”

Lu Qiaoqing always followed Wang Yumeng’s lead.

Since Wang Yumeng and Chen Ziyun had said so, she could only bite her lip and respond aggrievedly, “Mm, Chen Ziyun, Mengmeng, I understand, I’ll be careful with my words in the future.”

Back at the educated youth point, Wang Yumeng, taking advantage of no one’s attention, immediately went to find Chen Ziyun, “Brother Ziyun, did you notice that Shen Chuning wasn’t wearing the koi pendant?”

As a normal man, when looking at a woman, Chen Ziyun wouldn’t be attracted to a cheap pendant.

But he didn’t want Wang Yumeng to discover his intentions, so he nodded solemnly, “Mm, I noticed.”

“Brother Ziyun, we can’t delay this any longer. Go find Shen Chuning tonight, no matter what method you use, you must get that pendant.” Wang Yumeng said anxiously.

She must get the heroine’s golden finger from the book!

Chen Ziyun nodded, “Okay, I’ll go find her tonight.”

Wang Yumeng thought for a moment and said, “Brother Ziyun, we still have some of the medicine we bought last time. Take it with you tonight and try to get Shen Chuning to eat it. As long as you succeed with her, make her give you the pendant as hush money.”

“No need.” Chen Ziyun refused without thinking, “Mengmeng, trust my charm. Shen Chuning has been waiting for me to find her, don’t do those messy things, it will only make her unhappy.”

Chen Ziyun still firmly believed that Shen Chuning’s sudden 180-degree turn in attitude was just playing hard to get.

It was just that the ignorant woman had played too much this time, making herself look like a worn-out shoe.

It was only because she still looked decent that he didn’t dislike her.

If she looked even slightly worse, he wouldn’t even look at her again.

Hearing Chen Ziyun’s words, Wang Yumeng couldn’t help but frown.

She hadn’t noticed when she read the book that the male lead was such an ordinarily self-assured man.

It was the male lead’s business that he was self-assured, but she definitely had to use the male lead to get the golden finger.

As soon as Shen Chuning entered Zhou’s house with her basket, several children surrounded her, calling “Third Aunt, Third Aunt.”

Shen Chuning distributed the fruit candies and sponge cakes in the basket to the children before carrying the basket into Lin Shulan’s kitchen.

Sun Fengjiao had just returned from work and was cooking. Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, she came out and saw Shen Chuning entering her mother-in-law’s kitchen.

Her eyes flashed.

She walked towards Xia Yue’e, who was about to go to the well to fetch water to wash vegetables, “Yue’e, wasn’t the kitchen on Yubai’s side finished first? Why did Yubai’s wife go to Mother’s place?”

Xia Yue’e wasn’t really stupid, after being scolded by Sun Fengjiao last time, she was very clear-headed now.

“Oh, maybe Third sister-in-law is sending something to Mother?” Xia Yue’e responded indifferently, “Besides, Third brother is gone, Ningning is at home alone, if she’s too lazy to cook, it’s not strange for her to come and eat with Mother.”

Xia Yue’e said, pouring the washing water into the vegetable patch in the courtyard, and entered her own kitchen.

Seeing that her provocation was unsuccessful, Sun Fengjiao curled her lips at her back.

She rolled her eyes again, took half a bowl of stir-fried lettuce with oil residue, and went to the main room.

“Mother, what vegetables are you having tonight? I added oil residue to the stir-fried lettuce today, I brought half a bowl for you, I put it on the table!”

Sun Fengjiao poked her head into Lin Shulan’s kitchen and said.

Her eyes quickly swept across the entire kitchen.

She didn’t believe that even if she brought food, her mother-in-law would still favor Yubai’s family.

Lin Shulan saw Sun Fengjiao’s eyes rolling and knew what she was up to.

She immediately took out the things from Shen Chuning’s basket and said, “Third son’s wife, it’s fine that you brought rice and flour, why did you bring such a large piece of meat?”

Lin Shulan’s reproachful gaze carried a hint of doting as she glanced at Shen Chuning.

Then she said to Sun Fengjiao, “Oldest son’s wife, Third son’s wife brought us a lot of things today, your father and I, two old people, can’t eat so much…”

Sun Fengjiao looked at the meat in Shen Chuning’s basket, her eyes almost straight.

Although they had a big meal a few days ago when the family was divided, these days, people couldn’t even eat enough, let alone the lack of oil and water.

They hadn’t eaten meat for two days and were already very hungry.

Hearing Lin Shulan’s words, she thought her mother-in-law was going to share some of the meat Shen Chuning brought.

With a happy face, she was about to go in and take it, “Mother, this is Third sister-in-law’s filial piety to you and Father, how can I…”

Before she finished speaking, Lin Shulan changed her tone, “Take your stir-fried lettuce with oil residue back to the children, we’ll just eat the meat that Third son’s wife brought.”

The smile on Sun Fengjiao’s face froze, and the hand she had extended halfway awkwardly retracted.

“Okay, okay, Mother, I’ll take it back first, and I’ll bring you more good food in the future.”

Sun Fengjiao awkwardly took the half bowl of stir-fried lettuce with oil residue back.

Lin Shulan then sighed.

She suspected that she had misjudged the eldest son’s wife, she was too calculating, always scheming.

It had only been a few days since the family was divided, and she was thinking about coming to their two old people to take advantage of them every day, it was really…

The second son’s wife didn’t think about taking advantage of them, but since the family was divided, she hadn’t even visited their main room.

She was also heartless.

In comparison, the third son’s family was really good. Her mother-in-law felt sorry for her injured hand and asked her to come over for a meal, and she brought rice, flour, and meat.

No wonder Yubai cherished his wife, even she, as the mother-in-law, felt sorry for her.
