Chapter 4 Did Ding Manman save her life?

When Cheng Cheng came out of the market carrying the little one, she was exhausted. Buying groceries was like going to war!

“Xiaoxiao, can you get down and walk? Mommy will hold your hand.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Lingxiao tried to get down, but Cheng Cheng put her down.

Little Lingxiao gripped the mesh bag with his little hands and looked up at his mother.

Cheng Cheng guessed that the little guy wanted to help her share the burden, and praised, "Xiao Xiao is so great! You've already learned to take the initiative to help Mommy share the pressure, that's wonderful!"

"Whose child is this so well-behaved and sensible? Oh, it's mine!"

Cheng Cheng spoke in an exaggerated tone, squatted down and kissed the little girl's cheek. While the little girl was shy and embarrassed, she couldn't help but puff out her little chest.

With a gentle smile, she gave the little one the lightest bundle of bok choy she was carrying.

On the way back, the sun was already high in the sky, so Cheng Cheng took Xiao Xiao to the hair salon to get her hair cut short.

Cut it to chin length. Take good care of it and make sure it gets enough nutrition. Her hair is thick and black. I remember Zhou Yue's hair was also good. There's no reason why the little one's hair is dry, yellow, and sparse.

Just let it grow, it will definitely grow!

Back home, Cheng Cheng put down her things and slumped into a chair.

If there were a sofa at home, she would definitely be lying on it already.

Little Lingxiao was as busy as a spinning top. He moved a small stool, stood on it, and laboriously lifted the large teapot to pour water for his mother.

It was served to Cheng Cheng.

"Thank you, baby~"

Cheng Cheng gulped it down in one go, it was so refreshing!

Xiao Lingxiao smiled, took the enamel cup, and ran back to the kitchen to pour water for his mother.

At that moment, a woman with double braids and wearing a dress pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in on her own.

"Cheng Cheng, I've come to see you!"

A short while later, the other person walked into the living room.

Hearing the noise, Cheng Cheng sat up from her chair. Upon seeing who it was, her heart sank.

My good mood vanished in an instant!

Just then, Xiao Lingxiao came in from the kitchen carrying an enamel cup. This time, she filled the cup to the brim with water, as if she was afraid that her mother wouldn't have enough to drink!

When Ding Manman saw the little girl, she walked straight over, took the enamel cup from the little girl's hand, and poured it into her mouth.

After finishing her drink, she said, "Zhao Di was quite thoughtful today. She knew I was coming and knew to pour me water."

Xiao Lingxiao looked at the other person, pursed his lips and remained silent, his fingers digging together.

It wasn't poured for you!

My name isn't Zhaodi, my mom calls me Xiaoxiao Baby!

But she couldn't speak; she lowered her head and looked at the ground.

Cheng Cheng immediately walked to her side, pulled the little one into her arms, looked at her, and asked in a cold tone, "Why are you here?"

Ding Manman seemed oblivious to her change. In her eyes, Cheng Cheng was as stupid as a pig, and she could easily coax her without her having to put in much effort.

She walked over to the chair without any hesitation, took out an envelope from her pocket, placed it on the table, and said with a hint of amusement, "Here, I'm here to be someone's messenger."

"Quickly open it and see what poem Chang Wenbin has written for you this time."

Ding Manman was smiling, but a hint of jealousy was hidden deep in her eyes.

Normally, Cheng Cheng would be overjoyed and opening the envelope to read the letter, completely oblivious to her expression.

But now, Cheng Cheng didn't move, and naturally she didn't miss the jealousy and hatred in the other person's eyes. She lowered her eyelashes.

I crouched down to be at eye level with the little one and said, "Little Xiao, would you like to go play in the bedroom for a while?"

As she spoke, Cheng Cheng winked at the little guy, and Xiao Lingxiao bit his lower lip, reluctantly nodding.

She ran into the bedroom, and after Xiaoxiao left, Cheng Cheng quickly composed herself and put on a smile.

She walked up to Ding Manman, her face showing just the right amount of girlish shyness, and without hesitation, she put the envelope on the table into her pocket.

Ding Manman picked up her enamel mug and took another sip of water.

Cheng Cheng frowned, staring at the enamel mug, feeling disgusted. She would definitely disinfect the enamel mug after she chased the other person away!

Then Ding Manman said, "Cheng Cheng, why don't you call her Zhao Di anymore? Why are you calling her Xiao Xiao Baby? It's such a cheesy name!"

"Didn't I tell you? If you keep shouting, good fortune will come..."

As usual, Ding Manman used her sister-in-law as an example. Her sister-in-law had three daughters before finally having a son. Her three nieces were named Zhaodi, Pandi, and Laidi.

Cheng Cheng grew angrier as she listened, and couldn't help but turn pale, lowering her head to hide her expression.

"Cheng Cheng, why haven't you opened the letter yet?"

Seeing that Cheng Cheng didn't speak, Ding Manman noticed that Cheng Cheng hadn't read Chang Wenbin's letter yet, so she couldn't help but urge her.

Cheng Cheng managed to hide the disgust in her eyes, and upon hearing this, a shy expression appeared on her face.

She folded the letter and put it in her pocket, her tone shy yet carrying a possessiveness unique to young girls: "I won't read it! I'll read what Wenbin wrote to me after you leave."

After saying that, she almost threw up her leftover dinner!

Ding Manman's face stiffened for a moment, then she laughed and teased her, "Oh, Cheng Cheng! Aren't we still best friends? I went through all the trouble of delivering the letter for you two, and you kept it from me. That's so unfair!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Cheng's lips curled into a mocking smile, which quickly disappeared.

Best friends?

Ha, a "good sister" who sucks your blood, she would love to tear you to pieces and drain your marrow, she would never dare to have such a "good sister"!

Cheng Cheng remained silent, her face cold. Ding Manman had no choice but to find a way out for herself, as this wasn't the first time such a situation had occurred.

Although Cheng Cheng is stupid and easily fooled, she has a bad temper. Whenever things don't go her way, she likes to put on a sullen face. Ding Manman has gotten used to it and hasn't noticed anything wrong.

Cheng Cheng was also relying on the original owner's personality from her memories. She remembered that at the beginning, Ding Manman once opened an envelope without permission, which was discovered by the original owner, and they almost broke off their relationship.

In the end, Ding Manman couldn't bear to part with the original owner of this big fish, so she humbled herself before the original owner for a long time before the original owner forgave her.

From then on, Ding Manman never opened the letters exchanged between the original owner of this body and Chang Wenbin again.

Thinking of this person, Cheng Cheng couldn't help but feel dizzy. Heavens, what kind of mess is this?

"Okay, okay, Cheng Cheng, I was wrong! Please forgive me, don't be upset!"

Ding Manman got up, sat on the armrest of the chair where Cheng Cheng was sitting, and wrapped her arms around her.

Cheng Cheng had to endure it all to suppress her temper and prevent herself from throwing the person away.

"Alright, I forgive you. Go back to your seat, it's so hot leaning against me!"

Ding Manman readily agreed and sat back down in her chair. Although she didn't know what Chang Wenbin had written to Cheng Cheng this time, she quickly said happily, "Cheng Cheng, let's go to the state-run department store later. They put summer dresses on sale the day before yesterday. Let's go take a look!"

"We won't be back for lunch. Let's go to the state-run restaurant for lunch, and then we'll go see a movie in the afternoon!"

Ding Manman arranged her entire day's itinerary right away!

Cheng Cheng then noticed the dress she was wearing, which seemed to be the same style as the dress in the original owner's wardrobe. In her memory, the original owner had also worn this yellow dress.

More memories flooded her mind, almost all of them images of Ding Manman borrowing clothes, skirts, and pants from her.

Moreover, they never return the money they borrow; either they accidentally lose it, or they ask to borrow it again for a while longer.

Ding Manman even turned around and used psychological manipulation on the original owner, saying that she had a closet full of clothes and asked her to borrow them for a few more days, advising the original owner not to be stingy, as Chang Wenbin didn't like stingy women.

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had different foot sizes—Ding Manman's feet were two sizes bigger than hers, and she had tried on the original owner's small leather shoes before, but couldn't squeeze in, she would definitely have had to borrow shoes!

Cheng Cheng felt extremely disgusted when she thought about all this!

Moreover, every time they went out, whether it was to eat at a state-run restaurant or watch a movie at the cinema, it was always the original owner of this body who was a sucker who paid for it!

The original owner of this body also lent Ding Manman a lot of money. If the original owner were here, Cheng Cheng would really like to ask her if Ding Manman had saved her life.

The original owner of this body was not as generous to her family as she was to Ding Manman!

Cheng Cheng maintained a cold expression and said in a cold voice, "I have no money!"

Ding Manman blurted out, "Has Zhou Yue not sent any money back this month yet?"

Cheng Cheng's expression turned even colder. According to past practice, the original owner should have gone to pick up the work and subsidies that Zhou Yue sent back yesterday. Ding Manman had timed her visit perfectly.

But she slept all day yesterday and didn't go to the post office to pick up her mail.

Observing her expression, Ding Manman speculated, "Has Zhou Yue not sent money back this month yet?"

Cheng Cheng nodded coldly. Usually, she would get paid at the end of the month, and since the package was sent from the Northwest, she would pick it up at the post office at the beginning of each month.

Seeing her nod, Ding Manman's face showed disappointment, an undisguised disappointment!

It's like a duck that was almost caught has flown away!

Cheng Cheng seemed to be thinking about something, and her face showed a troubled and conflicted expression.

Upon seeing this, Ding Manman immediately put on her understanding and caring side, asking with concern, "Cheng Cheng, what's wrong? We're such good friends, is there anything you can't tell me?"

Seeing this, Cheng Cheng still looked conflicted, her tone revealing embarrassment, and she found it difficult to speak: "My mother and sister-in-law found out about my fight with my older sister, and they came over and scolded me, forcing me to make up with my older sister."

“My eldest sister knows that I borrowed your clothes and wants me to ask you to get them back so that Da Ni and Er Ni can wear them.”

"Manman, you know, I never even thought about this."

Cheng Cheng spoke earnestly and hurriedly grasped Ding Manman's hand, as if afraid that she would misunderstand or disbelieve her.

Her voice was strained and hesitant: "Manman, I didn't want to either, but my older sister threatened me that if I didn't get the clothes back for Da Ni and Er Ni to wear, she would come looking for you herself."

"besides……"

Cheng Cheng paused for a moment, her eyes filled with apology, "Manman, I'm sorry, my older sister said that if you don't return it, she will go to your house and ask you for it."

“If my eldest sister really does that, I’m worried that my mom, my sister-in-law, and my second sister-in-law will definitely come after you.”

A hint of fear appeared on Cheng Cheng's face, and she spoke earnestly, which made Ding Manman completely believe her!

Cheng Cheng is stupid, can't lie, and is foolish, but her older sister, her mother, her sister-in-law, and her second sister-in-law are not to be trifled with!

Didn't Cheng Cheng have a falling out with her older sister a while ago? How come they've made up again?

Damn it!

The thought of Sister Cheng coming to her house to make trouble, and Cheng Cheng's mother and sister-in-law coming to her house together, made Ding Manman panic!

Grabbing Cheng Cheng's hand, she asked anxiously, "What should we do?"
