When I woke up the next morning, Xu Wei was still asleep. I knew that the little girl must have been exhausted last night. I quietly got out of bed and went out the door, where I ran into Xiao Qiang standing outside.

After seeing me, he glanced into the doorway, then gritted his teeth and sneered, "So, what were you making such a fuss about last night? Turns out you were still up to no good. You're really something!"

After saying that, she turned around and went downstairs. I know that even though Xiao Qiang often tells me that she is not jealous, jealousy is a woman's nature. In addition, Xiao Qiang is a very proud person. She only accepted my relationship with Xu Wei because she had no other choice.

Seeing Xu Wei and me like this, she was naturally very upset, but at that time Xu Wei and I were already together. If I were to turn around and break up with Xu Wei now, I really wouldn't be able to give her an explanation or closure.

I didn't want to wake Xu Wei or let her see this scene, so I quickly and quietly followed behind Xiao Qiang.

Xiao Qiang stormed down the mountain, and I quickly chased after her, pulling her into my arms.

"Honey, can you please stop acting like this? Who was it that said you wouldn't be jealous of me and Xu Wei being together? Now you're throwing a tantrum, and I'm really at a loss for what to do."

Xiao Qiang turned around and glared at me fiercely: "Forget it, stop pretending to be innocent after getting the benefit. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You two did it several times last night, do you think I didn't know? They both slept, but I didn't sleep at all. Zhao Sihai, you will never know how painful it is for me when you are with other women like this."

As Xiao Qiang spoke, her eyes reddened. If she had only argued with me, I might have just comforted her and let it go. But seeing her so aggrieved, I suddenly felt a little bad too.

"But Xu Wei is innocent too. If anyone is to blame for this, it's me. If you're really upset, why don't you yell at me a couple of times!"

Xiao Qiang glared at me fiercely, then punched me a few times. Her blows weren't heavy, but each one hit my heart.

I held Xiao Qiang tightly in my arms, whispering in her ear countless times, "I love you, I really love you. Don't worry, I won't let you down, and I will never disappoint you!"

Xiao Qiang was about to say something more when a cough suddenly came from behind me. I turned around and saw Chen Jian standing behind me with an embarrassed look on his face.

I was still holding Xiao Qiang. Xiao Qiang had obviously seen Chen Jian too. He was stunned for a moment, then pushed me away, wiped his eyes, and turned to go up the mountain.

Chen Jian coughed and leaned closer to me: "Brother Sihai, I think you and your wife are having another fight, aren't you? Wasn't my appearance timely? Can I be considered to have solved your problem?"

I swung my hand back and kicked Chen Jian, who grinned mischievously.

"Brother Sihai, how can you be so ungrateful? If I hadn't rushed over to help you in time, you'd still be stuck in that maze right now, wouldn't you?"

I sighed and squatted down on a nearby rock. "Sigh, you're telling me I can't even handle two women? If there were three or four, wouldn't I go crazy? I really don't understand how those emperors in ancient times managed to balance having three palaces, six courtyards, and 72 concubines."

Chen Jian shook his head: "How would I know about this? But when I was little, I often fantasized about being an emperor. How awesome would that be? But that's impossible now. However, I'm already very content with being with Liu Jiaojiao."

"Brother Sihai, let's not talk about those useless things. Today I want to go to the jade mine to make a jade pillow for Liu Jiaojiao. She hasn't been sleeping very well lately. Wooden pillows are too hard. I think jade pillows would be much better than wooden ones. I'll also catch two wild rabbits for her. Covering the pillow with their fur will make it softer and more comfortable."

“Liu Jiaojiao is pregnant now, and her temper has become very irritable. I don’t dare to provoke her, because she will get angry if I do. I want to make her happier. Anyway, you don’t have anything to do now, and going back to the mountain will only cause more trouble. Why don’t we go to that mine to get stones? I’ve already talked to Brother Wang Ping. He’ll stay here and keep an eye on them, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”

I looked up at the mountaintop. Xiao Qiang was probably already cooking. I figured that even if I went back, it would only be like what Chen Jian had just said.

Xiao Qiang wouldn't pay attention to me, and if I ran into Xu Wei, it would only be more awkward, so I looked at Chen Jian and nodded.

"Alright then, go upstairs and get some tools and some dry rations. Let's go now."

Chen Jianxing shouted excitedly, then quickly went up the mountain and came down with a basket not long after.

The basket contained dried fish and dried meat, a bottle of water, and some military-grade shovels and kitchen knives.

Chen Jian and I walked towards the jade mine, chatting as we went. After a whole afternoon of searching, we finally managed to bring back a pillow.

Chen Jian's one was naturally meant for Liu Jiaojiao, but I regretted taking this one back halfway there.

If I were to give this jade pillow to Xiao Qiang, Xu Wei would definitely be unhappy.

But if I give it to Xu Wei, Xiao Qiang will definitely throw a tantrum again. I'd really be shooting myself in the foot.

But if we threw it away, we would have gone to so much trouble, and we really couldn't bear to part with it. In the end, when I was in a dilemma after carrying the jade pillow up the mountain, Wang Xiaoxiao happened to come out, saw the jade pillow, and looked pleasantly surprised.

"This is so beautiful! Did you and Chen Jian make it? Oh my, it feels so smooth, it must be so comfortable to use as a pillow."

I was just wondering what to do with this jade pillow when I saw how much Wang Xiaoxiao liked it, so I reached out and handed it to her.

"Since you like it so much, go ahead and use it. I'll make one for everyone when I have time."

Wang Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised and happily accepted the pillow, then carried it into the wooden house.

But just as she reached the door, Xiao Qiang and Xu Wei came out to meet her. Their eyes almost simultaneously fell on the jade pillow, and their expressions instantly changed.

The three women looked somewhat awkward together.

For a moment, I felt completely overwhelmed. What on earth was going on? With so many women, the situation was truly complicated.

At this moment, I have almost no choice in whom to help, because I will not be appreciated by either side.

Just when they were in a dilemma, a series of shouts and curses suddenly came from Chen Jian's house.

I immediately made an excuse and went to Chen Jian's yard. I saw Bai Wei standing outside the fence, looking at Chen Jian with bloodshot eyes, shouting and appearing extremely agitated.

Bai Wei's eyes were fixed on the jade pillow that Chen Jian was holding.

"Chen Jian, even if you were the ones who discovered this, we all ended up on this deserted island together, so this jade mine belongs to all of us. You can't keep it all for yourself!"
