While having dinner in the evening, Jiang Sui thought about Liu Mei's behavior in the past two days and the vague words that Ma Fengcheng said to him. He rubbed his chopsticks, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xiang Baiwei, who was sitting opposite him, looked up and noticed that Jiang Sui looked absent-minded, so she raised her hand and waved it in front of him, "Why are you daydreaming? You're daydreaming while eating. Is there something wrong with your work?"

"No, it's not a big deal," Jiang Sui smiled, and immediately explained to Xiang Baiwei's puzzled look, "Recently, many people have asked me to borrow books. I was wondering who borrowed my books."

Xiang Baiwei didn't think it was a big deal at first. Borrowing books was normal, especially since Jiang Sui had quite a few books.

Jiang Sui observed her expression and slowly moved closer to the point: "When they return books, they always bring some notes or something. Some of them I can't remember if they put them in my book, so they come to me for it. When I'm not at home, if someone comes to return the book, you remember to return the things in the book to them."

"Okay, I got it. If anyone comes to return a book to my house later, I will remember this."

Xiang Baiwei didn't think much about it and agreed without thinking.

After a while, she belatedly remembered something.

Something that should have happened a long time ago, but has not happened yet.

In her previous life, she and Jiang Sui had been married for only a month when Xiang Baiwei found a love letter written by Liu Mei in Jiang Sui's book. The letter was filled with bold and passionate words.

That love letter caused the relationship between the two to become awkward for the first time.

But in this life, the love letter has not appeared yet.

Xiang Baiwei looked up at Jiang Sui who was drinking soup, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Could it be that Jiang Sui was too cautious and didn't bring the letter home? Or maybe he was too busy with the grain processing factory and didn't find the love letter?

Otherwise, what did Jiang Sui mean by what he said just now? In just two minutes, countless thoughts popped up in Xiang Baiwei's mind.

But she suppressed all these thoughts in the end.

Xiang Baiwei decided not to make any more guesses. At least for now she and Jiang Sui were getting along well, and there was no need to create a rift with him over something that was not true.

Anyway, thinking about it will not achieve any result.

The days are getting colder and colder, and it is almost the twelfth lunar month.

It’s the twelfth lunar month now and the New Year is approaching.

That afternoon, after sending off the children for winter vacation, the teachers worked together to clean up the school, and then planned to have a meal together in the evening to celebrate the end of another semester.

The location of the dinner was naturally set in the school cafeteria.

Jiang Sui, whose home was not far from the school, thought about asking Xiang Baiwei to join in the fun. It was so cold, it would be bad to leave her alone at home for dinner, as it would be lonely.

It would be more lively if a bunch of people sat together and talked and laughed.

Jiang Sui found Xiang Baiwei who was cleaning with Chi Kunli in the workshop: "Several teachers have agreed to make dumplings in the school cafeteria tonight. Would you like to come with us?"

Xiang Baiwei, who was sweeping the yard, heard this and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

She was not very familiar with that group of teachers, and they were all Jiang Sui's friends, so she didn't really want to integrate into Jiang Sui's social circle.

Chi Kunli, who was standing by, noticed that Xiang Baiwei seemed a little reluctant to go, so she found an excuse to send Jiang Sui aside, and then she came over to remind Xiang Baiwei: "Why don't you go? It's a great opportunity, why waste it."

"What good opportunity? I'm not familiar with those teachers, and I don't want to join in the fun. Besides, it's very cold. It would be nice if I could go home early and curl up on the kang after dinner."

Chi Kunli did not miss the scene of Liu Mei coming to the workshop intentionally or unintentionally these days.

"Oh, there will definitely be drinking at this kind of occasion. You have to go. Take good care of your man when you go, and don't let someone with ulterior motives take advantage of you."

The words "well-intentioned person" struck Xiang Baiwei's heart.

Her words reminded Xiang Baiwei of this party in her previous life.

Xiang Baiwei did not go to that party, and as Chi Kunli said, a group of teachers drank a lot of alcohol at the party.

Liu Mei got drunk at the party, and Jiang Sui sent her back home.

The most coincidental thing was that on the way back, I was seen by the biggest mouth in the village.

I don’t know what the scene was like at that time.

Anyway, in just one morning the next day, the rumor that Jiang Sui and Liu Mei had an ambiguous relationship spread throughout the village.

Xiang Baiwei had originally minded Jiang Sui sending Liu Mei home. Now, after being ridiculed by several peers in the village with whom she did not have a good relationship, she completely lost her mind and had a big fight with Jiang Sui again.

When the two of them closed the door and were arguing in the yard, Xiang Baiwei didn't hold back her voice and was heard clearly by a passerby who was curious.

After that, Xiang Baiwei and Jiang Sui had a unhappy new year.

Whenever their relationship was about to improve, Liu Mei would always jump out to show her presence, disrupting the rationality that Bai Wei had finally regained.

The past is too painful to recall.

Xiang Baiwei woke up from her memories, looked at Jiang Sui who had come back, and nodded in agreement: "Tonight? When I finish the work at hand, I will go to school to find you, and then I will make dumplings with you."

Then, Xiang Baiwei turned to invite Chi Kunli: "Come with me? This way I can have more familiar people."

"I won't go. I have work to do at home," Chi Kunli refused her with a smile, and reminded her meaningfully, "You go with your own brain, be smart."

Xiang Baiwei was afraid that what she said would make Jiang Sui suspicious, so she patted her hand gently and said, "Okay, let's get back to work."

So in the evening, when a group of teachers raised their flour-stained hands to greet Bai Wei, Liu Mei, who was behind the crowd, clenched her teeth in hatred.

She never thought that Xiang Baiwei would come.

Zhang Wangming, who had seen everything, sneered in his heart. While he was stirring the stuffing, he lowered his voice and said a few words: "You feel bad, right? He has a decent wife."

"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

Liu Mei glanced at him, then lowered her head and continued to work on her own things.

Xiang Baiwei looked at Liu Mei who was rolling dough in the distance. For some reason, she approached her and said hello, "Teacher Liu, are you tired? If you are, let me take over."

"Okay, I just want to take a break."

Liu Mei was happy to have some free time, so she immediately threw the work to Xiang Baiwei, "This dough must be rolled into a rounder shape, so that it will look better when wrapped."
