"Manman, my Jiangang still calls you Sister Manman, you can't bully him."

Aunt Yang grabbed Shen Man's hand and pleaded hurriedly.

Shen Man lowered her eyes and looked at her for a moment, then pulled her hand back from hers.

"Auntie, since you don't want to be my mother-in-law, then don't introduce these messy people to me, and don't say anything in front of my mother."

"Otherwise, I really don't mind being a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with you."

After saying this, she turned around and was about to leave. When she looked up, she saw a young man standing in front of her. He looked over at her and said, "Mom, Sister Manman."

Aunt Yang's face changed drastically, and she quickly ran over to block the two of them, and said with a smile, "Nothing, nothing, Jiangang, go into the house first, I have something to talk to your sister Manman."

She only has this one son, and she has worked so hard to raise him, so she can't let Shen Man waste him.

Yang Jiangang ignored his mother and fixed his gaze on Shen Man's face, his tone pausing.

"Sister Manman, I heard that you are divorced. Would you like to consider me? My conditions are not worse than those my mother introduced to you, and may even be better than them."

"My mother has already prepared a house for me. If you marry me, we can live separately. If you don't want to take care of the child in the future, my mother can help take care of it."

Shen Man was stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect that this boy would have such thoughts about her.

No wonder before she got married, he repeatedly spoke ill of Lu Guo in front of her, and even followed her around, calling her his elder sister.

She was just about to open up and explain things to him.

Aunt Yang grabbed her and begged in her ear, "Manman, please, let Jiangang go. He is two years younger than you and usually calls you sister. How can you bear to harm him?"

"As long as you reject him, I will never interfere in your affairs again..."

Yang Jiangang frowned slightly, "Mom, what are you doing?"

He went up to pull them apart, but Shen Man suddenly said, "Jiangang, what I just said was a joke to my aunt. Don't take it to heart. Don't say it again in the future. I don't like people younger than me."

After saying this, she quickly left with the help of Aunt Yang.

Behind him, Yang Jiangang wanted to catch up, but unfortunately he was stopped by his mother again.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Shen Man finally ran back to where she lived.

Just as she was about to leave the yard, a familiar man appeared in front of her again.

"Why are you here?"

Shen Man didn't understand. They were already divorced and the matter was so clear, why did he come to find her at this time?

And today he even ran to the alley of the house she rented.

Isn't Bai going on various blind dates? Why does he still have the energy to come here to find her?

Lu Guoguo walked up to Shen Man and looked at her. "I haven't been on blind dates with other girls. These girls were forced to meet by my parents, but I haven't met them."

Shen Man didn't even look at him, and walked around him and was about to leave, "It doesn't matter whether you like blind dates or not, Lu Guo, we are divorced."

"Please stop interfering with my life."

Lu Guo pursed his lips, and finally said nothing. He stood there and watched her leave.

It turned out that she really didn't care about him anymore. Even though there were rumors about him going on blind dates with other girls, she remained indifferent.

On autumn nights, the wind seems to be blowing colder.

…

Shen Man had just returned to the room and turned on the light when there was a knock on the door.

She thought it was Gu Xiaobei, because the child would occasionally come over and sleep with her.

But when the door opened, it was Wang Guilan, the younger sister of Guihua's wife who lived next door. She was holding a basket with some needles, thread and cloth in it.

"Sister Shen, I saw you were back, so I came over to chat with you and do some needlework."

"You don't mind me bothering you, do you?"

As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles. Now that she's here, Shen Man can't chase him away, and she wants to see what the meaning of this hit is.

So he stepped aside to let Wang Guilan in, "Sister-in-law, it's okay, come in and sit down."

"I'm glad I didn't disturb you. Actually, I came here so late at night because I had something to ask you."

Shen Man took out a stool for her to sit on, "Sister-in-law, tell me what's going on."

She didn't expect this, and actually stated her purpose right away.

Wang Guilan pursed her lips and smiled shyly, her face slightly flushed, "Sister Shen, are you familiar with the man named Gu who lives across from you? I want to make a pair of shoes for him, what do you think?"

"Look, I've prepared the fabric for the shoes and sewn the insoles. This size is suitable for him to wear. Sister Shen, can you help me take a look at it? If it's good, I'll make two more pairs for him."

There was nothing Shen Man didn't understand. It was obvious that she had taken a fancy to Gu Qinglin. She came to her to inquire about the situation and to announce her obvious intentions.

No wonder these kids always try to get close to the house opposite, but every time they are seen through by Aunt Yu and stopped.

She has lived in this courtyard for several years, but she probably has never spoken a word to Gu Qinglin.

Thinking of this, Shen Man lowered her eyes and looked at the shoes made by Wang Guilan. She picked it up and looked at it carefully. "Sister-in-law, your craftsmanship is really good. It's almost the same as the ones bought in the supply and marketing cooperative."

Wang Guilan secretly observed Shen Man's expression, and seeing that she did not change at all, she felt a little relieved.

It seems that there is nothing special about Gu Qinglin.

If she argued with her, it would be a big trouble considering her charming face.

"Okay, I'll show it to him tomorrow."

Wang Guilan changed the subject and asked the question as if casually.

"But I see you're pretty close to Brother Gu, and Xiaobei even calls you aunt. What's your relationship with him?"

Shen Man raised her eyebrows. "It doesn't matter. His parents know my parents, so Xiaobei calls me aunt."

Wang Guilan was stunned for a moment. One was from Beijing, and the other was from a small county town. It was not easy for their parents to know each other.

She continued to ask, "Then do you know what Brother Gu's family does?"

Shen Man nodded, "Of course I know, but he won't let me tell you. If you want to know, just ask him tomorrow when he sends you the shoes."

"It's getting late now, sister-in-law, you should go back and rest. I'm going to sleep."

She already knew what he was thinking, so there was no need to waste time with her.

Wang Guilan received the news that satisfied her. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back first. Sorry to bother you with your rest tonight. When Brother Gu and I are together, I'll be the first to tell you."
