Shen Man glanced at Zhang Fengxia and nodded, "I just woke up. Mom, sister-in-law, it's too good to gossip about others behind their backs. You should be more careful next time."

"I don't mind. I'm used to it after I got married. I'm fine with you guys gossiping about me."

"But this bad habit of yours is not good. If the person in question hears you gossiping about others, he or she will not be as good-tempered as I am."

Having said these few words, she bypassed the two of them and went to the kitchen to boil water and wash up.

Zhang Fengxia looked at Shen Man's back as she walked into the kitchen, and her face instantly turned ugly.

"Mom, as a mother-in-law, you should take good care of her. Look at the way she walks into the kitchen. Her little waist and butt are wiggling all over the place. She doesn't look serious at all."

"Whose good wife is like her? No wonder so many men have been staring at her all these years when Zheng Guo was not back."

"Especially since she was beating around the bush just now and scolding both of us."

Mother Lu sighed, waved her hand, turned around and went into the kitchen.

If she had this ability, would she have let Shen Man in at the beginning?

But she knew her son well, and what he liked most was this kind of delicate and charming woman.

If Shen Man continues to make trouble like this, it will be sooner or later for them to get divorced.

Use 놊 to let her intervene.

After Lu's mother entered the kitchen, Shen Man had just finished washing up and went into the kitchen to cook.

From the first day she married into the Lu family, all the chores in the household were taken turns by the women in the family.

It was her turn today, so of course she would get up so early.

After making breakfast for the whole family, I have to go to work quickly, eat in the factory cafeteria at noon, and rush back to cook in the evening.

Shen Man looked at the ingredients at home and finally decided to cook a pot of porridge and add a plate of pickled vegetables.

The salted vegetables were ready, and cooking the porridge took quite some time.

Normally, the Lu family’s breakfast is basically porridge with pickled vegetables, or cornmeal dough with pickled vegetables.

Mother Lu came in and saw Shen Man cooking porridge. She thought of what happened last night and the fierce temper of her daughter-in-law.

She spoke carefully, "Manman, what happened last night was a misunderstanding by mom, don't take it to heart. Your sister-in-law has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, so don't take it too seriously with her."

"Hongmei has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and now she is about to go to the countryside. Now she knows she was wrong. Please forgive her this time."

Shen Man also raised her head and lowered her head to stir the porridge in the pot, "Mom, look at what you said, you want them to apologize to me, who am I to be reasonable and forgiving?"

"You don't have to come here to intercede for them."

Mother Lu smiled teasingly and said nothing more.

If they had come over, she wouldn't have to come and suffer this.

Seeing Shen Man coming in with oil and salt, Mother Lu went straight out of the kitchen.

Soon, the porridge was cooked and the salted vegetables were served.

People from the Lu family came to the table one after another. Except for Lu Zhengguo who went out early in the morning, everyone else was there.

After being busy for a while, Shen Man was finally able to sit down and eat. After eating, she had to rush to work early.

"Why is my second brother not here?" Lu Hongmei held the bowl and glanced at the empty seat.

Mother Lu looked at Shen Man subconsciously, and seeing that she didn't react, she explained, "Zhengguo went out early in the morning. He must have something to do, so we don't need to take care of him."

Zhang Fengxia poked the porridge in the bowl with chopsticks and said, "Sister-in-law, your porridge is too thick."

"The little food we have every month can't sustain such a waste. If this continues, the whole family will starve to death before the end of the month."

After these words were spoken, everyone in the Lu family paused and looked down at the porridge in their bowls.

It's really thick, probably because a little rice was added.

It was at this time that Lu's mother discovered the problem and just tried to plead with Shen Man.

She was so distressed that she couldn't help but speak.

"Second brother's wife, you were also hungry a few years ago, how come you know how to save food?"

"The rice you used today is enough for two meals at home."

Many people died of hunger at that time, and bloated corpses of hungry people could be seen on the streets at any time.

She almost died of hunger.

Even though the situation has improved in recent years, the food intake each month still needs to be calculated, otherwise the whole family will go hungry at the end of the month.

Shen Man nodded, lowered her head and continued to drink her porridge, "Well, I'll pay attention next time."

She came here yesterday and cooked for the first time today. She didn't control the amount of food well. This is indeed her problem.

Seeing this, Mother Lu wanted to say something else, but looking at the thick white porridge in the bowl, she still ate it out of heartache.

Father Lu sighed and said, "The rice has already been cooked. The situation cannot be reversed. Let's have a good meal."

Lu Hongmei ate happily, because the food went into her own stomach anyway, so if she ate more now, she would earn more.

Zhang Fengxia thought so too, and quickly poured half a spoonful of porridge into the bowls of her two children.

After dinner, Shen Man cleaned the kitchen, put on her blue factory uniform and went out to work.

Currently, everyone in the Lu family except Lu Hongmei and Lu's mother has a job.

Originally, Lu's mother also worked in a nearby clothing factory, but one of Zhang Fengxia's requirements when she married into the family was for the Lu family to find her a job.

Lu Zhengbing wanted to marry Zhang Fengxia, so Lu's mother wanted to give her her job.

Lu Zhengbing works as a temporary worker in a machinery factory, earning more than two yuan a month.

Mr. Lu was also a regular worker at the machinery factory, earning more than three yuan a month.

After leaving Lu's house, Shen Man walked towards the textile factory along the familiar street.

The textile factory where she currently works usually takes about half an hour to walk to.

I just left not long ago.

A familiar male voice came from behind, "Shen Man..."

Shen Man was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously turned around to look.

A gentle and handsome man came towards her on a two-wheeled bicycle.

It was Qi Yuan, the man she called her sister-in-law "adulterer" when she first came through yesterday.

He is also a childhood friend of Lu Zhengguo and the male protagonist Gu Yang.

The original owner grew up with Gu Yang, so naturally he knew Qi Yuan and Lu Zhengguo.

It was because she took a liking to these two people at that time and felt that they had no potential, so she did not have much contact with them.

놙 didn't expect that after growing up, the original owner fell in love with Lu Zhengguo and treated Gu Yang coldly.

Qi Yuan rode over on his bicycle and stopped beside Shen Man.

He got out of the car and pushed it in front of her.

"You still have a long way to go to work, so you should ride faster."

Shen Man raised her eyes and looked at him, "What about you?"

She remembered that the machinery factory where Qi Yuan worked was almost as far away from the textile factory where she worked.

Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's still time. I can walk."

"Thank you. It's useless now. I can leave by myself." Shen Man shook her head, turned around and walked forward.

Behind him, Qi Yuan quickly caught up, "Shen Man, do you want to consider me?"

Although yesterday morning... nothing happened between the two of them.

Shen Man stopped walking and said, "There's something I forgot to tell you. Lu Zhengguo is back. I don't plan to get a divorce now."

Having said that, she was about to leave.

Far ahead, Lu Zhengguo was riding a brand new bicycle and was looking over here.
