Chapter 5 Qiu Manman heard the tea talk: Don't cue

Si Zhuo's voice was cold and gloomy.

Qiu Manman's bright face was smiling and her clear eyes were innocent. "Honey, are you back from get off work?"

[Look, the philandering man is back. ]

Si Zhuo: I heard it.

Si Zhuo: "Did anyone call from the old house?"

Qiu Manman blinked and said, "What wind blew these words into your ears?"

【A man who doesn't love himself is like rotten cabbage. 】

Si Zhuo took a deep breath, sat on the sofa and rubbed his temples tiredly.

"I'll go with you."

Qiu Manman: "Not very good."

[Because I want to cause trouble, I'm afraid that you'll see me and ruin my image, which I can't do.]

Si Zhuo turned around in surprise, considering whether what she had just said was true or false.

Making trouble at the old house?

How dare she do that with her rabbit-like courage?

She just didn't want him to discover her betrayal.

Si Zhuo's eyebrows were drawn down and his face was tense.

Qiu Manman simply sat beside him, clenched her fist and patted his shoulders, saying sympathetically:

"Hubby, you're so tired after work. What if you go to the old house and get into a conflict with the old lady?"

"I'm counting on you to manage the company well and lead me to a good life in the future."

[I think it is unreasonable that Si Zhuo did not die suddenly in the company.]

Si Zhuo grabbed her wrist and laughed angrily, "You mean to say that I have no brains?"

He will rest when he is tired from work!

Sudden death in the company?

Thinking too much.

Qiu Manman said bluntly, "I'm afraid you'll hold me back."

Si Zhuo: “???”

Qiu Manman tried to think twice before acting. "I was in a good mood, but the old house is still looking for trouble with me. I'm in a bad mood now, so I might as well spread my bad mood to everyone."

Abbreviation: If you don’t want me to have an easy life, then no one else will have an easy life!

The old house is causing trouble for her.

She wants to fight back.

Si Zhuo calmly withdrew his gaze and spoke after a while, "You go."

Qiu Manman stood up and called towards the kitchen, "Xiao Shi, is the preserves ready?"

Si Zhuo turned around and saw Xiao Shi tearing open the package and pouring the preserved fruit into the exquisite food box.

I saw autumn spreading a handful of salt again.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha, if anyone doesn't finish eating, don't blame me for forcing you to eat."

Qiu Manman is now smiling like a villain.

Si Zhuo: ...

She has changed.

——

Picking up the candied fruit, Qiu Manman got on the car heading to the old house.

Si Zhuo didn't like the atmosphere of the old house, so he bought the so-called wedding house far away from the old house.

One is in the north and the other is in the south.

Every time I rush to the old house, it takes at least an hour and a half.

As night falls, the neon lights on the roadside outside the car window light up along the street, making the entire city's streetscape bright and magnificent.

The old house of the Si family has an antique garden design with mountains, water and pavilions.

Qiu Manman walked in carrying a lunch box, wearing a sky-blue long skirt. She blended into the scenery with the surrounding mountains and rivers. Her black hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin, and her temperament was graceful.

"Wow."

"I haven't seen you for a few days. You look beautiful again."

"Auntie, you are so delicious. I want to kiss you."

"elder sister!"

Qiu Manman has a very good relationship with the people in the old house, but some of her peers do not accept her advances because of Si Chan.

But the kids all like her.

As soon as she arrived, the children rushed to gather around her.

Qiu Manman gave them candies one by one.

"Okay, kids, go play."

After hearing this, the children scattered again.

Si Chao, who was only an eight-year-old boy, did not leave. He tilted his head proudly and asked, "Who are your children?"

Qiu Manman squatted down, stretched out her hand eagerly, and touched Sichao's adorable baby fat.

It would be a bit unreasonable not to try it.

Qiu Manman pinched a handful and gave another candy, "Hey, little brat, I'll give you one more. Don't tell anyone else."

Si Chao's ears felt hot, and he stammered, "I'm a man, you are not allowed to touch my face in the future."

"Just touch it."

Si Chao ran away shyly.

Under the pavilion, a mature woman with a dim look in her eyes said, "Si Chao has always been rebellious. He has never been nice to his elders. Why is he so kind to Qiu Manman?"

Si Shuyue is the second daughter of Si Tianshi, the second wife of the second family, and she has an eight-year-old son, Si Chao.

Si Chan beside him was even worse and felt uncomfortable.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the red marks on his arm.

It is Si Chao's masterpiece.

Si Chan quickly calmed down and smiled, "Manman comes from a small family. I guess it's a habit she developed since she was young. She's more observant of others' words and expressions."

"Sister, you were not born to serve others."

The hidden meaning of this sentence is to implicitly criticize Qiu Manman for serving others all her life, which is why she can make Si Chao run around in circles.

Si Shuyue nodded calmly.

Si Chan held her arm and said, "It's okay, sister. In a few years, when Si Chao grows up and becomes sensible, he will be close to you."

Si Shuyue did not comment.

I had already discovered them, and vaguely heard some gossiping from Qiu Manman: Don't cue.

The two returned to the main hall.

Qiu Manman was already taking out the preserved food from the lunch box.

Si Chan walked over without thinking, picked up a piece and prepared to eat.

Qiu Manman slapped her hand away and said, "You have no manners. You were brought up by the Si family. It's ok for you to mock people behind their backs, but why don't you even call me sister-in-law when you see me?"

Si Chan: “…”

She never called me sister-in-law!

Qiu Manman used to allow her not to scream.

You said this in front of so many guests?

What do you mean?

She doesn't want to live anymore!

Si Chan smiled awkwardly and retracted her hand holding the preserved fruit. "Sister Manman, you allowed me not to call you sister-in-law before. We have always been as close as sisters. Why should I call you sister-in-law? Sister-in-law is not as close as my sister."

"I like hearing you call me sister-in-law."

Qiu Manman's smile never faded.

Si Chan pursed her lips.

Qiu Manman handed her a piece of preserved fruit and said, "Okay, since my sister-in-law doesn't want to be called my sister-in-law, I guess she doesn't recognize me as her sister-in-law. I don't know who is the sister-in-law in her mind."

"Sister-in-law." Si Chan took the candied fruit and said coldly, "That's enough."

"Pooh--"

“So salty!”

"Qiu Manman, are you doing this on purpose?!" Old Mrs. Si picked up the candied fruit with great anticipation and bit off half of it in one bite. However, it was so salty in her mouth that her stomach churned.

Qiu Manman looked confused, "What's wrong?"

"Try it yourself!" Old Mrs. Si said unhappily.

Si Chan also tried to eat it, but when she tasted the salty taste, she turned her head and spit it out, "Sister Manman, if you don't want to make preserved fruits, don't do it in the future."

Old Madam Si snorted, "This is her only advantage. If she doesn't even make preserved fruits anymore, I don't know what else she can do."

Qiu Manman: "It's not salty at all, Si Chan, try this."

She took a candied fruit, forced open Si Chan's mouth and stuffed it into her mouth, forcing her to swallow it.

When Si Chan thought about it, her mouth was filled with bitterness.

She went to get some water with a sour face.

Qiu Manman walked towards Old Lady Si again and showed the preserved fruit in her hand like a treasure. "Grandma, this is the sweetest. I'll feed it to you."
