Chapter 5 Painful urination leads to triplets? Dream on!
Ling Huanwu froze, as memories of the first few nights after her wedding in her previous life suddenly flooded back.
She asked Zhou Shuyao to accompany her to the toilet, only to be met with the remark, "Capitalist ladies are just pretentious."
Now he's suddenly become very attentive.
"No need," Ling Huanwu said, a cold glint in her eyes. "You should hurry back to your wife. If you can't find her later, she'll probably start crying and blaming me for seducing you."
She was genuinely afraid that Song Yaoyao, that reborn madwoman, would burst out and bark wildly.
She didn't have a chance to tear him apart enough in her previous life, and if she gets entangled with him again in this life, she might just drag him to the septic tank again.
Zhou Shuyao smiled shyly, with a touch of foolish smugness: "Yaoyao, she's already fainted!"
Ling Huanwu's lips twitched, and she was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground. She said, "Congratulations," and without looking back, she plunged into the squat toilet behind the house, shutting out the cloying atmosphere.
I didn't sleep a wink all night.
Ling Huanwu has been studying the "space" that suddenly appeared in her body.
With a thought, a small, palm-sized compartment appeared before him, inside which lay the lone, dead human infant that had fallen earlier.
Ling Huanwu tried it twice and confirmed that the grid-like space could store things, but it was pitifully small.
It couldn't even fit a corner of her several boxes of dowry.
In her previous life, because of the rugged mountain roads, she couldn't get the dowry her parents gave her. Later, she only took a few antiques from her family to Hong Kong and made do with Zhou Shuyao and his three children.
With this new life's spatial ability, if I can save up my dowry, I can build a business based on my family's wealth and achieve even greater success than in my previous life.
But this space… Ling Huanwu glanced at the sleeping man beside her.
Rumor has it that awakening one's spatial abilities requires a "trigger." Could it be that Zhou Jiuzhen, who triggered her spatial abilities, is the key to expanding them?
She stared at the man's lean waist, her fingertips itching to make a move.
I really wanted to wake him up and ask him if he could help me "loosen the soil".
"Commander Zhou?" she called tentatively in a soft voice.
"Um?"
The man's low, husky voice suddenly rang out, startling Ling Huanwu so much that she pulled her hand back.
"Aren't you... not asleep?" she asked, her ears burning as she faced his back.
She was tossing and turning on him just now, could he have known everything?
"Soldiers are always vigilant when they sleep."
Zhou Jiuzhen's voice was flat, "What is it?"
Just as Ling Huanwu was about to speak, a loud rooster crowed outside.
"It's almost dawn, I have to go to the commune." Zhou Jiuzhen almost instantly rolled out of bed, grabbed his clothes and rushed out, his back view so swift it looked like he was being chased by wolves.
She's like some kind of monster.
Ling Huanwu pursed her lips, glanced at the clock on the wall, and saw it was four o'clock.
She went out with dark circles under her eyes, and her mother-in-law was already waiting in the main room with a steaming bowl of noodles. As soon as she came out, she greeted her, "Eldest daughter-in-law, eat quickly. You need to eat well to have the energy to work."
The familiar words warmed Ling Huanwu's heart.
In her previous life, her mother-in-law treated her better than her own mother. Unfortunately, she went to the island with Zhou Jiuzhen, and after his sacrifice, her mother-in-law followed him there the next day.
In this life, she is determined to protect her mother-in-law and ensure she enjoys her later years in peace.
Just as I pulled my mother-in-law to sit down, a cry of "Ouch!" came from the doorway.
Song Yaoyao, supporting her back, limped in. Her eyes swept over Ling Huanwu, and she immediately clung to her, her voice sickeningly sweet: "Sister, you have such dark circles under your eyes, did you not sleep well last night?"
She deliberately puffed out her chest, her boastful tone barely concealed: "I slept like a log. I fainted several times in the middle of the night, and now my whole body feels so soft."
The mother-in-law didn't catch the underlying meaning and actually frowned: "Eldest daughter-in-law, is the bed uncomfortable?"
"It's alright, Mom." Ling Huanwu patted her mother-in-law's hand reassuringly. When she looked up, a cold smile appeared on her lips. She directly showed the cut on her lip to Song Yaoyao. "I guess I accidentally bumped into it last night. This cut hurt so much that I kept my eyes open until dawn."
Song Yaoyao's face turned pale instantly.
The wound was clearly caused by someone biting him!
In her previous life, Zhou Jiuzhen was like a wooden stake on her wedding night. He was wrapped up tightly in the sweltering heat, saying that "the public toilet is not finished yet, and I need to save my strength." He didn't even touch her!
How could a man with discipline ingrained in his very bones possibly be interested in Ling Huanwu...?
"No, impossible..." Song Yaoyao's fingertips gripped the edge of the table so tightly that her nails almost dug in.
Ling Huanwu ignored her, finished her noodles, and got up.
Just as he reached the door, Song Yaoyao grabbed him and dragged him to a secluded corner of the yard.
"Sister, stop pretending!" Song Yaoyao lowered her voice, her eyes filled with undisguised jealousy. "With Zhou Jiuzhen's personality, would he ever treat you well? The injury on your lip was definitely inflicted by him! Going with him to the army will only bring you more suffering!"
She paused, then smiled as if bestowing a favor, "Why don't you stay in the countryside and help me take care of the kids and earn work points? When my son Shuyao becomes successful, you'll definitely get a share. Look, last night Shuyao and I... we might already have triplets."
As Ling Huanwu looked at her face, which was covered in spittle, the last bit of warmth in her eyes turned cold.
The ugly faces that weren't torn apart enough in the previous life are now being delivered to my door in this one.
Without a word, she turned around, grabbed the bucket of urine that hadn't been emptied from the corner, and flicked her wrist—
"Splash!"
The foul-smelling urine poured over Song Yaoyao's head.
Song Yaoyao screamed and jumped up, her hair covered in the smell of urine, looking like a drowned rat, frozen in place.
Ling Huanwu shook the water droplets off her hands, her voice as calm as if she were talking about the weather: "Triplets? Think carefully about whether you're even lucky enough to have them!"
"Also, if you dare to mess with me again, it won't be as simple as just using a chamber pot."
She glanced at Song Yaoyao's pale face, turned and left, leaving behind her furious screams, without even frowning.
To my surprise, when I turned around and went back to the front of the house, I bumped into a hard chest.
Ling Huanwu touched her nose and looked up, but when she saw Zhou Jiuzhen's cold, hard, and inscrutable face, her heart pounded.
Did he see her fierce appearance just now?
That would greatly diminish her impression on him, so how could he use her to test and expand his horizons in the future?
Ling Huanwu forced an awkward smile, waving her arms back and forth as if doing exercises. "I came out to do my exercises. Didn't Comrade Zhou go out? Why is he back?"
Zhou Jiuzhen picked up the empty chamber pot from the floor and said seriously, "I forgot to empty the chamber pot. I didn't expect Comrade Ling to be so diligent as to empty it for me!"
"Hmm... Hahaha..."
Ling Huanwu's smile was stiff. Just as she was about to urge him to leave, she turned around and saw Song Yaoyao walking out from behind the wall, reeking of urine.
