Chapter 1267: Chapter 1294: Finally Reunited 5

"Puchi..."

Not far away, a few "sisters-in-law" who were curious about Nianyang sneaked over to peek and let out a few giggles.

"Did you see that? Sister-in-law Mei is trying to mooch off the new sister-in-law again."

"Every time a new sister-in-law arrives at our family quarters, Sister-in-law Mei is sure to take advantage. I couldn’t escape her back then."

"Well, this time she hit a wall. The new sister-in-law is even poorer than she is."

Mei Yanfang, with her thick skin, said stiffly, "Sister-in-law Chu, you’re joking, right? Look at how well-kept you are, fair and neat, and dressed so fashionably. How could you be someone who can’t afford food? Li Ye’s salary isn’t low at all."

Nianyang feigned seriousness and said, "I have many relatives to support, and my husband’s salary isn’t enough. That’s why we’ve come here to escape for some peace."

These days, who doesn’t have some troublesome relatives? Mei Yanfang, who has to care for both the old and young, knew very well and just smiled without saying more.

Nianyang curved her lips, "Sister-in-law Mei, now that you know my situation, why don’t we become good sisters, to help and look out for each other in the future?"

Alarm bells went off in Mei Yanfang’s head. She only wanted to take advantage of others, but dealing with someone even poorer and more troublesome than herself, how could she dare associate, in case she got screwed?

Quickly she shook her head and ran off, "Forget it, forget it, I have many kids at home, no time for dealings, Sister-in-law Chu, you take care of yourself."

Nianyang, "..."

What kind of oddballs are these???

She chuckled to herself, took the luggage back inside. The place wasn’t big, but not small either, filled with furniture and everything you might need, just looked a bit worn out.

Nianyang didn’t mind, since her hidden space had everything, this furniture was just for show.

After a day’s travel, Nianyang was tired. She casually hung her clothes in the wardrobe and then went to sleep on the bed Li Tingyan had made.

Nianyang had slept for more than an hour when Xiao Wu brought dinner and said Li Tingyan couldn’t come back tonight.

Nianyang glanced at the delivered dinner, which was quite meager, just a bowl of porridge and half a bun.

Her face turned complex, "Xiao Wu, is this what you all eat every day?"

Xiao Wu, in his simple manner, said, "Sister-in-law, this is what we eat at the canteen every night, and there’s a bun too. Isn’t that enough?"

Such easily satisfied kid.

Nianyang sighed. She wanted to give him something to eat but realized with only a little luggage, she couldn’t carry much. Randomly taking out food would invite suspicion.

She had no choice but to take it excitedly and saw Xiao Wu off. She then directly went into her hidden space, made herself a cup of maternity milk, ate several meat buns, and then some fruits that were beneficial for baby development, one by one.

Xiao Wu, being a rough man, couldn’t know that normal pregnant women couldn’t get nutrition from just porridge and buns.

After eating and drinking her fill, Nianyang meticulously brushed her teeth to ensure there was no smell of meat before coming out. She had already portrayed herself as poor in front of the sisters-in-law, so she must be even more careful from now on.

Wanting a quiet life here, she could only lay low as much as possible.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Nianyang went to open it, and saw an honest-looking young woman nervously looking at her.

"Hello, I’m the sister-in-law from the family quarters, He Suzhi."

Nianyang welcomed her with a smile, "Hello, Sister-in-law He, I’m Chu Nianyang. Do you need anything?"

Well, I’ve already mentioned what path the story is taking. If you find the plot confusing, it’s because you read from the beginning.

New readers won’t find it confusing, as the Male Lead’s identity is now Sea Merchant not his previous identity, so the background has naturally turned into the island...
