Chapter 800 - 796: Unable to Conceive

Sun Yeshu didn’t look particularly happy at the mention of her pregnancy.

"It’s alright, I guess! Wen Wan, you’ve been married for a while now. Haven’t you thought about having a child?"

Xu Wenwan shook her head. "My father-in-law said he’d try to find me a job in the County Town. I plan to work for a while before thinking about kids."

Hearing this, Sun Yeshu couldn’t help but feel a surge of jealousy. For her, finding a job in the County Town for Leng Qingtian was as hard as reaching the stars, yet Xu Wenwan could make it happen with just a casual remark. No wonder Xu Wenwan had looked down on Yun Hao and married An Dongyang instead. With such a solid family background, getting a job was a walk in the park.

Forcing down her envy, Sun Yeshu couldn’t resist asking a few more questions. Xu Wenwan was more than happy to show off and told her everything. When Sun Yeshu learned that Xu Wenwan’s father-in-law was a top official in the County Town, she felt terrible. She was torn between jealousy, resentment, and a scheming desire to figure out how she could profit from this connection.

Seeing her fall silent, Xu Wenwan felt a rush of satisfaction. After transmigrating into this book, she should have been completely in her element, living a life everyone envied. Instead, not a single day had gone her way. Now, looking at the shock, jealousy, and bitter reluctance in Sun Yeshu’s eyes—and how she still had to force a smile and curry favor—Xu Wenwan felt that all her efforts had finally paid off.

This was the exact expression everyone in the Qingshan Team should have when they looked at her. Especially the Xu Family. Even now, the Xu Family probably had no idea how incredible the man she married was, or how powerful his background truly was. She eagerly awaited the day they would be struck with shock and regret.

Xu Wenwan smugly fantasized about the future she was destined to experience, but then realized her thoughts had drifted too far. Right now, her priority was finding a way to completely ruin Gu Jiaojiao’s reputation. Her gaze landed on Sun Yeshu, clearly taking in the jealousy and resentment written all over the other woman’s face. She didn’t mind Sun Yeshu having her own little schemes at all. In fact, it only made her easier to use.

"Ye Shu, how has Gu Jiaojiao’s life been in the Qingshan Team?"

Sun Yeshu had just finished seething over Xu Wenwan, and thinking about Gu Jiaojiao’s life in the Qingshan Team only made her grind her teeth. "She’s living it up!"

The more she thought about it, the more resentful she became. How was it that the two people she envied most were doing better than ever? Xu Wenwan had married well and was now living in such a beautiful house. Gu Jiaojiao was the same. She kept inventing machines one after another, and the team captain and village chief practically worshipped the ground she walked on. She wanted to grind her teeth to dust. Why didn’t she, Sun Yeshu, have such good luck?

Xu Wenwan’s eyes flickered, and she sighed. "What’s the point of living it up? Once a woman can’t have children, her life is bound to be miserable eventually."

Sun Yeshu’s heart skipped a beat. That was right! If everyone knew Gu Jiaojiao couldn’t have children, would she still be living such a carefree life? Who would care about a hen that couldn’t lay eggs? The more Sun Yeshu thought about it, the more excited she got. Her gaze inadvertently landed on Xu Wenwan, and her expression suddenly hardened.

"Wen Wan, saying all this... you’re not trying to get me to deliberately go after Gu Jiaojiao, are you? She’s so powerful now. I can’t afford to provoke her."

Xu Wenwan replied nonchalantly, "How powerful could she be? She’s just throwing her weight around because her man has some muscle.

"Besides, I never told you to go after Gu Jiaojiao. You’re wronging me by saying that.

"When it comes down to it, I’ve married into the County Town and won’t be returning to the Qingshan Team. I haven’t even met Gu Jiaojiao, so why would I want to go after her?"

Sun Yeshu cast a suspicious look at Xu Wenwan.
