Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 411 - 3: Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law (Part 3)

Chapter 411: Chapter 3: Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law (Part 3)

Zhang Mingyang was exceedingly busy outside, and Li Shujiao was feeling very frustrated.

Li Shuning at home would direct Li Shujiao to do things.

If Li Shujiao refused, Li Shuning would look at her coldly, making her feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, Li Shuning said, as sisters, when the older sister is ill, shouldn’t the younger sister take care of her?

No choice, when you’re under someone else’s roof, you can’t but bow your head, clean, cook; Li Shujiao had to do it.

Within a few days, Li Shujiao started to look weary.

Zhang Mingyang returned home then, almost let out a yell of surprise.

Originally, Li Shujiao was like a blooming flower, bright and vibrant, but now she seemed as if the flower had withered.

"Wife, what’s going on? What’s happened to Jiaojiao?"

Zhang Mingyang was so shocked that he carelessly let out the nickname in his heart.

Fortunately, it seemed neither of the two in the room paid attention to this nickname.

Li Shuning, however, spoke sadly: "It’s my fault, my health is poor, Xiaojiao takes care of me, has to cook and clean, she’s worn out."

Zhang Mingyang opened his mouth, unsure of what to say, suggesting she’s a guest and shouldn’t be so tired? But his own wife was ill.

Plus, normally, Li Shuning managed the home, always kept it tidy and bright, yet now, it appeared a bit chaotic.

Thinking about this, Zhang Mingyang started to think maybe Li Shujiao was being delicate.

Isn’t it just doing some housework?

Only focusing on jealousy isn’t good, he really needed Li Shuning now.

With this thought, Zhang Mingyang said to Li Shujiao: "Jiaojiao, tough it out, your sister’s health is poor, shouldn’t be too fatigued, when she recovers, I’ll take you on a proper outing."

Zhang Mingyang especially emphasized the word ’outing’.

Li Shujiao naturally understood.

Although still harboring some resentment inside, she had to suppress it now.

She knew well that after refusing marriage, offending that family, she couldn’t return to Du City.

Moreover, she knew the future status of the man before her, only by clinging to him would she have opportunities, and snatching her sister’s husband, isn’t that thrilling?

In her past life, she was always pampered, although that man failed in life, he treated her well, she never did house chores, thinking of this made her feel blocked inside.

By noon, Zhang Mingyang tried the meal Li Shujiao prepared and couldn’t help but sigh internally; indeed, Jiaojiao was suited to doing things they enjoyed together, housework was more Shuning’s skill.

"Wife, is your health better? While you were away these days, work was busy, everything seems a bit out of sorts, you see..."

Li Shuning glanced at Zhang Mingyang, her eyes a bit helpless: "Mingyang, you know it, previously when carrying our second baby, because I had to help you calm the villagers, I miscarried, since then my health hasn’t been good, this time catching a cold, when I fainted, I thought a lot, Mingyang, we’ve been married so many years, we even left the children in Du City with my parents."

At this, Li Shuning choked up: "Mingyang, I feel guilty for the children, and these days, something feels wrong with my health, every time I stand up for a short while, I feel dizzy, I want to go back to Du City for a check-up, it would be a chance to see the children too."

Zhang Mingyang didn’t expect Li Shuning to say this, his heart panicked.

For so many years, he understood how Li Shuning felt, she obviously remembered the disdain from her family towards him, thus tried everything to help elevate his standing.

How did she change now?

Could it be that Li Shuning’s health really has problems?

If Li Shuning left, what would he do, with the rain lately, remote areas had mudslides, if it continued, Jian City might face a flood disaster, without Li Shuning, would he have to run around the front? No, impossible, too dangerous, a few days ago at the hydropower station, seeing the reservoir so full, he felt dizzy, fearing a fatal fall.

"Wife, but I really need you, if you leave, I’ll miss you too, besides things are so busy now."

"Mingyang, I know what you think, but you are standing taller now, if I keep working by your side, it might provoke thoughts from some people, I’ve already submitted my resignation, Mayor Lin saw my medical report, feeling sorry for me, suggested I return to Du City for treatment and rest."

Zhang Mingyang felt his mind would explode; Li Shuning had been acting unusual these past few days, she knew well he competed with Mayor Lin yet still went to him, damn it.

If Mayor Lin knew he lost Li Shuning as a support, he might target him more fiercely.

"Shuning, you know well about Mayor Lin..."

"Mingyang, I know what you want to say, but about my resignation and going to Du City for treatment, it’s impossible for it to relate to Mayor Lin, Jian City’s medical environment is poor, if there’s avoidance and hiding, it gives others opportunities, rather to lay it out openly."

"Mingyang, rest assured, everything’s arranged, you have help on your side too, don’t worry too much, plus sister will stay here, she was smart since young, for anything, you can discuss with her."

Indeed, Li Shujiao was somewhat clever.

However, whether this cleverness would fare in the political arena was unpredictable.

Hearing this made Zhang Mingyang’s feelings surge, entertained thoughts, with Li Shuning gone, he’d be alone with his sister-in-law, certainly tempting.

Li Shujiao also gave a charming glance at Zhang Mingyang, stirring his heart.

Li Shuning watched their interaction in silence, ridiculing how naive the original soul was, their expressions and actions were so obvious, yet she remained oblivious for years.

Li Shuning acted quickly, packed up by the next day, bought a ticket, and went straight back to Du City.

When Zhang Mingyang received the news, Li Shuning had already left.

He felt something was off, but returning home, with a soft figure leaning into him, all thoughts dissipated.

Li Shujiao felt delighted; in her past life, everyone praised Li Shuning, saying that Zhang Mingyang’s success was because of her, now Li Shuning was back in Du City, she stayed, her chance arrived.

Although in the past she didn’t hear of Li Shuning’s health being such an issue, infertility after miscarriage was real, perhaps there was damage.

The sister has handed the brother-in-law right to her mouth, how could she not take it?

PS: The scumbag man’s name changed, not a mistake, all changes are made earlier too.
