Chapter 524: Chapter 523: Love-Struck at Home 5

In their last life, after the college entrance exams, although Jiang Maochuan and his wife didn’t rush to take the exam like those educated youth, they eventually took it a few years later and even became university professors. Jiang Chen was the first to take the entrance exams and finally got into a pretty good university, transforming into a city person overnight.

Why couldn’t Jiang Maohua achieve that?

If Jiang Maohua had a bit more ability, she wouldn’t have become a jaded housewife in ten years. When she met Gu Lingfei again, standing together, one looked like the mother and the other like the son, and she simply couldn’t face it.

Gu Lingfei later took the child away. At that time, he looked at her with regret and even said that had he known she was pregnant, he should have taken her with him. That time, the family suddenly notified him of going abroad, and he left in a hurry, not expecting to be gone for so many years.

She also knew Gu Lingfei hadn’t married or had kids all these years. What does that mean? It means he still thought of her.

But she was already married, and some things could only be buried in her heart.

Missing it simply meant missing it, and besides, given her appearance at that time, she wouldn’t dare have any thoughts. How did she look standing next to him? She would only be a laughing stock.

She never regretted Gu Lingfei taking the child away; the child would only have a better future with him.

But she hated the Jiang Family. With Gu Lingfei’s return, the truth about the child couldn’t be hidden, and the Jiang Family came back because of it, looking like they were interrogating a criminal, making her incredibly embarrassed. This matter ended inconclusively, but later the couple Jiang Aiguo continuously hinted at her having another child with Jiang Maohua, making her very annoyed.

Is having a child such an easy thing?

When she had the child, it was very hard, and she didn’t want to go through that again.

Besides, she didn’t want to have a child for Jiang Maohua, who was useless. What if the child ended up being as stupid as him?

At that time, the matter of the child had spread, which was originally something hard to hide, and the village was filled with strange looks.

Even if they didn’t say anything in front of her, they were discussing it behind her back, occasionally allowing her to overhear a few things. They all said Jiang Maohua was loyal and capable of tolerating such a matter, and the Jiang Family was righteous; she, Su Man, had good luck.

It was ridiculously funny; what luck did she have?

If she were lucky, she wouldn’t be a farmer in the countryside but should be living the life of a rich lady with Gu Lingfei.

Because of not wanting more children, Jiang Aiguo and his wife were very dissatisfied with her.

Later, even Jiang Maohua wanted a child, causing frequent quarrels between the two.

The village people also sided with the Jiang Family, advising her not to be so unreasonable—as if she had committed an enormous mistake.

Regaining her senses, Su Man looked deeply at the back of the Jiang siblings and turned towards the town.

She wondered how Jiang Maohua and the Jiang Family had discussed this matter, and when they would propose.

She wasn’t worried about this at all; in her past life, it was easily resolved, and the same would happen in this life.

Su Man recalled an incident: back then, when she didn’t want to have a child, the Jiang Family held a meeting, and that arrogant, contemptuous sister-in-law advised divorce. Her meaning was, if she didn’t want to have a child, then divorce, find someone whose thinking aligned with hers, and not delay Jiang Maohua. Jiang Maohua unexpectedly kept silent, seemingly acquiescing to this, and later indeed wanted to divorce her. But it didn’t succeed, precisely because it was he who wanted to get married in the first place, and it couldn’t simply be undone. Due to this incident, the Jiang Family somewhat hated her.

So what? It’s their fault for not persuading her successfully, not conforming to their wishes!

That sister-in-law really liked persuading people to have children, didn’t she? Su Man’s eyes flashed with malice, and once married, she would arrange a marriage for her, as the Yu Family liked having children, which should suit her very well. It had to be done quickly, preventing her from taking the college entrance exam.

Ah Chen noticed Su Man’s malicious gaze but didn’t intervene, having long suspected through the events of the Commissioner’s last life that Su Man might be a reincarnated person. During the meeting earlier, she indeed detected something unusual about the other person, indicating she was a Reincarnator.

No wonder she had coaxed Jiang Maohua into being so willing to help her raise a child, only to be a nominal husband.

Jiang Maohua was an adult, willing to be fooled—it was his own business.

But Su Man shouldn’t harm others.

This person harbored too much malice.

From her understanding of the Jiang Family’s character, they couldn’t have done anything bad to Su Man, likely it was her own narrow-mindedness, unwillingness that pushed the blame onto the Jiang Family.

In the afternoon, Su Man met Jiang Maohua.

Seeing Jiang Maohua’s troubled expression, her heart sank. She clenched the corners of her clothes tightly, appearing anxious and uneasy: "Brother Mao Hua, how did things go?"

Jiang Maohua hesitated, not knowing how to respond.

Su Man’s face darkened; did things fail? In her past life, they succeeded, how did they not in this life? Could it be that her premature actions caused changes?

How could the Jiang Family possibly not agree? Now she was pregnant, and the Jiang Family didn’t know it was Gu Lingfei’s child, they should only agree.

"Su Man, things didn’t work out." Jiang Maohua said apologetically, "I originally wanted to bring something to nourish your body, but my sister noticed it."

Again with that Jiang Chen!

Why was she so annoying!

Indeed, Jiang Chen always looked down on her.

Initially, she hesitated about facilitating her marriage with Yu Jinyong, but now she had absolutely no reservations.

This was all Jiang Chen’s fault!

"But don’t worry, even if my family knows that the child in your belly isn’t mine, I will still marry you; they probably won’t spread it around. Just wait a little longer, I’ll definitely make them agree." Jiang Maohua promised, yet he didn’t anticipate this statement had a huge impact on Su Man.

What?

The Jiang Family knows the child in her belly is Gu Lingfei’s?

Su Man widened her eyes; did Jiang Maohua stupidly confess this to the Jiang Family? How could it be? In her past life, he didn’t!

She was on the brink of infuriation.

If the Jiang Family knew the truth, how could they allow her to enter the family?

Damn, this stupid pig!

Suppressing her fury, tears welled up in Su Man’s eyes: "Did you directly tell the family about this?"

"No." Jiang Maohua sighed, scratching his head, momentarily uncertain how to explain; directly saying his sister caught Su Man and Gu Lingfei together seemed not so good, yet he couldn’t not mention it either. He felt a little melancholic about this, but Su Man never liked him anyway, which had nothing to do with him; indeed, Gu Lingfei was good-looking, and his family conditions were better, so Su Man liking him was normal.

It’s just that this guy was so irresponsible; Su Man dedicated herself to him but was let down. She simply trusted the wrong person; what was wrong with that? If he didn’t help now, he’d only push her into despair.

"Then what happened?" Su Man felt very nervous; had something unexpected occurred?
