Born in the 1980s, she was remarried and became a stepmother; a cold, rough man doted on her, pinchi

Chapter 11 The Most Vicious New Bride in the Whole Village!

Jiang Man's series of questions made Jiang He feel like she was standing on pins and needles. She felt that the way people looked at her had changed, and there was a hint of pointing and whispering.

"We naturally need to choose a good day to get married. You and your brother-in-law didn't choose a good day to get married either. Be careful in the future!"

After Jiang He finished speaking, she turned and walked inside, not intending to speak to Jiang Man anymore.

Jiang Man snorted coldly and turned to look at Qin Yishen standing beside her. She thought she would see him with a blank expression, but who knew that as soon as they met eyes, she saw the smile in his eyes.

This man, who always had a cold face in front of outsiders, always seemed to be smiling in front of her.

This small detail pleased Jiang Man greatly.

"Your wife was just bullied, why didn't you help me? Do you even want to stay in this relationship?"

Qin Yishen could tell that Jiang Man wasn't really angry. She used a little force to turn Jiang Man around.

"If a wife wants to express herself freely, the husband naturally can't stop her."

Jiang Man wondered if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that Qin Yishen would deliberately pronounce words in an ambiguous way when he spoke, and would even blow air into her ear.

But every time she looked over, Qin Yishen always had a serious expression on his face, as if he hadn't done anything wrong.

So, I guess I should thank you?

"You're welcome. Just make some extra good food for tonight."

Qin Yishen naturally took Jiang Man's hand, and Jiang He, who came out from the back after buying groceries, found this scene extremely irritating.

In her previous life, she and Qin Yishen had also hastily married. However, Qin Yishen left the very next day, not staying a few more days like he did in this life, let alone engaging in intimate actions like holding hands or putting his arm around her shoulder.

Although she knew that Lin Yanqing was the only one who could give her a good life, she was still incredibly jealous when she saw Qin Yishen's deep affection for Jiang Man.

Jiang Man and Qin Yishen started working as soon as they got home. Shi An and Shi Ning came home on their own after school and called for their mothers before even entering the gate.

"Mom! We're back!"

What are we having for dinner tonight?

"Can we still eat big steamed buns?"

Sun Meifen sat at the entrance of the courtyard; her house was right next to Qin Yishen's.

Seeing how much Shi An and Shi Ning liked Jiang Man, she spat out the sunflower seed shell in her mouth: "Pah! You two are such ingrates. I've taken care of you for so long and you've never been this affectionate towards me."

"But I have to admit, Jiang Man is quite resourceful. She managed to win over the two children in just two days. You know, these two kids are notoriously withdrawn and don't get close to anyone!"

The woman sitting next to Sun Meifen was also coughing up sunflower seeds. She was known in the village as a gossip and a big mouth, and her name was Zhou Meihui.

When there's nothing to do, he likes to sit with Sun Meifen and chat about people.

"Isn't that all thanks to my Xiaohua? If she hadn't been joking around and Jiang Man hadn't found out, how could she have gained a foothold in Qin Yishen's heart!"

Sun Meifen grew angrier the more she thought about it. "Besides, let me tell you, she's just a slightly better cook. It's all because our cooking is so ordinary! These two kids are just greedy. What can I do? Can I even argue with them?"

"You're right. You helped Qin Yishen take care of the child, and now that he's just gotten married, he's kicked you and Qin the eldest out. How can he do things like that? Even strangers wouldn't do that, let alone your wife, who is his own brother!"

Zhou Meihui was adding fuel to the fire without making a sound.

Sun Meifen, provoked, threw the melon seeds in her hand into the plate.

"It makes me so angry! Yesterday morning I was thinking of going to their house to make breakfast. My husband and kids usually eat rice porridge and pickled vegetables. But as soon as I entered their yard, I smelled steamed buns. They smelled so good!"

"What's wrong? Did his wife steam some buns?" Sun Meifen nodded. "She steamed some buns but didn't even offer to send us a couple. She has absolutely no regard for our past relationship! When she saw me, she didn't even offer me a seat or a drink of water, she just told me to leave. Can you believe it!"

"Oh my, what a brother-in-law!"

Zhou Meihui and Sun Meifen were gossiping outside the courtyard.

Qin Yishen didn't close the courtyard gate, so people inside could see Zhou Meihui and Sun Meifen chatting outside.

Jiang Man came out carrying a plate of cold dishes. Qin Yishen took it from her and, seeing that she was staring straight outside, he tapped her nose with a wry smile.

"What are you looking at?"

Jiang Man subconsciously covered her nose and looked at Qin Yishen, saying, "I'm looking at those two big Buddhas outside!"

"Ever since we came back with the groceries, your sister-in-law has been sitting at the entrance of her yard eating sunflower seeds. Look, her like-minded friend has come too. Maybe soon the whole village will be saying that I'm a wicked new bride."

Looking at Jiang Man's resentful little face, Qin Yishen felt a tickle in his fingers and wanted to gently pinch his wife's little cheek again.

But seeing Shi An and Shi Ning doing their homework in the yard, Qin Yishen held back.

"Are you still afraid?"

After hearing this, Jiang Man looked at Qin Yishen with a slight surprise.

"In your heart, am I an omnipotent woman?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yishen's heart skipped a beat, realizing that he had said the wrong thing.

He immediately grasped Jiang Man's hand, moved closer to her, and the next second, a cautious yet subtly ingratiating voice rang in her ear.

"Angry?"

Jiang Man wasn't actually angry; she was just scolding her husband.

Now that Qin Yishen had done this, she felt a tingling sensation in her ears and subconsciously took a small step to the side.

"No, no."

Qin Yishen's eyes were dark and deep, and the way he looked at Jiang Man seemed to be able to draw her in.

This Qin Yishen was far too dangerous, and Jiang Man knew very well what that meant.

So she subtly shook off Qin Yishen's hand, then called to Shi Ning, "Why is your hair all messed up again? Come here, let Mommy braid it for you, okay?"

Shi Ning immediately put down her pencil, ran over and hugged Jiang Man's leg: "Okay!"

She had never braided her hair before. When her father wasn't home, there was no one to comb her hair, let alone braid it.

Seeing Jiang Man lead Shi Ning into the house, Qin Yishen knew she was shy and didn't follow her in.

He walked over to Shi An, who was doing her homework, and looked at the pink and green schoolbags on the table. These were the ones Jiang Man wanted to buy for the two children.

"So, did you learn everything the teacher taught in class today?"

Shi An nodded, looking at Qin Yishen with a hint of longing.

"You've learned it all. But you're going back the day after tomorrow, right?"

Seeing the reluctance in Shi An's eyes, Qin Yishen nodded: "This time I'm coming back to take Mom and you all to live in Kyoto. From now on, our family will never be separated again. We will always live together."
