Chapter 541: Chapter 540: Love-Struck at Home 22

Ah Chen had been walking with that person named Lu Yan for quite a while, and Su Man still hadn’t recovered from the shock.

Is the other party going to work in the county now? Or is it at the county public security bureau?

Although it was just for an assessment today, since they picked her, as long as there aren’t any major issues, she’s definitely in.

Just because she got married to Jiang Maohua early, things have changed so much? Su Man was extremely regretful. If she had known it would be like this, she should have gotten married according to the original timeline. It’s just that... in her past life, she lived for decades and only remembered the wedding date, while many other details had long been forgotten. Even if she wanted to keep to the original path, it was very difficult.

And she really wasn’t willing to let it be. Since she came back once, how could she do nothing?

Yet now that Ah Chen had gone to the county public security bureau, there was really nothing she could do.

When Jiang Maohua came back and saw Su Man not talking, he quickly asked her what was wrong and if she was feeling unwell.

After marriage and separating from the family, he had to work during the day and still take care of all the household chores after coming home, which was more exhausting than before. But with the person he liked right in front of him, he believed that one day Su Man would accept him. For now, Su Man asked him whether he was tired every day, and hearing these words, he felt it was worth it. Now, he didn’t think about anything but wanted to take care of Su Man.

"Being pregnant is like this," Su Man said somewhat dismissively. She wasn’t in the mood to coax Jiang Maohua today either.

Jiang Maohua was easy to coax, so occasionally being cold towards him wasn’t a big deal.

Jiang Maohua didn’t mind much, thinking she wasn’t feeling well, and worry showed on his face: "What’s wrong, do you want to go to the hospital to check it out?"

"No need, all kinds of discomfort come with pregnancy. Resting is all I need," Su Man said. This was also why the Jiang Family pushed her to have a child in her previous life, and she was so unwilling.

"Alright, what do you want to eat today, I’ll make it for you?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Su Man really didn’t have much appetite today, she asked Jiang Maohua to make something simple, her mind was filled with Ah Chen going to the county.

"Did you know that my younger sister went to the county?" she asked, sitting in the kitchen with no intention of helping with the fire. Now that her belly was big, claiming pregnancy discomfort wasn’t a lie, just not as exaggerated as she made out.

Compared to her body, her heart felt more uncomfortable today.

Since her rebirth, she was rarely not in low spirits.

After all, if she was reborn, shouldn’t she be the protagonist? Why was everything unsatisfactory?

Su Man refused to admit that even a supporting role could be reborn.

Why was this so clear to her? Just because the internet was advanced in the future, she lived to be over seventy, and during her lifetime, live streaming and short videos were popular. Various memes and novels were turned into videos on apps. Although she was quite old then, she loved this kind of content and often watched videos until late at night or even all night, unable to get up in the morning, always feeling groggy during the day.

The type she enjoyed was those where a young CEO at the hotel was drugged by a scheming woman, but finally pushed the woman away and ended up with the middle-aged hotel housekeeper. Or a middle-aged woman going to the city to be a nanny for a wealthy family and accidentally meeting a middle-aged CEO...

Since the Jiang Family pushed her for childbirth, causing unpleasantness, she stopped doing it and left household matters to Jiang Maohua.

Whether he was happy or not, was not within her concern.

Initially, Jiang Maohua listened to the Jiang Family’s instigation and even wanted to divorce her. How could she agree? Certainly not. She had spent her youth on Jiang Maohua, there was no way he could shake her off.

In the end, there was really no warmth left between them, only resentment.

Even though they lived in the countryside, they weren’t short on money.

The Jiang Family couldn’t ignore Jiang Maohua, they would send him money. Initially, the card was with her, but afterwards, Jiang Maohua listened to the Jiang Family’s instigation and started keeping the card himself.

Therefore, she really hated the Jiang Family.

As for her, although her son was taken away by Gu Lingfei and never returned, he still sent money to her every year.

Looking the way she did was embarrassing enough, and she felt she couldn’t tag along and be a burden to her son as long as she knew he was doing well.

Thinking about her older years really upset her, she still held resentment toward Jiang Maohua.

Jiang Maohua died before she did, and before he died, he transferred all the money in the card to Jiang Maochuan and Ah Chen, leaving her with nothing.

Even if she wasn’t short of that little amount, Jiang Maohua was just too much.

Was it just because she didn’t give him children that he hated her so much?

She came to truly understand men’s desire for reproduction.

Would they die without children? With Jiang Maohua’s situation, there wasn’t even a throne to inherit at home.

"How did my younger sister end up going to the county?" Jiang Maohua was a bit surprised, wiping the sweat off his cheek.

There was a fan at home, but only one, and Su Man was using it.

"I heard she was going for an assessment," Su Man replied, "if she passes, she’ll get to work at the county public security bureau."

Su Man felt very anxious inside, knowing she couldn’t stop Ah Chen like this.

Once Ah Chen started working in the county, even if she didn’t go to college, she’d still do well.

But there was nothing Su Man could do.

Jiang Maohua, however, felt a bit happy, saying, "Our little sister is quite capable, isn’t she?"

Between his family and Su Man, Jiang Maohua would inadvertently favor Su Man. But whenever something good happened for his family, he would genuinely be happy.

Seeing him so cheerful just annoyed Su Man even more.

Forget it, she couldn’t do anything to Ah Chen. She’d better focus on her pregnancy. Anyway, in this life, she wouldn’t work herself to the bone. She would take care of herself and her child well, waiting for Gu Lingfei to come back to pick her and the child up.

As for ways to set up Ah Chen, she really couldn’t think of any, nor did she dare. Since Ah Chen had connections with the county public security bureau, if anything happened, it would turn into a big deal. Despite Jiang Maohua’s tendencies, if she really did something like that, he definitely wouldn’t side with her, and it would not be worth it.

The most important thing was to hold onto Gu Lingfei.

Compared to Su Man’s frustration, Jiang Maochuan and his wife were quite happy when they learned about it.

The next day, the entire village knew about the matter.

The Jiang Family didn’t intend to say much, but many people saw Lu Yan going to the Jiang home yesterday, so they had to explain that it was related to work, but still undecided, requiring an assessment first to secure the job.

When someone asked Su Man who was walking outside, she wasn’t that reserved and blurted everything out.

She harbored a secret hope that if Ah Chen didn’t pass, it would be a joke.

Though this possibility was quite slim.

And over in the county, Ah Chen was undergoing the assessment today.

The assessment was simple — listen to a description of a person’s appearance and sketch them on the spot.

As for other things she needed to learn, there would be targeted training later.

Ah Chen drew five sketches in total, passing the assessment perfectly and securing a job many wouldn’t even dare to dream of.
