Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 456 Don't Make Things Difficult for Chengzi

She didn't drink it!

When the doctor told her what other ingredients were in the dregs of the medicine, she was shocked and completely didn't understand what her mother-in-law meant.

But one thing is certain: it was definitely not for her own good; otherwise, there would be no need to hide it.

She went home full of guesses.

When I got close to my house, I saw my mother-in-law hurriedly coming out of the Fang family's house next door.

Lin Qingping quickened her pace and headed home.

It wasn't that she was being paranoid; she genuinely didn't believe that her neighbor, Shu Xiaowen, would change and suddenly become friendly with her.

When Lin Qingping returned home, her mother-in-law was already busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen. She followed her into the kitchen and asked, "Mom, what were you doing next door?"

The mother-in-law smiled and said to her, "I steamed some rice cakes. I saw there was a child next door, so I took some to give to the child."

Lin Qingping: ? ? ? Shu Xiaowen actually wants her family's rice cake?

"Mom, let's try to avoid going to the neighbors' house as much as possible. The lady of the house next door is very particular and likes peace and quiet. We don't want to disturb her." She didn't want to speak ill of Shu Xiaowen, lest her mother-in-law hear it and gossip about it to others on the island, causing a huge uproar.

Liu Fen disagreed, saying, "They're really nice and friendly! They even offered me water. I'm not saying this to criticize you, but Pingzi, you need to be careful about unity on the island, otherwise Chengzi will have a hard time!"

Okay, so you're talking about her now...

"Mother, you don't understand the situation on the island, so don't trust people too easily, and don't associate with people casually, especially the family next door. They've had some unpleasant experiences with our family. If something happens, it will really put Chengzi in a difficult position." Lin Qingping had to give Liu Fen a good talking-to.

Liu Fen nodded after hearing this, "I know."

Lin Qingping wasn't sure if Liu Fen truly knew or was pretending. Since she had agreed now, it didn't necessarily mean she was genuine. She would still need to frequently discuss the pros and cons with Liu Fen in the future.

Lin Qingping took a walk outside, and after sweating slightly, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she went back to her room to get some clothes to change into.

Liu Fen walked into the living room, glanced at the closed door of Lin Qingping's room, and looked worried. She whispered to Gu Dafu, "No wonder people say she's aloof and doesn't talk to anyone. She looks down on the wives on the island because she's a college student from the capital. Look at her, listen to what she said. It's really true."

Gu Dafu glanced at her. "What did you hear people say again?"

"I was trying to improve my relationship with the neighbors for Chengzi's sake, but after talking to them, this is what they said. They even said that she takes advantage of Chengzi's affection for her and treats him like a servant." Liu Fen pouted. "Chengzi is indeed honest and good to her. She does whatever she says. But a woman can't take advantage of a woman. She has to know her place."

"What does this mean?" Gu Dafu asked.

"I heard that Chengzi is usually so busy with military affairs and training that he's practically overwhelmed. When he comes back, he still has to cook, do laundry, and take care of her. She's pregnant now, but even when she wasn't pregnant, Chengzi took care of her the same way." Liu Fen lowered her voice. "They say he even washes her underwear!"

Gu Dafu frowned. "This is going to cause trouble..."

“Yes! Isn’t it bad luck for a man to wash a woman’s underwear?” Liu Fen said anxiously. “What should we do? Chengzi has such a temper, we can’t say anything to her, she’ll definitely side with him.”

Liu Fen sighed as she spoke, "I don't know what kind of bewitching potion he was given. After Chen Xia broke off the engagement, he rejected several other girls who wanted to marry him, but insisted on getting married to this one."
