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

Chapter 6 Everyone's waiting for you to divorce Qin Yishen.
Sun Meifen stood in front of the dining table, her eyes fixed on the steamed buns on it, the aroma making her mouth water.

Her house is right next door, and I could smell the aroma of steamed buns early in the morning.

The family sat at the table eating pickled vegetables, cornbread, and thin porridge, but the aroma made it impossible for them to swallow.

"What are you here for?"

Jiang Man was not one to back down, so when Sun Meifen arrived uninvited, she naturally didn't ask her to sit down.

Sun Meifen watched as Jiang Man picked up a steaming hot bun, carefully broke it open, and a rich aroma wafted out.

The buns were filled with a generous amount of meat, the tender and juicy filling turning an enticing reddish-brown, with some bright green scallions mixed in.

Sun Meifen stared at the bun that Jiang Man had broken open in her hand, the tempting filling making her mouth water. Her eyes were fixed on the bun, and her throat moved involuntarily.

"Did your sister-in-law come all this way just to watch me eat steamed buns?"

Jiang Man divided the broken buns into pieces and gave them to the two little ones, then looked up at Sun Meifen.

Sun Meifen swallowed hard and said with an awkward smile, "Of course not, I came here to cook for you, but I didn't expect you to start cooking so early."

"Is it early?" Jiang Man coldly interrupted Sun Meifen. "In another ten minutes or so, both children will be going to school."

Seeing that her lie had been exposed, Sun Meifen stood there awkwardly.

"Did you always start cooking at this time before? Wouldn't the child have to go to school hungry without having breakfast? Is this how you take care of your brother-in-law's child?!"

Sun Meifen never expected that when she came to ask for steamed buns, she would not only fail to get them, but also be scolded by her new daughter-in-law, Jiang Man.

"Jiang Man, how can you talk like that? How could I let my child go to school hungry? Don't you have a conscience?!"

"Only the guilty party knows their own conscience. Our family still needs to eat. If you have nothing else to do, sister-in-law, you should go back."

Jiang Man picked up her chopsticks, but Sun Meifen took two steps forward and grabbed a steamed bun in each hand.

"I've been thinking about coming to your house to cook since early this morning. I haven't even had time to take care of my own husband and kids. Consider these steamed buns as compensation."

After saying that, Sun Meifen turned around and left in a flash.

"Who do you think you are! You can't even afford food at home, so you come to your brother-in-law's house to steal steamed buns? Aren't you ashamed?!"

Jiang Man was furious. She would rather feed the buns she made to dogs than to these people!

unlucky!

Upon hearing Jiang Man's words, Qin Yishen put down his bowl of porridge, grasped Jiang Man's hand, and said, "Don't worry, I'll get revenge for you later."

After dinner, Qin Yishen and Jiang Man took the children to school together. When they arrived at the school gate, Shi An and Shi Ning hugged and kissed each of them before entering the school.

"You said you'd get revenge for me, are you serious?"

Qin Yi looked at her with a smile: "Of course it's true. How can you bully my wife and still act so arrogantly?"

Meeting Qin Yishen's serious gaze, Jiang Man felt as if she were burned by his eyes and looked away somewhat embarrassed.

Just when Qin Yi thought the girl would say something like "thank you," the girl beside him said in a haughty tone, "That's more like it. This is how my man, Jiang Man's man, should be."

Jiang Man clearly sensed that her heart, which had never fluttered in either of her two lifetimes, had suddenly pounded violently for a moment.

This feeling was unfamiliar, yet incredibly wonderful.

Qin Yishen felt a little embarrassed after being praised.

Jiang Man walked alongside him, and he would glance at her from time to time, catching a glimpse of her delicate, fair profile. He tentatively reached out, his fingers gently and quietly hooking into Jiang Man's. For a fleeting moment, his heart seemed to skip a beat.

Jiang Man's fingers were slender and warm, stirring an indescribable flutter in his heart.

Qin Yishen gently grasped Jiang Man's fingers, then slowly enveloped her hand in his palm. His palm was large and warm, carrying a reassuring strength.

Jiang Man had already realized what was happening when Qin Yishen hooked her finger around his, but this feeling, similar to first love, made her both nervous and excited.

Qin Yishen rode his bicycle with Jiang Man to the city. The two first went to the butcher's stall and asked the owner to reserve some lean meat. Then Qin Yishen took Jiang Man to the market.

"It's market day today, let's go buy some chicks to raise at home. These poultry are easy to raise, you don't have to worry about them too much, so you won't have to go out to buy eggs every day."

Qin Yishen held Jiang Man's hand and led her through the crowds of the market, talking as he went.

Jiang Man looked at Qin Yishen holding her hand tightly. With Qin Yishen's tender words echoing in her ears, Jiang Man felt as if she were immersed in a honey pot.

In her previous life, after she married Lin Yanqing, she never received a kind word from him, let alone a warm glance.

"Is five chicks, five ducklings, and five goslings okay?"

While she was still in a daze, Qin Yishen had already led her to stand in front of the vendor's stall. Jiang Man looked at the chickens, ducks, and geese that were enclosed and nodded: "Okay."

After Jiang Man nodded, Qin Yishen paid the money to the vendor.

"Could you please deliver it to this address? I'll pay the rest of the money when it's delivered."

"Of course, no problem, but it will probably take until the afternoon to deliver it."

The vendor readily agreed, and Jiang Man thought she would browse around some more and maybe buy a couple of clothes for her child.

As a result, Qin Yishen took her directly to a department store.

Stepping into the department store, a unique atmosphere immediately greets you.

The air was filled with a mixture of smells from various goods: the scent of new clothes, the aroma of leather goods, and a faint smell of mothballs. The floor was terrazzo, smooth and flat, and the sound of people's footsteps echoed crisply on it.

The first floor sells household goods, while the second floor is the clothing section.

As soon as she entered, Qin Yishen's eyes were drawn to a yellow dress worn by a mannequin.

The dress has a simple yet elegant design. The neckline is rounded, and if Jiang Man wore it, it would perfectly showcase her slender neck.

The short sleeves were slightly puffed up, like blooming flowers; the thin belt around the waist was a pale yellow in the same color family; and the skirt flared out slightly, like a blooming yellow tulip.

"Hello, I'd like to find a size S for this one."

Jiang Man didn't notice Qin Yishen's actions. She walked to the children's clothing store next door and was very satisfied with the denim outfit on the little mannequin.

Just as she was about to ask someone to find her a set, she heard an annoying voice from beside her.

"Hey, isn't this my sister?"

Jiang He, dressed in a red floral dress, walked over arm in arm with Lin Yanqing, who was wearing a white shirt and jeans.

"Sister, you came to this department store and instead of buying clothes for yourself, you picked out children's clothes. Are you really that willing to be a stepmother?"

"I heard you got married last night and even kicked Qin Yishen's older brother and sister-in-law out. You're famous in our village now. People say you're a fierce woman and they're all waiting for Qin Yishen to divorce you."
