Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

At lunchtime, Liu Manman made an excuse that she had a question to ask the teacher and let Ren Pingwei and Jiang Chunxi leave first.

She was creating an opportunity for Ren Pingwei.

“Chunxi,” Ren Pingwei said, looking at Jiang Chunxi with deep affection as soon as they stepped out of the school, “Why did you change your mind and not go to the countryside with us? Don’t you want to…”

“I don’t want to,” Jiang Chunxi interrupted Ren Pingwei, turning her head and saying with great incomprehension, “Why are you looking at me like that? It gives me goosebumps. Besides, why should I go to the countryside with you?”

“You and Liu Manman are such a perfect match. If I go to the countryside with you, wouldn’t I just be standing between you two, an eyesore? It would disturb your sweet romance.”

"So! I won't be that conspicuous bag. But don't worry, when you and Liu Manman get married in the countryside, I will definitely send you a wedding gift. After all, once you go there, who knows when you will be able to come back? Maybe you will settle down in the countryside for the rest of your lives. Therefore, you and Liu Manman can only get married in the countryside."

Ren Pingwei's eyes darkened, and then he said anxiously, "Chunxi, have you misunderstood something? Liu Manman and I grew up together. In my eyes, she is no different from my own sister. That's why I haven't paid attention to some of her usual actions."

"After all, in my heart, Liu Manman is like my own sister. When an older brother does something intimate with his sister, it's simply out of love and care for her."

“It’s all my fault,” Ren Pingwei said with a look of annoyance. “I forgot that although I treat Liu Manman like a younger sister, we are not related by blood. No wonder you misunderstood.”

It seems that Liu Manman's guess was correct. Jiang Chunxi did suspect his relationship with Liu Manman. Jiang Chunxi had noticed the little things they had done under her nose over the years.

“Ren Pingwei, you don’t need to explain,” Jiang Chunxi said with a smile. “I understand, I understand. You’re just shy and embarrassed to admit your relationship with Liu Manman, right? But then again, it’s natural to be embarrassed to admit to dating secretly, especially since you’re doing it behind my back, right under my nose.”

"So it's understandable that you'd deny it, isn't it because you're afraid I'll get angry?" Jiang Chunxi gave a helpless look, as if to say, "Ren Pingwei, you're underestimating me! Do you think I'm the kind of person who holds grudges?"

“You and Liu Manman are both my good friends. If you two can become a couple, I will be happy for you. How could I possibly be angry with you?”

"No, Chunxi, listen to me," Ren Pingwei said, his voice growing increasingly anxious. "I really only see Liu Manman as a younger sister. I don't believe you can't tell that the person I actually like is you, and I can also tell that you like me too."

Ren Pingwei was anxious, which is why he couldn't wait to break the ice.

“Ren Pingwei,” Jiang Chunxi stopped and her face turned serious. “I really didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. You’re always looking for something better than what you have. Do you want me to tell you all about your secret and intimate little actions with Liu Manman?”

“You still like me?” Jiang Chunxi sneered. “Sorry, I can’t see any sign that you like me. On the contrary, your affection for Liu Manman is so obvious that it’s practically overflowing from your eyes.”

“As for me liking you,” Jiang Chunxi said sarcastically, “that’s even more absurd. Although we’ve been friends for so many years, our circumstances are what they are. Comparing your family’s circumstances to mine, tell me yourself, are you good enough for me?”

"You don't even take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Do you really think you're some kind of reincarnation of Pan An? Someone like you has the nerve to pat yourself on the back and say I like you, and you even have the audacity to think you can have your cake and eat it too."

"Ren Pingwei, let's break off our friendship! It's such a misfortune to be friends with someone like you. From now on, you go your way and I'll go mine. We're done..."

"No, I'm cutting ties with you all from now on. You and Liu Manman are no longer my friends. You'd better stop bothering me and break up with Liu Manman as soon as possible! Otherwise, if you dare to bother me again, don't blame me for suing you for indecent assault."

With a cold snort, Jiang Chunxi turned and left.

Ren Pingwei's face was extremely gloomy as he watched Jiang Chunxi's departing figure.

Has Jiang Chunxi lost her mind, or has she suddenly become a genius?

"Mom, I'm home," Jiang Chunxi said as she returned home. Her mother was cooking in the kitchen. As soon as she hung up her schoolbag, she rushed into the kitchen. "I can smell the meat. Are we having meat today?"

“Yes,” Jiang’s mother turned her head and smiled gently at her daughter. “I was lucky today. I managed to buy a piece of excellent pork belly, more than a pound! I cooked it all up and made your favorite braised pork.”

"Go and set the table quickly, so we can start eating as soon as your dad gets back."

"Wow!" Jiang Chunxi made an exaggerated expression and even swallowed. "Braised pork, and a whole pound of braised pork."

"I'll go set the table right away." After saying that, Jiang Chunxi hurriedly opened the cabinet and took out the bowls and chopsticks for eating.

Just as Jiang Chunxi and her mother had set the food on the table, Jiang's father returned.

"It smells so good!" Mr. Jiang put down his briefcase and quickly changed his shoes. "We're cooking meat at home today."

"Dad, Mom made braised pork today," Jiang Chunxi replied happily. "Hurry up and wash your hands and get ready to eat. My mouth is watering, and I'm just waiting for you to come to the table and eat."

"Okay, Dad will go wash his hands now." Mr. Jiang said cheerfully and walked into the bathroom.

When he came out of the bathroom, his mother had already served him his meal.

"Dad, here you go," Jiang Chunxi picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her father's bowl, then picked up another piece and put it in her mother's bowl. "Mom, you should eat too."

Jiang Chunxi quickly picked up another piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth. Then she squinted her eyes and said with an expression of great happiness, "It's delicious. My mom's braised pork is so delicious. I wish I could eat my mom's braised pork every day."

"You're dreaming!" Jiang's mother said with a laugh. "It's good enough if you can eat meat once a month, you expect to eat it every day."

The country is currently facing a severe shortage of supplies. Therefore, even though both of Chiang Kai-shek's parents earn high salaries, with their combined monthly income exceeding one hundred, the family of three still cannot afford to eat meat more than once a month.

After all, you need ration coupons to buy meat, and even if you have coupons, you might not be able to buy it. For example, the piece of meat we're making today, Jiang's mother went to queue up at 2 a.m. to get her to buy this big piece of meat.
