Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Chapter 385 I'm not as good as her, am I?

Jiang Ruoruo wasn't satisfied with just muttering to herself, so she called out Shen Tingyu, "Tell them not to secretly use my kitchen, or the rice, flour, and oil in there!"

Shen Tingyu clasped his hands together, unable to listen any longer, "What kind of people do you think my mother and the others are?"

Jiang Ruoruo was unhappy. "I didn't mean to be anyone special, but don't assume they're good people."

"You're a good person, so even if we split the family property, you won't get a single penny?"

"Didn't we all get nothing?"

"Even my eldest brother doesn't have any!"

How do you know if it's true or not privately?

After hearing this, Shen Tingyu looked at her with a complicated expression, and finally got up, opened the door, and left.

I don't want to talk to her anymore.

Jiang Ruoruo was so angry that she stood alone in the room glaring at everyone.

Gu Shuhe and the others have finished eating.

Shen Tingci originally planned to accompany Gu Shuhe to purchase the necessary kitchen supplies, including the stove, which also needed to be built.

Chen Ying told him, "You don't need to worry about these things. I'm at home. Shuhe and I will go and get everything ready. I'll find someone to help with building the stove."

Gu Shuhe nodded, "Mom just needs to stay with me!"

Then Gu Shuhe suggested, "Mom, why don't you share a kitchen with us? We won't be home for lunch anyway, so you can use our kitchen to cook!"

"You can use it first tonight, and we'll cook dinner when we get home from get off work. It won't conflict."

Gu Shuhe thought they could eat together, but she was afraid Jiang Ruoruo would make a fuss and say that she was taking advantage of her.

But Gu Shuhe thought it was fine to use a kitchen, since Chen Ying and Shen Pengfei didn't have a place to cook.

They have two rooms, one for Shen Tingzhi and one for themselves, so they can only cook in the room.

If it were anyone else, Gu Shuhe wouldn't think anything of it.

But Shen Pengfei was, after all, the Party Secretary. Gu Shuhe always felt it was a bit shabby that he had built a stove in his sleeping room.

Chen Ying was also tempted by the idea of ​​sharing a kitchen.

In her opinion, it was fine for her to cook dinner and eat together. If Jiang Ruoruo had any objections, she could just ask Gu Shuhe and Shen Tingci to provide some food; it wasn't a big deal.

But Shen Pengfei refused.

"Shuhe, Dad knows you mean well, but it's better not to, so as not to cause you any trouble."

Shen Pengfei could tell that Jiang Ruoruo was exceptionally difficult to deal with.

If they were to share a kitchen with Gu Shuhe, Jiang Ruoruo would definitely have objections. Not only would she make a scene, but she might also have ulterior motives and do something that is impossible to guard against.

Moreover, she wouldn't dare use her underhanded tricks on the elderly couple, as she is still young and somewhat intimidated by her elders. But she might not be so afraid of Gu Shuhe, her sister-in-law who is of the same generation. That's why he said he wouldn't cause trouble for Shuhe.

After saying he didn't want to cause trouble for Shuhe, Shen Pengfei said to Chen Ying, "Buy a stove later, and we won't need to build a traditional stove anymore."

Chen Ying looked at Shen Pengfei and could only nod, "I understand."

After the matter was discussed, Shen Tingci and Shen Pengfei went to work.

Shen Tingzhi rode off on her bicycle first.

Gu Shuhe and Chen Ying tidied up before leaving.

As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were leaving together, Jiang Ruoruo happened to come out of the house with wide eyes. She immediately saw Chen Ying and Gu Shuhe chatting and laughing as they left the courtyard, and she got angry again.

Just then, Shen Tingyu returned from calming down in the backyard, and Jiang Ruoruo immediately pointed at Chen Ying and Gu Shuhe's backs, urging Shen Tingyu to look, "Look, look for yourself, do you see them?"

"Didn't you say there was no bias?"

"You went out with your sister-in-law without showing any favoritism towards your mother?"

Shen Tingyu's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again. "They must have gone out on something."

Shen Tingyu still didn't get the meaning behind Jiang Ruoruo's words.

Jiang Ruoruo realized it too, and got angry, "Are you stupid?"

"Didn't I know they had something to do?"

Shen Tingyu “…”

Jiang Ruoruo could tell he wouldn't understand, so she simply said it directly, "We just separated the family yesterday, and today your mother and your sister-in-law went out together. They must have gone to buy some things together."

"So guess, did your mom pay for this, or did your mom pay for it?"

Shen Tingyu thought, "My sister-in-law definitely won't let my mother pay for it; she has money."

Shen Tingyu didn't mean anything by it, but Jiang Ruoruo took it to heart and immediately asked him, "What do you mean by that?"

Shen Tingyu was stunned again, "...I, I just felt that my sister-in-law wouldn't let Mom pay, she has money..."

"You're complaining that my dowry isn't enough, aren't you?"

"If you think my dowry is too small, then don't have married me in the first place!"

Did I beg you to marry me?

“You’re complaining now that my dowry is too small,” Jiang Ruoruo cried out.

Shen Tingyu stood there somewhat at a loss, desperately trying to explain, "...I, I didn't mean that at all."

“My sister-in-law’s dowry was not in line with the current market rate.”

"Yours is the same. Your dowry is much more than my sister-in-law's, but it's still more than everyone else's!"

Shen Tingyu's words wouldn't anger a normal person, but Jiang Ruoruo wasn't a normal person.

So Jiang Ruoruo wiped away her tears and continued to stare at him, asking, "So you think I shouldn't compare myself to her, that I'm not as good as her?"

Shen Tingyu “…”

"...You, you've really misunderstood me, I..."

Shen Tingyu was really exhausted at this moment. "Ruo Ruo, if I cared about these things, I wouldn't have married you, would I?"

“What I care about is our relationship over the years,” Shen Tingyu said sincerely.

Faced with his sincere words, Jiang Ruoruo felt a little embarrassed. "...I, of course I also sincerely want to live with you, but your parents..." she said, tears welling up in her eyes again.

Shen Tingyu quickly stepped forward to wipe away her tears, saying, "Don't cry. In the end, it's just the two of us living our lives together. I promise I'll treat you well."

"From now on, all my salary will be yours. I promise I'll make sure you don't suffer!"

Jiang Ruoruo still harbored some resentment, "But your parents..."

Shen Tingyu quickly interrupted her spellcasting, "Have you eaten the steamed buns in the house?"

"It'll get cold if you haven't eaten it. I'll go heat it up for you."

"Let's eat something first, then we can go back to our parents' home."

Speaking of returning to one's parents' home, Jiang Ruoruo got angry again, "Your parents are gone now, there's no one at home, and we haven't prepared anything. How are we supposed to go back to our parents' home?"

“I’m going to buy something,” Shen Tingyu said quickly.

To calm Jiang Ruoruo down, Shen Tingyu added, "Ruoruo, my parents probably thought we were going to separate the family, that's why..."

The meaning is self-evident: you've all separated, so who cares about you anymore!

Jiang Ruoruo's face was very ugly. "I've never seen anything so outrageous."

Shen Tingyu opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Instead, he turned around and went to heat up Jiang Ruoruo's food.

After heating up the food for Jiang Ruoruo, he went to buy some things, and then went back to her parents' home with her.

It was past ten o'clock when the two of them arrived at the Jiang family's house.

At the Jiang family home, Zhou Fenfen and Jiang Ruoruo, Jiang's sister-in-law, were present.

Jiang Ruoruo's sister-in-law was only responsible for greeting people at the door, but she didn't say a word the whole time.

It was Zhou Fenfen who kept saying, "Why are you only arriving now?"
