Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 137: Is the system bugged?
A telegram costs one cent per word, but here it would cost at least twenty dollars.

This man is such a spendthrift. He only sends such a short message about important matters, but he writes a long and detailed telegram about his longing for her.

A wave of shame suddenly washed over Ji Sisi; the person who copied this telegram must have been sickened by its mushy sentimentality.

"The noodles are here." The waiter brought the noodles to the table.

Ji Sisi smelled a hot, greasy odor and suddenly felt nauseous, letting out a dry heave.

The waiter got angry after she did that.

"Hey, are you deliberately trying to cause trouble? Everything was fine here, how did you manage to turn it into this disgusting mess?"

Ji Sisi quickly waved her hand, "Comrade, you misunderstood. I'm just too tired today, I guess I didn't get enough rest."

The waiter looked at him with suspicion.

"Anyway, it can't be refunded. A bowl of minced meat noodles costs 52 cents."

Originally, the bill was to be paid after the meal, but seeing Ji Sisi's distressed appearance, she worried that she might try to renege on the debt.

Ji Sisi realized that it was her own fault, so she didn't dwell on it and quickly gave the money to the waiter.

Ji Sisi exhaled and placed her hand on the area where her stomach was located.

Have you been eating too many different things lately? You had two big meals in two days, and then went through all that trouble today. Is your body unable to keep up?
I'll try drinking some of the spiritual spring water later.

Ji Sisi picked up her chopsticks again to eat the noodles, but as soon as she picked up a noodle, the smell of meat sauce spread, making her feel nauseous.

I forced myself to eat a couple of bites so I wouldn't be too tired to get up tomorrow morning.

After the fifth bite, Ji Sisi couldn't take it anymore, so she put down her chopsticks, hurriedly wiped her mouth, and left the restaurant.

Seeing her leave, the waiter who had been staring at Ji Sisi for a long time muttered as he went over to clean up, "Waste of food. If it were a few years earlier, she should have been dragged out and criticized. Now that life is better, she's just putting on airs."

Ji Sisi returned from the restaurant and immediately went into her personal space.

Ji Sisi has been too busy these past few days to notice the changes in her online space.

She pushed open the door to the other bedroom and found that the previously dried-up stream was now flowing with water, and Taoyuan had come back to life.

What's going on? Has she unlocked any new achievements recently?
Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem like anything. Could she be pregnant? But her period is still a week away, so it shouldn't be possible.
"system?"

No one answered.

Ji Sisi stopped worrying and walked towards the gently flowing spiritual spring. When she got closer, she realized that there seemed to be another spring, a separate pool of water.

While the system was still in a state of flux, Ji Sisi hurriedly filled all the containers in her space with spiritual spring water in preparation.

After finishing her chores, she took out the swimsuit she had bought while surfing in Sanya and went straight to the bottom of the spring to soak in the water.

It's strange that the temperature here is higher than upstream.

As Ji Sisi soaked in the water, it felt like she was in a hot spring, so comfortable that every pore on her body felt open.

After soaking for half an hour, Ji Sisi went back to the toilet to rinse off and finally went back to bed to sleep.

The next morning, Ji Sisi went to the post office to send a telegram to Qi Yan, and then went to the train station to pick him up.

I've really been having a lot of luck with train stations lately; I've been there three times in less than a week.

"Sister-in-law, have you been waiting long?"

Ji Sisi was patted on the shoulder.

"You've only been here a short time. Come on, I'll take you to the guesthouse."

"Wait a little longer, Qi Yan went to the restroom," Zhang Zhifeng called out.

"I met her on the train. This girl had just come back from your area and then came here to cause trouble again. I was worried about her wandering around alone, so we went together."

Ji Sisi was surprised and frowned subconsciously. "Whatever, she'll have to bear all of this sooner or later anyway."

It's just a matter of time.

During their conversation, Qi Yan came out of the restroom and stood behind the two of them.

Qi Yan whispered, "Sister-in-law, Brother Zhifeng, I'm all better..."

Along the way, Qi Yan followed beside Zhang Zhifeng. Zhang Zhifeng acted as the mood-maker, keeping the atmosphere lively between the two, and they walked around, looking at everything around them like tourists.

"Sister-in-law, let's have lunch together. I've contacted a lawyer for you, but he's a bit busy lately and it'll probably take a few days."

Just then, Xie Zhonghua, who lived on the first floor, heard Ji Sisi's voice and went out.

"Attorney Xie, it's good that you're here. Let me introduce you. This is my husband's childhood friend, Zhang Zhifeng, and this is my husband's sister, Qi Yan."

After his initial surprise, Xie Zhonghua quickly regained his composure and greeted him.

Zhang Zhifeng and Xie Zhonghua both live on the first floor, while Ji Sisi and Qi Yan live on the second floor.

At lunchtime, Ji Sisi and Zhang Zhifeng walked side by side in front.

"Sister-in-law, which of your friends introduced this lawyer? How come Qi Yan never mentioned that you had friends with such resources?"

"A friend from work, who even came to my wedding last time, don't you remember?"

Ji Sisi didn't give Zhang Zhifeng a chance to think, and asked him again, "If you come over, can you coordinate the work well?"

"Sister-in-law, you don't think I'm here for fun, do you? I'm in Jianghai on a business trip, and I'll be leaving in a couple of days."

After chatting with Zhang Zhifeng for a few more minutes, Ji Sisi managed to extract all the information he had to say.

It turns out that Zhang Zhifeng was unaware that Shen Wanqing was helping Ji Nian, nor that she had been sued.

"Sister-in-law, have you met Aunt Shen yet? If you're too shy, how about I arrange a get-together for you tomorrow?"

"I've already met her, so let's skip the gathering. I suspect she's stressed out lately, so let's talk about it later."

When she left yesterday, Shen Wanqing was so angry she almost overturned the table.

Tomorrow is the court hearing, and Shen Wanqing will probably be there too. There's no need to organize anything; we'll see her tomorrow.

Zhang Zhifeng smiled but remained silent.

It seems Aunt Shen lost to her sister-in-law this time. I'll send Qi Yan over tonight to check on things.

"Zhifeng, Yanyan, what brings you here?"

Shen Wanqing opened the door and was taken aback to see the two people standing there. "Why aren't you in school? What are you doing in Jianghai?"

Qi Yan lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. "Mom, I... I took some time off. I wanted to come to Jianghai to keep you company."

Sure enough, once they found their biological daughter, their attitudes toward their adopted daughter became so clearly divided?

Shen Wanqing opened the door, turned aside to change the subject, and said, "Come in."

"I came to Jianghai to handle some things. Didn't you say there was a problem with steel prices here? So my boss asked me to come and take a look."

"Then how did you know I was also in Jianghai? Did Qi Yan tell you?"

Shen Wanqing picked up the teapot and poured water for the two of them.

"More or less, but not entirely. After all, Aunt Shen, as you know, Uncle Qi and I meet often, and he mentioned it once when I greeted him."

Shen Wanqing suppressed her dissatisfaction.

"Yan Yan, why aren't you studying properly in the capital? What are you doing running around with your brother Zhifeng? Anyone who didn't know better would think you two planned to come here to see me."

Qi Yan nervously gripped the hem of her clothes, her smile stiff.

She had been conflicted the whole way, worried that Shen Wanqing would scold her, but now it seemed that her mother's mind was focused on finding her biological daughter.

“I visited the research institute where my brother works a while ago.”

Shen Wanqing looked up and said, "You dared to go to such a far place alone without my consent. Do you even care about me, your mother?"

"Does Mom still care about me, her adopted daughter?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Wanqing's face turned serious, and anger flickered in her eyes.

Zhang Zhifeng saw that a major battle between the mother and daughter was about to break out.

"Aunt Shen, didn't you worry that you were being scammed when you suddenly came to Jianghai?"
