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

Chapter 58 Be wary of thieves
"Look how stingy you are. It's not like you'll lose a piece of flesh just by looking at it."

Zhang Shufen chuckled and continued, "Alright then, we'll assume you brought Sisi some treasure. It's getting late, and some people are already telling us to go home. Let's all go home."

Everyone around smiled silently, picked up their small stools, and went home.

They realized that Ji Nian was no good.

Ji Nian looked helplessly at the people she had driven away, wanting to call them back to explain, but realized that calling them back would only make things worse.

Ji Nian was puzzled. In her previous life, they were definitely not so aggressive... So what went wrong?

"Ma'am, my car is small, so I can only bring this much luggage. The rest is yours. My house is just ahead, turn left and then go straight."

Before she finished speaking, Ji Sisi picked up a small backpack and rode away on her bicycle.

By the time Ji Nian realized what was happening, all that was left was Ji Sisi's back.

She stared in disbelief at the remaining large bag of luggage.

How dare Ji Sisi? It's obvious she doesn't want to help her with her luggage. It's so heavy; she had to beg and plead with kind people to help her bring it all this way. If she's asked to carry it all by herself now, wouldn't she be crushed by the weight?
Ji Sisi pedaled her bicycle with all her might, as if wolves and tigers were chasing her.

As soon as Ji Sisi arrived home, Zhao Xiaowu ran out from the neighboring yard, "Aunt Sisi, my mom asked me to invite you to our house for dinner. She made lots and lots of meat today!"

Ji Sisi also smelled the aroma and, recalling what happened that morning, guessed that Sister Hongying must have cooked the rabbit meat.

"Okay, I'll be right there after I park the car."

Zhao Xiaowu stared at the large object in Ji Sisi's hand with a look of curiosity.

Hearing a noise from next door, Li Hongying sped up her cooking, stirring the rabbit meat and chili peppers in the pan with a spatula, filling the kitchen with a spicy and fragrant aroma.

Ji Sisi took Little Grey Grey out for a free meal.

Ji Nian appeared at the door, covered in sweat, carrying a large cloth bag and panting heavily.

Ji Nian looked at the clean courtyard. On one side was cultivated land, and the rest of the land was paved with neat stone slabs. There were also a few clotheslines in the spacious courtyard. Overall, it had a more lived-in feel than in her previous life.

In her previous life, she hadn't even had time to clean the courtyard when she received news of Qi Yan's death just a week later.

At that moment, she felt like the sky had fallen, and she was so immersed in grief that she had no heart to clean up these time-consuming and exhausting things.

Ji Nian put down her luggage and prepared to go in to find out what was going on, but found the door locked tight. Ji Sisi was nowhere to be seen either. There was only a car and her belongings in the yard.

She knocked on the door. "Ji Sisi, why are you locking the door?"

No one answered; a deathly silence fell.

That brat, how dare she leave her alone at home!
Ji Nian's anger was on the verge of exploding, so she took a deep breath to calm herself down.

After Ji Sisi finished eating and drinking, she helped Li Hongying wash the dishes before leisurely taking Little Grey Grey home.

Before even entering the door, Little Grey caught a whiff of an unfamiliar scent, rushed home at lightning speed, and growled as it charged straight at Ji Nian, who was dozing off by the door.

When Ji Nian opened her eyes, she met Little Grey's cute yet fierce gaze. Its bared teeth made it seem as if it was about to pounce and tear her apart at any moment.

Ji Nian let out a scream, startled by Little Grey and quickly backed away.

"Ah—get out, get out of here! Ji Sisi, tell this little beast to get out of here!"

Little Grey was also startled by Ji Nian's scream and stood still, turning around to look at Ji Sisi.

"Little Grey, a good dog doesn't block the way. Don't block me from opening the door."

Ji Sisi walked up to the wolf and the man, took out her key, and gestured for Ji Nian to move aside. Ji Nian slunk up from the ground, glaring resentfully at Ji Sisi.

"Where did you go? I came all this way to find you, and you just left me alone at the door and wouldn't let me in. What do you mean by that? You know I've had a long and tiring day!"

"Did I beg you to come?" Ji Sisi paused in her hand as she turned the key. She turned to meet the furious Ji Nian's gaze. "By the way, big sister, I've already eaten at Sister Hongying's house next door. Make yourself at home and don't be shy."

Actually, there wasn't a single vegetable at home; Ji Sisi said this on purpose to annoy Ji Nian.

Ji Sisi withdrew her gaze, pushed open the door, and went into the room.

"By the way, Ayan told me that family visits cannot exceed one week. I consider our relationship over the past ten years to be just so-so, not so good that I would beg my superiors to let you stay for a couple more days. So no matter what your purpose is for visiting, you must return to Jianghai after one week."

Ji Nian snorted and sat down on the sofa to rest, acting like the master of the house.

"I'm supposed to be your older sister, is this how you treat your guests? You leave me to go out and enjoy the good life, and then come back and have this little brat scare me!"

Ji Nian was so angry she wanted to bite her teeth. She could smell the meaty aroma emanating from Ji Sisi, and her stomach was rumbling loudly.

Only the thought of the better days to come calmed her anger somewhat.

"Don't worry, I might not even be here for a week. Don't beg me to take you back then."

She might marry Shiming in less than a week and then not live in this place.

When Shiming becomes successful, she can also live in a big house. Ji Nian began to look forward to a wonderful future.

"Watch your mouth, it's not some little beast. If you can't control your mouth, I won't be able to save you if you end up with a missing piece of flesh next time."

Ji Sisi naturally knew what Ji Nian was planning, so she turned around and tidied up her room for Ji Nian, while she moved to Qi Yan's room.

Seeing Ji Sisi moving things, Ji Nian was certain that the two of them hadn't slept together yet. Recalling that Ji Sisi was following in her footsteps in her previous life, she couldn't help but smile.
-
Ji Sisi had just finished washing up and sat down at her desk when someone banged on the door.

As soon as the door opened, Ji Nian bombarded him with questions: "Why is there no food at home? Don't you usually cook?"

"I'm not doing it. Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to rest."

Ji Nian kept glancing inside, trying to see what Ji Sisi was doing.

“We haven’t seen each other in a long time. I wanted to talk to you for a while. Besides, you still have your desk lamp on. What are you doing so late? I heard you found a job as a liaison officer in Huaihua Commune. Does the unit need more people?”

Ji Sisi: "..."

Ji Sisi finally understood; Ji Nian was after her job.

"I'm exhausted after a long day, and I have to get up early for work tomorrow. Let's talk about it later." With that, Ji Sisi slammed the door shut before Ji Nian could reply.

Ji Nian was humiliated, and her temper flared up instantly. She had lost count of how many times she had gotten angry today.
-
The next morning, Ji Sisi got up early, ate breakfast in her space, fed Little Grey, locked the room and kitchen doors, and set off on her bicycle.

When Ji Nian got up, she found that apart from the room she was in, all the other rooms and the kitchen had been locked by Ji Sisi.

Ji Nian was extremely annoyed; this bitch was actually treating her like a thief!

It must be Ji Sisi who stole things from the house. To avoid being discovered, she deliberately locked even the kitchen outside. Ji Nian prepared to find tools to pick the lock.

As soon as Ji Nian entered the kitchen, Little Grey, who was lying next to her, immediately barked at her.
