Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 91 I am Battalion Commander Sheng's sister...

Fang Manping knocked on the door and went in, her gaze falling on Li Shuyao.

Li Shuyao is actually very beautiful, with a pure and gentle appearance. She gives people a gentle and easy-going feeling. For example, at this moment, Li Shuyao is holding a cat in her arms and feeding it.

From this perspective, it's a very warm and gentle scene.

Fang Manping thought that this might be the reason why Li Shuyao was so popular with so many elders in the compound. It wasn't just because of the Li family behind her, but also because Li Shuyao's feigned gentleness was very much in line with the standards of a matriarch of a large family.

Even her picky stepfather wanted Sheng Zexi to marry Li Shuyao.

Fang Manping knew that although her stepfather had been beating and scolding Sheng Zexi, his biological son, all these years, under her mother's instigation, he still valued Sheng Zexi the most in his heart.

Therefore, I also want to choose the most suitable wife for Sheng Zexi.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Zexi got married without his consent, and his stepfather only found out after he submitted the marriage application. He has kept the news a secret ever since, even after bringing his country wife to the Northwest Military Region to live with him, without letting the rest of the family know.

Fang Manping thought that if her stepfather found out, he would definitely be furious again.

"Mimi, come on, have another bite."

Li Shuyao's voice interrupted Fang Manping's thoughts. Coming back to her senses, she had already walked to Li Shuyao's side.

His gaze fell on the brown cat in Li Shuyao's arms, then looked at the food Li Shuyao was feeding the kitten in her bowl—it ​​was meat!
Fang Manping's face twitched. In this era where people can't even get enough to eat, let alone meat, Li Shuyao actually fed meat to a cat. It's true, people are worse off than cats.

Fang Manping remembered that this cat was Li Shuyao's cat, which she had raised for several years and whose name was Mimi.

Li Shuyao adores it and takes it with her wherever she goes to perform, feeding it herself.

I brought the same thing with me when I came to the Northwest Military Region this time.

"Yao Yao." Fang Manping suppressed her thoughts and called out.

Li Shuyao gave a nonchalant "hmm" without looking up, "You came here because you've already found out about that woman?"

Fang Manping: Is that all the value she has in Li Shuyao's eyes? Well, it seems so.

Fang Manping nodded and then recounted the information she had gathered about Gu Jianing from Peng Wenjing.

"You mean, she's very beautiful? Is she even more beautiful than me?" Li Shuyao looked coldly at Fang Manping, causing the latter to stiffen.

Fang Manping twitched the corner of her mouth. "It wasn't me who said it, it was Peng Wenjing and others who said it. But I think there's a lot of exaggeration in what they said. How could a country woman be that pretty? I guess she hasn't seen many city girls or girls from our art troupe, which is why she's chasing after a country girl."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuyao averted her gaze, clearly pleased with Fang Manping's words.

Just ...

"Does that woman know medicine?" Li Shuyao asked again.

"Yes, I heard she even performed a surgery that the hospital director couldn't do, and she has two prescriptions that the military plans to work with."

"I see..." Li Shuyao lowered her eyes and continued feeding Mimi, seemingly lost in thought.

"Why don't you find some time in the next couple of days to go and take a look in person?" Li Shuyao said after a while.

Fang Manping exclaimed, "Ah, do you want me to come over?"
But let alone Gu Jianing, even with Sheng Zexi, although they were nominally siblings, they weren't close. Back in the Sheng family, when she first married into the family with her mother, Fang Wanrong, she had tried to curry favor with Sheng Zexi.

But Sheng Zexi ignored her completely. He wasn't hostile, but he never treated her like family or a sister either; he treated her like a stranger.

"You are, after all, my sister. Since you're here, it's only right that I pay you a visit."

"How do you know what kind of woman she is if you see it for yourself?"

Fang Manping: Okay, Li Shuyao wants her to use this excuse to go to Gu Jianing's house and find out more about him.

Would she dare refuse? Of course not. Even though she was somewhat afraid of Sheng Zexi, she still agreed.

Li Shuyao hugged Mimi and immediately smiled, "Manping, my brother will have a vacation after the Spring Festival. I'll arrange for him to go to the movies with you then."

Fang Manping was taken aback at first, then overjoyed, and quickly smiled broadly, "Okay, Yao Yao, thank you."

Fang Manping knew that although Li Shuyao was aware of her feelings, she didn't think much of her.

Now that he's taking the initiative to matchmake her with Li Tingxuan, does that mean he's finally accepted her?
Although Fang Manping knew that a large part of the reason was that she had helped her find out about Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi, Fang Manping didn't care. She knew all too well that Li Shuyao was using her.

But so what.

The process doesn't matter, as long as the result is what she wants.
-
The next morning, Gu Jianing, who was on holiday for training, was still asleep when she faintly heard a knocking sound at the door.

"Who is it?" Gu Jianing murmured. Unwilling to get out of bed in winter, Gu Jianing didn't even open her eyes, pulled the blanket over her head, and pretended not to hear.

Fang Manping knocked on the door for a while, but heard no response from inside.

She couldn't help but frown. Could it be that the woman wasn't home at this time?

impossible.

She had specifically inquired about it beforehand. At this time, Sheng Zexi was at training, and only that woman was at home, so she deliberately chose this time to come.

Just as I was wondering whether to keep knocking or leave, the door next door suddenly opened and a woman came out.

The man looked her up and down, then asked, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

Zhang Shuwan was busy in the kitchen when she heard a series of knocks on the door next door. She was a little puzzled as to why they would come looking for Jia Ning at this time. After all, she, Yu's sister-in-law, Jiang Baihe, and others who knew her well knew that Gu Jia Ning liked to sleep in and was probably still sleeping at this hour.

Normally, they wouldn't choose this time to visit Gu Jianing.

Hearing the knocking continue for quite a while, Zhang Shuwan went out to see what was going on. To her surprise, it was a young woman dressed like a city dweller, but she was a complete stranger to her; she had never seen her in the military region before.

"Hello, sister-in-law. Is this where Battalion Commander Sheng Zexi and his wife live? I am Battalion Commander Sheng's sister. I came from Beijing yesterday with the cultural troupe."

Battalion Commander Sheng's sister?

Zhang Shuwan was taken aback. Did Battalion Commander Sheng have a younger sister?
To be honest, Zhang Shuwan wasn't very clear about it, and Gu Jianing had never mentioned it.

But since the girl said so, then it must be true.

Zhang Shuwan, who was on good terms with Gu Jianing, thought that this might be Gu Jianing's sister-in-law, and her attitude softened considerably. However, she still reminded her, "Your brother is probably at training right now, and your sister-in-law is probably not up yet. Why don't you come later?"
