31 is not my sister won't recognize

  Manman sat in the kitchen with Chunxia picking vegetables, occasionally glancing at Chunxia.

  Seeing her wanting to speak but hesitating, Chu Xia was even more anxious, pretending to be slightly annoyed and glaring at her: "If you have something to say, spit it out quickly, I'm about to suffocate."

  What's wrong?

  This matter must be clarified.

  "When did you know he wasn't a vagrant?"

  Early summer, she saw the vines and slightly raised eyebrows, no blame, but more urging, couldn't help but pout: "He said it was for your own good, I also think that if this matter is known to the Wen family, it will not be beneficial to you or him."

  "I know about this, you don't tell him either, let's wait for him to tell me himself."

  Early summer relaxes and takes a deep breath.

  "What did he say about his family?" asked Manman.

  "He didn't even say it, but my husband and I would definitely ask clearly, otherwise how dare we be the matchmaker?" Chun Xia said with a smile, "He said his family, his father is a leader in the army, an officer at the division level, not a big or small unit. His whole family, brother, sister, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, are all working in the army."

  The whole family are comrades of the Liberation Army, with economic guarantees from the government, no worries about food and clothing, won't starve or freeze to death, and even when old, there's nothing to fear, with powerful protection in the imperial city, equivalent to a civil servant level.

  It's fair to say that Comrade Jiang Yan's family background can at least attract ordinary middle-class and below women, but a poor woman like Manman who has nothing is absolutely out of his league.

  "Look at you, my friend, as silent as a cat about to run away at any moment. I'm telling you, we can't have men with three no's, but if a man with three yes's is pursuing you and you don't want him, that's like having a pie fall from the sky and not eating it - you'll starve yourself! We're neither evil nor extremely kind, we're just ordinary wives who crave a good meal!"

  "Don't worry." Manman irritably pushed away her pointing finger, what's the hurry, she didn't say no to having three men, "Even if a single cent falls in front of me on the ground, I'll pick it up and hide it in my own pocket pretending not to know."

  "You're spirited!" Comrade Chunxia encouraged him straightforwardly.

  "But," said Miao slowly, "if a bag of gold was placed in front of you, would you pick it up?"

  "Pick up——" But after picking it up, the owner came to look for it. She didn't pick up the gold and wouldn't be guilty of theft. Early summer was entangled to death. You say this mouth of Manman's, how can she talk her way out of anything? Luckily, Manman's voice is soft and fluffy like a little sheep, easily deceiving people.

  "I think his family situation is still okay." Manman continued with a sentence that was both deadpan and full of life, "Compared to those two masters we saw, he's much better off."

  It would be strange if Xiang believed her: Manman, you obviously have your eyes on Jiang Dàshào and don't care about other men.

  "Manman, what do you like about him?" Chuxia asked secretly.

  "He wrote me a love letter." Manman said with a blush, "He was the first man to make me laugh."

  Growing up in a wealthy family, Manman rarely had the chance to truly laugh. She thought that having a man who was willing to make her laugh and be happy for a lifetime was the most important thing. If two people were together for a lifetime but often couldn't get along, what's the point?

  This is really true. In the early summer, I thought that with the same fifty yuan a day for food expenses, some couples could live comfortably, while others would quarrel all day at home because of this little money.

  "Right, I'll make a phone call." Manman suddenly remembered and wiped her hands on the apron before getting up.

  "Calling Chiang Da Shao?" Chu Xia smiled at her back.

  Turning back to Xia Xia in early summer: "No. I forgot to ask Mr. Yao about Xiao Dongzi yesterday, but he and A Yan are in the same class and can be asked on the same phone."

  Early summer smile can't be contained: Ah Yan, when did this title automatically upgrade?

  Manman herself seemed unaware of it, seriously dialing the phone number of their unit, and said: "Hello, I want to find Colonel Yao Ziye."

  He hung up and turned around, but the voice coming from the receiver was not Yao Ziye, but that cold-as-ice Comrade Jun: "Colonel Yao has left, who is this?"

  Manman was frozen into an ice stick on the spot.

  "Isn't it Yao Ziyi?" Chuxia stood behind her and curiously poked out her head.

  Manman couldn't cover the receiver in time, and Chunxia's voice came through the phone line directly to Junye.

  "Is it about returning those over three thousand?"

  How should I answer this? If I say no, others will think she doesn't intend to return the money. If I say yes, then it's clear that YAO Zi Ye said last time that there is no need for her to return the money.

  "Hello! Comrade PLA, you said we didn't have to pay back, now you're going back on your word, what do you mean?"

  He really didn't know about this, maybe it's because he just came back and Yao Ziye didn't have time to tell him. Jun Ye said coldly: "Just because he says don't pay back doesn't mean you guys don't need to pay back my money."

  This time it was Manman's turn to get angry, grabbing the phone: "How much do I owe you? Tell me."

  "Thirty-six."

  "What?!’ Chu Xiaohu shouted, ‘Don’t try to deceive us anymore! Your friend with a conscience has already told us that the more than 3,000 wasn’t put up by just one or two of you!’”

  "I only made a few hundred, but I have to roll over the interest, and when you calculate it, the amount isn't that much." Comrade Junye's meticulous calculation fully demonstrates the financial prowess of blacks.

  "You... " Panting heavily in early summer, "Are you a usurer? A gangster? Do you want me to report you to your unit?"

  Chu Xia shouted too loudly, and when Yao Zi Ye returned, he saw Lu Jun holding the microphone a foot away from himself, so Yao Zi Ye also heard what Chu Xia was shouting.

  Yao Ziye was surprised, and what's surprising is that Comrade Junye actually had the mind to joke with others. You know, Comrade Junye is the kind of person who makes jokes once every hundred years.

  "After the initial summer heat had passed, Comrade Junye's voice, devoid of pain or itchiness, concluded with a summary statement: 'Tell your friend to prepare the money in cash and bring it directly to me.'"

  "You see I won't go to the troops to tell you —" The loud voice of early summer was suddenly cut off by Jun Ye.

  "Back?" Lu Jun hung up the phone, his icy mask uncracked, it was hard to say if he was joking or not.

  Yao Ziye suddenly remembered and hastily said: "The money they owed, I told them last time that they didn't have to pay it back."

  "I know." Lu Jun said simply in three words.

  Yao Ziye's narrow and long eyes blinked, a thread of annoyance.

  "Where did you go today?"

  Yao Ziye took off his outer jacket and hesitated for a moment at the buttons before saying, "I've taken Uncle's specimen to the paternity testing center."

  "How can you be so sure it's her?" Yao Ziye went to retrieve Lu Siling's blood sample, how could Lu Jun not know? Yao Ziye didn't discuss it with him beforehand because the two of them had differing opinions on this matter.

  Yao Ziye knew he was in the wrong, Lu Jun had checked, and Manman's ID card showed that her birthdate was indeed two years different from Nannan's.

  "Zi Ye, don't be ridiculous, she's not my sister, I won't acknowledge her. Although I don't know what she did to you that made you suddenly care about her so much that you actually think she's Nang Nang!" After saying this harsh sentence, Lu Jun slammed the door and left.

  Lu Jun was shocked to find that his original impression of Manman was not bad, but he didn't expect her to start clinging to Yao Ziyi now. He wondered if she and Wen Mingzhu were in cahoots, thinking that pretending to be someone else was the real deal.

  Digression

  Comrade Junye, are you sure you won't regret what you've done today?
