Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Bai Fanglan Celebrates New Year

"Sister Bai, don’t rush. It’s rare for us to meet, let me treat you to a meal." Sun Lijuan said with a smile.

Bai Fanglan was annoyed, why act so close? Who’s your sister!

But seeing her mother-in-law selling dates nearby, she didn’t want her to notice her losing her temper.

She said, "No, it’s almost New Year, I’m too busy. Maybe next time."

"Big sister, to be honest, I want to know where my sister lives now?" Sun Lijuan said with a smile, "You know, the relationship between my sister and me is not good. She doesn’t like me, but I don’t want us sisters to lose contact, right? I still want to see her."

Bai Fanglan felt a stir in her heart, this woman was clearly looking to cause trouble for Sun Chan!

If it means troubling Sun Chan, then it’s a good thing!

Sun Lijuan saw her expression and secretly rejoiced. With this woman, I can find trouble for Sun Chan. If I’m not doing well, I definitely won’t let you do well!

Bai Fanglan said with a smile, "I don’t know where Sun Chan lives, but I’ve heard she’s running a fruit stall now. Seems like it’s near the train station?"

Sun Lijuan said, "I see, thank you, I’ll go and find her. Next time I’ll treat you to a meal." Seeing Bai Fanglan’s dislike for her, she quickly and tactfully took her leave.

Bai Fanglan and her mother-in-law bought dates and a bunch of things, then headed home walking instead of taking a vehicle.

When they got home, before even catching a breath, Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "Let’s eat a little first, then wrap frozen dumplings. Also need to prepare chicken, duck, fish, and meat, remove scales and freeze the fish, there’s some cleaning, mopping to do. So much before the New Year, hard work until the New Year’s Eve, then we can rest. The maid has gone home for the holidays, otherwise, it wouldn’t be so tiring."

Seeing there was still so much work after a busy morning, Bai Fanglan bit her lip without speaking, her face darkened.

Even after New Year’s Eve I can’t rest, still need to accompany visits to relatives. I don’t know how the Wang Family has so many relatives! Ugh, I’m gonna go crazy at this rate.

Bai Fanglan thought for a moment and said with a smile, "My grandfather will be alone during the New Year, I want to go see him. His leg isn’t good. Though I said it’s busy here, he keeps calling, not visiting isn’t right..."

Mrs. Wang, upon hearing this, said with a smile, "In that case, visit him in the afternoon."

"Alright. I’ll try to come back early to help you with work."

Mrs. Wang thought, is this work helping me?

Bai Fanglan hurriedly tidied up, put on her coat, and left. When she returned to the Bai Family, she didn’t have time to say much to her grandfather, she went straight to the bedroom and slept.

Bai Chuan frowned, is she exhausted? Being someone’s wife always ends up this way, this child really doesn’t understand. But then again, the Wang Family hasn’t treated Bai Fanglan, the new daughter-in-law, well either, so forget it, can’t interfere.

Mrs. Wang understood she had escaped, smiled a bit helplessly, people say having a daughter-in-law makes things easier, but still need to do things yourself.

She didn’t expect to complain, but at that moment Wang Hu called.

Bai Fanglan helped in the kitchen, the family of four simply ate, rested, didn’t keep watch for the New Year.

Wang Hu went to the study to discuss things with Father Wang, Bai Fanglan went upstairs to rest.

She lay in bed, couldn’t help but cry. She wanted to go home, but Bai Chuan had gone to the provincial capital and told her, from now on the Wang Family is her home. She wasn’t allowed to return casually.

Bai Fanglan stared at the ceiling, silently shedding tears at first, then bit the corner of the quilt and cried, her shoulders shaking. Her husband doesn’t like her, has no feelings for her, this cold home gives her face in front of others but what else does it offer?

Her husband hasn’t even entrusted her with managing his salary. Won’t speak a word to her.

She thought of Gu Junming, how he cared for Sun Chan, vividly remembered, something she could never have in this life. Thinking about it made her hate Sun Chan even more, if it weren’t for that seductress enticing Gu Junming, she wouldn’t be in this unfortunate position!

In her subconscious, Bai Fanglan resolutely refused to admit that Gu Junming didn’t like her, but felt given time she had a chance, all because Sun Chan snatched him away.

When Wang Hu went upstairs, Bai Fanglan was already asleep.

He saw Bai Fanglan’s swollen eyes, pillow damp, froze in place.

She cried during the New Year? Wang Hu felt somewhat guilty. He indeed was too harsh on Bai Fanglan. Though he didn’t like her, turning a good girl into this felt quite regrettable.

He didn’t say anything, took off his clothes, lay beside her. He reached out several times but couldn’t bring himself to embrace her. Finally, turned over and slept.
