Chapter 31 refuted

"Sister-in-law Chunmei is here?" Sheng Fenghua quickly smiled and said, "Take a seat first; I'm going to dry my clothes."

When Li Chunmei saw Sheng Fenghua's smiling face, she immediately appeared as if she had seen a ghost. When she heard her call her Sister-in-law Chunmei again, she was even more shocked.

Did she see wrongly? Was this person really Sheng Fenghua? Why did she feel like the sun had risen from the west?

"Well, I came to see you."

Being swept by Si Zhanbei's sharp eyes, Li Chunmei quickly withdrew her shocked gaze and walked to the living room's sofa to sit down.

Sheng Fenghua carried her clothes to the corridor and started drying them while Si Zhanbei poured a glass of water for Li Chunmei.

While waiting for Sheng Fenghua to finish her chores, Li Chunmei was a little bored. Yet, she didn't dare to speak to Si Zhanbei. After all, she was still a bit embarrassed after being caught saying those words at the door.

Hence, after she picked up the glass and drank a mouthful of water, she looked around the entire living room.

Speaking of which, it wasn't her first time entering the Si Family's living room. When Sheng Fenghua first arrived, she had come once with other military wives. But at that time, she had thought that Sheng Fenghua was a lazy person because the living room was too messy.

But now, it seemed that the place had been tidied up very skillfully. The things were arranged well, and the decorations were neat. At a glance, it was obvious that it was easy on the eyes.

This made her very surprised. Believing that Si Zhanbei had cleaned it up, she asked, "Battalion Commander Si, you're quite good at tidying up. Look at how fresh this living room is. If my husband could be like you, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

Li Chunmei's husband, Song Cheng, had never liked to do housework. Even if the oil bottle in the house fell, he would not bother to pick it up.

It was conceivable that after Li Chunmei suspected that Si Zhanbei was the one who cleaned up the living room, her heart was filled with jealousy and hatred.

However, Si Zhanbei shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law misunderstood. Fenghua is the one who cleaned up the house."

"What? It can't be?" Li Chunmei's face was full of surprise, and her voice rose an octave.

At this moment, Sheng Fenghua came in after drying her clothes and asked, "What can't be?"

"No, it's nothing," Li Chunmei replied quickly, not wanting to bring this matter up. Unfortunately, Si Zhanbei would not let her get what she wanted.

Previously, he had yet to settle the matter of Sheng Fenghua falling down the stairs with her. On top of that, just now at the door, he caught her scolding Sheng Fenghua for being deaf.

Adding up the two debts, it would not be so easy.

So, he looked at Sheng Fenghua and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Chunmei doesn't believe that you're the one who cleaned up this place."

"What's the big deal? I still do things like tidying up and doing housework. Sister-in-law Chunmei, don't tell me you think that I'm an idle person who doesn't know how to do anything?"

Sheng Fenghua sat down opposite to Li Chunmei and spoke up against her. Humph, her predecessor was just a soft bag, but she wasn't. Her predecessor might have a temper of enduring everything, but she wouldn't do that.

"Look at what you're saying! How could that be?" Li Chunmei's face burned up. Even if she thought so in her heart, she didn't dare to admit it in front of the husband and wife.

Sheng Fenghua smiled as if she hadn't seen Li Chunmei's awkwardness and pressed further, "By the way, Sister-in-law Chunmei, why did you come to my humble abode?"

"I heard that you were discharged from the hospital, so I came to see you." Li Chunmei explained her purpose of coming. In fact, her main goal was to probe Sheng Fenghua and see if she would make her take responsibility.

Hearing that Li Chunmei came to see her, Sheng Fenghua showed a grateful look and said, "Thank you, Sister-in-law. You missed me so much!"

"Of course, of course." Li Chunmei was smiling, but when she heard Sheng Fenghua's words, the smile on her face suddenly froze.
