After Transmigration, She Sold Herself to a Man as a Wife

Chapter 143

"Harming others eventually harms oneself."

After listening to what Hu Jun said, Luo Ge only uttered this one sentence.

Yes, this was indeed a case of harming others and eventually harming oneself.

No one else could be blamed, it could only be said that it served them right.

"Yes, indeed." Hearing Luo Ge's words, Hu Jun nodded, his eyes looking at the charcoal-grilled hot pot on the table.

"Sister-in-law, can this be eaten now? How did you come up with this idea? Although I haven't tried it yet, the aroma smells really tempting."

Hearing his words, Gu Jinchen shamelessly smacked his eager hand.

"What's the rush, not everyone has arrived yet. Come help me wash the vegetables."

Hu Jun acquiesced, thinking he shouldn't have come so early. Nevertheless, he obediently followed Gu Jinchen to help wash the vegetables.

Today was the housewarming party for Luo Ge and her family, or rather, just a gathering with friends to warm up their new home.

It couldn't really be called a banquet, as they had only invited close friends and relatives.

Just like the family of Sister-in-law Wang, Mr. Xu and his grandson, the village chief's family, as well as Li Qiao and his wife, and Hu Jun, making up two tables in total.

Hot pot is perfect for winter, so during this free time, Luo Ge figured out how to do a charcoal-grilled hot pot.

She had previously filmed a video of a charcoal-grilled hot pot and kept the pot in her space. Then she took it out and asked people to help make a few more pots following the example.

She planned to try adding hot pot to the menu at the restaurant in the future, to test the waters.

Although beef was strictly controlled by the officials at this time and couldn't be eaten, fish and mutton were allowed, and making hot pot with these two ingredients wasn't bad either.

She quite enjoyed poached fish slices, as well as pig's stomach and meatballs, which could also be added.

"Jinchen."

Li Qiao had just entered and saw Gu Jinchen and Hu Jun busy preparing, so he didn't idle about and went to help after settling his wife.

Gathering with friends, it would definitely taste better if they prepared it themselves.

"You're here."

"Yeah, what's this?"

One by one, as they entered and saw the hot pot, they all had obvious curiosity.

"Good stuff, you'll know once you've tried it."

As the men were busy working, the two pregnant women avoided the hassle and started chatting.

"Luo Ge, how have you been feeling lately? Is your lower back aching? I haven't been sleeping as well as before during this period, and my lower back often feels sore."

Seeing Luo Ge, Qin Mianmian sighed.

She was now over seven months pregnant, and her lower back often felt sore and uncomfortable.

Seeing her unconsciously rubbing her lower back, Luo Ge helped massage it for her.

"I'm alright, no soreness, but I still enjoy sleeping as much as before."

"That's good then, but you should still take care of yourself since you're pregnant too."

"Yeah, I know my dear Mianmian, you keep saying it so often that my ears are starting to grow calluses."

Hearing her reminder, Luo Ge stuck out her tongue.

Qin Mianmian raised an eyebrow, pretending to be furious: "Really? You're looking down on me now?"

Due to Gu Jinchen previously always going to Li Qiao to 'learn from experience', the two women gradually became familiar with each other as well.

Add to that their shared experience of being pregnant, and they had common topics to discuss. They would often go for walks and exercise together.

Qin Mianmian was just like her name implied - a soft and fluffy girl on the outside, but her true nature was even more fiery than Ma Feng Auntie.

"No, no, how could I dare?" Seeing Luo Ge's reaction, Qin Mianmian couldn't help but laugh too.

Hearing the commotion, the two men also exchanged a smile, but Li Qiao seemed to remember something and became upset again, secretly poking Gu Jinchen's waist with his hand.

"Smack!"

"What are you doing! Only my wife can touch my waist, don't mess with me." Gu Jinchen pushed his hand away in disgust.

Such a girly action for a grown man.

"Aren't we brothers anymore? I can't even poke you a little?" So he's just like his wife, looking down on him too, how frustrating.

"We're brothers, but you still can't poke me." Gu Jinchen said, eyeing him again. "What's wrong? Is your wife annoyed with you?"

"!!" Li Qiao's eyes lit up, "You know? Could it be that your wife looks down on you too?" Hearing Gu Jinchen's words, Li Qiao was delighted. Perhaps his brother had the same experience, so he was happy.

Good brother, "sharing hardships" indeed!

However, Gu Jinchen's words were like pouring a bucket of cold water on him: "No, I can do laundry, cook, take care of my wife, raise kids, and make money. Why would my wife look down on me?"

"I could tell from the look on your face."

He had never seen anything that could make Li Qiao make that kind of expression, except for his wife, so he just casually asked.

Li Qiao: "......" But he could do all those things too, what's there to be proud of?

"Sigh, then what should I do?" Li Qiao inched closer to Gu Jinchen again, whispering in a pitiful tone, "I haven't been able to get intimate for eight days."

"What? Brother, you can't perform? You haven't been able to be intimate for eight days!"

Before Gu Jinchen could insult Li Qiao, Hu Jun couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Qiao hurriedly stood up and covered his mouth. He had just been slicing fish, and now Hu Jun's face was covered in fish juice.

"Damn! Yuck!"
