Gu Jiaojiao was speechless.
’Is she serious about being neighbors?’
She remembered there was quite a distance from the village entrance to her place. It would take a good ten minutes to walk, so if anything happened over here, Xu Wenwan wouldn’t be able to see a thing.
’How could that be considered neighbors?’
However, Gu Jiaojiao didn’t expose Xu Wenwan’s lie.
She was very interested in Xu Wenwan’s system. She hadn’t had a chance to get close to it before, and now that an opportunity was presenting itself, she certainly wouldn’t refuse.
Gu Jiaojiao almost immediately pulled Leng Yuan behind her, clearing the doorway to let Xu Wenwan in.
This was Xu Wenwan’s first time inside Leng Yuan’s courtyard.
The moment she walked in, her gaze was captivated by the small yard.
The entire yard was swept clean. It was large, with six neatly built rooms: two main rooms in the center facing south, two on the east side, one on the west, and an additional shed. Beneath the shed, firewood was stacked tidily. Next to it, a wooden door led to the private plot of land behind the house.
On the south side, by the main gate, there was a room to the left and two latrines behind it.
A wooden board was placed over the latrines, covered with a stack of thatch, offering protection from wind and snow.
Such a large courtyard, even bigger than Village Chief Xu’s.
In front of the shed, there was also a well with a stone laundry platform built next to it, which would make washing clothes incredibly convenient.
Xu Wenwan couldn’t help but compare it to the courtyard she lived in. Her house had only three rooms and no well. For drinking water, she had to fetch it from the village’s central well, and she had to go to the river to do laundry.
She thought everyone lived like that, but seeing the life Gu Jiaojiao had, she immediately felt a pang of resentment.
Seeing Xu Wenwan standing there in a daze, Gu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but speak.
"Let’s go into this room."
Only then did Xu Wenwan hide the resentment on her face and follow Gu Jiaojiao into Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang’s room.
Because the room had been partitioned, the outer area had been tidied up to serve as a living room for receiving guests.
Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang were very diligent, so the room was also kept very clean.
As soon as Xu Wenwan entered the room, she began to look around everywhere.
The more she looked, the unhappier she became. Her own marital room only had two large wardrobes, but this room of Gu Jiaojiao’s had four.
They even had simple carvings on them, making them look much more high-end.
The arrangement of the room was also quite tasteful. Both the tables and stools gave off a refined feeling.
She couldn’t help but speak.
"These things are so beautiful. It must have cost a lot of money to make so many!"
She knew that Leng Yuan’s future achievements would be extraordinary, and she knew he had a job and could earn money. But Gu Jiaojiao shouldn’t be spending it so extravagantly!
Gu Jiaojiao chuckled lightly. "We made all of these ourselves. They didn’t cost any money."
Xu Wenwan felt even more sour.
Originally, Leng Yuan was the man Gu Jiaojiao could never have. But because something went wrong with the plot, a twist of fate had somehow led to Gu Jiaojiao marrying him.
’Gu Jiaojiao’s luck is just too good.’
From the moment Xu Wenwan entered the courtyard, she was filled with jealousy. The system noticed these thoughts and was speechless.
"What is there to be jealous about?"
"Hurry up and absorb Leng Yuan’s fortune!"
The system was dying of anxiety.
Xu Wenwan pursed her lips. Having been bound to the system for so long, she had also learned how to block her own thoughts from it. She usually didn’t block the system, only doing so when she was pondering about it.
She hadn’t blocked it just now, which was why the system could see what she was thinking.
She knew the system was anxious, but she wasn’t in a hurry at all.
"Leng Yuan isn’t even here, so what’s the rush? You want me to charge out, forcibly grab him, and absorb his luck? Then I’d just expose myself as abnormal and have people come and capture me, is that it?"
