Chapter 1076: Chapter 1076: Did They Get the Electricity and Water Bills Wrong?

"I have to say, Gu’s wife is smart," Shen Mianmian casually hinted, and she immediately knew where her strength lay, directly turning the tables and getting a firm grip on Gu Jianbin.

She had had enough of being aggrieved over the years. If Gu Jianbin continued like this, she truly couldn’t carry on living this way.

She was a college graduate and could earn quite a bit of money working, fearing not the prospect of earning a living on her own. She could support herself.

If Gu Jianbin couldn’t show some sincerity this time, she wouldn’t go on with this life.

Seeing that his wife was serious this time, Gu Jianbin was a bit scared, and since he actually didn’t want to live with Wang Erfeng either, he said, "Alright, alright, stop making a fuss. Starting from next month, I’ll let you manage my salary. I’ve also sent quite a lot of money back home these past two years; they won’t be short of money. We’ll stop sending money back for now."

Hearing this, Gu’s wife finally smiled happily, stopped insisting on going back, and went into the house to tidy up.

After Shen Mianmian and He Xiaobei finished collecting the rent, just as they reached the first floor, Gu’s wife’s voice came from behind, "Miss Shen, wait a moment."

Shen Mianmian turned around and saw her running down the stairs.

"What’s the matter?" Shen Mianmian asked, puzzled, "Did we miscalculate the electricity or the water bill?"

"No, no," Gu’s wife quickly shook her head and explained, "I want to thank you. If it weren’t for you just now, Jianbin would still be clueless. After all these years of marriage, I’ve always suffered from my mother-in-law’s ill-treatment. It was you who woke me up."

Shen Mianmian smiled faintly, "It’s because you stood up for yourself. If you hadn’t, no amount of prompting would have helped. You don’t need to thank me. I wasn’t doing it to help you. I genuinely don’t like Wang Erfeng. Besides, if she came, the constant bickering in your family would also affect the other residents."

Hearing Shen Mianmian say this, Gu’s wife was taken aback, then said, "Even so, I still want to thank you."

Her tone paused, and she then asked curiously, "Miss Shen, I’ve heard that you knew Jianbin before and had some conflicts with each other. In the past, I thought it was your fault, but now I realize that there are more problems with his family."

She had been to Gu Jianbin’s hometown and seen Gu Jianli’s photo, such a man, no normal woman would fancy, let alone Shen Mianmian.

Besides, it was Gu Jianli who drank pesticide and committed suicide; what did that have to do with Shen Mianmian?

Was it wrong just because she didn’t like Gu Jianli and refused to marry him?

Shen Mianmian said indifferently, "The innocent have nothing to hide."

Seeing Shen Mianmian seemed unwilling to elaborate, Gu’s wife didn’t keep her any longer, "Miss Shen, either way, I thank you for today. I know you both have a lot to handle, so I won’t bother you further."

Shen Mianmian nodded and walked away, leading He Xiaobei.

"Mom, why did you get involved with their family’s affair?" He Xiaobei was puzzled; in his memory, his mother was lazy, never liking to meddle in such messy trivial matters.

Nor did she like interfering in other people’s family affairs.

Shen Mianmian narrowed her eyes and smiled, "That’s something you wouldn’t understand, right? They live in our house, and making noise not only affects the other residents, but if they were to fight and injure each other, or something more serious were to happen, it could be bad for our house. So, it was necessary to prevent this from happening."

He Xiaobei considered this thoughtfully, "But that auntie mentioned you knew that uncle from before."
