Chapter 1423: Chapter 1431: The Old Iron Tree Produces Vinegar

”Not at all, the topic has gotten even hotter,” Peter Gingery said with a smile that was up to no good, ”The whole net is sending blessings for you and your Mr. Carter to be happily ever after.”

Jane Sampson felt like she was about to spit blood, the turns of events were nothing like what she had thought about before sleep last night.

Jane Sampson went back into the bedroom to put on her coat and then dragged Peter Gingery out, ”No way, I need to go hide somewhere first. During the New Year, it’s not good to provoke his anger. If he doesn’t see me, he won’t get angry. I’ll just give him a bit more time to cool down before I go back and coax him.”

”You make it sound so reasonable that I’m actually speechless,” Peter Gingery said as Jane Sampson dragged him all the way to the doorway.

Just as Jane Sampson bent down to put on her shoes, James Black suddenly walked out from the kitchen.

Standing at the kitchen door, he stared at the two people at the gate entrance with a sinister voice, ”Preparing to go somewhere?”

”...” Jane Sampson’s mouth twitched slightly, ”Just taking a walk, stretching my ligaments.”

”Let’s eat something first and then go out together,” James Black said as he walked out, took Jane Sampson’s hand, and pulled her back inside, ”Didn’t you say last night that you wanted dumplings this morning? I just put the pot on, it’s about ready to eat.”

Jane Sampson’s smile was one of forced strength, she turned her head toward Peter Gingery, who was standing dumbly at the door, and made faces, signaling for help.

Peter Gingery, that idiot, was like he had a signal blocker, completely ignoring the situation, and even followed happily back inside without saying a word.

James Black pressed Jane Sampson onto the dining chair and suddenly said, ”Regarding the Twitter stuff, after today, I’ll settle the account with you tomorrow.”

After speaking, James Black rubbed Jane Sampson’s head, turned around, and went back into the kitchen.

It was then that Peter Gingery leaned over and whispered to Jane Sampson, ”Getting angry during the New Year might not be good. The old cadre thinks the first day of the New Year should be harmonious, not suitable for settling accounts.”

”...” She knew, she truly understood what James Black meant, she really didn’t need Peter Gingery delighting in her misfortune acting as her translator.

”Do you know what my brother’s face looked like when I just came in? Can you imagine the atmosphere of the phrase ’dark clouds loom overhead’? Right, it’s like the brooding storm clouds before a storm hits, pretty scary,” Peter Gingery shook his head gently, ”As if it’s not enough for an iron tree to bloom, but now it’s brewing vinegar too, tsk tsk, terrifying.”

”If jealousy could turn into flames, my brother’s jealousy towards your Mr. Carter could probably burn bright enough to form a sun,” Peter Gingery’s cold water poured out nonstop, as if it didn’t cost him a penny.

When James Black brought out the dumplings from the kitchen and saw Peter Gingery still there, he placed the bowl in front of Jane Sampson and turned to ask Peter Gingery, ”Aren’t you leaving?”

Peter Gingery: ”...”

No wonder they could become a loving couple.

The shamelessly lingering Peter Gingery managed to leech off a bowl of dumplings as a morning snack at James Black’s place. Just as Jane Sampson was eating the overcooked dumplings made by James Black, contemplating how to coax him about the Twitter thing, there came a knock at the door.

”Bro, you guys sit down, I’ll go open it, I’ll go!” Peter Gingery volunteered eagerly and ran to the door. After opening it, he shouted towards the inside, ”Bro, it’s Liam Woody.”

Then Peter Gingery led Liam Woody in. Jane Sampson raised her head towards the new arrival, waved, and chuckled with a grin, ”Instructor, happy New Year!”

”Sister-in-law,” Liam Woody was dazzled by Jane Sampson’s smile, feeling that it was somewhat ill-intentioned.

”By the way, this early in the morning, are you looking for my brother for something?” Peter Gingery didn’t stand on ceremony with Liam Woody, sat back down, and started slurping up the dumplings in his bowl, quickly finishing them off.
