He paused, then added another sentence.

"However, you are the one I feel most sorry for."

Shen Cunpu's lips curled up slightly.

He picked up a piece of meat and held it to Su Qingzhi's lips.

"Try it, how does it taste? Is it too salty or too bland?"

Su Qingzhi opened her mouth and took a bite.

She gave a thumbs-up in satisfaction.

"As expected of my husband, his cooking skills are truly superb."

Shen Cunpu couldn't hide his smugness.

"Whatever you like is fine."

Su Qingzhi's eyes sparkled.

"I love it so much, really."

Shen Cunpu felt a warmth in his heart, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up even higher.

Just as he was about to respond, he was interrupted by a sentence that Su Qingzhi suddenly uttered.

"I'm hungry, when can I eat?"

He immediately came to his senses.

"Go sit at the table, the dishes will be ready soon."

The last of the soup was still simmering in the pot, and the aroma had filled the entire room. He quickly walked over and lifted the lid. The steam rushed out and made his face flush red.

Su Qingzhi smiled, revealing two small dimples.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Yongmei returned from outside.

As soon as he entered, he grabbed Su Qingzhi and started chattering about the gossip he had just overheard.

"Hey, did you hear? Those two from the Fang family almost got into a fight today!"

"Guess what? All over a salted fish! Liu Yuelan insisted that Fang Mingyu was hiding money, and the two of them started arguing. The whole compound could hear them!"

"Those two sworn enemies, they've forced themselves together, there's going to be some drama to watch later."

Jiang Yongmei wiped away the tears that came out of her laughter.

Su Qingzhi responded cooperatively.

"Yes, Auntie, life in the compound will definitely be less lonely from now on."

Just then, Shen Cunpu brought out the last dish.

He looked up and saw his mother and Su Qingzhi sitting together, chatting and laughing.

Seeing how well they got along, he felt relieved.

Shen Cunpu trained every day, and whenever he had free time, he would go home and cook for Su Qingzhi.

He had always hoped to marry her as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Liu Yuelan's days were becoming increasingly difficult.

She originally thought she could turn her life around by marrying Fang Mingyu.

But reality was like a bucket of cold water, poured over him from head to toe.

Hu Meili knew she was getting married and forced her to return the bride price she had taken from the Li family.

She stood in the doorway, hands on her hips.

"You stole my family's money, and you still want to get married comfortably? Dream on!"

She threatened Liu Yuelan.

If she doesn't pay back the money, she'll tell Fang Mingyu about how she slept with Li Hong back then.

"Don't think I don't know! I saw you go into his room with my own eyes that night, and you came out with your hair all messed up!"

How much money does Liu Yuelan have left?

She had already squandered most of the dowry.

The rest were hidden elsewhere; they dared not take them out at all.

But she was also afraid that Hu Meili would really expose the scandal.

With a sudden, hardened thought: I might as well just kill this mother and daughter and be done with it.

Anyway, she's not inexperienced; she even dared to kill Su Qingzhi from the original world.

A minor character in a book, no one would care if he died.

She put on a pitiful look.

"Sister, give me some more time. Once I get married and have money, I will definitely pay you back every penny."

Hu Meili left with some doubt.

As Liu Yuelan watched her departing figure, a cold smile slowly crept onto her lips.

Before we knew it, the wedding day arrived.

Early in the morning, Su Qingzhi sat quietly in front of her dressing table.

She took out cosmetics from her portable "space" and put on a light makeup.

Shen Cunpu also got up early and carefully tidied his appearance.

They didn't go through the complicated wedding procession, nor did they care about extravagance.

After all, they are both simple people who don't like to show off.

They set up six or seven tables in their own yard and hired a master chef to cook.

I only invited a few close relatives and friends to have a meal.

Captain Zhang and his wife arrived together, their faces beaming with joy.

They gave me a brand new three-layer aluminum pot ^_^.

Sister-in-law Zhang even knitted matching sweaters by hand.

She smiled and said, "It's getting cold, so this is perfect to wear. Don't mind my rough handiwork."

Sister Luo and Sister Wu brought homemade snacks and food.

Sister Luo carried a basket of red dates and peach crisps, saying they were homemade.

Although the gifts were not expensive, each one was full of heartfelt sentiment.

"Oh dear, I've come at just the right time."

A slightly hoarse female voice came from the doorway.

Su Qingzhi was startled when she heard the familiar voice.

She turned around and was surprised to see Grandma Lu.

Grandma Lu stood at the door, holding Lu Jiaping's hand and smiling broadly.

A young guard in military uniform was standing next to him.

It was obvious that Deputy Commander Lu had specially sent them to bring them here.

"Grandma Lu!"

Su Qingzhi quickly ran over to greet her.

What brings you here?

Her voice was full of surprise and emotion.

Grandma Lu pretended to be angry and pouted.

"You silly girl, if Xiao Jiang hadn't told me beforehand, I wouldn't have known you were getting married today."

"Such a big thing, and you didn't even tell us? Do you really think we're outsiders?"

At this moment, Jiang Yongmei also came over.

"Grandma Lu, you're too kind. You even made a special trip all the way from Ancheng."

She handed the tea over.

"It's dozens of miles round trip, and it's not convenient to take a car. You've really gone through a lot of trouble."

Grandma Lu handed over what she was carrying; it was a bamboo gift box.

Her tone was firm.

"My grandson's savior is getting married, how can I not attend?"
