Yan Xia waved her hand, telling him to hurry back and be with his wife.

But the next second, the long-absent system voice sounded again.

[Target person detected]

Name: Chen Jinlu

Age: 15

[Affection Level: 100]

[The host has been awarded 100 points.]

I've successfully seduce two people, and I've got two million!

Yan Xia was slightly happy.

Jinlu's eyes were a little sore when he returned to his room.

It felt like sand had been blown into my head by the wind, and I couldn't help but burst into tears.

Jinlu understood, of course; he was just complaining because he felt sorry for his mother's money.

His mother worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk to help him get married, spending vast sums of money.

Mother is so good.

He will be a good son to his mother for the rest of his life, because he can never repay her for what he owes her.

"Husband, what's wrong? Are you worried about the money? Don't worry, my mother didn't ask for any dowry. She took it all back to my husband's family. Here, take it back to you."

Wang Jingshui pulled a purse from under her buttocks and handed it to Jin Lu.

“Keep it, consider it your private savings, but from now on, all the money in the house will be managed by your mother, understand? We are a family. Now that you've married into the family, your elder brother and sister-in-law, your mother, and my sisters are also your family. As long as you treat them well, they will treat you well in return.”

Jinlu's voice was very gentle.

He sat down next to Wang Jingshui and slowly taught her, then told her about the personalities and preferences of everyone in the family one by one.

"I'll make breakfast with you for Mom tomorrow morning."

There is a custom here that the bride must prepare breakfast as a test of her diligence and filial piety.

"No need, husband, you should sleep a little longer. My mother told me that I should be diligent after I marry into my husband's family. I will take good care of my mother-in-law."

Wang Jingshui's carefree and easygoing demeanor is a stark contrast to Zhu Wenjuan's.

But now Jinlu seems to prefer this outspoken personality.

Gentle girls are nothing but man-eating wolves, the kind that don't even spit out the bones.

On the contrary, the shrewish woman had once saved him.

return....

She was so foolish as to marry him without hesitation, wanting nothing but his good looks.

“Husband, let’s sell the wedding dress. It’s too expensive. It would be such a waste to wear it only once and then put it in the closet.”

Wang Jingshui touched the clothes she was wearing, and she liked them very much.

Last night, her mother-in-law personally delivered the wedding dress to her door, saying that she bought it from a tailor shop and specially made it for her to wear on her wedding day. She also said that since her sister-in-law had one, she also had one.

"No need, keep it as a memento. It's a token of my mother's affection."

Yan Xia has revealed her savings to her children.

Therefore, Jinlu knew that his family was not short of money for the time being.

"Husband, Mother is so kind. I've never worn such fine clothes in my life. Oh! By the way, here's three taels of silver for you, husband."

Wang Jingshui then took out a patched cloth bag from her sleeve.

He took out three taels of silver from it.

"This is?"

Jin Lu asked, puzzled.

"My dowry... Since you gave me the betrothal gifts, I'll give you my dowry in return. How about we exchange them?"

Wang Jingshui's face was very delicate and petite, with a pair of upturned phoenix eyes under her lightly arched eyebrows. Logically speaking, such a appearance would make a person look sharp and aloof, but she looked at Jin Lu with affection, and her moist eyes added a touch of gentleness. Jin Lu was stunned for a second before taking the silver.

He put the three taels of silver into the cabinet, locked it, and replied softly.

"good."

The sun went off duty, and the moon took over its job, gradually shrouding Baihua Village in night.

In the bridal chamber, Jinlu blew out the red candles and embraced his wife as they fell asleep.

After tonight.

The two became husband and wife in name and in fact.

Jin Lu completely kicked Zhu Wenjuan out of his heart.

As dawn broke, Yan Xia finally got up. She was exhausted from a busy day yesterday. As soon as she stepped out of the house, she saw Jin Lu and Jing Shui busy in the kitchen.

"Mom, breakfast will be ready soon, please go wash up."

Jing Shui saw her mother-in-law get up and immediately said something.

"Jingshui, you and Jinlu should sleep in a little longer. You must be exhausted from yesterday's wedding. We don't have these kinds of rules in our family. Next time, we can take turns making breakfast, so you don't have to get up so early, okay?"

Yan Xia smelled the aroma of meat.

I guess those two kids got up before dawn to cook.

He's quite filial.

Especially since Jinlu didn't sleep in and even helped his wife make breakfast, showing how much he cares for Jingshui, it seems he took my advice to heart yesterday.

Yan Xia nodded in satisfaction.

Her daughter-in-law seems fine in every way, except she's too love-struck. Luckily, she married into her family. With her mother-in-law managing Jinlu, the daughter-in-law's life won't be too bad. If she had married into another family, she would have had a miserable life.

Yan Xia was a little scared. She had two daughters, and she hoped they wouldn't be blinded by love.

We need to strengthen education in the future.

After making a decision in her heart, she brushed her teeth and washed her face. Only after the whole family had filled the room did she begin to eat.

This morning I had rice and lean meat porridge, egg and meat patties, and stir-fried shredded pork with chili peppers.

The meat porridge was probably cooked by Jinlu; it was a bit thick. He doesn't like thin porridge, so he always adds less water when cooking it.

The egg and meat patties and the stir-fried pork with chili peppers were probably made by the younger daughter-in-law.

The saltiness was just right, but the chili peppers and shredded meat were cut into uneven lengths. The taste wasn't particularly delicious, but it wasn't bad either.

"Mmm~ Delicious. Jingshui's cooking is excellent. I really like the breakfast you made today. Jinlu is also good. He didn't sleep in and helped Jingshui make breakfast. I'm very pleased. Our family is different from others. Now that you've married into the family, I'll treat you like my own daughter. Jinlu, you must treat Jingshui well and don't bully her, okay? We're all family. I hope you two will stay together for life and be happy until you grow old. Xiaohe, you and Jinfu will be the same. I hope our big family will prosper more and more in the future."

With symbolic encouragement, she, as the matriarch, offered a few more words of advice.

Name: Wang Jingshui

[Affection Level: 90]

Hearing the system's report in her mind, Yan Xia's smile deepened.

With another daughter-in-law, there's another target to pursue.

It seems her money wasn't wasted.

As the world's biggest penny-pincher, Yan Xia has really been spending money like crazy lately.

After breakfast, she took Jinfu and Guihua to town as usual.

Yan Xia had notified all her customers that the shop was closed yesterday, and worried that some people would come for nothing, she specially posted a sign on the door saying "Closed for one day" when she closed the shop.

As soon as she arrived at the shop, she peeled off the paper.

The flower cakes are back on the shelves, and the response has been even better than before.

It seems everyone thinks flower jam tastes better.

The mother and daughter were busy as bees.

The weather was hot, and even in the morning, the dryness was enough to make them sweat profusely.

During the lunch break, Yan Xia was too hot to sleep, so she asked Jin Fu to go to the end of the bridge to buy a watermelon to quench her thirst.

It's watermelon season now, and vendors selling watermelons can be seen everywhere.
