Xi Ran looked at Chu Jiangyi with suspicion, feeling that this stinky man had ill intentions.

"Don't get any bad ideas, or you'll face the family rules."

Chu Jiang raised an eyebrow. He hadn't done anything wrong, so was it necessary to use family discipline?

Besides, it's just the two of them in the room, so he'll be the one making all the decisions.

"Don't make it sound so serious. Using family discipline can hurt feelings."

"I don't think it hurts feelings at all; I think it's fine."

Chu Jiang also muttered to himself, "Kneeling on a washboard is no good at all."

He didn't know what his mother was thinking, that she would help Xi Ran against her own son. He even doubted whether he was his mother's biological son.

He was helpless; his mother always sided with outsiders.

He must have gotten it as a free gift with a phone top-up.

Waaah!

This is the first time I've seen a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law standing together, ganging up on their own son.

well! ! !

He has such a miserable life!

He used to live at the bottom of the food chain at home, thinking that he could get rid of this tragic fate after getting married and that his status in the family would rise. But he didn't expect that his status would remain unchanged, or even be worse than before. It's so heartbreaking!

Old Chu used to comfort and reassure him, but after he got married, he changed and believed that old man was destined to lose.

Although he was at the very bottom of the family's food chain, there was a way to break it, and he was very curious about what that way was.

Old Chu, without batting an eye, spouted nonsense with a straight face. Sigh, now when I think back on the past, it's all a bitter pill to swallow.

He's having a really tough time!

Even if he gets married, there is no room for improvement in his status within the family.

He tragically discovered that he was still at the very bottom of the food chain, and might never be able to move from his nest in his entire life.

Suddenly, Chu Jiang seemed to understand something.

As long as He Xiran gives birth to a child, wouldn't his problem be solved?

Once his and Xi Ran's son is born, won't this shortcoming be solved?

Even if a son is ranked at the bottom of the family hierarchy, his status at least rises by one level, even if he doesn't rise much.

Later, Chu Jiang also discovered a cruel fact: there is a kind of blood relationship called grandparental affection, and even if he gave birth to a miniature version of himself, he would still not be as popular as his son.

Chu Jiang was almost questioning his existence.

That's not fair!

He thought everything would fall into place, but it all turned out to be a big joke.

well! ! !

Those who are destined for misfortune will always be the most unfortunate.

Chu Jiang also strongly resisted the washboard; it wasn't something an ordinary person could kneel on, and he couldn't bear the hardship.

How can he compare to his own father? His father has decades of experience; he knows how to kneel without pain and how to avoid knee injuries. He has his own research on these techniques.

They exclaimed that they couldn't compare.

He doesn't play those boring games.

There's no need to pass on something so inhumane.

His mother actually treated this as a family tradition and wanted to pass it down from generation to generation. I'm ashamed she even thought of it.

"No way, I threw that thing away a long time ago."

"Why did you throw a washboard at me? It was a gift from Mom, meant to teach you a lesson."

"A perfect man like me has no need for that thing. Should I keep it for the New Year instead of throwing it away?"

"you……"

Chu Jiang chuckled and reached out to hug his wife, who was about to get angry.

"Don't be angry. That washboard is suitable for my dad, but not for me. Every couple has their own way of getting along. You don't have to copy someone else's approach. Otherwise, you'll get tired, and I'll get tired too, right?"

Xi Ran thought Chu Jiangyi was right and nodded repeatedly.

What you said makes sense.

"Yay! Long live my wife! From now on, there will be no more washboards in our little home. Let's talk things out openly, it's more effective than a washboard."

"Alright!"

Chu Jiang was also very excited and immediately picked Xi Ran up.

As a result, Chu Jiang and Xi Ran, being at the prime of their youth, embraced and cuddled for a while longer.

As expected, Xi Ran got very angry and kept nagging, which made her back ache even more.

Chu Jiang knew he had bitten off more than he could chew, so he didn't dare to cause any more trouble that night and quietly fell asleep holding his wife.
