Jiang Yunshu had just kicked out her fiancé who was cheating on her when her long-deceased grandparents appeared in her dream. Before leaving, they even gave her a mustard seed space obtained from...
Wang's father tapped the pipe in his hand and said, "You have always been the one making the decisions about family matters. I will listen to you about the wedding. In any case, we cannot neglect our daughter-in-law."
"That's right. They've worked hard to raise their daughter for 10 or 20 years and married her off to our family. We can't let them down. Our son is dull and honest, just like you. He's not good at saying nice things to please her. If they ever quarrel in the future, we, as parents, must side with our daughter-in-law and never take sides with our son."
When she gave birth to a son in her youth, she accidentally developed a chronic illness. After so many years of marriage, she and her husband only had one child, Bowei.
The young wives who married into the team at the same time as her had five or six children at the least, and some had more than ten. In the countryside, having many children means more labor, and others dare not bully you.
Not being able to give birth to children for the Wang family has always been a pain in her heart, and she has always been criticized behind her back. After her parents-in-law, sisters-in-law and her husband found out, they picked up shovels and had a fight with the people in the team. Since then, the rumors in the team have decreased a lot.
Her parents-in-law treated her very well and never abused her by taking advantage of their status. When she was in confinement after giving birth, she was very weak. Not only did her parents-in-law kill the two chickens at home, they also spent money to buy chickens from the neighbors next door.
She has always remembered this kindness in her heart, and has secretly vowed to treat her future daughter-in-law like her mother-in-law.
After waiting and waiting, she finally got the good news that her daughter-in-law was coming home. She was more excited than anyone else. As someone who didn't have a daughter and always envied other people's daughters, she wanted to treat her daughter-in-law as her own daughter.
On the other side, Gu Jiuyan, who had just finished training, met Shen's father and mother on the way back to the family compound. Shen's mother told him the news that the Gu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were coming here.
However, Gu Jiuyan, who was thinking about his wife, didn't care about this. At this moment, he was secretly planning what dishes to cook in the evening.
I must make the candied sweet potatoes that I promised my wife. Besides this, what other dishes should I make?
The little girl is not very picky. She has made sweet and sour pork ribs and sweet and sour fish before, and she would get tired of making them again.
Unknowingly, Gu Jiuyan has already brought himself into the position of a good husband in marriage.
The fact is, after marriage, Gu Jiuyan is not only a good husband, but also a good father.
While eating the Yun Province fresh flower cakes that Gu's mother brought, Shen Yunshu also told some interesting stories from the countryside to liven up the atmosphere, making Grandma Gu and Gu's mother laugh out loud.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was peaceful, filled with the laughter of several people.
It was at this time that Shen's mother and the other three arrived home.
When Shen Yunshu saw them coming back from get off work, she quickly used tongs to pick out the roasted sweet potatoes buried in the fire. She also specifically emphasized that these roasted sweet potatoes were reserved for them.
Otherwise, given their personalities, they wouldn't eat it.
Chen Yunshu and Du Piaoliang prepared lunch early. They steamed sweet potatoes and white rice, stir-fried a few dishes, and made a pot of seaweed egg drop soup.
When Shen's mother was serving the rice, she accidentally glanced at the rice bag in the corner that was half empty, and the corners of her mouth twitched violently.
If today's rice were at someone else's house, it would probably take a month or two to eat, but her daughter finished it in one meal.
Mother Shen, who had never had much concept of money and always thought that having enough money was enough, suddenly felt an urgency to make money.
She wants to work hard to make money to give her daughter a good life, and she wants to make up for the grievances her daughter has suffered outside before.
Although Shen Yunshu and Du Piaoliang's cooking skills were not as good as Gu Jiuyan, who had been taught by the descendants of the imperial chef, everyone was very supportive at the dinner table.
Mother Gu's performance was particularly exaggerated: "I have never eaten such a delicious meal in my life. Shushu and Piaoliang are amazing."
Shen Yunshu, who knew her own worth, naturally knew that what Gu's mother said was just polite talk, but the emotional value provided by Gu's mother made her happy.
"Auntie Gu, I'll make it for you someday if I have the chance."
As soon as Shen Yunshu finished speaking, Gu Jiuyan, who was sitting opposite him, frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
On the contrary, Mother Gu was extremely distressed: "In the Gu family, it's the men who cook. From now on, the cooking work will be left to this brat."
Her daughter-in-law is so sweet and soft, and she can't enter the smoky kitchen, otherwise she will suffocate her daughter-in-law.
Gu Jiuyan immediately followed up with a conversation: "I can handle cooking."
As for cooking, I will find an opportunity to ask the Wan family for advice next time. My wife is too thin and needs to eat something good to replenish her body.
However, that place is not thin. Gu Jiuyan thought of the spring scene he accidentally saw that day, and felt dry and hot.
After dinner, everyone was busy packing up, and Mother Gu pulled Shen Yunshu aside to talk to her in private.
"Shushu, let me tell you, as a woman, you can't be too sympathetic to men, nor can you take on everything yourself. When it's time to order a man around, you should do it to your heart's content. Even if you can do it yourself, you should pretend you can't..."
Facing Mother Gu's earnest teachings, Shen Yunshu had a complicated expression. It was the first time she had encountered a mother-in-law like Mother Gu who was so stubborn.
Is Gu Jiuyan really Mother Gu's son? Why doesn't he look like her?
"Shushu, did you remember everything I said?"
"Aunt Gu, I've remembered everything. Don't worry, I will definitely carry out what you said today to the end."
Faced with the experience carefully summarized by the predecessors, Shen Yunshu must resolutely implement it to the end. In short, Mother Gu will not harm her.
But when he saw the man standing behind Gu's mother, Shen Yunshu was a little uneasy.
"That's good. If that brat dares to bully you in the future, I will take you away from home." The indignant Mother Gu didn't notice Shen Yunshu who was winking at her.
"Running away from home?" Gu Jiuyan chuckled. It was the first time he knew that his mother still had such a dangerous idea in her mind.
Mother Gu became more and more excited as she spoke: "Yes, run away from home. Then we will wander around the world and let them cry at home."
It’s over! Shen Yunshu covered his face and didn’t dare to look at Mother Gu.
It's really painful to say bad things about people behind their backs and get caught red-handed.
"Does my dad know about running away from home?"
"I'm not stupid, how could I..." Realizing that something was wrong, Mother Gu turned her head awkwardly, and saw the annoying guy in her family. She was so scared that she quickly shrank behind Shen Yunshu.
Gu Jiuyan said coldly, "You're instigating my wife behind my back and alienating our relationship. I'll call my dad later and have him send someone to pick you up."
Knowing her mistake, Mother Gu quickly begged for mercy and apologized, but it was of no use. Gu Jiuyan was determined to send her away.
Mother Gu was almost crying in anxiety. Facing her strong son, she really had no idea what to do.
Shen Yunshu couldn't bear it any longer, so he pulled Gu Jiuyan's sleeve and said in a pinched voice: "Jiuyan, Aunt Gu is doing this for my own good, please don't be angry."
