Seeing that everything was in order, Jiang Yuwei glanced at Liu Shi and then left with everyone.

After Jiang Yuwei left, the remaining villagers also got up, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and wedding candies, and left. Indeed, not a single dish was palatable.

Yao Guang was furious to see that his wedding had been ruined because of his wife's stinginess.

"Mother, look at the mess you've made! If word gets out, who knows what the villagers will say about our family! Sigh!"

Old Mrs. Yao was initially delighted that everyone had left, as she now saved herself the trouble of preparing three tables of food. However, upon hearing Yao Guang speak ill of her, she immediately became displeased.

"You brat, you've forgotten your mother after getting married. Do you know how hard it was for me to prepare these three tables of food by myself? You know I'm not a good cook, and now that they look down on us and won't eat our food, it's my fault!"

As she spoke, Granny Yao began to cry.

Seeing this, Liu could only step forward to comfort him.

"Mother, please stop crying. What's the meaning of your crying like this on such a joyous day?"

Granny Yao glared at Liu.

"You're usually so quiet and unassuming, but now you're already looking down on me on my very first day here. How am I supposed to live like this? Waaah..."

As she spoke, Granny Yao began to wail again.

Seeing this, Yao Guang quickly stepped forward and pulled the embarrassed Liu Shi behind him.

"Liu was trying to advise you out of kindness, but now you've twisted it into her disdain for you. If you keep crying like this, I don't think we need to wait until tomorrow. I'll take Liu back to the capital today!"

Upon hearing Yao Guang's words, Granny Yao immediately stopped crying.

"I'm not crying anymore, son. Don't be angry. Let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

Seeing that his mother had finally calmed down, Yao Guang pulled Liu Shi to sit down for a meal. Yao Guang didn't mind the meal and ate a lot. After all, he had been eating his mother's cooking since he was a child and was used to it.

Liu had little appetite, but dared not refuse to eat. She was afraid that Granny Yao would cause trouble again and disturb everyone's peace, so she could only silently pick out a few edible bites with her chopsticks and eat them in small bites.

When Granny Yao saw Liu's appearance, she just glared at her and didn't say anything more. She wished that Liu would eat less every day, so that she could save some food for her family. Ideally, she would just work and not eat.

And so, the three of them silently finished their meal. Just as Liu was about to get up to clear the table, Yao Guang stopped her.

“Liu, as Madam just said, you are the bride today, how can we let you do chores? Just leave these things here. You've been busy all day, go back to our room and rest.”

Just as Liu was about to nod, she heard Granny Yao speak up:

"Oh, your wife is tired, but I, as her mother, am not. I worked so hard to arrange your wedding, was it easy? And now you've forgotten about me so quickly."

Upon hearing this, Liu quickly smiled and said:

"Mom, you go and rest. I'll finish this chore in no time."

Yao Guang turned around and glared at Granny Yao, then turned and pushed Liu Shi into the house, comforting her:

"It's alright, you and Mom go and rest, I'll clean up the food outside."

As he spoke, he closed the door to prevent Liu from coming out. Seeing this, Liu had no choice but to sit down by the bed. At this moment, she felt warm inside. Yao Guang was able to protect her like this, and she felt that she had not chosen the wrong person.

Looking at the small, clean room with a large red "double happiness" character on the wall, Liu blushed instantly.

She never expected to get married again. This time, with a man by her side to care for her, would life be easier?

Liu sat inside the house, fantasizing about her wonderful life with Yao Guang in the future.

When Granny Yao saw her son clearing the dishes outside, she felt a pang of heartache again.

"Oh dear, oh dear, put it down quickly. This is not something a grown man like you should do. I'll do it, I'll do it. I really can't do anything with you. From now on, your wife will have to do all these chores. Do you understand? Otherwise, what's the point of marrying a wife?"

Yao Guang frowned upon hearing what Granny Yao said.

“Mother, I married Liu because I love her and I want to marry her, not to bring her back to our family to be our slave. These little things can be done by anyone. I am a grown man with hands and feet and plenty of strength. I don’t need my wife to do everything.”

As he spoke, Yao Guang snatched the bowl and chopsticks from Granny Yao's hands and said in a deep voice:

"You should come inside and rest. I'll finish these chores in a little while."

Having said that, she went to the kitchen without looking back. Yao Guang knew that if his mother did all the chores by herself, she would probably nag him for years.

Now that I've taken over the work, I'll have some peace and quiet for the next few years. At least I won't have to worry about Granny Yao bringing up the wedding day every day anymore.

After Yao Guang finished his chores in the yard and cleaned everything up, it was already dark. When he went inside, Liu Shi was already asleep, exhausted, lying on the table.

Looking at Liu Shi sleeping, Yao Guang felt a surge of emotion. He carefully walked to the table, reached out, and picked Liu Shi up.

While sleeping, Liu suddenly felt herself being lifted into the air. She groggily opened her eyes and saw Yao Guang's face very close to hers. Soon, she realized that Yao Guang was lifting her up in his arms.

Yao Guang's muscular chest and powerful arms were pressed tightly against her body, and Liu blushed involuntarily, whispering:

“Brother Yao Guang, put me down, I can walk by myself.”

When Yao Guang saw that Liu Shi in his arms had woken up, he quickly put her on the bed and then carefully squatted down to take off Liu Shi's shoes.

"I saw you sleeping by the table just now. I was worried you would catch a cold, so I thought I would carry you to the bed. It's okay, you can go to sleep."

Liu had never been cared for so tenderly by a man before, nor had a man ever taken off her shoes for her. Looking at Yao Guang, who was covered in sweat from exhaustion, she felt an overwhelming sense of happiness.

Liu reached out and took Yao Guang's large hand, saying softly:

"Brother Yao Guang, you should go to bed and rest too. You look exhausted today."

Yao Guang was completely ignorant about matters between men and women and was wondering how to ask Liu Shi to sleep in the same bed with him. Unexpectedly, Liu Shi spoke first, so Yao Guang happily took off his clothes and lay down on the bed with Liu Shi.

Looking at Yao Guang's dark and muscular body, Liu couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart.

"Yao Guang, let me have another child for you."

Upon hearing this, Yao Guang immediately felt his cheeks burning, his whole body hot, his mouth dry, and his body stiffening.

Seeing this, Liu knew that Yao Guang was ignorant about matters between men and women, so she took the initiative to cover him and guide him to pleasure with her.
