Upon transmigrating, Shen Yunsheng became a peasant woman, complete with four burdens (stepchildren) + a bunch of brainless relatives.
Her in-laws are weak and incompetent, her sister-in-law ...
When Granny Yang saw Shen Yunsheng enter the kitchen, she instinctively stepped back.
“I am your elder, and I have the right to distribute food for you.”
"Grandma, you're overstepping your bounds. This egg pancake was prepared by Wanqing for my husband. If you take it all, what will he eat?"
Shen Yunsheng walked directly to Granny Yang and snatched the plate from her.
"You, you dare to steal my food!" Granny Yang pointed at Shen Yunsheng's nose and cursed, "You've really gone too far! I'm your grandmother, are you trying to starve me to death?!"
Shen Yunsheng sneered, "Grandmother-in-law? Do you even consider me your granddaughter-in-law? Ever since I married into this family, you've never given me a kind word. You even tried to kill me after I broke my legs."
After saying that, Shen Yunsheng casually picked up five pairs of chopsticks and walked out of the kitchen.
Granny Yang was so angry that she stomped her feet when the food she was about to eat was snatched away, but there was nothing she could do.
She knew that Shen Yunsheng was no longer the pushover she used to be.
Seeing that Granny Yang had been humiliated, Xiao Wanqing couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Grandma, I was originally planning to save one for you, but you insisted on taking them all."
"You brat, how dare you laugh?"
"Grandma, how could I dare to laugh at you?"
"You, all of you just wait, I refuse to believe I can't handle you."
Granny Yang glared at Xiao Wanqing, then headed straight for the east wing.
Xiao Wanqing frowned slightly. The old lady had gone to complain again. She should hurry up and finish washing the iron pot so she could go and take a look.
Xiao Family Compound, East Wing
As soon as Shen Yunsheng entered the house, he saw his mother-in-law pick up a pair of new shoes and ask Xiao Jingchuan to try them on.
"Mom! Come and eat the egg pancake, it won't taste good when it's cold."
Shen Yunsheng casually placed the plate and chopsticks on the table. That old hag had gone to complain. If they didn't eat, this plate of egg pancakes would become the second wife's lunch.
"I'm not hungry, you guys eat."
Mrs. Luo was reluctant to eat it; her son and his wife both needed nutrition, so she decided to save such a precious food as egg pancakes for them.
“Mother, Wanqing made ten. That’s just enough for each of us in the family. If you don’t eat them, we won’t be able to finish them.”
Shen Yunsheng went over and pulled her mother-in-law. Through their time together, she had genuinely grown fond of this kind woman. Her claim that she wasn't hungry was a lie; she was reluctant to eat and wanted to save the food for them.
When Xiao Jingchuan saw his mother's gray hair, he felt a pang of sadness. His mother had lived most of her life but had never had a single good day. It was his fault as her son.
"Mom! You go and eat first, I'll come over as soon as I put on my shoes."
Xiao Jingchuan looked at his mother tenderly.
In this life, he not only has to find a way to save his mother's life, but also to give her a good life.
"Jingchuan's family, I'll send it to your father first."
When Luo thought of her husband, she casually mentioned him.
"My second uncle is in his bedroom, let's not disturb him." Shen Yunsheng smiled bitterly to herself. Maybe that old poisonous woman is also in her father-in-law's bedroom. That old poisonous woman is very wicked. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she snatched the egg pancake. If she hadn't arrived in time, her sister-in-law wouldn't have been able to do anything to that old poisonous woman.
Upon hearing his wife's thoughts, Xiao Jingchuan frowned slightly. He was absolutely certain that the old poisonous woman and her son had brainwashed his father again.
As Luo ate, she sighed. Although they had separated their households, her husband was still unhappy.
“Oh dear! Your father regrets dividing the family property. I’m really afraid he’ll cancel it.”
Shen Yunsheng smiled and comforted her mother-in-law, "Mother, please don't worry anymore. Even if my father wants to cancel, my husband and I will not agree."
Xiao Jingchuan was truly astonished by his father. The old poisonous woman had never loved him from beginning to end, yet he still treated her like an ancestor.
"Mother, don't worry, I'll handle things with Father." Xiao Jingchuan smiled as he walked to his mother's side.
Before her father-in-law came over, Shen Yunsheng took out Xiao Jingchuan's bonus and placed it in her mother-in-law's hand with a smile.
“Mother, this hundred taels was given to me by Lord Lin. He said it was my husband’s bonus. I’m giving it to you now, and you can spend it however you like.”
"Keep it for yourself. You are Chuan'er's wife, it's only right that you manage the money."
Luo smiled and returned it to her daughter-in-law. In her heart, she had long regarded her daughter-in-law as her own daughter. Not to mention a hundred taels, even if it were ten thousand taels, she would give it to her daughter-in-law.
As mothers-in-law, they should just mind their own business and not interfere in their sons' marriages.
“Mother, now that we’ve separated the family, you are the head of our household, so this money should rightfully be given to you.”
Shen Yunsheng stuffed the money into her mother-in-law's hand again; she still had ninety-five taels on her, which was enough for the time being.
Xiao Jingchuan was pleased that his wife and mother got along well. Seeing that neither his mother nor his wife wanted to manage the money, he suggested that his wife give his mother ten taels of silver as pocket money, while he would leave the remaining one hundred taels to his wife.
Shen Yunsheng thought her husband's idea was pretty good. She took out all the loose silver that the old lady had given her and gave it to her mother-in-law.
She kept her husband's bonus.
Luo had never seen dozens of taels of silver before. Her daughter-in-law gave her thirty-five taels of silver all at once, and she couldn't stop smiling.
"I'll keep this money for you first, and then I'll give it to you when you have children in the future."
Shen Yunsheng lowered her head shyly. She and Xiao Jingchuan were only husband and wife in name only, and she had never thought about having a child with him.
Looking at his wife's shy expression, Xiao Jingchuan's heart stirred.
Although they were only husband and wife in name only, he never thought of betraying his marriage.
Looking at the shy young couple, Mrs. Luo felt very gratified.
She hopes her son and daughter-in-law can have their own child soon, so that the house will be more lively.
Remembering her daughter-in-law's jade pendant, Madam Luo gently reminded her, "Jingchuan's family, please take some time to redeem the jade pendant. If you delay too long, I'm afraid Steward Zhou will change his mind."
