However, Shen Cunpu was too serious and never understood romance, always deliberately keeping his distance.
No matter how Liu Yuelan tried to scheme or made any unintentional gestures, it was all like talking to a brick wall, with absolutely no response.
Looking back now, I realize she started having ideas not long after she entered the room.
Seeing this, Su Chenwei stood to the side.
She must go to the army to join them as soon as possible; she can no longer stay in this place.
At that moment, a pungent smell of smoke wafted from the kitchen.
Thick smoke billowed out from under the door, choking even those standing outside and causing them to cough uncontrollably.
Inside the room, Shen Zhiyu and Liu Yuelan stood facing each other, their expressions blank.
Although Shen Zhiyu knew how to add firewood to the stove.
But he had no idea how to control the heat, and just kept stuffing dry firewood into the stove.
As a result, the flames were too large, and thick smoke billowed up.
The room was filled with smoky smoke, almost suffocating the two of them!
Liu Yuelan covered her nose with her hand.
She picked up a handful of dark-colored cornmeal with two fingers, frowned, and casually sprinkled it into the boiling pot a few times, completely just going through the motions.
Add water, start a fire, stir...
What should have been a simple task was handled haphazardly and without any order.
After working for most of the day, their faces and hair were covered in soot.
After much difficulty, the two finally managed to cook "a meal".
A pot of half-cooked cornmeal porridge.
This corn paste not only had a strange color, but it was also sticky like glue.
"It's almost ready to eat, honey, you're amazing!"
Shen Zhiyu grinned and praised Liu Yuelan. As he spoke, he ran to the pickle jar and used his chopsticks to pick out a small handful of extremely salty old pickled vegetables.
I made a few quick cuts without paying attention to whether they were even, and then added a few drops of sesame oil with my chopsticks.
He seemed completely absorbed in the "delicious food" he had made, and contentedly served it on the table.
The pot of food was also brought out.
Liu Yuelan frowned and carefully dipped a little corn paste into her mouth with her chopsticks.
Suddenly, a bitter and astringent taste surged up.
My stomach churned, and I felt incredibly uncomfortable.
She immediately pushed the bowl away, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and gag, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Ugh... What is this?! It tastes awful! Even a pig wouldn't eat this!"
In that instant, all the grievances welled up in my heart.
Zhu Xiuqin was already extremely troubled by Su Chenwei's insistence on separating the family property, and her heart was already burning with anger.
Seeing Liu Yuelan looking at the pot of pig swill-like food on the table with such disgust, he became even more annoyed.
She slammed her hand on the table with a loud bang.
"Even pigs won't eat this stuff? Humph, this is all the food we have at home. Eat it if you want, don't eat it if you don't! If you're not going to eat it, get out! Go back to your parents' house! A married daughter has no right to go back to her parents' house. Once you enter my Zhu Xiuqin's door, you have to listen to me and abide by the rules of our Shen family!"
"Fine, I'll get out!"
Liu Yuelan threw down her chopsticks, stood up, and rushed out the door without looking back.
Before the others in the room could react, Shen Zhiyu had already stood up and hurriedly chased after him with a nervous expression.
He ran while shouting, "Yuelan! Wait, Yuelan! Don't go like this!"
Meanwhile, Zhu Xiuqin remained seated inside the house.
"Ignore her! A woman like that doesn't deserve our food or our family. She's just arrogant and ignorant. Our little temple can't support such a big shot like her. Let her go back to her parents' house and live off them!"
After escaping from the house, Liu Yuelan ran all the way and finally stopped behind a woodpile in the corner of the yard.
It was pitch black behind the woodpile.
She curled up there, covering her face tightly with her hands, but tears kept slipping through her fingers.
Is this the married life she had longed for day and night?
I thought that marrying him would bring me a whole new and better life.
Who knew that these days would not only be uneventful, but also filled with grievances.
The man she married was not a decent man.
Instead, he was timid and cowardly, not daring to say a word against his own mother.
What's even worse is having such a mean and difficult mother-in-law.
They can't even cook a proper meal at home; they just feed the pigs swill every day.
They're forcing food that even pigs wouldn't eat into people's mouths!
Don't the villagers always say that she has a lucky fate for her husband?
Whoever marries her will have good luck.
Was Liu Yuelan destined to be a fairy who brings good luck?
So where does her "good luck" lie?
"Yuelan! Yuelan!"
Shen Zhiyu's voice came from afar.
As the familiar voice drew closer, Liu Yuelan quickly shrank back, not wanting to be found by him.
She was so disheveled that she didn't want to see anyone.
The night grew even darker.
From the other side of the courtyard wall came intermittent laughter and conversation.
Liu Yuelan vaguely recognized Su Qingzhi's voice.
There is also Shen Cunpu.
The two were talking and laughing in hushed tones, their words relaxed and their tone peaceful.
What a wonderful life they live!
Relaxed and carefree, lacking nothing.
And what about her?
Liu Yuelan curled up in the darkness, crying silently as waves of tearing pain surged through her stomach.
She was filled with regret.
How could she have married Shen Zhiyu, a man who seems so useless and incompetent!
Suddenly, everything went dark, and a figure appeared abruptly in front of her.
That was Shen Zhiyu, who had come looking for her.
He held a rough porcelain bowl with a chipped edge steadily in one hand.
