"Come on, stop trying to fool people with those sweet words. Hurry up and take Sibin over there to wash hands and get ready for dinner. It's getting late. If you delay any longer, you'll be late when you get back. It's dark and the road is slippery and hard to walk on."
Ruan Wanxin pretended to be jealous and pulled Chen Sibin towards the well, talking as she walked.
“Alas, you are so worried about your precious son-in-law. I will take your precious son-in-law to wash his hands and eat!”
Zhou Jiafen was so angry that she laughed and warned.
"You are so unruly! If you don't wash your hands properly, you will have no food to eat!"
Ruan Wanxin retorted from a distance.
"Well, now that I have a son-in-law, I don't want my daughter anymore! I won't even give her food to eat!"
"You little bitch, you have to misinterpret my meaning. I didn't say you can't eat it, I just told you to wash your hands before eating!"
"You mean you can't eat if you don't wash your hands..."
The mother and daughter finally found an opportunity to argue, and they talked back and forth, recalling the happy times of their growth. In the end, Zhou Jiafen was defeated and had nothing to say.
I don't know when it started, but when I argue with my daughter, she always loses...
But she was always willing to be the loser. After all, in the process of bickering with her, her daughter had slowly grown into an excellent girl, surpassing the girls in the same village and also exceeding her expectations.
Chen Sibin didn't say a word the whole time, but with a smile on his face, he watched the interaction between the mother and daughter, thinking, no wonder Ruan Wanxin's family is so kind and loving, there is a reason why his daughter-in-law was able to conquer his difficult mother Xiao Meifeng in just a few moves.
After all, there is always someone at home who helps her practice her mouth.
After instructing her daughter and son-in-law to wash their hands, Zhou Jiafen retracted her gaze and looked at those bastards in her family.
"Hurry up, boys! Pack the Panax notoginseng and put it there. Go wash your hands and have dinner. After dinner, load the bags of Panax notoginseng into your sister and her husband's car. Don't let your sister and brother-in-law get tired. They still have a long way to go."
Ruan Wanxin's brothers: "..."
So, his mother treated them differently. After finding a good son-in-law, she even disliked her son. Her son had to do all the heavy work, while her daughter and son-in-law had to sit idle. She was afraid of tiring her daughter and son-in-law when she drove back home.
Sure enough, this is how differential treatment comes about!
Chen Sibin washed his hands and listened to his mother-in-law's instructions, feeling happy. His mother-in-law was so kind to him, so it seemed he would have to be even nicer to Ruan Wanxin in the future.
After they washed their hands, they walked into the kitchen. The rich aroma of food floated in the air, immediately capturing everyone's taste buds.
At this moment, the dining table is already filled with dishes, which is even more sumptuous than the Chinese New Year's meal.
People in the countryside, especially in the villages, usually live a frugal life, but when the new son-in-law comes back for the first time, he must be given good food and drink.
Zhou Jiafen took out all the delicious food at home that she was reluctant to eat.
After everyone was seated at the table, Zhou Jiafen brought the last dish of soup and announced.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's eat!"
Chen Sibin picked up the bowl and chopsticks. The dishes on the table were not delicacies from land and sea, but for rural people, they were definitely a rich feast. There were local chicken stewed with wild mushrooms, wild fungus fried with meat, bacon and dried bamboo shoot soup, cold shepherd's purse, fried pork shreds with watercress, plus some stir-fried seasonal side dishes and vegetable soup.
The side dishes didn't seem particularly precious, but the vegetables were fresh, definitely the best the farmers could produce. For the first time, Chen Sibin, the new son-in-law, felt the weight of being treated like a distinguished guest.
I thought that in order to entertain him, my mother-in-law would not take out all the delicious food at home! It seems that when he leaves later, he will have to give red envelopes to his father-in-law, mother-in-law and several brothers-in-law to express his gratitude and ensure that the family will not be out of food after they return.
Fortunately, although the Ruan family's financial situation is not very good, the family is united, friendly and warm.
The meal was quite warm and harmonious. After the meal, Chen Sibin calmly stuffed a few red envelopes into Ruan Wanxin's hands and whispered to her.
"We're leaving now. These red envelopes are a token of my appreciation. Please pass them on to my parents-in-law and my brother-in-law!"
Ruan Wanxin touched the red envelopes in her hand and squeezed them. They were quite thick, which showed that her man was not a stingy person. She glanced at Chen Sibin and said in a low voice.
"Why don't you give it to me? What's the point of forcing the red envelope on me? It's the son-in-law who gives the red envelope when the bride returns home!"
Unexpectedly, Chen Sibin took out a few more red envelopes and said with a smile on his face.
"It's not urgent to return home. I was worried that you didn't prepare red envelopes, so I specially prepared a few for you. I have some here too. Naturally, on the first day of the return home, both of us have to give red envelopes."
The man's words were simple, yet warm.
For the first time, Ruan Wanxin felt Chen Sibin's attentiveness and consideration. She didn't expect that although he looked a big man, he was actually very thoughtful. He knew that the two of them were in a hurry to go out in the morning, and was afraid that they wouldn't even be able to take out a red envelope when they left later, so he specially prepared a red envelope for her.
In fact, she had prepared red envelopes long ago, but when she came in the morning, she stuffed them all into Zhou Jiafen and asked her to distribute them to her father and brothers. Unexpectedly, Chen Sibin prepared another red envelope for her.
For a moment, Ruan Wanxin was so moved that she almost burst into tears, but she forced herself to hold it back and praised him.
"Well, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. For this alone, I should give you a compliment."
After all, it was her husband's idea, so she couldn't refuse.
Anyway, it's just one more red envelope, and they both don't need the money. On the contrary, it can help their family. Maybe the money will be more useful if given to her parents.
After all, the villagers don't live a very rich life, so getting extra money is a good thing, whether it is to improve their lives or increase planting costs.
Unexpectedly, Chen Sibin took advantage of the situation, slowly approached her, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Verbal praise is meaningless. On the way back later, you promised me that you would fulfill your promise on homecoming day, so just behave well."
Ruan Wanxin: “…”
You see, expectations shouldn't be too high. I know this man has no good tricks up his sleeve, and he always brings up that matter. What a great day to return home. This day has to be today.
Ruan Wanxin was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but Chen Sibin was so tactless that he tugged at her sleeve and said loudly.
"Dad, Mom, it's getting late. We've already eaten. We should go back to the city. Wanxin will marry me. I will treat her well in the future. You can rest assured."
Having said that, Chen Sibin pulled Ruan Wanxin, who was obviously not in the mood, and took out the red envelope in his hand.
