There were still some steamed buns made with two-grain flour from lunch, so I heated up a few and fried some cabbage. It was just right, with both meat and vegetables.
Jiang Wanwan handed Lu Xiao a steamed bun, and Lu Xiao gave Jiang Wanwan a piece of lean meat. The two of them ate and chatted face to face.
Lu Xiao didn't seem to talk much, and most of the talking was done by Jiang Wanwan.
"Mom didn't say anything about our marriage, did she? Now that we've got the marriage certificate, do you want to go see her?"
"Honestly, I'm a little scared. Will your mother dislike me? Will she think I'm dependent on you?"
"What's my mother's temper? What do you think I should get from her? It's really a disaster for an ugly daughter-in-law to meet her parents-in-law."
Lu Xiao looked at her with a look of despair, and without delay, he stuffed some cabbage into his mouth, with a smile in his eyes.
"You are very good, and mother likes you very much."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to his house early that day, given him two eggs and some white flour, and asked him to use them to nourish her body.
He knew very well what the situation was like at home. It wasn't easy for his mother to come up with these things, and he didn't know what his sister-in-law would say to her.
Thinking of his home, Lu Xiao felt depressed and irritated again.
The eldest sister-in-law is not easy to get along with. Although the second sister-in-law is better, she is only concerned with competing with the eldest sister-in-law for things in their small home. How can she be their opponent with such a heartless person?
Jiang Wanwan was also thinking about the content mentioned in the article at this moment.
As a well-known villain, Lu Xiao's basic family situation has been introduced.
Before liberation, his family was a big landlord in the area. When the movement just started, many family members were singled out as examples. His father died of illness at that time.
Lu Xiao has two older brothers. The eldest brother got married before the movement and later had two sons.
His sister-in-law's family was ordinary, and at that time she was considered to have married into the Lu family. After she married into the family, she behaved well and lived in harmony with the family. But after the movement started, the poor peasants turned their fortunes around, and his sister-in-law also changed.
At the most intense moment, she even took the lead in shouting slogans, calling for down Lu Baiqing, which was the name of her father-in-law.
At that time, not to mention daughters-in-law, even sons and daughters did the same thing.
The Lu family didn't dare to argue with her. After all, they already had a child at that time, and Lu's mother couldn't bear to see her one or two-year-old grandson lose his mother. However, this incident became a scar in the hearts of the Lu family.
Later, my sister-in-law's family became rich, and she became even more aggressive, threatening to divorce me if she didn't give in.
The reason why Lu Xiao moved out was that his sister-in-law took a fancy to his room and wanted to give it to her two sons.
My second brother got married after the movement. At that time, no girl from a good family was willing to marry him given his conditions. My second sister-in-law's family was in a similar situation to the Lu family, so they hit it off immediately.
The two families agreed that the woman would find a date to move in and the marriage would be considered complete. There would be no wedding and no dowry.
Perhaps because she was scared of being beaten, the second sister-in-law was surprisingly timid and dared not take the lead in anything. Now, the entire Lu family has almost become a one-man show of the eldest sister-in-law. Even Lu's mother has to live according to the eldest daughter-in-law's mood.
Perhaps because those days were too dark and unbearable to recall, Lu Xiao seldom returned to that home. Even when he became rich later, he only took his mother to live with him and had little contact with the two brothers.
"There's some braised pork in the pot. Let's take some to Mom later."
Jiang Wanwan felt relieved knowing that Lu's mother did not reject her, and she was willing to accept the person Lu Xiao cared about.
Lu Xiao glanced at the sky outside and said, "It's too late today. Let's go tomorrow."
The two of them ate and washed up.
Jiang Wanwan needs to use hot water to take a bath. I just turned up the water temperature after cooking, so it’s just right for use after dinner.
Today her husband was at home, so Jiang Wanwan washed the dishes in the kitchen.
Lu Xiao stood in the yard and poured the water that had been in the tub for a day onto himself. When Jiang Wanwan came out of the shower, there was no one in the yard.
"Is he going out again?"
She also didn't know what people's nightlife was like in this era. Lu Xiao seemed to have come back very late yesterday, and she thought he had gone out to play again. When she entered the house, she found that the man had already crawled into the quilt.
He was covered tightly, with only the top of his head exposed. Judging from his breathing, he seemed to be asleep.
After riding such a long distance in the afternoon, carrying a grown person, he must be very tired.
Jiang Wanwan felt a little depressed as she looked at her lonely quilt roll on the other side of the kang.
After all, they both have certificates to work, and today is their wedding night in the true sense, so why do they have to sleep in a separate bed?
She clearly remembered that Lu Xiao in the book never married and had no wife or children in his entire life. Despite his great achievements, he never found a woman. It was obvious that he was a true bachelor.
If she hadn't raped him that night, the two of them probably wouldn't have come to this point.
Now all she can say is that Lu Xiao is a good person, responsible, and responsible for her. As for other things... it seems that she can only live a life where she can only see but not eat.
Jiang Wanwan felt sad. It would be a long way to go to win over this old man.
Judging from his performance during the day, I thought he was at the novice level, but at night I realized that he was at the hell level.
After turning off the lights, Jiang Wanwan tiptoed onto the kang, pulled back the quilt, and crawled into the bed, but she didn't know that the man who fell asleep after she turned off the lights opened his eyes.
His deep eyes quickly adapted to the darkness as he watched the petite figure climb onto the kang, pull back the quilt, and crawl in.
From the beginning to the end, they never crossed the line. He was on this side and she was on the other side.
Aren’t you usually very brave?
He had already pretended to be asleep and given her a chance, so why was she still...
Or did she never plan to live with him for a long time, and everything was just an excuse to stay here?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Lu Xiao suppressed it fiercely.
He doesn't allow it.
If you want to stay, then stay forever.
Jiang Wanwan was lying there when she felt a chill in the room and pulled at the back of her quilt.
As expected, autumn has arrived and the temperature has dropped at night.
…………
When Jiang Wanwan woke up in the morning, she heard whispers outside. Lu Xiao had already gotten up and the quilt was neatly folded and placed at the other end.
Through the window glass, you can see a tall man standing at the door. There seems to be a woman standing opposite him, but she is blocked by him and cannot be seen clearly. The two are talking about something.
Jiang Wanwan walked out of the door with disheveled hair and heard Lu Xiao talking. He also called that person "Mom". Was she Lu Xiao's mother?
Realizing her current appearance, Jiang Wanwan wanted to go back and clean up, but it was too late. Mother Lu had already seen her.
The two of them were far apart, with Lu Xiao between them, but they could still see Mother Lu's loving and joyful eyes, "Is this Wanwan? Are you awake? Did we disturb you?"
Lu Xiao also looked over and simply led his mother into the yard. He waved to Jiang Wanwan and said, "Mom, come and see us. I told you that we've got the marriage certificate."
In fact, Lu's mother came here because she heard gossip in the village.
But last night, the news spread like wildfire, with all kinds of rumors. It was really because Lu Xiao and Jiang Wanwan's clothes were too eye-catching, and the things hanging on the handlebars were even more eye-catching.
Lu's mother was worried that her son would be disliked by his wife sooner or later if he just lived off his wife, so she came to find out what was going on.
