"Is that Zheng Guo?"
Upon hearing his mother-in-law's voice, Sun Zhengguo put down what he was doing and walked out of the kitchen.
The mother-in-law was holding a wooden stick and staring intently at the kitchen door.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Upon seeing that it was indeed her son-in-law, Wang Guiying awkwardly threw away the wooden stick in her hand.
"Hey! I saw the door lock was open and thought a thief had broken in! I only remembered to ask when I saw your car."
Seeing that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, Wang Guiying went into the kitchen and saw the beef on the cutting board and two cleaned bluefish next to it.
"Did you bring all of these?"
Sun Zhengguo thought his mother-in-law was going to cause trouble again, so he hurriedly explained.
"Mom, Xiaowei will be coming over after get off work soon, and she likes to eat this, so I prepared some."
"Oh! I'll do it then! What kind of son-in-law comes to a family and goes into the kitchen?"
"Why!"
Seeing that his mother-in-law didn't cause any trouble, Sun Zhengguo breathed a sigh of relief and stopped worrying about it, leaving it to his mother-in-law.
He went to the main room, poured himself a glass of water, and passed the time out of boredom.
A few minutes later, a bicycle bell rang at the door. Sun Zhengguo knew that his wife must have come home from work.
As soon as he stepped out of the main room, he saw Ning Xiaowei looking at him with a bright smile.
"Jung-guk, you're here early enough."
"My wife gave me instructions, so how could I dare to neglect them? Of course I had to come early."
Sun Zhengguo was still as glib as ever, and Ning Xiaowei was used to it. After parking the car, she went to the kitchen.
"Mom, I'm home."
Wang Guiying, who was cooking dinner in the kitchen, didn't even look up when she heard her daughter's voice.
"So what if you're back? What? Do you expect me to come and greet you?"
Ning Xiaowei was already used to Wang Guiying's tone of voice, and she went to the kitchen to take a look.
Wow!
"Mom, is this the way to go? Fish and beef again today?"
But when I see beef, it looks so familiar!
"Oh! Silly girl, it's all thanks to you. Zhengguo brought it all, saying you love to eat it, hehe!"
"I was wondering why he looked so familiar, you must have been criticizing him again."
"No, not at all. After talking with you last time, I've come to a realization. I used to be worried about him spending money recklessly, but since he has the ability to do so, let him be!"
Hearing Wang Guiying's approval, Ning Xiaowei was also very happy and went into the kitchen to help out.
With their daughter joining them, dinner was quickly prepared.
"Jung-guk, wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Ning Xiaowei placed the fish she had brought on the table and then gave instructions to Sun Zhengguo.
"Okay!"
After washing their hands, the three began to eat.
"Mom, do you know why we're here today?"
Wang Guiying shook her head; her daughter and son-in-law had been here for so long, but she hadn't asked them anything.
"Mom, we have some good news for you today."
Ning Xiaowei said mysteriously as she put beef on her mother's plate.
"What good news? You're not pregnant, are you?"
Wang Guiying's words startled Sun Zhengguo, who was eating nearby; his mother-in-law really had a rich imagination.
"Mom, what are you saying! We've only been married for a few days, how could it be so fast? I'm talking about my older brother's matter."
“What could possibly happen to your older brother? He’s always in the military camp. The biggest regret of my life is sending him to join the army.”
Wang Guiying said with a hint of disappointment.
Her son is already 23 this year! He's well past the age to get married, and this has become a major worry for her.
"Mom, I'm telling you, my older brother is dating someone."
Perhaps knowing her mother's thoughts, Ning Xiaowei didn't intend to keep her in suspense and spoke directly.
"So what if you're dating? What else can you do...?"
"What? Xiaowei, what did you just say? Did Mom mishear me?"
Wang Guiying, realizing what had happened, could hardly believe her ears and quickly asked again.
"Mom, it's just what you think. My older brother is dating someone, and he's already met her. Both of them are very happy with the relationship."
"Is it true? Tell Mom quickly, where is she from? How did they meet?"
Wang Guiying's eyes reddened with excitement. She didn't even bother to eat her meal, and instead held her daughter's hand, asking...
Since her husband's sacrifice, her two children have become her only source of emotional support.
Ning Dazhuang, in particular, bears the heavy responsibility of continuing the Ning family line.
Sometimes she was really afraid she wouldn't live to see that day, but now, good news came from her daughter.
"Mom, don't worry, let me tell you slowly."
Next, Ning Xiaowei put down her chopsticks and told her mother about her brother's relationship from beginning to end.
Seeing this, Sun Zhengguo also stopped eating and listened quietly to the sound.
After listening to the story, Wang Guiying sighed deeply, never expecting that her son-in-law was involved.
"Zhengguo, Mom wants to thank you for still thinking of your older brother."
"Mom, you're overthinking it. With my brother's qualifications, finding a wife really isn't that difficult."
Wang Guiying didn't care about any of that; she just wanted to express her gratitude.
"Alright, let's eat."
Seeing that everyone had stopped eating, Wang Guiying began to urge them to finish their meal.
However, she was already planning in her mind that as soon as she got to work tomorrow, she would call her husband's former superior officer and ask him to keep an eye on their son. He couldn't spend all his time in the military camp; her own marriage was also very important.
She believed that the old leader would definitely support her upon hearing the news.
At this moment, Ning Dazhuang, who was in the military camp, was unaware that his old superior was going to talk to him the next day, asking him to settle his marriage as soon as possible, and it was a specific task.
"Jung-guk, I have to thank you for what happened to my family!"
On the way home that evening, Ning Xiaowei, who had never seen her mother so happy, thanked Sun Zhengguo again.
"What are you saying? Fool, your business is my business! We are husband and wife, one body, why be so particular?"
At this point, Sun Zhengguo thought of Lou Xiao'e's matter again. Since his wife was in a good mood today, he might as well bring it up and avoid causing trouble later.
"Honey, I have something to tell you, I hope you won't be angry."
"Then tell me! Let me hear what it is."
Seeing that things had come to this point, and that he would be killed whether he faced it or not, Sun Zhengguo simply laid his cards on the table.
He told his wife in detail about what had happened to Lou Xiao'e in the past two days.
Ning Xiaowei felt annoyed as soon as she heard the name Lou Xiao'e. When she heard that Lou Xiao'e had drugged Sun Zhengguo, she stopped in her tracks and started yelling angrily.
"That shameless woman, how could she do something so despicable? Is this how she treats her savior?"
But after he finished cursing, he realized that Sun Zhengguo wouldn't... after taking the medicine.
"And then what happened?"
Hearing Ning Xiaowei's hurried voice, Sun Zhengguo felt fortunate that he hadn't made a mistake, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Xiaowei, don't rush, let me explain slowly."
Except for the location, which Sun Zhengguo concealed and used another location as a substitute, everything else was told to the truth.
Although Sun Zhengguo eventually pulled back from the brink, Ning Xiaowei was still very angry.
She was angry with Sun Zhengguo for not telling her about this immediately.
If Sun Zhengguo had spoken out about this back then, none of this mess would have happened later.
This led to Sun Zhengguo becoming a monk that night. As for when he could break his vow of celibacy?
Ning Xiaowei said, "It depends on my mood. If you can't satisfy me, Sun Zhengguo, you can prepare to ring the bell for the rest of your life!"
