"Mom, what do you mean by that? What's the point of paying for it? Since we're married, we're all family. Money is just a thing outside of our body. My money is Liu Bing's money, and Liu Bing's money is mine."
Zheng Xinyue couldn't bear it anymore and went over to say something.
Unexpectedly, Liu's mother didn't give her any face at all. "Why are you here? Don't interfere with our conversation. You are a city girl and don't understand our country customs. It's getting late. Go cook and let us taste your cooking skills."
Zheng Xinyue's face turned green. She was a new daughter-in-law, but she was asked to cook. She didn't even cook at home, so why should she cook at her in-laws' house?
But for Liu Bing's sake, Zheng Xinyue didn't get angry.
Liu Bing realized something was wrong and pulled Zheng Xinyue's arm.
"Come on, Xinyue, let's go back to the house."
After returning to the room, Zheng Xinyue couldn't bear it anymore and started questioning directly.
"Liu Bing, what does your family mean? I don't want the betrothal gift because I love you. Is it me, Zheng Xinyue, who is worthless? What nonsense is your mother talking about out there? She says I'm worthless. After all, I'm your wife. Can you please stop me?"
Liu Bing looked at Zheng Xinyue with impatience in his eyes, thinking that what she said was really not good enough. This was her third marriage, and she still had the nerve to ask for a betrothal gift? In the words of the villagers, this was the worst of the worst. If she didn't have money, he would never marry such a person.
"Alright, calm down. How can I manage you? She's my mother after all. It wasn't easy for her to raise me and send me to school. How much hardship did she endure? I finally found a capable wife, and they're willing to show off in front of the villagers. As her daughter-in-law, can't you be a little more tolerant?"
Not only was Liu Bing in no mood to coax Zheng Xinyue, he even felt a little resentful, thinking that Zheng Xinyue was too ignorant.
He hadn't originally intended to live a serious life together. He just wanted them to get married and then wait a few months before getting divorced and dividing the property.
When the time comes, he will marry Zhou Xiaofang. Zhou Xiaofang has been with him since they were young. They have been with each other from elementary school to university.
He definitely couldn't let her down, especially since Zhou Xiaofang had already had a relationship with him.
If he didn't marry Zhou Xiaofang, her life would be over.
After hearing what Liu Bing said, Zheng Xinyue became even more furious.
"What do you mean your mom has it hard? If your mom has it hard, does that mean it's easy for me? Do you know that my dad doesn't agree with our marriage at all? If I hadn't begged and pleaded with him, how could we get married? Now we're together, and I pay for the car, the house, and the daily expenses. Even so, you still want to make me suffer? Your mom has it hard because of your dad. What does it have to do with me?"
Although Zheng Xinyue is a love-sick person, she is still quite organized.
Unexpectedly, Liu Bing turned his face up and said indifferently, "You don't sound like you want to live a good life with me. If you think my family is poor and my parents are not presentable, then we should break up. It's not too late to divorce now."
Zheng Xinyue originally wanted Liu Bing to support her, or say a few nice words to coax her. Anyway, she didn't live in the countryside, so she could just endure it and it would be fine.
Unexpectedly, Liu Bing didn't even give her a step. How could she climb down?
"Divorced right after getting married? Do you think marriage is a joke?"
"Then what do you want me to do? I can't do anything. I can't control my mother's mouth. If you still want to live a good life, go and cook now. In our village, there is no daughter-in-law who doesn't cook. What's the point of marrying her if she doesn't cook?"
Because he didn't care, Liu Bing didn't feel bad. If he had married Zhou Xiaofang, how could he have let her cook on the first day of their marriage?
Zheng Xinyue endured it again and again, thinking that since they had already obtained the marriage certificate, they definitely could not divorce. If they divorced again, it would be their fourth marriage, and it would be embarrassing to tell anyone about it.
Isn't it just cooking a meal? It's not like she doesn't know how to do it. She just needs to appease this old man.
After Zheng Xinyue finished cooking, Liu's mother looked even more proud.
"My daughter-in-law has prepared dinner. I'm going to eat now, so I won't chat with you anymore."
Everyone else couldn't help but give Liu's mother a thumbs up.
"You're amazing! You cooked for the new bride on the first day she got married. You're the first one to do that."
Liu's mother was very proud and went back to the house to eat.
Looking at the dishes on the table, she picked at them with her chopsticks and couldn't help but find fault with them.
"You're using too much oil to cook. Are you going to kill the oil seller? If you marry into our family, you have to know how to manage your life. If you're so extravagant, how much money will our Xiao Bing earn in the future? Use less oil next time, okay?"
When had Zheng Xinyue ever suffered such an injustice? She wanted to pick up the dish and dump it directly on Liu's mother's head, but when she saw Liu Bing standing beside her, she forced herself to hold back.
"Mom, I understand."
Liu Bing was quite satisfied with Zheng Xinyue's performance. Then the family started to eat. Liu's mother kept talking and kept setting rules for Zheng Xinyue.
When he talked about it later, he opened his mouth even more openly.
"Xiao Shen, I heard that your father is a big boss and runs his own business? Then is it okay to help my nephew find a job?"
Mother Liu's mouth was full of oil and her eyes were full of greed.
When she was eating, she would use the chopsticks to rummage around in the dish before finally picking up a piece to eat, as if she was searching for treasure.
This made Zheng Xinyue very sick. Zheng Xinyue was a person who paid relatively close attention to hygiene and was feeling upset at the moment.
"It's OK to arrange a job. My dad runs a winery and they're short of workers. Just hire someone. The salary is 30 yuan a month, with food and accommodation provided."
Zheng Xinyue thought that since she would only be there for three or four days, there was no need to get into a fight with them. Once she returned to the city, she and Liu Bing would live alone, and there wouldn't be so much trouble.
Liu Bing is young, in good health, and good-looking. He is a few years younger than her, so it would be prestigious to take him out.
It’s not that Kangfutang didn’t introduce her to potential partners, but they were all older men, some of whom were even divorced and had children.
Zheng Xinyue doesn't even look down on someone like this.
But then again, young and promising men also look down on her. Who wants someone who has been divorced twice?
So Zheng Xinyue always tried to please Liu Bing when she was with him.
When Liu's mother heard this, she frowned.
"Why let him be a worker? My nephew could do it. He's tall and smart. Ask your father to arrange a manager position for him. Two or three hundred a month is enough. We don't want more."
Zheng Xinyue was about to vomit blood. She had seen the nephew that Liu's mother mentioned. He came to the wedding.
He's quite tall, but he looks stupid, not smart at all. And he wants to be a manager? He'll definitely ruin his father's winery.
