Li Shaofen's hand holding the money trembled a little. She said to Ai Xiaoxia, "Xiaoxia, what you said before about Jingyuan is not unreasonable. After all, your father and I don't make much money. If Jingyuan goes to school, it will cost you money."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said to Li Shaofen, "Mom, we are all family. Jingyuan is my brother. This shouldn't happen. I was confused before, but I won't be so ignorant now."
Li Shaofen burst into tears at this time. She wiped her tears and said, "Then Jingyuan owes you this. When Jingyuan makes money in the future, let him..."
Ai Xiaoxia was a soft-hearted person who couldn't bear to see good people suffer. Before Li Shaofen could finish, she reached out to wipe her tears: "Mom, please don't say those inappropriate words. Just don't bother about the bad things my family and I did in the past."
Li Shaofen couldn't help but make Ai Xiaoxia cry out loud: "My child, Mom is finally relieved. Even if I die today, I can finally close my eyes."
She was really cautious before, fearing that her daughter-in-law would make a scene if she was unhappy. Mainly, her daughter-in-law was so brave that she either hanged herself or cut her wrists. She was so scared that she couldn't sleep at night.
Ai Xiaoxia helped Li Shaofen sit on the edge of the kang. "Mom, you'll live a long life. Don't say anything unlucky. Your best days are yet to come." Then she said, "Mom, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll go make you some food."
She was forced to change the subject. After all, she was embarrassed to death when she thought back to the previous owner's troubles with the demon. She had cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to commit suicide more than once. She didn't dare to think about it anymore because every time she did it, it was a socially disastrous scene. She didn't want to talk about the past anymore.
Lu Jingshen thought Ai Xiaoxia was hungry, so he said to Li Shaofen, "Mom, Xiaoxia and I will go cook."
Li Shaofen quickly stood up: "No need for you, I'll do it, you go back to the room and rest, Jing Shen's wedding leave is only a few days away, you two should talk more, that, I'll cook a few more dishes for lunch."
She was so happy that she was a little incoherent, and while talking she hurried out to prepare the food.
Ai Xiaoxia said to Lu Jingshen, "Then I'll go help Mom cook."
Lu Jingshen said: "Then I will accompany you."
With that, both of them followed Li Shaofen to the kitchen.
Lu Guojiu finally showed a relieved smile on their faces when he saw them. This was the first time the old man smiled with peace of mind after Lu Jingshen got married.
Li Shaofen came back with some firewood and saw Ai Xiaoxia in the kitchen. She quickly said to Lu Jingshen, "Boss, why are you so ignorant? You're newlyweds, hurry up and go back to the house with your wife. Your honeymoon leave is short to begin with, why don't you cherish it?"
Ai Xiaoxia must have had complicated feelings, because it was quite awkward to sit alone in the room with Lu Jingshen. It would be better for her to work here.
Of course, she also had her own selfish motives. Although she had the original owner's memories, she was still unfamiliar with the idea of cooking from a big pot. If she was asked to do it right away, she would still have many doubts.
So she needs to watch more and adapt as soon as possible, otherwise wouldn’t it be embarrassing if she makes mistakes when cooking in the future?
So she quickly said to Li Shaofen, "Mom, we have a lot of time to spend together in the future. It doesn't matter if I spend a little time with you. I'll help you cook and talk to you."
Lu Jingshen saw Ai Xiaoxia's blushing face and realized that the little girl was actually a little shy. He smiled and said to Li Shaofen to help Ai Xiaoxia out of the predicament, "Mom, let me go to the back garden to pick vegetables."
Li Shaofen smiled and said, "Okay, then you two go to the vegetable garden." Then, she went to the door to get the vegetable basket and put it directly in Ai Xiaoxia's hand: "Be careful, it rained yesterday, and the garden is slippery. Let Jingshen go to the difficult places."
Lu Jingshen scratched his head and looked at Ai Xiaoxia: "Let's go together?"
Ai Xiaoxia was holding the basket and knew she couldn't escape, so she could only agree and walked out of the house with Lu Jingshen and headed towards the back garden.
Lu Jingshen reached out and took the basket from Ai Xiaoxia's hand: "If you have any inconvenience at home, or if you need anything, just tell me directly. If I go back to the city for work in the future, I will come back on weekends."
Ai Xiaoxia then remembered that Lu Jingshen worked in the city and their family building had not been completed yet, so they had to live apart for the time being. This made her feel relieved.
She nodded: "Yeah, I see." After that, she felt that she had to express her opinion, so she continued: "Don't worry about the family, I will take good care of it."
"If there's anything urgent, go to my neighbor Uncle Dong's house and call my workplace. I've written the number on my calendar."
"knew."
After a few words, both of them fell silent again. After all, they were too unfamiliar with each other, and with today's incident, it was not right to bring it up, nor was it right not to mention it, so they didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, the vegetable garden is right in the backyard, just a few steps away.
After entering the vegetable garden, Ai Xiaoxia suddenly remembered, "Mom didn't tell us what vegetables to pick."
Lu Jingshen said, "Pick whatever you like to eat."
Ai Xiaoxia wasn't picky about food, and seeing tomatoes and peppers nearby, she said, "Just pick some."
After saying that, she took the basket from Lu Jingshen's hand, put it on the ground, squatted down, picked a few tomatoes and put them in the basket.
Lu Jingshen looked at the cucumbers in front of him and said, "I'll go over and pick some for you."
Ai Xiaoxia remembered that the original owner liked to eat cucumbers. She didn't expect that Lu Jingshen was not only handsome, but also very thoughtful.
Lu Jingshen put the cucumbers in the basket, then said to Ai Xiaoxia, "Just stay here and don't go in. It's muddy inside. I'll go pick some cowpeas and come back." As he said that, he strode into the garden.
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lu Jingshen's back and felt very emotional. This man was really good and was her legitimate husband. It would be nice to live a good life with him.
But his feelings towards her were a responsibility and a favor, but not love. Could a loveless marriage last? And if she were reborn again, what kind of life would she want to lead? She was still confused.
While Ai Xiaoxia was still distracted, Lu Jingshen picked a handful of cowpeas and brought them back: "It's almost done, let's go back." He picked up the basket and let Ai Xiaoxia walk in front.
Ai Xiaoxia nodded in agreement and followed Lu Jingshen back to the front yard.
Li Shaofen had already cooked the meal. Seeing them coming back, she said, "Wash your hands and go back to the house. We'll have dinner soon."
Ai Xiaoxia took the vegetable basin and said, "Mom, I'll go out and wash the vegetables. I'll wash them together while I wash my hands." Then she went out and put the basin in front of the well.
Lu Jingshen followed out: "I'll help you press the water."
Li Shaofen looked at the young couple in the yard, smiling from ear to ear, hoping that it would always be like this.
After the meal was prepared, a table was set up in the east room, the dishes were laid out, and then we started eating.
However, Lu Jingyuan did not come back for dinner, and no sensitive topics were discussed at the dinner table.
After dinner, Li Shaofen drove Lu Jingshen and Ai Xiaoxia back to their room and insisted that they spend more time alone together.
