Chapter 23 My marriage does not allow compromise



Seeing her questioning eyes, Song Yuzhou was puzzled. As her eyes fell on a certain place, Song Yuzhou's face instantly turned red.

"That's not what I meant." Song Yuzhou said embarrassedly, "I mean, I don't want children."

"I really don't want to, not that I can't?" Jiang Zhining said.

Song Yuzhou's face was red as if water was about to seep out, and he said in a low voice to prove his innocence: "I can do it!"

Seeing him squeeze out the two words seriously, Jiang Zhining hummed: "Then I will believe you for the time being."

temporary……

"Ahem, I want to say that Song Chen and Song Ye have grown up. Because my brother has been in the army all year round and my sister-in-law has never taken care of the children before, they are both more sensitive. So I think it would be better for us not to have children for the time being."

Song Chen and Song Ye are sensitive people. If he and Jiang Zhining have their own children, they are afraid that they will become mentally unbalanced.

In addition, it is difficult to keep everyone equally, and he is also worried that some of his behavior may cause the children to misunderstand that he is biased.

So the best way is for him not to have children for the time being.

But in this matter, he also has to consider Jiang Zhining's opinion.

If she wanted to...

"Okay." Jiang Zhining agreed readily, "I agree to be a stepmother, but I don't want to have children."

She felt that being a mother was quite good. As long as the child was filial, whether he was her biological child or not was not important.

Hearing this, Song Yuzhou was slightly stunned: "Many girls don't want to be stepmothers. Do you mind? They have no blood relationship with you?"

"Giving birth might cause your figure to change, and you might also experience a difficult birth, a near-death experience. The thought of it is terrifying. So it's better to pick up a ready-made one and skip the whole process of giving birth."

Song Yuzhou looked at her. The girl in front of him was really different from any girl he had ever seen.

"Many people worry that those who are not related by blood will not be filial, but biological children may not be very filial either." Jiang Zhining smiled, "I will take care of them as if they were my own children."

Listening to her explanation, Song Yuzhou held her hand: "Thank you, Zhining."

"I will give them a year or two to get used to me as their stepmother, but if they really can't get used to me, I will give up," Jiang Zhining added.

After all, there is a limit to how much you can do when you are too eager to please someone.

"Okay." Song Yuzhou expressed his gratitude.

"Actually, there is another reason. If we get divorced in the future, we will have no ties without children and can leave freely." Jiang Zhining added suddenly.

She has seen too much news about many mothers who endure humiliation and maintain their marriages in order to give their children a complete home.

She felt that kind of life was too depressing and she didn't like it.

Song Yuzhou couldn't help but tighten his grip on her hand: "You want a divorce?"

"I like you now, and I feel how good you are to me, so I won't divorce you. But in the future, if you fall in love with someone else and become cold to me, if you betray this family, I will abandon you without hesitation. I won't tolerate compromise in my marriage."

As she spoke, Jiang Zhining's eyes were firm and she stared at him intently, showing her determination.

Song Yuzhou responded to her gaze and said seriously: "I will not betray you."

"Men's words are lies." Jiang Zhining took a step forward, closing the distance between them, and placed his hand on her waist, saying with a sweet smile, "So don't talk, just do it."

Suddenly, as they got closer, a faint fragrance entered his nose. Looking at that cute and delicate little face, Song Yuzhou's Adam's apple rolled.

My little heart started beating wildly again.

If he hadn't gone for a check-up a few days ago and the military doctor said he was doing very well, he would have thought he was going to die.

Song Yuzhou swallowed his saliva and looked at the pink lips. He suddenly had the urge to kiss her.

Just as sparks were about to fly, a childish voice rang out: "Dad, Xixi is hungry."

Seeing Xixi suddenly appear, Song Yuzhou jumped back as if he had been electrocuted. Seeing his reaction, Jiang Zhining's forehead showed several black lines.

Jiang Zhining turned around and stroked her head: "Mom will cook for you, okay?"

Through the bath, Xixi and Jiang Zhining became closer. "Okay." Xixi responded softly, opening her arms to hug Jiang Zhining's legs.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhining bent down, picked her up with a smile, and walked out.

In the kitchen, Jiang Zhining looked at what dishes were at home.

After searching for a long time, I found that there were not many ingredients. Obviously, they don't cook often.

"Xixi, go play with your brother first, I'll make you some noodles, okay?" Jiang Zhining said with a smile.

Although she didn't know what mixed noodles were, Xixi nodded obediently, turned around and ran off to play.

Jiang Zhining looked at the ingredients in front of her and then started working.

Since there was no tomato sauce, Jiang Zhining decided to make it on the spot.

First, cut the top of the tomato into a cross shape, put it into a pot of boiling water and cook for about 1 minute. Remove the tomato stems and simmer slowly, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Boil until the water is almost evaporated and the sauce becomes thick, then add a little sugar and salt. After doing this, Jiang Zhining poured the tomato sauce out of the pot and set it aside.

Next, we will start making the noodles.

First, dice the pork belly and mushrooms. Pour oil into the pan, add the scallions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Pour in the diced pork and stir-fry for a while. Pour in the diced mushrooms and stir-fry until softened.

At some point, Song Yuzhou had come behind her, silently watching her cook seriously.

Jiang Zhining pours in dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar, stir-fry until the diced meat turns bright red, add a bowl of water, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes.

Pour in half a bowl of water starch and cook until thick. After the noodles are cooked, remove from the pot.

The last step is to pour the tomato sauce over the noodles.

"What is this?" Song Yuzhou was puzzled.

"This is tomato and mushroom noodles. The kids will probably like it. Go call all the kids back to eat." Jiang Zhining said with a smile.

Song Yuzhou did as he was told, and soon the children all came back.

When they got home, Jiang Zhining cooked tomato and egg soup again.

When Song Ye saw the fragrant tomato noodles, his mouth almost watered: "It smells so good and looks delicious. What is this?"

"Then try it and see if it tastes good." Jiang Zhining said with a chuckle, "Xixi, eat first."

As she spoke, Jiang Zhining put the noodles into Xixi's mouth.

Xixi bit the noodles, her eyes shining: "Delicious, delicious!"

"Eat." Song Yuzhou said in a low voice.

Hearing him speak, Song Chen and Song Ye obediently picked up their chopsticks.

Song Chen ate the noodles with surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect Jiang Zhining's cooking skills to be so good.

"How is it? Do you like it?" Jiang Zhining asked expectantly.

"Delicious!" Song Ye nodded vigorously.

"Then eat more." Jiang Zhining said with a smile.

Song Ye took the risk. He thought that even if Jiang Zhining really wanted to harm them, he had to eat first.

It was the first time I ate such special noodles, it was so delicious that I cried.

Song Yuzhou looked at the children eating so happily, and saw Jiang Zhining looking at Xixi with tenderness in her eyes, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.
