As for Miao Shaozhen, Ji Ling admitted that she didn't like her.

She has lived two lives, so logically her thoughts should be more open, but she admits that she is very old-fashioned in this regard. She cannot accept that an "innocent" little girl is the boss of a gang.

Miao Shaozhen is not a knight-errant. She just does things when there is benefit or profit. For example, the last time she had someone throw a glass bottle into the Zhu family's yard, it was enough to show that she was not as naive as she seemed.

To sum it up in one sentence, Ji Ling thinks Miao Shaozhen is fake, so she doesn't like him.

Mrs. Zhu's explanation just now was also very interesting. She mentioned that it was inconvenient, and her implication was that she was on guard against Miao Shaozhen.

But after a while, it was still Miao Shaozhen who came back with the food.

Old Mrs. Zhu had some dissatisfaction so she sent the person away, but who would have thought that when the person came back it was still her. However, the old lady hid it very well and did not show it.

"What can we eat? We are both very hungry." Old Mrs. Zhu asked Miao Shaozhen again, "Shaozhen, have you eaten yet?"

"No, I was afraid the food would get cold and you would have to wait too long, so I brought my food back with me."

"Okay, okay, let's eat together."

Ji Ling said she was going to get the bowls and chopsticks, but Miao Shaozhen stopped her and said, "Sister, today is your big day, just sit there and don't move, just wait for the meal."

Ji Ling had already gotten up. She smiled and thanked him, then said, "You can call Weidong Big Brother and call me sister-in-law."

Miao Shaozhen smiled and said, "I always feel that calling you sister-in-law makes you look old. When I'm with Ji Ke, we always call each other by our first names. I can't just call you by your first name, so how about calling you sister?"

"No." Old Madam Zhu said with a smile, "How can this be? If you call her sister and Weidong brother, then wouldn't outsiders misunderstand that they are brother and sister? Just call her sister-in-law."

Miao Shaozhen smiled and curved her eyebrows, "Okay, sister-in-law."

After calling people, they went to the back room to get the dishes and chopsticks.

Old Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "Shaozhen is very naive and is well protected by his grandfather."

Ji Ling couldn't say anything against her will. From her grandmother's expression, she knew she didn't know Miao Shaozhen was the leader of the gang. She just smiled and didn't respond or say much. Besides, Miao Shaozhen left and came back quickly, so she and her grandmother didn't have time to say much.

Miao Shaozhen brought back four dishes, one fish, one meat and the other two were vegetarian dishes.

As a bride, eating these four dishes looked a bit shabby. Old Mrs. Zhu frowned and ate while chatting. She turned the topic to the dishes, "They must have been very busy after you went there. Who did you find to go to the kitchen to prepare the food for you?"

"Everyone was talking to relatives and guests, so I didn't dare to say anything. I went to the kitchen and told them I wanted to take the food away. They said they had some leftovers from these four dishes, so they heated them up for me." Miao Shaozhen even put a piece of fish into Mrs. Zhu's bowl, "Grandma, try this fish. It tastes great. This is the first time I've eaten such delicious fish since I was a child. And the meat melts in your mouth. It's really delicious."

When Mrs. Zhu heard her say it was delicious, she gave her a piece and said, "If you like it, eat more. You are growing up now."

Turning around, he picked up some vegetarian food for Ji Ling. "You've been having pregnancy problems. Do you still have to eat only vegetarian food?"

"Then don't eat it for now. It's not good for your health." Mrs. Zhu said, "When we return to the capital, I know a few friends who can make medicinal food. Let them make you some nutritious porridge."

Before Ji Ling could say thank you, she heard Miao Shaozhen blame herself and said, "Grandma, I forgot that my sister-in-law can't eat meat. Should I go back to the restaurant and get some dishes?"

"No, no, I'm eating well. Aren't there two vegetarian dishes?" Ji Ling said with a smile, "It's the same when we usually eat. I'll watch everyone eat meat. It has nothing to do with what dishes you bring back."

Miao Shaozhen nodded, "That's good, otherwise I would feel so guilty. I can't even handle such a small matter on such a happy day. I don't want my sister-in-law to have any regrets."

She kept apologizing like this, as if Ji Ling had been blaming her. Ji Ling didn't know what to say, but just smiled and said it was okay and she was overthinking.

"Okay, your sister-in-law won't think too much, so you don't need to be so nervous." Old Mrs. Zhu smiled and changed the subject, "Shaozhen, we are going back to the capital tomorrow. Have you packed your things? Go back after dinner and pack your things. When you get to the capital, your uncle will find a teacher to help you with the knowledge points for the exam. Time is short, so you have to work hard and try to get a good score."

"Don't worry, grandma. I packed my things yesterday. You don't have to rush back. I'll leave after aunt and the others come back." Miao Shaozhen winked at Ji Ling, "I still want to see the wedding night."

Ji Ling: I clearly don’t want to vomit, but now I feel a little nauseous.

"Your sister-in-law is pregnant, so she won't make trouble in the bridal chamber. You'd better go back early. If you leave, spend more time with your grandfather. Once you pass the nursing exam, you won't have much time to spend with him."

"Okay, then I'll go back to accompany my grandfather after I finish eating." Miao Shaozhen agreed.

After dinner, Old Lady Zhu didn't have Miao Shaozhen to help her clean up, so she urged her to go back. This time Miao Shaozhen left very happily and really left like that.

Ji Ling breathed a sigh of relief and even felt a little tired.

"I'll clean up the dishes. You've been busy all day. You go back to your room and lie down." Old Mrs. Zhu also asked Ji Ling to go and have a rest.

Ji Ling did not agree and insisted on helping Old Lady Zhu clean up the table before going back to her bridal chamber to lie down.

The kang was covered with a red quilt with a large phoenix satin surface. Lying on the quilt, one could feel the heat slowly coming from the kang. Ji Ling had gotten up early in the morning and was indeed tired, so she pulled a small blanket from the side and covered herself with it.

In a daze, she vaguely heard someone talking, but her eyelids were too heavy and she tried several times to open them without success, so she fell into a deep sleep again.

In the room, it was Old Mrs. Zhu who was speaking.

"Why don't you send some food back? I asked Shao Miao to get it, and the restaurant only gave the leftovers to Shao Zhen. I don't care what I eat, but Xiao Ling is pregnant and didn't eat much. Shao Zhen is too lively, and I don't have the energy to entertain her at my age. Xiao Ling has been busy all day."

Sitting in the room were Zhu Weidong and his four younger brothers.

Ji Ling listened obediently to Mrs. Zhu's lecture. Mrs. Zhu was afraid that the loud noise would startle Ji Ling who was sleeping. "Well, you are tired these days. We can't accommodate you at home. When you go to the guesthouse to meet your parents, let them have a good rest. We will go back tomorrow."
