Late at night, Chen Yu looked at the lights in Gu Yifeng and Shen Yueying's room not far away, and looked at it curiously for a while.
Shen Rongrong floated past him like a ghost.
"Are you feeling bad?"
Chen Yu looked back and saw her poking and stirring the soy milk powder in the cup of water, then handing it to him after mixing it evenly.
He took it and looked at Shen Rongrong, as if asking for the answer.
"It's just strange why the lights are still on in the middle of the night."
"On the wedding night, of course the candles must stay lit all night long."
Shen Rongrong got on the bed and stretched out her little hand to touch him again and again.
"If you don't come to sleep, I'll assume you're distressed."
"……without."
He was just very confused about what kind of relationship this woman had with him.
In his world, there has never been a person named Shen Yueying, but reality tells him that Shen Yueying does have a close relationship with him and even knows him very well.
Just as I was thinking about it, my thigh was pinched.
He smiled helplessly and nodded hurriedly. He drank the soy milk, washed up briefly, turned off the lights, squeezed into bed, and fell asleep with his jealous little wife in his arms.
…
On the other hand, Shen Yueying never expected that she would be hung high on the beam on her wedding night.
Her hands were painfully strangled by the rough rope, her body was swaying in the air, and her heart was filled with despair and anger.
Tears kept streaming down my cheeks, and finally the pain became unbearable and I cried for help.
Unfortunately, the surrounding dormitories were all occupied by relatives of the Gu family who had moved in. Her cries were swallowed up by those people’s coldness and ruthlessness, and there was no response at all.
The next morning, when it was still dark, two maids came in and roughly pulled up Shen Yueying, who was almost unconscious.
After being lowered by the rope, her hands were almost unable to move.
Before I could catch my breath, the eldest sister-in-law of the Gu family walked in arrogantly and said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, this new daughter-in-law looks a little sleepy. This is not good. It's only the second day and she's already lazy. How can she serve her parents-in-law well in the future? You have to get up early to serve tea to your parents-in-law, don't you know? Also, look at what you are wearing after taking off your wedding dress. It's old and ugly. It's really embarrassing for the Gu family! Your parents-in-law will definitely scold you when they see you."
She knew what kind of family she married into with her identity. Even though she knew before marriage that it would not be that simple, she felt that seeing her sister-in-law was like seeing her future self.
After being a daughter-in-law for many years, Gu Yifeng finally becomes a mother-in-law. She also has a younger brother. After her sister-in-law comes into the family, their target of bullying will probably be her.
At worst, once the child is born, my status will not be what it is now.
"Where's Gu Yifeng?" Shen Yueying crouched on the ground, smiling stubbornly, "Even if it's our wedding night, if you want to show me your power, you should at least send the groom over, right? Otherwise, what kind of marriage am I having?"
"Yifeng is out busy. As you know, we have a lot of things to do at home. Because of my third brother's matter, our whole family moved here and will live here for at least a few months... Then someone has to take care of the business. My wife and he went together last night."
"Haha..." Shen Yueying laughed out loud: "You mean, the groom didn't spend the wedding night and went out to work on his career?"
The eldest sister-in-law looked disdainful, spread her hands and asked the maid next to her: "Isn't this common? It's very common, right? You feel lonely and unbearable when your husband is not at home? Then you can apply for a divorce, and our Gu family will not stop you."
Shen Yueying finally understood.
This is not about accepting yourself at all.
It's just a pretext to give her a nominal position. Maybe if she doesn't do anything well, there will be a reason to 'divorce' her... They are still playing the old society's tricks.
"Since sister-in-law also feels ashamed, please help me find some clothes."
"That's no problem." The eldest sister-in-law raised her hand and called a servant next to her: "Go and bring in the clothes I was going to throw away for the second wife, so she can wear them for a while."
"Yes." After the maid agreed, she immediately went to her sister-in-law's room not far away to get the clothes.
Although it is going to be thrown away, the material and pattern are both top-notch.
"The dresses are very beautiful. Thank you, sister-in-law." Shen Yueying took it politely and touched one of the lilac-colored dresses: "Is this what Miss Hong Kong wears? I haven't seen such a style in China. It's really beautiful."
"A country girl... so ignorant," the eldest sister-in-law rolled her eyes, "This is an overseas product, what Hong Kong sister? Tsk."
Restraining the anger in her heart, Shen Yueying, at the urging of her sister-in-law, dragged her tired body, changed her clothes, and came to the room where her parents-in-law were temporarily staying.
Gu's parents were already sitting there, waiting for her to serve them tea.
Gu's mother kept complaining, "What a shabby place this is! The brick walls are cracked, and the ground is bumpy. If it weren't for the third child, I wouldn't have come here! I sprained my ankle, and I don't know where the new daughter-in-law is. People from the mountains really have no manners!"
When he turned around, he saw Shen Yueying coming and continued to say angrily: "I don't know what you did so early in the morning. You don't take your parents-in-law seriously at all. You have no manners!"
Shen Yueying listened to these words and looked around after entering the room.
The eldest sister-in-law handed her a bag of tea leaves and once again rolled her eyes and urged her: "What are you looking at? Do you want me to make you some tea and bring it over?"
She nodded, went to make tea herself, waited for the tea to turn red, then slowly walked to her parents-in-law with the tea in her hand.
Just as he was about to kneel down to serve tea, Gu's mother suddenly raised her hand and knocked the teacup to the ground! She frowned and scolded: "Look at how clumsy you are. You can't even hold a cup of tea steadily. What can I expect you to do in the future?"
Shen Yueying narrowed her eyes.
In her previous life in Chen Yu's family, even though the old woman had been spoiled by old man Chen all her life and was a little willful and aggressive, she had never been bullied like this!
She clenched her fists, trying to hold back the anger in her heart. She bit her lip, trembled, and knelt on the ground, crying, "Mom, I... I was hung up all night last night, and I'm really not feeling well. I didn't mean to do that. Please don't be angry."
Gu's mother slammed the table in anger and said, "Don't bring up what happened last night. You deserve it. If you still don't know the rules today, you'll be in trouble!"
Gu's father said impatiently, "Why don't you bring the tea over again? Are you waiting for us to treat you?"
Even the eldest sister-in-law of the Gu family sneered, "That's right, if you marry a daughter-in-law like you, don't ruin all the good luck of our Gu family... Ever since we decided to marry you, all three of our shipments have been cancelled. It's really... a bad omen, tut tut."
After she said that, the two old men of the Gu family became even more unhappy. The way they looked at Shen Yueying changed, and their tone became even more annoyed: "Hurry up! Get out after serving tea!" Shen Yueying's heart was full of hatred. She hated the people of the Gu family for treating her like this, and she also hated why she had used those means to marry Gu Yifeng in the first place. Now she really got what she deserved.
But things are done, and she will let the Gu family know that she, Shen Yueying, is not as simple as she seems on the surface, and she is not so easy to mess with!
She endured it silently, and just as she was about to leave after bringing out the tea, her mother-in-law urged her to leave, saying it was too hot after taking a sip of the tea and then splashing it all over her.
"Don't you know what the tea temperature should be? Are you going to scald me to death? Bah, bah, bah, no need to offer tea! I heard that you criticized your sister in public for not cooking good dishes. I don't know how good your cooking skills are. The army dormitory does not allow too many strangers. We only have two nannies and they have to take care of me. Today's breakfast is your responsibility! Get out of here, and have the servants bring the meal in after it's done. Don't come over here. I get a headache just seeing you!"
When Shen Yueying came out of her parents-in-law's dormitory, she happened to see Shen Rongrong coming over with some gifts.
"Sister." She greeted with a smile as usual, but when she saw the rope mark on her sister's wrist, her smile suddenly became even sweeter: "How was your wedding night last night?"
