Future mother-in-law

  "Are you out of your mind? Why pick the one who's penniless, a small-time pretty face? You'll be the one to suffer later." As Xu Yu'e spat out these words, she felt like she was scolding herself. She thought back to when she was young and didn't know how to choose, choosing Wen Shi Xuan, that good-for-nothing who had no money. The result was that after marriage, they struggled to raise children, never enjoying a single day of happiness.

  Mother's temper was clear and she only feared that her mother would scold her to death, waiting for Xu Yuer to finish venting her anger.

  She scolded her eldest daughter severely, but saw no reaction from her. After exhausting herself from scolding, Xu Yu'e sat back in her chair to rest, holding her forehead and thinking for a long time, unable to understand why she had given birth to such an incompetent daughter. How good it would be if she had given birth to a son, the only heir of the Wen family, and then she wouldn't have to worry about that second-rate family climbing over her own family's head.

  Weiwei saw Manman hadn't spoken for half a day, not fun. While chewing food, she said: "Sister, good or bad, you should at least respond to mom with one sentence."

  Xu Yujiao picked up her chopsticks and added another piece of meat to the little girl's bowl: "Eat your fill. You need to use your brain every day, you can't be like your sister. Your sister is too thin, some people said that they don't want to marry into our family because she's so skinny, they think it's bad luck."

  Upon hearing this, Wen Shixuan couldn't swallow a single bite of food. He understood that his wife was biased against him, and it wasn't about Manman, but about him.

  Xu Yu'e and Yuan Yuan both looked up at Wen Shi Xuan who had stood up.

  "Dad?" Yuanyuan asked.

  "You eat. I'll go down and have a bowl of noodles." Wen Shixuan left the dinner table, lowering his head to avoid his wife's eyes.

  As soon as he left, Xu Yujiao started complaining at the dinner table again: "Don't mind your dad. Does he think we're rich now? He's always finding fault with every meal. If he's capable, he shouldn't eat this meal and take his wife and kids to a restaurant to eat abalone and shark fin."

  Manman couldn't bear it any longer. Taking advantage of her mother and sister being engrossed in their meal, she quietly slipped away and entered the kitchen.

  Wen Shi-xuan sat on the threshold of the kitchen, lit a cigarette and smoked, his two eyeballs as still as wood.

  "Dad, I'll cook noodles for you. Do you want to add eggs? Or I remember there's still a tomato in the fridge." Manman walked in, opened the refrigerator door, took out the tomato, washed it clean in the vegetable sink, and cut it into eight slices with a knife board.

  The gas stove suddenly ignited with a pop, and Wen Shixuan came back to his senses, saying: "You haven't eaten either, let's scramble two eggs and cook two bowls of noodles."

  "No way. If Mom finds out that some eggs are missing, she'll say something."

  "What can she say? If she asks, just tell her I ate two bowls." Wen Shixuan only dared to speak in such a tone when his wife was not looking or listening.

  The noodles were quietly put into the pot and boiled, then a long chopstick was used to stir them quickly inside. With one stir, the noodles spread out and formed a blooming flower shape, making everyone's appetite open up and feeling delighted.

  The eldest daughter is not bad at all. Just saying that this gentle and quiet temperament, Wen Shi Xuan feels that as long as it's a man, he will be infatuated. So, when he says the following words, he is not standing on his wife's side, but rather feeling sorry for his daughter: "Manman, listen to your dad. You're great, Dad thinks you're better than Yuanyuan and Haosnow. It's okay if you can't find a partner for now, Dad will help you ask around. Dad doesn't believe that you'll have a bad marriage. So, we don't need to compromise ourselves, and don't think that you can't get married, so you have to choose someone who makes yourself suffer."

  "Dad—" Manman was relieved that the steam from the pot covered her small face with a layer of fog, hiding the two red eye sockets below.

  "Don't blame your mom." Wen Shixuan brought the words back, as the head of the household, he naturally hoped for a harmonious family and prosperity in everything. "Your mom is just like me, what I'm afraid of is that you'll be like her, marrying someone as useless as me, and ultimately suffering yourself."

  "I know, I understand." Manman replied. No matter how her parents were, they were still her own parents. The kindness of giving birth to her and raising her was something she had to repay. Therefore, no matter how angry or furious her mother was, she would not talk back. Her mother was also being forced by life, she understood.

  The noodles were scooped into two bowls, and the father and daughter each held a bowl and ate side by side. The stifling atmosphere in their hearts finally left the dinner table and dissipated.

  At night, she picked up a broom and swept away the pieces of broken bowls on the ground. Suddenly, Jiang Yan's solemn oath appeared before her eyes.

  There won't be any problem.

  He was decisive and confident, as if he had already won.

  Alas!

  She just felt he was like a child.

  The Night of the Grand Wedding

  Chiang's father and mother got off the plane without telling their son they had arrived. They first secretly checked into a hotel and invited Mo Wenyang's parents over for questioning.

  The young son went on vacation for a few days and immediately claimed that he had fallen in love with a girl at first sight, and would not marry anyone else. As parents, when they heard this, on the one hand, they were happy that their son was thinking of getting married, but on the other hand, they naturally worried about what kind of woman she was, who could make a man fall in love at first sight, and wondered if she was a fox spirit.

  Jiang's father and mother, especially his mother, were in such a state of mind at this moment.

  Fortunately, Mo's parents had heard their son, Mo Wenyang, talk about this before. As one of the masterminds behind that blind date dinner, Mo's father replied to Mr. and Mrs. Jiang's inquiry: "Wen Shirong is a colleague of mine at the municipal government, but we're not very close. Actually, Wen Shirong invited my son over just to take a look at his new car. I didn't expect him to invite so many girls over. Jiang Yan just went with Wenyang to have some fun and happened to meet that girl."

  "Is that girl your colleague's daughter?" It was said that the girl's parents might work in the municipal government, and were officials' children. Jiang Mu felt reassured.

  Ke Mo's father dared not to deny it, and clarified: "No. It was the elder sister of my colleague's older brother, who was about the same age as Jiang Yan, one year younger than Jiang Yan."

  So, Jiang Mu asked: "What does your colleague's older brother do?"

  "I'm not sure about this, I need to ask my colleague." said Mo's father.

  Jiang's mother thought, since this younger brother is already mixed up in the municipal government, this older brother must be doing no worse. With a sense of urgency, she immediately asked Mo Dad to take her to the municipal government to ask about Wen Shi Rong.

  As they walked to the municipal government office building, Mo's father took her on a walk and arrived at the door of an office with a sign that read "Security Department". Jiang Mu looked up and saw it, then immediately pulled Mo's father back: "This colleague of yours, what kind of official is he?"

  "He's the head of the motorcade. Now that he's older, they've given him a desk job and let him sit in an office." said Mo's dad.

  Jiang's mother turned pale as soon as she heard that her daughter's brother-in-law was just a driver.

  Seeing Jiang's mother's face didn't look very good, Mo Dad dared not to step into Wen Shi Rong's office casually, hesitated: "This——"

  "Go back." Jiang's mother said lightly, but her steps walked back without hesitation.
