Daily life of working as a substitute bride for a wealthy family

Xiang Ran followed Sheng Yang to the small garden taken care of by Jiang Yu.

Because there are too many flowers and trees, people standing inside seem cramped.

Sheng Yang glanced at his "wife". Her delicate face was full of collagen and she still looked very well-behaved at the moment.

"Mind if I smoke a cigarette?" he asked, taking out a cigarette and lighting it.

In fact, I wasn't asking her at all, I was just saying hello.

Xiang Ran shook his head.

She really didn't care. There weren't many high-quality boys around her, and when she was a child, the men in the village wanted to smoke, but they never followed the women's opinions.

Sheng Yang took a puff of his cigarette and said, "You can refuse things you don't like doing in the future."

"Ah?" Xiang Ran looked up.

Sheng Yang frowned: "Doesn't your hand hurt? Does it hurt when the burned part of your hand touches something spicy?"

"It's okay!" Xiang Ran scratched the burned area with her finger and said stubbornly: "It's not that I don't like peeling peppers. It's not chili pepper, so it's not very spicy."

"You also know about chili peppers? I thought Miss Su didn't know the difference between different grains." Sheng Yang asked with a smile.

"I don't know the difference between grains, but I happen to know peppers. The one I just peeled was screw peppers." Xiang Ran said with a smile.

Sheng Yang shook his head. "This time it was screw peppers, next time it might be chili peppers. Just a reminder—my mother is the type who's crazy about controlling others, and no one in the Sheng family listens to her. Do you want to be the first person in the Sheng family to listen to her?"

Xiang Ran heard this tone.

Sure enough, Sheng Yang's relationship with his mother seemed to be as bad as the rumors said.

She was still quite surprised when he said it so bluntly.

This mother had done so many things to discourage him.

"Shh..." Xiang Ran turned around and glanced back, pretending to be afraid that her mother-in-law was standing behind her. She said nervously, "Don't say that about your own mother."

Sheng Yang put out his cigarette. "Although everyone says that there are no perfect parents, remember, this statement may not be true, at least in the Sheng family. In the future... you will slowly understand."

Xiang Ran already knew this truth.

No one understands the meaning of this sentence better than the girls who came out of the mountains.

Poor families usually treat girls as tools to be exploited, and all the family's strength is used to support boys.

So Xiang Ran hates "poverty" and loves "money".

"Thank you."

Half of this sentence was her true feelings. After all, it was not easy for a rich man like him to think that "there are no perfect parents in the world" was a fallacy like her.

Sheng Yang shrugged. "Thanks? I—I'm just afraid you'll go back to the Su family and cry. Come on, go in!"

Oh, so that’s it.

Xiang Ran understood: Even if Su Yiqing was really weak, the Sheng family probably wouldn't bully her without any bottom line - because she had the Su family behind her.

Sheng Yang defended her probably not out of a husband's love for his wife - but because he thought his mother-in-law's behavior was not decent, bringing shame to the Sheng family and making them a laughing stock of the Su family.

-

Sheng Yang's aunt Jiang Ying was also at the table.

Jiang Ying is Jiang Yu's cousin. Her son was a freshman in college last year, so Jiang Ying left her hometown and came to H City.

She is actually equivalent to an hourly worker on Jiang Yu's side.

When no one was around, Jiang Ying endured all of Jiang Yu's complaints and nagging, so although she was not very old, she looked much older than Jiang Yu.

At this time, Jiang Yu was just picking up food for Sheng Yang while bragging about how clever, gentle and virtuous she was when she was young.

While her "mother-in-law" was talking nonstop, Xiang Ran was the only one who nodded in agreement with her.

Sheng Yang remained silent and cold.

However, he quietly used a public spoon to scoop a spoonful of fried eel shreds in front of Xiang Ran.

Xiang Ran was overwhelmed when she saw it.

When she was a child, she would sometimes follow her uncle to the wild to fish for eels and catch frogs. She felt like vomiting every time she saw an eel being bled.

So she didn't eat bullfrogs and eels, and could only hold her chopsticks and wink at Sheng Yang in embarrassment.

Sheng Yang was also stunned. He didn't know his wife well. Even if they had met a few times before marriage and perhaps talked, he had lost his memory and couldn't remember.

But he was a thoughtful person after all, and he quickly realized that she probably didn't like this dish. He was about to add another spoonful of shredded eel to Xiang Ran, but instead he put it in his own bowl.

Jiang Yu caught a glimpse of the young couple's eye contact and felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, after waking up, Sheng Yang recognized himself and his relatives, and remembered almost everything in the past, except his wife.

While in the hospital, Jiang Yu felt for the first time that her son, who had ignored her before, seemed to be closer to her.

And all signs also indicate that the relationship between the newlyweds has become even colder because of the accident.

Jiang Yu saw it and was happy in her heart. She also wanted to take the opportunity to hold her son tightly in her hands.

After all, Sheng Yang is now back at Yixing Group, and she should have gotten over the unhappiness she felt when she was humiliated by the Sheng family before...but unexpectedly, this son treats his wife quite well?

Seeing that the new daughter-in-law did not appreciate her son's kindness - she didn't even eat a single bite of the eel.

Jiang Yu was a little angry.

A picky eater cannot be a good daughter-in-law of the Sheng family.

She deliberately picked up another piece of eel and gave it to Xiang Ran: "Eat more, you will be a mother in the future, your grandparents are old, and the Sheng family doesn't have a fourth generation yet. Speaking of which, you have been married for several months. If you can get married before..."

Xiang Ran almost choked on the food.

Her mother-in-law is really tough in her speech...

Unexpectedly, Sheng Yang suddenly interjected, "What do you mean? Eating eels can give birth to a legitimate great-grandson? Your son's injury has just healed, and mother wants to give me some kind of target?"

Seeing her son getting annoyed, Jiang Yu was still a little afraid of Sheng Yang, so she quickly changed her words: "No. Judging from the way your cousin is dressed, I think he doesn't want to get married anymore. There's probably no hope for him from his uncle's side, so you should..."

"How do you know that there is no hope for my uncle? With the development of technology now, not to mention my cousin, even if my uncle wants to have a child, it may not be impossible. And whether my cousin gets married or not has nothing to do with anyone else. Don't be so tactless as to go to the old house and talk about this with grandpa... As for when we consider having children, we have our own considerations." Sheng Yang put down his chopsticks after he finished speaking.

Jiang Yu was choked by Sheng Yang, and his face turned ugly: "What? Did I say something wrong?"

When Sheng Yang saw his mother like this, he felt a little contempt in his heart.

But because his wife was there, he tried to be patient: "Mother, you misunderstood. We are full. I remembered that I have something to do in the afternoon, so I have to leave first."

He stood up again and said to Xiang Ran, "Let's go!"

Xiang Ran didn't expect Sheng Yang to be so fierce.

He quickly stood up and greeted Jiang Yu and Jiang Ying.

Jiang Yu was still thinking about packing the food for them to take back, but Sheng Yang ignored her and pulled Xiang Ran away.

-

After getting into the car, Xiang Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Sheng Yang couldn't help but laugh.

Xiang Ran asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

"I was wondering - if I hadn't taken you away just now, would you have eaten a bite of eel at the end?"
