After saying that, the knife in his hand slammed into the chopping board.

The old lady shuddered with fear.

I thought to myself, this man is really sick. He could be served by someone, but he insists on cooking for a woman, making himself smell of cooking fumes and making people laugh at him.

Just as he rolled his eyes, he saw Jiang Ruoli and Huo Xingzhou coming in from the door one after another.

Jiang Ruoli smiled with her eyes curved. When she spoke, her soft voice made the man's heart numb, and even half of her body was numb.

She had never seen anyone talk like that.

No wonder all those men can't take their eyes off her.

"Vixen." The old lady put her hands behind her back and muttered, "When you get married, you never know how your mother-in-law might dislike you."

The sound was not loud, but Jiang Ruoli still heard it.

"I don't know. I've never been married. How about giving it a try first?"

Mrs. Zhang: ...

Jiang Ruoli finished speaking with a smile on her face, "I heard that you have a very good reputation in the village. Everyone praises you for your good housekeeping skills and your wives are all very virtuous. If it weren't for this, the program team wouldn't have asked you to record the show, right?"

The old lady had been feeling upset just now, but now, upon hearing such praise, her face suddenly lit up with smiles. "Did they really say that?"

Jiang Ruoli: "Of course!"

Heard of it.

But they all have a bad reputation. Sister Niu also complained that the old lady was mean, stingy, and concerned about face. She either beat or scolded her daughter-in-law and had a very bad heart.

Otherwise, the three daughters-in-law would not go out to work and would not even go home for the New Year.

The old lady was delighted, her face full of pride. "Of course, everyone in Hongxing Village knows how good I, Old Lady Zhang, am at disciplining my daughters-in-law. It's a pity that living conditions were poor back then, and only three of my nine sons survived."

Jiang Ruoli gave a thumbs up and said, "You are really awesome."

That's really amazing. Even if she gave birth to children continuously, it would take at least nine years, just like a sow giving birth. If it were her, she wouldn't even dare to think about it.

Old Mrs. Zhang was a little flattered by Jiang Ruoli's praise, and even her tone of voice became much better. "You don't understand. At that time, we advocated honoring mothers. One more mouth means more productivity. More children and more strength is also a blessing."

Tang Jiujiu was very supportive and said, "It seems that being your daughter-in-law is a blessing from my past life."

"Yes." Jiang Ruoli smiled at Old Lady Zhang, "Look how good you are to your daughters-in-law. They all praise you and say that your family has the best life in this village. If that's the case, can you give me ten work points for no apparent reason, so that I can be happy too?"

The old lady was happy, but when she heard the word "work points", she instantly woke up and stared at Jiang Ruoli.

"What did you say?"

"Oh, I said you're good to your wife, give us some work points to make us happy." Jiang Ruoli took her arm and said, "You don't want to?"

Old Mrs. Zhang frowned.

She was silent for a few seconds, then quickly let go of Jiang Ruoli's hand and took a step back. "Um...you two should cook well. I feel a little dizzy. I'll go back to the room and lie down for a while."

Avoid it.

I was afraid that if I stayed any longer, Jiang Ruoli would pester me for work points.

Jiang Ruoli looked at the old lady's brisk steps and said with a smile, "See, to deal with some people, she doesn't even need fists, she just stays away."

Tang Jiujiu expressed admiration.

Huo Xingzhou smiled lightly, his tone very calm, "It seems that I don't have to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future."

He spoke bluntly, then added a softening remark, "You have sense and will be a good daughter-in-law."

Jiang Ruoli shook her head.

"Mr. Yang Jiang said, 'I don't care whether my mother-in-law treats me well or not. If she treats me well, I will provide for her in her old age. This is called reciprocity. If she treats me badly, I will ignore her. This is called karma. The only thing between her and me is affection. Whether it exists or not is entirely up to her."

"If the other party doesn't know how to be a mother-in-law, don't blame me for being ignorant. So, as a mother-in-law, for the happiness of your son, you should either pay, work hard, or keep your mouth shut. Treating your daughter-in-law well is loving your son."

Huo Xingzhou slowly turned the Buddhist beads in his hand, as if thinking, and said, "Don't worry, the Huo family will not treat you unfairly, let alone embarrass you."

Jiang Ruoli looked at the favorability value above his head.

Yes!

As a couple by agreement, and with a one-year term, there was no need for the Huo family to make things difficult for them.

What's more, she may not necessarily meet the Huo family.

Maybe he has already run away.

Just after I finished thinking about it, I found that the favorability value above Huo Xingzhou's head had increased.

"Mr. Huo." Jiang Ruoli changed the subject abruptly, "There are some things I know how to do."

It was as if she was telling him in this way that he didn't need to worry, that she was very sensible and knew what to do and what not to do.

After all, there is a 1 billion yuan contract. Will the boss care about the contract workers and worry about the future relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

That's too weird.

Huo Xingzhou said nothing and turned away.

The light cast his tall figure on the bluestone slabs at the door, and he felt an indescribable loneliness.

Jiang Ruoli didn't care. She stepped on his shadow and walked to the stove. She looked up and met Tang Jiujiu's curious eyes. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Tang Jiujiu smiled but said nothing.

She was wondering if Huo Xingzhou's repeated preference for Jiang Ruoli meant that their marriage agreement was a trap deliberately set by the other party in order to keep Jiang Ruoli by his side. Moreover, his words just now clearly showed that he wanted to bring her back to the Huo family in a legitimate way and gain the approval of the elders.

Could it be?

An idea suddenly popped up in Tang Jiujiu's mind, but as soon as the thought came out, she shook her head to deny it.

How can it be?

How could Huo Xingzhou fall in love with his best friend?

How do you explain the favorability value?

Unless there is a bug in the system.

Or maybe Huo Xingzhou just treated her as a stand-in for the popular heroine.

"Ali." Tang Jiujiu bit her lips lightly.

How to do?

Will A Li be forced to stay with Huo Xingzhou and wait for the charming heroine to come out and abuse her?

No!

The ending is so tragic!

Jiang Ruoli saw her struggling and asked, "What happened?"

Tang Jiujiu leaned close to her and whispered in her ear, "Ali, wake up. Love is not a good thing. It is poison. If you touch it, your whole body will be poisoned and you will die."

That's right.

It's poison.

She is a rational person.

So I decisively signed a contract with Fang Hao. I only needed to be his assistant and get a salary every month.

Jiang Ruoli patted her head and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

"That's good!"

Fang Hao stood not far away, watching the two people laughing and playing, with a dark and playful smile on the corner of his lips.

......

Half an hour later.

Dinner was served.

Braised wild rabbit, sweet potato porridge, scrambled eggs with shepherd's purse, and white flour buns.

Qiao Xingyu entered the room and shared the chopsticks with Bai Jing, praising her from time to time, "Following you, the food is good."

Jiang Ruoli, who was not far away:???

Is this man blind?

Just as I was about to retort him, I suddenly heard a 'bang' from Old Lady Zhang's room, as if something had collapsed...
