Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

When the kerosene lamp was blown out, the whole room became dark.

The mother and daughter then began their late-night conversation.

"My dear, have you been bullied here?" Mrs. Shang said with great concern.

"No, Mother. I'm doing fine here." Shang Yanfang didn't want to tell her mother about those unpleasant things.

"So, how did you two meet Gao Jianguo?" Shang's mother was very worried about her daughter's relationship.

"That mother of mine helped us when we first came to the countryside, and we gradually got together," Shang Yanfang said vaguely.

“Alright then, I think that young man is alright. I’ll go to his house tomorrow, and if it’s possible, I’ll get your marriage arranged while I’m still here,” Mother Shang said decisively.

"Mother~" Shang Yanfang doesn't want to get married so early anymore.

"Sleep well, sweetie." Madam Shang had no desire to continue. Although she agreed to her daughter's marriage, she would still miss her.

That night, Shang Yanfang slept soundly in her mother's arms.

Shang's mother watched over her daughter until late at night before finally going to sleep.

The next morning, Shang Guokang woke them up very early.

Shang Guokang slept very well last night, but he woke up early this morning hungry. He wandered around the house where his sister lived in the backyard.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Shang Guokang thought he should wait a while; maybe his sister would wake up soon.

It was almost noon when Shang Guokang finally went up and knocked on the door.

"Mom, sister, second sister, the sun is already high in the sky."

Shang Yanfang was woken up by the noise. She opened her sleepy eyes, glanced at her watch, and saw that it was already 8:30.

"Mom, it's 8:30, let's get up!" Shang Yanfang called out to her mother, who was still sleeping beside her.

"Okay, sure." Mrs. Shang also woke up.

"Mother, sister..." Shang Guokang continued to knock on the door from the outside.

"He's awake, wait a moment," Shang Yanfang quickly replied to her younger brother.

Upon hearing the response, Shang Guokang returned to his original seat.

"Guokang, is your sister still not awake?" Gao Jianguo walked over.

"Oh, brother-in-law, you're here. My sister is awake and will be up soon."

"Have you eaten?" Gao Jianguo asked his brother-in-law.

"No, the food is all in my sister's room. My sister hasn't gotten up yet." Shang Guokang said with a hint of resentment.

"Then come to my place for something to eat later, I made some steamed buns today," Gao Jianguo suggested.

"Okay, brother-in-law."

"Hey, Jianguo, what brings you here?" Shang Yanfang came out of the house.

"Come see if you've had breakfast yet."

"Nope."

"Then let's go to my house for something to eat. I made some steamed buns today," Gao Jianguo said.

"Okay, I'll ask my mother."

"Why are you asking me?" Madam Shang came out of the house.

"Mom, Jianguo made steamed buns today and invited us to come and eat." Shang Yanfang told her mother about Gao Jianguo's purpose in coming.

"Okay, then we'll go after we wash up." Mrs. Shang was also a little hungry.

“Okay, no rush,” Gao Jianguo, who was sitting next to Shang Guokang, said.

"Then let's go wash up first. Xiaokang, if you're hungry, make yourself a cup of malted milk powder."

"Okay, I got it, sis." Shang Guokang replied and went to prepare the malted milk powder.

"Brother-in-law, have some malted milk powder." Shang Guokang also made a cup of malted milk powder for Gao Jianguo.

"Just leave it there!" Gao Jianguo said, taking the bowl of malted milk powder.

Shang Guokang went back to his room and took out a bag of peach shortbread to eat together.

"Let's go!" Shang Yanfang and her mother had also finished washing up.

"Have some," Gao Jianguo said, handing the malted milk powder to Shang Yanfang.

Shang Yanfang took the bowl and drank it all.

"Guokang, come here, help your mother carry this." Shang's mother took out a mesh bag containing a few apples and several canned goods.

"Is Mother going to give this to my brother-in-law's family?"

"Yes." After receiving his mother's affirmative answer, Shang Guokang stopped asking questions.

"Mom, are you ready? Let's go!" Shang Yanfang urged from outside the door, seeing that it was almost nine o'clock.

"Alright," Shang's mother replied and came out of the room with Shang Guokang, who was carrying a net.

"Auntie, there's no need to take anything. Just leave it here for Yanfang to eat," Gao Jianguo said, declining the bag of things.

“Yanfang has some left, but this is for your grandfather, not for you to eat. You can’t refuse.” Gao Jianguo really couldn’t refute what Shang’s mother said.

"Let's go back then!" Gao Jianguo and Shang Guokang led the way, while Shang Yanfang and her mother walked behind hand in hand.

"Brother-in-law, is this your house? It's quite nice," Shang Guokang said, pointing to a brick house.

In comparison, Gao Jianguo's house was rebuilt two years ago, and it's still made of bricks. It's much better than the surrounding houses built with mud.

"Yes, it was built a few years ago," Gao Jianguo said, leading the group toward his home.

The matriarch nodded in satisfaction from behind.

"Grandpa, Yanfang and the others are here," Gao Jianguo said as he saw his grandfather sitting on the eaves.

"Girl, you're here! Have you eaten? I made some steamed buns today, have some." Old Master Chen said as soon as he saw Shang Yanfang.

"Grandpa, I haven't eaten yet, I'll eat later. Let me introduce you to my mother and my younger brother."

"Alright, alright, hello in-laws." Old Master Chen quickly shook hands with Madam Shang.

"Uncle, there's no need to be so polite, please sit down," said Madam Shang, helping Old Chen to his feet.

"Grandpa Chen, this is a gift my mother brought for you," Shang Guokang said, placing the item in front of Grandpa Chen.

"Good, good, good boy. Yanfang said you haven't eaten yet. Go and eat quickly." Old Master Chen looked at the tall and strong Shang Guokang with great fondness.

"Uncle, have you eaten?" Shang's mother asked politely.

"I've eaten, I've eaten. They're all good kids." Old Master Chen looked at them with a gratified expression.

Even at his age, he still likes those good kids.

"Auntie, Guokang, let's eat!" Gao Jianguo called to the group as soon as he got home and started preparing.

"Jianguo, you're here." Shang's mother led her son into the main room.

"Brother-in-law, did you make all of this yourself?" Shang Guokang looked at the steamed buns, porridge, and pickled vegetables on the table with disbelief.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Gao Jianguo looked at his brother-in-law with a puzzled expression.

"No, no brother-in-law, I just thought you're such a good person, no wonder my sister fell for you. I definitely want to find a wife just like you in the future." As soon as Shang Guokang finished speaking, he received a loving slap from his mother.

"Jianguo, don't listen to that brat's nonsense. There's no need to treat us to such good things. Just make what you usually eat." Shang's mother looked at the large white steamed bun with meat in her hand.

“It’s alright, Auntie. We eat like this all the time,” Gao Jianguo said.

Shang's mother said, "..." This child is too honest. He is treated to the best hospitality but lies and says that he usually eats like this.

Who can afford to eat meat and refined grains every day? Even his five workers wouldn't dare to eat like that.
