Bai Xi had no idea what he was thinking, otherwise she would have definitely spat in his face.

Who the hell feels safe living in a rented house? It's not your own place, and you could be moved out at any time. You can't put your heart into decorating your home just because it's rented.

At this point, Yang Zhi said, "I bought both of these adjacent apartments on this floor. We'll open a door through the middle wall, which will make the space much larger. We'll live here after we get married. After opening it up, we'll renovate it, and the apartment will look more spacious and bright."

Bai Xi nodded, her thoughts now completely following Yang Zhi's words.

The next morning, Bai Xi and Yang Zhi went to get their marriage certificate and then went to Yangjia Village in the suburbs to meet Yang Zhi's parents.

They also set up a few tables in Yangjia Village to invite relatives and friends to witness the Yang family's remarriage of their son and to let Bai Xi get to know the Yang family's relatives.

After having meals at the homes of several close elders in the village, he returned to work in the city.

Once everything settled down, the couple discussed using the remaining money in their account to buy a shop and open a hot pot restaurant.

They also need to renovate their current house, but Bai Xi doesn't need to worry about any of that. Yang Zhi has the experience, and he's the one who's handling all of that.

……

Busy as we are, time flies by, and before we know it, it's Chinese New Year again.

This year, Hu Mingpeng will spend the Spring Festival at the Hu family home. Since Bai Xi's house will be under renovation and will be empty for a while, Bai Xi and her husband will go back to the Yang family home for the Spring Festival. Although Bai Xi is no longer a new bride, it is her first year married into the Yang family.

No matter what, they had to go home for the Chinese New Year. Mr. and Mrs. Yang called, urging them to come home as soon as possible.

Everyone in Yangjia Village has the surname Yang, except for the wives who married into the village.

Because Yang Zhi is an only child, his family is small, consisting of only three people. Ming Peng used to be there too, but now even the child is no longer a member of the Yang family, so the New Year celebrations are a bit quiet.

However, before the Lunar New Year, Bai Xi found out she was pregnant, which made Yang's parents overjoyed. As soon as Bai Xi returned, they not only stopped enjoying their daughter-in-law's care, but treated her like their grandson.

This year, when she went home for the Chinese New Year, she was so fair-skinned that she didn't have to do anything. The Yang family valued this pregnancy very much.

This is the next generation of the Yang family. Yang's mother cherishes her very much. Even after she went back to her hometown, she didn't let her do any work. She just played mahjong with the women in the village all day long.

Bai Xi didn't know how to play mahjong, but the Yang family ran a small shop with two mahjong machines. When the women in the village had nothing to do, they would come to Yang Zhi's house to play a couple of rounds of mahjong. When they didn't have enough people, they would ask Bai Xi to come and make up the numbers.

Speaking of this small shop, Yangjia Village is very large, and Yang Zhi's house is located right in the middle of the village, on the side of the road.

People come and go here, but Mr. and Mrs. Yang are old and can't do much farm work.

After Yang Zhi made some money a few years ago, he built a two-story house for the two elderly people in the village.

Because the two elderly people couldn't stay idle, Yang Zhi opened a small shop like a mini-supermarket for them on the first floor.

Once the small shop opened, Yang's mother stayed to run it, while Yang's father took care of the family's orchard. Yang Zhi planted fruit trees on all of the Yang family's land.

As long as they don't have to farm, the two elderly people are much more relaxed, and Yang Zhi doesn't have to worry about his parents at home, so he can go out to work with peace of mind.

Today was another day for Bai Xi to be a substitute, and we lost pretty badly.

She lost more than two thousand in just one noon. When Bai Xi saw Yang Zhi coming over, she quickly called him over to help.

Bai Xi is a beginner and plays cards rather slowly. Today she was playing with her sisters-in-law, who kept chasing her to play her cards, making her nervous. Sometimes she didn't even see the cards clearly before the other players won.

"Have some honey water first." Yang Zhi placed the warm water he had poured for Bai Xi next to her; it was too dry with the air conditioning on in winter.

Someone nearby joked, "What's wrong? Does your husband only see you and treat us like we're invisible?"

The speaker was Wang Yi, the second daughter-in-law of Yang Zhitang's third uncle's family. She was easygoing and liked to joke.

She was just joking; there was a thermos of hot water right next to the mahjong table.

Yang Zhi gives the impression of being taciturn, so she wasn't saying this to Yang Zhi, but to Bai Xi.

Sister-in-law Yang chimed in, "Second sister-in-law, you're just being glib. If Yang Zhizhen were to pour you water, your husband would beat him up."

"Don't worry, your second brother is very easygoing and won't hold a grudge." Wang Yi waved her hand dismissively.

Bai Xi deliberately acted angry and said, "Hmph! Second sister-in-law is pointing this out on me. She knows I'm stingy and like to hold grudges."

After saying this, Bai Xi gave Wang Yi a slightly shy and coquettish look.

Bai Xi's exaggerated performance amused the people present.

Especially Sister-in-law Yang, who laughed the loudest, slapping her thigh vigorously as she laughed and said:

"Haha, oh my, so my sister-in-law is so fun! You have no idea, when you first came to our village you were so shy and timid, following closely behind my cousin Yang Zhi. We thought you were the kind of person who was particularly shy."

Seeing her sister-in-law laughing so unrestrainedly, Wang Yi was afraid that Bai Xie would feel embarrassed, so she quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Sister-in-law, you're really something. Your sister-in-law is having fun, but you can't be this happy about it."

Bai Xi didn't mind. After spending so many days together, she knew Yang Da Sao well. Bai Xi liked Yang Da Sao's personality; she was simple, easy to understand, and didn't have many hidden agendas.

"It's alright, we're all family, why bother with such details?"

"You three sisters-in-law have such a good relationship. I'm so envious. You always call each other family. Aren't you afraid that I, who am not a member of the Yang family, will overthink things?" Yang Fen, who was watching the commotion from the side, said with feigned envy.

Yang Fen is a girl from the Yang family in the village, but not from Yang Zhi's branch of the family. She is beyond the fifth degree of kinship and is considered Yang Zhi's cousin.

She married the youngest son of the Liu family in the village. People of Yang Zhi's generation had to call her husband "uncle." Her husband and Yang Zhi's father were of the same generation.

The way people address each other is a bit complicated, so everyone calls each other by their own names. They call her husband "uncle," and when they call her, they call her "sister."

Wang Yi: "Since the three of us don't have the surname Yang, shouldn't we try to stick together?"

Sister-in-law Yang chimed in, "That's right. Every time there's a fight, there are always more of you Yang family members. In order not to suffer losses, shouldn't we, the daughters-in-law who have married into the family, be more united?"

The wives chatted amongst themselves, while Yang Zhi, who had initially started the conversation, didn't get a chance to say a word, quietly teaching Bai Xi how to play cards.

Bai Xi had already called for the cards, and her eyes were only focused on the cards played by the other three players. She almost threw down the cards she had just drawn.

Fortunately, Yang Zhi stopped her, saying, "Silly woman, don't you even look at the tiles you're drawing? Pregnancy really does make you stupid for three years. You don't even know when you draw a tile yourself. You can win right now."

After saying that, he looked at his stunned wife and couldn't help but ruffle her hair again.

Bai Xi was genuinely surprised! Another chance to win? Well, Bai Xi has made this kind of blunder several times before, either missing the chance to win or being the one to falsely claim a win.

So it's not unfair that Bai Xi lost money today.

Sister-in-law Yang was overjoyed to hear that Bai Xi was like this. They had already taken advantage of Bai Xi's good fortune several times today. "Hahaha, it's almost Chinese New Year, and my sister-in-law is giving us lucky money."

Wang Yi also said, "I've never had good luck playing cards before. I only have a chance to win money when I play with my younger siblings, and I always win without even trying."

Yang Fen also said, "It's okay, your Yang Zhi is good at making money, just consider it as giving us New Year's money."
