Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

Chapter 54 Arnold's Harmful Acts

In the afternoon, Shen Menghan took a vegetable basket to the field to pick vegetables, and then washed them by the stream. She did it so skillfully. Li Zhicheng followed behind her, watching her happy and carefree like a bird that had been given a free rein. He was genuinely happy for her.

If it were him, would he be so content? Living here, leading an ordinary life, working at sunrise and returning at sunset, regardless of whether the cattle, sheep, or horses have run away, they will obediently return on time.

Asking him to go up the mountain to dig up wood and carry hundreds of pounds of wood on his shoulders is something he can't do.

Shen Feng cooked with them.

She was cooking, and Shen Menghan was tending the fire, the flames crackling loudly.

"Mom, how about we bring Grandma out with us tomorrow?" Shen Menghan wanted to be with them and let them enjoy family time.

“We’ll see. Your grandmother has had rheumatism for a long time, and it’s not easy to cure it all at once. Besides, you don’t earn money easily, so don’t waste it. If she really needs to go to a big hospital for a checkup, I won’t let her have her way.” As Shen Feng spoke, her hands kept turning the shovel, and her eyes did not look at her daughter.

“Mom, I’ve changed jobs and my income is twice as good as before. I can support you. Also, Linglong is back, and she can help take care of Grandma. You’re still so young, you can pursue your dreams again.”

Shen Menghan looked at her mother. If it weren't for her, her mother wouldn't have survived like this for the rest of her life.

"Don't talk nonsense. Your mother is old and doesn't have any dreams. All I hope for now is that you can work hard and earn money to support yourself in the future. As for your grandmother and me, you don't need to worry about us." After Shen Feng returned, she was unwilling to leave again. Xicheng was a place that broke her heart. Every time she stepped into that land, she felt her whole body tremble.

"mom......"

Shen Feng gestured to stop her from continuing, otherwise she would spit her saliva into the food.

Li Zhicheng quietly walked out and went into his grandmother's room.

Grandma was lying down, her eyes fixed on an old, worn-out television. The picture wasn't very clear, but the old woman was watching with great interest.

"Grandma, you've been lying down for too long. Shall I help you sit up for a while?" Li Zhicheng, out of love for Shen Menghan, wanted to be kind to her family.

Grandma glanced at him, her voice much colder than at noon, and her eyes strange. "No need, thank you."

Li Zhicheng was left feeling awkward and at a loss. He was a seasoned businessman who remained unfazed by cunning opponents, but he felt immense pressure in front of the old man.

"Your surname is Li, what is your father's name?" Grandma began to interrogate him, she always felt she didn't like him.

"My dad,"

"Grandma, dinner's ready! What are you all talking about?" Shen Menghan's voice suddenly rang out. She walked in with a big smile, giving her grandma a sweet smile, her two dimples on her cheeks were very charming.

"We didn't talk much, Xiaohan. You're leaving tomorrow. Are you sleeping with your grandma tonight?" Grandma looked at Li Zhicheng with ill intent.

“Okay, okay, I haven’t slept with my grandma in a long time.” Shen Menghan didn’t mind sleeping with the old lady at all.

Li Zhicheng was about to answer the old man's question when Shen Feng walked in and said to them, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and eat. I'll bring the food in for your grandmother and watch her eat."

"Grandma, are you being naughty again? You won't eat properly. Mom will punish you later." Shen Menghan smiled mischievously. The old lady was just like a child. As long as you listened to her, you could never go wrong by following her heart.

"I didn't! It was your mother who forced me to gain weight," Grandma continued to argue.

Shen Menghan watched them bickering and then laughed as she left.

Li Zhicheng sat on a low stool, his long legs finding it difficult to stretch out.

However, he quickly adapted, thinking that when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

There wasn't much meat or vegetables at home before, but Shen Menghan bought some cured meat and Shen Feng killed a rooster, making the meal much more abundant.

Shen Menghan ate heartily, not afraid of gaining weight, and ate two bowls of rice and a bowl of chicken soup.

Li Zhicheng recalled her words about never getting fat no matter how long she grew, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

Shen Feng had somehow gotten stuck at the threshold. Seeing the two childhood sweethearts eating in perfect harmony, she quietly withdrew.

That night, Shen Feng didn't let Shen Menghan sleep with the old woman, but instead slept with her.

Before going to bed, Grandma put a diaper on her so she wouldn't have to get up at night.

Li Zhicheng was placed alone in a small house in a corner. He was curled up in a small bed and couldn't fall asleep. Even though he had put down the mosquito net, he could still hear the buzzing of mosquitoes.

"Xiaohan, Mom is asking you, is Li Zhicheng your boyfriend?" Shen Feng asked earnestly, turning to the side with an extremely solemn expression.

"Mom, it's really not like that. Don't overthink it. Given our background, why would he even look at me? He's the boss of Linglong Company. He saw that I was coming back alone and felt sorry for me, so he gave me a ride and let me experience life along the way."

Shen Menghan had anticipated being questioned, so she delivered the prepared response.

“You’re all grown up now, it’s normal for you to want to date. Mom doesn’t want you to be deceived. Promise Mom that no matter who you date, you must let Mom know. Mom’s only request of you is that you don’t date anyone with the surname Li.” Shen Feng became very serious.

"Mom, why can't we talk to that guy surnamed Li?" Shen Menghan found her mother's words very confusing.

"Neither your mother nor your grandmother likes people with the surname Li. Are you going to disobey us?" Shen Feng suddenly became very cold.

"Mom, I definitely won't date someone if you and Grandma don't approve. Don't worry, if I really do have a boyfriend, I'll definitely send you his picture first so you can see it!"

As Shen Menghan spoke, she was already praying in her heart, hoping that she and Li Zhicheng could end their relationship as soon as possible so as not to make her grandmother and mother sad.

"Okay, Mom believes you're a good child and won't lie to us. You can be friends with him, but you can't be together."

"Okay, I will always remember what Mom said..."

After Shen Menghan finished speaking, she gave a bitter smile, which sounded particularly desolate in the night.

Little did Li Zhicheng know that this trip not only failed to improve his relationship with the woman he loved, but actually widened the distance between them.

The next morning, they chatted with the old man, and Shen Menghan took him around to meet some neighbors, but they didn't have any in-depth conversations. In the afternoon, they set off to go back.

Before leaving, he quietly went to his grandmother's room and slipped a wad of money under the old woman's bedside. He didn't tell Shen Menghan about it until he left.

Shen Feng discovered this when she was changing the old man's pillowcase. She counted the money and found it was a full 10,000 yuan. She was so frightened that her face turned ashen. She immediately called her daughter to ask what had happened.

Shen Menghan and her group had just driven the crowd away half an hour ago and reached the side of the road where the signal was very good.

"Mom, what's wrong?" She thought something had happened.

"Xiaohan, who is Li Zhicheng? Tell your mother honestly, what is your relationship with him?" Shen Feng was so nervous that her heart was about to burst.
