Reborn into a Farming Family: My 18 Virtuous Wife is a Hero

"Su Mu, what time is it? Why aren't you preparing dinner? Who do you want to starve to death?!" Xu's mother shouted at Su Mu, who was kneeling on the ground wiping the dishes, her eyebrows raised and her face full of displeasure.

Su Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly got up, running to the kitchen while muttering something to himself.

"Mom, wait a minute, I'll be right there, right away..."

Today, the servant who cooks at home took leave to go home and take care of his wife who just gave birth. So the cooking job naturally fell to Su Mu, the only daughter-in-law in the family.

Su Mu strode into the kitchen, quickly picked, sorted, and washed the vegetables, then categorized them and put them into the pot to stir-fry. In no time, a table full of delicious and colorful dishes was ready and placed on the table.

While taking off her apron, she smiled and invited her mother-in-law to sit down, then went upstairs to call her father-in-law down.

Xu's mother was somewhat surprised; her daughter-in-law seemed to be in a very good mood today.

After the family was all seated, Lin Rumei, the mother-in-law, complained, "Su Mu, Yafei hasn't come back yet. Why aren't you calling him? What are you doing sitting here? Do you want my son to eat cold food?!"

Father-in-law Xu Chengxiong also frowned and said, "Su Mu, Ya Fei was busy working outside and forgot the time. Did you forget too? Hurry up and call Ya Fei to come back."

Su Mu had barely touched the chair before he was scolded and hadn't even sat down yet when he hurriedly stood up, "Yes, yes, yes... Mom and Dad, I'll go right away."

She nervously picked up the landline and was about to press the button when she heard a crisp "click" from the door, which then slowly opened.

Before Su Mu married Xu Yafei, her favorite things to watch were idol dramas and romance novels. Usually, when a door opened, the prince or princess would come in backlit, with golden sunlight shining behind them. The handsome prince or princess looked like a newborn angel, with a smile on their face as if blessing all living beings. Finally, they would take their other half's hand and, in this beautiful scene, pledge their lives to each other and share a deep kiss...

Su Mu had fantasized about this scene many times before marrying Xu Yafei, but it never happened before or after she married this man. It would be a lie to say she wasn't regretful. She never imagined that this scene she so envious of would one day become the beginning or end of her nightmare.

Su Mu stood there, stunned, watching the man and woman approaching from behind the light. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. Between them was a cute little boy, about six or seven years old. The little boy was being led by the two of them as they walked slowly towards them, looking completely bewildered and very adorable.

"This family of three is really beautiful." Almost everyone thought of this at that moment, and Su Mu was no exception. But if that man wasn't her husband, Xu Yafei, she thought she might be even more in the mood to appreciate him.

"Yafei..." she murmured involuntarily. Su Mu's heart panicked at that moment. She didn't know why, but her heart was inexplicably in turmoil without any warning.

Xu Yafei glanced at her casually. That glance was indifferent, calm, resolute, and even a little apologetic, which made Su Mu feel a strange fear.

"Mom and Dad, I have something to say..."

Mr. and Mrs. Xu were also surprised for a moment. When their son called them, they came to their senses. Mr. Xu asked with a puzzled look, "Yafei, what's this...?"

"Mom and Dad, this is the woman I love, An Ziqing. This is my child with Ziqing, your grandson, Xu Baiqing. I brought them back today to give Ziqing and Baiqing a proper status."

After saying that, he looked at Su Mu and said in a deep voice with a hint of apology, "Su Mu, I'm sorry!"

"Let's...get a divorce!"
