A farmer has a shrewish wife; he's busy making money every day.

"Hey, you shameless brat, don't push your luck and start making demands!" Li You immediately became displeased upon hearing this.

Giving you a place to sleep is already a huge favor; you're still dreaming of sleeping in a bed!

Ye Jing and Lin Zhi also secretly tugged at Ye Qingxue's sleeve, signaling her not to offend her in-laws for their sake.

"Xiaoxue, it doesn't matter to us."

Ye Qingxue patted their hands, signaling them not to worry.

"We can make the bed ourselves, so don't bother. I'll go chop wood now."

Ye Qingxue had observed that behind the Lu family's house was the entrance to the mountain forest, making it very convenient for chopping wood and hunting.

Lu Meng immediately objected: "Today is our wedding day! How can you, a newlywed, be running around like this! There's still some firewood in the woodshed; I'll cook it for my in-laws!"

Li You's face clearly showed his disagreement: "Honey! Why are you helping them!"

Lu Meng turned around and glared at Li You.

This unreasonable woman! The most important thing right now is having the child; if she can't even be patient for a moment, how can anything be accomplished!

Who knows how long that foolish son will live? If we don't hurry now, we'll really have nothing left!

"Don't listen to this woman's nonsense. I'll go and make it for you right now. Daughter-in-law, can you go to the bridal chamber now?"

Ye Qingxue raised an eyebrow: "Ah, since Father-in-law insists on doing it, then I will wait here. After all, it's not time for the wedding night yet, and it's too tiring for Father-in-law to do it alone. Maybe I can be of some help."

Upon hearing this, Lu Meng was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Hehe... My daughter-in-law is so filial..."

How could a little girl possibly be of any help? She'd be lucky if she didn't make things worse! She's just there to keep an eye on him!

He endured it all for the sake of continuing the family line! Once Ye Qingxue gave birth to a son, he would have a way to control her!

Ye Qingxue helped her parents sit down, and then sat on a low stool next to them, holding Ye Hao'er in her arms. Watching Lu Meng working hard and sweating profusely, she would occasionally cheer him on: "Come on, Father-in-law, hurry up and finish so I can go to the bridal chamber."

Ye Hao'er, her eyes crinkling with laughter, shook her rattle and chirped, "Add, add cow!"

"Haha!" Ye Qingxue chuckled and pinched Ye Hao'er's little cheek.

Oh dear, my poor little brother, he's so thin.

Inside, Lu Chuci sat on the bed, listening to the sounds outside. Her light eyes were filled with an unusual light, showing no trace of the foolishness she had shown when Lu Meng was there.

He curled his handsome lips into a smile, still fiddling with the wooden doll in his hand, and chuckled softly, "Ye Qingxue... is quite clever."

He couldn't wait to meet his wife, whom he had never met before.

I've heard that women from outside the family don't want to marry him?

This woman is so clever, what kind of plan will she come up with to deal with this fool?

Should we coax him into obeying, or just kill him?

If it's the former, he can still have some fun with her, but if it's the latter, he will let her know what it means to wish she were dead!

Lu Chuci gripped the wooden doll's hand tightly.

With a snap, he broke off the puppet's left hand.

Outside, Lu Meng spread the last thin blanket on the newly made bed and wiped the sweat from his brow.

"Alright! The bed is ready, you can go to the bridal chamber now."

Ye Qingxue walked to the bedside and gently rocked the bed while holding onto the side.

Yes, it's quite sturdy, and there's no water inside.

She handed Ye Hao'er to Lin Zhi, saying, "Father and Mother, take good care of Hao'er. I'm going inside now."

Tears welled up in Lin Zhi's eyes, and her voice was hoarse: "Xiao Xue, you're still so young, are you really willing..."

Ye Qingxue patted Lin Zhi's hand: "I'm fine, Mother, don't worry."

Then she went into the inner room.

Pushing open the door, Ye Qingxue first looked around at the surroundings.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chuci's room was as big as the living room, with a back door and its own kitchen.

It seems that the couple still love their son.

The bedroom had very few things, just a table and chairs and a bed, but it was clean and a place to live.

After observing for a moment, he turned his head and suddenly met Lu Chuci's gaze from the bed.

After seeing Lu Chuci's appearance clearly, Ye Qingxue froze on the spot.

Wow! What a handsome man!
