After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

Then he cut Zhao Guifen's pork belly into squares and simply stir-fried it with sugar to make braised pork. The sugar was evenly colored and looked shiny, not to mention the aroma.

There was plenty of food at home, and Jiang Zhiyun didn't skimp on it for Zhao Guifen; they used up everything they needed.

In addition to the stir-fried seasonal vegetables, there were also quite a few dishes that Zhao Guifen had prepared earlier. When Zhao Guifen came in, she was originally going to exchange a few pleasantries.

Seeing these huge platters of meat makes my heart bleed.

He gripped the table with his hand, still unwilling to give up, and asked, "The meat and vegetables I bought... you just cooked most of them like this."

"Yunniang, you should be more frugal when you cook in the future."

Jiang Zhiyun nodded, looking like she had been taught a lesson: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely be careful at the Xie family. But today is a joyous occasion, and I know you have bought so many dishes to entertain us. We've used them all up, but don't worry, everything that needs to be cooked has been cooked."

"Does it smell good, Mother?"

Zhao Guifen felt a little short of breath; the dishes were, of course, delicious, which was her only consolation…

But this was only enough for a month's worth of food.

Who would be willing to eat that meat every meal? Yunniang used it all up in one sitting.

If she hadn't just called her "Mom" so affectionately, she would have thought it was definitely her daughter causing trouble!

After thinking about it, she didn't have the guts. Zhao Guifen thought that luckily there were still pig trotters that Jiang Zhiyun hadn't finished cooking.

We can make do then, at least we'll have some meat to eat at home.

Yesterday I went out and bought so much meat and vegetables, just to show the neighbors how well she treats her daughter and son-in-law who are returning to their parents' home!

The wedding was criticized, so now they're definitely going to prove them wrong.

That's enough about saving face; who actually uses all of it for cooking?

Just as Jiang Zhiyun was about to go to the kitchen to check on her braised pig's trotters and put them away, she suddenly stood up: "Oh dear, I forgot, there are still pig's trotters stewing in the kitchen."

"I'll go get it now."

Zhao Guifen seemed to have all her strength drained away, but she still asked persistently, "Then... you cooked it too?"

"Yes, Mother, don't worry, it's all cooked. I've cooked it all for you, so you don't have to worry about not being able to finish it in the future. There are many people here today, so we'll all help you with the cooking."

"..." Zhao Guifen gave a forced smile. Now that the family's savings were gone, they were left with nothing. They had also bought meat and vegetables to store for a long time, but now they had nothing left either.

Why did you commit such a terrible sin?!

Was Yunniang born to deliberately bring misfortune upon herself?

The more I read, the more I dislike Yunniang. She was forced to give birth to her second child in order to have a son, but the second child wasn't a son, and she almost died from severe bleeding.

Therefore, in Zhao Guifen's eyes, this daughter was a jinx. She disliked Yunniang from the moment she saw her, finding fault with everything about her. In fact, some mothers simply don't love their children, and Zhao Guifen always wished Yunniang were dead!

Not auspicious at all!

As long as Yunniang stays far away from him, he feels more relaxed and energetic.

He glared at Yunniang, hoping he would never see her again.

When Jiang Zhiyun got up to serve the pig's trotter soup, Xie Shuheng went with her. The couple seemed inseparable.

The more this happened, the more jealous Jiang Zhiwan became. Zhao Guifen, looking at this tall and handsome son-in-law, once thought that her mother-in-law must have been out of her mind to refuse the marriage exchange.

The aroma of this braised pork trotters is irresistible; the meaty fragrance blends perfectly with the sauce, making your mouth water.

Jiang Laosan was busy eating braised pork, but when he saw the pig's feet soup being served, he immediately picked up a large piece and put it in his bowl. As soon as he took a bite, the bone of the pig's feet naturally fell off, and it was cooked very soft and flavorful.

Jiang Zhiyun stewed the meat until it was tender and flavorful.

The sweetness had just ended, and whether it tastes good or not is entirely within my expectations.

Zhao Guifen also took a bite and had to admit that it tasted really good. It wasn't greasy at all, and was even quite fragrant. It contained white beans that she had bought herself, so it would be delicious with mixed grain rice or corn rice.

She served Xie Shuheng a bowl of soup: "Like cures like, this pig's trotter soup is delicious. I hope your leg gets better soon too."

Jiang Zhiyun noticed that his face was growing paler and paler. Accompanying him today was indeed a difficult situation for him. His body was already pushing itself to the limit.

"Okay." Xie Shuheng nodded slightly, eating in his usual methodical manner, with no unseemly manners and no other emotions visible.

However, he also avoided a lot of trouble; at least today, his return visit to his parents' home was not filled with too many unpleasant things.

She remembered that even if she came back with Xu Ping'an in her previous life, Xu Ping'an was a good-for-nothing. He was locked in the woodshed by her elder sister and mother and not allowed to eat.

Also, because her elder sister returned without a husband, she was forbidden from leaving with Xu Ping'an, lest others laugh at her...

Looking back now, those disgusting things from my past life are still vivid in my mind. I don't even know how many times I cried back then because of my weakness.

Later, Jiang Zhiyun stopped crying and lost all affection for her family...

She really didn't want to be here right now. She had already eaten most of the dishes she had prepared in silence and kept putting food on Xie Shuheng's plate.

With nothing to do at home right now, and seeing that her parents just wanted to get away, she thought of Xie Shuheng when she was thinking of finding a way to escape as soon as possible.

She wanted to take him along, but she didn't know what reason to give that would be appropriate and wouldn't reveal her displeasure.

I wonder what he will think if he finds out about this family scandal.

Thinking of this, Xie Shuheng took her hand and said, "Yunniang."

"We've already eaten, and I'm not feeling well, so how about we head back?"

"Not feeling well..." Old Jiang looked at him with a strange expression. "So young, and already feeling unwell?"

Jiang Zhiwan chuckled. Xie Shuheng was already frail and sickly, and she hadn't even seen him get married in her previous life.

It's already suspicious that he's following Jiang Zhiyun now.

She must be having health problems right now. She stood up with her arms crossed, looking very sympathetic, and said, "Since brother-in-law is not feeling well, why don't you take Yunniang back?"

"I really hope you two are doing well, that you two have a harmonious marriage and have a baby soon! Don't fight over the baby every day, or we won't help you when you come to your parents' house. You'll have to fend for yourself."

Towards the end, he spoke with a hint of gritted teeth and mockery.

Jiang Zhiyun: ?

That's incredibly insulting! How could Jiang Zhiwan speak to Xie Shuheng like that? It seems she didn't have enough of a death in her past life!

Xie Shuheng bowed and then said, "I'm curious, why is my wife's sister so concerned about my affairs with her?"

"I accept your blessings, but I cannot agree with what my sister-in-law and mother did today."

“If my wife has been treated so poorly by you at home before, then I think there is no need for her to return to her parents’ home in the future.”

Xie Shuheng is not a talkative person, but he was holding Jiang Zhiyun's hand as he spoke, which was very warm.

Jiang Zhiyun herself was somewhat surprised, and could clearly sense that Xie Shuheng was angry.

But he... wasn't angry because he was incompetent, but because he felt indignant for her?

Jiang Zhiyun felt somewhat lost, and her heart rate was also a bit unbalanced. She had a feeling that things shouldn't be like this.
