A scumbag man trying to climb the social ladder? She turns around and marries a celibate military of

In fact, Chu Junbai initially had doubts, but later, from Mu Xiaowan's various behaviors, he realized that Mu Xiaowan was not the kind of person who would collude with Chu Shaoze.

However, he always harbored resentment towards Mu Xiaowan for clinging to him. He hated others interfering in his life, and only he could decide his future.

How could he not mind that his smooth life was suddenly disrupted by Mu Xiaowan?

As time went on, his opinion of Mu Xiaowan changed.

After the truth of the matter came to light, his dissatisfaction with Mu Xiaowan lessened.

During the training camp, Mu Xiaowan's image kept popping into his mind.

Last night, he lost control of himself because his defenses crumbled.

He even considered taking Mu Xiaowan right there and then.

However, he held back for fear of scaring Mu Xiaowan.

This morning, when he heard Mu Xiaowan getting dressed, he opened his eyes and saw her smooth back, and almost couldn't resist.

How abnormal!

This was the first time he had ever felt such a strong desire for a woman.

She was a woman I used to hate.

He wondered if it was because it was the first time he had been in such close contact with a woman.

In short, this woman aroused his most primal desires.

"Junbai, why are you only eating porridge and not side dishes? Have a steamed bun, isn't meat bun your favorite?" Jiang Yinglan came downstairs and saw her son only drinking porridge with his head down. She glanced at Mu Xiaowan. Had the two of them quarreled?

But then again, it doesn't seem like it. If they had argued, given his temper, my son would probably have gone to the army long ago, not come to the shop to help.

But she always felt that something was going on between the two of them, something was off.

"Xiao Wan, you should eat more too. You'll definitely eat late when you're busy at noon. You young people get hungry easily."

"it is good!"

Many people don't feel like eating when they wake up in the morning, but Mu Xiaowan is different. She can eat whenever she needs to, no matter when she wakes up. She's a real foodie.

Chu Zhihui came downstairs yawning.

"So early, are there any customers in the shop?"

“Since your brother is driving, we can go together. You won’t get much sleep, and you’ll have to squeeze onto the bus. Besides, there’ll be work to do there.” After saying that, Jiang Yinglan remembered something else and asked, “By the way, have you put up the couplets on the door?”

"It's up. It was up yesterday. Grandpa's handwriting is so beautiful and impressive. I'm so proud of myself. Thank you, Mom. I wouldn't have even remembered this if it weren't for you."

Mu Xiaowan hadn't actually thought about this, or rather, she simply didn't know that opening a shop required couplets. It was her mother-in-law who brought it up, and since her grandfather was there too, she offered to write a couplet for him.

"This child, I've already told you we're family, there's no need to be so polite."

Jiang Yinglan had previously thought that Mu Xiaowan was an illiterate country girl who married her son, who held such a high position. How could she possibly be taken out in public in the future?

But after spending these days together, she found that the child was reasonable and intelligent, and should not have any problem handling social situations.

It's a pity she's uneducated. She thought about taking the time to teach Mu Xiaowan some knowledge, but seeing how busy she is now, she doesn't have time to learn. She'll think about it later.

After finishing their meal, they went to pick up Chu Shaoqing.

After Chu Shaoqing got into the car, Chu Zhihui teased, "I didn't expect you to be so motivated after you started working. You would never have gotten up at this time before. You ate breakfast early today and were waiting for us."

"I've told you before that a man needs a catalyst to mature, and my catalyst is now."

"Really? Then I'll give you a chance. I heard that you got my sister-in-law's watch. Can you get me one too? I want an Oriental (Double Lion) watch."

"This watch is more worn by men. You should get a Shanghai Chunlei watch. The strap is a leather strap, which looks especially good on girls. Look, your sister-in-law is wearing one, isn't she?"

Mu Xiaowan glanced at her watch. Was it a Plum Blossom brand?

This watch is no less than a modern Rolex, and the brown leather strap looks especially good on it. She had to admit that Chu Shaoqing had great taste; she really liked it.

Chu Junbai glanced at Mu Xiaowan in the passenger seat and saw her smiling as she looked at her watch. Chu Junbai then looked away.

How come Chu Shaoqing knows all these ways of currying favor? How come he didn't know before?

I must say, that watch is really nice.

He still believed that Mu Xiaowan had used her dowry money to buy it.

I never expected Chu Shaoqing to be so skilled now.

“I am me, and my sister-in-law is my sister-in-law. Everyone has different hobbies.” Chu Zhihui was very opinionated and wouldn’t change her mind just because someone tried to persuade her.

"Alright, alright, but let me make this clear first: the watch I gave to my sister-in-law wasn't a new one, and the one I gave you isn't either. Don't get your hands on it, or you'll come complaining to me later."

Chu Zhihui said, "I know, just follow your sister-in-law's standards and I won't say anything. Of course, I'm your sister, so you can't ask me for money. I don't have any."

“Hey, do you know how hard it is to find a watch like your sister-in-law’s, and I even carefully selected the parts. Besides, your sister-in-law is your sister-in-law, and you are you. What are you going to do with the money you save? Take it all to your husband’s family later? You might as well give it to your brother now. Besides, it’s almost Chinese New Year, and you’re the youngest in the family. You’re still a student, so you’re sure to get a lot of lucky money.”

"As my older brother, shouldn't you be telling me to save money so that I'll be financially secure when I get married, and you won't have to worry about me being bullied by my in-laws, right?"

Mu Xiaowan raised an eyebrow. This girl's thinking was quite modern. Indeed, if you stand tall, you'll have plenty of confidence, whether you're married or not.

"No one from our Chu family would dare to be looked down upon. Who would dare to bully you? I'll kill him for you."

Joking aside, if someone really bullies his own family, Chu Shaoqing won't hesitate to take action.

The two argued all the way to the shop.

Mu Xiaowan went to open the door first, and Chu Shaoqing went to check on the stove, which was the first thing he did every morning.

The aunt next door is a hardworking person. Every morning around six o'clock, she would help them start a fire. He would go and check on them, adding more coal if needed, and also take the kettle back to the shop to refill it.

"Shaoqing, later you can use another teapot to brew some aged tea, and use our custom-made disposable paper cups. Put them next to our stall. Yesterday we prepared a shelf with a sign that says 'Free Hot Tea' and 'Beware of Burns'. Keep an eye on it from time to time, and if it's gone, add some more for us."

"Sister-in-law, is this tea only for today, or will it be available again later?"

“Now that it’s cold, I’ll make it convenient for people on duty to pass by or for anyone who needs it. I’ll keep it here every day from now on. I’ve ordered an insulated container, and it will be even more convenient once it arrives.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Junbai shifted his gaze to Mu Xiaowan.

She was bathed in the morning sunlight, her whole body radiating a soft glow.

"Brother, you've been captivated by your sister-in-law this morning. Hurry up and help me carry these boxes."
