He underestimated this country girl.

She is intelligent, decisive, and quick-witted.

Today, he was wondering how Mu Xiaowan would explain things about her family, and how she would deal with them.

Unexpectedly, she actually brought in He Yongsheng.

It's estimated that He Yongsheng and his family members didn't expect Mu Xiaowan to do this.

"I haven't decided yet. I don't have any special skills or education. But I often take some of the things I grow at home to town to sell. That's my experience."

Chu Junbai looked at Mu Xiaowan with a mixture of belief and doubt.

Mu Xiaowan wasn't afraid of him looking at her.

What she said was true.

"Okay, let me know if you've thought it through. There's no need for a written loan agreement. I'll add these details to the contract as compensation for the past three years."

After reaching an agreement, the two readily signed the document.

"It's a pleasure to do business with you!" Mu Xiaowan extended her hand.

Chu Junbai looked at those slender, long hands, paused for a moment, and then reached out to grasp them.

Her hands were small, and he dared not use force because he was very strong and was afraid that he would break Mu Xiaowan's hands if he used too much force.

Mu Xiaowan went to wash up, and when she came back, she saw Chu Junbai sitting at his desk writing something without even looking up.

It truly is a marriage without love; even on their wedding night, they couldn't forget about work.

Mu Xiaowan sat on the edge of the bed and applied lotion.

Seeing that Chu Junbai didn't move, she decided not to wait any longer. She could sleep however she wanted, as long as he didn't wake her up. She was just too sleepy to stay awake.

Mu Xiaowan pulled up a blanket and lay down.

For some inexplicable reason, she was very sleepy but couldn't fall asleep for a while.

They kept their ears alert at all times, listening intently to Chu Junbai's every move.

A little while later, she heard Chu Junbai take a basin and go out to wash up.

A little while later, I heard him come back and lock the door.

Then came the sound of a cabinet being opened.

Chu Junbai is changing his clothes.

Mu Xiaowan's heart inexplicably jumped up and down, pounding wildly.

She waited and waited, until finally everything went black and she fell asleep.

……

"Boom boom boom!"

A knock on the door startled Mu Xiaowan awake.

She was still half asleep when she remembered that she had traveled through time and gotten married; today was her first day of marriage.

On their wedding night, she fell asleep.

I slept very well and comfortably.

"I'm coming!"

Where did Chu Junbai go so early in the morning?

Mu Xiaowan rubbed her messy hair, half-opened her eyes, and walked towards the door in a daze.

Chu Junbai sat at his desk, his gaze falling on those fair, white feet.

Mu Xiaowan was still sleepy.

Chu Junbai thought to himself, "It seems all girls are the same. My little sister is like this; she's slept for so long and still not enough. She even walks with her eyes closed."

I wonder if it will run into the wall?

Mu Xiaowan opened the door and saw Chu Shaoqing. She yawned.

"Chu Shaoqing, why are you knocking on the door so early?"

"Where's my second brother?"

“Your second brother isn’t here. You got up so early and didn’t see him. He probably went out a long time ago.”

"Don't bother me unless it's something, let me sleep a little longer."

At this moment, Mu Xiaowan didn't want to think about anything. She just wanted to get a good night's sleep. Yesterday had exhausted her, and she'd been dragged out of bed so early.

Chu Shaoqing looked at the closed door and knocked on it again.

“Sister-in-law, I called my second brother to tell you that your aunt wants you to come over. You need to serve tea to your grandparents, and they need to have breakfast after they finish drinking the tea.”

Mu Xiaowan responded and fell straight off the bed.

She turned over, her mind replaying Chu Shaoqing's words, and couldn't fall asleep again.

Frustrated, she turned over again. There she saw Chu Junbai sitting at his desk, watching her with an air of nonchalance. Startled, she jolted awake and sat bolt upright in bed.

"You didn't go out?"

"You didn't go out, and someone knocked on the door. Why didn't you open it?"

Mu Xiaowan was a bit grumpy when she woke up, and her voice carried a hint of displeasure.

In modern times, if any of her underlings disturbed her sleep, they would definitely get a good scolding from her.

She really didn't have the guts today.

However, even if she didn't curse aloud, she had to curse in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't be able to vent her anger.

Chu Junbai was taken aback by her shout. He thought for a while but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation. He couldn't very well say that he hadn't slept much all night and had just taken a nap.

He then said, "Since you're up, hurry up and wash up. I'll give you five minutes."

Otherwise, Grandpa and Grandma don't like waiting.

"Then why didn't you call me sooner?"

Mu Xiaowan frowned, quickly got out of bed, grabbed a washbasin and toiletries, and rushed out.

Chu Junbai: "..."

Why didn't he wake me up earlier? I wonder who's such a restless sleeper.

He had intended to take a nap by the bedside, but in the end, the noise kept him awake, so he had to get up and work.

She's been working for hours and only just got up; she still has the nerve to complain.

If it were his group of lads, they'd be skinned alive.

Mu Xiaowan doesn't wear makeup, so she's very fast.

She finished tidying up within the five minutes Chu Junbai had given her.

The clothes Mu Xiaowan is wearing today are the ones she and Chu Zhihui bought together that day.

After she finished tidying up, Chu Junbai also put the pen cap back on and stood up.

He grabbed his coat and went out first.

Mu Xiaowan quickly followed.

The old lady and the old man were already sitting in the living room waiting.

Other members of the Chu family were also waiting.

Mu Xiaowan quickly followed Chu Junbai and greeted the two elders.

Next were my second uncle's and my aunt's families.

Everyone was seated.

Seeing that the two were late, the old lady looked very impatient and immediately put on a stern face.

She didn't respond; instead, she immediately started blaming.

"This young man loves to sleep in. What time is it? It's almost lunchtime."

Grandma Chu always favored her eldest grandson, Chu Shaoze.

Therefore, apart from Chu Shaoze, he was stricter with everyone else.

Old Master Chu was different; he liked Chu Junbai, and only this grandson resembled him.

He has inherited his military spirit, so he cherishes him especially.

"Isn't this a newlywed couple? You're being too harsh on the children."

“Back then, when we were newlyweds, we would get up at three or four in the morning to make breakfast for my mother-in-law and serve her tea and water.”

"What era are you living in? Why are you still bringing that up!"

"That's a fact regardless of the era, and respecting elders is something that transcends time."

Chu Zhihui brought tea to Chu Junbai.

Chu Junbai gestured to Mu Xiaowan to serve tea to the elders.

Mu Xiaowan remembered seeing on TV that people were paid to serve tea. She thought, "Even if someone deliberately makes things difficult, what does it matter?"

She quickly picked up the teacups with both hands and offered them to the old man and the old woman.

After Mu Xiaowan finished serving the tea, she stood there waiting for them to pay, but she waited and waited and did not see anyone intending to pay.

Does this mean that giving money is no longer a common practice?

"Give it to Mom and Dad!"

Is that all?

Mu Xiaowan glanced at Chu Junbai and then brought two more teacups to the two of them.

I already changed how I address them yesterday, so it feels much more natural to call them that now.

Yesterday, her in-laws gave her 88 yuan as a "change of address" fee.

If the old lady didn't give it to them today, they probably won't either.

Sure enough, after offering tea to everyone, they didn't receive a single penny.

It wasn't until later that Mu Xiaowan realized that she was the only one who didn't have it.

Mu Xiaowan's hopes were dashed.

After serving the tea, she stood to the side. Even if she had known it would turn out this way, she still had to serve the tea, since she was just a fake daughter-in-law anyway. Thinking about it that way, she felt relieved.

Just then, Bai Jiao'e came downstairs, swaying her hips.

She glanced thoughtfully at Mu Xiaowan, then shifted her gaze to Chu Junbai, her expression somewhat mocking.

"Mom, I went upstairs to check, there's nothing there! It's very clean!"

Mu Xiaowan frowned. What kind of trouble is this so early in the morning?

"Mu Xiaowan, did you lose your virginity before you got married?"
