Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Lin Jingshen pinched his mouth, thinking: Blame him, as long as his uncle feels better.

Everyone in the family got up except for the two new brides. Gu Jinfeng and her mother, Zhong Meixian, sat in the kitchen, one tending the fire under the stove and the other busy at the stove.

While busy with chores, Gu Jinfeng couldn't help but grumble, "Everyone says that once a daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, she can finally enjoy life. How come it's still just you and me cooking?"

Zhong Meixian thought to herself, "We just got married, it's normal to get up a little later."

"From now on, let the two of them do the work, and my daughter and I can sit together and chat."

"You know what, it was a twist of fate, a lucky accident, that finally resolved your brother's matter and lifted a huge weight off my shoulders."

“However,” Zhong Meixian paused, then pouted, “to be honest, I’m not satisfied with this girl.”

“If your brother hadn’t insisted on saying it, and if others hadn’t seen it, it would have been bad for her reputation, I wouldn’t have agreed.”

"He's not a decent person."

Gu Jinfeng nodded. What respectable girl would sneak into a man's bed?

However, she advised, "Now that you're married into the family, as long as you live a good life, are hardworking, and give you two or three grandchildren, that's enough."

Speaking of grandsons, Zhong Meixian grinned, "You know what, if she really had three grandsons, I would have given her sweet soup and eggs every day during her postpartum period."

“Your Gu family has only had one son for three generations. In your brother’s generation, three sisters were born before your brother was born. Your younger sister was also a girl. The Gu family has very few male descendants.”

As they were talking, Gu Shuhe, the younger sister of the Gu family, rubbed her eyes and came into the kitchen. "Mom, eldest sister, is dinner ready?"

"I'm starving. I didn't eat enough yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Meixian scolded her, "You can't even get enough to eat at your own family's banquet, who can you blame?"

"Did I tie your arm or your leg?"

Gu Shuhe “…”

She was too embarrassed to say it was because too many of her brother's comrades had come.

Gu Shuhe is eighteen years old this year, just the age when she is just beginning to experience romantic feelings. Facing those seasoned soldiers who keep calling her "little sister," her face turns as red as a ripe persimmon, and she just stays quietly in the house, not daring to go out.

Gu Shuhe had barely stepped into the kitchen when Lin Jiaojiao, with two braids, bounced over. Upon entering the kitchen, she asked inquisitively, "Mom, Grandma, are you two cooking? Where are my sister-in-law and aunt?"

"Is my sister-in-law still not awake?"

Gu Jinfeng then asked her, "When you came over, did you see her get up?"

Lin Jiaojiao immediately shook her head.

Gu Jinfeng also pouted, "She used to be quite diligent at home, but now that she's in our house, she's become lazy."

"If people knew that we married a lazy wife, they would laugh themselves to death."

Lin Jiaojiao was sixteen years old and hadn't yet developed feelings for love. She wasn't very shy and was quite talkative. So, as soon as she heard her mother's words, she immediately chimed in, chattering away, "Well, my fourth brother's wife was very hardworking before. Fourth Aunt said she was good at everything, both inside and outside the house."

"And there's also my sixth uncle's wife, whom he married the year before last. She's incredibly hardworking!"

"On the second day after the wedding, she cleaned the house spotless."

Lin Jiaojiao's words only made Gu Jinfeng angrier.

Gu Jinfeng was angry, so she scolded her, "Go get the bowls and get ready to eat. Don't sit there like you're a guest."

Lin Jiaojiao shut up.

Lin Jiaojiao had already started working, so Gu Shuhe helped her get the bowls and chopsticks.

Gu Jinfeng and Zhong Meixian exchanged a glance, both understanding from each other's eyes that they had been dealt a lazy daughter-in-law.

How can this be? The food is already on the table, and the person hasn't even gotten up yet!

Gu Jinfeng then told Lin Jingshen to go and call her, "Go and wake her up, the whole family is waiting!"

Lin Jingshen actually got up.

Gu Yanli took a clean bowl, put a steamed bun in it, and then added some vegetables.

Zhong Meixian was furious at his actions. "You're still planning to serve her food and drink?"

Gu Yanli was not one to be trifled with. With a dark expression, he said, "No one's even up yet, who am I supposed to serve food and drink to?"

Gu Yanli was thinking to himself, "I'd like to serve you, but I'd need the opportunity!"

Zhong Meixian pointed to what he was holding.

Gu Yanli turned around and got off the table. "Sit in the pot. She can eat when she gets up. We can't eat your leftovers."

Zhong Meixian "..."

Lin Jingshen had already taken a step forward, but he quickly ran back. He was a bit dazed, but he wasn't stupid.

His uncle invited him to stay for dinner, and he did too.

Otherwise, he would feel guilty towards his wife.

Seeing Lin Jingshen also start picking up a bowl, Gu Jinfeng's eyes widened. "What are you doing?"

"Oh, leave some food for Xiaoyue too."

Gu Jinfeng "..."

She exchanged a glance with her mother, her eyes conveying: Not only did he marry a lazy wife, but his son also forgot his mother after marrying her.

Zhong Meixian only managed to waile once, "What a terrible thing!"

Gu Yanli went out after eating. His bed was broken and he needed to get a new, sturdier one made, so he had to go and look for one.

Gu Shuhe finished eating and left. She works at the town's supply and marketing cooperative and had taken leave to come back yesterday.

Lin Jiaojiao, carrying her schoolbag, also left. She was still in junior high school and had taken leave to come back and help. Although she couldn't be of much help, she couldn't miss her brother's wedding.

Lin Jingshen went back to his room to grade students' homework, looking at his wife as he did so.

This prevented Gu Jinfeng from coming in to call someone to get up. After going around a few times, she sighed and went with the man to earn work points.

Even though Gu Yanli had gone out, Zhong Meixian didn't dare to call him from the Gu family's side.

Gu Yanli was not easy to talk to. Zhong Meixian used to call him a stubborn mule, a stern-faced man.

If he thinks it's right, there's no point in you saying anything more.

If you push him too far, he might really get angry with you.

Zhong Meixian only dared to circle around in front of her son's house, going around and around again.

Seeing that the sun was high in the sky and the person inside still showed no sign of getting up, Zhong Meixian stamped her foot again, "What a disaster, what a disaster!"

When Wen Tang got up, it was already past ten o'clock, and Gu Yanli had already returned from going out.

Zhong Meixian was complaining to Gu Yanli, "See what I told you?"

“I told you we couldn’t marry her, we couldn’t marry her. She doesn’t look like a decent girl at all, but you wouldn’t listen,” Zhong Meixian shrugged. “Look at yourself, what kind of daughter-in-law can stay up this late?”

"Are you in such a hurry for her to earn work points to support the family?" Gu Yanli asked, wiping his hands.

Zhong Meixian "..."

"Even if you don't earn work points, you still have to tidy up the house."

"Where haven't you done your work?"

Zhong Meixian "..."

She angrily pointed at Gu Yanli with her hand, "...You really don't let me finish my sentence!"

As the two were talking, Wen Tang came out rubbing her eyes.

Gu Yanli put down the towel and walked towards her. "Get up. The food is in the pot. I'll go heat it up for you."

Zhong Meixian "..."

Sin!

Wen Tang lowered her hand and caught a resentful look from her mother-in-law, but she didn't care. Instead, she smiled and said, "Thank you, brother!"

Zhong Meixian is shameless.

She wasn't speaking softly, and Wen Tang didn't react yet, but Gu Yanli glanced at her first.

The old lady pursed her lips and fell silent.

Wen Tang didn't argue with the old lady, but instead peeked over the courtyard wall to see if her best friend had gotten up yet.

She originally wanted to shout through the wall, but she was afraid that Lin Jingshen was also inside.

The fact is, Lin Jingshen was indeed inside the house.

Chi Yue has also woken up and is talking to Lin Jingshen.
