Chapter 75 only agreed to let her have children, but refused to give her a formal title.
Chapter 75 only agreed to let her have children, but refused to give her a formal title.
"I... I'm not blushing, I'm just hot, that's all," Wen Shuyi stammered as she explained.
The smile on his face became increasingly alluring.
He pressed his large hand against her slender back, tilted his head back, and kissed her.
Wen Shu also thought she would refuse.
When his lips touched hers, she inexplicably wrapped her arms around his neck.
Their movements were so natural, as if they had done this countless times before.
When you realize something is wrong and want to refuse.
It's impossible now.
……
When Tang Fengyu first lived at home, it was very quiet.
She would also help Aunt Wang with some housework.
Although he doesn't talk much with Sheng Tingwang, he chats with Wen Shuyi.
About two weeks later.
The big trouble that Sheng Tingwang had mentioned has arrived.
Several groups of so-called relatives came to our house one after another.
When Wen Shuyi recovered and returned to health.
These relatives have covered the entire living room floor with sunflower seed shells.
Tang Fengyu wasn't idle either; she kept cleaning, but she didn't say anything, urging the relatives to leave quickly.
Wen Shuyi and Sheng Tingwang's relationship wasn't even that of boyfriend and girlfriend.
She didn't know what to say.
Aunt Wang complained bitterly, "They probably ate it all, you know? Ten pounds of noodles, a whole ten pounds, all gone, and it wasn't enough."
Wen Shuyi: ...
"And do you know what? The sea cucumbers they were served were three or four per person. They ate half of the top-quality sea cucumbers that Third Master bought for you. I'm so angry. I couldn't stop them. When Third Master comes back, I don't know how I'm going to explain it."
Aunt Wang vented her anger by grabbing her apron.
Wen Shuyi was also helpless.
Fortunately, Duoduo went on an outdoor adventure with the childcare specialists.
If this happened at home, it would definitely scare the children.
Wen Shuyi returned.
Tang Fengyu immediately greeted them with a smile, "Shuyi, these relatives are all from my maternal family, from Aji's maternal grandparents' side. They are all from the countryside and don't know any of the customs, so please be tolerant of them."
Just as Wen Shuyi was about to say that it had nothing to do with her,
One of the relatives spoke up, "Oh, is this the woman who had a child with our Aji without getting married? You know, things are more open now. It's unbelievable that she had a child and lived with us without getting married, getting a marriage certificate, or having a formal relationship. Could she be after our Aji's money?"
The voice was indeed somewhat sharp and sarcastic.
Hearing this, Wen Shuyi frowned deeply.
She didn't want to lower herself to their level; out of sight, out of mind.
She turned around, preparing to go back to her room.
Tang Fengyu grabbed her arm. "Shuyi, come here. Let me introduce you to my family."
Wen Shuyi refused before she could even finish speaking.
The person was then dragged in front of these relatives.
Everyone looked her up and down, from head to toe.
It's like looking at a product, or... a lamb to the slaughter.
"Her looks are alright..." A plump woman walked up to Wen Shuyi and circled her. "...It's just that her body is too thin. With Aji's physique and energy, can this little body handle it?"
"His aunt, watch your words. This isn't your countryside." Tang Fengyu quickly stopped her, apologizing somewhat embarrassedly to Wen Shuyi, "Country folks sometimes speak rudely, please don't take it to heart."
Wen Shuyi pursed her lips, deciding to endure it a little longer.
"Cousin, I'm telling the truth. Our Ah Ji is such a handsome man, with military merits piled up like mountains. And he's married to such a young girl..." The woman sighed, then laughed again, "...No wonder he's only willing to let her have children but not give her a proper title. He probably doesn't think she's good enough for him."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Tang Fengyu introduced these not-so-likable relatives to Wen Shuyi with great interest.
Wen Shuyi let it go in one ear and out the other.
Perhaps her expression was too cold, making her seem a bit arrogant.
These poor relatives were dissatisfied.
"What's with that expression? We're here at Aji's house, not yours. Look at you, all sullen and disgraceful. Aji's mother, it's a good thing you didn't marry him, otherwise, you'd be in big trouble."
The expression on my relative's face.
They were afraid they wouldn't be able to sow discord between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Another relative, not to be outdone, chimed in, "Fengyu, your son is now of a high status, so you'd better help him choose a wife carefully, and not let any Tom, Dick, or Harry take advantage of the situation."
"That's right. You can't find a man like Aji who is good-looking, rich, and has military merits in the whole of Huacheng. Such a one-in-a-million man, wouldn't all the noble ladies be eager to marry him? You'd better keep an eye on things."
Relatives, one sentence after another.
One sentence for yin, one sentence for yang.
There's only one principle: I can't stand Wen Shuyi either way.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't angry.
She understands that they think their own child is better.
But there's really no need to belittle her.
"I never said I wanted to marry your family's Aji, so please stop fantasizing!"
A bunch of uncultured gossipy women.
Wen Shuyi has really gone too far.
"You little brat, you get upset just because your elders say a few words?" That aunt from before jumped out again, pointing and whispering at Wen Shuyi, "You have no manners! How did your parents raise you?"
"What my parents taught me is none of your business!" She didn't confront them out of politeness to Sheng Tingwang, not because she was easy to bully. This wasn't over yet. "Who are you to me? What right do you have to talk to me like that?"
Wen Shu also refused to serve him anymore.
He turned around, went back to his room, and slammed the door shut.
The floor shook.
Tang Fengyu followed closely behind, knocked on the door, and apologized, "Shuyi, I'm so sorry, please don't take it to heart. They didn't mean anything by it, please don't overthink it. I'm sorry, please don't be angry."
"Cousin." Auntie pulled Tang Fengyu back to the living room. "Why are you apologizing to her? You're Aji's mother, you're the mother-in-law. You have to show your mother-in-law's authority. Look at our daughter-in-law, if I tell her to go east, she doesn't dare to go west. If I tell her to sit on the kang (heated brick bed), she doesn't dare to have diarrhea. You have to maintain your dignity. Why are you trying to please her?"
"I haven't seen Ah Ji for so many years. If I start interfering with his woman as soon as we meet, he'll get angry."
Tang Fengyu is still good at assessing situations.
My own son really likes this woman.
I cherish it dearly.
They're all afraid of flying away.
She dared not say anything.
The relatives didn't care about any of that. In this village, generation after generation, there was always the same set of unchanging methods for disciplining daughters-in-law.
Get off the horse.
If she's scared off, then the mother-in-law will just sit on the kang (heated brick bed) for the rest of her life, waiting for her daughter-in-law to serve her. That's how good life will be.
"Fengyu, it's almost time for dinner. Tell Wen Shuyi to hurry up and make us ten dishes and a soup. Not a single dish can be missing. Hurry up, don't be a wimp."
Tang Fengyu was pushed by her relatives to Wen Shuyi's door.
Just about to knock on the door.
The door opened from the inside.
Wen Shu was also taken aback.
These people were outside her door...
"What do you want?"
"It's just in time that you've come out. It's getting late, so hurry up and make us dinner. Ten dishes and a soup, with meat, fish, and seafood, mainly in the style of our hometown. It can't be too salty, too bland, or too spicy. Do your best, and maybe when Aji comes back later, we'll put in a good word for you, and you'll finally get ahead."
Wen Shuyi was almost laughing in exasperation.
That's incredibly arrogant.
Do you think she's your mother?
We also need ten dishes and a soup.
"I have other things to do, and Aunt Wang has also taken the day off. Please make yourselves at home."
