I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 232: Educated Youths in the Countryside in the 70s 21

It can be seen that Jiang Yuan cares about Fang Yun, but not much. In his heart, his mother is the most important.

After returning to the room, Fang Yun frowned at the food without any meat. She was about to ask why there was no meat, but thinking that today was the first day of her and Jiang Yuan's marriage, she decided not to say too much and make Jiang Yuan unhappy. What if he thought that she was someone who couldn't endure hardship with him? This was absolutely not acceptable.

She quickly convinced herself that many people came today and the meat must have been eaten up, so only these were left, which were already very good.

Thinking of this, Fang Yun's originally bad mood improved a lot.

On the other side of the room, Jiang Yuan had just washed his face and was wiping the water off his face with a towel. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "Oh, I just remembered why I didn't meet your parents today. Didn't you say that your parents would come when we get married?"

Fang Yun paused with his chopsticks in hand, then replied naturally: "They originally said they would come, but later sent me a letter saying they really couldn't take leave, so they can only come back after a while."

Jiang Yuan felt something was strange, but he couldn't figure out what was strange. In the end, he could only nod and said nothing.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan didn't notice anything, Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief. However, she still felt a little uneasy in her heart. She didn't know how long she could hide it from Jiang Yuan.

What if one day Jiang Yuan found out that she had already cut off contact with her parents? Would he be angry? Would he ignore her forever?

What should she do when that time comes? Fang Yun thought about it and realized that Jiang Yuan would know about this one day. She could take advantage of the time when he didn't know to let him know her kindness.

When he is discovered, he will probably not be angry with her.

Thinking of this, she promised in her heart that as Jiang Yuan's wife, she would take good care of him.

After they finished cleaning up, they lay down on the bed. Just as they were about to do something, there was a knock on the door.

But because of the knock on the door, the delicate atmosphere between the two was completely destroyed.

Jiang Yuan froze, Fang Yun grabbed the quilt with one hand and covered his face. Seeing that the knocking on the door did not stop, Jiang Yuan had to get up from the bed and open the door.

Standing outside the door was Zhao Meihua, who didn't feel embarrassed to disturb them while they were doing good deeds. She said nonchalantly, "Son, I have boiled some hot water for you in the kitchen. If you need hot water, just go to the kitchen. There is a basin next to it for you."

Jiang Yuan: "Mom, I understand. It's so late today, you should go to bed quickly."

"Okay, okay, I'll go back right away. You should also go to bed early and don't stay up too late."

Jiang Yuan looked a little unnatural: "I understand."

Jiang Yuan closed the door and returned to bed. The two were about to continue when the door was knocked again.

It’s Zhao Meihua again.

"Mom, do you have anything else to say?"

Zhao Meihua said, "What can I do? I am here to bring you some clothes. This set of clothes has been washed and dried. You will wear this set tomorrow. What about the clothes you are wearing today? Give them to me now and I will wash them for you tomorrow."

As she said that, she walked into the room and glanced at Fang Yun who was covered with a quilt on the bed. She curled her lips, took her clothes and left the room without saying anything.

Because his mother knocked on the door twice, he really didn't dare to do anything this time. The two of them lay on the bed and waited for a while. Seeing that his mother didn't knock on the door again this time, he took action.

Originally he was in high spirits before his mother came to knock on the door, but because of the continuous interruptions, he didn't have much interest anymore, so the two of them only did it once and ended it hastily.

After finishing, Jiang Yuan lay on the bed and fell asleep, but Fang Yun still kept his eyes open in the dark and had not fallen asleep at all.

How could this happen? This was completely different from what she had imagined. How could Jiang Yuan treat her like this? And his mother, she clearly knew that tonight was her son's first night of marriage. Couldn't she say it tomorrow? Why did she have to knock on the door tonight?

If it was a big deal, it would be fine, but the two knocks on the door were both about trivial matters.

If her mother-in-law doesn't like her, can she still live a good life?

Thinking of this, Fang Yun felt a little desperate, but soon she cheered up again. She was not afraid. As long as she tried hard to please her mother-in-law, she believed that she would accept her one day.

Fang Yun thought of many ways to please her mother-in-law. She was so drowsy that she fell asleep without realizing it.

Fang Yun didn't know how long she had slept before she was awakened by a knock on the door. She sat up and looked to the side. Jiang Yuan was sleeping soundly.

She yawned, got out of bed, opened the door, and outside was her mother-in-law, Zhao Meihua.

Before Fang Yun could say anything, Zhao Meihua spoke first: "What time is it that you just got up? The wives at other families have already gotten up to cook. Hurry up and get ready to cook."

After hearing this, Fang Yun, who was a little sleepy, suddenly woke up. She looked outside the door. It was just getting light outside, around five o'clock. Was it necessary to get up so early to cook?

Thinking this way, she said: "Mom, isn't it a little early to cook now?"

"It's getting late. By the time you finish cooking, the father and son will have woken up. Don't dawdle. Get ready and get out quickly."

After saying that, Zhao Meihua went to the kitchen first.

There was no choice but for Fang Yun to get dressed, leave the room and go to the kitchen.

When she lived in the Youth League Home, she could procrastinate, but now she didn't dare to. She was afraid that Jiang Yuan would say she was lazy and get angry with her.

Arriving at the kitchen, Zhao Meihua sat on a small stool without moving. Seeing Fang Yun coming in, she said with a stern face, "Since you've married into my family, you'll be the one cooking from today on."

"Not only do you have to cook, you also have to learn to feed the chickens, clean the house, do the laundry, these are all things you have to do."

Fang Yun was dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to say it, so she could only say: "Mom, these jobs are too much, I can't do it alone, and I don't know how to do it."

Zhao Meihua glared and scolded: "You can't do it, don't you know how to learn? My family didn't marry you in to let you enjoy life. As a daughter-in-law, these are what you are supposed to do."

"You don't do it, and you want to make the two men in the family unable to do it. Let me tell you, this is something we women do. I'm old now, so you will do everything from now on. If you don't do it, I'll let my son kick you out."

Of course, the last sentence was just to scare her. The family spent so much money to marry her, how could they just drive her away? At least, they had to wait until she was no longer useful.

But Fang Yun looked at her expression and knew that she believed it. She was afraid that saying something else would make her mother-in-law angry, so she could only agree for the time being, hoping that Jiang Yuan would say something good to her and ask her not to do so many things.
