Chapter 370: Chapter 370: She Really Loves Him
Dang Li couldn’t help but look towards Liang Zhanbai.
Liang Zhanbai also felt it was inappropriate for Dang Li to cook alone, so he said to Mrs. Liang, "Mom, why don’t you cook with her? She’s still not familiar with our family, and as her mother-in-law, you should guide her."
Primarily because during their cohabitation period, it had always been Dang Li taking care of Liang Zhanbai. In order to please him, Dang Li came up with different delicious meals every day, and would get up early in the morning to make sandwiches and soybean milk.
The soybean milk wasn’t just made with soybeans; she would mix it well, one day with stomach-nourishing Huai Mountain yam and apple, another day with soybean, Huai Mountain yam, and red dates, making different variants for seven days.
If there wasn’t enough time, she would prepare it in a cup for Liang Zhanbai to take to the hospital to drink.
Otherwise, her relationship with Liang Zhanbai wouldn’t have developed so quickly.
Seeing Liang Zhanbai also signaling her to go, Dang Li couldn’t help feeling a bit angry.
Yet, Liang Zhanbai was indifferent and continued playing with his phone on the sofa.
Isn’t it you who wanted to be a virtuous wife? You can’t just act one way before the marriage and another way after it.
Suppressing her anger, Dang Li thought to herself that since they were only staying a few days in her hometown, even if she cooked, it wouldn’t be for many meals, so she reluctantly got up and joined Mrs. Liang in the kitchen.
After dinner, Liang Zhanbai took her downstairs to set off small fireworks.
Liang Zhanbai’s handsome face, illuminated by the fireworks, appeared even more striking. Dang Li was momentarily mesmerized and felt that her sacrifices were worthwhile.
Except for not doing housework much, Liang Zhanbai was good in other aspects.
Dang Li’s expectations weren’t high; she just wanted to marry him and be by his side every day, which was enough for her.
That night, Dang Li had a lot of fun playing video games with Liang Zhanbai until three or four in the morning before they went to sleep.
...
Early the next morning, Dang Li was woken up by a noise.
It seemed guests had arrived at home; there were voices of women talking and children fussing.
"Grandpa and Grandma, happy new year!"
"Come on, everyone gather round for red envelopes."
Dang Li hadn’t fully woken up yet when Mrs. Liang came knocking on the door.
As soon as Liang Zhanbai opened the door, several children squeezed in, "Uncle, happy new year, give us red envelopes quicky."
Dang Li hurriedly covered herself, she was still in her camisole pajamas.
But Mrs. Liang came in and called for Dang Li, "Xiao Li, Zhanbai’s older sisters have arrived, you’ll have to help prepare lunch together today."
Dang Li felt a burst of anger.
She was still a guest!
But she couldn’t just lash out, so she just responded with a "Hmm".
After Liang Zhanbai dismissed the children and closed the door, Dang Li finally crawled out of bed.
She yawned, tousled her messy hair, then asked Liang Zhanbai, "How come your sisters arrived so early?"
"Yeah, today is the second day of the new year, daughters all return to their parents’ home."
"Why didn’t you tell me last night?"
"Didn’t I say it?" Liang Zhanbai was changing his clothes.
Dang Li always felt that Liang Zhanbai’s attitude was somewhat perfunctory. Sometimes she felt he didn’t truly love her, but rather was with her just to get back at his ex-girlfriend.
Just like with household chores, he didn’t cherish her efforts.
She was just like an old mom, taking over the role of his mother.
But if she didn’t do this, how could she have won him over?
Dang Li felt that she shouldn’t be too concerned about it.
After changing clothes, she then went out to wash up.
Liang Zhanbai’s room didn’t include a bathroom, she had to go to the outside bathroom, and as soon as she came out, everyone in the living room looked her way.
She was startled; so many sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, and children were all looking at her.
Mrs. Liang proudly introduced her to them, "This is Xiao Li, Xiao Li is very diligent. She’s much better than the one who came last time. She cooked all the dishes for New Year’s Eve and the first day of the New Year."
The eldest sister asked, "Is that so? Then I must try it later."
The second sister said, "Zhan Bai is really lucky, always managing to chase pretty girls."
The third sister: "It’s the girls who chase after him."
Dang Li, listening from the bathroom, felt really irritated.
But she truly loved Liang Zhanbai. Liang Zhanbai was so handsome, highly educated, indeed many female doctors and nurses liked him, all waiting to throw themselves at him.
She should feel fortunate that she caught him.
There’s this saying online now: When looking for a husband, must choose a handsome one, since all men are alike—ugly men could cheat, could abuse, could neglect children. Since that’s the case, why not choose a handsome one?
Dang Li felt this was the truth, so she chose a handsome one, seeing his profile every morning made her feel joyful.
Just as she finished freshening up, Mrs. Liang came over again, "Xiao Li, eat something and then come help me cook. They all want to try the spicy chicken you cook."
"Alright, I’ll join in a bit," Dang Li said.
She was eating in the living room, several older sisters were chatting, but aside from the initial greetings, no one paid her any attention.
At that moment, she strongly felt like an outsider.
Liang Zhanbai, however, sat down and chatted with his sisters, teasing his little nephews and such.
Dang Li felt very wronged at this moment.
She hadn’t been home for New Year’s in two years. This year, finally on leave, she followed Liang Zhanbai home, only to end up as the cooking maid in his family’s home.
"Xiao Li, come on in, your sisters and brothers-in-law are busy, they will go visit other relatives after lunch."
Dang Li quickly responded and didn’t pay any more mind to Liang Zhanbai but went in to cook.
After the food was ready, the sisters helped to serve dishes, set up the table, and dish out rice.
Then during the meal, they kept praising Dang Li, putting down Xi Wanfen, saying that the current bride was the real deal, and asked about their marriage plans, when they would buy a house in Yun City and so on.
At this time, Mr. Liang said, "Xiao Li, see when it’s convenient, you could invite your parents over to Yun City, we can visit them too, have both parents meet and discuss your marriage, or we can go to your place. After all, marriage is a big affair, both parents need to discuss, not like some who disdain us common folk and are unwilling even to meet once."
Dang Li felt relieved now.
Everyone was complimenting her, saying she was better than Xi Wanfen, and she felt all she did was worth it.
She couldn’t help but say, "I informed my parents before I came back, they will go along with me. I have an older brother, and right now my parents are helping him take care of his child, they probably can’t make it."
Mr. Liang said: "Then let’s go to your hometown to meet them, see if it’s convenient for them. If it is, we should book tickets now since tickets during the New Year are hard to get."
"Sure, I’ll talk to them first."
Dang Li hurriedly ate a few bites of rice, then went to the balcony to make a phone call.
Her parents didn’t pay much attention, they said it was fine to come now or after the New Year to Yun City, but insisted that the dowry couldn’t be less, at least 200,000 yuan.
