Accidentally Married to the Big Shot
Chapter 410 Meeting the Future Mother-in-Law

Chapter 410: Chapter 410 Meeting the Future Mother-in-Law

Liang Zhanbai’s house.

Li Sisi’s father-in-law and mother-in-law haven’t been going out much these days.

Because once they go out, people would sarcastically ask them, "Oh, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager have come out?"

"Why aren’t you riding in a sedan chair today?"

"Just saw your daughter-in-law buying breakfast, it certainly can’t be cilantro dumplings, right? Because you don’t eat cilantro."

Mr. and Mrs. Liang were fed up, it felt just like rats crossing the street, everyone shouting at them.

They took their anger out on Li Sisi, "What have you been saying in the neighborhood?"

Li Sisi said aggrievedly, "I haven’t said anything! It’s just that those aunties downstairs really admire our family rules and wanted to take a look, so I printed out a few extra copies for them to refer to."

Those family rules have now spread throughout the neighborhood, even the security office has a copy. The grandpas in the security office say it’s simply astonishing, like returning to the old society.

Every time they see Mr. and Mrs. Liang going out, the security grandpas would teasingly call them the Emperor.

Even the neighbors on the same floor, whenever they see them, have eyes filled with sarcasm.

Especially the old couple next door who are here to take care of their grandchildren, once they see them, say, "Did you save the whole of humanity in your past life? To have such a good daughter-in-law who even accepts family rules."

Mr. and Mrs. Liang felt Li Sisi was doing it on purpose, but they couldn’t do anything about it.

They even thought about moving, but moving requires a house, and with house prices so high, where would they get the money to buy a new one?

Now they had two options in front of them, first, swallow their pride and take over the household chores.

Second, go back to their hometown to avoid the embarrassment.

But they couldn’t swallow their pride, so they decided to return to their hometown.

As they packed up to go home, Mr. Liang felt it was quite pointless.

He thought he had worked hard to raise the child and now was the time to enjoy life, to be served by a daughter-in-law, but who knew they’d be jabbed at by so many behind their backs.

He couldn’t help but ask, "What has happened to this society? Is this society sick?"

Mrs. Liang, however, didn’t think so.

She herself had been a daughter-in-law, back then when the mother-in-law ordered her around, it felt bad, but that’s how people of her generation lived.

Looking at women her age, which one isn’t helping out their sons after retirement?

Especially her sister, who would occasionally call her and say that the current young people are too tired, working so hard for decades, all for a house.

If the elderly don’t come to help, how can the young focus on work? If they can’t focus, how can they pay off the mortgage?

This society is indeed sick, yet it’s also the current reality, everyone has their own difficulties.

Mrs. Liang actually tried to persuade Mr. Liang not to be obsessed with family rules, but Mr. Liang couldn’t let go of his pride and wouldn’t listen.

Now going back to the hometown is better, the old couple living their own lives, isn’t that better?

...

Li Sisi was still gossiping in the hospital, sharing the news about Mr. and Mrs. Liang with Xi Wanfen.

Li Sisi said, "You must not be too kind-hearted, treat others the way they treat you, don’t bottle up grievances, it’s bad for your health!"

Xi Wanfen was astonished, then gave her a thumbs up.

Xi Wanfen thought, if this were a palace intrigue drama, she wouldn’t last an episode.

Someone like Li Sisi could survive until the finale.

Xi Wanfen once again felt that marriage is quite tiring because of all the scheming.

...

At noon, when Xi Wanfen went to the canteen for lunch, she opened her phone and saw Qiu Shuai had sent her another message.

Qiu Shuai: I’ve lost another 10 pounds, want to come and get the fifth figure.

Meaning he had lost a total of 40 pounds.

Xi Wanfen felt her heart skip a beat, she knew that Qiu Shuai’s goal wasn’t really the figure, but waiting for her answer.

Last time at the bar, he had confessed to her.

She only replied to him: Let’s talk after you finish losing weight.

But ever since then, all she could think about was Qiu Shuai.

So, when Xiao Li talked to her about life after marriage, she saw herself completely as an onlooker, not identifying as an ex-girlfriend.

Thinking of Qiu Shuai made the corners of her mouth lift subconsciously.

Every time she chatted with Qiu Shuai or something, she felt very relaxed, as if entirely pampered.

However, all love in this world is sweet, but when it comes to marriage, she had no confidence.

...

It was Qiu Shuai’s birthday that day, he invited Xi Wanfen to his house.

Xi Wanfen naturally agreed.

She didn’t intend to keep Qiu Shuai waiting; the reason she agreed to come was to have more contact with him.

Qiu Shuai’s birthday party was held at his house.

Su Meixi and Gu Wei and others were also invited.

Xi Wanfen didn’t expect someone as young as Qiu Shuai to have such an old-fashioned birthday ceremony, like an elder celebrating a 70th birthday, holding a few tables at home for a meal with family and friends.

When Xi Wanfen entered, it was Mr. and Mrs. Qiu who greeted her.

Mr. Qiu was fat and strong, while Mrs. Qiu was slim, it seemed Qiu Shuai took after his dad.

From the moment she entered, they were very enthusiastic towards Xi Wanfen, urging her to sit, to eat, obviously taking special care of her.

Xi Wanfen could tell that Qiu Shuai must have mentioned to his parents that he liked her, so now Mr. and Mrs. Qiu were treating her as a future daughter-in-law.

She was naturally a bit embarrassed.

But Mr. and Mrs. Qiu were particularly good at hosting, giving Xi Wanfen a feeling of comfort and a warm welcome.

When Mr. and Mrs. Qiu went to entertain other guests, Xi Wanfen quickly went over to find Su Meixi.

Su Meixi’s little baby was already three months old, looking more developed, and increasingly handsome.

Xi Wanfen adored him so much, she didn’t even want to eat, just focused on playing with the baby.

After the meal, the relatives and friends all left, and Xi Wanfen originally intended to leave too, but Qiu Shuai stopped her, saying there were more fun things to come.

The real entertainment for the young people was just beginning, they played together and had some drinks.

Xi Wanfen remembered the principle that a girl must never get drunk when out, so she decided to leave early.

Unexpectedly, when she was leaving, Mrs. Qiu warmly insisted on driving her, saying she had been drinking and couldn’t drive.

Xi Wanfen couldn’t refuse, so she had to trouble Mrs. Qiu to give her a ride.

On the way, Mrs. Qiu asked her, "Why don’t you stay a bit longer?"

Xi Wanfen replied, "They’re all drinking, if I get drunk and go back, my dad will scold me."

"You’re so grown up, and your dad still manages you?"

"Yes, my dad says it’s okay to drink, but one must never get drunk. If you feel you’re almost drunk, you must come home immediately, by all means."

Mrs. Qiu warmly praised her, "Your dad is good at teaching daughters, and you’re quite disciplined, so behind every outstanding child, there’s an outstanding parent."

Xi Wanfen really liked the way Mrs. Qiu spoke, without the control that elders often exert over the younger generation.

Still, she dared not be overly trusting, after all, who knows what’s different before and after marriage?
