Chapter 114: Riding on Jiang Cheng's Shoulders

Jiang Cheng complied with everything.

However, after applying the high-quality medicine, he truly could not help himself and held Si Rong to kiss her for quite a while longer.

"By the way, starting from today, Nainai is coming to live at our house."

Jiang Cheng spoke to her about this matter.

Si Rong sobered up from the sweetness; this news was not very good.

It was very obvious that the old lady did not like her, and it was because she was infertile.

This was an unsolvable matter.

Even if she were to be as submissive and ingratiating as possible, it would be of no use.

The former Shen Mu and Shen Yun were the best examples.

A person cannot lower their own stance too much, otherwise, it will only lead others to look down on them.

"Mom's meaning is for the two of us to go live in that three-bedroom apartment allocated to me by the military unit."

Si Rong looked straight into Jiang Cheng's eyes, "Then what is your meaning?"

In the past, Shen Lan always coaxed her into being submissive to Shen Mu, no matter how unreasonable the demands his mother made were.

She wanted to see Jiang Cheng's attitude.

"My meaning is, Mrs. Jiang, our wedding cannot be delayed any longer; do you like the idea of a travel wedding?"

The trend of travel weddings had only just blown into Huaiyang in the last two years.

Because of its unique and novel approach, it had gained the favor of many young couples.

Si Rong's eyes brightened, and she immediately nodded, "I like it!"

Before, Ming Zi had even suggested that the two of them go on a travel wedding together.

However, she had considered that to be a simple trip between best friends.

It was naturally different from a travel wedding.

"Then we shall go." Jiang Cheng liked seeing her look so happy; his cold, handsome profile softened a little, and his slightly cool index finger lightly hooked her petite nose bridge.

"When are we leaving?"

Si Rong was already feeling somewhat impatient.

The key was that she could avoid the awkwardness of having to fix the bed.

"Tomorrow morning! I will go to the military unit once to request my annual leave in advance; you just stay at home and think carefully about where we should go."

"Okay."

Si Rong quickly decided in her heart where they would go for their trip.

Jing Shi.

Not only could she tour all the beautiful scenery of the capital, but she could also take the opportunity to see if there were any courtyard houses worth purchasing.

If property prices were to soar in the future, then the prices of courtyard houses in Jing Shi would definitely skyrocket.

She had not yet touched the two hundred thousand plus in savings that Jiang Cheng had given her previously.

The ointment prescribed by the military doctor was very effective; after a short while, Si Rong already felt much better, and she got out of bed to start packing the things she needed to take tomorrow.

In the wardrobe, her clothes and Jiang Cheng's clothes hung on separate sides.

Each of them packed one set of clothes to change into.

If they encountered anything they liked, they could buy it then; for skincare products, she only brought pearl cream.

She brought a camera so they could take some commemorative photos along the way.

However, there was one thing she was still worried about regarding going out on a trip.

That was the telephone.

If her future self called, but there was no one to answer, what should she do?

After thinking it over, Si Rong thought of Jiang Zhi.

If she made too much of a fuss, it would inevitably attract attention.

Therefore, she planned to put the telephone in Jiang Zhi's room and let her keep it.

The old lady Jiang arrived in the afternoon.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she began to find fault, "Where is Jiang Cheng's wife? Knowing I was coming, she didn't even say she would come to pick me up; is this because she looks down on an old woman like me?"

Wu Shen came over to explain, "Old lady, Madam, A-Cheng took his wife back to her maiden home."

Hu Qian nodded, "Understood."

She glanced sideways at the old lady, "Isn't it normal to look down on you? I also look down on you, yet aren't you still coming to live in my house?"

Old lady Jiang:...

She glared at her fiercely.

However, now that she had to rely on her daughter-in-law to wait on her, it was not easy for her to say anything.

"Back to her maiden home? It's because she heard I was coming, right?"

Although the old lady's legs and feet were not nimble, her tongue did not stop for a single moment.

"Hmph! I knew it, that woman is ill-intentioned; last time she called the police and had that Cuilan thrown into prison, and I heard that the child has been crying at home for several days because there is no one to look after him!"

"Heh, with such a shameless mother, there will be plenty of times for him to cry in the future!" Hu Qian did not indulge her in the slightest when she spoke, "You are so kind-hearted, yet I haven't seen you help look after the child for her?"

"Why don't you just go be Cuilan's mother-in-law in the future."

Old lady Jiang:...

She was almost furious to death.

She glared at her son who was pretending to read the newspaper, "Just let your wife be the death of me! It would have been better to give birth to a piece of meat than to you! At least meat can be eaten!"

"How could my wife be the death of you?" Jiang Aiguo laughed, "She has the nanny cook for you and has her make your bed; how filial that is!"

His wife could at least rank in the top three on the village's list of filial piety.

Seeing that she couldn't win an argument against this couple, the old lady simply sat on the sofa, waiting for Jiang Cheng and his wife to return.

This wait lasted until evening.

Seeing that hen who couldn't lay eggs dressed up so gaudily, Old Lady Jiang felt everything about her was irritating.

"Coming home so late; if you were in our village, a wife like you who doesn't cook and can't bear children would get beaten three times a day!"

The old lady said, leaning on her cane.

"In our military unit, someone like you who sows discord would have been dragged off and beaten with military staves long ago."

Jiang Cheng retorted immediately, then blocked the way in front of his wife.

Old Lady Jiang:...

"You! I am your Nainai!"

Old Lady Jiang truly could not understand what was good about this woman other than her beauty.

"I'm doing this for your own good! You can't spoil a wife, or she'll soon be riding on your head!"

She was doing this for her eldest grandson's sake, so why couldn't this eldest grandson understand?

Jiang Cheng suddenly crouched down, then picked up Si Rong.

While everyone was stunned, Si Rong had already been hoisted onto Jiang Cheng's shoulders.

Uh, from this height, she could look down at Old Lady Jiang.

She could also clearly see Old Lady Jiang's eyes bulging with rage.

"There's no need for you to worry about that, Nainai; if she wants to ride on my head, she can do it anytime."

Old Lady Jiang:...

Jiang Yu let out a laugh, then gave his brother a thumbs-up.

He really couldn't imitate this move.

Worried that Si Rong might be scared, Jiang Cheng gently set her back down.

Most importantly, his wife had applied medicine, so that sitting position wasn't suitable.

He lifted the corner of his eye slightly, giving Jiang Yu a provocative look.

The meaning was: your brother is always your brother.

"Go ahead and spoil her! Keep indulging her!" Old Lady Jiang was so angry she paced furiously around the sofa. "How did I give birth to a fool like your father, and then end up with two big fools like you two, each one so bewitched by his wife that he can't tell north from south!"

Jiang Yu wasn't listening at all; he was winking at his wife and asking softly, "Do you want to?"

"What?" Xu Yan was timid and worried they might actually anger the old lady to death, so she reminded him to listen properly to what Nainai Jiang was saying.

"Ride on my shoulders!" Jiang Yu thought that posture was very cool, but his little wife was fair and chubby like a waxy corn cob, and she couldn't be allowed to get hurt. "When we go back to the room later, I'll let you ride on me on the bed, okay?"

Xu Yan:...

Thanks for the invite, but she didn't have that hobby.

Seeing that the old lady was truly furious, no one dared to leave for a moment, so they had no choice but to watch her pace in anger.

Suddenly, the old lady plopped back down onto the sofa, pointed at Si Rong and Xu Yan, and commanded, "You two, come over and serve me by washing my feet!"

She was the elder; did the two granddaughters-in-law dare to say no?
