Chapter 376: Hurry Up and Give Her a Daughter-in-law

She didn't know where she had gotten a basin from, and had lit a fire inside it. "In a moment, I must have Jiang Cheng's wife step over a fire basin. Women belong to the yin; she must get rid of the evil spirits as soon as she enters our door!"

"I'm telling you, this is the period of 'Destroying the Four Olds.' If you don't throw that basin away, I will report you for putting righteousness above family right now!" Hu Qian glared at her.

The old lady hunched her shoulders, afraid after all. She pursed her lips and looked at her son, but seeing him looking up at the sky and ignoring her, she had no choice but to miserably carry the scorching hot basin back into the courtyard herself.

Hmph! These bastards!

However, this bride Jiang Cheng had just married seemed to have a good temper; from now on, there would finally be someone in this house she could manipulate.

Soon, the children watching the excitement at the entrance shouted, "The bride is here!"

"The bride is young and pretty! The groom is in a rush to the bridal chamber! In the middle of the night, cooing and chirping, turns out they are..."

"Go, go, go!" Jiang Yu trotted over to chase these annoying little brats away.

Jiang Cheng was worried that these vulgar doggerels would make Si Rong unhappy, so he turned his head to look at her, only to see her eyes shining brightly. "Eh, why did Jiang Yu chase those children away? I hadn't heard the rest yet."

Jiang Cheng:...

He moved closer to Si Rong. "Wait until tonight, I'll tell you when we're sleeping tonight..."

"Alright, don't you forget."

Driver Xiao Zhang:...

He should be under the car, not in the car.

So the cold and stern Company Commander was actually like this in private in front of his wife, just like any ordinary man.

Sister-in-law is truly capable!

A long string of firecrackers was laid out from the entrance of the Jiang Family to the gate of the compound. Amidst the sound of the firecrackers, Si Rong was easily scooped up by Jiang Cheng and carried into the Jiang Family step by step.

In Jiang Cheng's sturdy arms, she suddenly felt a sourness in her nose.

Only she herself knew that this was already the second time she had married Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng's mind was equally restless at this moment, with many images flashing through it just like before.

In the images, he seemed to be holding Si Rong just like this, with many people around him, but they addressed him as Army Commander.

Jiang Cheng shook his head, wanting to shake these images out. Was he going crazy wanting a promotion?

Si Rong was carried all the way into the bedroom. The furniture and layout of the bedroom were slightly different from two days ago; she supposed it must have been rearranged while she was away these past two days.

The bed seemed to have been replaced with a new one, and the bedsheets were scattered with peanuts, longans, melon seeds, and wedding candies.

One could see the care the Jiang Family had put into every arrangement.

"Rongrong, are you hungry?" Ming Zi asked from the side. "You didn't eat much this morning."

Si Rong shook her head. "Not really hungry."

If a girl wants to look good, she can't eat until she's too full; otherwise, how could she look good in a wedding dress with a little belly sticking out?

"I'm hungry," Ming Zi knew that her good friend was the type to maintain her figure daily. "The banquet at the Jiang Family today looks good. I wonder when they'll send it in for us."

The two were just talking about it when they saw Jiang Yu bring two young men to set a table of dishes for them in the bridal room first.

"Sister-in-law, my brother is afraid you're hungry, so have some dishes first. If you want to eat anything else, just tell me. The chef hired today is from the State-run Hotel; he can cook anything!"

"Thank you, Jiang Yu."

"Sister-in-law, you're being too polite. From now on, we're one family."

He didn't rush to leave after serving the dishes.

"Sister-in-law, you eat first. My brother also gave me a task, so I'll stand at the door for a while."

Si Rong didn't know what the brothers were up to. "Why stand at the door? You should come in and sit down to eat a little too!"

She wasn't an ordinary bride; she was already very familiar with Jiang Cheng's family from her past life and wouldn't feel shy.

"No need, sister-in-law," Jiang Yu had already spotted his task. "Nainai, what are you doing here?"

Old Lady Jiang slapped his arm away. "I'm here to see Jiang Cheng's wife! She already has dishes in this room? Just as well, I'm hungry, and I don't want to be in the courtyard outside arguing and making a racket with those people."

"What? You want to eat?" Jiang Yu hoisted her up. "How can you run around when you're supposed to be eating? You'll fall into the latrine later. Hurry up, go to the front yard!"

Old Lady Jiang:...

Ming Zi blinked her eyes. "So, Jiang Cheng knew his Nainai would run over to bother you, so he specifically had his younger brother come to take her away?"

"He really does dote on you. But this Nainai of his, she won't be living here long-term, will she? She doesn't look like an easy person to deal with."

"She lives in her three sons' homes in turns, but in this house, the old lady has never been able to gain any advantage."

She had nothing to worry about.

"It seems it's better to have more sons," Ming Zi concluded. "Not having a man isn't a big deal, but I'll have to produce two sons sooner or later."

Si Rong:...

"Sister, you don't actually not know how sons are produced, do you?"

"Of course I know," Ming Zi told her about a foreign novel she had translated two days ago. "It has detailed descriptions about that aspect in it. Do you want to read it? If you want to see it, I'll bring the book to you. It's just right for you to study on your wedding night."

"No need, I'd rather see how you translated it."

She and Jiang Cheng had already become proficient in such matters in their past life.

"The way I translated it is, of course, absolutely perfect—fusing the ancient and the modern, combining the East and the West, very excellent!"

Si Rong:...

"Hurry up and eat!"

This era is not like the future; marriage is relatively serious, and there are no chaotic scenes of hazing the wedding.

Fang Ting also came into the room to eat with them. Halfway through the meal, she heard that Jiang Dacheng had drunk too much, so she got up and left.

Si Rong could see from the window that the drunk Jiang Dacheng wouldn't listen to anyone except Fang Ting, and she couldn't help but hook her lips into a gratified smile.

Her daughter-in-law's mother, she must quickly see her own heart clearly and hurry up and get married to give her a daughter-in-law!

After lunch, the guests all left.

Ming Zi helped her tidy up her makeup and hair and also left, under the pretext of not wanting to be a third wheel.

In the courtyard, many relatives and neighbors were helping Mother Jiang clean up the leftovers, and a few middle-aged women were working especially hard; it was not difficult to see they were good sisters of Hu Qian.

There was a lot of warmth among the neighbors living together in this large compound, and Si Rong remembered that in her previous life, Hu Qian went to Haidao with them and often mentioned the neighbors from the compound.

"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Cheng gently embraced her from behind, and Si Rong wrapped her arms around his lean, powerful ones, "Thinking of you."

Jiang Cheng tightened his grip and kissed her heavily on the neck, "Rongrong, you really have a lot of nerve."

Today was their wedding night, yet she still dared to tease him like this.

"Is this considered having a lot of nerve?" Si Rong was not afraid in the slightest, "Wait until tonight and you'll know; there's even more to come."

Jiang Cheng:...

How did he get the feeling that the roles in their conversation had been reversed?
