Chapter 377: The Second Wedding Night

Forget it, the day is still young; I'll punish her tonight.

However, Jiang Cheng didn't dare say this out loud; he was afraid his wife might blurt out something else he couldn't handle.

"Let's talk about something serious," Jiang Cheng cleared his throat. "Wife, when do you want to have children after our marriage?"

When to have children?

Si Rong wanted them right now; she had been separated from her two children for as long as she had been through her Rebirth.

She missed them very much.

"Here is what I'm thinking," Jiang Cheng's deep voice flowed by her ear like a clear spring. "You are still so young, and you love dancing so much. Pregnancy will inevitably affect your figure. If we want children later, we should go to the hospital and get some contraceptives first."

Si Rong felt her heart wrapped in a wave of warmth; she hadn't expected Jiang Cheng to consider so much for her without a word.

She did love dancing; even though there was no stage for her now, she would habitually dance for a while every morning and evening.

She also loved her young face and skin as they were now.

Although she had maintained herself well in her past life, she had to admit that no matter how disciplined a woman who had given birth was, or how much money she spent on maintenance, her waistline could never return to its youthful state.

Many women accelerate their aging after giving birth.

Yet, compared to aging, she missed Si Yu and Si Nian even more.

Clinging tightly to Jiang Cheng's waist, she lifted her head to meet the gaze of Jiang Cheng, who was looking down at her. "I want to have children with you; let's have them tonight."

Jiang Cheng felt his Adam's apple tighten uncontrollably. He looked at the setting sun outside the window and only hated that it was getting dark too slowly.

"Xiao Cheng!" Grandma called from outside the door.

Si Rong had to reluctantly separate from Jiang Cheng for the moment. Just as Grandma was about to enter the room, Hu Qian pulled her out. "The house is so big, why must you go into the room of a newlywed couple? Later, let Aiguo take you back to the second brother's house!"

"I'm not going!" Grandma shouted at the door. "Rongrong! Rongrong, come out quickly! Let Grandma get a good look at you!"

Si Rong:...

"Don't pay her any mind; my grandma is mentally unstable," Jiang Cheng said.

"I should go out and see her!" Si Rong didn't know why the old lady insisted on seeing her. Could it be that because she wasn't a second-time bride in this life, and there were no rumors of her being infertile, the old lady liked her especially?

That didn't seem right either; apart from Cui Hua, she had never seen this old lady praise anyone else.

As soon as she arrived in the living room, Grandma grabbed her hand.

"Rongrong, you really are a gentle, good girl!"

The whole family stared at Grandma, shocked that she could actually say something pleasant.

"In the future, make sure you don't learn from that fierce mother-in-law of yours; she has really trained our whole family into cowards!"

The whole family:...

That felt right; it was still the same annoying old lady.

Si Rong just smiled and said nothing; she thought her mother-in-law was quite good.

"You child! Why aren't you saying anything?" Grandma said with disdain. "Unlike Cui Hua from our village, she is so good at talking. Every time she sees me, she twists those two oily black braids of hers, wiggles around, and calls me Grandma. It sounds so affectionate..."

"Cui Hua?" Si Rong glanced at Jiang Cheng, putting on an appearance of being very interested. "Does Grandma like her very much?"

"Cui Hua has such a big bottom, who wouldn't like her?" The more Grandma spoke, the more satisfied she became. She had long wanted Cui Hua to be her granddaughter-in-law.

Who knew that these two grandsons had no taste, one worse than the other.

"Look at how thin you are. Didn't they say your Si Family used to be very rich? How did they starve you until you're this thin?"

"From now on, since you've come to our Jiang Family, you must eat more so you can give me a big, fat great-grandson!"

"I understand, Grandma," Si Rong said obediently.

If she wanted to get pregnant, she did need to eat more, otherwise the child might easily suffer from malnutrition.

"What a good child!" Seeing her so obedient, Grandma became even more satisfied. "Tonight, you must eat three pork knuckles!"

Si Rong:...

She gave Jiang Cheng a look for help. Jiang Cheng immediately pulled her away from Grandma. "Three pork knuckles? Grandma, you also lived through hard times; are you trying to eat our Jiang Family into poverty?"

Grandma:...

"Exactly! Mom, are you a spy sent by the second family?" Hu Qian said immediately.

"I'm not! I just saw that Rongrong was too thin and wanted her to eat better," Grandma said, feeling extremely wronged.

"Then it seems we all misunderstood Grandma," Jiang Yu said at the right moment. "Grandma, they don't understand you, but I do. You are doing this for the good of our Jiang Family, for the good of our whole family, and for the good of my sister-in-law."

After singing her praises, Jiang Yu got to the point. "How could you want to eat Mom and Dad into poverty? You must be planning to pay out of your own pocket to buy pork knuckles for my sister-in-law. How about this: give the money to me, and I'll go buy them."

These words touched Grandma's heart; she was doing this for the good of the Jiang Family!

Opening the white handkerchief where she kept her private savings, she felt like something wasn't quite right.

But Jiang Yu had already nimbly opened her private savings, pulled out a ten-yuan bill, and handed it to Jiang Cheng. "Here! This is for Grandma to buy pork knuckles for my sister-in-law!"

Then he pulled out another one and put it in his own pocket. "This one is to buy pork knuckles for my partner. Grandma, you don't know, but my partner is also a bit thin."

After wrapping up the remaining money, he put it back into Grandma's pocket. "Grandma, don't spend money recklessly; save it all for us to spend."

Grandma raised her hand to hit this unfilial grandson, but unfortunately, Jiang Yu dodged very quickly.

Twenty yuan; her heart was practically bleeding.

"If you took my money, you have to marry Cui Hua!" Grandma quickly followed behind Jiang Yu. "Think about it, marrying a good wife like Cui Hua is better than marrying those delicate girls in the city, right? If you marry Cui Hua, she will serve you in the future; if you marry a city girl, then you'll be the one serving her!"

"I'm willing to!" Jiang Yu said.

Grandma was so angry she slapped the table. "This child, so muddled! Women, once the lights are out, are all the same. What difference is there?"

No one answered her.

The Jiang Family's dinner was very simple. Some clean dishes from the noon banquet were reheated, and then Jiang Aiguo stir-fried two plates of green vegetables.

After eating, just like in the past life, they all found excuses to go out.

Only Jiang Cheng and Si Rong were left in the house.

The two of them walked back to their room hand in hand. Si Rong shook his arm and asked, "That... Grandma said all women are the same. What do you think?"

"If all women are the same, then all men are the same too—the same two nostrils, two eyes, and one mouth."

"There are many women in the world, but none of them are you." Jiang Cheng's eyes were so clear that Si Rong's reflection could be seen within them.

Si Rong was very satisfied with this answer; she draped her arms over his shoulders and kissed the corner of his lips.

This kiss was different from the many times before.

Because this time they did not need to endure any longer; just as Jiang Cheng pulled the curtains shut and turned around, the person on the bed was gone.

Then he discovered that Si Rong was lying prone by the side of the bed, inspecting the bed legs as if confirming whether they were sturdy or not.

Jiang Cheng:...
