Chapter 676: Pinch Together

Gangdao.

Chen Hong and Zhou Xingxing's mother-in-law met, and then the two got their certificate.

Zhou Xingxing moved into the Yang Family's old residence.

Yang Ou complained incessantly.

"How is this old woman so difficult to deal with?"

She looked at Zhou Xingxing sleeping on the floor, feeling utterly stifled.

Zhou Xingxing was also being nourished by Chen Hong's daily oysters, turtle soup, goji-berry stewed long strips, and various kidney delicacies, causing him to have nosebleeds every day.

He lay on the floor thinking about ghost stories, and slowly the ghosts in the stories gradually turned into gorgeous female ghosts……

He was suffering terribly.

"Grandma, can you stop talking? I'm being played to death by you mother and daughter."

"Going on like this, I don't know if you have any business, but I'm basically going to die."

"Grandma, no matter what you say tomorrow, I have to go find a woman to vent my desire."

Yang Ou glared, the corners of his mouth curling into an evil smile.

"Find a woman to vent desire?"

You can go try it; when the time comes you'll be Household Chores, don't blame me for not warning you.

Endure it; wait until Mom leaves, then you can go relax.

By then I won't care about you, but if you act recklessly now, you'll bear the consequences yourself.

Zhou Xingxing felt utterly aggrieved; he had fallen for a big scam.

We agreed on a fake marriage, who knew your family would pull this trick?

You nourish me every day, yet you won't let me go out and play? You don't even play with me—this is trying to kill him!

He opened his eyes and looked at Yang Ou on the bed; Zhou Xingxing's eyes sprang to life.

Better to be beaten to death than to be suffocated.

Time slowly passed; Zhou Xingxing counted sheep, and it was midnight.

Hearing Yang Ou's snoring, Zhou Xingxing took several deep breaths before slowly getting up.

Afterward, he slowly moved onto the bed.

Yang Ou never expected Zhou Xingxing to be so bold.

He grunted uncomfortably twice, kicking the covers away so they vanished.

Zhou Xingxing slowly crept over, then Yang Ou rolled over and pressed him underneath.

Afterward, she clung to him like a body pillow, like an octopus, holding him tight.

Zhou Xingxing didn't know whether Yang Ou was asleep or asleep.

He didn't dare move for a while; then when he tried to shift, he realized Yang Ou's hands and feet had locked him down tight.

He struggled for a moment, only to find the hold growing tighter.

Zhou Xingxing, both frightened and exhausted, unknowingly fell asleep as well.

Early morning, with a thud.

Zhou Xingxing felt a huge force strike him, then he fell to the ground; his head buzzed from the impact.

Yang Ou was furious and flustered.

"Who told you to get on the bed?"

Zhou Xingxing, kicked and sore all over, felt his anger rise.

"Mom, Mom……"

The huge shout startled Yang Ou.

She rushed over and covered Zhou Xingxing's mouth.

"If you shout again, I'll kill you."

Zhou Xingxing, having thrown caution to the wind, writhed his body, having already taken full advantage.

Yang Ou, unable to contain her anger, gave him two hard punches.

Zhou Xingxing endured the pain, strained to free his hand from his mouth, and let out a piercing scream that pierced the whole room.

"Mom, save me……"

Chen Hong had already risen, preparing her loving breakfast.

Hearing the commotion, she rushed over excitedly.

"Bang bang bang……"

"Yang Ou, open the door—are you bullying my son-in-law?"

Zhou Xingxing heard his mother-in-law's voice, instantly feeling rescued, and struggled even harder.

Yang Ou, annoyed, gave him two more punches, then leaned to his ear and threatened.

"If you dare spout nonsense, I'll beat you to death."

Zhou Xingxing had long had enough of this life; he pretended to agree and nodded.

Only then did Yang Ou release him.

Afterward, she threatened him again with her fists and gaze.

Then she lifted him, threw him onto the bed, and only then went to open the door.

"Mom, what are you doing, first thing in the morning?"

Chen Hong shoved her aside and looked at Zhou Xingxing.

"Son-in-law, are you alright?"

Zhou Xingxing spoke tearfully, full of grievance.

"Mom, Yang Ou doesn't want a child; at night he won't let me into bed. Can we stop that food therapy?"

"Otherwise I'm afraid I'll be over-nourished to death before I even have a child."

Chen Hong's face turned red.

Then she looked toward Yang Ou.

"You little brat, dare to trick your old lady?"

Yang Ou loudly protested his innocence.

"Mom, you're going too far. I already told you, we're in a sham marriage, yet you insist we sleep together, and you keep giving him tonics every day."

"I'm telling you, your scheming plots have been exposed; I'm not playing along anymore."

Having said that, Yang Ou wanted to run away.

"A sham marriage? Yang Ou, you must be dreaming. Our Yang Family has never had a sham marriage."

"Once you get the certificate, you're a married couple."

"This life, you have to live it whether you like it or not; you still have to live it."

One wanted to run, the other wouldn't allow it, and the mother and daughter actually started fighting.

Watching this, Zhou Xingxing's heart pounded with shock; at the same time he realized that the mother-in-law had all along known they were in a sham marriage, and now she wants to make the pretense real.

This Yang Family is really bizarre.

How can you be so fierce? Don't you still need a son-in-law?

Do you really have to keep acting like this?

Yang Ou's slippery, deceitful skills are just mediocre.

After just a few moves, Chen Hong took him down.

He was thoroughly given a Household Chores, then was escorted to eat breakfast.

Zhou Xingxing watched the person leave, feeling completely foolish.

How is this damn thing going to play out next?

He did a bit of Household Chores, then dressed neatly, and while others were eating breakfast, he prepared to run away.

He had just slipped into the living room when the dining room echoed with Chen Hong's voice.

"Son-in-law, come back early today; Mom will make you something delicious."

Still playing?

Zhou Xingxing almost fell to the ground.

He thought that by running away the matter would be over, but who knew? Everything was exposed, and this act still has to continue.

"Aunt Chen, the company has launched a new movie, so…"

Before he could finish his nonsense, Chen Hong interrupted him.

"Alright, hurry up and go; remember to come back early tonight."

Yang Ou listened to their conversation, knowing that the old lady still wanted to play.

After hastily finishing breakfast, he wanted to run away.

Chen Hong shouted directly.

"What do you want to do?"

Yang Ou accompanied with a laugh.

"Mom, the company has something going on; I'll come back later…"

Chen Hong snorted.

"Today you can't go anywhere."

Yang Ou got angry.

"Mom, you're going too far; a melon forced to twist won't be sweet."

Chen Hong gave a dismissive snort.

"I, the old lady, don't care."

"All I know is that I've taken a liking to this son-in-law, and I want a grandson."

"Then the son-in-law is the son-in-law, and a grandson must be had."

"Before, I gave you too much freedom, so you can't distinguish between the major and minor."

Yang Ou shouted loudly.

"Mom, I'm going to tell Dad that you're arranging a forced marriage."

Chen Hong chuckled.

"The certificate was obtained voluntarily by you two."

Yang Ou realized he had been tricked.

"Then I'm unwilling, and you can't force me…"

Chen Hong chuckled…

"Between husband and wife, there shouldn't be so many fuss; here in Gangdao, having children and raising them is a natural duty that no one can interfere with."

"Don't try to fool me with those fallacious arguments."

"Here, the marital duties are a responsibility."

"Do you really think that just saying you're unwilling is enough?"
