Chapter 2 is completely different from before.
Seeing Jiang Yinglan's expression change slightly and Bai Jiao'e's sarcastic remarks, Mu Xiaowan remained calm and simply said, "This is thanks to the efforts of my second brother's family."
Without saying anything more, he walked into the kitchen.
It seems the future mother-in-law is fully aware of the situation.
You should know that when she woke up in the hospital, Bai Jiao'e was particularly attentive, constantly praising her for being understanding and apologizing to her, saying that Chu Junbai was young and impetuous and that she should not make a big deal out of it.
Later, Chu Junbai compromised due to his parents' concerns, and Bai Jiao'e, playing the good-natured person, took her back to the Chu family first.
Bai Jiao'e couldn't wait to announce to the world that this "simple and honest" girl was about to become Chu Junbai's wife.
Mu Xiaowan thought that Chu Junbai had only refrained from breaking off relations because of that pitifully small amount of family affection.
As the future daughter-in-law, she first needs to make her stance clear and form a united front, so that things will be easier for her in the future.
Since she's already here, she might as well make the best of it. She needs a stable place to stay, she can't let go of that scumbag, and she also needs the means to be independent.
Besides, even if she wanted to leave now, the Chu family wouldn't let her go.
Mu Xiaowan took off her scarf. She was now sharing a room with her sister-in-law, Chu Zhihui. It wasn't convenient to leave the scarf upstairs, so she stuffed it into Chu Junbai's hands, saying, "Take it upstairs for me. I'm going to help Auntie cook."
Chu Junbai glanced at the black scarf in his hand. It was a new scarf knitted by Mu Xiaowan herself, and it was very soft.
This woman used to be so desperate to cling to him, but now she acts all indifferent. It seems she's not just a simple country woman.
Chu Junbai wanted to throw the scarf directly on the chair, but his good manners made him take it upstairs to Mu Xiaowan's room.
He took off his coat and went downstairs wearing only a military green shirt.
in the kitchen.
When Jiang Yinglan saw Mu Xiaowan come in, she said calmly, "You've just recovered, go back to your room and rest. Since you're going to marry Junbai, if you're not feeling well, you'll only be a burden to Junbai. In the future, the Chu family will still have to rely on you."
Previously, I hadn't had my period. After taking the medicine prescribed by He Yongsheng, I unexpectedly found that it cured my irregular periods. I experienced heavy bleeding and ended up being hospitalized for a few days.
Of course, Bai Jiao'e had someone spread rumors at the hospital that Chu Junbai was young and vigorous and used too much force, causing the girl to bleed heavily on her first night.
Spreading rumors costs nothing, but debunking them is not so easy.
However, this future mother-in-law is really good; she's sensible and understanding.
"Auntie, let me help you. Besides, rural kids aren't that delicate."
"This disease doesn't discriminate between rural and rural areas, so just peel some scallions and garlic for me, and you don't need to touch anything else."
These words were so pleasing to the ear that Mu Xiaowan obediently helped peel the scallions.
At this moment, Bai Jiao'e pushed open the kitchen door and said, "Xiao Wan, cook more. Your second uncle and your eldest brother will be coming over in a little while."
Mu Xiaowan glanced at her. Bai Jiao'e clearly saw Jiang Yinglan cooking, yet she ordered her around. Wasn't that obviously showing that she didn't respect Jiang Yinglan?
It seems he's gotten used to swaggering around and really thinks he's something special.
Since she's being ordered around, she should reply that it's okay.
"Second Aunt, noodles won't taste good if they clump together. Let's eat dried noodles. We can make more when Second Uncle and the others arrive later, it'll be more convenient."
"Auntie, let me ask Junbai how much he wants to eat. We'll cook only what he wants, so we don't waste food."
Jiang Yinglan was surprised that Mu Xiaowan, who hadn't said much in the few days since she moved in, made Bai Jiao'e blush and turn pale with anger as soon as she opened her mouth. She was indeed clever and quick-witted.
She was bound by her good upbringing and was too soft-hearted, so she needed a sharp and intelligent daughter-in-law like this.
She was satisfied with this.
"it is good!"
Chu Junbai, who was coming downstairs, overheard their conversation. He rolled up his sleeves as he walked over and said, "One bowl is enough. I ate something in the cafeteria."
He glanced at Mu Xiaowan. She had bright features, black hair and dark eyes, and a melodious and delicate voice. Her appearance would be considered outstanding even in the city, let alone in the countryside.
She was poised and graceful in every gesture. In the past two days, she did not feel restrained or timid despite the grandeur of the Chu family compound. She remained calm and composed.
Her grandfather was an old revolutionary, and her uncles and father all held important positions. Many people would be terrified of any one of them, but she was different.
She was completely different from her previous tantrums and silliness.
She's really cunning; she and her second aunt are putting on a very good show, playing along perfectly.
Then he'll just have to watch how they act next.
Bai Jiao'e gritted her teeth, but could not vent her anger.
Just as Mu Xiaowan and Chu Junbai sat down to eat, Chu's second uncle and eldest son, Chu Shaoze, arrived.
Bai Jiao'e hurriedly came over to order Mu Xiaowan to cook. She was holding back a lot of anger, thinking that since you took the blame for your future mother-in-law, then don't blame her for being impolite. It would also let Mu Xiaowan know who is in charge in this family and who she should listen to in the future.
"Xiao Wan, your second aunt accidentally pulled her hand and it hurts so much she can't cook. Could you make a bowl of noodles for your second uncle and your eldest brother?"
Chu Junbai glanced at Mu Xiaowan, wondering how she would act next.
Mu Xiaowan said unhurriedly, "Oh, Second Aunt, you forgot that the doctor told me to avoid getting wet, and you were right there with me at the time."
Bai Jiao'e never expected that Mu Xiaowan would be so clueless about social etiquette as to dare to reject her directly to her face.
"I want to help too, but I can't cause any more trouble for everyone," Mu Xiaowan said innocently.
Bai Jiao'e's smile almost shattered.
Jiang Yinglan went to answer the phone, and even though she was here, Bai Jiao'e didn't dare to openly order her around.
She had no choice but to cook for herself.
Mu Xiaowan ate with elegance, taking small bites but making no noise. Her slender, slightly rough fingers held the chopsticks with light, graceful movements.
Chu Junbai withdrew his gaze, but inwardly snorted coldly.
Keep pretending, no matter how long you keep pretending, your true colors will eventually show.
The bowl was quickly finished, and Chu Junbai cleaned up Mu Xiaowan's bowl and took it into the kitchen.
"Second Aunt, you've worked hard!" Since it's an act, it doesn't matter if it annoys Second Aunt.
Bai Jiao'e stared at Chu Junbai's retreating figure, her eyes filled with coldness.
After finishing her meal, Mu Xiaowan didn't take off her cotton-padded coat, which made her sweat profusely. She went back to her room to change her clothes.
She had already thrown away the tattered clothes she wore when she came here, and was now wearing Chu Zhihui's clothes, which were about the same size as her.
Chu Zhihui disliked her, feeling that she had ruined her excellent brother, but because she was about to become her sister-in-law and soon become family, she began to show her some respect.
"Boom boom boom!"
There was a knock on the door.
Mu Xiaowan quickly changed into a sweater and went to open the door.
"I want to talk to you."
The man was handsome, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and was a head taller than Mu Xiaowan.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on Mu Xiaowan.
Mu Xiaowan's skin was slightly yellow, but her features were very beautiful. Her fox-like eyes were captivating, and her lips, naturally red, were beneath her pert nose. When she smiled, her teeth were white and even.
"it is good!"
