"Get that thing’s na off our household registration book."
No one knew what the heck Shuicao’s parents were thinking when they actually accepted ng Xingsheng as their live-in son-in-law, even though they had a son.
Well, to be more precise, it was Shuicao’s mother who kept ng Xingsheng at ho and urged him to sign a severance docunt with his biological mother Wang Guilan and his brothers, witnessed by the Team Leader and the secretary.
At the sa ti, his ties with Shuicao were officially acknowledged as he beca the Cui Family’s live-in son-in-law.
The night outside the window was quiet, at the Cui Family’s.
"What on earth were you thinking?"
Mr. Cui was an honest man who didn’t understand why Mrs. Cui agreed to have ng Xingsheng as their live-in son-in-law.
"What can I think? Shuicao is the eldest and a strong worker. The other three, all together, aren’t worth one like her. Plus, your health has been failing these past couple of years. If Caocao really married out, tell , who could we rely on to look after Jiabao in the future?"
Mrs. Cui had given birth to four daughters and one son. From her conversation with Mr. Cui, it wasn’t difficult to discern that Shuicao was the eldest daughter. Among the four sisters, Shuicao was the prettiest and best at sweet-talking, pleasing their parents. And being the first child born to Mr. and Mrs. Cui, she was second only to her younger brother Cui Jiabao in receiving parental favor.
As such, Shuicao never really had to do any hard labor from the ti she was young, as her mother and father doted on their eldest daughter and worked the other three daughters like oxen and horses.
As for Cui Jiabao, being the youngest in the family, not even eight years old, he was treated like a little tyrant at ho, spoiled rotten by both Mr. Cui, Mrs. Cui, and Shuicao.
If it had not been for Wang Guilan making a scene at the Cui Family that day, in other words, if Shuicao’s reputation had not been ruined by Wang Guilan, perhaps Mrs. Cui would have gone with Shuicao’s wishes and married her off to Educated Youth Tang or Ma Donglai, the youngest son of the Team Leader’s House.
In any case, if Shuicao could marry into a good family, Mrs. Cui was all for it, as it would help ensure support for their younger son Jiabao in the future.
But the unexpected happened with Wang Guilan.
Consequently, Mrs. Cui’s thoughts changed, and ng Xingsheng turned out to be a godsend, or to be more precise, a pillow that fell into her lap.
Big and strong, plus a bit of a simpleton, completely at the rcy of her daughter.
If he really beca their live-in son-in-law, wouldn’t that an they could order him around as they pleased? As for whether their daughter would share a room with ng Xingsheng or bear his children, Mrs. Cui didn’t care in the slightest.
Moreover, Mrs. Cui hadn’t forgotten that Wang Guilan had a son who was doing big things. Okay, this was sothing ng Xingsheng had told Shuicao, who in turn had told Mrs. Cui.
Given this, Mrs. Cui felt that taking in ng Xingsheng as a live-in son-in-law was a surefire profit!
"But we have a son, and we live in the sa village as the ng Family. Tomorrow, the whole village will probably be talking behind our backs," Mr. Cui said with a sigh. "Just give it to straight, has Caocao... has Caocao been playing the field?"
"So what if she has? My girl is pretty and well-behaved; shouldn’t she be picky when finding a match? Had it not been for that shrew Wang Guilan coming to our house to make a fuss today, Caocao might have actually been able to marry Educated Youth Tang and later follow him back to the city to beco a wealthy city lady!
At the very least, Caocao could have married that boy Donglai and entered the Team Leader’s House as a daughter-in-law! But all because of Wang Guilan’s commotion, Caocao’s reputation is now completely ruined,
aning finding a good marital match is out of the question, and that fool Xingsheng just happened to present himself at our doorstep, willing to be our live-in son-in-law,
