How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 256: The True Daughter-in-Law Replaces the Fake Daughter-in-Law
Chapter 256: Chapter 256: The True Daughter-in-Law Replaces the Fake Daughter-in-Law
Mom saw a string of zeros on her message and was completely stunned...
Miao Ruolan got up, walked to the yard, and gently patted her head, feeling a bit confused...
High bride prices, everyone involved is committing a crime!
Whether it’s her or Zhou Xi, whenever they receive cases related to bride prices, they curse, deeply loathing this social phenomenon. But what can they do?
The reality remains, her brother’s marriage, parents’ wishes...
The already twisted social status quo...
Someone said, in an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent... ƒreewebɳovel.com
But when various factors of reality are tied together, it becomes an invisible whip, forcing people to get involved...
Bride prices are like another form of internal competition...
Once this trend starts, it’s hard to stop...
For example, a family with a son and a daughter, your daughter gets married stylishly, without bride price, but the parents of your son’s bride insist on it, what can you do?
If parents could cut their meat and sell it for money, they would gladly stew their old bones, but can this old soup really be worth money?
Everyone, every household, gets dragged into it, whether willing or not...
Miao Ruolan’s account has far more than 380,000 yuan.
Nowadays, 380,000 yuan is really not a lot to her.
She didn’t tell her mom because she felt the money shouldn’t belong to her; it’s Lin Xiaosu’s love for her, and she couldn’t squander his affection, yet reality forced her to bow.
She felt sorry for Lin Xiaosu...
"Hey! Ruolan!" a tender voice called out.
Ruolan lifted her eyes and saw Hui Yan.
Hui Yan was dressed flamboyantly today, fully showcasing her youthful charm.
"Hui Yan!" Miao Ruolan smiled and greeted her.
"Ruolan, I feel like you’ve completely changed this year!" Hui Yan approached: "You’ve become so gorgeous, I almost didn’t recognize you."
"No way!" Miao Ruolan’s face slightly flushed.
"You say no! Let the villagers see; you’re definitely a different person from last year!" Hui Yan chuckled lightly: "Got a boyfriend, huh? That’s the effect of being nourished by a man..."
Mrs. Miao, who had just excitedly put down the phone with their new in-laws, was preparing to share the good news with her daughter but suddenly halted upon hearing Hui Yan’s words.
The two women chatted for a while, Hui Yan was constantly switching topics between making money through live streaming, buying cars, and houses, but Miao Ruolan showed little interest, making the conversation awkward since they weren’t in the same circle; finally, Hui Yan left...
Miao Ruolan returned to the house, and was immediately pulled by her mom...
"Lan’er, tell mom, are you and that Lin Xiaosu..."
Miao Ruolan’s face turned entirely red: "Mom, don’t talk nonsense! We’re business partners..."
"Business partners? Still can develop into something more, you said he treats you so well..."
"Mom, you should be more concerned about brother!" Miao Ruolan had no confidence on this subject. The key is, despite Hui Yan’s poor judgment on other topics, her insight into relationships was sharp enough to see through that she had been nourished by a man.
"Your brother’s matters are settled!" Mom’s excitement flushed her face: "I just talked with the in-laws on the phone; once they heard that the money was ready, they were very enthusiastic, asking us to go over tomorrow to discuss the kids’ marriage..."
Similar scenes are played out in various versions across villages in Fengcheng County.
New Year’s, originally the season for pushing marriage.
There’s usually no time for exchanges, New Year’s is the chance, isn’t it?
Therefore, anyone over twenty-five during each festival, is constantly pressured...
Lin Xiaosu in Old Tashan Village, is no exception.
Causing several young people around thirty in the village to avoid going home during New Year’s, and even if back home, they avoid visiting homes. If a guest comes, and the topic turns to marriage, the poor young person often flees to the restroom...
Except for Lin Xiaosu.
He’s a model figure.
He’s the "child of others" that everyone in the village talks about...
Why?
He’s impressive!
How impressive?
Without spending a penny, he managed to get a girl to directly move in!
And this girl is capable, she’s the epitome of an ideal daughter-in-law.
Can grow vegetables, do laundry, tidy up the house and yard.
The meals she cooks are comparable to a five-star chef.
Most importantly, she’s very easy-going, whatever the mother-in-law says, she follows...
Always smiling...
Most importantly, she’s pretty!
With this, the marriage pressure for Old Tashan Village often starts with "look at the Lin family in the east end of the village..."
This also causes a problem, that wives who married into Old Tashan Village, seeing little Ye, somewhat resent her. Everyone slacking off on the same level would be better, but she’s so outstanding even before marriage, making it hard for others...
Due to a subtle fear of comparisons.
Little Ye in Old Tashan Village, actually has no friends.
This just suits Lin Xiaosu.
If she were real, he would want her to have friends, live happily and fully.
But there are those who shouldn’t have friends, as they themselves aren’t real...
"Mom, when will dad be home?" Lin Xiaosu asked.
"Should be around noon?" Mom said.
Little Ye blinked beside: "Xiaosu, shall we go buy some New Year’s goods?"
Lin Xiaosu was a bit surprised, what?
A little robot having her own ideas?
But mom agreed: "It’s good if you buy New Year’s goods; I don’t know what Little Ye likes; you two go and buy what you love..."
Lin Xiaosu rode the old motorcycle at home.
Little Ye happily hugged his waist.
At least to outsiders, this is a model.
In the county town, they bought fish, meat, firecrackers, and also clothes for parents.
When Lin Xiaosu tied the items to the motorcycle, Little Ye went to the nearby public restroom.
About ten minutes later, she came out...
"Everything’s ready! Shall we..." Lin Xiaosu’s voice suddenly stopped.
He stared at Little Ye’s eyes wide open.
Little Ye’s clothes are still the same.
Her face seemingly still the same.
But, just seemingly...
She is not Little Ye!
She is Chang Ye!
"Figured it out?" Chang Ye smiled softly.
"Why are you here?"
Chang Ye said: "Accompany you for Little Year’s meal."
Today is the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Little Year!
Little Year’s meal is also a New Year’s meal. According to local tradition, it still needs offerings to the ancestors, saying Little Year welcomes the ancestors first, then sends them off on the fifteenth...
Therefore, this meal holds different significance.
Chang Ye came.
Considering getting New Year’s goods was Little Ye’s suggestion, Lin Xiaosu boldly asserted that Chang Ye gave Little Ye instructions.
Chang Ye swapped clothes with Little Ye, taking her place.
And Little Ye, will spend the day in the hotel.
"Just dinner for Little Year and then you leave? Not staying overnight?"
Chang Ye’s lovely eyes turned slightly: "We’ll see..."
"Come on, get on! I’m taking my real wife home!"
Chang Ye chuckled: "In fact, real and fake are interesting... You can totally treat Little Ye as your real wife, real and truly, while I’m more of a fake wife, only letting you test the feeling. Honestly, I think eating and leaving later might be better, otherwise you’ll pull us both into the frying pan together..."
"Our last breakthroughs were from the feeling."
"Last time was last time; this time is this time! Last was a breakthrough; this time can’t be..." Chang Ye lay on his back, her chest rubbed against his back, quite intimately.
However, this is probably the most intimate she can be.
When they reached home, dad had already returned.
Chang Ye walked up to him, warmly called him uncle, making dad so happy he couldn’t close his mouth, pulled out a red envelope to give to Chang Ye, saying it’s their first meeting; she must accept it.
Chang Ye behaved like Little Ye, complying with whatever elders said, took it without arguing.
Mom laid dishes on the table and lit incense.
Let Lin Xiaosu kowtow.
For Chang Ye, the old couple had no demands.
After all, she isn’t a true bride yet.
But Chang Ye stepped forward, kowtowed along.
The old couple was beaming with joy...
Lin Xiaosu’s thoughts diverged silently...
Chang Ye, did you suddenly come today and switch with Little Ye for this reason?
You knew about the traditional ceremony to honor ancestors.
You thought ancestors cannot be lied to.
So you appeared in person to complete this ritual?
If so, that’s really thoughtful...
The noon meal showed the true colors of a family.
In the afternoon, Lin Xiaosu and Chang Ye took a lap around Old Tashan Village.
By evening, the sky gradually turned dark, showing a snowstorm might be imminent...
Mom called from the courtyard: "Little Ye, Xiaosu, it’s windy outside, come back."
So, they returned.
Just walking into the courtyard door, a cold breeze blew, the first snow of this year fell.
By dinner time, snow had accumulated heavily. After dinner, Lin Xiaosu and Chang Ye went up to the second floor.
Inside, the electric heater was on.
Moreover, it had been turned on earlier.
While Lin Xiaosu and Chang Ye were out, mom had turned on the electric heater, ensuring the room remained warm.
Though a small gesture, it deeply touched Chang Ye.
Rural ladies are usually very frugal, but for her comfort, mom showed a lot of care.
This is the warmth of home.
"The snow is heavy!" Lin Xiaosu sat by the window: "Seems like heaven wants you to stay for New Year’s."
"Heaven wanting me to stay doesn’t matter!" Chang Ye smiled softly: "The key is, I don’t have Little Ye’s fortune. I can’t cook, can’t play truly with you, suddenly I feel inferior to Little Ye in every way."
"How’s that possible? For me, at least..." Lin Xiaosu pointed to his heart: "A thousand Little Yes combined can’t compare to one true Chang Ye!"
Chang Ye chuckled: "Isn’t it a bit early for emotional words? Save it for later."
"Then what do we do now?"
"Talk about matters!"
"Start then!"
Chang Ye lifted the teacup in front of her: "You probably care about the newly arisen Utopia organization; let me tell you about Utopia..."
