Chapter 21 - First Meeting With Mother in-law

Although we only bumped into each other in the village and never spoke,she seemed to be a very nice person.

Anyway, Qiao zhiqing liked her mother-in-law's cheerful round face at first sight.

Recalling what Qin Huai had said, Qiao zhiqing was certain that her mother-in-law was an easy person to get along with, so she stepped forward gracefully and said:

"Mom, I am Qiao zhiqing, your daughter-in-law. Qin Huai and I went to town today to get our marriage certificate. We didn't tell you beforehand because of some special reasons, but don't worry, Qin Huai and I will take good care of you and Father-in-law in the future."

Qin Huai turned his head and listened to Qiao zhiqing's words, feeling a warm feeling in his heart.

He was initially afraid...

Realizing he had thought too badly of his wife, Qin Huai couldn't help but blush.

He realized that from today onwards, he would be a married man.

This feeling, though unfamiliar to him, also filled him with particular joy.

The person who was most shocked at that moment was Wang Guihua.

She was already shocked enough to see Qiao zhiqing come out of her son's room, but now, after hearing Qiao zhiqing say these words, she felt a little dizzy.

Although she was sure she hadn't misheard, she still couldn't help but look at Qin Huai and ask, "Son, is what she said true?"

Qin Huai almost laughed and nodded, "Yes, it's true."

"Oh my God!" Although Wang Guihua felt the news was too sudden, seeing that her son had nodded in agreement, she could only accept it, even though she was still a little overwhelmed.

Upon realizing that her son had actually gotten married, Wang Guihua slapped her thigh and quickly stepped forward to grab Qiao Qiqi's hand.

"Look at me, I haven't had time to prepare authing"

I'll prepare anything."

As she spoke, she turned around and glared fiercely at Qin Huai. "It's all that brat's fault. He only talked about making me a quilt, but he didn't mention his wedding at all. It's already dark, and we won't make it to town in time. Here's what we'll do: you come back with me tonight, and I'll cook you a nice meal. Tomorrow, I'll take you to town and buy you some new clothes."

Seeing that her mother didn't blame her, Qin Huai felt a little bad. "Mother, it's so late, don't bother. I have some stew in the pot. You can stay and eat what's ready."

Qiao zhiqing quickly added, "Yes, you can stay here and eat with us. Qin Huai, go and bring our father over too, so we can eat together."

Qin Huai's eyes lit up, and he was about to nod when Wang Guihua grabbed his arm.

"No need. Since you've already cooked, and I haven't even bought any meat today, you two can eat at home. I'll go back first and come back tomorrow."

As she spoke, Wang Guihua glanced at Qiao zhiqing again. She had never met her before but she , but she knew that this girl had a loud and boisterous personality, which was somewhat similar to her own.

During this brief interaction, just those two sentences from Shan Qiao zhiqing warmed Wang Guihua's heart.

Seeing that her son had married such a sensible and filial daughter-in-law, Wang Guihua couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.

She immediately turned and walked towards the courtyard gate, afraid that her son and daughter-in-law would see her and make a fool of themselves. "Alright, you two hurry up and eat, I'm going back now."

"mother..."

Qin Huai was about to say something when Qiao zhiqing interrupted, "Mother, don't go back, just stay and eat with us."

"No, the food at home is already in the pot, it'll spoil if we don't eat it. Okay, you guys go back now, I'm leaving." Wang Guihua said hurriedly, and quickly ran home.

She had to hurry back and tell the child's father this wonderful news.

Thinking back to the old days when the two of them couldn't sleep at night on the kang (a heated brick bed), they were always worried that Qin Huai was too dull and wouldn't be popular with girls, and that he would never be able to find a wife. Now, things are finally fine, and they don't have to worry about it anymore!

Thinking of this, Wang Guihua, who had already run some distance away, suddenly slapped her thigh and ran back.

As she arrived at the courtyard gate, she saw Qiao zhiqing and Qin Huai about to enter the house, and she quickly called out, "Daughter-in-law, wait a moment."

Qiao zhiqing turned around and saw that her mother-in-law had returned. She quickly ran to the courtyard gate and asked, "Mom, are you willing to stay and have dinner with us?"

"No." Wang Guihua took her hand, and after catching her breath, she looked at Qiao Qiqi and said, "I came back to tell you that my son is a bit dull. If he makes you angry, don't be like him and don't get angry with him. Just tell me and I will help you deal with him."

Qin Huai, thinking his mother had come back for something important: "..."

In the end, it was all for naught!

Qiao zhiqing turned her head and saw her husband's embarrassed expression, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But as she laughed, she suddenly felt like crying.

All day long, although she tried to ignore her time travel and not think about her parents whom she would never see again, she was still very sad.

But now, seeing that God has given her two new mothers all at once, Qiao zhiqing is immediately satisfied.

To stop herself from crying, Qiao zhiqing immediately sniffed and looked at Qin Huai with a smug expression, "Did you hear that? I have someone backing me up. Let's see if you dare to bully me again!"

Qin Huai really wanted to say: I never dared to bully you before!

But when he met Qiao zhiqing's bright, sparkling eyes, he thought of last night.If she meant this kind of bullying.then he probably really couldn't do it.

With a loud bang.

Seeing that he was thinking such things in front of his mother, Qin Huai blushed and immediately lowered his head, awkwardly tugging his toes in his shoes.

Wang Guihua watched the interaction between the two and felt increasingly satisfied.Having said everything she needed to say, she quickly added, "Alright, it's getting late. You should all go back and eat. I'm leaving now."

"Mother, shall we have Qin Huai take you?" Qiao zhiqing looked up.

Wang Guihua waved her hand behind her, "No need, you guys go back and eat!"

In a good mood, Wang Guihua felt like she had inexhaustible energy in her legs, and she walked very fast. Thinking about her son's wedding and his future wife, she couldn't help but hum a song:

Time flies and never returns.

The past can only be reminisced.

Remembering my childhood sweetheart

Childhood sweethearts, inseparable day and night

The spring breeze has once again turned the flower buds red...

Qiao zhiqing's eyes lit up.

Seeing that her mother-in-law could sing Teresa Teng's songs, and sang them quito well, I couldn't help but laugh.

Turning back, just as she was about to praise Qin Huai's mother's singing, the man suddenly turned and left, saying, "I'm going to get some rice."

Looking at the man's red earlobes.

Seeing that the man was obviously shy, Qiao zhiqing raised an eyebrow, then thought of the bleeding she was experiencing down there, and gritted her teeth in anger.

It's only a week, isn't it?

She endured it!

Turning back into the house, Qiao zhiqing noticed the things scattered all over the floor when she got up earlier. These were all things she and Qin Huai had bought in town that day.

Since there are no cabinets, they can only be placed on the floor.

Realizing that we still needed to build a base cabinet, as well as a cabinet for the kang (heated brick bed), and since there wasn't a single cabinet in the kitchen, we also needed to build kitchen cabinets.

Although Qiao zhiqing had the original owner's memories, she didn't know howmuch these things would cost because the original owner had never done them.

However, she knew that furniture made in this era was all handcrafted by the village carpenters, and it was made of solid wood. She estimated that the labor and materials combined were not cheap.

Thinking about how I only have a little over 20 yuan left in my pocket, it might not even be enough.

Moreover, she and Qin Huai still need to make a living, so this money needs to be saved for living expenses, and they need to find another way to pay for the cabinet.

Fortunately, Qiao zhiqing had already come up with a good way to make money when she went to town today!
