Chapter 768: Chapter 768: Live-in Son-in-law 30
The Jiang Family protected Jiang Min, saying that Jiang Min wasn’t lying, but merely telling the truth. They also claimed that the Kang Family tricked them into marriage, saying that Kang Chengbing couldn’t have children but still got married, causing Jiang Min to go from a virgin to a divorced woman.
The Kang Family, feeling frustrated and angry at the Jiang Family, couldn’t refute these claims.
Initially, it was indeed the Kang Family who suggested the marriage, but they were unaware of Kang Chengbing’s infertility. The Kang Family did not deceive anyone into marriage.
However, the Jiang Family spread rumors everywhere, accusing the Kang Family of deceit and publicizing Kang Chengbing’s infertility.
The Jiang and Kang families, once close friends, had become enemies. When they met, they couldn’t help but exchange barbs.
In the past month, wherever Kang Chengbing went, he faced looks of disdain. Even his childhood friends would sneak glances at his waistband with strange expressions, leading him to end friendships with them in anger.
This is why Kang Chengbing didn’t want to go anywhere this past month, preferring to come to the Sheng Family to chat with Yuan Chun.
The Sheng Family didn’t look at him with judgmental eyes.
Yuan Chun didn’t disdain him either.
Mrs. Sheng even liked him very much.
He really enjoyed being with the Sheng Family.
"Chengbing, Yuan Chun, it’s time to eat," Mrs. Sheng’s voice called from the living room.
Kang Chengbing helped Yuan Chun up, carefully helping her put on shoes, insisting on supporting her as she walked. Yuan Chun laughed, "My legs are fine, I can walk by myself."
But Kang Chengbing didn’t let go, "I’m just worried your legs might be weak from lying down too long."
Alright, her legs were indeed a bit weak.
Yuan Chun allowed him to support her to the living room and sat down at the table. When Mrs. Sheng saw this, her old eyes laughed until they were just slits. "Chengbing, sit down quickly. I made some fried tofu today; try it and see if it’s cooked properly."
Mr. Sheng also came out to eat.
The bicycle factory had delivered the wheelchair car half a month ago, so Mr. Sheng no longer ate in his room. Instead, he sat in the wheelchair and ate with his wife and daughter. Sheng Xiaobei loved his grandpa’s wheelchair and often begged to sit and play on it.
Every day, Mr. Sheng would take Sheng Xiaobei, sit in the wheelchair, and take a few laps around the courtyard.
For the convenience of Mr. Sheng’s wheelchair, Mrs. Sheng had the thresholds of their home cut down, the steps replaced with ramps, and even the trenches in the vegetable garden widened to accommodate the wheelchair.
At the dining table, after eating some fried tofu, Kang Chengbing pointed out a few issues. Mrs. Sheng listened carefully, and by the evening, she fried another piece of tofu following Kang Chengbing’s suggestions. The taste was indeed much better than at noon.
After lunch, Kang Chengbing went out.
Half an hour later, he returned carrying a bag of jujube candies and a bag of peaches. "The peaches just arrived fresh today. They looked very fresh, so I bought some for you to try." ℯℓ.
"Why are you spending money so casually again? We have plenty of food at home." Mrs. Sheng took the bags, unable to stop smiling.
In the afternoon, because he had to go to work, Kang Chengbing went inside to say a few words to Yuan Chun before leaving in a hurry.
Mrs. Sheng brought in the washed peaches, smiling broadly, "Yuan Chun, I think Chengbing is a really good person. What do you think?"
"Mom, I’ve only been divorced for a month."
"What does it matter if it’s only a month? Some people get divorced today and remarried tomorrow. It’s been a month for you. What are you afraid of people saying now? Everyone talks about the freedom of marriage nowadays."
Mrs. Sheng handed her a peach and added, "Look how good Chengbing is to you. Every few days, he buys you loads of stuff. Whenever he sees something good, he thinks of you. Where else can you find another good man like this?"
"Even your dad never treated me this well," Mrs. Sheng said sourly.
