Chapter 769: Chapter 769: Live-In Son-In-Law 31
Yuan Chun, munching on peaches, mumbled indistinctly, "Mom, if I’m getting married, I have to get better first, right? I’m still panting when I walk; how could I get married like this?"
"So, you’re agreeing?" Mrs. Sheng’s eyes shone brightly as she slapped her thigh in excitement, "Oh my, this is fantastic news; I need to tell your dad right away."
Mrs. Sheng excitedly ran to the yard to share the good news with Mr. Sheng.
Yuan Chun leaned against the bed, listening to her younger daughter’s giggles in the yard and Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Sheng happily discussing the upcoming wedding. Her lips curved slightly upwards.
Lately, Heavenly Dao had been solely focused on his own son, leaving the Sheng Family alone for the time being, but Yuan Chun remained vigilant.
To complete her task, she stayed home, never leaving the Sheng Family, keeping Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng, and Sheng Xiaobei under her watchful eye.
But Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng, and Sheng Xiaobei couldn’t stay at home forever. Since she hadn’t fully recovered, Mrs. Sheng had to take care of everyone and couldn’t go out. Once she healed, they would have to go out eventually.
Therefore, a permanent solution was needed.
Her remarriage was about two things: having feelings for Kang Chengbing and providing the Sheng Family with additional support, offering Sheng Xiaobei another father figure, so Qin Dashan would no longer be Sheng Xiaobei’s only dad.
Even if Heavenly Dao wanted to ruin the Sheng Family, their assets wouldn’t end up in Qin Dashan’s or the male lead’s hands.
Half a month later, Yuan Chun’s health was fully restored.
Under Kang Chengbing’s constant urging, Yuan Chun didn’t play coy and agreed to marry him. She said, "I don’t have a job and don’t want to work in the future. Also, I wish to continue living at the Sheng Family home after marriage; if you agree to these two conditions, I’ll marry you."
"I agree, I agree,"
Kang Chengbing said excitedly.
The Kang Family Old Mansion is over an hour away by bike from the State-owned Restaurant. Finding the commute too far, he usually lived in the single dormitory provided by the restaurant and only returned home to see his grandparents and parents on weekends.
The Sheng Family home is much closer to the State-owned Restaurant, just about a fifteen-minute walk. After marriage, his wife would live at her mother’s home, so he’d move in to live with her.
Besides, his second brother’s father-in-law’s home is conveniently near the restaurant where his brother works, and both his second brother and sister-in-law reside there.
His sister-in-law is also an only daughter.
His grandfather, father, and the five brothers in his family all work as head chefs, descended from imperial chefs, so all Kang men cooked for others. His grandfather and father worked in a top-tier system cafeteria, preparing health and nutrition meals for elderly figures with high authority.
The eldest and the second oldest work as head chefs at the Imperial Capital Hotel, a place intended for entertaining dignitaries and foreign guests.
The third eldest works at Peace Restaurant.
The fourth and fifth work at the State-owned Restaurant.
Since the restaurants are quite spread out, only his grandfather, father, and eldest brother live at the Kang Family Old Mansion, while the second eldest lives at his father-in-law’s home, and the third and fourth live in houses given to them by their grandfather upon marriage. ℯ𝓵.
The house he was allotted is far from the restaurant, so he typically stays in a dormitory.
Jiang Min disliked the cramped and dirty single dormitory, unwilling to stay there, so she alternated between the Kang Family Old Mansion and the Jiang Family home.
In reflection, after marrying Jiang Min, it seems they haven’t spent much time together.
...
Three days later, Kang Chengbing brought a matchmaker to propose. As soon as the Sheng Family nodded in agreement, Kang Chengbing booked a large private room at the Peace Restaurant to arrange a meeting for the elders of both families.
Perhaps due to Kang Chengbing being infertile, the Kang family did not disdain Yuan Chun’s low birth, even with her being divorced and having a child. Grandma Kang and Mrs. Kang were very fond of Yuan Chun, showering her with praises upon meeting.
The compliments made Yuan Chun’s aged face flush red.
The Kang Family elders also took a liking to Sheng Xiaobei, each giving him a generous red envelope.
