The house was also filled with the heavy smell of smoke. When she walked in, she found that the living room was very lively.
The Zhang family parents were sitting on the sofa. Zhang Jiasen’s father was smoking a pipe. The ashes fell on the sofa and made a pile of dark ashes.
Zhang Jiasen’s mother was eating the fruits on the coffee table and had tossed the skins all over the table. Little Sis Zhang’s eyes were darting around and after a few moments, her eyes filled with satisfaction.
As for Little Sis Zhang’s twin brother, he had already taken over the computer and was playing energetically.
There were also three strangers that Ning Shu hadn’t seen before. They seemed to be a family. The woman was hugging a little girl that looked about three and her husband clearly didn’t have any good intentions. He was seizing up the house and he rubbed his hands together from time to time.
Ning Shu: …
Her eyes dilated as a bad feeling washed over her.
This house was originally pretty big. It was nearly two hundred square meters, but with so many people crammed in, it became very crowded.
“Miaomiao, you’re back?” Zhang Jiasen came out from the kitchen and looked towards Ning Shu with a very gentle gaze.
Ning Shu took a deep breath and ended up getting a lungful of smoke, so she started coughing.
“Humph, where did you run off to? As the wife not only are you not staying in the house, you’re even making the man cook?” Zhang Jiasen’s mother immediately started trying to establish her dominance as the mother-in-law. She was wearing very dark clothing and her skin was pretty much black. She was very out of place in this luxuriously decorated house.
Zhang Jiasen’s mother seemed conspicuously unsophisticated, but right now she was straightening her spine and doing her best to show off her status as the mother-in-law.
“Mom.” The woman holding a child tugged at Zhang Jiasen’s mother before greeting Ning Shu. “Sister-in-law.”
“Miaomiao, this is my older sister, Zhang Wenlan,” said Zhang Jiasen. Then he pointed at the man next to Zhang Wenlan and said, “This is my sister’s husband, Tan Heyu.”
Tan Heyu smiled ingratiatingly towards Ning Shu and revealed his yellow teeth as he greeted, “Sister-in-law.”
Ning Shu shifted her gaze away. She looked at this huge family, then tilted her head as she looked towards Zhang Jiasen. What was this current situation? It wasn’t just the Zhang family, even Zhang Jiasen’s older sister’s family had come.
Zhang Jiasen reached out and pulled Ning Shu to the balcony. He seemed to be organizing his words. Ning Shu didn’t speak, but inwardly she was laughing coldly as she glanced again at the people inside the room. She’d like to see what Zhang Jiasen planned to say.
“Miaomiao, Mom and Dad have come to live with us,” said Zhang Jiasen. “Mom and Dad have been working hard their entire lives and never had the chance to enjoy a single blessed day. For the sake of supporting me through college, they sacrificed everything they had, so my younger siblings weren’t able to enjoy their childhoods either. My older sister was always trying to help me financially too. Miaomiao, we’re an integral whole as husband and wife. My parents are also your parents, so can you understand me?”
I can understand that you’re a frickin’ bastard. She had never taken a single penny from the Zhang family, so she had no responsibility towards the Zhang family. Right now, Zhang Jiasen was just trying to forcefully pin this responsibility on her using the marriage.
This was just like, before you got married you borrowed a lot of money, and then right after you got married, you wanted this ma’am to help you pay back the debt. Keep dreaming!
Ning Shu was about to explode from anger. Zhang Jiasen seriously treated her as a fool. He seriously believed that she loved him and would listen to him about everything.
He wanted her to support a family this large? And more people like some seventh aunt or eighth uncle might even be joining later on.
Ning Shu inwardly chanted the mind-clearing chant. I’m not angry, I’m not angry at all. Ha. Ha. Ha…
