Chapter 147 -147: The Fu Family and the Si Family Form a Stark Contrast
“Love is blind, seeing how the two of you are together, our whole family feels relieved,” Mrs. Si said with a beaming smile, clearly fond of how the two children got along.
Old Sir Si: “…” Relieved about what! Who knows if this woman will dump his grandson again.
In the kitchen, Father Si: “…” Does ‘the whole family’ perhaps not include him?
After dinner was finished, a servant came forward to clean up the chopsticks, while Mrs. Si personally went to the kitchen, planning to make a small cake for Sang Qiao.
Old Madam Si sat on the sofa outside and chatted with Sang Qiao, a level of attention that was noticeable.

This side of the family was getting along harmoniously.
On the other hand, at the Fu Family.
The Fu Family lived in a very simple place, only a single-floor apartment with two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen, all covering about sixty to seventy square meters.
When Su Nuanying was brought over, the expressions on Fu’s parents’ faces were completely different from the last time they saw her; Fu Xing was caught in the middle, playing the peacemaker, “Dad, Mom, Xingxing’s parents’ attitude doesn’t represent Xingxing, please don’t be angry.”
“How can we not be angry! Last time at dinner, we were chased away before even getting our food, and how many people were there laughing at us. It’s true she’s a Miss, but my son is no less, ‘do not despise the young for being poor.’ If you can’t accept our family, you two should just break up early.”
Mrs. Fu, with a face iron-blue with anger, would get furious whenever she remembered that scene.
“Fu Xing, you know your mom and I aren’t vain people. If you didn’t really like this Miss, we would never even dream of reaching for this high branch!”
Mr. Fu’s expression was no better, but he mentioned this just to make this Miss do something rather than really caring about the face like Mrs. Fu. They couldn’t just let their family suffer such disgrace for nothing, as the neighbors were all laughing at them now!
“Uncle, Aunt, don’t blame Xingxing, it’s my fault. I didn’t expect my parents to have that attitude, but they can’t interfere with my decisions. I want to be with Xingxing, and I hope you can agree.”
Su Nuanying mustered the courage to speak these words; her coming today was all about preparing to be together with Fu Xing.
Mr. Fu: “What does it matter if you want to be with my son? Your parents don’t agree.”
“It’s not about whether your parents agree or not now, look at you, so pampered and spoiled. What help could you be to my son in our home? You can’t even manage household chores, not to mention having a career.”
Mrs. Fu spoke out, disparaging; how much she had favored this young Miss before was how much she disapproved of her now.
The parents did not agree, which meant that even if they married, they wouldn’t get any money.
“I can learn, and my parents just don’t agree for now. If I persist, they will compromise over time.”
Su Nuanying spoke urgently, fearful that Fu’s parents might also disapprove of them being together.
“Mom, Dad, don’t blame Xingxing. It’s my lack of ability,” Fu Xing aptly took all the blame onto himself.
“Well, what do you two suggest we do about this?” Mr. Fu threw the problem back at his son straightforwardly.
“Xingxing and I plan to fight a long battle; Su’s parents will surely be moved by us,” Fu Xing held Su Nuanying’s hand, his tone firm as he looked at his parents.
He was also hinting to them to stop complaining too much and to avoid provoking Su Nuanying.
“Alright, didn’t you say you wanted to learn cooking? Come in, I’ll teach you.” Although Mrs. Fu still resented that day’s humiliation, with the Su family being rich, she could eventually claim her revenge once she became in-laws with them.
“Okay, Aunt Fu.” Su Nuanying followed obediently, not feeling unwelcome in the slightest.
“Xingxing, let me help you,” Fu Xing also followed, wanting to join in.
Mrs. Fu turned and glared at him, “You a grown man, what are you doing in the kitchen? Wait outside for me.”
“Mom, I…”
“It’s okay, Xingxing, you don’t need to help; Aunt will teach me,” Su Nuanying also persuaded him.
Fu Xing had no choice but to stay back, although his eyes revealed his concern.
Seeing this, Su Nuanying felt sweet inside. As she entered the kitchen and looked at the utensils, she realized she didn’t know how to use any of them; she had never been in a kitchen since her childhood.
At home, there were usually housekeepers to cook, but thinking it was for being together with Fu Xing, she felt it was worth it.
Mrs. Fu ordered her around without any courtesy, spending much time just moving her lips and never planning to help; she would even scold her when Su Nuanying did something wrong.
“Just look at you, incapable of anything. I really don’t know where your parents get the nerve to disdain my son. If it weren’t for your arrival, my son would have already been together with the girl next door, who is hardworking and proficient in all household matters.”
“Sorry, Auntie,” Su Nuanying felt a bit displeased after hearing the last sentence but dared not show it.
“Alright, hurry up and cook.” Mrs. Fu glanced at her displeased, obviously feeling triumphant inside.
Aren’t Su’s parents quite capable? Now their precious daughter still has to serve her!
By the time Su Nuanying finally managed to make four dishes and a soup, her hands were red from the cold. The seasonings were added by Mrs. Fu, and the taste was still good.
Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu ate quickly, and were eager with the meat dishes, “Son, eat more.”
“Xingxing, you eat more too.” Fu Xing symbolically picked up a piece of fatty meat and was about to place it in her bowl.
“She doesn’t need to eat meat; eating vegetables is fine,” Mrs. Fu picked the meat back with her chopsticks, putting it in her husband’s bowl.
“It’s okay, I don’t like meat.” Su Nuanying quietly lowered her head, her hand slightly stiff, slow in picking vegetables, and hardly ate a few bites before only vegetables were left.
After the meal, Fu’s parents left a remark “Xingxing, remember to wash the dishes,” then directly went out for a walk.
Su Nuanying cleared the dishes with a stomach full of grievances.
“Xingxing, don’t be too sad, my parents are just still angry,” Fu Xing wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, comforting her softly.
Su Nuanying felt the strong heartbeat from behind, and it comforted her heart a bit, “I understand.”
“You can just leave the dishes,” Fu Xing said while his actions did not try to stop her, nor did he intend to help her wash.
After thinking for a while, Su Nuanying figured Mrs. Fu would be unhappy if she came back to see a pile of dishes, so she sighed, “No worries, I might as well learn to wash dishes.”
“Then I’m sorry to trouble you, once I start making money we can hire a housekeeper for our home.”
“Okay.”
After washing the dishes, Su Nuanying sat on the sofa, feeling so aggrieved for the first time.
She wished her parents hadn’t given Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu such disdainful looks. She still remembered the first time she came; they had really liked her as their daughter-in-law.

Si Family old house
After dinner, Si Chenli sent Sang Qiao back, and as they were leaving, Mrs. Si stuffed a bunch of supplements into the car.
“Qiaoqiao, come visit more often.”
“Okay.”
The car drove off.
Then Sang Qiao turned to look at the man, recalling the scenes from today where Si Chenli’s father had both lunch and dinner in the kitchen.
“Your dad’s status in the family seems pretty low.”
“All the men in the Si Family are henpecked,” Si Chenli commented softly, a flicker in his dark eyes.
Sang Qiao thought about Old Sir Si’s reaction and felt this statement was indeed correct, then thought about Si Jing, who also seemed like a man who feared his wife, and then thought about Si Chenli.
Not quite.
She turned her head to look at him, “Would you be afraid of your wife?”
