Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

"Sure, you can come after you've finished taking care of things at home. We're not short-staffed in the kitchen anyway," the head chef said generously.

On the way home from the police station, Luo Chunhua asked Bai Jing many questions. When she finally asked if the two of them had done anything inappropriate, both mother and daughter looked ashamed.

"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? Is your daughter that kind of person?" Bai Jing was speechless. What was her mother thinking?

It's no wonder Luo Chunhua thought that way; how could anyone not worry when two young people have been alone together for so long?

"That's good. You're still young. It's better for your health to wait until you're over eighteen before having sex," Luo Chunhua said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Bai Jing thought of her past life. Although she was engaged to Wu Ming when she was sixteen, she didn't marry him until she was eighteen.

Looking back now, her mother's decision to keep her for two more years was for a specific purpose.

"Mother." Bai Jing, thinking of some secrets between herself and Jiang Chen, could no longer hold back her shame and indignation. "If you say another word, I won't talk to you anymore."

Seeing her daughter like this, Luo Chunhua understood perfectly. "Alright, I won't say anymore. You know what I mean."

When the two returned, Jiang Chen was still resting in Bai Yong's room. Bai Jing was afraid that her mother would overthink things, so she quickly told her about Jiang Chen's injury.

Hearing Bai Jing's words, Luo Chunhua's eyes were full of heartache. "I'll go to your Uncle Wang's place and see if he has any old hens. I'll buy some to help him recover. Don't take your health for granted just because you're young."

Thinking about how badly he was injured, Luo Chunhua felt very distressed. She had to make sure he recovered well while she was at home.

“Okay, Mom, you can go by bicycle. You took the day off tomorrow, so you can go and tell your second and third uncles to come over for dinner tomorrow.” Bai Jing said to her mother, thinking that everyone was at work and that time was tight.

"That's what I'm thinking. Although mentioning the eight cakes counts as an engagement, there's definitely not enough time to prepare this year. So let's set it for tomorrow, and you can officially get engaged. Then Xiao Jiang will take you to buy a couple more outfits. Our family isn't particular about dowries. As long as you two are doing well, your father and I will be happy."

Luo Chunhua looked at her daughter, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Bai Jing smiled at her mother and said jokingly, "Mother, he gave me a lot of betrothal gifts, and he's given me his entire fortune."

As she spoke, she went inside and took out her cloth bag.

She took out two bankbooks, but she didn't dare take the one her grandfather had kept, for fear of scaring her mother.

"look."

Seeing the bankbook, Luo Chunhua smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang is a good person, but don't be as extravagant as before." She had just finished speaking when she saw the number in the bankbook, and she swallowed all the words she was about to say.

"This is too much."

She had never seen so much money in her life.

"Xiao Jiang just gave you all of this?" She never expected Xiao Jiang to give so much. "Aren't you afraid you'll run away with the money?" Putting herself in his shoes, she would never do such a thing.

It's always better to keep your money in your own hands.

Perhaps everyone's life is different, and everyone makes different choices when faced with challenges.

Jiang Chen was willing to give everything to Bai Jing to prove his love for her.

Having experienced the hardships of life, Luo Chunhua had a completely different mindset. In her understanding, no one could be trusted except herself.

If she had such a large sum of money, she definitely wouldn't give it to her man; she would keep it in her own hands just in case.

"Mother, what are you saying? Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Bai Jing was speechless, never expecting her mother to say such a thing about her.

"Besides, I'm going to marry him in the future. If he doesn't give this money to me, who else can he give it to, Mom?" Bai Jing stopped and took her mother's hand. "I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, Jiang Chen isn't like Dad. Besides, he has no one left in his family. If he dares to bully me in the future, you can stand up for me."

"Don't forget, we have two younger sisters and a younger brother in our family, plus my cousins, who can bully me?" Luo Chunhua really couldn't do anything with her. Besides, did she even mean that?

"You," she knew that her daughter had met someone who truly cared for her, "you should treat Xiao Jiang better from now on."

The two people's voices also startled Jiang Chen, who was resting in the house, and he quickly got up and came out.

As soon as I came out, I saw the mother and daughter sitting on the sofa talking.

"Xiao Jing," he called out to Bai Jing, "Is Mom back?"

He called out "Mom" very smoothly.

Walking to the sofa, Jiang Chen awkwardly called out to his future mother-in-law, "Mom, you're back! I'm sorry to have kept you from going to work."

"Xiao Jiang, come here and sit down. Did we disturb you with our talking?" Luo Chunhua's expression of delight was no less than when she saw her daughter. "Xiao Jing said you were very tired from the long drive back. Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

Jiang Chen hadn't been cared for like this in a long time, except for Bai Jing, of course; the relationship between the two was different from that between elders.

"Mom, I feel much better after sleeping for a while." Jiang Chen sat down with ease, then looked at his mother-in-law, "I'm sorry to have kept you from going to work. I came to your house this time to bring a gift."

He still misses the eight-cake.

He was determined to solidify his relationship with Bai Jing no matter what.

"Mom, wait a minute."

After saying that, he got up to get the things he had bought. "There aren't many things. I don't know the customs for engagements here. Mom, can you take a look? If it's not enough, I'll go buy more this afternoon."

Luo Chunhua stared in shock at the things on the coffee table. Even though she had seen a lot of the world, seeing these things still made her tremble.

"This thing is too expensive. There aren't many rules in our village. Besides the eight cakes, the engagement is just that both sides buy a new set of clothes. After Xiaojing told me about your clothes last time, your dad and I went to buy them."

At this point, Luo Chunhua also got up to get her things.

Bai Jing had no idea that her mother had prepared these things.

It seems that she started making preparations after her mother agreed to let her go to see Jiang Chen last time.

For some reason, Bai Jing felt a pang of sadness.

In her past life, she always felt that her parents' love for their children was biased; at least she felt that she was the one who was not loved.

I never expected to receive this kind of recognized family affection in this life.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen noticed that Bai Jing was acting strangely and immediately sat down next to her. "Did something happen? Don't be afraid, tell me, I'll take care of it."

Bai Jing shook her head, wiping away the tears in her eyes, not wanting him to see her vulnerable side.

"It's nothing. I just didn't expect my mother and the others to have prepared things so early. I guess she started preparing them after I went to see you last time."

Hearing her say that, Jiang Chen's smile widened. "You know, it's good that Mom loves you so much. We should treat Mom and Dad better in the future."

He has no relatives left; now the Bai family is his family.

"Okay, whatever you say." (End of Chapter)
