A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

Seeing that Shang Jiang was getting impatient, everyone tactfully changed the subject.

Shang Jiang then punched Lu Congyue: "It's all your fault for talking nonsense."

"I was just saying it casually, why did you react so strongly?" Lu Congyue scoffed. "I said, are you sure you're not interested in that girl? Your reaction doesn't seem like it."

"I just feel sorry for her! Why won't you believe me!" Shang Jiang said, increasingly annoyed. "Fine, I can't be bothered to talk to you."

He was probably in a bad mood, so he picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp.

Lu Congyue couldn't be bothered with him. He was over thirty and still couldn't find a wife. Tch...

The wedding banquet lasted until after 8 p.m., and all the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely.

Perhaps because his daughter had finally gotten married again, Shang Jianjun was so happy that he drank a few more cups of wine. He forced himself to see the guests off and then hurried back to his room to rest.

Shang Jiang had been drinking alone and got quite drunk, so Lu Congyue carried him into the house and threw him onto the bed.

Peng Wanzhou and Shang Hua also toasted several times, their faces flushed from drinking.

Zhuang Qingxiang told them to go home and rest, while she and Lu Congyue stayed behind to tidy up.

Besides, neither the bride's family nor the groom's family would allow the bride to do housework on her wedding night.

Peng Wanzhou quickly thanked him, but his words were incoherent. Shang Hua, afraid that he would embarrass himself, quickly pulled him up and walked away.

Although the wedding banquet was held at the bride's parents' home, they didn't plan to stay there. The wedding room was Peng Wanzhou's single dormitory.

In a few days, once the housing application is approved, I will be allocated a two-room house, and then I can move in.

"Congyue, Xiaozhuang, thank you for your help today. It's getting late, so don't go back to the guesthouse. Just stay in my room; I've already packed everything!" Shanghua hurriedly instructed before leaving.

"Sister Shang, don't worry about us, hurry up and take your brother-in-law away," Zhuang Qingxiang said with a smile.

"hey-hey……"

Perhaps it was because he heard the words "brother-in-law" that Peng Wanzhou started grinning foolishly.

Shang Hua blushed: "You'd better not drink anymore, it's embarrassing! Come with me right now!"

He helped the person stagger back to the dormitory. As soon as they entered the room, before the door could even be closed, Peng Wanzhou pressed down on them.

Just as Shang Hua was about to scold him for sleeping on the bed, her skirt was lifted up, and a hot breath rushed towards her.

Shang Hua cried out in a low voice, his whole body tensing up in panic: "Peng Wanzhou, stop it, the door isn't closed yet."

"Sister, I've been holding back all night, sister... sister... you can feel it if you don't believe me..."

The air was thick with the smell of alcohol and the heat was scalding. Shang Hua bit her lip and struggled, "The door..."

She struggled to close the door, but the man behind her remained close, clinging to her back and refusing to leave for a moment.

Finally, the door was closed, and the person was pressed against the door panel.

"Peng Wanzhou!"

"Sister, you look so beautiful in that dress, really...so good..."

A muffled groan rang out, and no one cared whether the dress looked good or not; all that mattered was the unbridled joy of their wedding night.

When Zhuang Qingxiang and Lu Congyue finished cleaning the living room, dining room and kitchen at the Shang family home, their two sons were already asleep on the sofa.

Xiao Luyue rubbed her eyes and forced herself to wait for them, nodding her head slightly.

Ren Zhen ran out anxiously, and seeing that they were still there and the house was clean, she was both touched and apologetic.

These weren't originally their jobs, but they did them all without a single complaint.

Ren Zhen was so angry that she wanted to drag Shang Jiang out and beat him up.

He promised yesterday that he would clean up after dinner, but now he's lying in bed taking a nap. He has absolutely no sense of responsibility!

"Aunt Ren, don't call him anymore," Lu Congyue said with a smile. "He's preoccupied and has had a bit too much to drink. Besides, we're all family, it's no big deal for us to do something for him. Or does Aunt Ren really only see us as guests?"

"Nonsense, I treat you like a son." Ren Zhen feigned anger. "Back then, your worthless father treated you like that. When Lao Shang brought you back, he said you were our son and that he would never associate with that bastard Lu Sheng again."

"That's settled then. I'm your son, and Qingxiang is your daughter-in-law. It's only right that we help out with your sister's wedding, isn't it?" Lu Congyue said with a smile. "Aunt Ren, don't take it to heart. Just consider it my way of showing my respect to you."

Zhuang Qingxiang stood beside him, smiling gently, without a trace of reluctance on her face.

Ren Zhen was deeply moved and took Zhuang Qingxiang's hand, saying, "You're the most tired person today. I don't know how to thank you enough..."

"Aunt Ren, as Cong Yue has already said, it's our way of showing respect to you, so please don't say that," Zhuang Qingxiang said softly.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. You're all good kids!" Ren Zhen said with emotion. "You're not allowed to leave tonight. You'll stay at home! It's not like we don't have rooms... Cong Yue, you stay in your old room, and Xiao Zhuang and the child can stay in Shang Hua's room. That's settled then, no refusing! Otherwise, I'll get angry!"

Lu Congyue and Zhuang Qingxiang exchanged a glance, then smiled and nodded in agreement.

The three people carried the three children upstairs and put them on Shanghua's bed. The children were fast asleep and didn't wake up at all.

After Xiao Luyue decided to stay here tonight, she fell asleep instantly.

Seeing that they were sleeping soundly, Ren Zhen smiled and said, "That's great... Our family is sorely lacking children! I really don't want you to leave..."

Zhuang Qingxiang could sense that she genuinely loved her, Lu Congyue, and their three children, and her heart softened. She joked, "Aunt Ren, don't worry, Sister Shang and Shang Jiang will definitely give you a whole class of children in the future."

"Pfft...you silly child..." Ren Zhen was amused by her and poked her forehead. "Alright, you two should wash up and go to sleep. You're all exhausted today."

Lu Congyue responded and took Zhuang Qingxiang to wash up. Then, when no one was around, he pulled Zhuang Qingxiang into his room and kissed her several times.

Zhuang Qingxiang shyly pushed him away, telling him not to do anything reckless, as this was not her home.

Lu Congyue hugged her and took a deep breath: "I'll talk to Sister Shang later and give this outfit to you. You look good in it."

The chic clothes she wore gave her a contradictory allure.

Fearing something might happen if Zhuang Qingxiang stayed any longer, she quickly agreed and ran out.

I had just returned to my room when I heard a soft knock on the door.

"Xiao Zhuang, are you asleep?" Ren Zhen's voice rang out immediately.

Zhuang Qingxiang hurriedly went to open the door: "Aunt Ren, you're still awake?"

"Your Uncle Shang snores so loudly, I can't sleep." Ren Zhen smiled. "Come over and have a chat with you."

Zhuang Qingxiang quickly invited her inside: "Aunt Ren has something to say to me."

"Mm." Ren Zhen responded, then said apologetically, "I know about what Lao Shang and Ahua did before. They did those foolish things without even discussing them with me. I apologize to you on their behalf."

After Ren Zhen finished speaking, he stood up and bowed deeply to Zhuang Qingxiang.

Zhuang Qingxiang quickly stepped aside: "Aunt Ren, that's all in the past, you don't need to do this."

"That's a must!" Ren Zhen said earnestly. "However, I also have my own selfish reasons. I hope you can truly forgive them. They were prejudiced against you, which led to this situation. But now they should know you're a good girl and won't look at you with prejudice anymore. Both of them are as stubborn as mules, they won't know to regret it until they hit a wall. Even though they haven't said anything, they actually already consider you family."
