Rebirth or let the ungrateful wolf be born

She sat back in her old seat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and started watching her favorite series.

She only watches Korean dramas and buys the original discs so she can follow the series anytime.

Lin Musen heard the voice and turned to look at the living room. He found his wife sitting on the sofa and watching TV again. Thinking of the first time he came to the villa, when he saw her through the window without curtains in the yard, he compared the current scene to the most satisfactory one for him. Compared with the mood at that time, the current scene is the most satisfactory result.

Lin Musen was so happy that he cooked several more dishes. He was also considerate enough to bring the prepared meals directly to the coffee table in front of Jiang Jie instead of putting them on the dining table in the restaurant.

"Eat quickly! Are you hungry?" Lin Musen handed him a pair of chopsticks and a small bowl of rice.

"When did you learn to cook?" Jiang Jie took a bite of the meat dish, which looked pretty good, and praised it. "It's delicious, and the cooking skills are not bad."

"I know how to do it. I've been able to do it since I was a child." Lin Musen started cooking at the age of eight, but he cooked less as he grew older. After getting married, he never cooked a meal for Jiang Jie.

“I thought you couldn’t cook like me? I’ve never seen you cook, but I didn’t expect your simple cooking could taste better than what I made with my heart.” Jiang Jie thought of the original owner again. When she was too sick to move, she didn’t get to eat the meals made by Lin Musen. She thought this man couldn’t cook until her death.

"As long as you like it, I will cook for you every day and keep you healthy." Lin Musen didn't know what Jiang Jie was thinking and showed off to her proudly.

"You're not going to work, so why do you cook every day? I ate twice last night and I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep all night. But at my mom's place, if I don't eat, she'll nag me. At my third uncle's house, if I don't eat the food my third aunt cooks, I'll be suspected of not giving her face, and I'll just be forcing myself and making my body suffer." Jiang Jie rejected Lin Musen's suggestion to cook for her.

"Jiang Jie, I don't want to go to work so far away anymore. Can I stay here with you? I am willing to continue carrying stones with my uncle." Lin Musen looked at Jiang Jie seriously while eating, hoping that she would nod in agreement.

What Jiang Jie feared finally happened.

"But I have to go to work and leave on the fifth day of the New Year. You know, I still have to make money for the surgery! Besides, this is my mother's house. It's okay for us to stay for two nights occasionally during the New Year. If we stay for a long time, my brother and sister-in-law will be dissatisfied." Jiang Jie said the reason she had thought about for half a night. "Besides, I don't want you to do hard labor at such a young age."

Lin Musen continued to eat with some frustration, and for a moment he lost his direction.

"Are you hiring where you work? Introduce me. As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid of any hardship or fatigue." Lin Musen still wanted to be with Jiang Jie, and he didn't want to live apart from his wife.

"I asked about it when I went to work there, and I also thought about asking you to come back to work with me, but there are only women there and they don't want male workers. This is a small city and there are no factories, so it's not easy to find a job." Jiang Jie's words completely made Lin Musen lose hope of staying.

Lin Musen: I am a grown man and I cannot let my wife support me. I have to continue to work outside the city to earn a living and then help her with the surgery. Otherwise, it is not a long-term solution for my wife to only be able to watch me but not be able to get close to me.

Jiang Jie only glanced at him and heard his inner voice. She finally breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't want to spend time and energy entertaining this nominal husband.

On the fourth day of the New Year, Jiang's mother returned to the villa and rode her tricycle back to town to do business.

Jiang's mother also served her son's family of three in the village. She had long wanted to come back to make money, but she had been patient and had not returned to the villa because she thought there was no one in the market. This morning, her son told Jiang's mother that he would leave the village today and go back to do business. The daughter-in-law did not go back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Chinese New Year, so she proposed to go back earlier this year and visit her parents' home for two days. The family of three had lunch early and left home. Jiang's mother couldn't wait to return to her daughter.

"Oh, Xiaolin is here too!" Jiang's mother didn't expect to catch up with her daughter and son-in-law when she came back in the afternoon. "Are you having dinner or lunch?" Jiang's mother teased the couple.

"Let's have two meals together. Mom, don't my brother and sister-in-law have any objections to your coming back?" Jiang Jie was very happy to see her mother. She really didn't want to continue being alone in a room with Lin Musen.

"I was thinking that you would have to work tomorrow, right? As soon as your brother and sister-in-law left, I came back. Anyway, there are not many guests at home. If there are guests, they will call me and I will ask them to come to the villa." Jiang's mother happily shared her life plan for the year with her daughter.

When Lin Musen heard Jiang's mother say that his wife would leave tomorrow, he became depressed and was too embarrassed to suggest that he stay.

"Mom, I also have to go back to my hometown tomorrow, and go back to work on the eighth day of the New Year. It may be Chinese New Year before we meet again. Mom, please give me your cell phone number, and I will call you when I have time!" Lin Musen had only heard that Jiang's mother had a cell phone, and did not know that Jiang Jie also had a cell phone. In order not to lose contact with his wife, he could only leave his mother-in-law's phone number.

Jiang Jie was afraid that her mother would tell her that she had a cell phone, so she quickly said, "I'll write down my phone number for you. Who knows, I might be there when you call me someday! I'm definitely not out of touch like I was last year."

This was what Lin Musen meant. He didn't expect that Jiang Jie saw through him at once. He was secretly delighted. He felt that the tacit understanding between him and Jiang Jie had returned.

"You two are really incomprehensible." Jiang's mother said something that made Lin Musen puzzled.

Jiang's mother did not expose her daughter's cell phone, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong with the young couple. You said they were bad, but they were very harmonious. You said they were good, but they didn't tell the truth. As a mother, she couldn't expose her daughter's behavior, so she could only cooperate and remain silent.

"Mom, you should go and have some rest. You have to get up early to sell vegetables tomorrow!" Jiang Jie knew that her mother was not good at lying, so she quickly asked her to go back to her room.

Lin Musen felt that his wife did this because she wanted to spend the last day alone with him. He looked at Jiang Jie with a smile that showed she had seen through the truth, and asked his mother-in-law to leave the living room and return to her room.

Jiang's mother: Is the son-in-law really stupid or is he just pretending to be stupid? If my son was fooled by my daughter-in-law like this, I, as a mother, would definitely not be able to accept it. But since it was done by my daughter, it doesn't seem that hard to accept.

Jiang Jie awkwardly handed the note with her mother's cell phone number written on it to the grinning Lin Musen. It was obvious at a glance that this man had a deep misunderstanding!

Jiang Jie: Forget it, as long as he is happy, let him think whatever he wants!

Jiang Jie was woken up by the alarm the next morning. She had to go buy vegetables and fruits for her mother. Because it was the New Year, the old vegetable vendors in the village had not started business yet. She could only drive to the farmers' market on the outskirts of the city to buy some fresh vegetables and fruits.
