The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Wang Gang and Li Shouhua stayed in the room for a long time, but they didn't know that Wang Kang, Wang Yi and Han had been waiting for a long time outside.

Seeing that no one had come to pay their respects, Wang Kang asked the nanny to go and inquire about the situation.

The nanny soon ran back with a strange look on her face and whispered something in Wang Kang's ear.

Wang Kang's face changed. At first she was a little angry, thinking that her son and his new daughter-in-law were being ridiculous. But when she saw her eldest son Wang Yi, who was half dead next to her, she suddenly became more open-minded.

"Gang'er is also expanding the Wang family." Wang Kang sighed, and then prepared to go back to her room to rest.

Wang Yi and Han were completely confused, and later the servants told them what Wang Gang and Li Shouhua were doing.

"Hmph!" Wang Yi immediately became unhappy. He coughed and cursed Wang Gang for being disrespectful and committing adultery in broad daylight.

Han didn't say anything, but looked at her husband Wang Yi with an increasingly mocking look.

Wang Yi soon couldn't stand Han's look anymore and started scolding her.

"You bitch, what do you think I mean?!" Wang Yi said angrily.

"Sir, you should take care of yourself and live longer. Maybe you can see the birth of a royal heir."

"You, bitch."

Wang Yi wanted to hit Han, but unfortunately his body was almost exhausted and he had difficulty getting out of bed, let alone hitting someone.

The couple had fallen out a long time ago. If Wang Yi had not been concerned about the Wang family's reputation, he would have written a divorce letter and driven Han away.

Han had long wanted to stop wanting to marry Wang Yi, but seeing that Wang Yi would not live long, she endured it with all her might, and would occasionally annoy Wang Yi and vent her anger.

After a while of quarreling, Wang Yi couldn't catch his breath and almost fainted. Fortunately, the servants found him in time and helped him sit down on a stool.

Han didn't react throughout the whole process, just watched coldly, and even hoped that Wang Yi would die soon.

When Wang Gang and Li Shouhua finished their work and walked over, they saw Wang Yi gasping for breath, with difficulty, while Han sat beside him leisurely drinking tea, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

Li Shouhua had also heard about the Wang family's affairs, but did not know the specific circumstances. Wang Gang was in the bridal chamber last night and forgot to tell Li Shouhua.

The servants were in a panic, giving Wang Yi medicine and patting his back, and they finally managed to get his breathing under control. He was temporarily stabilized, but his complexion was even worse.

When Han saw Wang Gang and his wife coming over, she didn't even look at Wang Yi, but instead took the initiative to greet Li Shouhua.

"This must be my sister-in-law! She is indeed kind and graceful. No wonder my uncle, who always looks down on others, sleeps with you until noon."

Han emphasized the pronunciation of the word "sleep", which made Li Shouhua very embarrassed.

Wang Gang snorted coldly and said, "Sister-in-law, my elder brother has already been like that, and you don't care? Don't you really consider yourself a daughter-in-law of the Wang family?"

Han said self-deprecatingly: "Does anyone in this family still regard me as a member of the Wang family?"

Wang Gang said coldly: "Sister-in-law, help my brother back to the temple! You haven't chanted the sutras yet today!"

Han's eyes twitched when she heard this, and she was a little upset. She said angrily: "Reciting the sutras again. I have been reciting the Buddhist sutras for half a year. How long do you Wang family want me to finish reciting!"

Wang Gang said disdainfully: "Of course I will recite it until you have redeemed yourself."

Han said frantically: "What crime have I committed? On what basis do you, the Wang family, convict me?"

Wang Gang no longer paid attention to Han, but just signaled his servants with his eyes to take the person back.

When Han was dragged away, she was still shouting and an old maid stuffed a cloth into her mouth.

Li Shouhua had been watching from the side, feeling a little scared.

"I'll tell you about my elder brother and sister-in-law later." Wang Gang sighed and said, "Let's go see mother first." "Okay." Li Shouhua said with lowered head.

Wang Gang took Li Shouhua to Wang Kang's courtyard. The servants had already gone to inform them. Wang Kang was already seated and ready, and had even brought out three large boxes.

Li Shouhua was very respectful when he met Wang Kang and apologized for being late.

Wang Kang advised: "You are newlyweds, and it is a time of great love. I shouldn't say too much, but I still want to remind you not to be too indulgent and take care of your health."

Li Shouhua lowered her head shyly when she heard that. Wang Gang was thick-skinned and didn't say anything.

Wang Kang pointed to the three boxes on the ground and said to Li Shouhua: "From now on, the household accounts will be handed over to you. These are the accounts of the farmland and shops. Take them home and take a good look. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Li Shouhua took one look at the three large boxes and knew that this was the first test given to her by her mother-in-law. Naturally, she did not dare to refuse. Just as she was about to nod and agree, Wang Gang stopped her.

"Mother, you have been in charge of the household accounts. There is no need to hand them over to my wife now. I think you should stay in charge for a while and wait until my wife is familiar with it before taking over!" Wang Gang defended Li Shouhua.

Wang Kang frowned.

Li Shouhua was startled and pulled Wang Gang's sleeve from behind.

Wang Gang was not panicked at all and said, "Mother, my wife heard that you believe in Buddhism, so she specially asked for a Maitreya Buddha from Daxiangguo Temple."

After saying this, Wang Gang clapped his hands, and two servants carried in a Maitreya Buddha carved from fragrant wood.

"This Buddha statue was made by a master and was consecrated personally by the abbot of Xiangguo Temple. Placing it at home can not only protect the house but also ensure peace." Wang Gang said with a smile.

Wang Kang was a little unhappy at first, but the moment he saw the Maitreya Buddha, the corners of his mouth could not help but turn up, and he couldn't suppress it.

This gift really touched her heart.

"Shouhua, did you really order this Buddha statue?" Wang Kang asked.

Li Shouhua was stunned, not knowing whether he should tell the truth.

Wang Gang said first: "Not only is there a Buddha statue, but there is also a copy of the Lotus Sutra that was personally copied by the abbot of Xiangguo Temple."

When Wang Kang saw Wang Gang take out a Buddhist scripture from his arms, she could no longer hold back and stood up.

Wang Gang presented the scripture to Wang Kang with both hands. Wang Kang was so fond of it that she even forgot about setting rules for her new daughter-in-law.

Li Shouhua was a kind-hearted woman, so she knew that everything Wang Gang did was for her own good.

With the Buddhist scriptures in hand, Wang Kang sent Wang Gang and Li Shouhua away directly. The three boxes of account books were placed on the ground without Wang Kang even mentioning them.

Li Shouhua walked out of Wang Kang's courtyard and said to Wang Gang: "Isn't it not good for you to lie to your mother like this?"

Wang Gang raised his eyebrows and said, "Then will you tell your mother the truth?"

Li Shouhua chuckled and said, "I'm not that stupid."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "Do you think your mother didn't see it? She didn't want to embarrass you in the first place, she just went along with it!"

Li Shouhua smiled and said, "I know my mother-in-law is kind and will not make things difficult for her daughter-in-law."

Wang Gang hugged Li Shouhua and said, "If you encounter any difficulties at home in the future, just tell me directly. Since you have married me, I am your heaven and the husband you will rely on in the future."

Li Shouhua felt warm in his heart, and for some reason he suddenly thought of his father who had passed away many years ago.

When her father was alive, Li Shouhua was also like this. She could rely on him without worries. At that time, she felt that her father's shoulders were strong and broad.

Li Shouhua felt the same feeling from Wang Gang, but this time the shoulders were thicker and broader, giving him a greater sense of security! (End of this chapter)
