Chapter 46 Celebration
"Hahaha……"

Zhang Zhaodi clapped her legs and laughed non-stop.

"Did you see their expressions? What's that saying? It's like a futile effort. They look like they've eaten shit. Haha..."

Su Yaoguang brought some water and asked Zhang Zhaodi to drink some to calm down.

"Mom, we just cried and made a fuss, and now we're laughing. If others heard us, they would think we were crazy."

Zhang Zhaodi took a sip of water and slowly stopped laughing.

"A madman is a madman, there's nothing wrong with being a madman. If they dare to bully us mother and daughter again, I'll tear them apart." Zhang Zhaodi said, looking at Zhou Wangshu with a look of admiration. "Now everyone in the village knows that you are our son-in-law. Wangshu, you and Yaoguang will live a good life in the future and support each other, okay?"

Zhou Wangshu smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother."

"Mom, I'll go get some delicious food so we can celebrate." Su Yaoguang said, "From now on, we're free from that family of blood-sucking mosquitoes and have complete peace and quiet."

Zhang Zhaodi rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll go dig out your father's treasured wine. Let's have a drink today."

Su Yaoguang took Zhou Wangshu to the kitchen to work.

Zhou Wangshu didn't know how to light a fire, but he could learn. He couldn't cook, but he could learn to help her. In Su Yaoguang's eyes, he was well-behaved and obedient, like a docile little puppy.

Zhang Zhaodi was not around, so Su Yaoguang lowered her voice and said, "Thank you for what you did today. Don't worry, my promise to you will not change. You and I are just fake, just to get rid of those difficult and bad relatives. When you want to leave, we can divorce at any time."

"Don't say those words again, or my mother might hear you. You saved me, but you're just using me as a shield, or am I taking advantage of me?" Zhou Wangshu pursed his lips. "I know my origins are unknown, and I was once trafficked by human traffickers. I'm of low status and only fit to be a slave. How could I dare hope that Yaoguang would actually fall in love with me?"

Su Yaoguang: "..."

She was thinking about him and didn't want to force him, so how come it sounded like she disliked him when he said it?
Seeing this pitiful look, she felt a little guilty deep down in her heart.

Tsk tsk, no wonder the madam has her eyes on him, his little look and expression are really quite alluring.

After the food was served, Zhang Zhaodi poured the wine.

Zhang Zhaodi smiled at the two of them and said, "Today is your first day of marriage, so consider it your wedding wine. When Wangshu is a little older, we'll invite the guests and set up a few tables."

"This is Dad's treasured collection. Mom has always been reluctant to drink it. This is the first time it's been opened." Su Yaoguang said to Zhou Wangshu.

"My daughter is getting married, so it's time to open the wine." Zhang Zhaodi raised her hand and said loudly, "Dad, this is for you to try. This is my daughter's wedding wine."

Zhang Zhaodi drank too much.

Su Yaoguang carried Zhang Zhaodi back to the room.

When she came out, Zhou Wangshu was cleaning up the mess on the table.

Su Yaoguang stood in front of the door, looking at Zhou Wangshu's slender and thin figure.

In this life, she is finally not the only one who pays.

Zhou Wangshu turned around and saw her looking at him dazedly. He asked, "Are you drunk too?"

Her eyes were distracted just now. She was clearly looking at him, but it seemed as if she was looking through him at someone else.

"I'm a little drunk, but I can still hold on. You go and rest, I'll clean up here." Su Yaoguang walked over, rolled up his sleeves and was about to work.

"Let me do it!" Zhou Wangshu said, "If you've had enough to drink, go to sleep."

"You're a man, you probably don't know how to do kitchen work."

"Men can't wash dishes? In your eyes, are all men so stupid?" Zhou Wangshu frowned. "Or are the men in your village more stupid?" "Don't scholars believe in the saying 'a gentleman stays away from the kitchen?'" Su Yaoguang said. "I thought all men disliked those chores in the kitchen."

"Those are just excuses for laziness. If kitchen tasks are trivial, then they shouldn't eat or drink. If you're a mortal and need to eat and drink, you have to do it yourself. Even if you have a good family and servants to serve you, you have to pay them. If you don't have them, you have to work yourself."

Su Yaoguang stopped competing with Zhou Wangshu for work. She stood by and watched Zhou Wangshu clumsily wash the dishes.

It was obvious that he had never done this before.

"Wangshu, do you have any family?" Su Yaoguang leaned against the wall and asked casually.

Zhou Wangshu slowed down his washing of dishes and said in a low voice, "My mother is gone, and my father remarried and doesn't want me anymore."

"Then how did you fall into the hands of human traffickers?" Su Yaoguang looked at him with heartache.

"I was kicked out of my home and had to find a way to survive. I went looking for work, but someone drugged me and when I woke up I was a human trafficker's pawn."

"From now on, my mother and I will be your family, and you will be my younger brother." Su Yaoguang patted his shoulder and comforted him.

"Ah."

Su Yaoguang scooped a basin of clean water and washed the bowl that Zhou Wangshu had washed again.

"Let's work together. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can rest. This is my first time drinking alcohol. The aftereffects of this drink are really strong. I'm a little dizzy."

On the second day, Su Yaoguang, her daughter and Zhou Wangshu continued to go up the mountain to collect materials, just to make more rouge and powder.

"Yaoguang, look..." Zhou Wangshu held a bamboo rat and shook it in front of her.

Su Yaoguang gave a thumbs up: "Not bad. I have meat to eat again today."

Zhang Zhaodi looked at Zhou Wangshu and said, "My dear, it's not a good thing for Wangshu to hang around with us all day. Why don't we send him to school?"

Su Yaoguang was stunned for a moment and looked up at Zhou Wangshu.

Do you want to study again?
In my previous life, I raised an ungrateful person. Not only did I work myself to death, but he also ended up like that.

However, Zhou Wangshu was not Xiao Yanci. She couldn't hold Zhou Wangshu hostage just because she had suffered a loss at the hands of Xiao Yanci, denying him a chance to soar to the sky.

Moreover, she had no romantic feelings for Zhou Wangshu. She treated him as a younger brother, and from the beginning, she had made their relationship clear. Zhou Wangshu had no complaints about her, so naturally, he wouldn't be as ungrateful as Xiao Yanci.

Perhaps the young man she raised this time can grow up to be a man of great stature.

"Wangshu..." Su Yaoguang walked over with a shovel, "Why don't you go study?"

Zhou Wangshu was surprised: "Why?"

"I see you're well-spoken, so you must have studied before. My mother and I can handle this small business at home, and you should have your own life." Su Yaoguang said, "If you think it's a good idea, we can go to the academy tomorrow to discuss the tuition with the teacher."

Zhou Wangshu lowered his eyes and slowly dug the flower in front of him.

The flower is growing well, and he plans to transplant it to the yard so that he can grow more flowers.

What Su Yaoguang said brought back many dark memories in his mind.

He had a great vengeance and needed power. Since he was going to stay here, perhaps the scientific expedition was a shortcut to power.

Anyway, he had changed his name and surname and was registered in the Su family, so he could enter the academy and take the imperial examination openly.
