CHAPTER 623: CHAPTER 253: SYSTEM CALLS ME TO SAVE THE DAY (PART 10)_2

Since that was the case, he decided to kill two birds with one stone, both helping the miserable woman and thoroughly shattering Qiao Zhenbang’s illusions, bringing him back on track with fate.

Student Xiao D:...I suddenly feel very sympathetic towards the male lead, to be disdained by Tiantian like that.

"Health worker Qian, going to buy braised pork for your mother-in-law again!"

"Ah, I must say, our little Qian is really too filial. He can’t even bear to treat himself well, saving all his money and coupons to honor his old mother-in-law!"

Qiao Zhenbang saw a dark, plump woman at the restaurant, carrying a meal box, returning to the health clinic where she worked.

Patients and neighbors around the clinic greeted her when they saw her.

"My mother-in-law is in poor health. She damaged her vital energy giving birth to my husband years ago and now needs to be well-nourished!"

Qian Xiue’s skin was dark, and she was slightly overweight compared to the standard.

Amidst neighbors suffering from malnutrition, she appeared plump.

However, her features were proportionate. Even dark and stout, she did not look ugly but exuded a sense of simplicity and likability.

She was young, about twenty-three or twenty-four.

Her father was an old Master at the town’s slaughterhouse, and her mother worked at the supply and marketing cooperative. Their family was definitely considered well-off in the town.

Though she wasn’t particularly beautiful, she had still found a good-looking man with great ability.

His family was from the countryside, not very rich, but not too poor either; they were an ordinary family.

Her husband, Cao Changsheng, worked at the town’s food factory. After marrying Qian Xiue, he got a company apartment with his in-laws’ assistance.

They had two rooms. Given the tight housing situation then, this was considered spacious.

So, the mother-in-law brought her niece to live with them.

Officially, she claimed she worried that the young couple didn’t know how to manage life and she, as an elder, had come to help out.

In reality, she feared the dominant Qian Family might turn her son into a live-in son-in-law as he relied on his father-in-law every day.

If they had several sons, parents wouldn’t worry about their son being taken away.

But the problem was, Cao Family only had one son, Cao Changsheng.

The elderly Cao couple was still counting on their son to support them in their old age and were not willing to see him ``marry into’’ his wife’s family.

Thus, Mrs. Cao came, and under the pretext of finding a job for her niece, she also brought the daughter of her cousin.

Qian Xiue, though pampered and spoiled at her parent’s home, had a kind and simple nature.

Her mother-in-law deliberately set rules for her. Unaware, she wholeheartedly treated her mother-in-law well.

In her words, "It’s not just for my mother-in-law, but for our family’s Changsheng. No matter what, his parents are his birth parents."

"If I don’t get along with my mother-in-law, the one stuck in the middle suffering will still be my husband."

The best stuff at home was saved for the mother-in-law.

Qian Xiue wanted to show off by doing household chores, but she honestly wasn’t good at it.

Seeing an opportunity, Mrs. Cao let her niece take over the household chores.

Cousin Cao was quite capable, even though she was only seventeen or eighteen, skilled in cooking, cleaning, sewing – everything.

She alone managed everything for Qian Xiue and her husband, as well as Mrs. Cao.

With the help of Cousin Cao, Qian Xiue became even more relaxed.

Even Qian’s parents, who originally had complaints about Mrs. Cao moving in and disturbing their life, felt it was not too bad and allowed Mrs. Cao to stay in town.

Since neither Mr. nor Mrs. Qian objected anymore, the loving and inclusive Qian Xiue treated her mother-in-law even better.

She couldn’t bear to eat braised pork at the restaurant herself but would buy some to bring back to boost her mother-in-law’s nutrition.

The mother-in-law constantly pressured her to have children, giving her various strange and bizarre fertility remedies, all of which Qian Xiue endured.

On the surface, the family seemed harmonious, and their neighbors were all envious.

But in reality, a filthy conspiracy was lurking, one that would lead to the demise of an entire family.

Qiao Zhenbang cautiously followed behind Qian Xiue, keeping his distance.

Watching the slightly robust figure in the distance, Qiao Zhenbang’s mind was filled with her story—

A happy town’s double-income-only-daughter, having a respectable job herself, married to a Phoenix Man from the countryside.

The Phoenix Man, eating soft rice boldly, depended on his father-in-law to establish himself in the town, yet was ungrateful and even betrayed him.

While enjoying the comforts provided by the Qian Family, he allowed his arrogant real mother to torment his wife.

The most shameless part was that this Mr. Cao, right under his wife’s nose, was fooling around with a distant cousin.
