Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 330 - : Marriage and Love are Different
Chapter 330 -330: Marriage and Love are Different
Mr. Liang and Mrs. Liang had some water, and then looked towards the kitchen.
Mr. Liang said, “Sitting in the car for so long, I’m really hungry. Who’s going to cook later?”
“Dad, Mom, let’s go out to eat later. I’ll take you to try the specialties of Yun City,” Liang Zhanbai warmly suggested.
Xi Wanfen was also introducing the local cuisine.
Mrs. Liang had no objections, but Mr. Liang was unwilling: “What specialties or not, isn’t it all just food? Just being full is enough. It’s simpler to make something at home, let’s not waste money going out.”
Mrs. Liang dared not speak.
But the question was, who would do the cooking?
Liang Zhanbai said, “We didn’t buy groceries today, so I’m afraid we can’t cook.”
Mr. Liang asked, “Isn’t there a supermarket or market nearby? Go buy some things and just whip something up. I saw many supermarkets nearby when I just arrived.”
Liang Zhanbai responded, “Even if we buy them, we don’t know how to cook. If it turns out not tasty, wouldn’t that be hard on your stomach?”
Mr. Liang glanced at Xi Wanfen: “You don’t know how to cook, but doesn’t your family have anyone who can?”
Xi Wanfen: “…”
Liang Zhanbai said, “We’re usually busy with work and mostly eat takeout.”
Mrs. Liang hurriedly said, “Let’s not talk about it anymore, I’ll go cook. I’ll go buy groceries now.”
Mr. Liang actually sighed, as if he had been mistreated coming here.
Xi Wanfen didn’t make a sound throughout, but her heart was filled with grievances.
Liang Zhanbai took his mother to buy groceries, leaving Xi Wanfen and Mr. Liang at home.
She wasn’t comfortable staying in the living room with a middle-aged man, so she went back to her room alone.
About half an hour later, Liang Zhanbai and Mrs. Liang came back. Liang Zhanbai entered the room and saw Xi Wanfen sitting alone looking at her phone; he couldn’t help but walk over and ask, “Dear, what are you doing?”
“Nothing much.”
Liang Zhanbai could see she was not happy. He also felt troubled, but since it involved his parents, he hugged Xi Wanfen briefly, then suggested, “How about sitting outside in the living room? Otherwise, my dad will be unhappy seeing you hiding in the room.”
Xi Wanfen was reluctant, but she didn’t want to make it hard for Liang Zhanbai, so she went out.
As a result, she saw Mr. Liang lounging on the sofa, looking at his phone, monopolizing the entire couch and showing no sign of moving over.
If Xi Wanfen wanted to sit, her only option was a stool.
Mrs. Liang was busy in the kitchen, asking at one moment, “Is there a peeler?”
And then, “Do you have the Divine Artifact for shredding potatoes?”
Liang Zhanbai naturally didn’t know; he hadn’t had a chance to learn cooking yet.
Xi Wanfen had to go to the kitchen to help; she had bought those things, but hadn’t used them much.
Seeing Xi Wanfen enter the kitchen, Mrs. Liang began instructing while cooking, “These potato shreds, after you peel them, you must soak them in water to wash off the starch. Eggplants need to be marinated in salt…”
It was almost as if she was trying to pass down her cooking mantle to Xi Wanfen.
Xi Wanfen couldn’t hold back and said, “Let Zhanbai learn. Zhanbai has been saying he wants to learn cooking lately, to cook for me in the future.”
Mrs. Liang’s expression darkened and she said, “Then you can leave.”
Xi Wanfen was also very unhappy. They hadn’t even formally married yet, and it was already like this, who knows what it would be like after they were married.
Seeing the situation, Liang Zhanbai knew Xi Wanfen was quite unhappy and joked at the side, “Mom, your cooking is the most delicious. I don’t want to eat what Xi Wanfen cooks. I want to eat what you make, and would be happy if I could eat it for my whole life.”
Mrs. Liang said, “I’m getting old, and I can’t do everything for you forever. Someone has to take over my responsibilities, or who will do it when the time comes?”

Xiao Fen didn’t speak anymore and silently went back to her room.
Later, when the meal was ready, Liang Zhanbai came in to call her.
“Xiao Fen, it’s time to eat.”
Xi Wanfen said, “I’m not really hungry.”
Although she was in her own rented house, going out to eat now felt like taking advantage of someone else, making her feel like she was living off others.
Liang Zhanbai went to embrace her: “Come on, my mom’s cooking is really tasty, didn’t you say you loved it before?”
Xi Wanfen did not want to put on airs here, so she went out.
Mr. Liang still hadn’t moved; Mrs. Liang’s cooking was done, waiting for someone to help serve the rice and dishes.
Liang Zhanbai and Xiao Fen together served the rice and also invited Mr. Liang to come eat.
Everyone sat down and only then did Mr. Liang come over, and then everyone started to eat.
Mrs. Liang kept serving Liang Zhanbai: “Your favorite eggplant, eat more, look at you, you’ve lost so much weight since you started working.”
Then Mrs. Liang began to talk about their family matters, how cute the child of the eldest sister is, what the brother-in-law of the second sister did, and also Liang Zhanbai’s childhood stories.
Xi Wanfen did not chime in from the beginning to the end.
Because she was quietly eating, she ended up being the fastest one to finish; they were still chatting.
She then put down her chopsticks and told them, “Enjoy your meal,” then went back to her room.
Once back in her room, she felt aggrieved and thus turned to Su Meixi.
Su Meixi was in the hospital recently and was free at the moment; she picked up her phone and saw a message from Xiao Fen.
[Sister Su, I’ve realized I don’t like Zhan Bai’s parents. What should I do? I can’t imagine what married life would be like now.]
Su Meixi asked: [What happened?]
Xiao Fen: [It’s not like anything specific happened, but in general, they want me to be a virtuous wife, taking care of Zhan Bai, doing laundry and cooking for him and such.]
Su Meixi: [From a traditional perspective, that indeed is the standard expectation for a daughter-in-law, everyone wants to bring this kind of wife into their family.]
Xiao Fen: [If everything is depending on me, then that’s too much pressure.]
Su Meixi: [The key is that you and Zhan Bai have to be united. If you really don’t want to do it, you can hire a maid in the future.]
Xiao Fen: [Alas, I’m afraid we can’t afford it. My salary isn’t high, and Zhan Bai hasn’t bought a house yet; if we need to pay off a mortgage in the future, the pressure will be immense.]
Su Meixi: [Then you still need to ask your parents for their opinion, see what they have to say.]
Xiao Fen: [Previously, they told me to decide for myself, let me cohabit with Zhan Bai for a while, not to get pregnant or marry, and if it feels right, then consider marriage. Sigh, there was a time when I wouldn’t marry anyone but Zhan Bai, but now I feel aggrieved.]
Su Meixi: [Listening to your parents is always right; in this world, only your parents genuinely have your best interests at heart. You can’t ignore their advice. Also, love and marriage are completely different things; don’t make a mistake in a moment of folly.]
In matters of marriage, Su Meixi has always been clear-headed. When she initially found out that Gu Wei was from a wealthy family, she chose to back off.
Later, when Qiu Yurou approached her, she immediately agreed to marry.
If it weren’t for the several life-and-death ordeals she went through with Gu Wei afterward, they would have broken up long ago.
It’s just uncertain whether Xiao Fen and her partner can withstand the test, too.
