Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 329 - : The Future Parents-in-law Are Coming
Chapter 329 -329: The Future Parents-in-law Are Coming
Xi Wanfen grew more and more upset the more she thought about it.
She had already cooked the meal, her back aching from the fatigue, and she too had to work; why wouldn’t Liang Zhanbai share the burden with her?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, but she didn’t want to say anything.
After stewing in it for a while, Liang Zhanbai, who was playing on his phone on the couch, looked up and seeing her sitting alone, asked, “Xiao Fen, what’s wrong? Do you want to join me in the game?”
“The dishes haven’t been washed yet,” Xi Wanfen said, peeved.
Liang Zhanbai glanced at the leftover food and dishes on the table and frowned.
He had never done these chores.
“How about… I wear gloves to clean up?” Liang Zhanbai suggested.
Xi Wanfen was already feeling aggrieved, “Someone has to do it even with gloves on. Don’t you think you should help out?”
“I… okay.” Liang Zhanbai put down his phone and came to help clean up.
Xi Wanfen was no longer angry right then; she thought to herself with delight: Liang Zhanbai does know how to work after all. Who says boys with several sisters are lacking?
But before she could enjoy the feeling for a few seconds, she heard a “bang” as Liang Zhanbai dropped a dish, which he hadn’t held onto firmly.
There were still leftovers in that dish, and now even the floor was dirty.
He reluctantly began to clean it up; first, he tried using some paper towels, but they were no use—they tore as soon as they touched the oily residue.
Then he grabbed a mop, but as he mopped, places that weren’t oily before now were, and moreover, he didn’t even know where to mop to.
Xi Wanfen couldn’t help but get angry again: “First, sweep it up with a broom, then mop the floor clean!”
Liang Zhanbai fetched a broom and swept up the leftovers, then he intended to put the broom back on the balcony. Xi Wanfen couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t you going to wash the broom? If you don’t, it will stink by tomorrow!”
Liang Zhanbai was also getting impatient; his friends had called to ask why he wasn’t online yet, they were all waiting for him.
Xi Wanfen burst out irately, “Never mind, I’ll do it myself!”
Liang Zhanbai was now in a tight spot, unable to play the game or be of help and had no choice but to stand by and watch.
Xi Wanfen finally managed to mop the floor, wash the dishes, and tidy up the kitchen. Exhausted, she begrudgingly went back to her room.
Liang Zhanbai followed her, wrapping his arms around her waist, “Xiao Fen, don’t be mad, I was wrong.”
“How were you wrong?”
“I don’t know how to do the housework.”
“Do you think I knew how? I learned it all by myself, and you can’t even sweep the floor.”
Liang Zhanbai said, “How about this, when I have time I will learn it slowly. Until then, let’s not cook anymore. We both work and are very busy. If we’re at the hospital, we can just eat in the cafeteria. If we’re at home, we can order takeout or dine out, okay?”
Xi Wanfen asked, “What about when we have kids? Children can’t just eat takeout.”
“By that time, I will surely have learned how to cook,” Liang Zhanbai held her in his embrace.
Xi Wanfen thought about it and realized it was true – these days, young people don’t cook for themselves anymore; either they order takeout or eat out. She’s really making it harder for herself.
…
Liang Zhanbai hadn’t learned how to cook yet when his parents suddenly called to say they were coming to see him and wanted to visit Yun City as well.
Liang Zhanbai was somewhat reluctant; after all, he had just started renting a place not long ago, and his relationship with Xi Wanfen was at its sweetest phase.
But they were his parents, after all, and considering the good weather and the peak of the tourist season, it was hard to say no.
Moreover, when Liang Zhanbai plans to buy a house in the future, he will need to take money from his parents.
Liang Zhanbai discussed this matter with Xi Wanfen, who was also somewhat reluctant. They hadn’t even planned on getting married yet, and here they were about to live with his parents, which felt quite awkward.
“So… how long are they going to stay?” Xi Wanfen asked.
“It shouldn’t be too long, maybe just a week or two at most,” Liang Zhanbai said.

“But we only have two rooms here, and they’re not very big. How about I go back to my place while your parents are staying?” Xi Wanfen suggested.
“But I’ve already told my parents that I’m living with you. If they ask and find out you’re not here, they might think you’re avoiding them, unwilling to meet them,” he said.
Xi Wanfen had no choice but to say, “Alright then, I’ll try my best to make a good impression.”
Liang Zhanbai hugged her tightly, “My parents probably just want to see if I’m doing well. As long as they see I’m happy here in Yun City, they’ll leave content and then we can go back to living our life as a couple.”
“Yeah, you’re right. I’ll strive to be a good daughter-in-law,” Xi Wanfen said.
…
Mr. and Mrs. Liang said they would come, and it seemed they were not asking for Liang Zhanbai’s opinion, but merely informing him.
They arrived in Yun City on the third day.
Liang Zhanbai, along with Xi Wanfen, drove to the airport to pick them up.
When Xi Wanfen got to the airport, she did not get out of the car and waited outside instead.
As a result, after Mr. and Mrs. Liang got into the car, they began to scold her: “Why didn’t Xiao Fen come into the airport to wait?”
Before Xi Wanfen could answer, Liang Zhanbai had already replied for her: “Didn’t I just mention it? It’s too crowded inside, I thought it would be best for me to go in and pick you up alone.”
“But we have a lot of luggage,” Mr. Liang said.
“It’s not like I can’t carry it.” Liang Zhanbai was quite protective of Xi Wanfen.
Xi Wanfen realized that Mr. and Mrs. Liang must be blaming her for not waiting inside the airport.
It was Liang Zhanbai who had said there was no need, to wait outside was fine, since she had worked the late shift the night before, not getting off work until 11 p.m., and he wanted her to get more sleep in the car.
Feeling scolded, Xi Wanfen was somewhat upset. They weren’t even married yet, and here they were finding fault with her. What would it be like if they really got married? Constantly being scolded?
Luckily, Mr. and Mrs. Liang did not continue on the topic and the group returned to the apartment by car.
Upon entering and seeing the mere 60-something square-meter house, Mr. Liang asked, “Why didn’t you rent a bigger place? Is this tiny space even enough to live in?”
“It’s enough, usually it’s just Xiao Fen and me,” Liang Zhanbai answered.
His mother asked, “So how long are you planning to rent?”
“We’ve signed a one-year lease for now, and we’ll see after that,” he responded.
Liang Zhanbai didn’t plan on buying a house anytime soon; he also didn’t have any savings because his parents had told him that if he wanted to purchase a house in Yun City, they would help with the down payment, and he would only need to take care of the mortgage.
Liang Zhanbai had housing provident fund, so paying the mortgage wasn’t a significant pressure for him.
After Mr. and Mrs. Liang arrived, Xi Wanfen also felt the apartment was too small, especially the little couch in the living room that could only fit three people. Now that his family of three sat down, there was no place for her to sit.
She had no choice but to sit on a small stool, grateful that she had insisted on finding this cute little stool.
Mr. Liang said, “I’m thirsty, do you have any water at home?”
Xi Wanfen quickly got up, “Yes, I’ll pour some for you.”
It’s basic courtesy to offer water to guests when they visit.
