Jiang Su nodded, "I overheard my grandfather saying that. Shh, don't tell anyone. I only mentioned it to you because you're his daughter-in-law."

Gu Nuannuan nodded, "Don't worry, I won't talk about such important matters outside."

The two leaned in and whispered to each other, while the man behind them stood in the scorching sun with his hands in his pockets, watching them.

"...Um, Gu Nuannuan, don't tell my family about the three times you knocked me down."

"Don't worry, I'll spare you the embarrassment. Plus, if I tell your family, your mom might kill me."

Gu Nuannuan patted Jiang Su's shoulder, "I didn't expect it. Your uncle turned out to be Jiang Chenyu. I only knew you were a second-generation official, not a second-generation wealthy."

"You haven't told me why you married my uncle yet."

"That's a good question. I also want to know why I ended up marrying your uncle."

Only Jiang Lao knew the real reason behind this absurd marriage.

But he kept it to himself.

A small black house in the backyard caught Gu Nuannuan's interest, "Hey, look, that little black house. Have you been inside?"

"I have, that house was specially set up for me by my little uncle."

Gu Nuannuan: "...So, did you draw those lines on the wall?"

"Are you saying you've been inside?"

Both of them were surprised.

"Yeah."

"Yeah."

They suddenly felt a strong sense of camaraderie upon seeing each other, as if they were seeing a comrade-in-arms. Gu Nuannuan and Jiang Su shook hands, "We share the good times and the bad."

"Oh, by the way, Gu Nuannuan, as a new bride just entering the family, why were you in there?" Jiang Su was curious.

Usually, he would be thrown in there when he committed unforgivable mistakes. How could a new bride like Gu Nuannuan be punished like that?

"You don't know, I've had countless arguments with your mom and even fought with her."

"Jie, thank you for going easy on my mom."

"No need to thank me. But I didn't expect she was your mom. I'm moving out this afternoon, so I won't quarrel with your mom anymore."

"Why did you quarrel with my mom? I know my mom's personality well, she cares a lot about her reputation and wouldn't quarrel with you."

"It's a long story. I only figured out the root cause last night."

Jiang Su looked at his little uncle standing in the sun and couldn't believe it. He rubbed his eyes, took a closer look, and confirmed that it was indeed his little uncle. "Gu Nuannuan, why is my uncle standing in the sun watching us?"

Gu Nuannuan turned around, raised her hand to her forehead, squinted at her husband, and said, "Probably sunbathing for vitamin D."

"That makes sense."

Jiang Chenyu couldn't bear to watch anymore. He reached into his pocket and approached the two.

Seeing Jiang Chenyu approaching with a stern expression, even though it was a hot summer day, both of them felt a chill.

They stood obediently, as if they were new recruits waiting for their instructor's reprimand.

Jiang Chenyu walked up to them, his face dark, and asked sternly, "You haven't had enough sun overseas, so you have to come out and sunbathe when you're back home?"
