[Northeastern tough mom + billion-dollar tycoon family + a houseful of unruly kids + comforting food + cold CEO pursues his wife]
Zhao Cuilan jumped into an ice hole to save someone. When she opened her eyes, she had transmigrated into the newlywed bride of a billion-dollar tycoon family!
On their first day of marriage, her husband, Qin Yuechuan, made himself perfectly clear: "This marriage is just a transaction. Don't expect anything from me."
Her mother-in-law thought she was uncultured, her relatives laughed at her for climbing the social ladder, and even her husband was waiting for her to give up and leave.
Zhao Cuilan just laughed.
So what if she'd married a rich man? What, were they going to stop feeding her?
But she soon discovered that the craziest thing about this wealthy family wasn't that the spouses were at odds. It was that not one of the kids in the house dared to eat properly!
The eight-year-old genius heir watched everyone's expressions as he ate. The seven-year-old little tyrant would rather gnaw on crackers than ask for food when hungry. The five-year-old girl swallowed hungrily but didn't dare reach for her chopsticks. And one six-year-old boy hadn't spoken a single word of his own in half a month.
Zhao Cuilan was furious. "You can't even manage your own life, so why take your temper out on the kids?"
With a spatula in one hand and the kids protected by the other, she served up crispy pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and pickled-cabbage dumplings in turn. Anyone who bullied the kids got an earful, and anyone who looked down on her got to see just how formidable a Northeastern auntie could be!
Gradually, the kids clamored for her attention, Grandpa started showing up at every mealtime, and even her mother-in-law secretly learned to pickle cabbage.
The only one acting strange was the cold CEO who had said their marriage was just a deal.
Watching the kids monopolize all his wife's time, Qin Yuechuan finally couldn't hold back. "Zhao Cuilan, I'm your legal husband!"
Without even looking up, Zhao Cuilan replied, "What, are you jealous of the kids too?"
