Chapter 152: You Didn’t Tell Your Family About Such a Big Matter

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jin Nian wore an innocent expression.

After getting their marriage certificate, there was no need to be reserved about anything anymore.

Actually, if she were to have a child, Jin Nian wouldn’t be opposed to it. She had always loved kids, and she used to even wish for a pair of twins.

In the eyes of everyone, Jin Nian seemed to lack ambition. While modern independent women aimed for success and to travel far, she stayed by her parent’s side, wanting to start a family and have a cozy reunion.

However, Jin Nian was just an ordinary girl. She had witnessed her parent’s love, and even with her not being the brightest, the family had been happy.

Even after finishing an entire grapefruit, Jin Nian’s stomach still felt empty. She exclaimed, “Dad, when will the food be ready? Your daughter is about to starve!”

Old Jin, busy in the kitchen, didn’t hear her. He had gone out to buy groceries when Jin Nian came home without a word.

Her daughter had grown up, and it was not easy for her to come home. Naturally, he wanted to make some dishes that suited his daughter’s appetite.

Jin Nian couldn’t wait and headed to the kitchen to find Old Jin. While helping him choose vegetables, she sneakily nibbled on some food from the already-prepared dishes.

For dinner, Jin Nian ate two large bowls, feeling her stomach full.

Teacher Tan was annoyed, saying, “Even if it’s delicious, you shouldn’t overeat like this. Look at you, someone might mistake you for being pregnant.”

Jin Nian wiped her mouth and said, “Dad’s cooking is just too fragrant! When Lu An comes back tomorrow, I’ll bring him over to eat too!”

Old Jin scoffed at her flattery. “My cooking is fragrant, but I don’t see you coming home often to eat.”

“It’s not appropriate to come home often.”

Old Jin and Teacher Tan stared at her, puzzled. “How is it inappropriate to come back to your parent’s house?”

“I’ve formed a new family with Lu An now. Is it right for me to keep coming back to my parent’s house to freeload when I have nothing to do?” Jin Nian let out a long burp.

Teacher Tan and Old Jin were taken aback. “What… What did you say?”

Formed a new family?

Parents’ house?

Jin Nian was oblivious and didn’t realize how serious this was. She had always thought that Teacher Tan and Old Jin had already figured out about her registering the marriage with Lu An.

However, looking at their expressions, something felt off.

“No… I didn’t say anything.” Jin Nian tried to run.

Teacher Tan wouldn’t let her escape and grabbed her hand, saying, “Explain yourself. How did you form a new family?”

“Mom, you must have heard it wrong…”

Old Jin couldn’t defend her anymore. “Niannian, have you and Lu An registered your marriage? How could you keep such a big thing from your parents?”

“Didn’t you already know?” Jin Nian retorted quietly.

“What did we know?” Teacher Tan roared. “Did you tell us anything?”

Jin Nian was so scared that her body trembled.

Teacher Tan pointed a finger at Jin Nian. “Jin Nian, if you don’t clarify things today, don’t even think about leaving this house!”

As she spoke, Teacher Tan went and locked the door.

Jin Nian couldn’t fathom where she had gone wrong. She had always thought that Teacher Tan and Old Jin had already known about her registering the marriage with Lu An.

She had no choice but to sit on the sofa obediently and explain every detail of the situation to her parents.

As Teacher Tan listened, her expression grew darker. Unable to contain herself, she raised her hand to slap Jin Nian. Jin Nian instinctively dodged, causing the slap to land on her face.

Now Teacher Tan was truly angry, not even trying to apologize for the miss. “Jin Nian, 1 think you’ve grown up! Marriage is such a big thing, but you actually hid it from your family and secretly went to get your marriage certificate! Since you’re so capable, you don’t have to come back to this house anymore! From now on, pretend that you don’t have a mother like me!”

Teacher Tan had never spoken to her with such severity before. Jin Nian was so scared that tears started flowing. Even when she had broken off her engagement in front of all her aunts and uncles, Teacher Tan hadn’t been this furious. This showed how truly upset she was.

Old Jin still cared for his daughter. He stepped forward to console Teacher Tan. “The child isn’t young anymore. Can’t we have a proper conversation? Don’t hit her.”

Teacher Tan angrily pointed at Old Jin’s nose and scolded, “You’re just spoiling her! Look at what she’s become because of your indulgence!”

“Things have come to this point.. Can you force the children to divorce? Besides, haven’t you always liked Lu An? Why are you so angry now?”
