Hu Bayi, who was feeling uneasy, finally relaxed. He had spent a whole day on the black market to buy these dozen fish.

He had eaten with her several times at Shen's house before and noticed that she particularly liked sweet and sour food, so he planned to make sweet and sour fish tomorrow.

She must love to eat.

The Du family's kitchen couldn't accommodate so many people, so they temporarily built a stove in the yard for cooking. Hu Bayi, as the head chef, was busy preparing dishes for tomorrow.

Shen Yunshu was afraid of being exposed, and also afraid that Hu Bayi would do something stupid and ruin tomorrow's wedding, so she didn't go anywhere and just stayed by his side to help in the kitchen.

When the other aunts and sisters who came to help learned that Hu Bayi was invited by Shen Yunshu to cook, they became obviously more enthusiastic towards him.

However, Hu Bayi, who was mute, was busy preparing food and did not respond to everyone's enthusiasm at all.

He used a spoon to scoop a whole big winter melon into small balls, and then soaked the ball-like winter melon in a purple liquid whose name he could not remember.

Although Shen Yunshu didn't understand what he was doing, he knew that Hu Bayi, as a descendant of the imperial chef, was still capable.

Shen Yunshu didn't bother him, and also told the aunts and aunties helping in the kitchen in advance not to disturb him while he was cooking.

Fortunately, the aunts and sisters were all very obedient, so Wan Xinyu could give full play to his abilities.

But the more silent he was, the more worried Shen Yunshu became about his mental state.

When Du Piaoliang heard from her sister-in-law that Shen Yunshu had come home, she went out happily to look for Shen Yunshu.

The moment Shen Yunshu saw Du Piaoliang walking towards her, her heart trembled. She subconsciously glanced at Hu Bayi who was chopping meat, and after seeing his normal face, she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, where Shen Yunshu couldn't see, Hu Bayi, wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, was trembling all over.

"Chen Zhiqing, why don't you go sit inside now that you're here? I'm..." Du Piaoliang was stunned when she saw the man next to Shen Yunshu.

It looks like him, but that face is not his.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Yunshu quickly introduced: "Beautiful, his name is Hu Bayi, he has been cooking for the leaders in the county. I have done him a favor before, and he always wants to repay me, so I asked him to come over to cook today, and my aunt also agreed."

Du Piaoliang immediately dispelled all doubts and said with a smile: "Chen Zhiqing, you are so kind to me. I don't know how to thank you."

"There's no need to be so formal between us. If you really feel bad about it, when you join the army in the future, please go home more often to spend time with my parents."

"Shen Zhiqing, don't worry, Bo Wei and I will definitely help you take good care of Uncle Shen and the others."

When mentioning her sweetheart, Du Piaoliang couldn't help but blush.

Although Hu Bayi was chopping meat, his mind was not on it. When he saw the girl's blushing face, the bitterness in his heart was about to overflow.

It seemed that the man treated her very well, and thinking this way, he felt relieved.

Shen Yunshu smiled and joked: "You little girl, you are not ashamed to talk about your partner all the time. By the way, what about others?"

Du Piaoliang said shyly, "My mother said I can't see anyone for three days before the wedding. He's at my uncle's house."

"There's a lot of smoke here. Don't let it suffocate you. Go back to your room and get some rest. You're going to be a bride tomorrow."

"What about you? Won't you come back to the house and sit with me?"

"I'm going to stay here to help, you should go back."

After Du Piaoliang left, Shen Yunshu lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "See, Piaoliang is very happy, and that man treats her well."

A tear rolled down the corner of Hu Bayi's eye.

"As long as she is happy."

What he couldn't give her in this life, other men gave her. Just like Shen Yunshu said, some people are missed forever.

That night.

Shen Yunshu stayed at Du Piaoliang's house.

When Du Piaoliang thought about getting married tomorrow and becoming someone else's wife, someone else's daughter-in-law, she lay in bed, too nervous to sleep.

Shen Yunshu, with sleepy eyes, looked at Du Piaoliang, who looked like she was full of energy, and advised: "Piaoliang, it's late, we should go to bed. If you don't go to bed, you won't be able to get up tomorrow."

“Shen Zhiqing, I’m nervous and scared.”

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that after marriage, Wang Bowei will treat you badly? Or that your in-laws will treat you badly?" Shen Yunshu turned over and faced Du Piaoliang.

"...I don't know...I'm just nervous..."

"Beautiful, first of all, you are a very good person, so you will meet very good people. After spending some time together, you must know very well how good Captain Wang and the Wang family are to you. They are all kind people."

Although love cannot be measured by money, love life cannot be separated from money. One hundred and eighty-eight yuan plus three turns and a ring are enough to reflect the importance the Wang family attaches to beauty in that era.

“They were all very nice to me.”

"So you don't have to worry. Believe me, your choice will not be wrong. Captain Wang treats you well now and will treat you well in the future."

If it were before, Shen Yunshu would never say such an extremely certain word, because emotions are ever-changing, and a man who is a young man until death can only be honest if he is hung on a tree.

But it’s different now. We have people in the underworld, and the Wang family has been thoroughly investigated inside and out, including Wang Bowei.

Not only that, Shen Yunshu also knew that Du Piaoliang would have three sons and one daughter in the future, but he couldn't tell her this for the time being.

Du Piaoliang's anxious heart gradually relaxed, and it was not until the second half of the night that she fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, just after dawn, Chen Fengying woke Shen Yunshu and Du Piaoliang from their sleep.

Today is the wedding day. Chen Fengying was worried that she would be too busy to take care of her daughter, so she got up early, ate two eggs, cooked a bowl of noodles, brought it to the bed, and watched her daughter eat it.

Shen Yunshu, who was in the same bed, also had a part.

After eating a bowl of hot soup noodles, Shen Yunshu had enough energy to work. Just as she was about to put makeup on Du Piaoliang, she was stopped by Chen Fengying.

"Wait a moment, some people haven't arrived yet."

"Who else?" Shen Yunshu looked around and didn't find anyone missing. The bride was there, and she, the makeup artist and hairstylist, was there too.

"I specially invited Grandma Quanfu to come and comb Piaoliang's hair for good luck."

As a mother, she hopes that her daughter will have a happy future. However, when she thinks that the daughter she raised with her own hands is now going to get married, Chen Fengying feels sad and cries.

In order not to make her daughter sad, Chen Fengying quickly turned her back and hurriedly wiped away her tears.
