Chapter Ninety-Nine: Why Did He Change His Face?
The next morning, Shen Yuzhu woke up after nine o'clock. She rubbed her forehead and sat down, immediately hissing. Her back was so sore that she couldn't straighten up at all. She had to pull Zhou Congsheng's pillow over to support her lower back.
Last night, Zhou Congsheng was like an insatiable wolf, constantly tormenting her, and now she feels completely weak.
She took out the bottle of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage, poured some into warm water, and drank it. She finally felt a bit stronger. She put on her clothes and looked around outside, but couldn't find anyone.
She quickly locked the door, went straight into the space, and took a nice bath.
Just as I came out, there was a knock on the door.
"Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu, are you awake?"
"Hey, keep your voice down. Maybe the child is getting up for a drink of water and has fallen asleep again. That damn Zhou Congsheng, how can he treat his wife so poorly, constantly tormenting her? You have no idea, Lao Zhou, this morning when I went to check on Zhuzhu, she was... mmm mmm..."
"Shh, keep your voice down, aren't you ashamed? Cough cough cough... Hurry up and go to the kitchen to check on the tonic soup you're making, don't let it boil dry."
"Yes, yes, yes, oh my, hehehe... I didn't expect my son to be so amazing. I wonder if Zhuzhu is already pregnant."
Zhou Daoming: "..."
Shen Yuzhu: "......."
You've said both good and bad things!
But what about the child?
Shen Yuzhu touched her belly. She didn't know if she had a child, but Zhou Congsheng was indeed quite capable.
When she took a shower, she looked at herself in the mirror and was shocked. Her whole body was covered in bruises. Anyone who didn't know better would think she had been beaten up!
After applying something to her face, she opened the door and went out. Zhou Daoming was writing something in the living room. When he saw her come out, he exclaimed "Oh!" and quickly poured her a glass of water.
"Awake, Zhuzhu? You were sleeping... cough cough. Are you hungry? Your mom left you breakfast. Wait here, Dad will bring it to you." Zhou Daoming didn't wait for Shen Yuzhu to speak before quickly walking out, slapping his own mouth as he went.
Why are you asking? You're so nosy. Your daughter-in-law has such severe dark circles under her eyes, how can she sleep well?
Thinking back to how she had just spoken up for her son, she now felt an urge to beat him up. He didn't know how to take care of his wife at all and wasn't a good husband. It seemed he hadn't grasped the essence of the husbandly principles she had discussed with him last time.
We still need to have a good talk with him when he gets back.
In the kitchen, Chu Lian knew that Shen Yuzhu had woken up, so she quickly put breakfast on a tea tray so that Zhou Daoming could take it over.
"Eat less, it's getting late, lunch is coming soon, okay!"
"Okay, okay, the chicken soup is a bit too mushy. You didn't see it, but Zhuzhu has really dark circles under her eyes. Oh dear, it looks like you've been in meetings for days... just like you've been performing three surgeries in a row."
Chu Lian's face immediately darkened. She grabbed a rolling pin and was about to leave when she remembered that Zhou Congsheng had driven Shen Yuming and the others back to the village.
"Wait until he comes back, wait until he comes back and see how I deal with him."
Shen Yuzhu took a sip of water and saw Zhou Daoming carrying a tea tray over. She quickly put down her cup and took the tray from him.
"Thank you, Dad. You've worked hard."
Oh my, my daughter-in-law always speaks so much better than my brat. I always wanted a daughter, but I never got one. Now that I have a daughter-in-law, it's the same.
"Eat up, eat up, but don't eat too much. Your mom made you some nourishing soup, drink plenty of it later. If you're tired, take a good nap after dinner. Anyway, there's nothing much going on at home, okay!"
"Okay, Dad, I'm not very hungry. I'll go to the kitchen to help Mom in a bit."
"No need, no need, you just need to rest. Your mom doesn't like anyone being around when she cooks, so I was kicked out. You can eat yours."
Shen Yuzhu ate her food in small bites, not for any other reason than she had just realized while drinking water that she had bitten her lip. It was so embarrassing; Zhou Congsheng was truly a dog.
Unaware of the situation, Zhou Congsheng happily took Shen Yuming and the others to Xiangyang Village, returning home close to noon. He even bought some food that Shen Yuzhu, a resident of the state-run restaurant, liked.
Unexpectedly, when he got home, he saw a family of three looking at him with strange expressions.
"Wh...what's wrong?"
"Where have you been? Why are you back so late? Didn't we agree that you'd go early and come back early for lunch?"
As Chu Lian spoke, she grabbed a towel and vigorously flung it at Zhou Congsheng, asking, "Why is there so much dust? Where did it all go?"
Zhou Congsheng was slapped hard twice on the back. Although he didn't know why, he could clearly feel that his mother was angry.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat. Come here, Dad poured you a glass of water, drink it quickly."
Zhou Congsheng glanced at Chu Lian and, seeing that she was no longer targeting him, felt relieved. When he walked into the living room, he secretly flirted with Shen Yuzhu, his mind entirely on his wife.
He picked up the water on the table and started drinking, then exclaimed "Ouch, ouch, ouch!" a few times, realizing it was too hot, and quickly put the cup back on the table.
"Dad, what kind of water did you pour? It's so hot!"
"Is it that hot? Oh dear, I'm so sorry, son, I didn't notice. Okay, you sit down, I'll go get some rice for your mom."
After Zhou Daoming left, Shen Yuzhu burst out laughing.
Zhou Congsheng was confused. His parents had always doted on him and had never treated him like this before, especially by subtly disciplining him without explaining the situation. This was unprecedented.
"What's wrong, honey? What are you laughing at?"
"What do you think? Why did your parents scold you?"
Zhou Congsheng shook his head. He was fine this morning, looking incredibly proud. How come his expression changed so much in just over two hours?
Shen Yuzhu raised her hand and pinched his ear. "Then think about it carefully. Your parents are like this because you went too far. Look at me, all over me... You heartless bastard, you're practically bullying me to death!"
Before she could finish speaking, her face turned bright red with embarrassment.
Zhou Congsheng raised an eyebrow and turned his head to see the dark circles under Shen Yuzhu's eyes, and a few faint red marks on her neck.
"Hehehe, wasn't it you who... wouldn't let me stop? Cough cough cough... I'll pay attention next time, I'll pay attention next time, okay? Honey, you have to put in a good word for me later. I can see that in my parents' hearts, you are much more important than me."
"loquacious."
The two had only been married a short time when sparks flew between them at first glance, and ambiguity began to entangle them.
Just as the two were getting closer, Chu Lian and Zhou Daoming arrived. Hearing the footsteps, the two quickly and hurriedly turned their faces away, pretending that nothing had happened.
