Chapter 8: Little Cub, Take It
After hearing this, everyone's impression of Grandma Qin was greatly reduced. She had made such a fuss in the morning, and everyone thought she was just worried about the child.
But when they all left and Yu Hui was sent to the hospital, she looted all the milk powder, pork and eggs in the house.
Was she missing her grandson, coming to see him, or was she here to raid?
Her daughter kicked Captain Gu out as soon as she got into university, and she even went to her remarried son-in-law's house and took things from him. She really has a shameless side.
When Qian Lan returned home, her mouth was dry, and she also gave the milk powder coupons to Yu Hui.
Yu Hui had just finished taking a shower and was wearing the original owner's white sleeveless blue floral jacket.
Qian Lan gave her the milk powder coupon, told her who gave it to her and told her it was free, then she hurried home to drink some water.
Yu Hui looked at the milk powder coupon in her hand. Having inherited the original owner's memory, she also knew the importance of the milk powder coupon. The owner was kind enough to take care of the children of the soldiers below and gave the coupon to her for free.
She really couldn't be ungrateful, so she had to find a way to give some thanks to the other person.
At this time, the three dirty monkeys came back.
"I've boiled some water. You three can take a bath today." Yu Hui couldn't stand the dirty children, so while Beibei was asleep, she boiled some water for herself to take a bath, and then boiled another pot for her third brother's child.
Gu Dong and Gu Nanle finally disagreed with their stepmother and said they would not wash it.
Gu Xi stood behind his two brothers without saying a word, and didn't really want to take a bath.
"If you don't want to wash it, I won't make scallion pancakes for you tomorrow morning." Having taken care of so many brothers and sisters in the orphanage, she knew very well how to handle human cubs.
"Is the scallion pancake delicious?" Gu Xi asked. He was the most enthusiastic about food.
"Of course it's delicious. The outside is fried until golden on both sides. When you take a bite, it's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a full mouthful of scallion aroma. It's so delicious." Yu Hui said while pretending to enjoy eating scallion pancakes, and the three children were drooling when they heard it.
"Brother, brother, I want to eat scallion pancakes..." Gu Xi said softly to his two brothers.
Gu Dong and Gu Nan wanted to eat it too, but they didn't want to show that they had compromised with their stepmother for the scallion pancakes. They glared at their brother and said, "I did all this for you."
Yu Hui helped the three children fetch water. The large wooden tub in the bathroom was big enough for the three of them to sit and wash.
"Do you want me to help you wash?" Yu Hui asked the three children before leaving the bathroom.
"We don't need you, we can wash it ourselves, just get out." Gu Dong blushed and chased her away, he didn't want his stepmother to help him wash it.
Yu Hui was not annoyed, but just said: "Help your brother a little."
After saying that, she went out. When she returned to the bedroom, she saw Beibei woke up. There was a foul smell in the air, and she knew that the child had defecated.
The baby didn't cry even though he had poop. When he saw his stepmother coming in, he laughed out loud with a few smiles on his face.
Yu Hui changed Beibei's diaper and washed his butt very skillfully.
Hearing the child calling "Grandma", she heated up the leftover porridge and fed her some.
While I was playing with her, the three children came out of the bath.
When Gu Dong saw his sister, he remembered that he had not checked whether his sister was abused by his stepmother after returning.
With wet hair, he lifted up his trouser legs and clothes to take a look.
Beibei thought his brother was playing with him and laughed out loud.
"So what? Did I abuse your sister while you were away?" Yu Hui had a hint of sarcasm on her face.
Gu Dong snorted coldly, "You don't have the best."
"Mom, can I make scallion pancakes tomorrow morning?" Gu Xi walked up to his stepmother with a wet head and asked.
Yu Hui frowned when she saw the water on his head, took a towel, sat on the chair, pulled Gu Xi in front of her, and clamped him with her legs to prevent him from moving.
"You have to dry your hair after taking a shower, otherwise you will catch a cold."
Gu Xi looked at his stepmother who was wiping his hair with a smile. He felt that there was a sweet and warm smell on his stepmother, which made him want to lean on her arms.
After wiping Gu Xi, Yu Hui pushed him away and pointed at Gu Dong, "Come here."
Gu Dong turned his head and said, "I don't want you to wipe it."
"Why, do you want to catch a cold and get sick, and then tell others that I, your stepmother, abuse you?"
Gu Dong: “…”
Beibei was already abused by his stepmother, so why did he feel guilty and embarrassed when he heard her say that?
Yu Hui stretched out her hand, pulled the person over, and held him down to dry his hair.
After drying his hair, Gu Dong was still a little unconvinced and glared at his stepmother angrily.
Although Gu Nan didn't want his stepmother to wipe his hair, he also didn't want to catch a cold, so he obediently let his stepmother help him wipe his hair.
It was getting late, so Yu Hui asked the three children to go back to the east wing to sleep.
Beibei just woke up, but didn't go back to sleep so quickly. She played with the child for a while, coaxed the child, and then hugged the child and fell asleep.
Yu Hui was awakened by the sound of a horn. She opened her eyes and looked at her child who was sleeping soundly beside her, sucking his thumb. For a moment, she forgot where she was.
It took me a while to realize that my soul had traveled through time and space and that I was now the stepmother of three children.
Seeing that it was still dark outside, she closed her eyes and decided to sleep for a while, but she suddenly opened her eyes the next moment.
She wanted to buy meat and eggs today. Nowadays, if you want to buy meat, you won’t be able to buy it if you go too late.
She yawned and got out of bed, checking to see if Beibei had urinated.
Good, the child didn’t pee.
Yu Hui first put on her clothes and went to wash up. After washing up, she put the money and tickets in her pocket, took the net bag, and went to the east wing with the child in her arms.
When I opened the door, I saw three children sleeping in a mess on a big bed.
Yu Hui put Beibei next to Gu Dong. Just as she was about to wake him up, Gu Dong opened his eyes in a daze.
"Look after my sister. I'm going to buy groceries."
"Yeah." Gu Dong responded in a daze, and closed his eyes again as his stepmother left.
Relying on the original owner's memory, Yu Hui walked towards the grocery store outside the compound.
There were many fellow travelers along the way. When someone recognized her, they would glance at her with contempt, then quicken their pace and move away from her.
Yu Hui didn't care. She walked all the way to the grocery store and lined up in front of the pork counter.
"Is this the one from Captain Gu's house?"
"Yes."
"Tsk, I really didn't see that. She looked like an honest and decent country girl, but I didn't expect her to have such a vicious heart."
"That's right, you still have the nerve to go out..."
The two women at the back of the line were whispering about Yu Hui at the front, their faces full of contempt.
"What, what..." The people in front and behind heard it and joined in the discussion.
"What kind of meat do you want?" It was finally Yu Hui's turn.
Yu Hui looked at the meat on the chopping board and said, "I want half a pound of tenderloin, two and a half pounds of pork belly, and two pounds of pork belly."
After saying that, she took out the meat ticket from her pocket.
The lady selling pork stared at her with wide eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unable to live like this?" Why did she buy so much meat at once?
Yu Hui smiled and said, "I didn't buy much meat in the first half of the month, so I still have plenty of meat coupons at home."
After hearing this, the aunt said nothing more and skillfully cut and weighed the meat for her.
Those who were talking about Yu Hui, seeing that she bought so much meat, said that she was trying to make up for her bad behavior as a stepmother because everyone knew about it yesterday.
