Chapter 149
Standing outside the courtyard gate was Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan held the clothes he was mending in his hands and smiled at Ye Fuyue, "Fuyue, I'm visiting your home. I hope I didn't disturb you."
Since Ye Fuyue had been staying at home most of the time, people would occasionally come to visit her, but it wasn't often. Only Zhong Lan and Wu Zhenzhen had come once or twice. This was Zhao Yuan's first time.
Ye Fuyue was tired of reading and wanted to take a break, so she let Zhao Yuan into the house.
"No, come in."
"Okay." Zhao Yuan came in happily.
Upon seeing Ye Fuyue's yard, Zhao Yuan looked around in surprise. "Your yard is so big and well-maintained. As expected of Section Chief Shen, the house he was assigned must be the best. Unlike our house, we don't even have many rooms, let alone a yard."
Zhao Yuan ran into the main room and counted the rooms: "Oh my god, you have four rooms!"
"Yes." Ye Fuyue asked her, "Do you want some water?"
"No, you don't have to be so polite. I was just bored at home, so I came over to chat with you." Zhao Yuan finished speaking, and continued with emotion: "Your house is really big and wonderful. It's so spacious to live in, and you don't have to worry about having more people."
"Are these two rooms where you and Shen Yao live?" Zhao Yuan asked, pointing to the two rooms with closed doors.
"No, it belongs to Shen Shun and Brother Shen." Ye Fuyue said.
"Brother Shen...is that Shen Kang who went to the countryside?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"right."
"There's even a room reserved for him." Zhao Yuan was extremely envious.
"This was his room before he went to the countryside. After he went, my mother-in-law kept it for him."
Zhao Yuan became more and more envious. Thinking about how her family's rooms were not enough, and then looking at the Shen family, even Shen Kang, who had been working in the countryside for several years, had his own room. It was really incomparable.
"What about these two rooms?" Zhao Yuan pointed at the open door of one of the rooms and asked, "Is this one yours and Shen Yao's?"
"Yes." Ye Fuyue nodded.
"It's so spacious!" Zhao Yuan walked into the room and looked around. "It's almost twice as big as the room my husband and I live in."
Zhao Yuan didn't stay long. He left the house after expressing his feelings.
But after she left the room, Ye Fuyue still closed the doors of her and Chen Guifeng's rooms.
Zhao Yuan also noticed Ye Fuyue's action, but she did not show any emotion and sat down casually on a chair in the yard.
Ye Fuyue also sat down on the chair next to her.
"Fu Yue, this is my first time visiting your house. I feel curious and looked at you a few more times. Please don't be surprised!" Zhao Yuan said to Ye Fu Yue while mending clothes.
Ye Fuyue smiled: "Yeah."
"I heard from people in the yard that your mother-in-law and your husband don't let you do anything. Then what do you do at home every day?" Zhao Yuan asked curiously.
"I don't do much, just read a book, write, draw pictures, daydream, and pick vegetables."
"I really envy you. You are so lucky. When I was pregnant, my mother-in-law and my husband didn't feel sorry for me at all. The work that should have been done by me was still waiting for me to do. You are the happiest among the three pregnant people in our compound." Zhao Yuan said.
"Besides me and Zhong Lan, who else in our compound is pregnant?" Ye Fuyue asked curiously.
Zhao Yuanyuan said gossipingly, "You don't know yet, Aunt Liang's new daughter-in-law Cui Li is also pregnant."
Ye Fuyue was extremely surprised: "So fast?"
"That's right." Zhao Yuan said, "Maybe it's because she's young. She's only been married for a few months, but she's already pregnant. Aunt Liang is so happy."
"Although she is happy, she won't feel sorry for her daughter-in-law just because she is pregnant." Ye Fuyue said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Yes, Aunt Liang," Zhao Yuan shook his head and didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone knew what he meant.
"However, Cui Li is not Cui Yongfang. She is a powerful character. Aunt Liang may not be as comfortable as before." Zhao Yuan said.
"Is Cui Li very powerful?" Ye Fuyue asked.
On the day Cui Li married into the Liang family, Ye Fuyue had seen her from afar once or twice. She looked like a simple farm girl, but she didn't see anything remarkable about her.
"You may not know this, but I go to chat with Cui Li from time to time. I know more about her than you do. She is not as weak and easy to bully as she looks." Zhao Yuan said.
When Zhao Yuanzheng was sharing Cui Li's affairs with Ye Fuyue, Aunt Liang was very angry with Cui Li.
Aunt Liang asked Cui Li to fetch a few buckets of well water and put them into the water tank in the kitchen, but Cui Li refused.
"Mom, I'm pregnant now, how can I do such heavy work? When Liang Nan comes back later, ask him to do it."
"You don't want to wash your clothes, saying that the water is cold and you're afraid it's bad for the baby in your belly. Now I ask you to fetch water, but you don't go, and you want your man to go too. Just because you're pregnant, you're thinking like you're going to die!" Aunt Liang scolded.
"I won't go anyway. I would be heartbroken if I lost the baby in my belly." Cui Li said.
"Are you going or not? If you don't go, believe it or not, I will beat you to death!" Aunt Liang threatened, holding a carrying pole in one hand.
"Go ahead and hit me! If you're not afraid that the baby in my belly will die, that Liang Nan will blame you, and that I will tell everyone about it, then go ahead and hit me!" Cui Li thrust out her belly towards Aunt Liang, looking like she wasn't afraid at all.
Aunt Liang didn't dare to hit her. After all, the baby Cui Li was carrying was from the Liang family. If she really wanted to hit Cui Li, she would have to wait until she gave birth first.
"You--" Aunt Liang was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She didn't expect that Cui Li looked so quiet and gentle before she got married, but became so unyielding after she got married.
Huan Di crawled out of the house crying.
Seeing this, Cui Li rushed over and picked her up: "How did you crawl out by yourself! The ground is so cold, look at your little hands, they are cold too."
Huan Di was still crying, and while crying, he leaned against Cui Li's chest.
Cui Li knew that she was hungry.
Cui Li put her back in the rocking bed and said, "I'll go make you some milk tea. Wait for me."
Aunt Liang started scolding Cui Li again as she entered the kitchen.
"You told me to fetch water but you refused. Instead, you're taking care of a money-losing girl like her! Why bother with her? She'll stop crying when she's had enough. If you have the time, you might as well go fetch water!"
"Mom, if you have time to scold me here, why don't you go fetch some water yourself? If you can't fetch two buckets, one should be fine, right?" Cui Li prepared rice porridge skillfully while arguing with Aunt Liang.
"You are rebelling against the heavens! You ask me to do everything, what are you doing?! My family married you, not for the whole family to serve you!" Aunt Liang said angrily.
"How have you all served me? I made breakfast and cleaned the house. I just didn't want to wash clothes with cold water or fetch water. I do just as much work as usual," said Cui Li.
"Isn't it your duty to work?" Aunt Liang yelled.
Cui Li ignored her. She would never go to fetch water anyway.
She knew how Liang Nan's previous wife died. Zhao Yuan had told her about it.
