Chapter 174
"You are quite skilled." Ye Fuyue smiled at her.
Zhu Qiaoting smiled shyly and said, "When my eldest sister gave birth, I went to take care of her during the confinement period. I'm good at things like changing diapers and coaxing children."
After a pause, she added, "I'll go wash the diapers."
"You don't have to wash it. Just leave it here. My man will wash it when he comes back." Ye Fuyue said hurriedly.
"Well, I'm just sitting here doing nothing, so I might as well find something to do and make myself more comfortable." Zhu Qiaoting took the changed diapers out to wash them without waiting for Ye Fuyue to object.
After washing the diapers, Zhu Qiaoting came in and helped Ye Fuyue coax the child to sleep.
Ye Fuyue discovered that Zhu Qiaoting was really good at coaxing children. It seemed that she had done similar work often before.
After coaxing the child, Zhu Qiaoting had to clean the main room and the yard.
"Just sit down. Someone will clean the house. You don't have to worry." Ye Fuyue said hurriedly.
But Zhu Qiaoting wouldn't listen to her and continued, "I'm just sitting around doing nothing here anyway, so I might as well find something to do and make myself feel at ease." Then, ignoring Ye Fuyue's objections, she took a broom and started sweeping the yard.
Ye Fuyue really didn't want to go out and get blown by the wind anymore. She also knew that Zhu Qiaoting was so active just to show off to Chen Guifeng, so she just let her be.
After cleaning the yard and the main room, Zhu Qiaoting was so hot that beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"I see there are some dishes in the kitchen. I'll go make lunch." Zhu Qiaoting ran in and informed Ye Fuyue, then without waiting for Ye Fuyue to say anything, she ran to the kitchen.
Ye Fuyue: "..."
When Chen Guifeng and Shen Kang came back, they saw Zhu Qiaoting busy in the kitchen.
When Zhu Qiaoting saw them, she smiled and greeted them: "You're back. You can eat soon."
When Chen Guifeng saw that it was Zhu Qiaoling in the kitchen, her face immediately turned pale: "Why are you in my kitchen?"
Zhu Qiaoting smiled awkwardly and said, "I saw there were still some dishes in the kitchen. I was worried that you wouldn't have anything to eat when you got back at noon, so I thought of helping to cook them."
Seeing that Chen Guifeng was about to say something, Shen Kang hurriedly said, "Mom, Qiao Ting often cooks in the countryside. Her cooking skills are pretty good. You can try her cooking skills."
Chen Guifeng glared at Chen Kang and went into the house angrily.
Zhu Qiaoting looked at Chen Guifeng and said to Shen Kang at a loss, "Did I make your mother angry again?"
"It's okay, she'll be fine in a while." After comforting Zhu Qiaoting, Shen Kang leaned over and asked, "What did you cook?"
"Spicy and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and stir-fried tofu."
"It smells so good. I'm a little hungry." Shen Kang sniffed the fragrance and said.
Zhu Qiaoting was comforted by his appearance and said with a smile, "It will be ready to eat soon."
She asked, "Did you have a good morning?"
"It went smoothly. All the formalities are completed. I will officially start work tomorrow."
"That's great." Zhu Qiaoting grinned, but her smile was filled with complicated emotions.
"I already told my mom about marrying you last night. I'll talk to her again later."
"Yeah!" Zhu Qiaoting smiled and nodded heavily.
Chen Guifeng went to Ye Fuyue's room to check on her condition and her two grandsons.
She asked Ye Fuyue: "When did she come?"
Needless to say, everyone knows who this "she" refers to.
Ye Fuyue told Chen Guifeng everything that happened in the morning, including the fact that Zhu Qiaoting rushed to wash diapers and clean the yard and the main room.
Chen Guifeng's face looked unhappy, but she didn't say anything in front of Ye Fuyue.
At noon, at the lunch table, Ye Fuyue still drove Chen Yao to the table to eat with everyone.
"Mom, the hot and sour potato shreds made by Qiao Ting are especially delicious. You should try it." Chen Kang picked up a piece of hot and sour potato shreds with chopsticks and was about to put it in Chen Guifeng's bowl.
Chen Guifeng picked up the bowl and stopped him from putting it down.
"I can pick it up myself." Chen Guifeng said coldly.
Chen Kang had no choice but to pick up the piece of spicy and sour potato shreds with chopsticks and put it back into his own bowl.
Chen Guifeng said to Zhu Qiaoting, "Next time you come to my house, don't do any work. There are people doing the housework. You, a guest, don't need to do it."
"I..." Zhu Qiaoting was about to bring out that excuse again, but Chen Guifeng interrupted her directly.
"If you feel uncomfortable staying here doing nothing, then just leave. Anyway, my house doesn't need a guest to work."
Zhu Qiaoting's face flushed and she lowered her eyes.
"Mom..." Chen Kang wanted to say a few words for Zhu Qiaoting, but Chen Guifeng interrupted him as usual.
"Now that you have finished your work today, you have to work hard, earn money and save it. Only when you have money can you consider other things. You two have no money and still want to get married. What can you use to get married? After you get married, do you want others to support you? How can you do such a shameless thing?" Chen Guifeng said to Shen Kang, but she was actually saying this to Zhu Qiaoting as well.
After saying that, Chen Guifeng put down her chopsticks without even looking at anyone.
"I'm full. Chen Yao, you come and clean up the dishes and the kitchen later. Don't let the guests do it again, otherwise it will get out and people will say that our family has no manners at all."
"Okay." Shen Yao glanced at Shen Kang and nodded in agreement.
Chen Guifeng got up and went back to her room, locking the door.
On the table, Chen Guifeng's bowl of rice had not been touched at all.
After dinner, Shen Yao cleaned up the dishes and the kitchen. Zhu Qiaoting wanted to help, but Shen Yao directly refused.
"Zhu Zhiqing, I'll do it myself. I don't need your help." He then said to Shen Kang, "Brother, why don't you take Zhu Zhiqing out?"
Shen Kang had no choice but to take Zhu Qiaoting away: “You let Shen Yao clean up by himself, and we will go out for a walk.”
"Yeah." Zhu Qiaoting bit her lip and nodded.
When they got outside the compound, Zhu Qiaoting finally spoke up: "Your mother still doesn't agree with our marriage."
"Yeah." Shen Kang was also having a headache about this.
Just now at the dinner table, his mother's attitude was very clear. His mother didn't even give him a chance to mention his marriage to Zhu Qiaoting.
"Your mother seems to hate me more and more." Zhu Qiaoting's eyes were red with grievance.
"Nothing." Chen Kang held Zhu Qiaoting's shoulders with both hands and asked her to look at him: "My mother just doesn't know how good you are. When she knows, she will definitely like you very much."
"But today is already the second day, and I will be back in two days. What if your mother still doesn't agree to our marriage..." Zhu Qiaoting was nervous and annoyed.
Once she returned to the countryside, she felt there were too many variables.
"I'll try my best to convince my mother." Shen Kang promised again.
Zhu Qiaoting had no other options. She had thought that if she was more proactive, diligent, and sweet-talking, Chen Guifeng would like her. But that wasn't the case. Instead, her actions made Chen Guifeng dislike her even more.
She didn't know what to do and could only wait for Shen Kang.
