Chapter 222
"Chen Yao——" Ye Fuyue shouted happily and trotted over.
Shen Yao was waiting outside the foreign-related hotel holding his bicycle. When he saw Ye Fuyue, a smile spread across his handsome face.
"Why did you come to pick me up? Did you come to give me a surprise?" Ye Fuyue said with a smile.
"Today is the last day of the Bamboo Fair. You have worked hard these three days. I wanted to pick you up and take you to a state-owned restaurant for dinner as a reward for you." Shen Yao said.
"OK!"
Ever since she had her children, Ye Fuyue hadn't eaten at a state-owned restaurant in a long time. Even if she had to go out for something, she was always thinking about her two children. She would go home after finishing her business and would not stay out for long.
It was then that Ye Fuyue realized why so many mothers say they have no time for themselves after having a baby. On the one hand, they are tied down by their child and can't leave him or her. On the other hand, they are obsessed with their child and can't bear to leave for too long.
"Do you want to call mom, big brother, and Chen Shun together, and let's go to the state-owned restaurant to eat?" Ye Fuyue asked.
She was sure to make a lot of money this time, so she was willing to spend a little money to treat everyone to a meal at a state-owned restaurant. What's more, Chen Guifeng had spent so much energy helping her take care of the children and helped her share a lot of the burden, so she didn't mind taking Chen Guifeng to the state-owned restaurant with her.
However, Shen Yao was silent for half a second: "Let's just go and eat, and pack some food for them."
Ye Fuyue looked at Shen Yao suspiciously: "Are you hiding something from me?"
"I do have something to tell you. But let's talk about it after we finish our meal." Shen Yao said.
Ye Fuyue was very curious about Shen Yao's words.
Since Chen Yao said to wait until after dinner, it means that what Chen Yao wants to say to her is probably not a good thing. If he says it now, it may affect their mood for dinner.
Therefore, no matter how curious Ye Fuyue was, she held back.
"Okay, let's talk about it after dinner."
They went to a state-owned restaurant and didn't order any special dishes, just two plates of dumplings stuffed with pork and green onions.
It's not for anything else, but the food at home is pretty good. When I came to the state-owned restaurant and smelled the delicious dumplings, I suddenly wanted to eat dumplings.
There were so many people lining up to buy dumplings. Ye Fuyue was afraid that they would finish eating and there would be no more dumplings, so she asked Chen Yao to queue up and buy five servings. They would eat two and take the other three home to give to Chen Guifeng and the others to try.
Shen Yao waited in line for nearly twenty minutes before returning with five servings of dumplings.
Ye Fuyue smelled the fragrant dumplings in front of her, swallowed her saliva, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
"So delicious!" Ye Fuyue sighed as she ate, "This chef's cooking skills are truly extraordinary. They're even better than the dumplings my mom makes."
Shen Yao smiled: "You didn't say that in front of Mom. You said in front of Mom that Mom's dumplings are the most delicious."
Ye Fuyue didn't feel ashamed at all, and said as a matter of course: "I'm just sweet-talking. Comparing my cooking skills with the chefs at state-owned restaurants, isn't that bullying me?"
Shen Yao smiled like water: "Well, you make sense."
After eating almost half of her meal, Ye Fuyue couldn't help but ask Chen Yao: "What do you want to tell me?"
Chen Yao knew that if he didn't say anything, the dumplings in front of Ye Fuyue would probably not taste good anymore.
He said, "This afternoon, Big Brother received a letter from Zhu Zhiqing. In the letter, Zhu Zhiqing said..."
Shen Yao lowered his voice and continued, "She said she's pregnant and will come to see Big Brother in a few days. Big Brother should have told Mom about this by now. Mom must be angry."
Ye Fuyue was not too surprised, but was thinking: It's finally here.
She asked, "She's pregnant? With my eldest brother's child?"
Shen Yao looked at her in confusion: "What else? Do you think she might not be pregnant with eldest brother's child?"
"How would I know that?" Ye Fuyue said, "After all, Big Brother didn't come back one night."
"Yeah." Shen Yao nodded. He also knew about this, so he didn't doubt Zhu Qiaoting's pregnancy at all.
"Does Zhu Zhiqing plan to come here and let big brother take responsibility and marry him?" Ye Fuyue asked.
"My elder brother didn't tell me this, but this should be what Zhu Zhiqing meant." Shen Yao said.
Ye Fuyue didn't say anything more.
After all, we are outside now and there are a lot of people around us, so some things are not easy to discuss in detail here.
But this did not affect Ye Fuyue's ability to finish the whole plate of dumplings.
After eating and drinking, Ye Fuyue and Shen Yao returned to the slum.
As soon as they got home, they both noticed that the atmosphere in the house was not right and looked at each other.
The light was on in the kitchen and the smell of cooking could be smelled.
Ye Fuyue thought it was Chen Guifeng in the kitchen, and wondered if Chen Guifeng was so angry that she was cooking now.
However, when she looked over, she saw that it was Shen Shun who was cooking in the kitchen.
Shen Shun heard the noise and looked towards the kitchen door. Seeing Ye Fuyue and Shen Yao, Shen Shun's face fell in grievance.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, Mom and eldest brother had a fight again. Mom was so angry that she didn't even cook. She went to your room to check on Haohao and Ranran."
Shen Yao and Ye Fuyue looked at each other.
It seems that Shen Kang told Chen Guifeng about Zhu Qiaoting's pregnancy.
"Where is big brother?" Shen Yao asked.
"Brother is in his own room." Shen Shun said.
"It's okay if Mom is so angry that she doesn't cook, but what right does he have to stay in the room and not cook?" Shen Yao said, and handed the aluminum lunch box in his hand to Shen Shun: "Don't cook, here are dumplings, just packed back from the state-owned restaurant."
Shen Shun’s eyes lit up with joy: “I knew that you, second brother, loved me the most!”
Ye Fuyue said to Shen Yao, "Give big brother his share of dumplings. I'll go to our room to see mom."
Shen Yao nodded.
The door of Ye Fuyue and their room was ajar.
When Ye Fuyue pushed the door open, Chen Guifeng was sitting on the edge of the bed with her back to the door, looking at Haohao and Ranran in the rocking bed.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Chen Guifeng hurriedly wiped her tears and turned her head to look at the door.
Seeing that it was Ye Fuyue, Chen Guifeng forced a smile and said, "You're back. Where's Chen Yao?"
"I'm going to find my big brother."
Ye Fuyue looked at Chen Guifeng's slightly red and swollen eyes and knew that she must have cried just now.
She handed the dumplings she brought back to Chen Guifeng: "Shen Yao and I ate at the state-owned restaurant. These are the dumplings I brought for you."
Chen Guifeng sighed: "I can't eat. I'm not in the mood to eat."
She added, “Did Shen Yao tell you about my elder brother’s matter?”
"Yeah. He said Zhu Zhiqing wrote a letter to Big Brother, saying she was pregnant and would be coming over in a few days."
"What you fear is what will come true." Chen Guifeng sighed and said, "When I first knew that Chen Kang had not come back all night, I was most afraid of this. I didn't expect that Zhu Zhiqing was really pregnant. There is something I can't tell Shen Kang, so I can only tell you. I think Zhu Zhiqing deliberately let Chen Kang drink, deliberately had sex with Shen Kang... deliberately let herself get pregnant! She was afraid that if time dragged on, Chen Kang would not marry her, and she would not be able to leave that damn place. That's why she thought of using that method to rely on Chen Kang!"
