Chapter 26
After Wu Aixia and Shen Shun finished talking, they ran to the front.
She entered the compound, and before she reached her door, she heard her mother's loud voice.
"Ye Fuyun! Our Wu family treats you so well, and we never worry about food or clothes for you. But you actually took a pound of brown sugar back to your parents' home without telling me! You thief from your mother-in-law's family, do you want to empty our Wu family and support your parents' home?" Zhou Jinmei stood at the kitchen door and cursed at Ye Fuyun.
Ye Fuyun was preparing dinner in the kitchen when Zhou Jinmei suddenly ran back and started scolding her, leaving her stunned.
She didn't understand how Zhou Jinmei knew about her secretly buying brown sugar to bring back to her parents' home. She and Wu Longfei had clearly agreed that no one should mention this matter in front of Zhou Jinmei!
"Mom, I didn't give any subsidies to my parents, so I felt it wouldn't be nice to go back empty-handed, so... so..." Ye Fuyun knew he was wrong, so he said the rest of the words.
"Humph, it's not good to return empty-handed. Then what did your parents ask you to bring back?" Zhou Jinmei said coldly, "When Long Fei married you, he gave you fifty yuan as a betrothal gift, but you didn't even bring a dowry. When you returned, you brought back a pound of brown sugar without telling me, and your parents still didn't ask you to bring anything back. You know exactly what kind of people your parents are, yet you still rush to curry favor with them by using our Wu family's things. What a thief you are if not your in-laws' family!"
"Mom, I know I was wrong. I will never do this again next time." Ye Fuyun lowered his head and admitted his mistake humbly.
"Oh, that sentence again." Zhou Jinmei scratched her ears impatiently. "Count it in your mind, how many times have you said that? But did you change your ways the next time? You're doing it again!"
Zhou Jinmei poked Ye Fuyun's forehead hard with her finger.
Being poked, Ye Fuyun did not dare to hide, and could only continue to humbly admit his mistake: "Mom, I really know I was wrong this time, and I will never do this again next time."
"Where did you get the money to buy brown sugar? Did you hide some private money behind Long Fei and me?" Zhou Jinmei asked.
"I didn't hide any private money." Ye Fuyun immediately denied it.
"Then where do you get the money to buy brown sugar?" Zhou Jinmei didn't believe a word of it and asked doubtfully.
Ye Fuyun hesitated until she saw Wu Longfei and Wu Aixia appear at the door at the same time.
Wu Longfei came back later, because Wu Aixia stood at the door and listened for a while, so the two of them met.
Seeing Wu Longfei, Ye Fuyun's expression became even more pitiful. She asked for help: "Longfei, Mom asked me where I got the money to buy brown sugar."
Wu Longfei originally didn't know why his mother was scolding Ye Fuyun again. When he heard Ye Fuyun's words, Wu Longfei's face suddenly became panicked.
He originally wanted to pretend that he didn't hear Ye Fuyun's words and slip into the room.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Ye Fuyun became anxious and said quickly: "Long Fei, tell Mom that you gave me the money to buy brown sugar."
Wu Longfei paused, and Zhou Jinmei's expression also froze.
Then, she angrily said, "Did Long Fei give you the money to buy brown sugar?!"
"Mom..." Wu Longfei quickly explained, "I had no choice. Fuyun told me it wouldn't be good to go back empty-handed, so I gave her money to buy brown sugar."
"I……"
Ye Fuyun was about to explain something when Zhou Jinmei slapped her in the face.
"You troublemaker! If I don't give you money, you ask my son for it! You are really capable. You have led my son astray!" Zhou Jinmei cursed and slapped Ye Fuyun again.
Ye Fuyun's eyes were filled with tears, and he sobbed repeatedly, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again, I really won't dare to do it again."
Wu Aixia watched all this with a cold eye, only thinking that her mother's beating was good. If Ye Fuyun was not taught a lesson now, she was afraid that all the things in their Wu family would be taken away by Ye Fuyun to subsidize her mother's family.
Wu Longfei didn't want to intervene at first, but when he saw Ye Fuyun's face flushed red, he said, "Mom, stop hitting her. We were wrong this time. Fuyun will remember this lesson."
"Don't worry about it. I'm going to teach her a lesson today!" Zhou Jinmei was still angry.
She felt that whether Ye Fuyun had hidden his private money to buy brown sugar or instigated Wu Longfei to buy brown sugar, he was guilty of a heinous crime and must be taught a lesson.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Wu Longfei became annoyed and hid in his room.
Many families in the compound could hear Ye Fuyun's crying and Zhou Jinmei's cursing clearly.
Ye Fuyue was sitting on a chair in her room and could hear it even more clearly.
She had a sneer on her face.
She remembered that in the original book, Zhou Jinmei hadn't been so reckless in her disdain for the original owner, given her truly humble and people-pleasing personality. Outside of home, Zhou Jinmei would still defend the original owner's dignity, at most scolding her behind closed doors.
Perhaps, this made the reborn Ye Fuyun think that Zhou Jinmei was still a good mother-in-law.
Now that he has fallen into the fire pit, Ye Fuyun should know who he is facing.
However, this was just the beginning. When Ye Fuyun couldn't get pregnant, it was the real hell.
"What are you thinking about? You look so serious." Chen Yao stood behind Ye Fuyue without knowing when, and placed his hands gently on her shoulders.
Ye Fuyue came back to her senses, tilted her head and smiled at him: "I'm not thinking anything."
"Don't take to heart what those aunts said just now. There are so many people in the compound and they just like to gossip and bully others." Shen Yao said.
"I know. It's like this wherever there are a lot of people. I won't let myself be bullied." Ye Fuyue said.
Hearing his wife say this, Shen Yao felt relieved.
He pulled Ye Fuyue into his arms and said in a low voice, "There's something I'm curious about. What do you think?"
"What's up?"
"How many children do you plan to have?"
Ye Fuyue was stunned.
Why does the topic change so quickly?
Seeing Ye Fuyue's small face and the big question mark, Shen Yao knew that she had probably forgotten her bold words during the day.
He helped her recall: "You told your parents this morning that you would raise several children with me in the future. How many do you plan to have?"
Ye Fuyue suddenly realized that it was because of this sentence!
But those were all her excuses for not wanting Shen Yao to help Ye Yu find a job. Shen Yao remembered them too clearly!
Ye Fuyue didn't know how to answer, so she could only throw the question back: "That depends on how capable you are."
That night, Ye Fuyue regretted saying this.
In certain things, it is better not to provoke a man's self-esteem.
In the end, Ye Fuyue almost begged for mercy: "Chen Yao, I think the question of how many children to have depends not only on you, but also on me. Look at my skinny body. Giving birth to one will kill me. If I give birth to more than one, I will die."
So, don't work so hard, okay.
Shen Yao's voice was hoarse and blocked her plea for mercy: "Sir, let's talk about it later."
