Chapter 39
Shen Yao picked up a piece of fried pork with peppers for Ye Fuyue and said softly, "Eat more. You cook it very well."
Ye Fuyue smiled at him, knowing that Chen Yao was supporting her in disguise.
While eating, Ye Fuyue talked about her visit to the furniture factory today.
"...Finally, I plan to make one set of furniture first. I've already paid the deposit. I'll make the rest of the furniture later if I want to."
"Now that you have drawn it, let's make it. I've already said that I will pay for the furniture." Chen Guifeng said.
She had saved the money for her eldest and second sons' weddings by living frugally a long time ago.
Now, her eldest son is in the countryside, and it's not known when he'll be able to return to the city to get married. The money she's saved is just enough for her second son's wedding. She can save more for her eldest son and Shen Shun's wedding.
"Mom, I have already discussed the furniture issue with Shen Yao. We will pay for it ourselves." Ye Fuyue said.
"Yes, Mom, Fu Yue and I have discussed it, so don't worry about it." Chen Yao also said.
Seeing that both of them were so insistent, Chen Guifeng stopped talking.
Although my second daughter-in-law consumes a lot of oil when cooking, she is indeed a nice person.
"By the way, where is Yu Tong's home? I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables today. Her colleague said she was not feeling well and did not come to work. It happened that I have nothing to do, so I will go see her in the afternoon." Ye Fuyue said.
"I'll take you there on my bike when I go to the factory this afternoon," Shen Yao said.
"good."
Chen Guifeng said, "I'll give you some money later. Buy something for Yu Tong. Chen Yao was able to marry you thanks to Yu Tong. She's not feeling well, so it wouldn't be good for us to go empty-handed."
"Okay." Ye Fuyue nodded.
As they were eating and talking, the food on the table was almost gone.
Although Chen Guifeng always felt sorry for Ye Fuyue's excessive use of oil when cooking, she had to admit that even though this dish had too much oil in it, it was still delicious and went well with rice.
I saw that the fried pork with chili peppers was almost gone, with only a few slices of meat left.
Chen Guifeng and Shen Yao deliberately avoided eating the fried pork with chili peppers.
Shen Shun, who was eating his rice furiously, looked up and saw that there were only a few slices of fried pork with peppers left. He subconsciously stretched out his chopsticks quickly.
Just as he was about to pick up the meat, he noticed Ye Fuyue sitting opposite him and eating politely.
Ever since Ye Fuyue had a fight with the Wu family in the slum last time, Shen Shun's opinion of Ye Fuyue has changed a lot.
Only then did he realize he'd been deceived by Wu Aixia the entire time. She'd been lying to him about how Wu Longfei didn't want Ye Fuyue anymore, and that's why she went looking for his second brother. She'd been lying about how Ye Fuyue couldn't forget Wu Longfei. The way Ye Fuyue treated Wu Longfei that day was so disdainful that even a little boy like him felt ashamed for him. How thick-skinned must one be to think Ye Fuyue, even after getting married, still clung to him?
Especially when Ye Fuyue said in public that she only liked Chen Yao, even Chen Shun felt relieved and moved for his second brother when he heard it, and he was thinking in his heart: If his future daughter-in-law could confess to him in public like his second sister-in-law, how proud he would be!
Later, Chen Shun discovered that the dishes cooked by Ye Fuyue were particularly to his liking. He could eat an extra bowl of rice every time, and Chen Shun had a better impression of Ye Fuyue.
It is really a blessing for his second brother to marry such a woman who loves him and cooks deliciously.
At this moment, Shen Shun retracted the chopsticks that were about to pick up the stir-fried pork with peppers, deliberately put on a stern face, and said to Ye Fuyue: "You eat the rest of the stir-fried pork with peppers."
Ye Fuyue was stunned and looked at him in confusion. Even Chen Guifeng and Shen Yao looked at him, not understanding what he was doing.
Shen Shun became more and more embarrassed, and his face became more serious.
He urged impatiently: "Eat quickly! Don't waste it."
Ye Fuyue asked him, "Don't you want to eat?"
Shen Shun picked up a piece of tofu and said while eating rice: “I’ve eaten enough and don’t want to eat anymore.”
Ye Fuyue blinked.
This idiot couldn't have specially left the last few pieces of meat for her to eat, but was too proud to admit it.
Not only did she think so, but Chen Guifeng and Shen Yao also thought so.
Ye Fuyue, Shen Yao, and Chen Guifeng exchanged a glance, smirked, and took the last few pieces of meat away, saying, "Then I'll eat them all."
Shen Shun said nothing, but secretly observed whether Ye Fuyue really ate it.
Seeing that Ye Fuyue really ate the last few pieces of meat, Shen Shun was satisfied.
Chen Guifeng felt relieved when she saw this: Chen Shun had grown up and learned to be polite.
After lunch and cleaning up, everyone went back to their rooms for a nap. When it was almost time, everyone left.
Chen Guifeng returned to the factory first, followed by Shen Yao. However, Shen Yao first took Ye Fuyue to Yu Tong's house on his bicycle.
Shen Shun was the last one to leave.
After a hearty lunch and a long nap, Shen Shun felt incredibly comfortable. It would have been even more comfortable if he didn't have to go to school.
Shen Shun locked the door and walked out listlessly.
Wu Aixia saw him and sneered, "Did your family have meat for lunch again today? Stir-fried pork with chili peppers? You look so listless even after eating meat. Could it be that your sister-in-law didn't give you any and kept it all for herself?"
Ye Fuyue made stir-fried pork with chili peppers for lunch, and the smell was so pungent and overpowering that the neighbors could smell it and were ravenous. Several families ate it with their own bland vegetables, enjoying the smell.
Ever since the last incident, Shen Shun and Wu Aixia hadn't interacted with each other. In fact, Shen Shun even started to dislike Wu Aixia, thinking that she was as gossipy as Zhou Jinmei and liked to talk nonsense. There was no one in the Wu family that he liked.
“My sister-in-law is not like your sister-in-law. Since she is willing to cook meat, why would she be reluctant to give it to me?” Shen Shun said.
Wu Aixia sneered: "Now you have become your sister-in-law's lackey, just to make her give you a few more pieces of meat to eat?"
Shen Shun was angered by Wu Aixia's words. He said, "At least my family has meat to eat, but your family only comes to my house to beg. If you can't get it, you think my sister-in-law is still thinking about your brother. Don't you see how your brother can compare to my second brother? My sister-in-law is beautiful and has good eyes, but she only likes my second brother!"
When Chen Shun reminded her of what happened that day, Wu Aixia's face turned pale and blue.
She said angrily, "Your sister-in-law loves eating meat so much, she'll eat your family into poverty sooner or later!"
Seeing Wu Aixia was angry, Shen Shun felt much better.
He made a face and said, "My brother is capable. Unlike your brother, he can't make any money and has to beg for meat from others."
“You——” Wu Aixia was so angry that she wanted to come over and hit Shen Shun.
Shen Shun made a few smug faces at her and ran away.
…
Ye Fuyue bought two canned fruits on the way. Chen Yao sent her to the downstairs of Yu Tong's house and then hurried back to the factory.
Yu Tong lives in a tube-shaped building. At this time, her parents have gone out to work.
Ye Fuyue knocked on the door for a long time before Yu Tong came to open the door.
Seeing Yu Tong's expression, Ye Fuyue was dumbfounded.
