Chapter 117 Wan's Plan
Han stepped forward as if offering a treasure and said, "My son-in-law made some food and put it on the boat to sell. You can try it. Xiaotai also brought back the thin cotton cloth that Xiaoyu wanted. I will send it to her right away."
"That's great!" Huang was delighted. She quickly put down the wooden basin and led them into the house.
As soon as Su Tai entered the room, she found that the room was much warmer than outside. She even broke out in a sweat. "Why is it so hot?"
Huang pointed to the window and said, "There's a charcoal basin burning over there. It must be very hot! This way we won't be afraid of adults and children getting cold. We can also prepare some charcoal basins when you give birth."
Su Tai subconsciously took a few more glances and found that the charcoal basin was burning by the window. There was a gap and it was not a closed environment. She didn't say much and sat down next to Su Yu to watch her feed the child.
"Big fat boy!"
Su Yu tilted her head and looked at her belly in amusement, "You too!"
"It's hard to say since the baby hasn't been born yet."
Huang said, "What does it matter? A smooth first birth is better than anything else. Your cousin suffered a lot when giving birth this time."
Seeing her doubts, Su Yu smiled bitterly and said, "The child is too big to give birth. Fortunately, I didn't eat too much afterwards, otherwise it would be dangerous. You have to learn from my lesson."
Su Tai agreed obediently and opened the material she brought for her to see. "This piece is for spring and autumn, and this piece is for summer. See if it's enough. If not, you can ask my mother for more, or ask my brother-in-law to go to my house to get it."
Su Yu touched the material and was very surprised. "Enough! It's enough! Your brother-in-law is going to the county town to tell my parents the good news these two days. We'll discuss it when he comes back. If it's not enough, we'll go to you to buy it. You can't refuse to pay."
Su Tai did not respond. She looked at the soft and tender baby with a loving smile on her face.
After returning, she kept telling Shen Yi about what she saw and heard at Su Yu's place.
After listening to this, Shen Yi fell into deep thought, "You gave birth in October, and it was snowing at that time. Our family does need to prepare a charcoal basin. No, the charcoal basin is not very safe. What should we do? Xiaotai, do you have any good ideas?"
Su Tai's eyes widened in disbelief. "Brother Shen, I'm talking to you about children, and you're talking to me about charcoal basins? Have you ever thought about whether our baby is a boy or a girl?"
Chen Yi smiled, "Girls and boys are the same, I like them all. Just like Aunt Huang said, just give birth to the baby smoothly. Let's think about how to warm the house in winter."
Su Tai saw that the man beside her was crazy, and helplessly held her forehead, "Don't worry about heating. I will find someone to customize a safe charcoal stove later. I guarantee there will be no risk."
Shen Yi stopped struggling.
The two men had just returned from Dongmen Village, and Su Sheng had just arrived in the county town.
This was his first time to come to the Bai Mansion in the county town. Looking at the tall gate and large courtyard, his heart was pounding. He finally found the side door that Su Yu mentioned, but he didn't dare to knock for a long time. It was not until it was almost dark that he finally knocked on the door.
Awang opened the door and looked at Su Sheng with unfamiliar eyes, "What's the matter?"
Su Sheng nervously grasped the corner of his clothes and said, "I'm looking for Su Chunsen and Su Chuan. I'm Su Chunsen's son-in-law."
Awang looked surprised, and looked at Su Sheng carefully again, then stepped aside to let him in. "Chun Sen Su is in the stable, I'll go find him, you go inside and rest first."
Su Sheng didn't expect that he could get in so smoothly, and it was a little unbelievable.
Before he could recover, Su Chunsen came with Wan and Su Chuan.
"Why are you here? Xiaoyu gave birth?" Mrs. Wan asked impatiently as she entered the door.
Su Sheng quickly stood up and nodded awkwardly, with a silly smile on his face, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law, Xiaoyu just gave birth to a big fat boy. It happened that the busy farming season has just passed, so I can rest for a few days, so I hurried over to tell you the good news."
"Oh! God bless you, God bless you!" Wan clasped her hands together and took small steps excitedly.
Su Sheng looked at Su Chuan and asked Cui Lan, "Brother-in-law should be a father soon!"
Su Chuan nodded with a smile, and there was more expectation in his eyes, "Yes! I will trouble you again when the time comes."
"Okay, okay!" Su Sheng didn't know how they could help, he just knew he had to agree to whatever it was.
Su Chunsen was relieved when he saw his son's expression. "That's right. Although Cuilan is a little overbearing and unreasonable, she is still your daughter-in-law after all. It's better for you to live a good life."
Su Chuan didn't explain, but Wan's expression changed.
After thinking for a while, she looked at Su Sheng and asked, "How long can you stay this time?"
Su Sheng replied honestly: "I plan to rush back tomorrow. If I'm quick, I can get home before dark."
Wan frowned, "Can't you stay a few more days? Madam Bai is going to the temple to worship Buddha the day after tomorrow, and all of us servants have to go with her. Your father-in-law has to drive the carriage and go too. The eldest young master and his wife have to accompany him. But your brother-in-law doesn't have anything to do, so you can ask him to talk to the eldest young master and take you for a walk in the county, and bring some snacks back for Xiaoyu.
There are several dim sum restaurants in the county that make good snacks. When Xiaoyu followed the eldest lady, she often received some rewards. I saw that she was reluctant to eat them. Now that she is not in the county, she must miss them. "
Su Sheng originally wanted to refuse, but upon hearing what Wan said, he immediately followed her wishes and stayed.
Su Chuan took him to the inn.
Su Chunsen asked in confusion: "Why did you keep your son-in-law for so many days? Although Ah Chuan will be fine the day after tomorrow, my daughter-in-law is pregnant and cannot go with her to worship Buddha. Why don't you let Ah Chuan accompany my daughter-in-law for a walk?"
Wan snorted unhappily, "Why are you leaving? I'm so precious! I can't be touched or tired. If I feel uncomfortable, you'll blame my son. The eldest young lady doesn't like me because of what happened last time, and she doesn't treat my son well either. If there's any problem again, she'll beat my son to death and sell him off!"
Wan got angry when she talked about this matter. Last time, she said she wanted to confront Cuilan. Anyone with a discerning eye could see who was at fault, but the eldest young lady's wife believed that one should look at the owner when beating a dog. She was sure that Wan did not take the eldest young lady seriously, and she would give her a cold shoulder every time she went to the main courtyard.
She had endured it before, but this time she had to solve the problem, otherwise her son would have to raise someone else's child!
"It won't be that serious!" Su Chunsen tried to persuade her, but he had no confidence.
Wan snorted in increasing dissatisfaction.
After Su Chuan settled Su Sheng down, he secretly went to find Wan and asked, "Mom, what are your plans?"
Wan's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and she lowered her voice and said, "Cui Lan's belly is getting bigger and bigger. If we don't take action now, it will be troublesome. We can't really let her give birth to a child and make her famous by having a child!"
"Mom, if we attack her, the master will definitely not let us off easily!" Su Chuan frowned. He knew how much Madam Bai and Young Master Bai cared about the baby in Cuilan's belly. After all, the eldest young master's wife was childless, and Qiuju kept drinking contraceptive soup, so there was movement in Cuilan's belly.
