"Okay, if you need any help, be sure to ask me."
Zheng Wangshu said solemnly that he was also worried that his sister-in-law would suffer.
Zheng Guiying looked at her deeply, her eyes softening. She thought, why was she so angry with a child? It was her, as an elder, who was being petty.
"How are you doing now? Is that person treating you well?"
Zheng Guiying's lips moved, and she finally couldn't help but ask. She had sworn before that she would be a masochist if she interfered in Zheng Wangshu's affairs in the future, but when it came to this, she couldn't bear to do it.
"Yes, it's very good to me. I have meat to eat every day now, and the two children are very obedient. If you don't mind, come to my house in a couple of days and I will cook for you."
Zheng Wangshu smiled after he finished speaking, his expression was calm and it didn't look like he was pretending.
Zheng Guiying was skeptical. A pig farmer with two children, how good could such conditions be? Putting aside these things, the problem was that this man was the cousin of Zheng Wangshu's ex-husband. It was a complete mess.
But now seeing Zheng Wangshu in such good condition, he couldn't help but begin to doubt his own judgment.
"Okay, little aunt, remember this. I'll first investigate what you told me, and then I'll come find you."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before Zheng Wangshu rode away on his bike.
After returning, Zhou Jingchuan was kneading dough in the kitchen. Although his movements were a bit clumsy, fortunately he had endless energy, and the noodles looked very chewy.
"Want some noodles?"
Zhou Jingchuan nodded. "The kids want to eat tomato and egg noodles. I thought since you're not here, I'll cook."
Zheng Wangshu frowned slightly. Zhou Jingchuan's cooking skills were only good at kneading dough. The stewed food he made was simply inedible.
"Alright, alright, go out now. Leave the rest to me. Is the thing you made edible..."
Zhou Jingchuan, a grown man, could only step back silently and look at Zheng Wangshu with grievance when he heard his wife's disgusted voice.
"What are you doing here? Go out. I'll call you when you're ready."
The kitchen was not very big to begin with, and Zhou Jingchuan, a big guy, felt the whole space was oppressive when he stood here.
Zhou Jingchuan didn't leave, but just stood aside. "By the way, how did you talk to your aunt? Does she believe what you said?"
When he came back, he kept thinking about this matter. If it were in the past, he would definitely not want to get involved in these trivial matters. He and Zheng Wangshu were also fake husband and wife, and he couldn't even take care of her affairs, let alone her relatives.
But now it’s different. He wants to live a serious life with this woman, and her affairs are his own affairs.
"I'm half-believing it. She said she'd send someone to investigate. Do you think anything will go wrong? Do we need her help?"
Zheng Wangshu was also nervous. If Yan Wenfei was a fool, she wouldn't say anything. But the problem was that the man seemed two-faced, and she didn't know if her aunt could be his match.
"Let's take a look first. Go over there and ask around for the next couple of days. Let me know if you need any help."
Listening to Zhou Jingchuan's deep male voice, Zheng Wangshu's heart moved.
No matter what, it's really good that this man can do this. She has seen too many scumbags in her previous life. A man with a sense of responsibility is already much better.
"Okay, I know. Thank you."
Zhou Jingchuan raised his eyebrows when he heard her being so polite.
"You really want to thank me?"
Zheng Wangshu was just being polite verbally, but he didn't expect Zhou Jingchuan to get to the bottom of it, and he couldn't help but glance at him.
"What do you want to say?"
"If you really want to thank me, then give me a kiss."
Zhou Jingchuan said shamelessly, and Zheng Wangshu couldn't help but look at him differently. He originally thought that this man was quite serious, but he didn't expect him to be so shameless and even kiss him?
Zhou Jingchuan felt a little embarrassed. He felt more and more guilty as Zheng Wangshu looked at him, and he couldn't help but point at his face.
"Just a kiss."
Zheng Wangshu gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't get out now, I'll kiss you with the sole of my shoe."
Zhou Jingchuan: "..."
What else could he say? He could only touch his nose awkwardly and leave the kitchen silently.
What can I do if my wife is too fierce? Thinking of Zheng Wangshu's fierce look when he hit Zhao Fang with a stick today, I was also scared.
Zheng Wangshu couldn't help but laugh softly when he thought of Zhou Jingchuan's appearance just now. As they got along, this man became more and more humane. He was no longer like a robot with a stern face like before.
After a while, Zheng Wangshu prepared the meal. The two children ran in to serve the meal. The family sat in the yard and ate noodles. It was so refreshing.
Because the weather was hot, Zheng Wangshu rinsed the noodles with cold water in advance, which made them taste very refreshing.
While eating, Zheng Wangshu couldn't help but think of one thing, that is, Li Ruhui mentioned installing a water heater last time, and Zhou Jingchuan seemed to have not installed it for anyone yet.
"By the way, didn't your mom say she wanted to install a water heater too? Have you installed one recently?"
Zhou Jingchuan was stunned. He had been busy recently and had forgotten about this matter a long time ago.
"Tomorrow."
"Well, don't forget."
The two of them talked about the old man's birthday again. There will be a lot of people attending the event, and it is estimated that everyone in the Zhou family will go to congratulate him.
As a new daughter-in-law, the gifts she gave couldn't be too shabby.
But what to give as a gift is really a problem. The old man is not short of money. He is a veteran in scientific research. Even though he is retired now, he has nothing to lack. The country is taking care of him.
Giving expensive things as gifts always seemed too tacky, and they might not be useful to the elderly, so Zheng Wangshu asked Mr. Zhou Jingchuan about his preferences.
When Zheng Wangshu learned that the old man liked calligraphy and painting, he immediately became interested.
She had studied traditional Chinese painting and was also good at regular script. Why not give the old man a painting of pine trees and cranes? It would be perfect for a birthday celebration.
"How about I give the old man a painting when the time comes?"
Hearing Zheng Wangshu say this, Zhou Jingchuan looked a little strange. He didn't think Zheng Wangshu could draw anything. His first impression was that he could only draw slightly complicated simple drawings.
Naturally, the Zhou family couldn't afford such a thing.
Even though he thought so in his heart, he still didn't say anything to attack.
"What painting do you want to give me?"
"When the time comes, let's paint a picture of pine and crane. Come with me to buy some good rice paper and brushes and ink. I'll prepare it when we get back."
The day is almost here, and the painting needs to be framed after it is finished.
"You can?"
"Yes, I do like painting, but I gave up the hobby because I was busy with family matters. The old man has everything he needs, so I think it will be more sincere if I paint with my own hands."
Zhou Jingchuan nodded. Since she said so, let her draw. If she really couldn't do it well, it wouldn't be too late for him to stop her.
"Okay, I'll go buy it with you later."
Zhou Jingchuan’s main focus is to provide emotional value, and he does whatever his wife says.
