Chapter 51: Burning Intentions
Wei Lingjue said: "If she gets sick again, force her to stay in the infirmary and let her go back after she recovers."
Zhang Yan agreed with his words very much and still hoped that Ye Mu would be fine. After all, she had not met many people who were so well-behaved and likable.
Others may not like it, but her first impression of Ye Mu was very good.
Ye Mu followed Zhao Nianxi back to the family building. When she arrived at her own door, she went straight forward to open it.
Zhao Nianxi was stunned and asked, "You want to go home?"
She immediately became unhappy. What did this mean? I followed her back and ended up going home?
What if something happens at home again?
Wouldn't Song Yanzhou have to blame her?
But seeing Ye Mu like this, Zhao Nianxi didn't know what to say. She wanted to force Ye Mu to go upstairs, but she felt it was inappropriate.
Ye Mu opened the door and Zhao Nianxi followed her in. She had nothing to say and thought to herself: Forget it, she will just waste the whole morning watching over Ye Mu at Song Yanzhou's house.
Ye Mu walked to the cabinet, opened it, rummaged through the candy, grabbed a handful, and handed it to Zhao Nianxi.
Zhao Nianxi was stunned on the spot.
She looked at Ye Mu, suddenly at a loss, and said in surprise:
"For me?"
She was surprised, but also ashamed of the disgust and aversion she had just felt in her heart. Her face became hot because of embarrassment!
For a moment, he didn't know what to do. Then, looking at the handful of candy, Zhao Nianxi came back to his senses. He couldn't help but smile, but his mouth was filled with familiar reproach and concerned advice:
"You brought us such a big handful of candy yesterday, why are you being so polite to my sister-in-law?"
"Just leave it there. I just asked you to sit for a while. Why did I ask you to bring these things? Isn't it being too polite to my sister-in-law?!"
She took the candy from Ye Mu and quickly put it back in the cabinet. Seeing the bags of snacks and canned food in the cabinet, she thought to herself that this couple was really a spendthrift!
Song Yanzhou doesn't know how to live frugally, and Ye Mu seems to be following Song Yanzhou's example.
After all, she heard about giving candies to people from other military wives. Song Yanzhou did it first, and Ye Mu doesn't know how to interact with people, so didn't he learn it from Song Yanzhou?
Ye Mu thought that going to other people's homes was indeed causing trouble for them, so it was reasonable to give them some compensation.
It’s just hard to express it, and Zhao Nianxi actually refused to accept it.
She saw that when she gave the candy to him yesterday, Zhao Nianxi was very happy.
She thought about it, looked at the box of vanishing cream, took it down and handed it to Zhao Nianxi. Since other military wives specifically came to steal this thing, it meant that this thing was very popular.
If Zhao Nianxi is no longer interested in candy, she should at least like vanishing cream, right?
Zhao Nianxi never expected Ye Mu to do this. He just put the candy in his pocket in the cabinet, turned around and saw Ye Mu handing him a box of vanishing cream. Zhao Nianxi was so scared that he almost pinched his hand when closing the cabinet.
“Oh my——” she exclaimed.
Facing Ye Mu's calm and innocent eyes, Zhao Nianxi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He quickly took the vanishing cream, put it back in its place, took Ye Mu's hand and walked out, sighing as he walked:
"Sister, being so polite to your sister-in-law is a bit too formal."
"If I keep accepting your things, I'll be taking advantage of you and your wife."
"Captain Song is very good, but it is not easy to be promoted so quickly and to be so good in the army. It is all earned through blood, sweat and real swords and guns."
She took the key from Ye Mu and locked the door, then talked to Ye Mu in a sincere manner:
"You are like this, and your sister-in-law knows it. But Captain Song is willing to buy these things for you, so your sister-in-law can't say anything. But these canned milk candies and other snacks are expensive. If you just give them away, they are all very precious things."
"Your health is not good, so it's best for you to keep the food for yourself. Captain Song must mean the same thing. You don't have to worry about my sister-in-law. It's a good thing to come to my sister-in-law's house more often."
"Besides, Captain Song gave me money and tickets to let my sister-in-law cook meat dishes for you every day, so that we can have more oil and water at home. It's still us, the Sun family, who are taking advantage of you two young people. If you continue to give me gifts like this, my sister-in-law won't dare to associate with you in the future."
"My sister-in-law is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage. If I receive too much, I will have trouble sleeping. How can I have the nerve to associate with you guys?"
"You'll understand how people interact with each other in the future. If someone keeps taking advantage of you like this, you should stay away from them as soon as possible. Got it? Don't be so stupid in the future. You even have to give me vanishing cream, which is more expensive than candy."
"It scared me..."
Zhao Nianxi patted her chest. She was really scared by Ye Mu's actions.
At the same time, my heart was full of emotion, and the last bit of concern in my heart disappeared. I didn't expect Ye Mu to be a man of few words, but a good person.
This is really good, they are willing to give everything.
"What happened a few days ago was my fault. I didn't close the door for you. Military wives should help each other as much as they can. They all have their own personalities, so it's not easy to get along with each other."
Although Zhao Nianxi confiscated the gift given by Ye Mu, she felt that Ye Mu was honest and generous. He gave the gift directly without saying anything.
Although it was a bit of a waste for Song Yanzhou, it also showed that Ye Mu was not really difficult to get along with.
She had a prejudice against this girl before. She was kind, thoughtful and looked innocent.
Zhao Nianxi let go of his prejudice and felt relieved. He patted Ye Mu's hand and said:
"You will help your sister-in-law to watch those two naughty kids do their homework. They just play all day during the holiday."
"I still have to make a few more clothes. Children grow fast, especially Sun Fusheng, who is ten years old this year and will grow taller and taller."
Ye Mu didn't say a word the whole time. There were calluses on the palms of Zhao Nianxi's hands, and the feeling was different from the calluses on Song Yanzhou's hands.
His fingers were a bit thick, much bigger than Ye Mu's hands, obviously the result of doing housework frequently.
She followed Zhao Nianxi quietly. Zhao Nianxi glanced at her. If she had said so many words so enthusiastically before, but Ye Mu didn't say a word, Zhao Nianxi would definitely be unhappy.
But thinking about what happened just now, Zhao Nianxi couldn't help but be unhappy, and his heart was still at peace.
This girl is much better than those military wives who say nice things on the surface but do another thing behind the scenes.
It means that you don't open your mouth much, so you are easily at a disadvantage.
However, Zhao Nianxi thought that since they were all military wives, she could help Ye Mu more in the future. She felt a little guilty for accepting Captain Song's money and their candies and doing nothing for them.
When they arrived at Zhao Nianxi's house, Zhao Nianxi asked Ye Mu to sit aside and then called the two children:
"Sun Fusheng! Sun Furong! Hurry up and take out your homework. Your Aunt Ye is here and she will help you with your homework. Be good and don't make trouble in the room."
As she spoke, she walked towards the kitchen. Ye Mu looked at the two little guys and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. He turned around to take out his summer homework, sat down at the table angrily, and started doing his homework with a pen in hand.
Ye Mu walked behind them and looked at them. The two children suddenly became even more unhappy. Ye Mu could feel the negative pressure.
Sun Fusheng glanced at the kitchen and heard the sound of washing dishes. He immediately turned to Ye Mu, looking fierce and angry, but speaking in a low voice:
"What are you looking at? You've never seen anyone doing homework before!"
Ye Mu didn't say anything and stared at him for a while.
Perhaps children are naturally afraid of adults. After being stared at by her for a while, Sun Fusheng suddenly felt guilty. He turned to look at his homework and scratched his head over the difficult questions.
The young Sun Furong blinked and looked at Ye Mu, and asked in a low voice:
"Sister, can you do your homework? I don't know how to do this question."
Ye Mu took a look and to be honest, she didn't know how to answer the cultural questions of this era.
Maybe it cannot be said that she would not give the answer, but rather that she cannot guarantee that the answer she gives is correct.
Cultural questions are naturally very different in different times. If it is a rigid cultural content of the imperial chronicles, she can do it. It is nothing more than poetry, songs and classical Chinese. Ye Mu has not studied the rules therein, but it is very easy for her to memorize it.
So she shook her head. Sun Furong was a little disappointed. He said "oh" and changed the question.
Sun Fusheng snorted and said:
"You don't know how to do it, so what's the point of watching us do the test?!"
Then he angrily pushed the homework in front of Ye Mu and said, "I don't know how to do it either. If you don't teach me, I won't do it! I'll save it for the afternoon when I go to see Sister Wu Yueying."
Arithmetic problem.
Ye Mu took a look, took the pen from his hand, and wrote down the answer.
There was no process, I just wrote an answer.
