Su Shinian is about to give birth. Her huge belly makes it difficult for her to move and her mood is also fluctuating.
Seeing her brother whom she hadn't seen for several months, Su Shinian happily stood up to greet him. Su Shien was so scared that he hurried over to hold her arm and let her sit back down.
After a few pleasantries as usual, Su Shien talked about his life at Luoqi Academy and asked about Wang Tong's learning progress.
Wang Tong was a little embarrassed. He hadn't studied much recently. When faced with his brother-in-law's question, he had to say that he was too busy recently.
"I've been so worried about Shi Nian and the kids lately that I really can't focus on my studies. You're lucky to have a good wife at home, so you can focus on your studies. Besides, I wasn't as smart as you to begin with, and now I'm even less so."
Han Zeyu looked at the man curiously. After all, he was an educated man. How did he manage to offend three people at the same time with just one sentence?
Your wife is pregnant with your child. If you don’t take care of her, who will?
Just because she has become heavier and can't take care of everything like before, does that mean she is not a good wife?
Su Shien is good at studying because he is a hands-off boss and he is naturally smart. Doesn't he need to work hard?
Also, he seemed to be praising Han Zeyu, but in fact he was putting him on the fire. Although Wang Tong was not good at studying, he was absolutely gifted in sowing discord.
Su Shinian did feel a little uncomfortable. Ever since she became pregnant, she hadn't seen how Wang Tong took care of her. He even spent less time with her than her wet nurse.
When Su Shinian thought of the wet nurse, he felt guilty again. Last time, his brother saw Yang Wan at her place, but the wet nurse never showed up. He didn't know if he would still mind this matter.
Han Zeyu observed for a while, and finally found an opportunity to interrupt. He pretended to be concerned and asked, "Have you booked a midwife? Have you found a wet nurse? Who will take care of Big Sister during the confinement period?"
Wang Tong also realized that he had just said the wrong thing, so he quickly made amends, "The midwife has been decided, and the wet nurse is ready. I'll bring my mother over in a few days and let her take charge. You can rest assured!"
Han Zeyu thought to himself, "Don't talk anymore, just shut up!"
This process was very common in ancient times, and most families followed this method. But in Han Zeyu's opinion, it was full of pitfalls.
"It's really not easy to find a wet nurse who is breastfeeding and has experience. It's no wonder that they run a clinic and recruit so accurately."
Wang Tong was choked. He just said a few words casually. The wet nurse is over fifty years old. How can she feed the child herself?
Su Shinian still felt sorry for her husband, so she hurried to help him out, saying that she was in good health and it didn't matter whether she had a wet nurse or not. Her mother-in-law had experience and would help her.
Han Zeyu didn't say anything else, just smiled. The blisters on his feet were caused by walking, so no matter how much he said, it would be useless.
Without even eating, Su Shien pulled her husband to say goodbye. Facing the couple's attempts to keep her, he just looked at Wang Tong and told him to take good care of his elder sister.
After leaving the house, Han Zeyu hooked her husband's fingers and comforted him, "Don't get angry with a fool. It's not worth it."
Su Shien wanted to say that he was just feeling upset, but when he heard her husband's indiscriminate attack, he laughed instead. What a fool!
That couple is not smart, and he is also stupid. He knows that the relationship between the eldest sister and the wet nurse is better than that between the eldest sister and him, his own brother, so why does he rush to compete with them?
"Come up! Let me carry the smartest little elf back home. Let me get some of your magic energy and maybe I'll be even smarter in the future."
If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you are a bastard. Han Zeyu doesn't want to be a Ninja Turtle, he wants to be a fairy boy.
She swiftly climbed onto her husband's back, ignoring the strange looks from others, hugged his neck, swung her legs, and felt extremely elated.
"In a month or so, my eldest sister will be giving birth. By then, the old hag won't be able to hide forever. I'll go meet her."
Su Shien didn't want to bother her husband: "Don't worry about it, let's not waste time here."
Han Zeyu shook his finger and said, "No, no, I don't think there is anything wrong with the wet nurse."
"You said she first followed your mother, and later followed your eldest sister. Logically, they should have been master and servant for over a decade, but she ended up staying with you just before your eldest sister got married. Why do you think that was?"
Su Shien blurted out, "Because I can't bear to leave the splendor and wealth of the mansion, because following me will earn me more money, and maybe..."
Han Zeyu tightened her grip around her husband's neck and said with a sinister grin, "Speak up! Why don't you tell me? What could it be? Maybe she wants to give you her granddaughter?"
Ahem, Su Shien rolled his eyes, indicating that he was about to run out of oxygen. If he had something to say, they could just talk it out nicely. Why did he murder his own husband?
After a slap, there's a sweet date. Han Zeyu released his hand, kissed him, and said proudly, "Stamp it, everything is mine. If you dare to cheat, I'll bury you alive with the mistress!"
Su Shien sighed to the sky and really wanted to call out to his confidante whom he had never met.
"Miss Dou E, where are you? I miss you so much from afar."
"Come back to your senses, what are you thinking about? I tell you, mental infidelity is just as hateful, but well~ it's okay to think about that girl in green occasionally."
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Shien immediately became energetic. Her waist and legs no longer felt sore, and she didn't even feel tired after carrying her husband back home in one breath.
The girl in green?
I dare not think about it, I really dare not think about it, but I dare not think about it blindly.
I'm sorry, Miss Dou E, I can't communicate with you across the air anymore. Please take care of yourself, I will save my own life first.
"Don't run away, I'm carsick. Continuing with the previous topic, I think the wet nurse isn't just greedy for wealth and fame; she must have other motives."
Su Shien asked doubtfully, "Now that you put it that way, it does make some sense. Do you think she's looking for something?"
What do you mean?
"After my mother passed away, her belongings were sealed away. They were only unsealed when my eldest sister got married. After entering the inventory, the key to the warehouse came into my hands. After that, the wet nurse asked me for the key every now and then. I didn't think much of it at the time, and there wasn't anything valuable in the warehouse, so I gave it to her a few times, but the time wasn't long."
Han Zeyu nodded. This was a useful clue. It seemed that they should go home and check the warehouse.
When the two separated, all the dusty old things were moved back to the store. Later, when there was a shortage of room in the store, they took them back to Yunshan Village.
After dinner in the evening, the two drove the mule cart back to the village. The aunt-in-law was worried, so she asked Han Zeping to accompany them back, as it would be safer with more people.
Su Shien knew that his eldest cousin's wife was at home taking care of the children, so he thought it would be okay to take his cousin Zeping back with him so that he could at least stay at home with his wife and children.
As a result, just as he was about to agree, Han Zeyu interrupted him and sternly refused his cousin's request to follow him, claiming that he wanted to enjoy his time as a couple and would not tolerate a third party interfering.
Han Zeping was so angry that he went straight back to the house. Anyway, Yu Ge'er was so strong that he could kill a cow. Any robber who met him would be unlucky. So let him do whatever he wanted!
The three robbers who once roamed between the county town and the prefectural capital beat their chests and stamped their feet, saying, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
