Chapter 12 The Poor Little Widow



When I got home, Shen Yanming called me from overseas in the afternoon to report that he was safe.

The young wife, having lost her husband's protection, felt extremely helpless. She curled up in a small ball on the sofa like a timid flower.

Aunt Zhao was heartbroken as she carried the desserts and fruits out of the kitchen.

She was not lucky, as her two sons in her hometown who were collecting debts were waiting to get married.

When she saw the little girl from her employer's family, her maternal love immediately burst out.

So when the male employer asked for her opinion and asked if she would consider doing a long-term job, Aunt Zhao did not hesitate at all.

I was afraid that if I was late, my job of taking care of Qing Yuer would be taken away.

On the day the male employer left, Aunt Zhao, who was packing up and moving, naturally took over the male employer's job and took good care of the hostess.

After wiping her wet palms, Aunt Zhao placed the washed fruit in front of Qing Yuer within her reach.

Gently calling the dazed employer to eat some fruit, Qing Yuer came back to her senses and nodded subconsciously.

The next second, Aunt Zhao stuffed a fruit plate next to her, fearing that she would not eat it.

Fortunately, the little girl picked up the toothpick and started eating. Aunt Zhao nodded with satisfaction, but then she thought that the hostess had a poor appetite in the past two days, and her face looked even worse.

I started thinking about what kind of soup to make to replenish qi and blood. After thinking about it, Aunt Zhao decided to make double red pumpkin soup.

She was working hard in the kitchen when the doorbell rang.

The moment the voice sounded, the little golden retriever curled up under the sofa fluttered its ears smartly, then stood up and barked twice at the door.

Qing Yuer stood up, picked up the guide stick beside her, and groped her way over to open the door.

At this time, no one else came except Shen Yanqing. When he opened the door, he smelled the fragrance of roses. Shen Yanqing, holding flowers, poked his head out from the huge bouquet.

"sister in law!"

At this time, Aunt Zhao heard the noise and looked outside the door.

The young man was looking for a vase to put the flowers in, and Qing Yuer sat on the sofa.

I don't know who turned on the TV opposite the sofa. After taking a look, Aunt Zhao, who had alertly hidden herself, turned her attention back to the stove.

The little girl has looked very pale these past two days!

Aunt Zhao, who was fully focused on making delicious meals, knew that the boy outside who looked 50% to 60% like her male employer was his younger brother.

This young man is very kind-hearted. Even after his brother passed away, he doesn't mind the trouble to come to the house every day to help take care of him.

He is not like the other guys at all, he has no patience at all.

No one comes to my house empty-handed, always with flowers, fruits and snacks.

She stirred the soup in the pot, thinking that Qing Yuer had been in a bad mood for the past two days, so she had to take the dog for a walk instead.

When I took my dog ​​out for a walk with its leash, the neighbors I happened to see exercising were all very kind-hearted and asked about the hostess of the house with concern.

Aunt Zhao thought about talking to her employer's brother about taking the little girl out for a walk, to relax and unwind, which is better than staying at home.

During the first two days after Shen Yanqing arrived, Qing Yuer, who was not used to strangers, felt a little restrained.

Unfortunately, the enthusiastic young man was too likable and probably noticed her shyness, so he kept trying to find topics to chat with her.

Over time, Qing Yuer gradually got used to it and became less taciturn than before.

After cooking lunch at noon, Shen Yanqing stayed to eat. There were three dishes and a soup, both meat and vegetables. The two of them finished the meal.

"Sister-in-law, are you bored at home all the time? How about I take you out for a walk to relax?"

The young man with his hands clasped on the sofa looked at the fruit plate placed beside him, his red lips stained with cherry juice, and wet Qing Yu'er.

She pointed at the tip of her nose with her backhand, looking a little confused.

"Um!"

She asked, making a meaningless, sticky groan.

"Going to relax?"

After being stuck at home for several days, Qing Yuer suddenly realized that she seemed to be too bored.

I was tempted, but then I thought, I seldom go out, and going out would cause too much trouble for others.

Shen Yanqing beside her seemed to notice Qing Yuer's hesitation. He smiled, and a soft and hoarse laugh escaped from his throat.

The young man did what he said, regardless of Qing Yuer's hesitation.

Shen Yanqing stuffed the guide stick into her hand and made a decision directly. He urged the hesitant sister-in-law to change clothes and take her out to play later.

Qing Yuer was actually quite looking forward to going out for a walk. Due to physical limitations, she seldom went out when she was a child except for going to the blind school.

Later, she got married and her husband was busy making money. Chen Yanming lived a more old-fashioned life and could not access some of the new things that young people had, such as amusement parks.

The amusement park on weekdays is not as crowded as on weekends, but there are still many people coming to play.

It is a lively parent-child activity for young couples or a family of three.

There were crowds of people around, and Qing Yuer, who unconsciously tightened the sleeves of Shen Yanqing beside her, didn't expect that he would bring her to such a place.

An unprecedented sense of novelty burst out from the bottom of her heart. In fact, she couldn't play many projects in the amusement park, but it didn't prevent Qing Yuer from being infected by the happy and lively atmosphere of others.

They rode the Ferris wheel, the carousel, lined up for a meal, and ate roast chicken.

When the little girl came out, she was holding a rainbow balloon in her hand and had a cat-style headband on her head. If you didn't know, you would mistakenly think they were a young couple out for fun.

After all, men are obviously tall and attractive in appearance, and those who come to the amusement park are all attracted by the sunny and handsome Shen Yanqing first without exception.

I thought to myself, this guy is so handsome, I wonder what his girlfriend is like, it would be nice if she is not so pretty that she cannot be taken out.

With this inexplicable thought in mind, everyone lowered their heads and looked at the beautiful woman with glowing white skin next to the male college student. She was so outstandingly beautiful, like a jade.

Damn! Are male college students eating so well nowadays?

Jealousy, jealousy, and more jealousy.

In the evening, Shen Yan booked a restaurant early in the morning. It was a restaurant that specialized in seafood and the taste was surprisingly good.

After playing for half a day and enjoying a feast, Qing Yuer returned home. After taking a shower, she lay on the bed with her nightgown draped over her thighs, her white calves shaking.

Holding a cell phone that can announce people's names, I was eager to video call my husband on the other side of the ocean.

The overseas call was never made. Qing Yuer, who was once full of enthusiasm, became listless and buried her head in thought about her husband who was resting.

Worried about disturbing his rest, she tightened her pink face and wrapped herself in the quilt, ready to go to sleep.
