In Yang's opinion, her son was never frugal and would never spend so much. It must be the intention of her daughter-in-law. She thought Su Wenyue didn't know how to live. How much money would it cost to rent such a courtyard? The money saved would be enough for daily life. After all, she was born in a wealthy family and didn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt were. It was just that her son was tired. I heard that such a small official didn't get much salary every month. I'm afraid it was all spent on this.
"This is a matter between the fourth son and his wife. Why are you asking so many questions?" When Old Man Han saw Yang like this, he knew what his wife was thinking. He was afraid that Yang would cause trouble again and make everyone unhappy. The family had already separated, and how the fourth son and his wife lived was their own business.
The implied meaning in Yang's words was too obvious for Su Wenyue to fail to hear. She glanced at Han Yu. This mansion was handled by Han Yu. Although she knew how much money was spent, she didn't want to answer Yang.
Han Yu supported Su Wenyue without saying a word. He only said after hearing what Yang said, "This house was rented without spending any money. My mother-in-law rented it because she loved her daughter-in-law. My monthly salary is enough to support the family. I have many social events on weekdays, and I have to spend money on expenses. Thanks to Yue Niang, she often gives me some money from her dowry."
Han Yu said this with a guilty look on his face: "It's also because I'm incompetent. Even the festival gifts were taken out of my wife's dowry. Otherwise, I could have been more filial to my parents."
Su Wenyue heard Han Yu say this, glanced at Han Yu who was speaking seriously, and curled her lips slightly. This guy is really full of bad water, even her own parents were fooled, but she likes him very much.
"So it was rented by the in-laws. That's really a generous deal." When Yang heard that the house was rented by the Su family, she was a little shocked and resentful. She had wrongly blamed the fourth son's wife. When she heard that Han Yu did not spend enough on weekdays and had to rely on the fourth son's wife for subsidy, Yang was even more outraged. She thought her son lived a good life as an official, but it turned out that was not the case at all. It was obvious that he often relied on his daughter-in-law for subsidy, otherwise even the holiday gifts would not be paid by his daughter-in-law.
"The fourth son's wife is a good person. He will remember all the benefits you have given him for helping him. When you become successful in the future, I will definitely let you live a good life." Now Yang no longer had any dissatisfaction. She was afraid that Su Wenyue would not be willing to continue helping Han Yu, so she kept speaking well of Han Yu in front of Su Wenyue.
"What I said is true, mother. Han Yu is my husband. If I don't help him, who else can I help?" Su Wenyue said in a good mood. As long as Han Yu was willing to stand on her side, nothing else mattered. Besides, she had seen many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law getting along with each other. Yang was pretty good except that she was easily influenced and liked to meddle in other people's affairs.
When the servants in the house saw that it was Han Yu's parents who came, they hurriedly bowed and greeted them, which made Old Man Han and Yang so stiff that they didn't know where to put their hands and feet. After further inquiry, they found out that these servants were sent by the Su family, and even the monthly salary was paid by the Su family, so Su Wenyue and others didn't have to pay for it. They felt that the in-laws were thoughtful and felt a little ashamed. They, as parents, were not as good as the in-laws, who considered everything for the young couple.
"Dad, Mom, the food and hot water are ready. You've been traveling all day and you've worked hard. Eat first, then take a shower and have a good sleep. We can talk tomorrow if we have anything to say." Su Wenyue said with a smile again
"Oh, okay! OK!" The fourth son's wife's arrangements were thoughtful and appropriate, and they all agreed.
After arranging everything for her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Su Wenyue let Han Yu help her back to her room. She was already out of breath when she reached the room. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger. It was only six months old, but it was as big as a woman's belly about to give birth. Even walking was a little difficult for her. If her father-in-law and mother-in-law hadn't come, she really wouldn't have wanted to take the trouble to take care of things.
"Wife, you've worked hard. Take a good rest." Han Yu had been persuading Su Wenyue not to do these things, but his wife insisted on going in person, saying that it was a daughter-in-law's intention. He couldn't stop his wife from showing off in front of his parents. He was happy to see that his wife could get along well with his parents. Anyway, his parents were just coming to deliver things and wouldn't stay for a few days.
In order not to worry Su Wenyue, Han Yu made all the necessary arrangements before going to the military camp the next day.
"Fourth son's wife, you're awake. Be careful. You're pregnant with two babies!"
Su Wenyue woke up and was about to call for someone to serve her when she heard Yang's loud voice, which scared her. She then remembered that her parents-in-law had come last night. However, they suddenly appeared in her room so early in the morning. Su Wenyue felt that her privacy was invaded and felt a little uncomfortable. If she hadn't been pregnant, even Nanny Chen and Xiaoxi would not be allowed to enter during their rest time without her and Han Yu's instructions.
Although Su Wenyue felt uncomfortable, she still had a smile on her face: "Mom, you were exhausted from traveling all day yesterday. Why did you get up so early? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare breakfast and have someone take you and dad to the town later. We finally came here, so we have to go around and have a look. Originally, my husband and I should have taken you there ourselves, but my husband had to go to the camp to be on duty, and I'm pregnant and it's hard for me to go out, so I had to let the servants take you there. Otherwise, I'll let Xiaoxi take you there. She has lived in the Han family for so long and is familiar with you."
"You are having a hard time carrying the child, so don't worry about us two old people. We can do anything. I got up early today and killed the old hen I brought yesterday. I stewed a big pot of soup for you. Chicken soup is the best for your body." Yang came over with a smile, put her hand on Su Wenyue's belly and touched it, her eyes burning, as if Su Wenyue had a golden egg in her belly.
Su Wenyue's smile froze: "Mother, you have worked hard. I have Nanny Chen and the others to take care of me. How can I trouble you? Just tell them to do the kitchen work."
Nanny Chen and the others were also very perceptive. The old lady insisted on coming into the master's room, and they, as servants, couldn't stop her. When they saw Su Wenyue get up, they hurried over to help her get up.
Yang felt that her daughter-in-law was a little spoiled. When she was pregnant, she still worked in the fields. Her daughter-in-law didn't have to do anything, even dressing needed help. But her son was happy to spoil her, so she didn't say anything, lest he say that she was too nosy. As long as her daughter-in-law could give birth to her precious grandson, she was fine. Thinking that her daughter-in-law was pregnant with two babies, Yang's smile became brighter.

After washing up, Su Wenyue saw a big bowl of greasy chicken soup brought by her mother-in-law. She felt very hungry and had no appetite at all, but her mother-in-law kept urging her to drink more while it was hot. Su Wenyue thought it was her mother-in-law's good intention, so she had to pinch her nose and drink the chicken soup. But she didn't expect that the morning sickness that hadn't occurred for a long time came back at this time.
