next door.
He Meizhu did not go to the second wife's house this morning, nor did she go out to bed.
There's nothing much to do right now, so she can rest at home.
He Meizhu frowned deeply upon hearing the commotion and noise coming from the second wife's side.
Miao Yuan was no good person, and the educated youth around her were all loud and boisterous, their voices even louder than those of the village women.
They don't seem to mind the noise so early in the morning.
He Meizhu stood in the yard for a while, guessing that the fourth brother and the others should have gotten up, so she walked to the small gate, ready to knock on the door and come over to see Lu Huaijiao.
She had just reached the door when it was opened.
"Fourth brother?"
When He Meizhu saw Gu Changzheng, she lowered her hand and stepped over the threshold into Gu Changzheng's courtyard.
After several months, the flowers, grass, and grapevines that Gu Changzheng had planted in the yard all became very lush.
It didn't look particularly impressive when it was first planted, but now it looks quite nice.
Beneath the window of the room, there was a pot of very lush mint, and in the kitchen area, there were two brick flower beds planted with chrysanthemums, roses, and the like, which were in full bloom right now.
You can smell a wonderful floral fragrance as soon as you get close.
The grapevines had also climbed all over the trellis, obscuring the stone table underneath.
Beside the swing, the osmanthus tree was in full bloom.
The yard is filled with the fragrance of flowers.
He Meizhu used to think this feeling was not very practical, but now she suddenly realized that if she was in a bad mood, living in such an environment seemed to relieve her mood.
"Is Jiaojiao still sleeping?"
He Meizhu asked softly.
Gu Changzheng hummed in agreement. He raised his hand and ran a hand through his buzz cut: "Mom, you didn't go to my second brother's house?"
"What am I supposed to do there?"
He Meizhu said angrily as she sat down on a stone bench under the grape trellis: "Your second brother, marrying a woman like that, just seeing him makes me feel annoyed. What would I do there?"
Gu Changzheng glanced at his mother's expression and sat down with amusement. He took out malted milk powder and an enamel cup from a small cabinet under the stone table, uncorked the kettle, and made a cup of malted milk powder for He Meizhu.
"Have a glass of malted milk powder to cool down."
He pushed the malted milk powder in front of He Meizhu.
He Meizhu's face darkened.
"Why are you giving me this precious stuff? Save it for Jiaojiao. I'm telling you, Fourth Brother, you don't even know how to save this kind of thing for your own wife."
"Why would an old woman like me eat these things?"
"Mom, why can't you eat? If you speak any louder, Jiaojiao will wake up and you'll be nagged by her again."
Gu Changzheng lowered his voice, telling his mother not to get so agitated.
He Meizhu immediately shut her mouth.
Yes, what she, the youngest daughter-in-law, dislikes most is the behavior of the elderly who refuse to eat this or that, leaving everything for the younger generation.
For example, if He Meizhu refuses to eat meat during meals, she will get angry.
Not only did they put the meat into He Meizhu's bowl, but they also said that the elderly should take good care of their health so as not to add burden to the children.
He Meizhu had no choice but to eat it.
She hadn't thought of it before, so she spoke up out of habit. Just as Gu Changzheng said, if Lu Huaijiao really heard this, she would definitely complain that He Meizhu didn't take care of her health.
He Meizhu realized this, which is why she stopped complaining that Gu Changzheng was not good at managing the household.
She took the malted milk powder, picked it up and saw that it was a very thick cup.
"you……"
"Mom, stop nagging. Your youngest son isn't short of food."
He Meizhu:......
Is this a matter of good or bad? Or is it that he simply doesn't know how to manage a household? He Meizhu felt utterly helpless, realizing that men really are unreliable.
Whether it's her son or her husband, they both belong to the unreliable category!
However, I felt it would be a bit unfair to Jiaojiao to be in charge of the household. She was originally carefree and independent, but now that she's married, pregnant with several children, and has to worry about the daily necessities of the family, it's just too much for her.
We'll just have to let this brat run the household for now.
"Try to soak less in the future. Be more frugal with what you eat and spend. You're going to be a father soon, with three kids and a wife, four people in total waiting for you to support."
The younger son doesn't earn many work points, but he has other ways to make money.
He Meizhu turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.
Gu Changzheng agreed.
"I understand. The money I saved to raise my son is with your daughter-in-law."
"That's more like it. A man who wants his wife to feel at ease should never have any money on him."
He Meizhu earnestly taught her son how to be a qualified husband.
Gu Changzheng listened for a while, yawning. For a man like him who was even more filial to his wife than to his parents, his mother's lecture was unnecessary.
The sound of voices coming from next door came over again, and Gu Changzheng frowned.
"Mom, I'm going to go check next door."
"What are you going to do?"
“They were talking loudly, which disturbed your daughter-in-law. She couldn’t sleep well at night and didn’t fall asleep until almost dawn.”
Gu Changzheng did not hide anything.
Upon hearing this, He Meizhu's expression also turned serious: "Is Jiaojiao not getting any rest at night these days?"
"Yes, my belly is big and it's uncomfortable."
