Thinking about it, Madam Gu smiled and asked, "Chuxia, how does the soup taste?"
“It’s delicious,” Lin Chuxia replied.
Madam Gu smiled even more brightly: "If you like it, drink more. I'll have Xiao Qian write down the recipe for you to take back later. This is a recipe that I asked someone to find for a long time. It's very nourishing and has many benefits for women. It can not only beautify the skin, but also make it easier for you to have children when you and Yuheng plan to have them."
Lin Chuxia, who was drinking soup, choked on her own words.
"Cough cough cough..."
She knew that things weren't going to be that simple today.
Every time she meets her mother-in-law, she has to bring up this matter.
She felt that she was not thin or weak, but her mother-in-law always thought she was thin and weak.
Every time we met, I would tell her to eat more, and every now and then I would find her some folk remedies to nourish her body, saying that only by taking good care of her body would she not suffer when giving birth...
She was terrified of all those folk remedies; some were good for her health, but they tasted awful. However, she couldn't refuse her elders' orders, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and drink them.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law seemed to realize that she didn't like those drinks, and later stopped letting her drink them. But then there would be new ones... This went on and on, and she was quite afraid of meeting her mother-in-law.
Moreover, she is only nineteen years old and has never even thought about having children. Facing the two elderly people who are eager to have a grandchild, the pressure is really immense.
"Why did you choke again? Or does the soup not taste good?" Madam Gu originally wanted to hand Lin Chuxia a tissue, but she was far away, so she could only watch.
Lin Chuxia took the tissue Gu Yuheng handed her, wiped her mouth, and then explained with a smile, "It's nothing, I just thought the soup tasted good, so I drank it a little too fast. Cough cough..."
Gu Yuheng smiled and gently stroked her back to help her catch her breath: "I know you're eager to have a child for me, but there's no need to rush. Drink slowly."
Lin Chuxia kicked him hard under the table.
What nonsense are you spouting, you scoundrel!
Hearing Lin Chuxia say that she still liked the taste of the soup, and that there was already more than half of the soup left in the bowl, Old Madam Gu breathed a sigh of relief and was even happier.
"It seems we found the right recipe this time. I'll have Xiao Qian take the recipe back to you later, and if you want to drink it, I'll have Yuheng stew it for you."
Hearing this, Su Manwen, who had been wanting to interject but hadn't found the opportunity, was surprised: "Yuheng can actually cook?"
Lin Chuxia was also very surprised and looked up at the man beside her: "You can cook?"
Before Gu Yuheng could speak, Old Madam Gu answered for him: "He may not know how to cook, but who is born knowing how to cook? You can learn if you don't know how. Your wife will suffer a lot when she gives birth to your child. What's wrong with you making her a soup?"
That last sentence was said to Gu Yuheng.
Gu Yuheng nodded obediently, "Okay. I'll stew it for her when I have time."
“It’s not that you have time, it’s that Chu Xia wants to drink it, so you have to stew it,” Old Madam Gu corrected.
“Okay. I’ll cook it for her if she wants to drink it,” Gu Yuheng said.
Only then did Madam Gu smile with satisfaction.
However, Su Manwen, who was standing next to her, could no longer maintain her smile.
"Isn't Chu Xia still in school? She's only a freshman, right? And she's already thinking about having a baby?!"
