Chapter 433: Unkind Visitors

For a moment, the atmosphere was very awkward.

Fortunately, not long after, Gu Cheng hurried back.

"Mom, why are you here?" After Gu Cheng sent a telegram to his hometown, he thought his mother would not come.

In fact, when the Gu family received the telegram, Gu's mother had already boarded the train to Qing City and had never seen Gu Cheng's reply.

But even if she knew, Gu's mother would still come this time.

Thinking of something, Gu's mother said calmly, "Why, you are my son, and as a mother, I can't come to see my son?"

Gu Cheng couldn't help but grab his short hair and said, "No, Mom, I'm just worried that you don't know the way alone."

Mother Gu snorted, "That's more like it. I... I heard that your wife gave birth to triplets, so I came to see. By the way, where are the children?"

Although she had opinions about Liu Yinyin, the children belonged to the Gu family after all. No matter what happened, it was impossible for Gu's mother to disown her grandchildren.

Gu Cheng glanced at Liu Yinyin.

Liu Yinyin looked a little unnatural, but still said, "Sleep in the room."

Gu's mother didn't really come to see the child. She was just looking for trouble and said, "Alas, I am the child's biological grandmother, but I have never even seen my grandson. I have to come here in person. It's not right."

Gu Cheng said directly: "You don't have to come in person. When the children grow up, I will bring them back to see you."

Mother Gu said unhappily, "How long do we have to wait?"

By the time the child grows up, the day lily will have become cold.

Gu Cheng didn't answer. He glanced at the sky and said to Liu Yinyin, "Don't cook tonight. I'll ask the cafeteria to send some dishes over."

Liu Yinyin hummed and was about to say something.

Before he could even open his mouth, he was interrupted by his mother: "Why go to the canteen to buy food? There are so many people at home, can't we cook for ourselves?"

Gu Cheng coughed twice: "Mom, Yinyin has to take care of the children and has no time to cook."

"Then there's also..." Gu's mother opened her mouth and wanted to say there's also Jiang Cuihua.

After thinking about it, he thought it was inappropriate and changed the topic: "I heard that my mother-in-law came here to help take care of the children?"

Liu Yinyin: "My mother is going back to her hometown tomorrow."

Mother Gu was stunned for a moment: "...Then you go cook and I'll take care of the child."

As a wife, how can I tell others that I don’t even cook?

Could it be that he wants her, as the mother-in-law, to cook for the whole family?

Gu Cheng saw that something was wrong and said hurriedly, "I'll go to the cafeteria..."

"Forget it." Liu Yinyin interrupted him, "You haven't finished get off work yet, go back and do your things, I'll cook the meal."

Gu Cheng hesitated and said, "But at home..."

He was afraid that when he was not around, the women at home would start fighting. After all, Gu Cheng grew up in the countryside and had seen this kind of thing many times since he was a child.

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just some cooking and childcare work, we can handle it."

"That's right. Why are you, a grown man, worrying about this?" Gu's mother waved her hands and said, "If you have something to do, just go and do it. When you're done, I have something to tell you."

Nothing is more important than his youngest son's job. The future success of the Gu family depends on his youngest son's future.

Gu Cheng didn't know what kind of medicine Gu's mother was selling, but he did have some important things to deal with.

Thinking that Liu Yinyin has Jiang Cuihua's help, she should not be bullied by Gu's mother.

He didn't stay at home for long and hurried back to the army.

Seeing that Gu's mother was sitting there motionless, Liu Yinyin said to Jiang Cuihua, "Mom, I'm going to cook."

Jiang Cuihua: "I'll help you."

Since Mrs. Gu wants to take care of the child, just let her do it.

In the kitchen, Liu Yinyin lit a fire and washed a cutlassfish. She would have pan-fried cutlassfish, a fried egg and two vegetarian dishes for dinner.

The staple food is white rice, which is similar to what we eat on weekdays.

Jiang Cuihua whispered, "How about we eat less tonight?"

She thought that the food at the lady's house was too good, and she wanted to eat fine grains and meat every meal as before.

Wouldn’t Mother Gu be reluctant to leave?

Liu Yinyin shook her head: "Mom, there's no need to do this."

It's not that she hadn't thought about it, but it was really unnecessary to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of her own.

If this were to be made known to others, it would have a bad impact on both her and Gu Cheng.

As they were talking, there was a sudden cry from outside. Several children had woken up.

Liu Yinyin immediately became anxious: "Mom, please go out and check. He must be hungry after sleeping for the whole afternoon."

Jiang Cuihua didn't move: "Didn't your mother-in-law say she would take care of the child..."

Liu Yinyin: "How can she take care of children? She wasn't the one who took care of my eldest brother's two children when they were young."

Jiang Cuihua: “…”

This is better. If Gu's mother doesn't know how to take care of the child, can't she just stay at the young lady's house?

Jiang Cuihua wanted to let Gu's mother suffer some of the pain of raising a child, but she was afraid that she would be bad to her grandchildren.

Jiang Cuihua finally went out. She didn't work, but just watched how Gu's mother took care of her grandchildren.

In the room on the first floor, it’s no wonder that older people are obsessed with having many children.

Suddenly having three grandchildren would make anyone happy, including Gu's mother.

At first sight, I felt quite surprised.

However, after a few children started crying, the mother was a little overwhelmed. Why were each of them crying louder than the other?

Just when I was about to go out to find Liu Yinyin, I ran into Jiang Cuihua.

Mother Gu said sheepishly, "The children must be hungry. I'll go get Yinyin to feed them."

Jiang Cuihua picked up the oldest child who was crying the loudest and comforted him, while pointing at the bottle on the bedside table and saying, "Yinyin has no milk, and the other children are all drinking formula..."

"What?" screamed Gu's mother. "Drinking milk powder? My goodness, three children all drink milk powder. How much does it cost?"

"That's right." There was hot water in the thermos, and Jiang Cuihua mixed it with some boiled water and quickly made a bottle of milk to feed the eldest child first.

"A packet of milk powder costs several yuan, and the babies are gone in two days. Money is spent like water...By the way, dear in-laws, please help me as soon as possible. I can't feed so many children by myself."

Mother Gu: "I... I don't know how to do this."

In the countryside, no one uses formula to feed their babies.

It costs several dollars in two days, and in a month... wouldn't it cost a hundred dollars?

Gu's mother's heart bleeds just thinking about it!

Jiang Cuihua said patiently, "If you don't know how, I can teach you. Don't you want to help them take care of the children? You have to learn how to do these things."

"I also have to take care of the children, change their diapers, wash their clothes, and bathe them... Oh, there are so many things to do. I am here and I am never idle all day long."

Mrs. Gu was overwhelmed by what she heard, and the noise from the children made her even more headache.
