Gu Yanzhang thought he had solved the problem perfectly. However, things never go as planned. Just two months after the incident, Gu Yanzhang and Chen Xuanxuan heard a shocking piece of bad news. Captain
Huang, whom they relied on so much, suddenly had a brain disease late at night and accidentally fell down.
Now, all the women in his family were in a panic.
Under the repeated instructions of old lady Liu, early that morning, Chen Xuanxuan and Gu Yanzhang took several sons and followed old lady Liu's family to visit Captain Huang at his home in the county town.
As soon as old lady Liu saw him, she burst into tears.
The heartbroken look moved others.
Even Captain Huang, who was lying on the bed and unable to move, had tears in his eyes. He even shed tears in front of his only son.
Seeing him like that, Gu Yanzhang actually had some thoughts.
But soon, he saw what true feelings and true love in the world meant.
Because at this moment, the old lady Liu strongly stated in front of everyone that she would take care of Captain Huang here.
When Captain Huang saw that his old lover who had been with him for decades was still obsessed with him, he looked at her with emotion and said, "Hua'er, there's no need to be like this. I'm at this age, and I don't know how many days I have left to live. I just hope..."
Just when he was about to say some mourning words, old lady Liu suddenly pulled a long face and scolded him sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"It's just a fall. I've been taking care of you every day these days, and you'll be well soon!"
Being retorted by old lady Liu in a vicious voice, the elderly Captain Huang was not angry at all, but felt a little secretly happy.
He thought to himself, "Hua'er is still the same as before. So kind... With her care, maybe I can really get better." He
also thought that if he was not well, his son and grandson would be entrusted to her care, which would be much better than others. Huang was moved to tears and held her hand tightly, saying, "Hua'er, do you know what I regret most now?!"
"What I regret most now is that when I was young, I couldn't persuade you and marry you home!"
Old lady Liu blushed and said, "Guagua, don't say such things! The past is the past. Don't you understand that it's not bad for us to be like this?"
Huang's only son is lame.
When he was young, he was handsome and elegant. When he was thirteen years old, he passed the examination and became a scholar. At that time, the whole county was in a commotion.
Later, some classmates were jealous of him, so they banded together to assassinate him. So much so that he became disabled at that time and has been unable to recover since. Moreover, from that day on, he never went out again, let alone interacted with outsiders.
Now, when he saw the old lady Liu crying for her father and even offering to stay at his house and take care of her father personally, he had no objection at all.
His own biological son also got married now. Regarding the old lady Liu, the young couple actually had no idea.
They knew in their hearts that with the help of the old lady Liu, if the old man of his family really went there accidentally, their family would lose some property at most.
But if it weren't for the help of Old Lady Liu, ... as soon as the old man fell, those jackals and beasts might eat them all in just a few days!
Especially those poor relatives.
They are a group of hungry wolves that eat people.
With the tacit consent of Captain Huang, Old Lady Liu really lived in his house from that day on.
Old Lady Liu not only lived there herself, but also let her eldest son and youngest son live with her.
After Chen Daming and Chen Xiaoming lived here together, she also let Chen Xuanxuan live there.
She said to Chen Xuanxuan, "The Huang family has a lot of vacant rooms. It's okay for you to live with me."
"Besides, the food in the Huang family is much better than that in your husband's family! Recently, I have taken over all the purchasing work for his family. We will eat whatever the old man eats. You won't have many opportunities to stay here. When you live here, just treat it as a vacation. Eat as much as you can. Don't be polite to me!"
Chen Xuanxuan was shocked when she heard what the old lady Liu said.
She felt that her mother was really good at means. Moreover, she was thicker-skinned than she thought.
Chen Xuanxuan put herself in his shoes and thought that she could not do such a thing herself. So, she nodded decisively and agreed that night.
She felt that her mother was right.
She had few opportunities to improve her family's diet.
Since the Huang family could eat well every day, including meat, sausages, and chicken, she would not be polite to them.
After all, one more person would only mean one more pair of chopsticks.
After making mental preparations, Chen Xuanxuan lived in the Huang family from that day on. As
early as more than ten years ago, after the death of his second wife, Captain Huang had never remarried. However, he had a large family and was a capable man. With the extra care of the county magistrate, he took in two of the county magistrate's concubines as his third wife, and the third and fourth wives.
These two were also wonderful people. They were both polite to the old lady, Mrs. Liu.
Now, Chen Xuanxuan lives in the Huang family. The two of them still hold the daughter born by their granddaughter-in-law and chat with the old lady Liu every day.
Several women sit together, warm and affectionate, as if they are a real family.
Sometimes, they sit together and play cards.
As a result, Chen Xuanxuan has heard all kinds of gossip about many prestigious families in the county.
Of course, listening to gossip is secondary. The most important thing is that the food in the Huang family is really good. His chef is also very capable. A simple roast chicken can be made very delicious!
Chen Xuanxuan can eat two big bowls every time she eats!
She bought an electronic scale on the Qionghehe app as early as last year.
This morning she weighed herself quietly, 106 pounds!
She remembered that she was only 86 pounds last year. Later, the family's diet improved. She ate glutinous rice and sausage every day, and her weight returned to normal. She weighed 97 kilograms.
After that, her weight has remained at this number.
Now, she has only been eating at the Huang family for half a month, and she has already soared 9 kilograms...
She carefully calculated with her fingers that she would gain one kilogram of meat every one or two days on average.
Chen Xuanxuan feels particularly happy about her weight gain.
Now she only hopes that she can eat more good food. If she eats more, she will break even.
After all, when she wants to eat something delicious at home, her powerful, stingy and miserly father-in-law will rebuke her with that strange look.
She is always misled and thinks that she has become an unforgivable sinner.
