Chapter 494: Era - The Original Wife Squeezed Away by Her Childhood Sweetheart 8
The census has not started yet, so this is the best time to settle down here.
After the 1953 census, movement of people would be restricted.
The location she chose today was just right. She wouldn't be required to rent a house like if she lived in the city, but it was also close to the city, making it convenient for her to do everything.
While the economy is still relatively stable these few years, start a small business and find a job when the time is right. You can live a pretty good life there.
Chang Yuhua was ready to start a new life in Nanjing Village, but Yu Chenglong was not so happy when he returned home from get off work in the evening.
In the afternoon, the old lady was fine, and the doctor discharged her from the hospital to recuperate at home.
At noon, Hu Yunmei learned from Yu Chenglong that he and Chang Yuhua had divorced. The old lady asked her to stay, so she did not leave.
When Yu Chenglong came home from get off work, he saw smoke billowing in the kitchen from afar and heard a woman coughing.
His heart skipped a beat, thinking the kitchen was on fire, and he ran towards the kitchen.
When I entered the kitchen, I saw that Hu Yunmei's face was as black as a little cat, with black and gray stains everywhere.
Look at the stove again. It is filled with firewood without any space at all. Moreover, the firewood is wet. No wonder there is so much smoke.
Yu Chenglong quickly put out the fire, pulled Hu Yunmei out of the kitchen, and asked, "How are you? Are you okay? Where's Chang Yuhua? Why are you cooking here?"
Hu Yunmei coughed for a long time after being choked by the smoke. After she recovered, she said, "We didn't see her when we came back. I don't know where she went."
Upon hearing this, Yu Chenglong hurried to the door of Chang Yuhua's room. When he opened the door, he saw that the room was empty and none of Chang Yuhua's things were left. It was obvious that she had left.
At this moment, Yu Chenglong's face immediately turned gloomy.
Chang Yuhua actually ran away!
He took so much money and left without saying a word. That was all his money!
I don’t know how many of my secrets she has heard before. I absolutely cannot keep someone like her.
Do you think it will be okay if you run away early?
The monk can run away but the temple cannot, so she has to be dealt with no matter what.
Yu Chenglong took two deep breaths, adjusted his expression, and made himself look natural. Turning around, he saw Hu Yunmei preparing to wash vegetables. Her clumsy look showed that she had never cooked before.
At this moment, Yu Chenglong had no time to show his courtesy to Hu Yunmei. He just said perfunctorily, "I'm going to see my mother," and walked into the old lady's room.
Inside the house, the old lady was actually no longer in good health.
But she has always cherished her life. After all, she fainted and was admitted to the hospital today. No matter what, she had to lie in bed for two more days under the pretext of "recuperating".
Yu Chenglong walked to the bed and sat down, forcing a look of concern and asked, "Mom, how are you feeling?"
The old lady looked at Yu Chenglong lovingly with a gentle smile on her face.
"I'm much better now, so don't worry about me. Now that that annoying person is gone, you should spend more time with Yunmei and marry her into our family as soon as possible."
Yu Chenglong was feeling depressed, and when he heard the old lady say this, his brows unconsciously frowned.
Is now the time?
As soon as Chang Yuhua left, he married a new wife and asked his comrades to see what it looked like.
Although anyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on, it's better to keep the veil on the matter than to uncover it yourself.
But it was difficult to get angry, so he just responded calmly: "I'm glad you're okay, Yunmei's matter can't be rushed.
I'm a little tired today, so I'll go back to the house and rest for a while."
The old lady understood her son very well. After hearing what he said, she knew that her son would get annoyed if he continued, so she tactfully let him go.
Yu Chenglong had just returned to the room and lay down. Before he had time to close his eyes and relax, he suddenly heard Hu Yunmei's scream of pain outside.
Then there was a "bang" and the crisp sound of bowls and plates falling to the ground was heard.
Yu Chenglong sighed helplessly and could only get up and go to the kitchen again.
Hu Yunmei's left finger was cut by a kitchen knife, and blood was dripping down. A plate on the ground was broken into pieces, and the fragments were splattered everywhere.
Yu Chenglong felt a surge of impatience in his heart, but he still suppressed it.
He walked quickly to Hu Yunmei, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with a hint of blame and worry.
He grabbed her injured hand and said, "How can you be so careless!"
After saying that, he hurriedly took Hu Yunmei back to the room, found the medicine box, and helped Hu Yunmei bandage the wound.
Hu Yunmei felt a little embarrassed, and her eyes were slightly red.
"Jackie Chan, I'm sorry to bother you. It's all my fault that I'm clumsy and can't do anything right."
Yu Chenglong waved his hand and said soothingly, "It's okay. Go keep my mom company. I'll make some noodles and we'll have something to eat tonight."
After saying that, Yu Chenglong walked into the kitchen, cleaned up the broken plates, then lit the stove and added water to the pot while falling into deep thought.
Chang Yuhua left, but unexpectedly, in just such a short time, the family was in chaos.
But before Chang Yuhua was around, he didn't realize that life could be so messy.
Thinking of this, Yu Chenglong couldn't help but reveal a self-deprecating expression.
It's true that there has been someone doing laundry, cooking and cleaning at home for so long that I have forgotten what day it was before.
It seems that after marrying Hu Yunmei, he will have to go back to living the same life of eating in the cafeteria. This young lady has obviously never been in the kitchen, so he can't be relied on in this aspect.
Thinking of this, Yu Chenglong was a little hesitant about whether to marry Hu Yunmei.
While eating, Hu Yunmei showed good manners and the black dust on her face was cleaned off, returning to her previous clean and gentle appearance.
Yu Chenglong put his previous hesitation behind him. With such a beautiful woman and a large dowry, even if she could not do anything, he could just find her to help in the kitchen at home. What was there to worry about?
Thinking of this, Yu Chenglong became warmer towards Hu Yunmei again. He took the initiative to ask if her hand hurt and picked up her favorite dishes for her.
The old lady was very happy to see this, and her son understood her good intentions. This rich daughter-in-law couldn't escape.
From that day on, Hu Yunmei would stay at Yu's house from time to time. The neighbors all understood what the family was planning and had all kinds of opinions about it.
But these have nothing to do with Chang Yuhua, she is busy with her career.
After resting for a night in Nanjing Village, Chang Yuhua took a bus into the city, intending to go shopping.
It is the winter of 1949, and the streets and alleys of Kyoto are bustling with vendors setting up stalls one after another.
When Chang Yuhua went out, he carried a large basket on his back. Seeing that business in the city was so good, he smuggled some fist-sized apples into the basket from the space and sold them as he walked.
