[Chapter 106 Chapter 106 I was really dead before]
Shen Yuyao sat beside him and watched Cheng Liyan eat quietly. Seeing him eat with such sweetness, she felt very satisfied at that moment.
She suddenly felt that she was so stupid before.
She could obviously be living a good life, but she kept all her worries to herself every day and was even wary of her husband.
Shen Yuyao had just made up her mind that she would never do this again.
She wants to take good care of Cheng Liyan and make him strong and healthy!
She wants him to live a long life!
This way you will always have someone to rely on.
Cheng Liyan did as he promised Shen Yuyao and did not ask a single question about the source of the food.
But the next morning when he went out for exercise, Shen Yuyao found an envelope on the table in the bedroom.
There was more than a hundred yuan and a bunch of food coupons in the envelope.
The money and food coupons were all in small pieces, ranging from a few dollars to a few dimes, and even the food coupons worth one or two taels were left to her.
Shen Yuyao knew that the man was worried that she would not have enough money if she spent it that way, so he left all his business trip allowances at home.
Shen Yuyao did not refuse or explain, but put the envelope away.
Cheng Liyan came back from running and smelled a fragrant aroma as soon as he entered the door.
His heart trembled and he subconsciously looked towards the dining table.
I felt a little relieved when I saw there was only a small steel pot on the table.
He shouted loudly into the house: "Wife, what do you want to eat this morning? Why does it smell so good?"
"Chicken noodle soup." Shen Yuyao said.
As she spoke, she took out the dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen.
Cheng Liyan quickly took it.
He opened the lid of the pot and wanted to serve rice to the two people, but he was stunned when he saw what was in the pot.
He put down the bowl, silently picked something in the pot with chopsticks, and then picked out something that looked like a worm.
His eyebrows twitched.
Cheng Liyan knew that this was Cordyceps, a very expensive Chinese herbal medicine.
It was included in the prescription the doctor wrote when his father was seriously ill.
But after eating it for only two times, his father found out and replaced it.
My father said that his health is like this, so we should not waste such a good thing and leave it to those who need it more.
Cheng Liyan never thought that one day he would be able to eat this thing!
He didn't say anything, but rummaged through the chicken soup again, and then saw something that looked like a thin straw rope.
He couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"
“Dendrobium.”
Shen Yuyao did not hide it: "This chicken soup contains cordyceps, dendrobium, wolfberry and lotus seeds. Don't worry, these are warming tonics. Their main function is to replenish qi and blood, and nourish the spirit. They are most suitable for people like you who travel long distances. I won't give you random tonics."
Cheng Liyan's expression became very complicated.
Instead of serving the soup, he put the lid back on the pot and sat back.
He was silent for a while, looking a little hesitant.
It was obvious that he had something to ask, but he didn't want to break his promise.
But if I don't ask him, I'll feel uneasy.
Shen Yuyao didn't want to embarrass him, nor was she prepared to give him another chance to struggle.
She stood up and took Cheng Liyan's hand, saying, "Let's eat later. Come with me."
Cheng Liyan did not refuse and stood up with her.
Shen Yuyao took him to check all the doors and windows in the house, making sure they were closed and that the situation inside the house could not be seen from the outside.
Then she did not take Cheng Liyan into the bedroom, but into the small house where the two children had lived before.
After the children left, the room remained vacant.
Because there is a single bed, this room is the largest spacious room in their house.
Shen Yuyao took Cheng Liyan to the two long tables and said to him, "Look, this is the dowry my mother gave me."
As she spoke, a jewelry box carved with dragons and phoenixes suddenly appeared on the long table in front of them.
Cheng Liyan suddenly opened his eyes wide!
It was a double-layered jewelry box with intricate patterns carved on the mahogany box.
Not only that, the box is also inlaid with hundreds of gems of various sizes.
The most eye-catching thing is the emerald green gem on the lid of the box, which should be called jade.
It is about the size of a pigeon egg and is emerald green like a deep spring. Even someone who doesn't know much can tell at a glance that it is worth a lot of money.
In addition to this gem, there are three gems of similar texture inlaid on the outside of the jewelry box. Although they are slightly smaller than the top one, each one is definitely an extraordinary piece.
The jewelry box is not only inlaid with these four emeralds, but also with many other colored gems.
Colorful and full of jewels.
Cheng Liyan didn’t understand what those were, but each one of them was so shining.
Even under this not-too-bright light, it's still dazzling.
Shen Yuyao opened the lid of the box after he saw it clearly, and Cheng Liyan's pupils shrank immediately!
Only then did he realize that he was too shocked.
Compared with the jewellery in the box, the value of the box itself is simply not worth mentioning!
"This filigree golden phoenix hairpin was chosen for me by my mother when I was fifteen years old and had my first marriage."
Shen Yuyao picked up a hairpin made of gold wire from the jewelry box.
The hairpin was shaped like a phoenix standing on the clouds.
The entire hairpin is made of gold wire as thin as a hair.
Extremely exquisite and gorgeous.
Shen Yuyao picked up a hairpin inlaid with twelve gemstones of various colors and introduced it, "I drew this cloud-head phoenix hairpin myself. Doesn't it look good?
When it was finished, my mother also said it was beautiful, so she found the best jewelry store in Beijing and asked someone to make it for me. It was a pity that they made it too slowly, and I didn’t see it until I died.”
Having said this, Shen Yuyao paused.
She turned the hairpin around, then smiled wistfully: "Fortunately, I've seen it now, it's not too late."
"What did you say? What death?" Cheng Liyan finally spoke.
Perhaps because he was too shocked, his voice was a little tense.
Shen Yuyao raised her head, looked straight into his eyes, and said softly: "If I tell you that I have died once, will you be afraid?"
Cheng Liyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
He touched Shen Yuyao's face with his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How could you have died before? If you say so, then I don't know how many times I have died."
He paused and said self-deprecatingly, "Didn't I die again yesterday? I'm even on the death list."
Shen Yuyao knew that he was trying to liven up the atmosphere. Maybe he already sensed that something was wrong, but was unwilling to accept reality.
But now that things have come to this, Shen Yuyao doesn't want to hide it any longer.
She shook her head and said, "The death I'm talking about is different from what you're talking about. You're talking about escaping death, and what I'm talking about... is real death."
She looked Cheng Liyan in the eye again: "I really died before. I was pushed off the boat and drowned."
