Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Does Hu Yiming come to the village often?” “All the time! He’s treating me very well.”
“But, are you okay with this?”
“Of course. He might be the only person in the world who would treat me like this. If not for the illness that caused the brain injury, I would never have met such a good man. As long as he loves me, our lives will be good.”
Zhao Meilan was very pessimistic about her marriage. The Hu clan was a family of scholars. Hu Yiming might be mentally challenged now, but it didn’t mean their children would be the same. With her mother-in-law still around, she was confident that her children would get the best education and upbringing.
The lady was not someone who didn’t know how blessed she was. She had vowed to treat the elders of the Hu clan with the utmost respect in return for them treating her like a family.
There was also the fact that Zhao Meilan actually liked the pure and kind Hu Yiming.
Zhao Chuchu gently smiled. “Meilan, I will also give you a huge present during your wedding.”
“You’ve already given my family a lot of things. I’m just here to visit you today. Chuchu, thank you. I’m fortunate to have you help me so much.” Zhao Meilan was very grateful to Zhao Chuchu, even when the latter was the one who broke her father’s legs.
In the end, Zhao Chuchu healed the father’s legs, and the family even found happiness from that ordeal.
If not for Zhao Chuchu, the family would never be able to get out of the clan that had been sucking them dry like vampires and would never have found the happy life they had yearned for.
Zhao Meilan was satisfied with her life and was grateful for that.
If one day, when Zhao Chuchu needed Zhao Meilan’s help, the latter would do anything, even if it meant taking a blade into her body.
That was why Zhao Meilan didn’t even try to guess what Zhao Chuchu would give her as a wedding present. It would still be an essential gift to her, even if it were a feather.
Zhao Chuchu then asked Zhao Meilan about the tofu business and learned that Zhao Guitang had already found a small stall in the city. He was planning to move to the city shortly, away from Old Madam Ma completely.
With that, Zhao Guitang and his family would no longer cross paths with his mother’s family.
“So, are you no longer planning to sell tofu in Yongtu Town?” Zhao Chuchu asked.
“It would be bee too much for us to handle.” Zhao Meilan paused as she was a little embarrassed about that. “Also, mom’s pregnant. The town is too close to the village. We are afraid my grandma will plot something again if she learns of that.”
“Your mom’s pregnant?” That slightly caught Zhao Chuchu off guard.
Zhao Meilan nodded. “We just found out half a month ago. Dad’s super excited for the past few weeks because of that.”
“Congratulations!” Zhao Chuchu was happy for them. “Come on. Let’s head to your house. I’ll check on the baby for your mom.”
Zhao Meilan then quickly led Zhao Chuchu to her home.
Madam He wasn’t even old. She was only 31 years old. However, they were in a
period where women could become grandmothers in their 30s, which was why Zhao Guitang was extremely nervous about it.
Ever since he learned about the pregnancy, he had been doing all the chores himself and asked his wife to rest as much as possible.
“When your aunt was pregnant with Meilan, she still had to do all the heavy lifting and chores,” Zhao Guitang told Zhao Chuchu. “She almost lost her life from giving birth because of that. Now that our situation has improved, I don’t mind doing all the hard things myself. I don’t want her to risk her life like before.’
Madam, He glared at her husband and turned to Zhao Chuchu. “Your uncle is like this, always scaring himself. Look at us. We can live comfortably now. Nothing will happen to me. I also know my own body. A little work wouldn’t matter.”
“Darling, just rest, okay? Think of it as me trying to make up for the past.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? There’s nothing for you to make up. Chuchu, please help me convince your uncle. It’s like I’m in prison. I can’t even go out. I’ll go crazy if this continues.”
Zhao Chuchu was utterly speechless.
She could not believe that she suddenly had to watch a couple openly showing affection toward each other.
However, she was also happy to see the smooth relationship between the married couple.
At the very least, there were no quarrels and fights between them. Instead, their hearts were filled with understanding and love.
“Here. I’ll check your pulse for you.” Zhao Chuchu sat down on the bed, prompting Zhao Guitang to give her some space quickly.
Zhao Chuchu had a serious expression when she checked Madam He’s pulse. As Zhao Guitang was extremely nervous, he felt as if he had to gasp for air as time passed. He just kept staring at Madam He’s wrist as if he was worried that Zhao Chuchu would say something like the baby wasn’t healthy.
Since the family moved, Madam He had been living a comfortable life. Even her body and mental state were healthier now..
