Chapter 66 I’m Afraid of Waging Their Appetites

She had several sets of diapers, hats, swaddles, and shoes for the baby. They were small, and these were all the ones Shen Zhiyu used when she was a child, Chen Cui Juan had kept them all. Besides baby things, there was also a mattress for Shen Zhiyu to use after she gave birth, and a very wide belt, Chen Cui Juan said it was for binding her belly after giving birth, so her belly would recover faster. A pair of cotton cloth shoes. The soles were very thick, Shen Zhiyu squeezed them, and Chen Cui Juan explained, “These shoes are for you to wear after you give birth and during your confinement period, you have to wear soft-soled shoes during confinement, otherwise your feet will hurt later.”

Shen Zhiyu and Gu Ye didn’t know about this until today, they quickly put them away, and their eyes were filled with emotion as they looked at Chen Cui Juan. After finishing a bowl of soup noodles, Chen Cui Juan’s mouth was full of oil, she smacked her lips, she was so satisfied. After she finished eating, she came to help them clean up. “There’s another pair of shoes, I made them for Gu Ye, they’re all thousand-layer sole shoes that I made myself, they’re more comfortable than leather shoes, you can wear them at home when you’re not training, for doing chores and stuff, these shoes are very durable.”

 Gu Ye didn’t expect there to be a pair for him, he was stunned, he held the cloth shoes in his hand, he was a little dazed. Seeing his expression, Shen Zhiyu knew that he had never had anyone make shoes for him in his life, besides the shoes issued by the army. She felt a little sorry for him, she nudged him with her elbow, “Mom’s shoe-making skills are amazing, they’re so comfortable to wear, try them on quickly and see if they fit.” “Okay.” The man didn’t even try them on, he just said, “They fit.” Chen Cui Juan looked at Gu Ye with eyes like she was looking at a fool, “You have to try on the shoes to know if they fit, you’re just squeezing them, you can squeeze a flower out of them.” Shen Zhiyu couldn’t help but laugh. She knew why Gu Ye was like this, so she changed the subject, “Mom, what’s this?”

 “It’s a pickle jar, didn’t you say the pickles here weren’t as good as the ones at home, Mom specially brought the pickle jar from home! You can’t buy this kind of pickle jar outside; Mom will go and pickle some pickles for you later.”

 Shen Zhiyu: “…….”

Gu Ye: “…….” He wondered why it was so heavy! It turned out that she had brought the jar from home! Then there were some pickled vegetables, dried fish, and stuff. Two whole dried fish, the fish were longer than Shen Zhiyu’s arm.

“Your father bought these fish a long time ago, he said he would dry them completely, and I would bring them over when you were about to give birth, who knew that you were having twins, twins almost always go into labor early, Mom received the letter and came over immediately, the fish weren’t completely dried yet, take them out and dry them again quickly.” Gu Ye was very perceptive, as soon as Chen Cui Juan finished speaking, he reached out and took the fish and put them out in the yard to dry. Although Chen Cui Juan had been calling him son-in-law affectionately, she actually hadn’t eaten a few meals with this son-in-law.

She didn’t know what he was really like. Now seeing him so proactive, Chen Cui Juan nodded in satisfaction, “This son-in-law is observant.” This man, he’s afraid of being blind! Whether he’s pretending to be blind or really blind, as long as he’s blind, a woman’s life won’t be good. Now seeing her daughter, who was even more beautiful than before she got married, and this clean house, and a son-in-law who was observant, Chen Cui Juan’s heart finally settled.

 Shen Zhiyu nodded, “He’s very good to me, he doesn’t let me do anything, he does all the housework, and I keep the money.” She was a little proud. Chen Cui Juan glared at her, “You’re so shameless, you can’t say that outside, okay?” Shen Zhiyu didn’t understand, but Chen Cui Juan understood very well. Some women love to covet other people’s men. Especially those men who are well-off and love their wives, I don’t know how many people are eyeing them outside. No man would covet someone’s wife because she’s too virtuous, men covet those who are pretty and have big chests. But women are more likely to covet men who are caring and take care of the family. Some women are stupid, if their own man is a little better, they will run outside and brag about how good their man is to them. Later, when their man is snatched away, they don’t even know why.

They just happened to have an extra room. When Gu Ye went to pick up Chen Cui Juan just now, Shen Zhiyu had already taken out the bedding. She had just gotten pregnant, and she thought that someone would come to take care of her later, so Gu Ye had brought this set of furniture back. Everything in the room was complete.

 A 1.5-meter double bed, a table and a chair, and a wardrobe. There was also a window in the room, it was bright, clean, and spacious, Chen Cui Juan stood in the room, she swallowed, “Goodness, I’ve never slept in such a good room before, this is all thanks to my daughter.”

 “This is nothing, when your daughter makes a lot of money later, she’ll build a brick and tile house for the family!” When Chen Cui Juan heard this, she laughed, but then she put on a stern face and said, “You’re about to be a mother, you still don’t know how to be sensible, now that you have a child, you can’t be as carefree as before, save it all, don’t spend it yourself, save it for the child.”

 “Don’t send money back home in the future, we don’t have anywhere to spend it, I brought the money you sent back, I’ll just use it here.” Chen Cui Juan knew the character of her daughter and son-in-law. She also knew that her daughter cared about her family. But for every dollar they sent back, she would have to send the same amount to Gu Ye’s family.

Chen Cui Juan didn’t say that she didn’t let Gu Ye send money to his parents, but Gu Ye’s mother wasn’t a very caring person, and there was also a pair of greedy older brother and sister-in-law at home. She was afraid that she would feed their appetites!
