Chapter 52: I have a problem with the White Widow

Watching the coke mixed with small bubbles flowing into the coke bottle along the bottle wall, He Yuzhu shook his head speechlessly.
"Xu Damao,

Didn’t I just tell you that it was reserved for Jie Cheng?"

"I know,

I didn’t finish my drink, so it’s a little less, just tell me whether I left any more!”

Seeing Xu Damao's matter-of-fact look, He Yuzhu didn't want to talk to him.

"Xu Damao, you are too disgusting.

You kept it, but you spit it back out after drinking it. Now the bottle is full of your saliva. What do you want Jie Cheng to do?"

"Anyway, we didn't finish it, and I left him so much. He can drink it if he wants.
Just don’t tell him.”

While the two were arguing, He Daqing and Bai Guafu walked into the room, heard their conversation and asked out of curiosity.

After he understood what happened, he also looked at Xu Damao and shook his head.
"Da Mao, you are really Xu Fugui's offspring.
It’s just as worrying.

Okay, it's just saliva, no big deal.
When you were little, you all ate from the same bowl a lot, and you drooled a lot."

When we were kids, we would let our parents chew the food into pieces and feed it to us. Can it be the same now?

Now bringing this up again is really disgusting.
Not only He Yuzhu, but even Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng felt nauseous and uncomfortable. They looked at each other with disgust.

But He Daqing didn't care about this.

Ignoring the three people's reactions,
With some curiosity, he picked up a bowl of Coke left for the couple on the table and handed it to the White Widow, then picked up another bowl and took a sip.

Then he blinked his lips, savored it for a while before making his comment.

"It's just like that, except for the smell. It's like brown sugar water, nothing else but sweet.

Don't buy this thing anymore, it's not worth it.
It’s better to buy some pears and brown sugar and make it yourself. It looks similar, but it might be sweeter.”

He Daqing is right.

To put it bluntly, Coke is just syrup water. Except for the lack of an air compressor, everything else is pretty much the same.

He Yuzhu didn't like to drink this stuff anyway, so he just followed He Daqing's advice and said,

"I understand, Dad. I won't buy it again."

"Okay, I'll talk to the old lady with your aunt Bai for a while, and you go and cook. I'm a little hungry."

After hearing what He Daqing said, He Yuzhu began to collect the bowls.
The deaf old lady glanced at the White Widow with her eyes slanted, and put on the airs of the ancestor of the courtyard.

The reason for this,

That's because from the beginning when I knew that Widow Bai wanted He Daqing to marry into the family,
The deaf old lady doesn't like this woman.

Thinking about how she had been well-fed and well-served by He Daqing over the years, and how the neighbors in the courtyard also flattered her, she must have lived a very comfortable life.

But the White Widow did this to her right away.

Isn't this like stabbing a knife in the heart?

Although He Daqing has a crush on the White Widow, Yi Zhonghai also wants to adopt Li Qingshan as his adopted son.

It would be difficult for the deaf old lady to stop this marriage.
But the day before yesterday, when He Yuzhu gave her the agreement against the White Widow for her signature, the old lady's face was filled with joy.

He kept praising He Yuzhu for a job well done.

This happened without even seeing the White Widow herself.

Now that she saw her in person, the deaf old lady didn't give her a good look. It was only with He Daqing's cover that the deaf old lady started chatting with her reluctantly.

As for what they talked about,
He Yuzhu, who had fetched water and went out to wash the dishes, was not quite sure.
All I know is that when he came back from washing the dishes and started cooking, the White Widow was forcing a smile and had a very ugly look on her face.
It was obvious that she was offended by the deaf old lady. He Yuzhu really had no sympathy for the White Widow's experience and did not ask any more questions.
I was busy making lunch.

After lunch, everyone at the table threw away their bowls and chopsticks and asked the new daughter-in-law, Bai Guafu, to boil water and wash the dishes.

He Daqing pulled He Yuzhu outside to talk.

At this time, He Daqing was very happy and said proudly,

"Zhu Zi, the old lady just spoke.
Let the past be the past. Now that we are married, let’s have a big fat boy by next year at the latest.

From now on, I want Qingshan to live in the front yard with you and Yushui.
Are you okay?

Hearing the deaf old lady asking them to have a baby,
He Yuzhu finally understood why the White Widow looked so unhappy.

You have to know that in the TV series, He Daqing followed her to Baocheng, and they didn't have any children for more than 30 years. In the end, it was Xu Damao and Yan Jiefang, the two big enemies, who took He Daqing back in order to trick Sha Zhu.

This shows that

No matter what the reason was, the White Widow just wanted to find a man to help her raise her child.
I never thought about having a child with any man other than my first husband.

Now that the deaf old lady is forced to give birth to a child, it would be strange if her complexion could be good.

As for those who are stubborn and don't give birth,

That's easier to deal with. Just kick her away. There are plenty of women with two legs anyway.

He Yuzhu recalled the time when he asked He Daqing to remarry.
He Daqing was also keen on having a son.

The deaf old lady treated the White Widow like this today. It's hard to say that his cunning father didn't add fuel to the fire.

Otherwise, the deaf old lady is so old, why would she bother to embarrass the White Widow?

But He Yuzhu was too lazy to care about these things.

Whether he had a child or not, his ultimate goal was to keep He Daqing in the Siheyuan.

It doesn't matter who this woman is.
It doesn’t matter if it’s not the White Widow, it can be anyone else, as long as the goal is achieved.

As for letting Li Qingshan live in the front yard, that was fine. Anyway, the front yard was so big that it wouldn't be too crowded for several people to sleep on it, and a 6-year-old child wouldn't be a big problem.
"No problem Dad, just let Qingshan live with me and Yushui."

"Then you stay at home and wait for a while while your aunt Bai and I go out to buy some things.

After all, we just got married, so we need some new things."

When He Yuzhu finished cooking the soup at home, He Daqing and his wife came back with a bunch of messy things including cloth.

Immediately afterwards, the father and son began to kill chickens and fish to prepare for tonight's banquet.

At this time, Xu Damao and the others gathered around again. This kid had not forgotten the question from this morning. He looked at He Daqing and asked,
"Uncle He, there's chicken and fish here, what are we going to eat tonight?"

“Just home cooking!

Roasted chicken, roasted pork elbow, braised pork, steamed carp, and some home-cooked side dishes. What do you want to eat?"

Hearing that there would be at least four main dishes tonight, Xu Damao and his friends were already quite satisfied and did not dare to make any other requests.

"That's great, Uncle He.

I have to eat a lot tonight and finish all the food you cooked."

For a chef, if diners can finish all the food he cooks, it is the greatest affirmation of himself.

Hearing Xu Damao say this, He Daqing was naturally very happy.
