Chapter 130: A Bit Worried
Translator: 549690339
Su Wenyue couldn’t help but find Mrs. Yang’s behavior sowhat amusing. Her mother-in-law was certainly a stubborn woman, but as Su Wenyue had already done her part, it was no longer her concern if her mother-in-law didn’t appreciate her efforts. She would never admit that her actions were deliberate; after all, she wasn’t that bad. It was absolutely impossible to discern the mother-in-law’s true intentions.
After delivering the pig’s trotters, Han Yu had already served the als and was waiting for her. Initially, Han Yu thought that, given Mrs. Yang’s earlier reaction, she would not give Su Wenyue a warm welco and intended to deliver them himself. However, he couldn’t stop his daughter-in-law from showing her filial piety. He was concerned, though, about his mother’s increasingly unpredictable temperant and worried that his daughter-in-law might be wronged. He hoped his mother would recognize the good in his daughter-in-law and rember all she had done for her. Han Yu felt that Su Wenyue had done all that she could, knowing that not every daughter-in-law would be so sincerely kind to her mother-in-law.
Between his birth mother and his daughter-in-law, Han Yu had, without realizing it, started to lean towards his daughter-in-law. It showed that Su Wenyue’s daily efforts weren’t futile, as at the very least they made Han Yu rember her goodness, and that was the most worthwhile thing.
“Daughter-in-law, you’re back, did Mother give you a hard ti?”
Han Yu pulled her over with concern, fearing that Su Wenyue might have been treated unfairly, which made her feel very heartened; it felt rewarding to know that this man recognized her efforts and genuinely cared for her.
Although Su Wenyue felt gratified inside, she had no intention of continuing with Han Yu’s line of thought, nor did she pretentiously respond with a no, acting like an understanding daughter-in-law. Instead, she looked at Han Yu with a face full of grievance.
“What do you think! Mother is truly angry this ti. I said so many nice things to appease her, but she ignored completely, with such a stern face that I felt a bit scared inside. It’s all your fault, if it wasn’t for you, Mother wouldn’t have gotten angry. Bla you, it’s all your fault!” Su Wenyue said, poking Han Yu vigorously a few tis as if venting the frustration caused by Mrs. Yang’s treatnt of her. And it was this reaction that made Han Yu feel particularly tenderhearted; if it wasn’t for her, why would his daughter-in-law endure so much?
“Alright, alright, it’s all my fault. You can take out all your grievances on , just don’t be too upset about it; that wouldn’t be worth it,” Han Yu said with increasingly accommodating tones.
Inside, Su Wenyue wasn’t angry in the slightest. After what she had experienced in her previous life, Mrs. Yang’s behavior was nothing. At most, Mrs. Yang would be uncommunicative with a stern expression, which was actually quite ‘gentle’ already. Su Wenyue was rely pretending, to make Han Yu worry and show her so extra affection, endearing herself to him. This was sothing she had to do regularly, but she knew where to draw the line, understanding that overdoing it would make her no different from a shrewish woman. So, after this little outburst, which Han Yu found quite endearing, she was looked after by him and had a comfy dinner.
Having put on an act, Su Wenyue was then pampered by Han Yu as she comfortably enjoyed her dinner.
“I want this, that…”
Since coming to the Han Family, she rarely had the chance to enjoy such a good al. Su Wenyue was quite demanding, instructing Han Yu without any reluctance. A good man, she knew, was trained, and she certainly didn’t want Han Yu to be like that other man, acting like a total patriarch, expecting her to wait on him hand and foot, which was very stifling. Moreover, it seed to her that her training was effective, as Han Yu showed real potential to beco a good man.
Han Yu was unaware of Su Wenyue’s ‘crafty’ thoughts. Seeing his daughter-in-law bossing him around in such a carefree manner, his face was full of doting affection. He was happy to spoil his daughter-in-law, and seeing her eat with such joy, he enjoyed it even more than if he were eating himself.
“Are you full?” Han Yu asked, holding his daughter-in-law who had eaten until her stomach was round, now leaning into his embrace. He didn’t ask Su Wenyue to eat more, as usual, because she had truly eaten enough for the day, several tis her normal amount of food, including quite a few greasy dishes. Han Yu worried that eating too much might upset her digestion. He even started to massage her stomach but was subtly pushed away by Su Wenyue.
Su Wenyue dared not let Han Yu randomly massage her stomach, which was carrying a precious little one. Although Han Yu was gentle in his touch, she couldn’t be completely at ease, fearing a careless move might harm the baby inside her.
Seeing Su Wenyue massaging her own stomach after warding off his hand, Han Yu thought she really must have eaten too much. So he took her for a walk, which actually helped since she had indeed overeaten. After eating so much at dinner and sleeping heavily, she often felt hungry, which had beco her most noticeable pregnancy craving. Unable to resist the sight of a table filled with delicious food, she had let herself go. After walking, though, her stomach felt much emptier, and by bedti, she was feeling hungry again.
“Daughter-in-law, what’s wrong?” Han Yu, who was preparing his hunting gear for the trip to the mountains, had returned to the room to take off his robe and go to bed. He noticed that Su Wenyue, who had appeared to be asleep, was now sitting up. Initially, he thought she needed to use the restroom, but it turned out she was hungry and wanted sothing to eat.
Normally very composed, Han Yu’s mouth twitched a bit at this point. He rembered his daughter-in-law had eaten quite a bit that evening, having already consud several tis her usual amount during dinner, and on top of that, two cakes. How could she be hungry again?
In fact, Su Wenyue had often been hungry lately, and Xiao Xi had prepared cakes for her, knowing that if the als were not to her taste, she might eat less. So it was normal for her to have so cakes to fill her stomach. But her hunger today seed especially pronounced.
“Daughter-in-law, are you really hungry again?” Han Yu asked uncertainly, afraid he had heard wrong, that his daughter-in-law couldn’t be hungry again.
“Of course I am. Hurry up and get the cakes from the cupboard,” Su Wenyue demanded urgently, her voice sounding as though she had been starving for ages. As Han Yu handed her the cakes, she began to eat them without even lifting her head.
Han Yu quickly poured a cup of water for Su Wenyue and began to pat her back gently.
“Daughter-in-law, take it easy. No one is fighting you for the food. Don’t choke. Here, have a sip of water!” Han Yu said, bringing the cup to Su Wenyue’s lips instead of handing it to her, a gesture that showed their natural intimacy.
After eating one cake, Su Wenyue felt less hungry and slowed down her eating. She chuckled to herself, realizing that her manners had been a bit rough just now.
Under normal circumstances, even with the increased appetite due to pregnancy, Su Wenyue wouldn’t get hungry so easily. Today, however, she had spent a considerable amount of energy; after dinner, she had taken a long walk, which also burned through so energy. Even after a big al, her quick digestion is why she beca hungry again so quickly.
To Han Yu, Su Wenyue’s behavior seed quite unusual, and a slight worry showed on his face, but he didn’t let it show in front of her.
Han Yu hadn’t considered the possibility of his daughter-in-law being pregnant, since pregnancies in his older sisters-in-law hadn’t co easily. Su Wenyue hadn’t been married into the family for long. He thought maybe sothing was wrong with her health. Although Doctor Lin had treated Su Wenyue when Han Yu took her to the Su Family, he was still worried, thinking that if she continued to feel this way, he would take her to The City to see another doctor.
