Chapter 343: Chapter 351: Remaining Calm and Collected

Han Yu sighed at the thought of his wife’s picky eating habits. Considering the daughters-in-law of the Village, as long as there was food to eat, they wouldn’t be choosy at all; being able to eat was good enough. Their appetites were tremendous, unlike his wife, who was picky enough, but even then, she ate so little each time, like she was eating cat food. No wonder she wasn’t putting on any weight.

Han Yu was a man of action, especially when it came to matters concerning Su Wenyue. Within a couple of days, he had procured two dairy cows for the Small Kitchen to take care of her.

“It’s only the third day since New Year’s, where did you find these? Si Ya is just a small child with a small appetite; she won’t need so much. But it’s good to save some for Brother Xing and the others to change their flavors,” Su Wenyue said, not expecting Han Yu to be so attentive and a bit curious.

“I had someone find them in nearby villages. It did take some effort. Over at Third Child’s place, I’ve already sent a sheep. Milk is really nourishing, and I’ve asked the doctor. The doctor said drinking it every day is very beneficial for your health. You’re not allowed to be capricious and refuse to drink it.”

Understanding what Han Yu meant, Su Wenyue realized his sudden change of heart in taking care of Third House’s matters was for her. It was impossible not to be moved. Actions like these weren’t nearly as easy as words. Just after New Year, the snow was still thick outside. Furthermore, cows are generally kept by wealthier farmhouses. Only a handful of families in a village would have them, and even then, it wasn’t guaranteed that they had just calved and had milk. He probably had to visit quite a number of villages to find these two.

“I know milk is good for you, and I’ll drink it. You need to drink it too. You’ve lost weight from all the busyness these past days. Drinking a bowl in the morning and evening is good for your health. Plus, milk can make a lot of delicious things. I’ll make some for you to eat later,” Su Wenyue truly felt sorry for Han Yu. At first, her attentiveness was out of guilt towards Han Yu, as well as for the sake of her family and herself, to show a good side in front of him. Now, she genuinely cared about this man. Her heart wasn’t made of wood; she could feel everything Han Yu did for her.

“Okay, I’ll drink with you,” Han Yu readily agreed, though to tell the truth, he really didn’t like drinking that stuff. For one thing, it tasted too gamey, and as a man, he felt somewhat uncomfortable drinking it. However, as long as his wife was willing to drink it, he would gulp it down even if he had to pinch his nose shut. He was actually prepared to go to great lengths to persuade his wife to drink it, and her easy agreement took him by surprise. After all, despite its health benefits, it really was quite unpalatable.

Su Wenyue didn’t know what Han Yu was thinking, but she had already thought of many ways to prepare dairy products. Just the thought of them made her mouth water. However, since it was already late, she would have to start on them the next day. She also instructed the Small Kitchen on how to properly prepare the milk so it wouldn’t taste gamey.

The next day at breakfast, Han Yu watched his wife drink a bowl of milk without needing to coax or persuade her. He nodded contentedly, but his face involuntarily stiffened when his wife brought a large bowl of milk in front of him to drink, which Su Wenyue noticed, her heart holding back a laugh.

“Husband, drink up quickly. You yourself said milk is a great thing, especially for nourishment. You’ve been working hard lately and need to replenish. It’s really tasty!” Su Wenyue deliberately elongated her tone and snuck a sly smile, much like a little fox that had stolen a taste of fish.

Seeing his wife’s playful demeanor, Han Yu couldn’t help himself and pinched his wife’s cheeks. This little rascal dared to tease him.

Ordinarily, Su Wenyue would have protested, but at this moment, she caught onto something amusing, her eyes fixed on Han Yu, “Husband, drink quickly, it’s not as good when it’s cold. Don’t tell me you’re afraid of drinking milk. If that’s the case, I need to have a serious word with you. How can a big man like you be scared of this? What happened to the bravado you usually show me?”
