Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Strict Control

Translator: 549690339

Han Yu never truly restricted what his daughter-in-law did, just worried that she would overexert herself. After all, she was carrying a child in her stomach; how could she be burdened with so many concerns? However, seeing that his daughter-in-law looked in good spirits and was eating and drinking well, he felt somewhat relieved.

“Husband, this is something new from the kitchen. Try it and see if it’s good,” Su Wenyue placed a plate of golden pumpkin pie in front of Han Yu. These past days, Han Yu had been so busy, it was rare for him to have time at home with her. Su Wenyue pulled Han Yu to her, acting a bit clingy.

“Not bad, quite fragrant. But this thing is quite heating, so you should eat less,” said Han Yu after trying a piece of pumpkin pie. In just the short time he had been eating, Su Wenyue had already polished off two or three pieces. Han Yu signaled the servant girl to take the pumpkin pies away.

Su Wenyue watched the appetizing pumpkin pies being taken away, pouted in dissatisfaction but didn’t stop it, knowing that eating too much of something that could cause internal heat wasn’t good. However, her stomach was still empty, and she wanted to eat something, so she had the servant girl bring other cakes over.

Han Yu had been watching the whole time, and seeing his daughter-in-law finish off one basket of soup dumplings and then a plate of green bean cake, and still looking like she wanted to keep eating, he hurriedly stopped her. Earlier, he had heard from the old women that it was good that his daughter-in-law could eat so much because pregnancy required a lot of energy. But now that he saw just how much she was eating, he realized it was indeed too much. At this rate, who knew how much her stomach might grow.

“That’s enough, you’ve eaten quite a lot already, you can’t eat anymore. The doctor instructed you to eat less at each meal. Let’s go take a walk first to help digest the food you just ate,” Han Yu’s eyes flashed with worry, recalling what the doctor had said, that an oversized baby could be dangerous to his daughter-in-law. It seemed that from now on, he would have to instruct the old women to strictly control her diet and not indulge her eating habits any longer.

Su Wenyue was leaning on the lounge chair and didn’t feel like moving. As her belly grew, moving around became increasingly difficult, and she would break out into a sweat just walking a few steps, her feet sore and swollen.

“Husband, I’ve just eaten my fill, I don’t want to go; walking is so tiring,” Su Wenyue whined while pulling Han Yu’s hand. Usually, for the sake of the child, she would persist no matter how hard it was, but with Han Yu by her side, she felt much weaker and wanted to rest for a while.

But Han Yu insisted. The doctor had said daily exercise would make delivery smoother and reduce risks. He half forced Su Wenyue to get up, “My daughter-in-law, be good, we have to follow the doctor’s instructions. Just hang in there, once the baby is born, it’ll be fine.”

“But I’m really tired today,” Su Wenyue said petulantly, leaning against Han Yu.

Although Han Yu felt pity, he didn’t agree for her own good, and ended up walking her around the courtyard for half an hour before holding her and returning.

“Madam, you have already eaten enough for noon, you can’t eat anymore,” Xiao Xi saw Su Wenyue holding a plate of cakes, eating happily, and unceremoniously took it away, confiscating the sweets right in front of her.
