Chapter 196 - Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Too Spoiled (2/2)

“Eh, alright! Very well!” The fourth son’s wife had made thorough arrangements, and they had no reason to object.

After settling her father-in-law and mother-in-law in, Su Wenyue let Han Yu help her back to her room. By the time she got there, she was already somewhat out of breath. Now that her stomach was getting bigger and bigger, it seemed as large as that of someone about to give birth, despite being only six months along. Walking had become a struggle, and had it not been for the arrival of her parents-in-law, she really wouldn’t have wanted to put in the effort.

“Wife, you’ve worked hard. Take a good rest.” Han Yu had been persuading her not to do these things, but the wife insisted on going personally, saying it was a daughter-in-law’s heartfelt gesture. He couldn’t stop her, and didn’t want to prevent his wife from making a good impression in front of her parents. He was happy to see his wife getting along well with his parents, after all, they were only here to drop off items and wouldn’t stay many days.

To avoid worrying Su Wenyue, Han Yu took care of all the arrangements before he left for the military camp the next morning.

“Fourth daughter-in-law, you’re awake. Be careful now, you’re carrying two in your belly!”

Su Wenyue woke up intending to call someone to attend to her when she heard Mrs. Yang’s loud voice, which startled her. It reminded her that her parents-in-law had arrived the night before. However, it was quite unsettling to find them in her room so early in the morning. Although she felt her privacy was being invaded and was somewhat uncomfortable with that, if it were not for her pregnancy, even Grandma Chen and Xiao Xi would not be allowed to enter without her and Han Yu’s permission.

Even though Su Wenyue felt uncomfortable, she still wore a smile on her face: “Mother, you must have been tired from the journey yesterday. Why are you up so early? I’ll have the kitchen prepare breakfast right away, and later, I’ll have someone take you and Father to visit the town. It’s not easy to come all this way, so you should have a look around everywhere. Ideally, my husband and I should be the ones showing you around, but he has duty in the camp, and with my big stomach, it’s not easy for me to go out. So I’ll have to let the servants take you. How about I let Xiao Xi take you? She’s been living with the Han Family for a while and is also familiar with you two.”

“You’re going through a lot with the pregnancy, don’t worry about us old folks. We’ll manage just fine. I got up especially early today, killed one of the hens we brought yesterday, and made you a big pot of chicken soup. Chicken soup is very nourishing for the body,” Mrs. Yang said cheerfully, approaching Su Wenyue and touching her stomach as if it contained a golden egg.

Su Wenyue’s smile stiffened slightly: “Mother, you’ve worked hard. I have Grandma Chen and others looking after me. There’s no need to trouble yourself with these matters. You can just order the servants to do things in the kitchen.”

Grandma Chen and the others knew their place too. As the old lady insisted on entering their master’s room, it wasn’t their place to stop her. When they saw Su Wenyue get up, they quickly came over to assist her.

Mrs. Yang thought the daughter-in-law was being overindulged. When she was pregnant, she had still worked in the fields. The daughter-in-law had nothing to do and even needed assistance to dress, but as long as her son was happy to spoil her, she would not say anything to avoid being deemed a meddling old woman. As long as her daughter-in-law could give birth to a precious grandson safely, she was content. Thinking that there were two in her daughter-in-law’s belly, Mrs. Yang’s smile brightened even more.

After freshening up, Su Wenyue saw the big bowl of oily chicken soup her mother-in-law brought over. Her stomach, which had felt very hungry, suddenly lost all appetite. Yet her mother-in-law kept urging her to drink while it was hot. Thinking of her mother-in-law’s good intentions, Su Wenyue held her nose and forced the soup down, only to find that the morning sickness she hadn’t had in a while decided to strike then.
