At Jia's house, the aroma of chicken soup filled the air, causing Qin Huairu to swallow involuntarily. She secretly glanced at Jia Dongxu who was eating with his head down, and seeing that he had no reaction, she turned to Jia Zhangshi next to her.

Jia Zhang was also attracted by the aroma of the chicken soup. She swallowed her saliva and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes, but she did not make a fuss. She knew that He Yuzhu would not care about her and it would be useless for her to make a fuss.

Qin Huairu was so greedy that she couldn't help it. She wanted to drink the chicken soup urgently, so she said, "I really envy Liu Xiuxiu. She can drink chicken soup before she gets pregnant. My son in my belly is hungry." As she spoke, she gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, with a motherly glow on her face.

When Jia Zhang heard Qin Huairu's words, she looked at her belly, turned around immediately and said to Jia Dongxu, "Dongxu, go and see if we can exchange a bowl of Sha Zhu's chicken soup for my grandson." Her tone was full of love for her grandson.

Jia Dongxu didn't want to go at first, he felt that it was inappropriate to do so. However, when he saw Qin Huairu's expectant eyes and slightly bulging belly, his heart softened. He stood up, took out some money from the house, and walked out of the house.

He came to the door of He Yuzhu's house and stood there for a while, as if hesitating whether to knock on the door. Finally, he raised his hand and knocked on the door gently. His heart was full of uneasiness and expectation, not knowing what would happen next.

The knock on the door sounded in the silent night, and Jia Dongxu quietly waited for He Yuzhu's response. In his heart, he hoped that He Yuzhu would agree to change the chicken soup, but he was also worried that he would refuse. This complicated feeling made him feel a little uneasy, but he still firmly waited for the result to come.

He Yuzhu was sitting at the table eating when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He put down the bowl in his hand and stood up to open the door. When the door opened, it was Jia Dongxu standing outside. He Yuzhu looked at Jia Dongxu and couldn't help feeling dissatisfied. Because of Qin Huairu's instigation, he also had some complaints about Jia Dongxu. So, his tone was not friendly and he asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

Jia Dongxu did not notice He Yuzhu's tone. He stood at the door a little uncomfortably, rubbing his hands and said, "Silly Zhu, look, can I pay you for a bowl of chicken soup?" As he said that, he raised his head and looked at He Yuzhu with expectant eyes.

He Yuzhu frowned slightly when he heard this. He didn't want to give Jia Dongxu chicken soup, because in his opinion, this bowl of chicken soup would eventually end up in Qin Huairu's belly. If Qin Huairu wasn't pregnant, Jia Dongxu would have a chance to drink this chicken soup. Thinking of this, he was even more reluctant to change the chicken soup.

Seeing that He Yuzhu hadn't said anything, Jia Dongxu also understood that He Yuzhu might not be happy to change the chicken soup. So, he said, "It's okay if it's not enough. I can buy it another day."

When He Yuzhu heard Jia Dongxu say this, he hesitated. He knew that he shouldn't complain about Jia Dongxu, but he still couldn't forget Qin Huairu's bullying of his wife. For a moment, he fell into deep thought, not knowing how to respond to Jia Dongxu's request.

Just when He Yuzhu and Jia Dongxu were at a stalemate, Liu Xiuxiu came over, carefully holding a bowl of steaming chicken soup in her hands, with a gentle smile on her face.

She knew that He Yuzhu had a good relationship with Jia Dongxu. Now He Yuzhu did not directly agree to Jia Dongxu's request because of her own reasons. She didn't want any rift between them.

He Yuzhu turned around and saw the chicken soup in Liu Xiuxiu's hand, and immediately understood her intention. A warm feeling welled up in his heart, and he looked at Liu Xiuxiu with gratitude.

Then, he took the chicken soup from Liu Xiuxiu's hand, turned around and said to Jia Dongxu, "Brother Dongxu, this bowl of chicken soup is for you. I didn't give you any chicken, so you don't have to pay."

When Jia Dongxu heard what He Yuzhu said, he was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face. He quickly took the chicken soup handed over by He Yuzhu. The chicken soup in the bowl still exuded an attractive aroma, which instantly made him happy.

He said, "Thank you, Shazhu. I'll wash the dishes tomorrow and bring them to you." He took out two dimes from his pocket and handed them to He Yuzhu. He explained, "Chickens are hard to buy now. You can't buy them even if you have money. Please keep these two dimes as a token of my appreciation."

He Yuzhu frowned slightly when he saw the money Jia Dongxu handed over, but he also understood Jia Dongxu's insistence. So he took the money and nodded gently, indicating that he accepted the gift.

During the whole process, Liu Xiuxiu stood by and watched the two men with a smile. She saw that her actions had made the atmosphere between the two men more harmonious, and she felt a little satisfied.

After Jia Dongxu left, He Yuzhu closed the door, turned around and pulled Liu Xiuxiu back to the table. With a serious and determined expression on his face, he said to Liu Xiuxiu:

"You don't have to care about my feelings in the future. We can choose not to give our own things. You don't have to care about other people's words." When he said this, his tone revealed his consideration for Liu Xiuxiu.

Liu Xiuxiu felt very warm in her heart when she heard what He Yuzhu said. She smiled at He Yuzhu soothingly and said softly, "I don't feel wronged. I just heard you say before that Jia Dongxu is a good person. We shouldn't have any opinions about him because of Qin Huairu."

After saying that, Liu Xiuxiu paused for a moment, then continued to look at He Yuzhu tenderly and said, "I don't want you to become unlike yourself because of me. Besides, I don't feel wronged. These few days have been the happiest time of my life."

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Xiuxiu and made up his mind that he would be extra nice to Liu Xiuxiu in the future and not let her be so moved by a few small things in the past few days and think that this was the happiest thing in her life.
