70: The Soldier King's Supernatural Wife, Three Babies in One Child

When they heard about replenishing their body, Yu Qiaoying and Yao Xue both came over.

Seeing the soft and yellow flesh that looked like banana pulp, I couldn't resist the temptation. I picked up a bowl and brought it to my mouth, but I couldn't eat it.

Shi Haiyan picked up a piece of fruit pulp and ate it with relish, "Eat it quickly, this is delicious."

The two of them endured the discomfort, took a small bite, swallowed it, and their eyes brightened. Never mind the stench, it tasted really good.

Lu Chaoyan took half of it, broke off a small piece and fed it to Fu Chaoyue, "Try it. If it doesn't taste good, spit it out."

Fu Chaoyue wrinkled his nose, opened his mouth, and vomited before the fruit pulp entered his mouth, with tears in his eyes.

"Aunt Lu, I don't want to eat."

The little expression is so pitiful.

This made the four women in the yard burst into laughter.

After eating durian, it’s half past nine.

Lu Chaoyan asked Shi Haiyan and Yao Xue to pick and wash the prawns, onions, ginger and garlic, while Yu Qiaoying kneaded the dough and rolled out the dough.

She chopped the meat herself and was busy until noon. She had two full chopping boards of dumplings and there was a large bowl of stuffing left, which she saved for Xiao Ji to make more when he came back in the evening.

Lu Chaoyan made shrimp wontons for the four children separately, wrapping them in egg skins.

Fu Chaoyue ate two large bowls and wanted more, but Lu Chaoyan didn't let him eat more and gave him some fresh hawthorn fruits.

After the children are fed, it’s the adults’ turn to eat.

Yu Qiaoying looked at the dumplings with moist eyes.

In her entire life, she had never had meat dumplings made with such white bread, or even just porridge without any vegetables.

She picked up her son and ran away quietly.

When Lu Chaoyan and the others found her, she hid back home.

Shi Haiyan went to call her, but she refused to come out. It was only after Lu Chaoyan went over to scare her, saying that she would no longer treat her son's illness, that she opened the door and came to Yao Xue's house to eat dumplings.

Shi Haiyan was afraid that she would not want to eat more, so she filled a big bowl for her. Her eyes were red and she kept thanking her.

Lu Chaoyan shook her head secretly. Half of a woman’s suffering comes from the outside world, and the other half comes from rules that should not be followed.

You should be filial to your parents and parents-in-law, love your children, and be considerate to your husband, but all this should not be at the expense of your own interests. Otherwise, you will become a puppet of others, and life will be painful and miserable.

After eating dumplings, Yu Qiaoying swiftly took over the work from Shi Haiyan's hands, cleaned the kitchen and yard, and also washed the dirty clothes for Lu Yangyang and the others.

Lu Chaoyan stopped him, "Take Chaoyue back to rest, I'll wash myself."

"Doctor Lu, let me do it. You gave me so much fruit and dumplings, but you didn't let me do anything. I feel bad."

Yu Qiaoying was much more cheerful than when she came in the morning, and she spoke more fluently.

Lu Chaoyan had no shortage of food, so he didn't think it was a big deal to treat Yu Qiaoying to a meal of dumplings.

"You don't have to worry about it. We are all military families and should help each other. Take the child home and let him have a good sleep. It will be good for his illness."

The child was Yu Qiaoying's weak spot, so she nodded gratefully, "Okay, okay, I'll take him back. If you need anything from me, go call me."

"Okay, come back soon."

After Yu Qiaoying left, Lu Chaoyan washed the clothes of the three babies and took them into the space.

In the evening, when Xiao Ji came back, Shi Haiyan and Yao Xue had finished wrapping the remaining dumplings. The weather was hot now, and Xiao Ji didn't have a refrigerator, so the dumplings could not be kept.

After everything was cooked, Lu Chaoyan asked Shi Haiyan to send a pot to Yu Qiaoying's home.

When Shi Haiyan delivered it, she happened to hear Yu Qiaoying excitedly telling Fu Jianwei in the yard that she was making dumplings for Lu Chaoyan today.

She also said that she ate a lot of dumplings and fruits at their place.

I thought Fu Jianwei would be grateful when he heard it, but unexpectedly I heard Fu Jianwei scolding me.

"Yu Qiaoying, you better behave yourself. Don't be shameless and try to curry favor with others. It's embarrassing."

Yu Qiaoying was afraid of him and replied aggrievedly: "I am not trying to curry favor with Dr. Lu. I am thanking her for treating our son..."

"If you don't go and get close to them, why would they give you dumplings?"

After Fu Jianwei finished speaking, he pointed at Yu Qiaoying's face and said, "Go look in the mirror, look at your face, and then look at Dr. Lu. Are you worthy enough to play with him?"

"I……"

Yu Qiaoying was speechless. Compared with the glamorous and beautiful Dr. Lu, she was as ugly and unpresentable as the weeds in the cesspool.

Seeing that she no longer refuted him, Fu Jianwei turned around and saw Shi Haiyan standing at his door with her teeth gnashed in anger.

After the embarrassment, he said stiffly: "Take it back, my family doesn't like dumplings."

Yu Qiaoying also looked at Shi Haiyan with shame and inferiority, "Haiyan, yes, I'm sorry, you can take it back."

Shi Haiyan saw that she was afraid of Fu Jianwei, and ran back to Xiao's house in anger, unable to help but explode.

"Sister, don't send food to Yu Qiaoying anymore. Her husband doesn't know how to be grateful."

Lu Chaoyan was sitting at the table, teaching the three babies table manners. Upon hearing this, she looked over and asked, "What's wrong? What did he say?"

Shi Haiyan was annoyed. "He said Sister Qiaoying was trying to curry favor with you, and he scolded her for trying to curry favor with you."

Yao Xue scratched her head in confusion. "Don't you have to give gifts to curry favor with others? Sister Qiaoying didn't give Sister Qiaoying a gift?"

Shi Haiyan was amused by her words, "Sister Yao Xue, he said that Sister Qiaoying made dumplings for us just to curry favor with my sister, and he also complained that Sister Qiaoying was too ugly."

Lu Chaoyan smiled indifferently. She only helped Yu Qiaoying and the child out of pity for them, and she happened to be in need of food.

"Don't be angry, he doesn't want us to eat more."

Shi Haiyan said anxiously: "You treated his child, but he didn't show any reaction. And you still said this. It really pissed me off."

"I asked him for money. One thousand per acupuncture session. He doesn't owe me anything."

"But……"

"Don't worry about it, eat your dumplings quickly and make up for the lessons you missed during the day."

"Ah."

The next day, Lu Chaoyan went to Yu Qiaoying's place. She didn't dare to look up at Lu Chaoyan, nor did she dare to say much.

Lu Chaoyan didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs, but she really couldn't bear to see the short Yu Qiaoying looking so timid and helpless.

"Qiaoying, people are equal, even if it's you and your parents-in-law, your parents, or your husband and children, there is no distinction between you and them in terms of status.

If they are good to you, you should be good to them. If they are not good, you don’t have to wrong yourself. Beat them when they deserve it and scold them when they deserve it. Don’t give them face.”

Yu Qiaoying finally raised her head when she heard this strange idea for the first time.

"If outsiders knew about this, they would say I was unfilial and ignorant."

"Can other people's words keep you and your child healthy? Or can they keep you both well fed and warm? Will the shrews in your area die because of other people's opinions?"

Lu Chaoyan's question made Yu Qiaoying confused.

The shrews there have a pretty good life.

Her parents-in-law dared not even breathe in front of her.

All the money and food earned by the man were given to her for management.

The neighbors didn't dare bully their family.

Even the children are fatter than those of other families.
