The president's wife with one child and five treasures is the favorite of the group

Mu Jingchen didn't ask any more, but turned his attention to the food on the table.

Now is not the time for meals. In such a short period of time, this small hotel has prepared such a sumptuous meal.

He looked at Huangfu Liyue and asked, "Do you provide meals here 24 hours a day?"

"No, when I went to the kitchen, Aunt Cheng had already prepared it. She said that I would be hungry easily during pregnancy, so I prepared food all day long."

Mu Jingchen put down his chopsticks.

"That boss seems to be too enthusiastic about you."

According to his observation these days, apart from a few residents in this hotel, there are only Cheng Cui and her son and daughter-in-law.

Although the hotel is not big, there are only three people to take care of it. It is very hard to guarantee three meals a day for the guests on weekdays, but Cheng Cui can spare time to prepare meals for Liyue 24 hours a day, which requires a lot of manpower physical resources.

He had seen Cheng Cui's meanness to other residents, and when Cheng Cui treated Li Yue in every possible way, he didn't feel grateful, but thought it was very strange.

If Cheng Cui is purely hospitable, why treat other guests differently?

Looking at his solemn expression, Huangfu Liyue knew that he was suspicious again.

"At first, I also felt strange, I have never met her before, why would she take care of me like this.

But later, Aunt Cheng told me that she once had a daughter, but for some reason, she was no longer there.

She said that if her daughter was still alive, she would be about my age, so whenever she saw me, she would think of her daughter. "

Mu Jingchen replied lightly: "Really."

The tone was like a question, but also like a response.

Huangfu Liyue took a sip of the soup, then said: "Don't you suspect there are other reasons?"

"I can't say it, I just feel weird."

Seeing him so suspicious, she chuckled.

"Aren't you happy when others treat me well?"

"There is no goodness for no reason in the world. Besides, she treats you very well."

Hearing his vigilant words, she swallowed the soup in her mouth: "Jingchen, are you thinking too much? This is my first time here, and I just met her not long ago. She won't have any plans for me, right? ?”

Mu Jingchen stopped talking and continued eating.

……

evening.

Huangfu Liyue lay at the window of the corridor, looking at the scenery in the distance.

The pleasant scenery of the ancient town always makes her feel relaxed, and she always enjoys it quietly when she has nothing to do.

When looking at the sky, she put her hands on her lower abdomen, and the beautiful picture of the birth of the child and being with other family members appeared in her mind.

"Baby, you must be born safely."

As soon as the words fell, she felt a slight squirm in her stomach, as if the child was responding to her.

For the first time in so long, she felt fetal movement.

"Baby, you heard Mommy talking, didn't you?"

She was a little delighted, and looked down at her belly with a gentle smile on her face.

Even though she already has several children, she still has endless expectations for this new life.

After staying here for a long time, she didn't plan to go back to the house until the sun went down.

But as soon as he lifted his foot, that creepy and miserable cry suddenly came.

She used to hear this cry in the middle of the night, and she was no stranger to it, but at this moment, the cry aroused her curiosity again.

While it was still early, she walked in the direction of the crying.

She went downstairs and followed the sound all the way to the woodshed of the hotel.

As the voice gradually became clearer, she finally saw the owner of the cry.

"why you?"

Seeing Wu Guixiang squatting at the door of the woodshed, she stopped.

Wu Guixiang hurriedly wiped away some tears.

"Girl, why are you here?"

"I heard someone crying, so I came over to have a look, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Wu Guixiang got up, lowered her head and apologized: "I'm sorry to disturb you, I will definitely keep my voice down next time."

"You didn't disturb me, I just happened to hear it."

Huangfu Liyue thought of how terribly she cried every night, and asked, "What wronged you to cry like this?"

Wu Guixiang lowered her head even lower, and said humbly: "It's my mother-in-law. She always sneers at me, and doesn't even treat me as a human being outside of outsiders. I think these days are too aggrieved."

"Since you are aggrieved, why do you still bear it?"

Huangfu Liyue looked at her incomprehensibly.

If it were a normal woman who suffered humiliation at her in-law's house, even if she didn't resist, she would run away quickly, right?

When she said this, Wu Guixiang cried even more sadly.

"I don't have a family, and I don't have any skills. If I leave, I don't know how to live."

"Who says you don't have any skills? Don't you know how to clean, cook and keep accounts, and you are so hardworking, you don't have to worry about finding a job."

Wu Guixiang shook her head dejectedly.

"It's useless. This ancient town is not big. No matter where I go, my mother-in-law is easy to find. She won't agree with me leaving."

"You can get out of here!"

"leave here?"

"Ah."

Huangfu Liyue looked at her cowardly expression, smiled and said: "The outside world is huge, there is always a place for you."

"outside world?"

Wu Guixiang raised her head with longing in her eyes.

She has never left here since she was a child, and she has no idea what the outside world looks like.

Huangfu Liyue handed her a tissue.

"You are still young, you always have to live for yourself."

Wu Guixiang sighed: "Forget it, what you said is not realistic at all."

She lived in the ancient town since she was a child, and the education she received was three obediences and four virtues, taking care of her husband and teaching her children. Although she longed for a free life, she didn't have the courage to take that step.

Huangfu Liyue saw her thoughts, and knew that the thoughts of the people here were deeply ingrained and difficult to change, so she gave up persuading her.

"Since you have chosen this kind of life, look away and find an opportunity to communicate with your husband and mother-in-law. Don't come here alone in the middle of the night and cry."

After speaking, she left here.

Wu Guixiang wiped away her tears, stared at her walking away, with doubts on her face: "When did I cry in the middle of the night?"

……

Huangfu Liyue returned to the room and talked to Mu Jingchen about what happened just now.

"Jingchen, I finally know whose cry I heard in the middle of the night."

Mu Jingchen put his hands on the laptop keyboard, and asked casually, "Who?"

"It's Aunt Cheng's daughter-in-law. You don't know. Aunt Cheng is kind to us, but she is very fierce to her daughter-in-law. She even beat her in front of me last time."

Huangfu Liyue came to his side and continued: "It is said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the problem of the century, but this is the first time I have seen such a bad relationship."

Mu Jingchen had no interest in these things.

He stopped the movement of his hands and stroked her belly.

"Now that you know who it is, don't deliberately get up to look at it in the middle of the night. You should pay attention to rest now, and my daughter should also rest."
