The daughter-in-law of a wealthy family does not lie flat

Lu Qing was in good condition today and was able to go to the restaurant to have dinner with everyone. Since Lu Qing fell ill, Fu Yanheng went home for dinner except for work. A few days ago, Lu Qing was too weak to walk, so Fu Yanheng accompanied her to eat alone in the east wing. Today, he got off work early and went home for dinner again.

Fu Daishi was very happy and said, "Of course it is a terrible thing that Lu Qing is sick, but Yan Heng has developed a habit of going home for dinner." The third brother, Fu Junlin, also teased his eldest brother and sister-in-law for showing their affection.

Dinner was ready. Lu Qing looked at the light food that was suitable for her and said in panic, "It's enough to have dishes that I can eat. How can I let everyone eat such light food with me?"

Fu Daishi said, "It's better to eat light, and it's not just for you. In recent years, I have increasingly felt uncomfortable if I eat a little more or a little greasy dinner. Now everyone has enough food and drink, and the important thing is health. Besides, Master Fan's vegetarian dishes are also very good." Fu Junlin looked at the table, and his handsome face fell, "Dad, Mom, you can't be so partial. You can eat vegetarian food, but I can't stand eating only vegetables and mushrooms. Can you have some meat?"

Ming Sicun said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, of course, Aunt Zhang, is the pork elbow ready?" As he was talking, the maid brought a bright yellow and cloisonné blue plate to serve the dish. Opening the lid, the steaming braised pork elbow appeared. Ming Sicun said, "I know you love meat, so how can I not cook some meat? But you should eat less. I heard that many young people these days have high blood lipids or something." Fu Daishi was supposed to meet with an old friend today and didn't come back to eat. As a result, his old friend was unwell and the party didn't take place. Fu Yuanji was in a bad mood because of what happened during the day and didn't come back on the pretext of business. Gan Meng said she wanted to lose weight and didn't eat anymore. Fu Daishi watched Fu Junlin eat meat so happily and asked the maid to make a pot of Pu'er tea later.

Lu Qing picked up some green vegetables to eat, and ate some yam and taro porridge, then put down her chopsticks. When Fu Yanheng saw that she was full, he immediately put down his chopsticks and wanted to help Lu Qing back to her room. Fu Daishi looked at the young couple and smiled, thinking that maybe these mismatched mandarin ducks could become a fairy couple.

The rule of the Fu family is that children cannot leave before their parents have finished their meal. Fu Daishi saw that they were full and did not let them set the rule here. He said, "Yan Heng, you and Lu Qing go to rest. Lu Qing, don't worry about your company, just have a good rest. Your mother and I asked Lao Fan to find some high-quality bird's nests, cordyceps and other things for you. We will stew them and send them to you every day. I don't know much about these things, just tell me if you need anything."

Lu Qing said embarrassedly, "Thank you for your concern, Mom and Dad. I am much better now and will be able to go back to work soon. These supplements are hard to come by, so you should use more of them, Dad and Dad."

"Don't refuse. We have our daily food, and you are our child, daughter-in-law and daughter alike. Just eat well and keep yourself plump and healthy so your mother and I will be happy. Oh, and there will be an annual business awards ceremony next week. If you are healthy, go with Yan Heng. I have already told my subordinates. We are old too, so you and Yan Heng can go with us in the future."

Lu Qing and Yan Heng walked in the front yard of Fu's house. They felt bored lying at home these days. They felt more energetic after coming out to breathe fresh air. Lu Qing said, "Our yard is well maintained. It has both the classical charm of Chinese gardens and the spacious feeling of Western gardens. It makes me feel relaxed and happy when I walk around the house." Fu Yan Heng pretended to be casual and took Lu Qing's hand. They walked slowly in the huge garden together. Lu Qing liked it in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. For two years, she didn't dare to expect anything.

Fu Yanheng asked, "If you don't feel well at the party next week, don't force yourself." Lu Qing said, "Dad goes to this party every year, and it's a great honor for you and me to go this year. I'm basically well now, so I can go, but it'll cost you money." Fu Yanheng asked with a smile why, and Lu Qing continued, "My illness has helped me lose the five pounds that I couldn't lose all year round. It's a blessing in disguise. But those dresses don't fit anymore, and it's very expensive to ask those craftsmen to alter the clothes." Fu Yanheng said, "I can just ask the store to send new ones, why wear old ones?" Lu Qing said, "How are they old? Some of them have never been worn, and some have only been worn once or twice. We are a wealthy family, but we can't squander such resources. Haven't you heard that it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality?" Fu Yanheng said, "My dear wife is right, I'm grateful for your advice." Lu Qing spat at him, and the two continued their walk with laughter.

This scene happened to be seen by Gan Meng who lived upstairs in the west wing. "Bah, the couple are really birds of a feather, so bad." She was in a bad mood today. She called Fu Yuanji in the afternoon, and was reminded by Fu Yuanji not to act rashly, saying that the old man was a little suspicious, so she didn't dare to go downstairs for dinner. She was a little hungry at this point, so she couldn't help but go downstairs and go directly to the kitchen to find something to eat. Coincidentally, someone was still cooking in the kitchen. As soon as Gan Meng entered the kitchen, she saw the chef Lao Fan stewing the bird's nest himself, and instructing the little apprentice beside him to change the water of the sea cucumber for use tomorrow morning.

Gan Meng said, "Master Fan, that's great. I'm hungry too. Give me a bowl of bird's nest and send it up." After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Master Fan said, "I'm sorry, Second Young Madam, this bird's nest is for the First Young Madam." Gan Meng said, "You can make another one for her, you're so stubborn." Master Fan smiled and said, "This bird's nest was bought by Master Fu specifically for the First Young Madam to replenish her body. He specifically asked me to personally watch it being made and sent it up. Second Young Madam, how else can I stay here at this time? If you want to eat it, as well as the bird's nest we eat every day, I'll stew it for you now, but it will take a while to be ready."

Gan Meng suppressed his anger and said, "No, I hate eating animal saliva the most!" Then he turned and left. Everyone in the kitchen looked at each other. Just as the apprentices and servants were about to complain, Master Fan waved his hand to stop them. It is common for wealthy families to have conflicts between brothers and sisters-in-law. If you are not careful, you will get into trouble. Sure enough, Gan Meng did not go far. He listened to what they said and then left.

Master Fan personally delivered the stewed bird's nest to Lu Qing's building. Lu Qing smiled and said, "Master Fan, why did you come here by yourself? It doesn't matter who you are, just ask an apprentice to come." Old Fan put down the bird's nest and said, "This is what the master repeatedly told me to do. I must watch over it and deliver it myself when it is done. Don't let others interfere at all. Besides, I also want to come and see how you are doing."

Lu Qing said, "Master Fan, don't be polite. I'm young, so you don't need to be polite when talking to me." Lu Qing took out a few gift certificates from the cabinet and handed them to Lao Fan, "Master Fan, this is a gift certificate from a famous suit shop. I wanted to send it to you before New Year's Day, but I gave up because of my illness." Lao Fan rubbed his hands, "How can I accept this? The young lady's things must be good. I'm a cook and I don't have any occasion to wear them. I'm wasting good clothes in vain." Lu Qing said, "If you don't wear them, don't you still have your son? Don't worry, he can use them. Don't be polite."

Lao Fan carefully put the gift certificate into his pocket and went back with many thanks. His son is now also an employee of a big company. With this gift certificate, he can save a lot of money on clothes. His wife and son must be very happy. Lao Fan secretly looked at the gift certificate. It was all foreign letters. Lao Fan didn't recognize any of them. It must be a famous brand. On the way back to the kitchen, Lao Fan walked more briskly.
