The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Role Strikes Back

C132

Seeing that Zhou Yu was fine, Gu Ye took over Yueyue and let Chen Yuanyuan eat. He got the hang of feeding very quickly. Seeing how reliable Gu Ye was, Chen Yuanyuan went over and sat down to eat with Zhou Yu.
    As soon as she tasted the food, she smiled with two dimples and turned around to ask Gu Ye: "Deng Zhigao made it, right?"

    Gu Ye felt better after seeing his wife and children, and couldn't help but joked: "How much of his food did you eat? You can tell with one bite."

    Chen Yuanyuan blushed. She turned her head, lowered her eyes, and her ears flushed: "He likes to put ginger in his cooking. I can see that!"

    Gu Ye smiled, "You even know his cooking habits?"

    Chen Yuanyuan was so angry that she turned around and scolded Gu Ye. Zhou Yu quickly tried to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, Zhigao's dish is pretty good. Yuanyuan, eat more. You ate all the pig's trotters!"

    "Okay, Xiaoyu, I'll leave my chicken soup to you to nourish your body." Chen Yuanyuan placed her portion of chicken soup next to Zhou Yu.

    The woman next to him looked over, licked her dry lips, looked at her husband, lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say you would kill a chicken for me after the birth of my son? I'm afraid I won't get enough nutrition and I won't have enough milk."

    The man was watching his baby son nearby. After hearing what his wife said, he said impatiently, "Eat, eat, eat. There are only a few laying hens in the house. Who will lay eggs if you eat them? You lay eggs?"

    After he finished speaking, Zhou Yu and Chen Yuanyuan both frowned and looked over. Even the old woman who was watching over her daughter-in-law in the other bed couldn't stand it anymore: "You can't eat chickens that lay eggs. Why don't you just buy a chicken? It's not like before when we couldn't even afford food. If your wife wants to eat, why don't you just buy a chicken?"

    As she spoke, her eyes gently swept across Zhou Yu again, and she didn't like her very much either.

    It's not okay to treat this daughter-in-law badly, but it's also not okay to treat her too pampered.

    Zhou Yu didn't see the old woman's eyes, but Gu Ye noticed it. He coughed lightly, then sat on the other side, blocking the bed's view of this side.

    The man was still trying to defend himself, "I just made her egg custard. Aren't egg custard and eggs almost the same? If she ate so much, don't eat eggs next time! You're just being greedy and making everyone stare at me!"

    Perhaps he was irritated by everyone's gazes, the man's tone became more and more impatient, and finally he slammed the door and left, leaving behind the silently crying woman and the sleeping child, as well as the vague glances that drifted over.

    She felt envy and resentment. She felt that it was these people's looks that drove her husband away.

    Chen Yuanyuan looked very angry, but Zhou Yu next to her just sighed slightly and said to her softly: "Eat, it will get cold soon."

    Chen Yuanyuan whispered in Zhou Yu's ear: "How about we give her the chicken soup? I'll buy a chicken tonight and stew it and bring it to you."

    She felt sorry for the woman and saw her own shadow. Out of her instinctive sympathy for women, Chen Yuanyuan wondered whether she should help her.

    Zhou Yu shook her head, "We can just eat it by ourselves, Yuanyuan. Chicken soup tastes better when it's hot. Don't let Zhigao down. Look at your portion. I'm afraid you'll feel greasy. There's not even a speck of oil in it."
