99 Approaching

Shen Ji Pastry Shop in the county city.

Eldest Brother Shen looked anxiously at the haggard Eldest Sister-in-law Shen and scratched his head anxiously. “Dongmei, you can’t not eat anything. What’s going to happen if this continues?”

“Dalang, I… Ugh…” Sister-in-law Shen forced a smile helplessly. “It’s not that I don’t want to eat. I really can’t eat…”

“Why don’t I make some porridge?”

“Alright…” In fact, she could not guarantee that she would be able to eat it. However, when she saw the worried look in Eldest Brother Shen’s eyes, she really could not say no.

When Zhao Lanhua brought Ji Zhao into the backyard of the pastry shop, Eldest Sister-in-law Shen was barely drinking porridge. Although she had vomited after eating, she still ate some.

“Sister-in-law, do you want to try my savory crepes?” Ji Zhao smiled. “Mother has been carrying the food box in her arms. It’s still warm!”

“Thank you, Mother.” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen smiled gratefully.

“Ah Tao’s savory crepes are delicious. Try them.” Zhao Lanhua’s heart ached when she saw her haggard expression. “Eldest daughter-in-law, have you not eaten well these past few days? Why do you look so pale?”

“I vomit after eating.” Eldest Sister Shen took a bite of the crepe and smiled helplessly. “But I feel hungry after sleeping for a long time. In short, I can’t muster any energy.”

“It’ll be fine after the first three months,” Zhao Lanhua quickly comforted her.

Unexpectedly, Eldest Sister-in-law Shen ate all the savory crepes that Ji Zhao made.

“Dongmei, I have another serving. You should eat it too!” Seeing that she could eat, Eldest Brother Shen said excitedly, “Quick, eat more!”

“What about you?”

“There’s still porridge in the kitchen. I’ll go eat it later!” Without another word, Eldest Brother Shen stuffed his crepe into Eldest Sister-in-law Shen’s hand. “Mother, please take care of Dongmei for a while. I’ll go to the front of the shop.”

“Alright, go ahead!” Zhao Lanhua quickly waved her hand. “I’ll take good care of your wife. Don’t worry.”

After eating two servings of savory crepes in a row, Eldest Sister-in-law Shen felt energized.

“Eldest daughter-in-law, actually, I came to the shop today to discuss something with you,” Zhao Lanhua said directly. “It’s not easy for you to have gotten pregnant now, but there’s no one in this county who can take care of you. I’m really worried.”

“Mother, you want me to return to the village to recuperate?” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen instantly understood what she meant.

“I did think so at first, but after I discussed it with Ah Tao, she said that if I let you return to the village alone, you would definitely be unhappy. After all, you want to spend more time with Dalang, right?”

“Mother…” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen blushed shyly.

“Therefore, I thought of a compromise. I want to find an experienced maid to take care of your three meals a day. Also, there are too many taboos when a woman is pregnant, so this maid needs to have experience taking care of pregnant women.”

“When the time comes, Mother will pay for the maid! Of course, I’ll also give some money to second daughter-in-law,” Zhao Lanhua said with a smile.

“Mother, how can that do?” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen waved her hands repeatedly!

“Why not? It’s settled,” Zhao Lanhua said firmly. “Don’t you have some friendship with the manager of Hongxing Restaurant? Can you ask him to help you find an experienced maid?”

“Mother, the person that Second Manager You trusts the most is right in front of you!” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen could not help but smile.
