Chapter 02: Best Friend and good husbands (II)

Although she was the only one who ate dinner, Ning Chuxia was determined not to treat herself badly.

She gave herself a stew of lean meat soup with milk stewed eggs and sweet and sour ribs, and ate it to her heart's content.

One always has to fill one's stomach before going to war.

Back in her room, she continued to compile the original Chuxia's connections.

It was only nine o'clock when a noise came from outside, some distance away, like someone was turning something over.

Ning Chuxia didn't have to go out to know that it was an authority figure from this family who had arrived.

Unsurprisingly, an impatient knock had come at the door.

A thousand Hamlet's in a thousand hearts.

In Kou Junsheng's eyes, his own mother was the closest relative to his bloodline, full of consideration for him, physically fragile, needing to be provided for and nourished for years to come.

In the eyes of the original Chuxia, Kou's mother has a bad temper and only thinks of her son as a treasure, although her son has become a family man, but still insists on grasping the power of the family, not allowing anyone to interfere, but whenever there is disobedience, it can cause trouble.

And in the opinion of Ning Chuxia, this Kou mother ...

The first time I knocked on the door of my daughter-in-law's room, she had a cold look on her face and couldn't look at the sleepy daughter-in-law.

That's the time. I'm going to bed! She had just looked at the entrance, and her son's slippers were still there, so she must not have returned.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Mama Kou glared at her, "You still ask me what's wrong? Did you stew that piece of tendon meat I put in the fridge? And that rib! Do you know how much pork costs a catty now, and you eat it alone!"

Here we go again.

In Ning Chuxia's memory, similar occasions happened many times when they were just married, and Kou's mother was very strict about the ingredients in the house, making sure that only her son could eat anything expensive.

This standard applies not only to her daughter-in-law, but also to herself, who always looks at her son with such relief every time until she finishes.

At first, of course, she did not understand, and several times violated her mother-in-law's taboos, but later, after learning her lesson, she did not do such things again.

There wasn't much preaching about what kind of meat and what kind of dishes to eat anyway, and she didn't need supplemental nutrition.

"I'm the one who ate it."

"Good, you admit it, don't you?" Kou's mother was furious, "You know Junsheng goes out hard every day to earn money, this is to give him supplementary nutrition, so many dishes in the refrigerator, what do you eat not eat?"

The fact is that Kou Junsheng is not short of money, otherwise how can he do it again is to start a business, and let his wife stay at home and not go out? But no matter how much money he makes, Mama Kou's idea remains the same.

He had said twice that Kou's mother had given up after failing to convince the other party, but after all, he had a vested interest in the matter.

Ning Chuxia's brow was bowed in obedience, but her words were not obsequious: "Mother, I don't think our family is short of money for this kind of food, right? If you want some, I'll buy some later and come back."

"You're actually talking back?" Mother Kou was furious when she heard this, "You still have a point, don't you?"

She was furious that a husband who was as considerate as his son and didn't let his wife go out to work couldn't be found by a lantern! This Ning Chuxia has to know that Shifu, who used to be quite good, finally can't hold back her original form, right?

She knew it, her daughter-in-law, was no slouch!

"It's just a piece of meat...."

"Just what?" Kou's mother was furious, "How many times have you cheated like this before? What? I don't care about you anymore, right? Is there a shortage of food and drink in this house? Are you so gluttonous that you have to eat even the tonic I'm planning to give to Junsheng?"

With this sharp glance, she walked quickly to the wine cabinet in the living room, reached up on tiptoe and extended her hand to the top of it, "Look at this, what's all this filth?"

She laughed coldly, ''Junsheng is considerate of you, letting you take care of me at home, but taking care of an ancestor! Good food and lazy work."

The mother of Kou seems to be holding the switch of memory, at this time how can't remember how busy Ning Chuxia is during the day.

Ning Chuxia smiled coldly in his heart, Kou Junsheng's house, with three bedrooms and two rooms, in a total of three hundred small flat.

During the day, Ning has to clean up the house, eat three meals a day, and make regular purchases; she also has to do extra work from time to time.

This half year the health of Kou's mother improved a little bit the leisure, in her and Kou Junsheng just married, Chixia together with Kou's mother every month have to run to the hospital more than a dozen times, for medical treatment, hospitalization, physical therapy, Ning Chuxia not only has to be responsible for the transport, but also to accompany the care, she is so busy with her, not to mention the nap, but to sleep enough six hours a day are thanks to God.

She was so haggard that she almost sent herself to the hospital, but Kou Junsheng was still considerate and offered to find a nurse, after all, the family is not bad for money, but Kou's mother could not agree.

She has a theory, this before she can take care of the family, while taking care of Kou's mother and Kou Junsheng, now this family has no children, Ning Chuxia is just pretending, selling pity!

"Mom, it hurts to say that, is there less work for me to do? Now for something like that, you scold me like that." Ning Chuxia covered her face and ran into the room, threw the door shut with special force, and locked it in passing.

The soundproofing of the door was not good, and even Ning Chuxia could clearly hear Kou's mother's broken mouth outside the door.

She had a loud voice and was harshly accusing as if she didn't feel the need to use her voice at all, and she was getting more and more angry with each passing scolding.

Ning Chuxia was able to understand Kou's mother's state of mind.

The first time I saw her, my daughter-in-law would never talk back. Whenever I saw her angry, She would immediately bow her head and apologize, as if it was such a treacherous move to throw the door open and run away.

Looking at the time on his phone, Ning Chuxia smiled lightly.

This was bullied by the daughter-in-law, so the mother naturally had to complain to her son.

Kou's mother, who took her son for heaven after her husband's death, is not a patient person.

And her daughter-in-law, who has been bullied, is not going to keep everything inside like she used to.

Ning Chuxia sent a circle of friends.

"It's really tiring, exhausting to do the day's chores, ushered in or blamed, just because I cooked dinner and ate ribs and meat alone and sometimes really didn't know what was right to do."

The original Chuxia can not control her emotions in front of her friends occasionally, but she always disguises well in front of outsiders, after all, family shame can not be spread outside, and she does not want to disgrace her husband.

But now, her husband's face meant nothing to her.

…

After a romantic candlelit dinner and a small talk, Kou Junsheng and Wu He Ya finally get to the heart of the dating.

Even looking at each other with a spark in their eyes when their love for each other is strong.

Just as they rolled to make a mess, Kou Junsang's phone on the table began to vibrate wildly, making a distracting noise.

Kou Junsheng showed a look of impatience, but he could only reach out and fumble with his phone, stopping his movements at this moment.

He opened Do Not Disturb, of course, but there were still so many badly missed contacts that he put on the whitelist, just in case.

Thinking of something important, he also had to just answer the phone first.

"What's wrong?" Wu He Ya lazily got up and leaned over Kou Junsheng, "Something going on at the company?"

"What can happen in the middle of the night." He reached for his phone and froze as he saw the name displayed on it, busy picking it up, "Hello, Mother, what's up?"

As soon as this mom was mentioned, Wu He Ya immediately pulled away from Kou Junsheng.

Whenever words related to Kou Junsheng's family were mentioned, she would feel bored.

Wu He Ya leaned aside and waited for Kou Junsheng, casually picking up his phone and swiping his Weibo, bored.

"Mom, you take your time and speak slowly." Kou Junsheng frowned, ''Is there something wrong at home? And Hatsumu?"

It was hard for him to imagine anything that would make his own mother call him, after all, wasn't there still Ning Chuxia at home?

To Kou Junsheng's surprise, this time his mother called to accuse Ning Chuxia of being a daughter-in-law.

The voice of Kou's mother on the phone until now still carries a fire, the tone is very high, but I do not know if it is the emotion, or what the reason, spit out about Ning Chuxia to have a few subversive, can not hear exactly what is said.

"Good, good, I got it." Kou Junsheng could only cope with the response with some headaches.

The mother of Kou is getting older and can say a sentence four, five, six times over and over again. His usual exchanges with his mother mostly stop at eating or having a hard day, or sitting together to remember his father.

Kou's mother was furious: "You must talk about her, lawlessness! No respect for me at all! I really don't know how her family raised her to even be a good daughter-in-law!"

"Well, I'll be sure to speak well of her!" Kou Junsheng was helpless, he didn't even understand, how Ning Chuxia did something wrong.

But since he thought about it, the wife was also wrong, his mother is of an advanced age, he should also give way to the mother, cajole her, the mother is not an unreasonable person.

Kou Junsheng spoke to his mother again, before hanging up the phone and sitting up in bed again.

"Why?" Wu He Ya raised their eyes at him.

Kou Junsheng leaned over and gave her a kiss, "What about complaining with me about Chuxia, I'm not quite sure what the specifics are, we'll talk about it when we get home later."

There are priorities in this matter, and the most important thing right now is the person in front of you.

"Okay, I thought it was something big." Wu He Ya smiled and went over, reached out his hand and wrapped it around Kou Junsheng, and was about to casually put the phone aside when his body froze.

Kou Junsheng looked at Wu He Ya's hand against his chest and froze, "What's wrong?"

Wu He Ya helplessly showed the phone screen to Kou Junsheng, "Chuxia called me."

Wu He Ya indefenso mostró la pantalla del teléfono a Kou Junsheng, "Hatsumi me llamó".

"Not answer her, what does he care?" Kou Junsheng was not too impatient, and more and more felt that his wife was really in the way all the time, "You just watch me."

This is our good romantic date tonight, but both were interrupted twice.

He was going to leave his girlfriend alone and return later, pretending to be busy, but he was confused when he saw the message.

-- "Haya, I want to sleep at your house at night, why don't I wait for you at your flat? I'm so sad."

"That's enough!" Wu He Ya hastily pushed away Kou Junsheng, just this moment, a cold sweat came out.

What would Ning Chuxia have done if she had come to her office? By the time Ning Chuxia found out, she hadn't worked overtime at all and would definitely be suspicious.

"What happened to her again?"

"Chuxia said she was in a bad mood and was going to wait for me at my flat, stop it, I'll give her a call back first."

Kou Junsheng heard this answer from Wu He Ya, also immediately sobered up, how dare she stop it again?

He sat down on the other side of the bed and took a cigarette in his mouth, panting.

It used to always go smoothly on a date, how come tonight was so much of a hindrance.

That's bad luck.

…

Ning Chuxia made this call for an hour and a half before hanging up.

The middle Wu He Ya mentioned countless times that she had to go in and work overtime to try to interrupt the call.

But Ning Chuxia will always keep up with a timely sentence: "Then I won't bother you, I will leave now and go to your work to find you."

Then the call, just so naturally, went on and on.

The time on the phone, it was already eleven o'clock, Ning Chuxia didn't know if those two were still interested in continuing.

It didn't matter though, she planned to call her good husband again in a few minutes.
