Chapter 1295: Chapter 1322: Birds of a Feather 2

He Suzhi was taken aback and whispered, "Your man is really good to you."

Nianyang smiled and said, "He is very good. With him around, I don’t need to do any housework."

He Suzhi was even more surprised. In her impression, Mr. Li was very majestic and domineering, surely with a worse temper than her own husband. She thought Nianyang marrying him would mean suffering.

But now it seems, Mr. Li treats clothes like cherished children.

Nianyang’s demeanor shows it clearly: she looks well-groomed, her clothes have no scent of oil or smoke, her eyes are clear and worry-free, her fingers are white and clean — clearly pampered hands.

Comparing herself, He Suzhi was eating dumplings, and even the enticing meat had turned bitter for her.

Suddenly, He Suzhi felt that all those things she always thought were obvious seemed to be overturned a little.

"Chu Saozi, thank you for your hospitality. When we buy meat at the end of the month, I’ll invite you to my house to eat."

After eating dumplings, He Suzhi and Nianyang laughed and said goodbye.

Nianyang did not refuse and took out a big bag of brown sugar ginger tea from inside the house and stuffed it into He Suzhi’s hand, "He Saozi, take this. Boil it for yourself every day and drink for a month. You’ll be pleasantly surprised."

This is not ordinary brown sugar; Nianyang added special herbs that can dispel the cold in He Suzhi’s body.

He Suzhi looked at the brown sugar and was shocked, "Chu Saozi, take it back. How can I accept this?"

To her, brown sugar is a supplement needed by pregnant women, very important and expensive, not something she should be given.

Nianyang pressed her hand, "I’m giving it to you as a friend. If you don’t want it, I’ll be sad."

"But..." He Suzhi looked at Nianyang’s belly,

"You need it more."

Nianyang smiled, "I have plenty. All these supplements were sent by my in-laws. Feel free to eat, consider it a welcoming gift."

He Suzhi was silent for a moment and asked, "Chu Saozi, your family is actually quite affluent, right? How else could you give me something so good?"

Nianyang softly confirmed with a "Mmm," "Not exactly affluent, just enough to get by."

He Suzhi knows this is Nianyang willing to reveal her situation, a sign of trust.

She nods, "Chu Saozi, for helping me like this, I won’t spread word about it. But I can’t accept; I have nothing to give you in return."

"Let your future child call me ’aunt’ as a greeting gift," Nianyang said with a smile.

"You’re saying..." He Suzhi’s heart skipped, faintly sensing why Nianyang suddenly gave her brown sugar.

Suppressing her excitement and curiosity, she thanked Nianyang and boldly accepted it.

Then she hid the brown sugar inside her clothes and left.

As she passed the entrance to the residential area, she ran into Mei Yanfang returning with her son.

Mei Yanfang looked at her furtively, "Oh, isn’t this the hen that doesn’t lay eggs? What, been gossiping with that poor Saozi again?"

He Suzhi’s nose sweats, she didn’t respond to Mei Yanfang, keeping her head down as she walked toward her home. Mei Yanfang saw a corner bulging from her clothes and reached out, "What good stuff are you hiding?"

"Don’t touch me!" He Suzhi was scared and turned away quickly, rushed back home and closed the door.

Mei Yanfang was startled and almost fell, angrily standing at the door cursing. Her son suddenly said, "Mom, the hen that doesn’t lay eggs is eating meat, I can smell it."
