Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Chapter 239 I didn't sleep a wink all night worrying about you.

Gu Yanli frowned. "The old lady said you should use folk remedies?"

Gu Yanli felt that he didn't care about his mother's superstitious and feudal beliefs, but he absolutely couldn't let this kind of thing, which involved using unorthodox methods to harm his wife, go unpunished.

Wen Tang shook her head while sipping her milk tea, "It's not our mom, it's my mom."

Gu Yanli “…”

Oh, so it's my mother-in-law.

"You can't listen to that. Folk remedies are harmful. You're still young."

"Even if there is a problem, it must be my problem. I'm older than you."

Wen Tang smiled and said, "Hehe, you're so good to me, honey."

Gu Yanli straightened his back.

That is required.

Aside from having children, he has to be a good man in every other way.

He watched Wen Tang's eyes crinkle as she sobbed...

"What are you drinking?" he asked.

"I made some milk tea before, but I had nothing to do today, so I made some more. I just came over to ask if you wanted some?"

Gu Yanli walked over, lowered his head, and said, "Let me try it!"

-

Finally, Wen Tang, her cheeks flushed, stared at Gu Yanli and concluded, "I know, it's because you're too frivolous that you haven't been able to get pregnant."

Gu Yanli “…”

Your perspective is so novel; I never even considered it. I suspect you're trying to ruin my reputation.

“What you said hurt me deeply. I always thought I was an innocent person,” Gu Yanli said, without a trace of his innocence being ruined.

There is only a faint sense of self-consistency.

Only he knows what makes him consistent with himself.

Zhong Meixian drank her daughter-in-law's homemade milk tea again, but still couldn't sleep at night.

The next day, Zhong Meixian woke up late and said to her son, "Yanli, I didn't sleep a wink all night because of your problem!"

Gu Yanli was already quite calm. "Oh, I was so worried that I didn't go to sleep until midnight."

Zhong Meixian had her reasons for not sleeping late into the night, and so did he.

Since Wen Tang unleashed his "horse-flea" yesterday, he has been even more addicted to it last night, so Wen Tang got up later than Zhong Meixian.

It's rare for Wen Tang to work so hard, and her young body can't keep up. She can only advise, "You should still be more moderate, for the sake of the child."

"child?"

"Who is the child?" Gu Yanli asked.

Wen Tang "..."

Is this guy playing abstract concepts with me?

But she didn't dare to ask!

He could only gesture "Our child!"

"Yes, I'll start practicing moderation tomorrow!"

Wen Tang "..."

Is that what you call moderation?

You're willing but unable to do it!

Early on the tenth day, Gu Yanli packed his things and gave Wen Tang a light kiss on the head before leaving the house.

Zhong Meixian, who was no longer unable to sleep because she missed her grandson, got up early. She made breakfast and, after Gu Yanli finished eating, asked, "Did you bring everything?"

"Ok!"

Should we bring some food from home?

"Salted fish, salted meat, or peanuts..."

Gu Yanli waved his hand, "No need!"

He doesn't take anything from home; it's been his habit for years.

"Then come back and visit when you have time!"

"Oh, I see!"

Gu Yanli left, and Wen Tang stayed in bed until almost eleven o'clock before getting up.

Even so, she had dark circles under her eyes, which showed how hard she had worked.

When Wen Tang got up, Zhong Meixian was peeling peanuts.

Lin Jiaojiao was holding Jiajia and causing trouble nearby.

While brushing her teeth, Wen Tang asked Zhong Meixian, "Mom, why are you peeling peanuts at this time?"

"Oh, isn't it the Lantern Festival in a couple of days? I'll wrap them in batter and fry them for you guys to eat as a snack."

No sooner had Zhong Meixian finished speaking than someone entered the courtyard from outside.

Grandma, are you peeling peanuts?

Wen Tang spat out the toothpaste foam in her mouth, and when she looked up, she saw Wang Xiaohui walking in from outside, holding a child in one hand and carrying things in the other.

As soon as Qiuqiu entered the courtyard, she lifted her leg and ran, "Great-Grandma, Happy New Year!"

"Only ten days have passed, but Qiuqiu's speech is noticeably clearer than before the Lunar New Year."

Wang Xiaohui walked behind Qiuqiu and said with a smile, "Grandma, I wish you a belated Happy New Year." Then she added somewhat shyly, "I just got home today, so I'm late."

As she spoke, she quickly took two steps and carried the things she was carrying to the main room.

Zhong Meixian quickly stood up, "Oh, it's not too late, it's not too late."

She went inside and brought out some melon seeds and candy, putting them into Qiuqiu's pocket. Then she asked Wang Xiaohui, "Why didn't you stay at your parents' house for a couple more days?"

"I was thinking that I would have to get back to work after the Lantern Festival, so I decided to come back and tidy up first."

Zhong Meixian nodded, "That's right. Let's take advantage of the good weather to wash and dry things. We won't have time for these things once we start working."

He then pulled up a stool for Wang Xiaohui, saying, "Come on, sit down!"

Wang Xiaohui then led Qiuqiu to sit down.

Wen Tang quickly wiped her mouth clean and came over. When Qiu Qiu saw her, she immediately called out in a sweet voice, "Beautiful Grandma, Happy New Year!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Tang immediately smiled broadly, "Oh my, our Qiuqiu is so smart."

"Such a smart baby deserves a reward. Here, I'll buy you candy." Wen Tang slipped a red envelope into her pocket. (She had just taken it while putting away her toothbrush.)

Wang Xiaohui wanted to stop her, but Wen Tang spoke first, "The child has already wished me a Happy New Year, so I can't refuse this red envelope!"

Zhong Meixian also said, "It's the Lunar New Year, so we just want to have a festive atmosphere."

Wang Xiaohui didn't know what to say, so she just told Qiuqiu, "Thank you, Grandma."

Qiuqiu was very well-behaved, and her first words were, "Thank you, beautiful grandma."

Wen Tang happily gave the child two kisses.

No one was happiest to see Qiuqiu return.

The child liked to play with children who were a little older than herself, and she saw Qiuqiu bouncing around in Lin Jiaojiao's arms.

He was excitedly making "ee-ee-ya-ya" sounds.

Qiuqiu quickly extended her hand to her, "Happy New Year, little sister!"

Jiajia doesn't usually say "Happy New Year," but she got even more excited, blowing bubbles all over her mouth.

After tidying up her own yard, Gu Jinfeng came over and greeted Wang Xiaohui.

After exchanging pleasantries, he said, "I'll go cook. Xiao Hui will have lunch here."

Wang Xiaohui immediately stood up and said, "Auntie, I won't eat here. I'll go back now."

Zhong Meixian was stopped by someone who said, "What are you saying? It's the New Year, you're here now, do you think you can just leave?"

Gu Jinfeng also said, "That's right, if word gets out, people will say our family is ignorant!"

"that is!"

"Xiao Hui, you can eat here," Wen Tang said.

Wang Xiaohui then said apologetically, "I got back late. I was thinking of coming over tomorrow, but I was afraid it would be too late."

This is her explanation; she didn't deliberately time it perfectly or arrive at mealtimes on purpose.

Zhong Meixian said irritably, "Even if you came early, I can't let you go back!"

"How could a meal during the Lunar New Year possibly cause our family to suffer a financial loss?"

“That’s right!” Gu Jinfeng said with a reproachful look.

Wang Xiaohui stopped being coy and rolled up her sleeves, saying, "Auntie, I'll help you cook."

"Okay, you can be my assistant."

After lunch, Wang Xiaohui stayed at the Gu family's house until after 3 p.m. before going home.

Zhong Meixian and Gu Jinfeng asked her to stay for dinner, but this time she refused no matter what.

However, Zhong Meixian told her, "If you're not spending the Lantern Festival at the Lin family's house, come here!"
