The baby started crying loudly, and Sun Chan quickly rocked the baby, smiling, "It’s okay, darling, don’t cry."
The baby soon stopped crying. Yang Hongying, who was in the next room, was asleep and didn’t hear a thing.
Wang Guihua was completely stunned, being so close yet failing to react!
If the baby had fallen to the ground, it wouldn’t have been good.
Her face looked terrible as she looked at Sun Chan, not knowing what to say.
Sun Chan didn’t get angry either. She smiled and placed the baby on the bed, "Auntie, you weren’t scared, were you? The baby is fine, don’t worry." She then went back to picking green beans.
There wasn’t any intention of blaming her.
Wang Guihua breathed a sigh of relief and sat to watch the baby. She chatted with Sun Chan about some household matters and took childcare a bit more seriously. Better not have Sun Chan rescue again, right?
By the time Gu Juntao came back, Sun Chan had already finished cooking: braised meat with beans, steamed egg, and a winter melon soup.
He greeted his mother while changing his shoes, "Mom, you’re here?"
Wang Guihua responded with a mmh and showed little emotion, "I came to see things, your wife is sleeping. Wash your hands and eat."
"Alright, I’ll check on the baby first." Gu Juntao smiled, went in, picked up the baby, and entered Yang Hongying’s room.
Wang Guihua thought to herself, he said it nicely, but he’s eager to see his wife.
Sun Chan, carrying her bag, went to bid farewell to the Gu Juntao couple, "You guys eat, I have to go back now."
"Why are you leaving now? Stay and eat with us?" Gu Juntao said anxiously, "You’re not our servant, cooking for us and then leaving."
Sun Chan smiled, "I’ll go back to eat with Gu Junming, it’s time for me to leave. Otherwise, I’ll miss a bus."
Gu Juntao quickly escorted her out, waiting until Sun Chan got on the bus and left before returning.
Seeing his wife comforting the baby on the sofa and Wang Guihua sitting at the dining table waiting, she prompted him to eat immediately, "You’ve been delayed long enough, don’t starve, it’s been a busy day."
"I’m alright, Hongying, next time just eat first, don’t wait for me, or you’ll get a stomachache." He went to wash his hands.
Wang Guihua’s expression darkened, thinking to herself that Yang Hongying did nothing everyday just lying down, so why should she eat first? But feeling a bit guilty, she dared not say more. Yang Hongying avoided looking at her mother-in-law, knowing nothing she did would satisfy her.
The three of them ate at the table, now that the baby could eat a little solid food, Yang Hongying gave her some porridge.
Nannan wanted to eat the steamed egg, staring at it and babbling.
But Wang Guihua, filled with anger, lowered her eyes and ate all the steamed egg without giving any to the child. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
