Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 9 Humans Have Three Urgent Needs

As soon as Xu Qingmeng brought out the finished pies, she heard Madam He praising her, "How could I know how to cook? When my husband was alive, he never let me cook a single meal. These were all made by my daughter-in-law. Don't let her plump appearance fool you; she's very fertile and has such skillful hands. That's why we decided to reopen this shop. After all, it's my husband's hard work."

"You're so lucky to have found such a good wife for Yunyi."

After all, in this era, a plump woman was considered to be fertile. When He heard the praise, He's face lit up with joy. When Xu Qingmeng heard this, she almost wanted to disappear into the ground. Her plump face instantly turned red, and she quickly carried the pie in her hand over.

"Mom, the pies are ready."

"Okay, just tell me to go get it, why do I have to run back and forth?"

Mrs. He skillfully took the pie, and then just then, another person came to buy pies. With practiced ease, she asked, "How many pies do you want?"

"One meat bun, two vegetarian buns, and three cabbage and tofu buns."

"okay."

A crowd quickly gathered around He Shi, and she turned to him and said, "Mother, the pies are all gone, but there are still about fifty buns left in the pot."

"Okay, I see."

After Xu Qingmeng went inside, people surrounded He Shi and said, "Your daughter-in-law is so fat, she's ruined your eldest son."

Upon hearing this, Madam He immediately objected, "What are you saying? My daughter-in-law is chubby because she has three good older brothers and a good father who doesn't want her to do any work. Look, the firewood in our house is delivered by her brothers in turn. Although she's from the countryside, she was spoiled growing up. Moreover, she has such good skills and is filial to me. What do you know? I think you're just jealous."

The man was taken aback by what He said, his face flushing red. "Who, who's jealous? I, I was just saying that."

"You can't say that. I'm very satisfied with my daughter-in-law. Don't talk nonsense. My Yunyi isn't that kind of person."

Mrs. He glared at the man, then went to greet the other guests.

After that person left, an older woman who was on good terms with He came over and said, "Sister-in-law He, don't be angry. She's just a gossip and can't stand seeing others do well."

"Hmph, I know, I won't stoop to her level." Madam He snorted and continued with her own business.

Xu Qingmeng listened inside, feeling a warmth in her heart. Even if the original owner of this body was not good, He Shi might have had some regrets before, but now that she has changed, she is even protecting her in every way.

After they finished getting ready, the sun was getting higher. Xiao Yunsheng and He Xiaoyunmo had already gotten up. The two of them got dressed and went to the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law, I smell the aroma of steamed buns. Are we having steamed buns again today?" Xiao Yunsheng asked expectantly.

"Hmm, have some steamed buns. Your sister-in-law also saved some meat pies for you two. Would you like to try some?"

"Yes, I want to eat. Yun Sheng loves meat the most, but Yun Sheng's favorite is still her sister-in-law."

Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "You, I think you don't like your sister-in-law, you just like the delicious food she cooks. Go wash your face and hands and get ready to eat."

Xu Qingmeng brought the porridge, flatbread, and steamed buns to the table. The two children were already eight years old and didn't need any help. However, Xu Qingmeng hadn't forgotten the big shot in the room.
Last night we agreed to improve his meals, so I made him a lean meat porridge with the pork bone broth from last night, and also steamed two egg custards.

Xu Qingmeng looked at the breakfast and thought that this should not be too much for the big boss to complain about. This could be considered as improving the big boss's meals.

Xu Qingmeng pushed open the door and saw that Gu Yunyi had already gotten up. He was wearing a white undergarment, and his thin figure seemed even taller and thinner than when he was lying down. However, after being tormented by illness for a long time, coupled with the fact that the original owner of the body had given him a potent drug, his face was as pale as paper.

He stood up shakily, leaning on the bedpost, barely able to stand; he was very weak.

Upon seeing this, Xu Qingmeng hurriedly put down the tray in her hand and rushed forward to help her.

"How did you get up? The doctor said you're still quite weak and can't get up easily. If you need anything, just call us."

Xu Qingmeng spoke with concern and gently tried to wrap her arms around his, but his arms were too thick. Embarrassed, she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground and could only gesture with her eyes for him to lie down again.

Gu Yunyi looked at her. Although Xu Qingmeng was still as plump as before, her long black hair was neatly styled and arranged, no longer as sloppy as before. She was so close to him, and he felt that she was much more pleasing to the eye than before. He could even smell a faint floral fragrance that was refreshing and calming.

It's really strange. In just the last two days, this person seems to have changed completely. And from last night until now, this person has been almost always in the kitchen. Shouldn't he be covered in the smell of cooking food?

Gu Yunyi frowned slightly, but then thought that if he could lose even more weight and maintain this weight, it wouldn't be so bad.

"What are you thinking about? Is your leg still weak?"

Xu Qingmeng wanted to help him to the bed, but seeing that he still didn't move, she decided to bend down and pick him up.

Gu Yunyi quickly stopped her, "No need, you go out first and call Yunmo over for me."

Xu Qingmeng was completely bewildered. "What do you want him to do? What can a little kid do..." She immediately realized something and stopped herself from saying anything more. Then, seeing Gu Yunyi's increasingly dark face, she gave an awkward smile.

She was being impolite and lacked tact; everyone needs to use the restroom.

Xu Qingmeng hurriedly left the room and just then saw Xiao Yunmo, who had just finished washing his face, walking over.

"Sister-in-law, did you call me?" Xiao Yunmo asked, looking at Xu Qingmeng.

"Yes, your older brother is calling you. Go in and see him."

Xu Qingmeng said somewhat awkwardly, her face flushed as she returned to the kitchen, lowered her head, and began to drink her porridge.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Are you sick? Your face is so red." Xiao Yunsheng asked worriedly.

"No, sister-in-law just ran too fast. Hurry up and eat."

"Oh oh oh, okay."

After tidying up the front, Mrs. He came in to eat. She was all smiles after making money.

"Aunt Tian from Lane 10 praised your steamed buns and flatbreads, saying she'll come back to buy more tomorrow. Sister Wang from Lane 6 also bought four flatbreads and six steamed buns after she had only bought one flatbread. It's clear they all really like them."

After a while, Xiao Yunmo came back for dinner and told He Shi that his older brother could get up by himself.

Overjoyed, Madam He clasped her hands together and bowed towards the Western Paradise. “This is truly wonderful! The master’s fortune telling was so accurate. He said back then that my Qingmeng was a lucky star for our family. Look at this, Yunyi is also getting better, and the family shop has opened. He is truly a lucky star for our Gu family. Amitabha, thank you Buddha, thank you Buddha.”
