Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

Uncle Ding was originally going to go too, but the experts from yesterday came to visit the animals again and brought a lot of things, so Uncle Ding had to help take care of them.

As he watched the experts staring at the pandas, musk deer, and white cranes, their jaws dropping in astonishment at the sight of them munching away, Uncle Ding felt a deep sense of satisfaction and joy.

He casually placed buckets of food into the feeding troughs, without any particular method, but these anorexic and depressed animals eagerly devoured the food. The experts were utterly baffled and questioned the meaning of life.

Could it be that they didn't raise them properly before because they didn't feed them like pigs?

Today, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan regained their energy and had a great time playing in the yard. They not only drank two large buckets of goat milk but also ate a lot of bamboo and fruit, leaving the experts amazed.

"Expert Su is truly amazing. In just one day, he has made our rare animals, which we could only watch helplessly, so healthy and energetic. I think from now on, if any animals have health problems, we should let Expert Su take care of them."

Director Liu immediately contacted his superiors to request a few hundred more meters of land, as he had a premonition that this amount of land would not be enough.

Meanwhile, Su Wanqing and Ding Xiaomei brought Zhou's mother and Gu Yuan to the hospital.

Zhou Yanshen was somewhat surprised to see his mother arrive.

When Zhou's mother saw Zhou Yanshen lying in bed, she was already used to it. Seeing that he could get out of bed and walk around, she was even less worried.

She was also straightforward and didn't beat around the bush, directly stating that she wanted to live in a house allocated by the organization.

Zhou Yanshen peeled the apple, and after he finished, he cut it into pieces and handed it to Su Wanqing before saying indifferently:

"Mother, you can't live in the apartment that the organization awarded you."

Zhou's mother looked at Zhou Yanshen in surprise: "Why? You already have one apartment, and you can't move into another one. What's the point of leaving it lying around?"

Zhou Yanshen thought for a moment and said seriously, "Didn't Aunt Xie say that she could allocate us a unit, or build an extension on our existing one? Wanqing is about to give birth, and then the family will have three more people. The current house is too small, and besides..."

He glanced at Su Wanqing, but didn't say anything. His wife had previously been thinking about planting grapes and building trellises in the yard, and had also roughly planned the children's rooms. He could sense that Wanqing felt the current house was a bit small, and she had her own renovation plans, wanting a larger toilet and bathroom.

If the authorities allow the addition of a roof, Wanqing would definitely want to expand it.

But there's no need to tell your mother these things, as it would only make her unhappy with Wanqing.

Zhou Yanshen continued, "Furthermore, I'd like to add some buildings, do some renovations, and have larger toilets and showers, as well as some storage rooms. As for your housing situation..."

He hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to solve his mother's housing problem. "Why don't you rent or buy an extra house nearby? Or our ancestors still have a few houses in Bincheng. You can live wherever you want."

Zhou's mother coughed and said reluctantly, "But I don't really want to live in any of those houses. Some are too far away and inconvenient; some are too old and some are too spacious. Most importantly, Gu Yuan has work to do after the New Year. He is a very talented person, and I don't want him to waste his time on cooking and housework."

Besides, it's too much trouble to go grocery shopping. I'd like to live closer to you, or maybe I could buy a house near you that's clean and tidy, and you wouldn't have to pay for it.

All we need is for us to come and eat two meals a day; the important thing is that the food here is really delicious.

Gu Yuan is diligent and capable, cooks well, and still has energy at night. He's like a little puppy during the day and a little wolf at night. Zhou's mother is extremely satisfied with him.

However, Gu Yuan was, after all, a cultured man. Recently, after the reform and opening up, he wanted to do some serious things, and Zhou's mother was reluctant to let Gu Yuan work so hard.

But she can't cook herself. Putting aside everything else, for some reason, the food her daughter-in-law cooks is really delicious. She misses it if she doesn't eat it for a day.

Su Wanqing: "..."

Zhou Yanshen: "..."

Alright, so that's what you were planning?

Su Wanqing said that Zhou's mother was not short of money and had several old houses in Bincheng. Why did she insist on living with Zhou Yanshen? It turned out that she wanted to freeload and did not want to do any work.

Zhou's mother's scheme was so well-thought-out that it could be heard from three streets away.

Zhou Yanshen frowned and said calmly, "Mother, you feel sorry for Gu Yuan because he's an educated person and can't cook, or doesn't have time, but I also feel sorry for Wanqing. She's about to be a mother of three, and she definitely won't have time to cook then. She'll need to rest for six months to a year after giving birth. You can't expect her to cook during her postpartum period, can you?"

Zhou's mother rolled her eyes, unconvinced:

"I know, I understand you care about your wife, but you two still need to eat, right? Anyway, I don't care who cooks, just cook a little more. It's just a matter of adding two more pairs of chopsticks. You can't refuse that, can you?"

And even if we don't come, you still need to eat, right? What's wrong with us coming to eat? I'll just buy a house near you and come over for a meal, okay? What? Can't I even eat at my son's house?

Zhou Yanshen was speechless at his mother's actions. Not to mention Zhou Yanshen, even Su Wanqing was full of admiration.

Tell me, if a mother wants to go to her son's house for a meal and doesn't do anything, what reason do you have to refuse?

However, Su Wanqing would be absolutely unwilling if Zhou's mother really wanted to freeload off her son with her in the future.

Zhou Yanshen thought for a moment, then said calmly, "Mother, since you're coming, we have no objections. Everyone welcomes you. It's just that we'll need you to take care of the children. As you know, there are three children in the family, so there will be a lot of diapers, and one person will have to be dedicated to washing them..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother immediately exploded: "What? I have to do chores just to eat your food? And you want me to wash diapers? What kind of life have I lived since I was a child? I don't even wash my own clothes, and you want me to wash your child's diapers?!"

Su Wanqing suppressed her laughter, thinking through all her sad memories before she could hold it in. She thought that Zhou Yanshen was indeed Zhou Yanshen, that he would actually reject her in this way.

Zhou's mother immediately started throwing a tantrum: "Yan Shen, my son, who brought you into this world? Even if you don't care about my contributions, you have to consider my hardships. Did you know how hard it was for me to give birth to you and raise you?"

"All I want is a ready-made meal, and you're already making demands? Are you even my son?"
