Chu Qiao felt the sight of the two brothers, all children loved to eat snacks. But the current Gu Ye was in his worst situation.

When he transferred to civilian work, he was assigned to the machine tool factory, and the same unit as Gu Jianshe. However, Gu Jianshe was the deputy secretary and received the salary of cadres, but Gu Ye was only the chief of the security section. His level was lower than Gu Jianshe, so his salary was naturally lower.

In addition, the two children often went to the hospital. Every month, they lived a hard life, unable to make ends meet. Moreover, Gu Ye had always been a big spender. How could he be thrifty? Otherwise, with Gu Ye’s temper, as long as he had money in his pocket, he definitely would not just order a pot of tea.

All the snacks she ordered were delivered, and a full table was set up. She only took a piece of Shanyao cake and didn’t eat the rest. It didn’t taste good, not as good as the one she made herself.

Although she had accomplished nothing in her previous life, she was not a full-time mother for nothing. She had good cooking skills. Western food, Chinese food, Chinese and Western snacks, she could make them all. Gu Jianshe often gave gifts with the dessert she made, which saved money and saved face.

Moreover, she was also good at making herbal concoction, which use a prescription handed down by the Chu family. The Chu family was a family of traditional Chinese medicine doctors, and had handed down many prescriptions.

However, Chu Yuanzhi was a child of concubine, and had a low status. All that was passed on to him was this medical recipe. Chu Yuanzhi did not care about it at all, nor did He Jihong. In the previous life, it was in the hands of Chu Qiao.

When she had nothing to do, she studied this recipe. There were a total of 100 herbal meals. She had thoroughly studied all of them, and she also had made many innovations. She often made them for Gu Jianshe, three father-sons.

“Why don’t you eat the desserts?” Gu Jianshe’s voice interrupted Chu Qiao’s memories. She looked at the desserts with disgust and said unhappily: “they don’t taste good, so I can’t eat them.”

Gu Jianshe was so choked up that he wanted to scold people. If it didn’t taste good, why did she order so much? It wasn’t this woman’s money that was spent.

Gu Jianshe took a piece of rose crispy candy to eat. It was so sweet, so he barely ate one. He could only look at this table and felt distressed about the money he spent on it. He didn’t like sweets. Chu Qiao knew his habit, so she ordered these on purpose.

After drinking a big mouthful of tea, Gu Jianshe brought up the matter. “Aunt He told you about my situation, right? My name is Gu Jianshe, 28 years old, deputy secretary of Xingda Machine Tool Factory, and I have two sons. The eldest is eight years old and the youngest is eight months old…”

“Your youngest son is only eight months old? Where is his mother? Is she dead or divorced?” Chu Qiao interrupted Gu Jianshe’s endless talk.

Gu Jianshe’s gritted his teeth and said: “She passed away in childbirth eight months ago. Ms. Chu Qiao, this is my situation, because I’m busy with my work, I can’t take care of my family and my two children…”

“You mean to find a woman to take care of your two sons? Then why don’t you find a nanny?”

Chu Qiao interrupted again, and without looking at the man’s grim face, she said, “Your wife has just died, and she was dead because she gave birth to your child. Doesn’t it mean you have to be filial for three years? It’s been eight months only, and you’re already looking for a partner. Have you ever considered the feelings of your child? Mr. Gu Jianshe, you are so cruel to your child!”

What she said was the situation that actually happened in her previous life. After she married Gu Jianshe, the younger kid didn’t understand anything, so it was easy to deal with. But the older kid regarded her as an enemy and tried to oppose her all day long.

Gu Jianshe didn’t care about family affairs. But if his son complained about anything to him, he would definitely side with his son and scold her for not doing her duty.
