Chapter 1120: There Used to Always be Honeyed Fruits

Speaking of which, Zhu Yanqiu hadnt even seen his son before. This person truly updated Ning Shus view of the world. He didnt come back when his wife was giving birth, he didnt come back when his mother died, but he came back once he achieved success. Kowtowing a couple times in front of his mothers tombstone and shredding a couple drops of catpee was enough to fulfill his filial piety?

Ning Shu carried the soup over to Mother Zhu and said, Mother, drink it while its hot.

The black soup was very bitter. Mother Zhu held her breath and drank it all. It was so bitter that her expression scrunched up. She said longingly, Back when we still lived in the large courtyard, there were always honeyed fruits to eat. Haa...

Ning Shu glanced at Mother Zhu. Honeyed fruits were even more expensive than meat. They were snacks of the rich. The current Zhu family couldnt afford honeyed fruits at all.

Mother, should Suniang buy some honeyed fruits for you? asked Ning Shu. Mother Zhu seemed tempted, but in the end, she said, Forget it. We dont have much money and we still need for medicine and to send to Yanqiu. Its not like Ill die without honeyed fruits.

Ning Shu nodded.

The next day, after Ning Shu finished selling the tofu, she headed to a sweets shop and bought some honeyed fruits. She also bought some dried walnuts for Zhu Siyuan to aid his brain development. Right now, Ning Shu just wanted to raise Zhu Siyuan until he was nice, plump, and white.

She wouldnt live more frugally just for Zhu Yanqius sake. No matter how much she scarified, Zhu Yanqiu wouldnt notice, nor would he care.

When she was buying things, she told the boss that she was buying some honeyed fruits because her mother-in-law found her medicine too bitter.

In any case, she was a hardworking, virtuous daughter-in-law, so she might as well show even more filial piety. She wanted to try some honeyed fruits as well.

After Mother Zhu finished the medicine, Ning Shu handed her some honeyed fruits. When Mother Zhu saw them, her eyes filled with pleasant surprise, but she still said, Why did you buy something this expensive? What a waste.

Mother, I know what Im doing. Todays tofu sold for a bit more, said Ning Shu mildly.

It was only after hearing this that Mother Zhu placed the honeyed fruit in her mouth. She closed her eyes, her expression was filled with reminiscent and enjoyment. Afterwards, she put the rest of the honeyed fruits away. It never occurred to her to offer Ning Shu some.

Ning Shu secretly curled her lips in disdain. Fortunately, she had already taken a portion out for the kid beforehand.

Mother Zhu was also a selfish person.

Because Mother Zhu was sick, Zhu Siyuan now slept with Ning Shu. After Ning Shu coaxed Zhu Siyuan to sleep, she sat with her legs crossed on the bed to practice the Unsurpa.s.sable Martial Arts. In this chaotic era, she needed power in order to protect herself and the child.
