Chapter 986: Truly an Old Fox

Du Juan, flustered and in a rush, opened the door: "Sorry, cousin, I overslept."

Chuxue smiled and pushed her into the room: "Are you feeling better?"

Du Juan's face instantly flushed red, and she stammered: "Better, much better."

Chuxue found her reaction amusing, yet suddenly felt a pang of sympathy: "Menstruation is a normal physiological response; there's no need to be embarrassed. For these few days, absolutely avoid cold water, or your period pain will worsen. Later, I'll take you to see a doctor to get some Chinese medicine to regulate your body."

Nowadays, finding a good TCM doctor is likely difficult; those with true skill are probably hidden in some remote corner. She said this merely as an excuse; when she retrieves the medicine later, she will add some space-pond water to it for Du Juan's treatment, and she believes the effect will be excellent.

Du Juan nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to my cousin."

Her eyes were brimming with tears.

Thinking back to her time in the old hometown, even if she had died from the pain, no one would have cared, and the work she was supposed to do would not have been reduced by a single bit.

Chuxue was startled: "What's wrong?"

Du Juan quickly raised her arm to wipe the tears from her eyes: "Nothing, I'm just very happy to have an aunt and all of you."

Chuxue understood everything; she was likely recalling past events. She stepped forward and patted her shoulder: "It's all in the past. From now on, this is your home. Don't keep things bottled up inside; we are all your support."

Du Juan really wanted to hug her cousin, but seeing the brand-new clothes on her cousin, she didn't dare reach out. With a thick nasal tone, she said: "Okay."

Chuxue handed her the brown sugar water she held in her other hand: "Drink this bowl of brown sugar water while it's hot; it will make you feel more comfortable."

Du Juan quickly took it: "Cousin, I'll take this to the kitchen after drinking it. You go get busy with your things."

She saw that her future brother-in-law had already been standing in the courtyard for quite a while; if she continued to be unreasonable and kept her cousin from leaving, her future brother-in-law might start having objections to her.

Chuxue indeed had other matters: "Alright then, I'll go first. There are meat buns in the kitchen; let my mom heat them up for you before you eat them."

Seeing Du Juan agree, she turned and walked out the door.

Seeing Fu Yan Cheng standing in the courtyard, she said: "Don't you find it cold? Why stand in the courtyard?"

Fu Yan Cheng had a smile on the corner of his mouth and said softly: "If I hadn't stood in the courtyard, you probably wouldn't have come out this quickly."

Chuxue didn't expect this person to be quite scheming; she thought inwardly: Truly an old fox.

After speaking, she ran back to her room.

She moved very fast; within just a few minutes, she came out again: "Let's go, we're setting off."

As she walked out, she called to Xiao Fu and Xiao Mu in the kitchen: "Mom, Dad, we're leaving."

Xiao Fu and Xiao Mu answered in unison: "Okay."

When they arrived at the Department Store Building, quite a few people were still browsing.

Their goal today was clear; the first stop was straight for the fabric section.

Previously, she had indeed purchased fabric she liked and stored it in her space, planning to make curtains later, but she hadn't done so openly.

Since Fu Yan Cheng insisted on accompanying her, she might as well buy some more fabric; after all, the military dependents' compound could use it. Later, she could just find an excuse to bring it over; it would definitely have a use.

Soon, they not only bought fabric for curtains but also purchased some small ornaments.

Seeing small chairs for sale, they bought a few as well.

She didn't know why, but seeing such small chairs made her like them immediately; thinking that her child would feel quite secure sitting on them later, her face turned red.

In her past life, she had been too fond of her best friend's child; in this life, she had long decided that after marriage, things would happen naturally, and she would strive to have a baby as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, her face turned red again.
