Chapter 124: 124. Furthermore, making you eat vegetarian for a lifetime!

The days in postpartum confinement are dull and boring, with the space limited to the area from the bed to the other bed.

If you wipe your body a couple more times, you’ll have Saozi, your sister-in-law, and your sisters-in-law nagging at you several times a day. Washing your hair or taking a bath is out of the question.

There are at least four meals a day, and no matter how much Lianshan changes it up, it can’t alter the essence of confinement meals—soupy, low oil, and lightly salted.

Due to these restrictions, even with her husband taking meticulous care of her, Shuzhen is eagerly looking forward to the day she can be free from confinement restrictions.

She hopes to be able to shower and wash her hair soon, to get rid of that stale, sour smell.

She looks forward to being able to walk around both inside and outside the house soon, instead of being confined to this small area, eagerly waiting for Saozi, her sisters-in-law, or her sister-in-law to finish their chores so they can come and chat with her.

Of course, being able to enjoy meals with normal flavors is also something she eagerly anticipates.

After eating plain food for nearly a month, Shuzhen feels that she could drool just at the sight of small pickles like garlic eggplant, pickled cucumbers, and chili sauces.

Su Hongying scoffs at this, cleanly and straightforwardly giving her two words: you’re spoiled! Spoiled to the core, she’s said it feels like being in paradise but not realizing it. Within ten miles around, you can’t find a single confinement wife more pampered than her.

She’s eaten over ten pig trotters, more than ten pounds of bone marrow, finished off five chickens, and countless eggs in a month.

It’s just that they live in a remote area with no neighbors nearby. Otherwise, if someone jealous reported them for being a capitalist enjoying extravagance, they wouldn’t have any place to justify themselves.

Shuzhen raised her eyebrows, "I didn’t sign up for this, but what can I do when I have such a good husband who considers loving his wife as his lifelong mission! If Saozi is really envious, you should go home and train your Er-ge properly."

Su Hongying blushed and had to admit: when it comes to having thick skin, practicing for a lifetime might not match up to her sister-in-law.

However, the idea of properly training her husband seems genuinely good.

After all, as the ancients said, instead of envying the fish by the water, why not weave a net?

She knew forcing such a clean person like her sister-in-law to stay without a proper bath or hair wash for a whole month was certainly no small torture for her.

To ensure she could have a good wash after confinement, Lianshan went specially to the Su family and asked Su Yanshou, the third son and a carpenter, to make a wooden bathtub.

The two families became relatives due to Su Hongying, and Shuzhen’s indirect reminder spared the Su family from having their graves leveled. She also taught them to raise worms to feed chickens, grow mushrooms, and even grow small greens on shelves in the worm shed.

With these favors, the Su family was extremely eager to help Lianshan with anything at all.

But to mention money or materials, haha, the Eight Heroes would definitely show up, drenched with spittle, and not solve anything! Wouldn’t allow even a drop of water to go astray!

After all, even when earning money as a carpenter, you shouldn’t just take everyone’s money, right?

Raising chickens on worms doesn’t waste grain and allows the chickens to grow well and lay eggs frequently. Even the worm feces is treasured as priceless fertilizer. Growing mushrooms is as easy as picking up money, and the trick to growing small greens in the worm shed has brought no small profit.

And all this was directly and indirectly brought about by the couple.

If counted properly, shouldn’t the Su family owe him a lot?

Lianshan quickly shook his head, "There’s no need for that, after all, we’re all family. No need to make things so formal!"

"Hey buddy, since you understand that, don’t bring up money with us brothers. Double standards aren’t okay, and besides, my woodworking skills have Lightened quite a bit thanks to Shuzhen’s sister." Su Yanshou clapped his fan-like hand on Lianshan’s shoulder, almost making him stagger backward, "One family doesn’t talk about two countries; keep talking, and believe you me, brother, I’ll gather the Eight Heroes to reason with you?"

Well, that threat was quite fierce.

Having tried once before, and not planning to try again in his lifetime, Lianshan shook his head and accepted the beautiful bath bucket entirely gifted from woodworker to wood.

On the day Shuzhen completed her confinement, he woke up early, lit the fire in the stove, and made the whole room warm to ensure his beloved wife and son wouldn’t get cold before proudly bringing out the bath bucket and two large pots of hot water he’d prepared in advance.

Shuzhen, who had long been longing for a good bath, saw this and was delighted, unable to resist hugging Lianshan and giving him a hard kiss.

When a fat little lamb brings itself to your door, why let it go easily?

Lianshan quickly seized the moment when the little troublemaker thought of running away after teasing him, pulling her back into his arms for a long embrace and kiss.

Until Shuzhen’s eyes went misty, her little face turned red, and she reluctantly released him.

Faced with his wife’s full accusation, treating him as if he were a wolf, Lianshan only smiled wickedly: "Not my fault, I’m not taking the fall! The doctor said so, your body will take at least three months of nurturing, or it’ll be bad for you. I’ve been holding back, and it’s you who teased me!

You’re delivering meat to a wolf that’s been hungry for months, and yet there’s not enough, so can you blame the wolf for thinking of eating you up completely? After all, it’s a wild beast; eating meat is in its nature!"

"You say another word, go ahead, and see if the trainer changes tactics and makes the wolf eat vegetarian for life!" outraged, Shuzhen twisted the soft flesh at Lianshan’s waist. Her tone was grim, laced with threatening undertones.

Quickly raising his hands in surrender, Lianshan repeatedly admits fault, pleading with the trainer to spare him.

The young couple was tangled in playful banter, their air filled with pink, amorous bubbles.

Until the crisp cry of a baby broke the romantic scene. Shuzhen, impatiently, walked over to the grass bag on the bed corner and picked up Lian En, who was awake and, with a face flushed, wailing after wetting his diaper.

Lianshan quickly filled half a basin with warm water, skillfully washing the baby’s little bottom, changing him into clean clothes and a fresh diaper. All the while explaining, "The baby is still small, the baby is still small, controlling certain things is beyond him. This is all instinct."

His cautious manner, worried that she’d vent her anger on the child, left Shuzhen a bit helpless: she’d been determined to be a strict mom, trying hard to correct the spoiled ways of the family. Yet, why couldn’t her man ever adopt this strict education model? Look at this increasingly evident indulgent father style!

Spoiling a child is like harming him; a doting father often raises failures, dear!
