Chapter 401: Zhang Lei Takes Care of He Wenhui
The next morning, He Wenhui woke up in Zhang Lei's arms. Just as she was about to get up, the soreness in her body made her groan involuntarily.
Hearing the commotion, Zhang Lei quickly stood up and looked at He Wenhui, asking urgently, "Wenhui, are you alright? Are you okay?"
He Wenhui blushed as she listened to Zhang Lei's words. Thinking about Zhang Lei's various ways last night, she couldn't help but scold him in her heart: How can Zhang Lei have so many tricks up his sleeve?
Seeing that He Wenhui wasn't speaking, Zhang Lei assumed she was in a lot of pain and quickly said, "Don't get up yet. Tell me what's wrong. I'll have the nanny bring you breakfast later. Just stay in your room and sleep peacefully."
Hearing Zhang Lei's words, He Wenhui nodded. But feeling uncomfortable in her body, she whispered, "Zhang Lei, I need to go to the toilet."
When Zhang Lei heard He Wenhui say this, he smiled and said, "Don't move, I'll carry you over."
Hearing Zhang Lei's words, He Wenhui quickly stopped him: "No, no, I'll go by myself. It wouldn't look good if someone saw us."
Zhang Lei said with a smile, "There's nothing wrong with it, and besides, the toilet isn't far away."
When Zhang Lei carried He Wenhui to the toilet, He Wenhui saw the spacious and bright bathroom and her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Seeing that He Wenhui wasn't very good at using the toilet, Zhang Lei had no choice but to give her a live demonstration. This made He Wenhui even more embarrassed and speechless.
Zhang Lei had no choice but to come out of the bathroom and wait outside until he heard the toilet flush. Only then did he go in and carry He Wenhui back to bed.
He Wenhui lay on the bed, looking at Zhang Lei, and said, "This toilet is really nice; it doesn't even smell at all."
Hearing He Wenhui's words, Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Isn't our home nice? You can live here every day from now on, and I guarantee your life will get better every day."
Hearing Zhang Lei's words, He Wenhui felt much happier. After Zhang Lei got up and left, He Wenhui looked around the room and felt like she was dreaming.
A little while later, following Zhang Lei's instructions, the nanny brought the food to He Wenhui's room so she could eat in bed.
Looking at the food brought in and hearing the "Ninth Madam" mentioned by the nanny, He Wenhui couldn't help but ask, "Why do you call me Ninth Madam?"
The nanny looked at He Wenhui and said with a smile, "Eight wives and husbands in the family have already registered their marriages. You are the ninth, so I call you the Ninth Wife."
Upon hearing the nanny's words, He Wenhui quickly said, "No, no, no, don't call me that. Just call me by my name."
Hearing He Wenhui's words, the nanny smiled and said, "Ninth Madam is just a title, used by us servants to distinguish the ladies. If we called you by your name directly, it would be considered that we don't know the rules, so please don't make things difficult for me."
Just as the nanny finished speaking, Zhang Lei pushed the door open and walked in.
Upon seeing Zhang Lei, He Wenhui recounted what had just happened.
Zhang Lei said with a smile, "Wenhui, just let them call me that. Actually, I didn't approve of them calling me that at first, but I tried to change it for a long time, and they still couldn't get used to it. You don't know, when they first came, they called me 'Master,' which really startled me. In the end, I had no choice but to let them change their address to 'Sir.' And this is only used at home; they won't say anything inappropriate outside. Just let them call me that, and they'll get used to it eventually."
Hearing Zhang Lei's words, He Wenhui had no choice but to nod in agreement.
However, He Wenhui was still not used to being fed by others, so she quickly grabbed the chopsticks and spoon and ate by herself.
Seeing that He Wenhui was having difficulty eating by herself, Zhang Lei stepped forward, took the bowl and chopsticks, and personally fed He Wenhui.
Soon, after two days, He Wenhui gradually adapted to life in the courtyard house at No. 90.
When He Wenhui learned that someone would come to take care of her when she became pregnant, she felt happy, excited, and a little worried.
However, seeing the large bags and packages Zhang Lei was carrying, He Wenhui immediately perked up and said, "Honey, this is too much! Should we take less?"
Seeing He Wenhui's somewhat contradictory expression, Zhang Lei immediately smiled and said, "It's not much, take it all. This is for your mother, younger brother, and younger sister. Everyone needs it, otherwise they'll say I'm being biased as their brother-in-law."
Hearing Zhang Lei's teasing, He Wenhui immediately adopted the attitude of the eldest sister and said, "If anyone dares to talk nonsense, I'll take care of them for you."
Soon, the two rode their bicycles to the He family's house.
On the He family's side, under the guidance of He's mother, Yu Qiuhua, they had already tidied up the house early on.
Meanwhile, He Wentao was still complaining, "Mom, you woke us up so early. Do you think my sister will come back this early? Besides, that man ran off with my sister. What if she doesn't come back?"
Hearing He Wentao say this, He's mother, Yu Qiuhua, couldn't help but scold him, "Wentao, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by 'that man'? What do you mean by 'kidnapped'? They are your sister and your brother-in-law."
He Wenyuan also spoke up, scolding, "Wentao, how can you talk like that? Today is my sister's homecoming day, so shut your mouth right now. If you upset my brother-in-law, don't blame others if you don't get your gift."
Hearing his mother and second sister scolding him, He Wentao angrily shut his mouth.
He Wenda and He Wenhui's eyes lit up instantly when they heard about the gifts, and they quickly asked, "Second sister, what gifts do you think you and your husband will bring us? Will we each get one?"
Looking at his younger brother He Wenda and younger sister He Wenhui, He Wenyuan said happily, "You two little ones don't know yet, do you? Our brother-in-law is very rich. He'll definitely bring us lots of good things this time."
Hearing that everyone had one, the two little ones couldn't help but clap their hands happily.
Zhang Lei and He Wenhui also arrived here soon.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard He Wenyuan's voice.
He Wenyuan called into the house, "Mom, come quick! My sister and brother-in-law are back!"
Upon hearing He Wenyuan's shout, Yu Qiuhua scolded, "Wenyuan, your sister and brother-in-law are here, go and greet them, why are you shouting so loudly?"
By this time, He Wenyuan, He Wenda, He Wenhui, and the others had already run far away.
Looking at her younger siblings, He Wenhui couldn't help but ask happily, "Wenyuan, Wentao, Wenda, Wenhui, how have you been these past few days? Have you been listening to Mom? Have you been eating properly?"
Upon hearing He Wenhui's question, everyone quickly and enthusiastically answered.
He Wenyuan, ever observant, walked over to Zhang Lei and said, "Brother-in-law, let me help you with your things."
Zhang Lei looked at He Wenyuan and said with a smile, "Okay, take it home first."
He Wenyuan asked Zhang Lei in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, is there a gift for me?"
Zhang Lei looked at He Wenyuan and said with a smile, "Yes, we have everything, I guarantee you'll like it."
Hearing Zhang Lei say this, He Wenyuan happily grabbed his things and ran home.
He Wenhui then led her younger siblings home.
