Reborn in the 80s: She Rewrites Life with Radiance

Chapter 241: Love Is in the Soup

That day, Ye Hao received a call from Gu Yi."Are you calling because you miss me?"

When Ye Hao heard Gu Yi’s voice, his smile nearly reached his ears.

Ever since he woke up from hypnosis, it was always him calling Gu Yi, and she wouldn’t even answer.

Now she’s finally calling back.

"Stop being cheeky, Ye Hao, tell your mom to stop making soup for me every day."

Listening to Ye Hao’s voice, Gu Yi’s expression softened even more.

"You need to nourish yourself more now, and mom probably feels guilty for not taking care of you before. You can’t deny her this chance to make it up to you."

Ye Hao understood his mom’s mindset.

She always treated Gu Yi like a daughter.

Recently, Gu Yi was pregnant and had to attend school.

She must have endured a lot alone, without any help from the side.

Now that she can make it up to her, she would surely go all out.

"Actually, when I was alone, I lived quite comfortably, not as hard as you all imagine, okay?"

Gu Yi listened to Ye Hao’s words and recalled what Ye’s mother and Ye Qian had said.

The implication was that she had suffered alone outside.

Even though Ye Fu didn’t say anything, with all the baskets of fruits and snacks he was bringing, it was clear he thought the same.

Gu Yi couldn’t stop them; they thought she was trying to comfort them and felt the need to treat her even better.

She didn’t know what to do about it.

So Gu Yi thought it best to explain to Ye Hao and let him work things out with his family.

Actually, she really was doing fine.

"How could life be good, feeling so sad and having to take care of the baby alone?"

Just thinking about it made Ye Hao’s heart ache, and his voice lowered.

"Alright, it was really okay; I ate when I wanted, slept when I wanted, and didn’t have to think about you every day. In hindsight, that time was quite enjoyable."

Gu Yi really wasn’t just comforting them.

At that time, she was afraid if she got upset or sad, it would affect the baby’s personality.

So, she tried to reassure herself as much as possible.

Moreover, there was Jingying and the clothing factory they were going to set up to distract her.

She felt that life wasn’t as hard as imagined.

Sometimes, when Jingying’s business was good, she felt a strong sense of accomplishment.

Eventually, she concluded that a woman must have an independent job.

Even if she can’t rely on a man, she would have other means to prove herself.

Ye Hao on the other end was left speechless.

That time in his life was anything but easy.

"When we’re together, you can also eat when you want, sleep when you want, you just have to think of me every day; that’s the only hard part for you, okay?"

Ye Hao said, laughing on his side of the phone.

After Gu Yi heard this, the baby kicked her belly, seemingly happy too.

"Alright, mutual hard work is acceptable."

Gu Yi replied with a laugh.

"Yiyi, I love you. For all the mistakes in the past, I’ll spend the rest of my life making it up to you. Please don’t get tired of me, okay?"

Even though Gu Yi couldn’t see Ye Hao’s expression, listening to his words, she could tell how serious he was.

"Alright, but can you tell your mom to stop making soup for me twice a day? If it weren’t for me saying I didn’t have time to drink it in the morning, she’d probably make it three times a day."

It took Ye Hao some effort to get himself emotionally ready to express his sincere feelings to Gu Yi, hoping to touch her deeply.

But Gu Yi’s words scattered his emotions instantly.

Imagining Gu Yi helplessly watching Ye’s mother’s beaming face as she served various soups, he couldn’t help but want to laugh.

"Alright, I’ll call mom in a bit."

After chatting some more, they ended the call.

Ye Hao was smiling even after the call ended.

Thinking about Gu Yi’s troubles, he quickly called his mom.

Ye Hao explained the situation.

Ye’s mother’s first reaction was.

"Does Yiyi find the soup not to her taste?"

"No, mom, it’s not that your soup isn’t delicious; it’s just that her appetite is light now, and no matter how good the soup is, if you eat it every meal, you’d want something else for a change, right?"

Ye Hao quickly explained.

"So what should we do now? How about I make it once a day?"

Ye’s mother thought this would be a solution.

"That works too. Mom, you’ve been working hard lately."

Ye Hao thought that was fine.

"What hard work? I’m just too happy to care. Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore; I have fish soup cooking in the pot."

Ye’s mother said happily, but just thinking about the fish soup, she hung up before Ye Hao could say another word.

Ye Hao listened to the dial tone, laughing as he shook his head.

But it felt so good; his heart felt full to the brim.

That morning, Yang Lin finally got discharged from the hospital.

She and her mom took the bus back to the army base.

While Yang Lin’s mother had been fierce at the hospital, once they got to the army, with people coming and going, she remembered to uphold her identity as an educated person.

She couldn’t act like a shrew cursing on the streets.

So along the way, she greeted people with smiles.

Once entered Chen Jun’s house, her face fell.

She truly found fault everywhere.

"Xiao Lin, why don’t you come back with me?"

She still wanted to persuade Yang Lin to change her mind.

"Mom."

Yang Lin frowned and called out.

"Alright, alright, consider that I said nothing."

Seeing Yang Lin’s expression, her mom surrendered immediately.

This was Yang Lin’s mother’s first time at Chen Jun’s house.

She wanted to look around, but as soon as she got to Chen Jun’s mother’s room, she smelled something particularly unpleasant.

When she looked further into the room, Chen Jun’s mother was lying in bed, eyes open, looking at her.

Yang Lin’s mom screamed in fright.

"What’s up with you, having guests over and not saying a word, trying to scare someone?"

Hearing her mom, Yang Lin quickly came over too.

As soon as she got to the door, she smelled the unpleasant odor and quickly covered her nose.

Seeing what had scared her mom, she couldn’t help but laugh.

"Oh dear, paralyzed in bed."

Seeing Chen Jun’s mother, Yang Lin couldn’t suppress her inner delight.

It’s really karma.

Chen Jun’s mother knew when Yang Lin and her mom entered.

But she thought once they saw her condition, they would surely mock her.

She decided not to speak, hoping Yang Lin and her mom would think she wasn’t home.

Thinking once Chen Jun returned, Yang Lin wouldn’t dare confront her in front of him.

But they still ran into her.

Just as she expected, she saw the satisfaction on Yang Lin’s face as she spoke to her.

Knowing she would lose if she fought them now, Chen Jun’s mother turned her face inward instead of looking at them.

"Mom, let’s not stand here; the smell is too bad, I feel like I’m going to throw up."

Yang Lin gave Chen Jun’s mother a disdainful look and pulled her mom to the side.

"Xiao Lin, are you sure you still want to stay here even with Chen Jun’s mother like this?"

Yang Lin’s mom feared that staying there would mean serving Chen Jun’s mom, so she asked again.

"Mom, didn’t I tell you? Don’t ask, I know what I’m doing."

Yang Lin replied impatiently.

Her life was already like this; she wouldn’t let the one who wronged her off easily. As for Chen Jun’s mother, she was determined to make her beg for mercy.
