Chapter 88 Ask for clarification
Chen Zhiben was not a very dull person, especially he himself understood how he felt about Xu Shuhe now, that is, he liked her and wanted to be close to her.

In this way, he gradually realized that Xu Shuhe was avoiding him.

However, because Li Mingzhu informed Chen Huaiqian and Feng about his booming private business, Chen Huaiqian began to go to the store more frequently again during this period. He also kept an eye on Chen Zhi from time to time, asking him to work hard to contribute to the Chen family's business.

Plus he has his own businesses to take care of.

This left Chen Zhi with no time to spare.

Even if he noticed that Xu Shuhe was avoiding him, he rarely found the time to catch him.

This made Chen Zhi feel a little annoyed.

I was thinking that my previous actions must have been correct.

He bought all the popular storybooks on the market that women loved to read and studied them.

Gentle, considerate, delicate and intimate, these are the qualities of a good husband in the minds of girls.

Besides, he also did a lot of other things, such as wiping hair, picking up food, peeling eggs, peeling shrimps, fanning people, serving tea, holding and supporting people to prevent them from getting tired, and also putting on shoes and tying belts.

Even Chen Zhi himself was embarrassed to say that he was somewhat of a prostitute.

You could say Xu Shuhe didn't like it, but the way she blushed and stole glances at him didn't seem like she didn't like it.

Then why hide?
He lived in confusion in his previous life and died in frustration. In this life, Chen Zhi doesn't want to be a confused ghost.

He planned to ask directly.

But Xu Shuhe's plan was one step ahead of him.

Chen Zhi was still in the store when Meixiang came over to deliver a message, saying that the young lady's mother was ill and there was no one to take care of her, so the young lady had to go back to the Xu family to take care of her.

"My mother-in-law is sick?" Chen Zhi frowned. "Why did she suddenly get sick? Is it serious?"

Meixiang shook her head. "The news just came in that her old illness had recurred, but we don't know how serious it is. The young lady is very worried, so she informed the lady at home and took Xinyue away. I came here to tell you, young master, that I will also go to the young lady's place to serve her immediately."

Hearing this, Chen Zhi's eyes moved, and after a moment he spoke in a deep voice.

"My mother-in-law is ill, and I should go visit her. I'll go with you."

"Master, that's true, but Madam Young has told me to give this to you." Mei Xiang pulled out a booklet from her bosom, "She said it was some kind of commercial secret, and I don't understand."

Chen Zhi took it, opened it and took a look.

It contains a plan for the development of the industry in the near future, as well as various promotional activities to attract customers.

They are indeed good things that make people's eyes shine.

If it were any other time, Chen Zhi would have immediately taken the booklet, studied it, and then implemented it, but now.
Looking at this booklet, Chen Zhi became even angrier.

At this moment, he was like Sherlock Holmes, and he immediately realized that Xu Shuhe wanted to use business to tie him down and prevent him from looking for her.

Do you really want to hide?
Chen Zhi lowered his eyes to hide the cold light in them.

Could it be that he was really being too sentimental?

The so-called husband and wife being of one mind and treating each other as equals were all his thoughts. In Xu Shuhe's mind, he only thought about doing business and making money.

"Okay, I got it." Chen Zhi put the book away and said, "Tell the young lady that if she needs anything, send someone to inform me immediately. I've been busy these days, and I'll visit my mother-in-law when I have time."

Meixiang responded and left quickly. Xu's house.

At this moment, Zheng was holding Xu Shuhe's hand and talking.

"My child, I love to cough in late summer and early autumn. This is an old problem for many years. Why do I need you to come back to take care of me? I'm not afraid that your in-laws will be unhappy."

"I am your only daughter. If I don't come back, who will take care of you? My in-laws should also understand. Besides." Xu Shuhe sighed and leaned her head on Zheng's shoulder. "My mother-in-law is my stepmother. I have never gotten along with her. No matter what I do, I will be criticized. It's better to do what I want."

Hearing this, Zheng couldn't help but feel distressed.

She patted her daughter's head and said softly, "That's true. You are my only precious child, and I will never let anyone bully you. But although it's good for you to come back, it's not convenient for you to stay for long. You should go back in two days. Sanlang also needs someone to take care of him."

Xu Shuhe understood what she meant.

Women of this era were taught from childhood that the husband is the head of the wife and that they should obey their husbands. Naturally, in Zheng's mind, even if she had to honor her parents, she had to remember her husband.

So Xu Shuhe comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. My husband and I have already said that he is kind and kind, and is filial to you. Please don't chase me away. Let your daughter stay for a few more days. It's rare for her to come back!"

"Okay, okay, mom will cook for you some of your favorite dishes tonight!"

Faced with her daughter's coquettish behavior, Zheng was reluctant to ask her to go back to her husband's home earlier. She just hugged her and patted her gently as if coaxing a child.

Then, under the pretext of returning to her parents' home to take care of her illness, Xu Shuhe lived comfortably in her parents' home.

I stayed like this for two or three days.

It's so comfortable.

On the evening of the fourth day, when the mother and daughter were about to have dinner, the gatekeeper came to tell them that the son-in-law had arrived.

"Huh?" Xu Shuhe's eyes widened, "Who's here?"

"Sir, someone has come in. He said he is here to visit the lady and brought a lot of things with him," said the servant.

Zheng smiled and said, "It's good that you're here. It's time for dinner. Come on, get someone to bring a set of bowls and chopsticks."

While he was talking, Chen Zhi had already arrived at the door.

"The son-in-law pays respects to his mother-in-law."

Today he wore a light blue waisted, cross-collared gown, which made him look handsome and elegant.

Zheng was very pleased and said, "No need to be polite, put down your food and wipe your hands, we will have dinner soon."

"Yes." Chen Zhi nodded, behaving obediently, "Originally, I should have come with my wife to visit my mother-in-law a long time ago, but I was really busy with business, so I was delayed for a long time. I hope my mother-in-law won't blame me."

"How can I blame you? It's a good thing for young people to focus on their careers." Zheng said, and then glanced at Xu Shuhe, "It's been quite a while since this girl came back. It's a good opportunity for you to come today. Why don't we have dinner later and go back together? Don't let your parents worry."

Hearing this, Xu Shuhe hurriedly said, "Mom, your cough is not completely healed yet. I will not leave. I will stay here to serve you. Otherwise..."

As she spoke, Xu Shuhe looked at Chen Zhi, but before she could say anything, Chen Zhi spoke first.

"My wife is right. There should always be someone to take care of my mother-in-law. As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son. I should also be filial to my mother-in-law. Otherwise, I will stay with my wife for a few more days."

"This, this is not good." Xu Shuhe's heart was in his throat and he looked at Zheng quickly.

Hopefully she'd say something, like this isn't against the rules or something.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhi said directly, "Don't worry, my wife. I have already told my father about this. He also told me that I should be filial to my mother-in-law with you. We can go back after she is well. There is no rush."
