Chapter 26 - 026. No, no problem?
Watching this man place two large containers of dumplings in front of herself and her brother, while he and Lian Hai just had a couple of cornbread pancakes and some pickled vegetables to get by, Shuzhen couldn’t help but recall her past life. This silly man was the same then. Every time the household’s meals improved, he would put all the best food into her and the children’s bowls without leaving a bite for himself. The more satisfied they were eating, the merrier he became. Even as he ate bran and pickled vegetables himself, or patched layers upon layers, he would strive to give her and the children the best...
In her previous life, she was overshadowed by clouds, unable to see the beauty right in front of her.
Now reborn, she wishes only to brighten the eyes blinded by a scumbag, to regain the beauty of the past. To bring happiness to this silly man who never babbles much, only quietly sacrificing. Watching him again, no matter how he suffers himself, unwilling to mistreat her, Shuzhen can hardly remember her past grievances and worries. Simply filled with a sweet heart, she eats a few dumplings, then claims she ate too much during the day, can’t eat any more, and to avoid waste, she pushes a container eight-tenths full of dumplings into his hand.
Are you full?
The one carrying a baby is eating for two, and just those two dumplings really don’t make a meal! Lianshan frowned, regretfully in these dog days of summer, nothing good lasts. Otherwise, keeping these dumplings for Shuzhen as breakfast would be perfect. A strong young man like him can simply eat a bite to fill the stomach, there’s no reason to waste these white flour celery meat dumplings!
This silly guy’s very obvious expression of heartache makes it impossible for Shuzhen to ignore. Too bad she’s not his wife in this lifetime, otherwise, she would definitely pull his ear and command him to finish everything right away, never allowing such differential treatment again. Husband and wife, isn’t it all about sharing joys and hardships?
Watching this silly guy’s fine brother attribute explode, giving most of the dumplings she specially handed him to Lian Hai, the idiot, Shuzhen’s heart is filled with both heartache and anxiety. Thinking once she gets back, she has to strategize quickly to mark this silly man who before marriage cares for siblings, nephews, nieces; and after marriage, is all heartache for his wife, son, and daughter, as her own.
With her ability to stimulate plant growth in hand, she’ll ensure a lively life full of good food and drink is no problem. In the future, she will protect him, care for him, who dares think he could suffer the least grievance again. Humph, not even himself!
Lying on the bed in the guest house specially opened for her and her brother by Lianshan, Shuzhen is still pondering about where to start making herself and Brother Lianshan become intimate and inseparable as a couple. It must be known that in her previous life, if not for saving someone from drowning first, followed by Wu Xia’s pushy persistence, Brother Lianshan never intended to marry. At least before his life improved, he never planned to burden any decent girl into suffering alongside him.
A man who should take initiative doesn’t have the thought or courage, isn’t it bad luck for her, a woman, to push it forward?
