Chapter 167: Chapter 167: The White-faced Boy_1

"Alright, alright. Your dad will teach you in the future," Shen Wenchen stroked the little one’s head and tenderly promised.

The life he was living now was one he could never have imagined in his past life.

The Shen family had finished eating. The Lin family hadn’t left yet, so they just sat around resting.

After chatting with Nanzhi, Shen Miaomiao learned about using hot stones to warm shoes, so she had Aunt Guihua take off her shoes to heat and dry alongside hers. No sooner had they slipped on their heated shoes and socks than they saw the Lin family packing up to hit the road again.

Aunt Guihua was a bit surprised after putting on her shoes, but she didn’t comment much. She simply hustled Shen Miaomiao off to continue their journey.

Ms. Li hadn’t come down from the donkey cart all day, seemingly afraid that once she did, Shen Miaomiao would seize her place.

Even at noon, out of pity for his wife, Shen Zhong brought her two steamed buns.

However, he did not receive a single word of thanks, only to be scolded thoroughly once again.

Aunt Guihua, seeing him hang his head in disappointment, felt a knot in her chest that just wouldn’t loosen.

In the following few days, Ms. Li was continually stirring up trouble, either making snide remarks at Shen Miaomiao or mumbling incoherent insults.

She became a nuisance for both families.

Shen Zhong, however, seemed bewitched, tolerating her behavior at every turn.

"Listen, son, your mother needs to ask you something. Who do you want? Your parents or that woman?" Aunt Guihua asked with a stern face, pointing at the dishevelled Ms. Li shivering on the ground and looking at Shen Zhong.

Shen Zhong had turned pale with anger; he gritted his teeth, glaring at his wife and the dandy on the ground.

He had never imagined that Lian Mei would be flirting with this dandy these past few days.

He had even thought of splitting the family assets after they arrived in Yan City and taking her with him to make a living.

Even though he was a bit simple-minded, he was strong. As long as they split the family, he planned to let her manage the money he earned from working outside the home.

Then it would be just the two of them at home, she could run the house herself and wouldn’t complain about their mother playing favourites.

But unexpectedly, Elder Shen happened to walk in on their scandalous affair.

Thinking of this, rage filled Shen Zhong’s eyes.

Seeing the appearances of Ms. Li and that adulterer, he wished he could burn them alive.

"Husband...husband, I was wrong, I was...I will change, please...forgive me," Li Lian, her hands tied, her clothes not properly put on, and her face ash-white from the cold, could only weep uncontrollably at the sight of Shen Zhong’s murderous gaze.

She...she was seduced by that dandy.

"It was all him, he enticed me!"

Seeing Shen Zhong’s clenched fist, Ms. Li panicked, and desperately tried to throw the blame on the man next to her.

"You filthy woman! Now you’re saying I seduced you? Weren’t you enjoying yourself under me just a while ago? Bah! You’re nothing but a cheap tramp!"

The man was good-looking in a scholarly way, his fair face could be considered handsome here. Realizing he couldn’t escape, he dropped all pretenses. The things he said made Nanzhi and the others cover their ears.

"Brother, I’d say, you’re better off without this woman! She’s as flirtatious as a brothel girl!"

The man got more and more carried away as he spoke, finally breaking into laughter.

He was a refugee who had fled all the way here. He had some money at first and managed to live decently. But then a flood destroyed everything. The clothes he wore were stripped from a dead person. After experiencing such dire straits, he was dying to latch onto any wealthy family.

A few days ago, he noticed Li Lian feasting on a whole chicken and figured that even though she was fleeing with her in-laws, there seemed to be discord among them and her husband was a soft touch.

He planned to observe for a bit longer when he saw the old woman dump a pot of meat by the roadside the next morning right after he woke up.

Although it was a little embarrassing, he didn’t care at this point. Surviving was all that mattered!

He and a few other starving refugees scrambled for the chicken heads and feet, which bolstered his resolve to approach that young woman.

That young woman was quite idle; every time they stopped, she’d stay in the cart. So he followed her when she was relieving herself and thus initiated the contact.

He thought of himself as quite attractive, but he never considered that the young woman would actually be promiscuous.

He only flirted with her a bit, yet she really did mix up with him.

He saw the young woman eat quite a number of steamed buns and stuff, much better than before.

But he had no idea that they would be caught after a rendezvous tonight.

At this point, he was too tired to beg for mercy anymore. His life was indeed pathetic, death might be a better solution.

At his words, Aunty Guihua and Shen San’s faces turned black as the bottom of a pot.

The Lin Family knew there was trouble ahead when Shen Wenchen said he was going hunting in the woods, but came back holding a man.

The man’s words were vulgar, Chen Qiulan and Sun Cui, though married, felt a bit embarrassed. They both covered their children’s ears, fearful of them hearing.

The situation on Nanzhi’s side was kind of peculiar.

Nanzhi covered Zhiyu’s ears, Shen Wenchen covered her ears.

Three people standing together made for a funny scene.

"Why are you covering my ears?"

Nanzhi muttered softly.

"Little girls shouldn’t hear."

Shen Wenchen explained in earnest, a subtle smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.

"..."

Nanzhi was at a loss for words, looking at Little Douding in front of her in self-doubt.

Weren’t her sons almost four years old?

Was she still a little girl?

Was Shen Wenchen going mad?

Looking up, all Nanzhi could see was Shen Wenchen’s stubbly chin and his curving lips.

Immediately, the while light in her flashed. Could it be that he knew about Ms. Li’s secret affair?

Feeling his wife’s gaze, Shen Wenchen lowered his head to meet her eyes, then whispered: "I also felt that Ms. Li was not a good person, it’s good for Shen Zhong to see her true colors."

Seeing him confessing his thoughts, Nanzhi didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Just when she felt the atmosphere chilled a bit, a scream came from the Shen family’s house.

Shen Zhong withdrew his right hand and looked at his wife, with whom he had shared a bed for more than two years, without saying a word.

Li Lian felt a burning pain on her face, and disbelief in her eyes.

She thought, she thought that Shen Zhong would not bear to hit her.

After all, he had never hit her even when she made a fuss and angered his mother. So she dared to be bolder and bolder in having affairs.

"You, you hit me?"

With her nose running and tears streaming, Li Lian’s face was a mess. Half of her face swelled, she stared blankly at Shen Zhong.

But Shen Zhong glared at the adulterer beside her, completely ignoring her.

"That’s enough, go back to the wagon. You shouldn’t see this." Seeing Shen Zhong’s intention, Shen Wenchen tried to hustle his wife and son back into the wagon.

"I can handle it!"

Nanzhi turned stubborn, insisting on not going back to hide.

In the end, Mother Lin, afraid that the three kids would have nightmares, hurried them up into the mule cart to take cover.
