Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Gossip?

"Sister-in-law!"

Nanzhi looked at the person standing dazed at the doorway and called out with a smile.

"Fat... Fat girl?" Chen Qiulan’s eyes bulged wide in disbelief.

Isn’t Fat Girl... wasn’t she gone two years ago?

Looking at the face of the young woman and the amused look on her young nephew’s face, Chen Qiulan exclaimed excitedly, "You... you’re alright?"

"Ah."

Quickly moving to Nanzhi’s side, Chen Qiulan hugged her tightly after a detailed examination.

"Fat girl! How... how did you change... become like this?"

She looked a bit different than before and even younger.

Being held by her sister-in-law, Nanzhi put down the spatula she was forced to let go and sighed, "It’s a long story."

"It’s alright, it’s alright, you are back, that’s what matters." Chen Qiulan wiped away her tears, nodding again and again.

As long as she’s back, it’s OK.

"You stop fussing in the kitchen, go rest, I will take over."

"Sister, you rest. I can make breakfast."

As the two vied for the spatula, Shen Zhiyu peered into the pot on tiptoes.

He seemed to smell something odd.

Looking at the green vegetables in the pot which had turned black, he exclaimed, "Mom, Aunt, the vegetables are all black~"

The twelve people at the table fell silent as they looked at the pitch-black dish on the table.

Nanzhi was about to speak when a knock came from outside the door.

Unable to stand the eerie atmosphere, Lin Yicheng jumped up and said, "I’ll get the door."

Lin Ercheng, who had just risen half-way, could only sit back down.

When Lin Yicheng returned, he was followed by someone.

Nanzhi’s expression slightly changed at the sight of him, and she looked down as if she hadn’t noticed him.

Shen Wenchen was wearing a cyan-colored robe today, which made him appear much more relaxed compared to his usual stern aura in his black official attire.

Mother Lin smiled and gestured for him to sit down. Sensing the situation, Lin Ercheng, who was sitting next to Nanzhi, tactfully moved over to his older brother, creating a seat for him.

Shen Zhiyu curiously asked as he saw his father join them, "Dad, were your lips also bitten by bugs?"

"Hmm?" Shen Wenchen raised an eyebrow, seeing Nanzhi virtually burying her head into her bowl, he smiled and nodded.

"Your father ran into some insects while on patrol last night."

"I see..."

Worrying that her son might say something embarrassing, Nanzhi looked up only to see her son nodding thoughtfully and muttering softly, "There are so many insects now..."

Mother Lin sensed some tension between her daughter and son-in-law and nudged her husband under the table.

"Eat, eat, Fat girl made this for us this morning, don’t be shy!"

Receiving his wife’s signal, Father Lin laughed and realized that everyone was watching him and not moving their chopsticks.

Since he was already there, Father Lin knew that if they didn’t start eating, nobody else would, so he picked up a chopstickful of scrambled eggs and put it into his mouth.

As Father Lin picked up his chopsticks, the others began to eat.

All eleven people, big and small, unanimously avoided the plate of charred green vegetables. No one dared to touch it.

However, Nanzhi took a piece of the charred vegetable and put it into Shen Wenchen’s bowl, saying, "Eat more."

I thought he would refuse, but to my surprise Wenchen calmly took a bite. After swallowing, he didn’t forget to comment, "Delicious."

Nanzhi stopped eating, a blush creeping up on her face.

This man has to be mad, he is not for keeps.

After the meal, Lin’s mother and daughter-in-law decided to go shopping for ingredients for the afternoon’s stall. Lin’s father took his sons to the carpentry shop to continue work, leaving only Nanzhi, Wenchen, and the three kids at home.

Staring at the three kids for a while, Wenchen finally raised a white flag. He rubbed his temples and said, "Alright, let’s take them with us."

He originally only wanted to stroll around with Nannan, but with his own son and three nephews looking at him, he found it hard to ask them to stay at home.

"Hooray!"

Lin Zihan and Lin Jian were joyful and jumped up. Zhiyu, on the other hand, tried to pounce towards Nanzhi.

He wanted his mother’s hug!

Otherwise, father would take his mom again!

He was not a baby anymore. His mom’s mouth must have been swollen because of all the kissing!

Thinking of this, the little guy hugged Nanzhi even tighter.

Seeing him clinging onto Nanzhi, Wenchen wanted to pull him off.

Nanzhi patted Zhiyu’s bottom, smiling and shaking her head: "I miss Zhiyu too. I’ll just hold him for a while. I will let him down when I get tired."

Since Nanzhi had spoken, Wenchen held two children’s hands, one on each side, and walked out of the door.

Yan City was a well-known merchant city itself, add March 1st’s market gathering, many out-of-towners had arrived early and were strolling around the city now.

Wenchen first took Nanzhi to visit the West Street and planned to buy her some clothes.

Looking at the colorful dresses in the ready-made clothes shop, Nanzhi was a bit overwhelmed.

Back in Lihua village, she wore old short clothes. Even while escaping, she looked like a beggar in sullied clothes. Now, the colorful dresses in the shop left her dazzled.

The shopkeeper naturally recognized Wenchen. Seeing him bringing a woman, he was a bit surprised.

General Shen had been ignoring women to the extreme in Yan City these two years. It was just a few days ago that the news of him and Miss Su was spread. Why did he bring another woman today?

The shopkeeper gave Nanzhi a once over discreetly. Even though she was pretty, she certainly didn’t compare to Miss Su. With a dull and rather old attire, she didn’t look like any acquaintance of General Shen. Could she be his relative?

With this thought, the shopkeeper finally stepped forward, "I didn’t know General Shen would come. I’m sorry for not properly welcoming you. What can I do for you today?"

"What else can you do in your shop besides buying clothes?" Even though Wenchen wanted to say he was buying clothes for his wife, remembering that he was not officially married to Nanzhi, he only shot a disgruntled glance at the shopkeeper.

"Uh, uh..." the shopkeeper felt awkward, but he didn’t dare to say more. In a few moments, his face turned bright red.

"Buying clothes for my mom." Zhiyu, still holding Nanzhi’s hand, found the shopkeeper’s reaction strange.

If they were not here to buy clothes in a ready-made clothes shop, were they here to sell clothes?

But don’t the clothes to be sold have to go to a thrift shop?

"Uh, good, good. Madam, please over here." The shopkeeper wiped the sweat off his forehead, leading Nanzhi to see the dresses.

All he knew was that General Shen had a son, but he had never heard who his wife was.

Could this lady be her?

Nanzhi was choosing dresses, while the shopkeeper was thinking on the side.

Wasn’t General Shen’s first wife dead long ago?

How did this woman ... become alive again today?

But she didn’t look the part, this lady looked like she was just seventeen. Yet, wasn’t General Shen’s son already five years old?

So the possible reason why the Madam Shen hadn’t appeared for two years was that she was too young and afraid of people gossiping about General Shen?
