Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Chapter 254

The River Clam slowly opened its shell, revealing its soft, snow-white flesh to the air, almost letting out a satisfying sigh.

The sky was still somewhat lit, and her sons were now studying and doing their homework with their older brothers. Instinctively, Nanzhi went to the wooden tub in the backyard.

The approaching footsteps made the wide-open clamshell suddenly close. The River Clam was rather irritated. Why didn’t this person announce their arrival?

Thinking about how it looked right now, the River Clam was somewhat at a loss for words. Nevertheless, it kept its shell tightly closed. Even if it was a River Clam now, it couldn’t let people see it all!

Nanzhi spotted that the position of the River Clam had changed slightly. She was curious. Had it recovered?

With that thought, Nanzhi’s mouth moved faster than her brain, and she called out.

"Xiaohe?"

The River Clam moved its shell snobbishly, signaling that it had heard.

Seeing its response, Nanzhi giggled, crouched down, and poked it.

"Are you recovered now?"

For a moment, the River Clam did not respond. Just when Nanzhi was about to think that she had been mistaken, the River Clam in the wooden tub slightly opened a gap and blew a ring of tiny bubbles.

"Oh, do you understand my speech now?"

Nanzhi looked amazed and moved to poke it again. However, the River Clam disdainfully moved aside.

Seeing its response, Nanzhi wasn’t upset. She just smiled and said, "Well, if you’re all right now, then make a full circle."

The River Clam hesitated. Why did this woman treat it like a pet dog?

However, it thought that it owed its recovery to her husband, so it reluctantly made a circuit in the wooden tub.

"So why can’t you turn back into a human?" Nanzhi, squatting on the ground and propping her cheeks, seemed somewhat frustrated.

Perhaps because she had lived one more life, she was becoming more forgetful.

She was increasingly forgetting the original plot of this world.

If Xiaohe could turn back into a human, it would at least clear some of her doubts.

The River Clam, in the wooden tub, sneered at the woman who was lost in thought. It was already a huge stroke of luck that it had survived. And she still hoped for it to metamorphose?

It was already fortunate not to turn back into water.

Nanzhi chatted with the River Clam for a long time. Finally, when the last glimmer of twilight was obscured by dark clouds, she stretched and returned to her room.

Life here was somewhat dull.

Cuicui cried a lot, making Mum Lin almost die of heartache, rather than anger.

After all, her two daughters-in-law had been living a hard life since they arrived in their home. Although life had improved now, the grandchildren were studying in the academy. Not to mention future marriages and having children, the cost of tuition and books each year was significant. It was only natural for mothers to worry about their children’s future.

"Mum, I know I was wrong." Cuicui said, her eyes swollen from crying, she looked pitiful.

"Alright, of course, I know you." Mum Lin softly consoled her, holding her in her arms.

"So, you’re not angry at me anymore?"

"What is there to be angry about! You can’t cry anymore, or you’ll hurt your eyes!"

"Oh, that’s good if you’re not angry." Cuicui rubbed her eyes and broke into a smile.

After marrying into the Lin Family, life hadn’t been particularly good for her, but her in-laws had treated her as their own daughter. Her sister-in-law and brother-in-law were also kind people. She realized that she had been too petty.

After repairing their relationship, Cuicui said goodbye to Mum Lin and left her in-law’s room.

Lin Shougui had been waiting outside the room for a long time. He never thought that his wife and their second son’s wife would talk for so long. He almost froze waiting outside.

"Father..." Cuicui saw her father-in-law sitting beside the room as soon as she came out and hurried to greet him.

"Ah, go to sleep soon, don’t get a chill."

"OK. Father, you should go to bed too."

With a wave of his hand, Lin Shougui leaned on his knee and got up, returning to his room.

It was particularly cold today.

In the main room, Chen Qiulan was massaging Lin Yicheng’s shoulders.

"Qiulan, do you want another daughter?"

Chen Qiulan blushed slightly, pretending to hit him before saying, "Doudou is already so big, why do we need another daughter?"

"Only when they’re older can they protect our daughter. Besides, our family is doing well now, so even if we have a daughter, we won’t worry about not being able to raise her, right?" Lin Yicheng picked up Chen Qiulan and sat her on his lap, his strong arms gently patting her back.

"You naughty man." Chen Qiulan blushed slightly, thumping his chest.

"Pangya is busy with the restaurant now, and the food stall is tiring for me, mother, and my little sister. We don’t need another daughter."

"So what?" Lin Yicheng rested his head in his wife’s neck, his voice somewhat low.

"The kids are still awake." Feeling his hot breath on her neck, it took a long time for Chen Qiulan to stutter out this sentence.

"It’s okay, we just have to keep our voices down."

Lin Yicheng, his eyes shining, rolled over and pressed Chen Qiulan beneath him, then blew out the oil lamp.

These two years had been good. The two daughters-in-law of the Lin family had gained some weight. Lin’s mother had always been generous to her daughters-in-law and often bought them women’s nourishing products. Even though Chen Qiulan and Sun Cui had to work at the food stall, they didn’t look worn out from having children.

Lin Yicheng, hugging his wife, was even happier, eagerly hoping to have a chubby and beautiful daughter as soon as possible.

He really loved little Yuanbao. He and Qiulan were both good-looking, so their daughter would certainly be beautiful.

Lin Ercheng had been waiting outside for his wife. Seeing her return with a smile, he finally relaxed.

"How did it go, wife?"

Sun Cui was in a good mood, but when she saw the tear marks on her husband’s clothes, she became embarrassed.

"Your clothes are dirty, why are you still wearing this?"

Lin Ercheng hugged her and entered the room, then laughed softly, "Isn’t it just that I was waiting for you to come back and help me get changed?"

Sun Cui blushed, but Lin Ercheng didn’t want to tease her any more.

"Come here, I just warmed some water for you to wash your face. You can’t go to the stall tomorrow with swollen eyes."

"I know."

Life was sweet in the two Lin households, but the three kids nearby couldn’t sleep at all.

Lin Zihan, staring at the dark sky outside the window, spoke somewhat solemnly.

"Maomao, Gougou, why do you think we were born?"

Lin Jian was sitting on his bed, scratching his head. His big brother’s question was difficult. Was this something the Master would ask?

Zhiyu mumbled, "Brother Doudou, my name is not Gougou, it’s Zhiyu!"

"Then, Zhiyu, why do you think we were born?"

The little child was satisfied and then lifted his fluffy head and said, "I was born to find my mother and father, so that’s why Zhiyu was born."

Lin Zihan pursed his lips. What kind of answer was this?

Lin Jian also nodded and said, "I was born to come to this world, to eat delicious food, and to play fun games."

The two little children laughed, and Lin Zihan could only shake his head in helplessness. It seemed that this question was too profound, and it wasn’t meant to be asked of his two little brothers.

The members of the Lin family drifted off to sleep one by one. River Clam, who had just frightened two old hens, was about to rest contentedly when he suddenly remembered something.

Shen Wenchen had been in the army for three years and had returned to the village two years ago...

River Clam, who didn’t have any eyes, seemed to shrink back, and his heart skipped a beat.
