Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 356: Changing Teeth

Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Changing Teeth

Little Zhiyu had been sensible from a young age.

Life was decent in the Shen family when he was just a few months old. Luckily, Nanzhi ate well during her confinement, so he didn’t get sick.

When Zhiyu was a few months old, Shen Wenchen left and never returned. The two old people in the family, always in sorrow, laid in bed from the time the child could remember.

He was skinny and would sit in the yard, playing with his little wooden horse. He would always see his mother’s thin silhouette carrying stinky medicinal soup to his grandparents’ room.

Then his grandmother died and was placed in a large square box.

Many people wearing white hats came to their house.

After that, the huge round table in their house disappeared. The large bed was gone, the chests were gone, his mother’s beautiful silver hairpin was gone - even his little wooden horse was taken away...

He grew taller, but his mother always looked at him with sadness in her eyes.

Then his grandfather passed away too and was placed in the same large box.

There was no more grain at home, and his mother always took him to the mountain to dig for wild vegetables to eat.

The wild vegetables were a bit bitter, he didn’t like them, but the grandparents in the village would secretly give him some coarse grain pancakes.

However, every time his mother brought back lots of wild vegetables, she would act strangely and throw them all away.

Later, he grew even bigger.

Brother Shi Tou from next door always said he was a child without a father. He couldn’t remember what his father looked like. Having a mother was enough for him.

Until he was three years old, his mother suddenly stopped moving one day. He was afraid that his mother would be placed in the same large box as his grandparents.

Perhaps the gods in heaven pitied him, his mother woke up and took him to find many things to eat.

He really loved those days.

He didn’t have to starve, no longer bullied by Brother Shi Tou, and his mother would always caress his head and kiss his little face.

Even his father came back, he had both a father and a mother.

But then, a famine forced the village to flee. His mother would always ask him if he was afraid. He knew he had his mother and uncle with him, so he wasn’t afraid.

But his mother disappeared in front of him.

His mother always said he was a little lucky star, but no matter how he wished to the gods in heaven, his mother did not return.

Until a few months ago, he saw his mother, who was alive, would laugh and hug him.

But after that, his mother became very busy. She would leave home early every day and only return late at night.

Little Zhiyu looked at Nanzhi, feeling a bit wronged.

Nanzhi felt a pinch in her heart under the glare of the little guy.

"Auntie, you are so busy. When little brother wants to talk to you, you are not around." Lin Zihan looked at his little brother crying and felt a little sad.

Even though they didn’t always see their mother after school, she would chat with them and ask them about their day at the academy after closing her stall.

They all lived in the same courtyard.

But only Little Zhiyu could see his aunt occasionally.

Nanzhi felt a little heartache already. Hearing her nephew’s words, she felt somewhat ashamed.

She had somewhat neglected Zhiyu.

She had a personal reason for opening this restaurant.

Maybe she was afraid others would think she wasn’t good enough for Shen Wenchen, or perhaps it was because of her own inferiority.

But in the end, she didn’t achieve much, and she neglected Zhiyu.

"Zhiyu, it’s my fault." Nanzhi reached out and hugged her son, feeling his small body shaking slightly, made her feel even more guilty.

She had always envied those kids with parents when she was little. After arriving here, she vowed to take good care of Zhiyu. But she seemed to have forgotten her original intention.

At such a touching moment, Zhiyu suddenly blushed and whispered, "Mommy, I, my tooth fell out."

Nanzhi’s heavy heart suddenly paused, and with one glance, she saw a baby tooth lying in her son’s palm.

"Mommy, Zhiyu is growing up."

No child would blame his mother. The little guy felt aggrieved but as soon as he turned his head, he started to act cute again.

"Yes, our Zhiyu is growing up again." Nanzhi rubbed her son’s cheeks, took the small baby tooth from his hand.

"Which tooth did Zhiyu lose?"

"A tooth from below!" The little guy said cheerfully, had his mouth not been small, he would have a draft when he spoke.

"Then mommy will throw Zhiyu’s tooth onto the roof."

Just a few loving words between mother and son, left the three other children waiting for their punishment dumbfounded.

So that was it. Why were they not punished for skipping school?

Xiaomi was particularly stunned.

It wasn’t until Nanzhi left the study room, that Little Zhiyu wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes.

"Alright."

Lin Jian gave him a thumbs up and nodded approvingly.

So, they had to rely on his little brother.

Before Zhiyu could speak, they heard the squeaking sound of the study room’s door being pushed open again.

Nanzhi was standing at the door with her arms crossed and a black line on her face.

She knew that Zhiyu took after his father. He was a troublemaker.

Although just now she could see that her little boy was indeed wronged, as his mother, she could still understand some things.

"Mommy, why are you here again?" The little guy immediately put on a smile, his eyes fluttering incessantly.

However, Nanzhi was already immune to it. She just made a regretful cold snort and said, "Today, the four of you, each will write three more pages of small characters, and I will check them tomorrow morning."

After saying that, she finally took the little tooth and returned to her room.

The four children deflated instantly, only Xiaomi, although deflated, breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they had to write three pages of small characters, it was hardly a punishment. It could be considered as writing practice.

In the bright moonlight, Nanzhi stood in front of the house, about to look for a suitable position, when she heard some soft noises coming from the roof.

Before she could react, the baby tooth in her hand had already slipped and struck the roof.

Shen Wenchen had just stopped when he felt a pain on his head. When he reached out to catch it, he saw a little baby tooth and couldn’t help but laugh.

That’s when he jumped off the roof.

"Nannan, what are you doing?"

Shen Wenchen found it both amusing and strange as he held the little tooth and looked at Nanzhi.

"Zhiyu lost a tooth, throwing it on the roof will ensure that his future teeth grow straight." Nanzhi explained proudly.

Some people say this is a superstitious belief, but her grandmother always told her so, and she believed it wholeheartedly. Even her own good teeth, she attributed to this practice.

Although she knew that she probably had good teeth because she didn’t have much money for snacks when she was young, and her grandmother was a clean freak who always monitored her tooth brushing. This way, she got a good set of teeth without spending any money.

"Then I will throw it high for him." Shen Wenchen looked at her affectionately, took Nanzhi into his arms.

He missed her terribly.
