Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 393 Setting off

Chapter 393: Chapter 393 Setting off

The third of July.

Looking at Shen Zhiyu, who was eating his head off, Nanzhi couldn’t help but worry a bit.

Although they all say that it’s good for children to eat more as they grow, but Zhiyu has already eaten three bowls. She hoped he isn’t overeating.

"Zhiyu, slow down, eat more if you’re hungry later."

Looking at her nephew’s bulging stomach, Sun Cui rubbed it gently, her eyes full of affection.

During the last trip to buy ginseng, her younger sister had surprisingly bought an extra twenty-year-old ginseng. Every few days, her mother-in-law would cut a few slices from the ginseng and stew it with an old hen for her to eat.

To be honest, she felt more comfortable and energetic these days.

That piece of ginseng cost twenty-two taels. It was really a heavy gift.

Zhiyu just nodded, but his hands didn’t stop at all.

These days, his father would call him every night and then take him to practice martial arts.

Thinking of the words his father had said to him that night, Shen Zhiyu didn’t feel tired at all and wished he could go to the City Lord’s Residence to practice martial arts with his father now.

After finishing a bowl of rice, the little fellow put down his bowl, wiped his mouth, and ran off again.

"What’s wrong with this child?" Nanzhi frowned, worried that something had happened.

"Doudou, what’s been going on with your brother lately?" Chen Qiulan also felt it strange and turned her head to look at her son.

The children were usually very close and they might be able to figure out what was happening.

"Nothing really, he trains with us every morning, then reads books and writes small characters. But he seems to get hungry faster recently, and eats more than Maomao." Lin Zihan shook his head, thinking about what had happened over the past few days, and found nothing wrong.

"Maybe he’s just growing." Lin Yicheng laughed, and let everyone continue with their meal.

The new shop was already renovated and ready, just waiting for the twentieth to open.

Right now, the carpentry shop was doing quite well, and they needed to hurry back to the shop later.

"The people coming by the house recently are indeed too many." Lin’s mother looked somewhat absent-minded. From morning to evening, people would keep coming to knock on the door.

Disturbing both their family and the neighbors.

"We have no choice, they all want to suck up to our family." Lin Ercheng sighed, and handed Sun Cui a piece of meat.

"It’s really a case of ’when you’re poor no one cares, but when you’re rich you have distant relatives.’" Lin Fu snorted. Looking at the plain congee in the bowl, he lost his appetite.

He used to have tea with his old brother, Lin Fu, every now and then. But now, every time he saw Lin Fu, he had to put on a fake smile and call him "Master Lin".

To hell with Master Lin.

He had been Lin Shougui all his life. When he first brought his family here to seek help from his old brother, they were able to be compatriots. Now that life seemed to be improving, his old brother had to call him "Master" every time he saw him.

"Grandfather, you used that phrase incorrectly." Lin Jian, who had been somewhat upset, subconsciously opened his mouth to remind his grandfather after hearing what he had said.

The girls in the alley had been sticking to him these past few days, which was quite annoying.

Thinking of the plump little girl, Lin Jian felt a headache coming on.

He hadn’t talked to her properly last time.

He didn’t know if she liked it, whatever it was.

Yueyue’s condition had improved, so Xiaoqi no longer had to stay with her all night.

After the last incident, Yuanbao seemed to have lost his fiery enthusiasm for Xiaoqi. On the contrary, the little girl always unconsciously avoided him.

Xiaoqi was no fool. He could feel the drastic change in Yuanbao’s attitude before and after.

"Big Brother, I want to go with all of you this time." Xiaoqi hesitated for a long time, but finally made his decision.

Chi Sheng glanced at him cooly and spoke, "No need. You just need to take care of Yueyue."

After saying this, he paid no more attention to Xiaoqi, but turned and went to the second plot of their courtyard.

The wine they’d brewed had already been prepared, and majority of the old and weak in their camp had been mostly settled. The two villages were only a three-day trip by water route to Yan City. If anything were to happen, it was also an escape route.

He dared not put all the lives in the camp on the line.

All they could do now was hurry to Yan City and find Shen Xiaolang for a solution.

A few days ago, a brother in the camp had gone hunting and found several sneaky men spying on the camp.

The two brothers recognized them as bandits right away, and led them all to the back mountain where there were wild animals.

As expected, in just one night, those men were eaten so completely that only a few bloodstained rags were left on the ground.

How did they know those men were not good people? Probably because of their identical black clothes for night walking.

And who would be practicing moves in the woods in broad daylight in those clothes?

There was nothing on those men that could prove their identity, only the fabric of their clothes could hint at something.

It was the kind that was favored by the people of Xin City.

They were afraid that the thing they were worrying about was going to happen. Now the only thing they could do was to lead their brothers to seek refuge in Yan City and get rid of the notoriety as bandits.

If they were to really conflict with the patrolling soldiers, they would become real villains, which label wouldn’t go away for life.

Their only hope now lay with Yuanbao’s foster parents.

Looking at his daughter who was happily tugging at her own pigtails, Chi Sheng sighed.

This little girl, who really didn’t know whom she took after.

However, it was better this way. Living carefreely was better than being overly cautious.

"Yuanbao, do you want to go with Father?"

The little girl was laughing foolishly. When she heard someone call her name, she lifted her head in confusion.

The little girl’s face was small now, with an even smaller pointy chin, and only those round and extremely pretty eyes remained.

"Father, Yuanbao wants to go with you." The little girl nodded her head, oblivious to the conversation that her father and Xiaoqi had just had.

She gave one of the silk flowers Brother Maomao had given her to Yueyue.

Yueyue really liked it.

Now when she laughed, there were little dimples on her face.

The little girl carried an inexplicable resentment that even she didn’t understand herself. Now she only thought of Yueyue.

She had always liked Yueyue, the gentle and kind Yueyue, who would step in to speak for her when Xiaoqi ignored her.

There were few children in the camp who were about her same age.

Especially little girls.

But, after Yueyue came, she finally had a friend like Huzi and Erdan did.

"Pack up, we’ll set off half an hour later." With Chi Sheng giving this order, more than a dozen other people immediately returned to their homes to pack their things.

Xiaoqi looked at Yuanbao with complicated feelings and didn’t approach her.

A childhood’s heart was simple. Now that Yuanbao was upset, he didn’t know what to do.

In the end, he’d just apologize to her when she got back.
