Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 70: Resurrection?

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Resurrection?

Seeing the man’s distressed appearance, Nanzhi, at a loss, thought this man looks strangely familiar?

He shouldn’t be a villager, right?

"Where did you guys come from?" Nanzhi asked, standing in front of a group of carrot heads.

"We came back to visit our relatives."

Ada nodded at Nanzhi.

"Visit relatives? Who are your relatives?" Nanzhi was doubtful after hearing Ada’s words.

Why would a group of grown men come to visit their relatives during this time of the year?

Even if they were visiting relatives, why were they asking around for the names of the children?

The men looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They looked at Shen Wenchen again, who was still staring blankly at the young woman on the shore.

"Brother Shen, why are you dazed?"

Shen Wenchen, seeing the wary look on Nanzhi’s face, felt an indescribable excitement in his heart, mixed with a bit of doubt.

Shen Miaomiao clearly told him in his previous life that Nanzhi died in June, and only after that did she take care of Gougou as he grew up. Why is it different this time around?

Could it be that Shen Miaomiao lied to him...

"Nannan?"

Nanzhi was taken aback, what Nannan?

She’s labeled north too!

These people claimed to have come to visit relatives but haven’t made any sense after talking for so long. They’re most likely child traffickers!

Looking at Shen Wenchen’s face, she felt a bit of pity. How could this good-looking man be a child trafficker?

Seeing through Nanzhi’s thoughts, Shen Wenchen rubbed his forehead and said, "You have forgotten me over the course of three years?"

Hearing his words, Nanzhi squinted her eyes and thought hard, then her face turned pale.

Did she see a ghost?

After quite a while, her lips trembled as she asked, "Yo...you...why are you back during the day? Did I burn too little money for you during the Ghost Festival? You...you...go back at ease, I’ll burn more for you tomorrow!"

Seeing the look on his wife’s face, Shen Wenchen couldn’t help but laugh, "Take a good look, do I look like a ghost?"

The July sun was scorching on Nanzhi’s scalp. Now looking at the people in the river, her heart thudded.

If not a ghost, he must be human...

The original owner’s husband has come back to life!!!

What should she do?

As a maiden, she can’t be someone’s wife, right?

The group, Little Shier among them, finally understood that the woman on the shore was their sister-in-law!

They wondered why Brother Shen was staring at her without blinking.

Seeing the stalemate, Shen Wenchen finally cleared his throat, "You go home first, take Zhiyu with you. I’ll explain everything when I get back."

After hearing his words, Nanzhi, feeling as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders, quickly led the group of children back to the village.

However, she was worried. Why did the original owner’s husband, who had been dead for three years, suddenly come back today?

Could he be back to take Zhiyu from her?

Thinking of this possibility, Nanzhi became a little flustered and instinctively held onto the little one tighter.

"Mother, who was that man just now?" Shen Zhiyu asked, his small face tilted up in confusion.

"That was your father," Nanzhi pursed her lips, but still told the truth.

Upon hearing Nanzhi’s words, the little one’s brain was full of question marks. Father?

Hadn’t Brother Doudou said that father was eaten by a tiger?

Why was he taking a bath in the river with Uncle Guizi today?

Could it be that the tiger found father unappetizing and spat him out again?

Looking at Shen Zhiyu, who was frowning, Nanzhi sighed inwardly. She thought the youngster was just feeling down. How could she foresee his imagination running wild?

When they got home, Nanzhi found that the lock hanging on the gate had been split in two. She immediately felt a pang in her heart.

This lock was worth three hundred wen!

While she was upset, this house did belong to someone else. Just as she had picked up the lock and entered, she was startled by the six horses tied up nearby.

"Mother! Big horse!" Shen Zhiyu looked at the horses in the yard, his eyes shining brightly as if he couldn’t wait to climb onto the horses and play.

"Stay away, don’t scare them," Nanzhi said as she guided the little one into the house and added, "If you want to ride a horse, wait for your... wait for your father to come back and he’ll take you riding. Don’t go there on your own. Understand?"

Only after Shen Zhiyu nodded in agreement did Nanzhi turn and head to the backyard.

She was not the original owner, just a person who had accidentally ended up in this world, so she could not question him about his absence over the past three years.

Although there was still grain at home, it wasn’t enough to entertain guests. Thinking about the chicken hung in the backyard and under the eaves, Nanzhi felt a pang, this was their rations!

But when she arrived at the backyard she was greeted by another surprise.

All she could see were chickens, ducks, and geese flapping around in the yard. They were tied by their feet and were trying to escape. Feathers were scattered everywhere and she felt a headache coming on.

Seeing Nanzhi return, River Clam, lying quietly in the wooden basin, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The two hens were the most terrifying, constantly staring at its exposed flesh, causing it to keep its shell tightly closed even in the hot weather.

Just you wait! Once I learn how to cook, you’ll be the first ones I handle!

One to make a soup with and one to braise in soy sauce!

Nanzhi had no idea about River Clam’s inner resentment. She took the wild chicken that was hanging under the eaves, caught some river shrimps from the barrel, and then went to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Shen Wenchen was leading five men back home after they had changed clothes.

"Big Brother Shen, how come your wife’s temper is so good? She didn’t ask you what was going on at all," Little Shier asked as he followed behind Shen Wenchen.

"I say, Big Brother Shen, you’re also strange. Your wife is so beautiful. How could you bear to not write a single letter home in three years?" Shier chimed in with a smirk.

How would Shen Wenchen know?

He was somewhat puzzled too. Could it be because he had lived a second life that some things in this life had changed?

Thinking about Nanzhi’s appearance earlier, Shen Wenchen’s heartbeat quickened. In fact, he had not seen her for over twenty years.

In his past life, he had been blindly captivated by that "Goddess". Seeing his legal wife again in this life, he was filled with guilt. There was another feeling which he could not articulate.

"But the little boy called Zhiyu is very clever!" Ada recalled the scene just then and nodded approvingly.

"I think that little boy is also very cute. I wonder whose child he is," Little Shier scratched his head and said.

"That’s Big Brother Shen’s child," Old Ji looked at Little Shier and laughed as he patted his shoulder.

"Isn’t Big Brother Shen’s child called Gougou?" Little Shier asked blankly, his confusion plainly visible.

"Didn’t you see the little boy being led away by Sister-in-law just now? He must have been given a formal name," Shier teased, laughing heartily as he put his arm around Little Shier’s shoulder.

All the way back home, Shen Wenchen remained silent, contemplating how to explain the situation to Nanzhi.
