Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Locust Plague III

"He said he was saved by someone but he got injured, lost his memories and only recalled everything a few days ago. That’s when he hurried back with his brothers,"

While talking, Nanzhi led Madame Liu to sit down in the hall.

"Sister, good day, granny."

Ada hurriedly greeted Nanzhi and Madame Liu as soon as he came out of his room and saw them sitting in the hall.

Your Ah, good, good." Madame Liu nodded to Ada’s greeting.

This young man looks pretty decent, just a bit on the darker side.

Ada greeted Nanzhi and Twelve with a clean set of clothes, then hurried out. Even though they usually went bare-chested, they were not in their own territory, so running around in underwear was a bit embarrassing.

Seeing this, the others, including Old Nine, also hurriedly cleaned up the yard, greeted Nanzhi and Madame Liu, then left with their clothes.

How can they be seen by others when they were still dirt-covered?

Watching as several young men left, Madame Liu chuckled and said, "Just imagine how delighted those families in the village with unmarried girls would be if they saw this!"

Ever since what had happened with Old Wang’s wife, it has become challenging to arrange marriages for the young girls in the village!

There are still quite a few of eligible age in the village who haven’t been discussed for marriage!

"Just look at them, they all look so handsome," Madame Liu sighed. As Nanzhi was about to join in, Madame Liu suddenly changed the subject.

"Lass, tell me honestly, did Shen Wenchen tell you what he’s been up to these past three years after he came back?"

Nanzhi was taken aback, how was she supposed to answer that?

When Shen Wenchen came back, he only generally explained why he hadn’t been home for the past three years. He really didn’t tell her anything else.

Seeing that Nanzhi was silent, Madame Liu pointed at the table in disappointment and said, "He said he had forgotten about everyone because of his injury, but how do you know if he married someone else during these three years of absence? Even though he has come back, you should ask him about these things. Otherwise, if he actually has a child, aren’t you wasting these past three years of hard life?"

Nanzhi nodded thoughtfully. Since she read this novel before, she knew what Shen Wenchen had been doing these past three years. Plus, she was always worried that she would be identified as a knockoff product, so she hadn’t asked him about these things since he came back. But neither Madame Liu or Zhiyu knew this!

Perhaps Shen Wenchen always wanted to stick with her because he believed that her silence meant that she didn’t care about his past. If she asked him now, and made a fuss, would he keep his distance from her?

Wouldn’t she be safer if he stayed away from her?

"Alright." Nanzhi nodded solemnly.

For some reason, Madame Liu felt a bit regretful seeing her like this. She didn’t mean much by her words, but what if Shen Wenchen was completely decent? wasn’t she spreading unnecessary rumours?

"Lass, I was just saying, don’t take it too seriously."

"I understand." Nanzhi finally replied with a smile.

The two continued chatting for a while longer. Madame Liu told her to be careful not to be bitten by locusts before finally returning to her own home.

After seeing Madame Liu off, Nanzhi went to the kitchen.

Everyone had been busy all day, she couldn’t let them go hungry.

After taking a bath in the river, Shen Wenchen quickly rushed home with his clean clothes.

Seeing the tree branches that had been gnawed away by the locusts and the terrifying bite marks on everyone’s yard doors during his journey home, his mood dropped significantly.

Was this really a locust plague?

Upon arriving at their house, Shen Wenchen composed his facial expression.

"Nannan?"

Upon entering the yard, apart from the pile of dead bugs, there was no one else in sight.

Only Shen Zhiyu, who had just woken up, was running around bare-bottomed.

Rubbing his eyes and seeing him standing at the door, Zhiyu ran over with his short legs.

"Daddy! Carry me!"

All of Shen Wenchen’s concerns melted into tenderness. He picked up his son and kissed his cheek.

"Why is Zhiyu running around bare-bottomed?"

Being tickled by his dad’s stubble, Zhiyu giggled, "Daddy, stop it! I need to pee!"

Amused, Shen Wenchen gave his son’s bottom a little pat, "You little rascal."

After taking him to pee and dressing him, Shen Wenchen finally felt more relaxed.

Nanzhi had just finished preparing breakfast when she heard loud noises coming from outside.

"Big brother Shen! Sister-in-law! Let’s eat fish! Today"

Eleven grinned as he rushed into the yard, holding a five-pound fish, his smile was so wide it almost reached his ears.

He’s brilliant!

Catching such a big fish in one attempt!

Following closely behind were Old Nine and Twelve, each carrying two fish, Ada and Second Brother carried their clothes and were the last to step into the yard.

"Fish! Fish!" Shen Zhiyu clapped his hands excitedly at the sight of the fish, shouting, "Eat fish!"

Shen Wenchen’s heart was filled with jealousy as he watched his son’s joy at seeing the fish. He wished he had caught a few fish when he was bathing earlier.

"Let’s eat." Nanzhi served breakfast, inviting everyone to eat. She didn’t even glance at Shen Wenchen throughout the meal.

After they finished eating, eleven and the others rushed to clean up the dishes. In the hall, only Shen Wenchen, Nanzhi and Shen Zhiyu, who was playing at one side, were left.

He coaxed Shen Zhiyu to go play in the backyard, hesitated for a bit, then Shen Wenchen carefully began to speak.

"Nannan, what’s wrong?"

Pretending to be annoyed, Nanzhi didn’t respond and just stared at her fingers blankly.

"Nannan, if I did something wrong, just tell me directly. Don’t keep it to yourself."

Surprised at Shen Wenchen’s insight, Nanzhi finally looked up at him and asked, "Did you have a child when you were away?"

Stunned by her question, Shen Wenchen fell silent. His brows furrowed slightly and he didn’t say anything for a while.

Nanzhi didn’t expect him to remain silent and was now a bit curious.

Could it be possible that the novel wasn’t entirely accurate? Did Shen Wenchen have other hidden relationships before he met the female lead?

From her memories of the book, Shen Wenchen became a general in the capital city after five years of military service, which was also when he met the female lead who was there for "business."

Could it be possible that Shen Wenchen encountered other women during those five years?

With these thoughts in mind, Nanzhi suddenly felt an urge to uncover the truth. This was like discovering a hidden edition of her favorite series that only she knew about!

On the other hand, Shen Wenchen was wondering whether he should tell his wife about his rebirth.

He didn’t want to repeat his past life, he didn’t want to waste time chasing after a so-called "Goddess." He hoped that in this life, he could live a good life with his wife and son, and if possible, have another daughter.

But if he told her directly, would that scare her?

Both were deep in their own thoughts. One was unable to control their curiosity, and the other was filled with worry.
