Chapter 40: Wu Li's Hint

  Are they idle and having nothing to do? No! The subordinates are innocent, Qian Shui is just following orders.

  Shen Han immediately corrected himself in his heart, what is this Mo Siyao doing, having nothing better to do? Isn't he supposed to find some talented person for his old man? Why does he keep appearing here?

  The first time they bumped into each other, Shen Huan believed it was a coincidence! The second time they met by the river, she also believed it was a coincidence! But the third time he showed up at her own home...... uh, this wasn't a coincidence!

  But if he dared to say that this time was a coincidence, Shen Huan really wanted to slap him out of 180,000 miles! It's just...this is also just a fleeting thought in her heart; even if she dared, Mo Siyao would not stand here and let her slap him, nor could she slap him out of 180,000 miles...

  So everything is just a figment of the brain, all are just floating clouds! Floating clouds!

  "Miss, is this the embroidered handkerchief you're talking about?"

  "Hmm, but it seems to match this fabric pretty well too."

  Listening to Qian Shui's voice, Shen Huan immediately withdrew from her own thoughts of flying knives and turned her gaze to the fabrics and embroidered handkerchiefs that Qian Shui was discussing with her mother-in-law. However, Shen Huan still had a somewhat out-of-place feeling - Qian Shui, ah Qian Shui, previously that icy and aloof woman, how did she...

  She glanced at Qian Shui with the corner of her eye, but still couldn't find any flaws, and suddenly felt bored.

  "You have a good eye for things, this is indeed the best fabric I have here."

  Chun Hua saw that there was business at the door and immediately went forward with a smile, saying. Shen Huan couldn't help but glance at Mu Siyao intentionally or unintentionally, while the other party didn't avoid it at all, simply staring straight at Shen Huan, the curve of his lips raised in a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression.

  This dead man even looks at people with such an attitude, what's so great about him?

  Withdraw your line of sight, Shen Han pouted and stopped looking at Mu Siyao. Qian Shui also settled the price with Po Po and Chun Hua Niang, hugging the fabric and embroidered handkerchief, turning around to head in Mu Siyao's direction. Just as Shen Han was about to withdraw her gaze, she saw a change on Mu Siyao's face - he was smiling...

  Her gaze involuntarily followed the master and servant as they left, until their figures disappeared from view. Only then did Shen Huan recall her thoughts, and upon lowering her head, she discovered that apart from the embroidered handkerchief being sold, several bolts of Chunhua's embroidered fabric had also been sold, and the two were happily dividing the money between them?

  "How can this be? These few pieces of cloth are not worth so much."

  "Sister, don't bother arguing with me about this. If it wasn't for the fact that the color of your embroidered handkerchief matches the color of those few pieces of fabric I have, would anyone even think my fabrics are worth looking at?"

  "But this..."

  "And besides, they didn't even haggle with us over the price, look at how much I've made!"

  Shen Han only reacted now, was Mu Si Yao indirectly helping himself? And he... was really bored out of his mind?

  As they walked home, Shen Huan couldn't help but ask a few questions about Chunhua's mother. Li furrowed her brow and sighed: "Alas, it can be seen that she is also a person with a bitter fate, but fortunately, her current life is not bad."

  As Li regretted, Shen Han also roughly understood some things about that woman, which was a common experience everywhere, and before reading books didn't feel anything, probably because he had read too many such plots and became numb!

  Now that he has seen the woman who exudes a sense of vicissitudes with his own eyes, Shen Han finally understands that his transmigrated identity also gave him some of the passion he had back then, so that when he encounters certain people and things, he won't choose to maintain a safe distance as calmly as he did in modern times.

  At noon, she simply cooked some dishes and after eating, Shen Huan tidied up the house and then went to the courtyard to clean up. After finishing all this, she finally sat down beside Li Shi, watching her sew, but her mind was racing in another direction, wondering how to make money in ancient times. Even if she wanted to open a golden finger, she had to see if there were conditions that matched the golden finger...

  But in modern times, apart from sitting in an office typing documents and answering phone calls, I really don't have any other life skills...

  "Han'er, go get ready and bring the gifts we bought this morning, we're going to Wu Er's house."

  Shen Han was lost in thought, thinking about her days in the modern era. She didn't know how her parents were doing and often dreamed of them. She deliberately tried not to miss them because nostalgia would only make her weak. Although she knew it was likely that she couldn't go back, there was no need to neglect her current life while reminiscing about the past that couldn't be returned to. However... they were still the parents who gave birth to and raised her. As long as there was an opportunity, nostalgia would still be occupied by them.

  "Hmm!"

  "What's wrong with you?"

  "It's nothing, I enjoy watching you embroider!"

  Li smiled silently, but still felt the heaviness on her face when she looked up at Shen Han earlier. The silence was tinged with sorrow. After thinking it over, Li could only come to one conclusion: she was actually wronged in her own home.

  The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to Wu Er's house at the invitation, although it was still early for dinner, they couldn't wait until dinner time due to politeness.

  She presented her little thoughts, Li smiled and chatted with Wu Er's parents, but her gaze fell on the honest Wu Er, seeing him smiling foolishly, his eyebrows and eyes only showed a relaxed and happy husband and father. Thinking of that day when he hastily sent all the doors in their home to the western sky, Shen Han couldn't help but smile secretly.

  "Uncle Wu and Auntie Wu, may I go take a look at Second Aunt's place?"

  Watching the elders chatting, Shen Huan really didn't have much chance to interject, and even if she found an opportunity, she wouldn't dare open her mouth, after all, that would be impolite. But since the other party was her mother-in-law and herself, not coming wasn't an option either. At this moment, she could only use the excuse of wanting to go see the new mother and child to avoid being alone here feeling anxious.

  "Of course! Look at me being muddled, why don't we just go together?"

  "Will it disturb sister-in-law and the kids' rest?"

  It can be seen that Wu's two elders are also very happy, thinking that their daughter-in-law had a difficult labor to give birth to this grandson, and they didn't let them worry less. Now, the two women who successfully delivered the child, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, are here, and they can't help but get excited too.

  "It's just that I've never seen a newborn baby before, would it be troublesome for Brother Wu to take me in and let me take a look?"

  Shen Huan didn't lie, the first time she almost lost her life to save the child in Yuan's family daughter-in-law's belly, and she fainted instantly. Because of the death of the parturient woman, Shen Huan also didn't have the opportunity to see the baby quietly this time. Now that she has the chance, she still wants to see the newborn baby, after all, it's a child who survived from her own hands, and she has a kind of maternal feelings to see the baby.

  "Alright, then let's talk here and have your wife go see the kids?"

  Li looked at Shen Huan with some concern, and when he saw the expectation in her eyes, he nodded: "Speak softly, don't disturb others."

  "Got it."

  Shen Huan followed Wu's two elderly men, who slightly bowed their heads, and then followed Wu Er into the inner room. However, Shen Huan didn't know that after she left, the three elderly people in the hall, including Old Man Wu, didn't dare to interrupt the conversation between the two women. They waited for his son to come out and then pulled him away to kill a chicken, leaving space for Li Shi and his wife.

  "Your wife is really great."

  "Not bad what, your wife is not bad, you see just entered the door for a year and gave birth to a big fat boy."

  "Actually... I think Zhao's family is quite good, Shen Han is pretty good, your eldest son doesn't have good fortune, but Zhao's second son..."

  "Pfft! I'm talking about the Wu family, don't think just because we have a good relationship, you can speak without reserve like this! Saying that Huan'er is also Qiao'er's elder sister-in-law!"

  Mr. Li's reaction was indeed within Wu's expectation, as they shared the same surname and lived close by, with Wu often helping out Mr. Li. The Wu family was one of the few that Mr. Li would visit regularly, and could be considered a close acquaintance.

  "What's the big deal, sister-in-law! You tell me, with this bachelor and bachelorette constantly together, can't they develop feelings? This young uncle and aunt being together in our town isn't unprecedented either. As long as the kids are willing, why should we old folks go and stop them?"

  Mrs. Wu's words struck Li's heart, she had always looked at Shen Han from the perspective of a mother-in-law, and her own youngest son was obedient and focused on his studies, so she didn't have to worry about him, but now Mrs. Wu's words made her feel anxious, after all, a daughter-in-law is just a daughter-in-law, and a son is just a son, but this daughter-in-law is not the wife of the son who is currently at home!

  "What's with this 'lonely bachelor', am I not human? My wife is a good girl, don't talk nonsense, things can be eaten randomly but words can't be spoken randomly!"

  "By the way, what's going on with your eldest son?"

  "What's the point? He chose his own path, I'll just pretend he's dead and doesn't have this son!"

  Seeing Li's genuine anger, Wu couldn't continue the previous topic. Actually, she just thought Shen Huan was a good match for Zhao Xiuzhuo when she saw her. But Li's eldest son, Zhao Xiuhai, wasn't worthy of such a great girl. It's really unknown what the Shen family is thinking. The Zhao family is already much worse than them, and they still want to marry their daughter over to suffer...

  "Actually, your family's affairs are also considered a strange occurrence in our town. I'd say many people are curious about how your daughter-in-law suddenly changed her ways after causing such a big commotion and became a docile and obedient wife to the Zhao family?"

  As Wu Li said this, Li seemed to sniff out something and Wu Li was also a cautious person, how could he say such things without reason? It was obvious that he was probing, but...

  "Isn't someone outside saying something? Otherwise, why would you suddenly say such nonsense? What kind of person do I, Li Hui, seem like to you? Would I allow that kind of thing to happen?"

  When she finished speaking, Li couldn't help but shift her buttocks and sit up straight, with a sharp glint in her eyes. In fact, this movement was just to cover up the fact that she was extremely nervous at this moment. A family like theirs was a breeding ground for rumors, and she feared hearing gossip about her daughter-in-law and youngest son more than anyone else...

  Yesterday, the editor told me that it will be on shelves on the 1st, and I'm worried that you guys will abandon me! I'm so nervous.

  Wenwen is relatively slow in heating up, and Doudou has never been good at writing compact plot texts like TVT, but I've been working hard to speed it up.

  Don't leave me behind, I'm crying on the run!

  Rolling around... (￣▽￣)... (＿△＿)... (~o￣▽￣)... o~ (~￣▽￣~)... Rolling around... Please continue to support me, dear friends!... .
