social situations and failed to understand the older generation's hardships."Wait!" I hurried after him two steps.Mrs. Lin took Lin Yanqin's hand and turned around. Several men in black suits stood r...Mu Wanchen is going to an open house!
Where on earth does he get the idea of how to deal with teachers and other parents
Seeing my twitching lips, the little wife laughed and said, “Don’t underestimate Mu Wanchen so much. Although he lives within the confines of the monastic rules, he commands so many people, how could he not understand how to interact with others”
"No, I'm worried about him—"
"Worried the teacher would take a liking to him Hahaha… I think Mu Wanchen is particularly reassuring. That big wooden block of his wouldn't understand the nuances." The little wife smiled and brought me a cup of hot milk.
"What's this" I asked curiously, "Do you usually have powdered milk here"
"Little Mrs. wickedly smirked: "These are the prenatal milks I was forced to drink before giving birth to Lan Xi! There are still several cans in the refrigerator, not expired yet, such a waste! Hurry up and help me consume some."
I rolled my eyes internally. Pregnant women are prone to getting tired of food, and prenatal milk powder is something that most pregnant women both love and hate.
But since my little wife made it herself, I couldn't be rude and not drink it.
I could only sip slowly, chatting with the young wife while also worrying about whether Mu Wanchen would run into trouble.
The Xiao Shī Niang's abode was many, she had spent most of her time residing in the southern mountains of Wuzhang City for seclusion. However, with Wuzhang City suffering a great calamity and becoming desolate, she returned home to handle matters concerning the Shen family.
This is the home of her and Master Yunfan, usually very lively.
Every morning as the sky just began to lighten, Mr. Chen, with his signature slicked-back hairstyle, rode his electric scooter, carrying a basket full of fresh produce to the back door. He pressed his fingerprint familiarly on the lock, parked his scooter next to the lair of his beloved pet “Shen Shou Xiao Nie,” and started his day’s work.
Sometimes Old Man Chen would also go out with Master Yunfan, the junior wife said that most of the time Old Man Chen was still quite attentive to the shop. Every day he came and started sweeping the courtyard, opening for business, and even taking care of washing vegetables and cooking. In short, he was very hardworking and always looked radiant, smiling happily. He was very loyal to Master Yunfan and his junior wife.
Then there was a woman in her nineties who lived in a small room in the backyard and kept a strange black cat. That cat was fierce.
The old woman had a face full of wrinkles, and when she smiled, it was a little creepy. The young apprentice wife said she was a very skilled doctor, and even said to let her take my pulse. She could even tell if the baby in my belly was a boy or a girl just by touching me.
The little wife's father is particularly fun, and his speech is also humorous. He is usually addicted to games and lives like a boy.
Then there's Lang, the little junior wife often speaks of him with affection, calling him a child. Though he's not much younger than me, and he's already a tall and handsome young man, taller even than I am.
Moreover, it is said that Tàn Lang is Yun Fan's senior brother's disciple acknowledged orally. He calls Yun Fan's senior brother his master and his junior wife his master uncle. However, this is just a verbal agreement. His junior wife treats him like a younger brother and cares for him deeply, without treating him as her nephew.
As they were speaking, Mu Wanchen walked in from the front of the store with a wolf in school uniform.
Seeing Mu Wanchen return "safe and sound", I was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Is everything alright"
Mu Wanchen shook his head and sat down beside me. The little junior wife raised her hand to refill my tea.
Tà Lang stood politely aside and greeted me, then reported, "I was stunned when I saw the Great Shaman King arrive. He said that Little Qiao's master had sent him... Our homeroom teacher even said that we look like father and son."
Pffff... My wife and I almost burst out laughing.
"What's with your homeroom teacher's eyes Aside from height, what do the two of you resemble" The young mistress' hand trembled as she poured tea, spilling it onto the tea table. The Lang immediately knelt down on one knee, picked up a towel and wiped the table.
"I'm too lazy to explain, someone will come anyway." Tan Lang was definitely a head taller than his peers, and he would surely be a model in the future.
“Lots of female parents came up to the Grand Shaman and tried to chat me up. I just said, 'Mom's car is at the school gate,' and that sent them all away.”
Well~ I elbowed Mu Wanchen playfully and said, "Not bad, the older sisters really like you."
"Elder sister" he chuckled softly, "In my eyes, they are all just ordinary mortals, juniors."
"You think differently, and wouldn't even bother to look at each other, is that it" The young mistress laughed. "You men, you all see only ordinary people."
"...It's different when it comes to my wife." Mu Wanchen corrected.
"Hmph," the young mistress pouted. "You want to give me dog food Honestly, why don't you just show me that Wheel of Reincarnation I can ask Jiang Qiyun about it, and I'll also check Shen's study for any relevant records. That way, we can figure out what this thing is used for and the witch's intentions."
I pulled out the reincarnation bead from my pouch. It was about the size of a marble, made of weathered stone with tiny holes in it.
At the witch's place, the Wheel of Reincarnation once flashed white light and pulled me into a dreamlike realm of reincarnation. It was hard to distinguish between reality and illusion. Before I left, the witch gave me another one, but I don't know why.
"If you want to check it, just take it. I'm holding it but don't understand what use it has at all." I passed the Wheel of Reincarnation over to her.
The little wife carefully wrapped the bead in a handkerchief and put it in her small handbag. She smiled and said, “The Shen family is big and has a lot of business dealings, and there are often people from the yin-yang circles coming and going. I’ll try to find out about these magical artifacts when I have the chance. Who knows, maybe I'll get some news someday, it all depends on fate.”
I nodded. "I'm very comfortable leaving you here."
At that time, I thought there would be no surprises in the hands of my little wife. The Shen family was also a quiet place, and this inconspicuous pearl wouldn't attract attention.
But my momentary "assumption" didn't expect to cause the subsequent strange events.
Now all my energy is focused on relocating the Witch clan, while I also have to prepare for exams by studying with a growing belly and "communicate" with my grandmother who acts like a monster.
I'm really afraid she'll resist outsiders and, in a fit of anger, make the construction team that came in "mysteriously disappear."
These construction teams were arranged by Lin Yanhuan. They took turns clearing the path and, according to the standards of ordinary roads, built a road that could allow construction vehicles to enter. They also laid water and electricity pipes at the same time.
Several construction teams took turns working, and their efficiency was incredibly high. I can't imagine how much money they spent; all my money is gone, anyway. Mr. Lin said he would cover the rest of the expenses himself, so I didn't even dare to ask how much it cost.
If Miss Lin wants to settle accounts, I'll play dumb.
“You’re stupid too. He works for the country, money is just numbers to him, it doesn't matter if he has any or not.” Ms. Xue sat on a rocking chair in the courtyard, covered with a thin blanket basking in the sun, gazing at me who was doing practice papers on the stone table beside her.
I'm too lazy to discuss these topics with Ms. Xue, and she ignores me when I say nothing. She continues to say, "Your exam is the same. You just need to take it, and they will definitely arrange things for you. This is just a formality. You are so childish, I'm really worried about you."
"Where am I childish! Most people my age are still heartbroken and indulging in food, drink and entertainment!" I retorted.
"That's because you met a good man. Otherwise, you would have been treated as a vessel for raising venomous insects. Your end would have been terrible, even if you died to ashes, you would be carrying poison. You still want to live freely and happily like now" Mrs. Xue sneered.
I kept silent and continued to answer the questions, burying my head in them.
"People, even if they have incredible abilities, can't have an incredible heart… just being able to live a good life in this world isn't easy." She sighed with emotion.
What do you want to say
She gave me a lingering look: "Whether it's family or love, this lifetime is the only chance we have. We won't meet again in the next life."
"Then you should treat my dad better. The old man loves you for life." I complained.
Ms. Xue smiled lightly, neither confirming nor denying.
I stole a glance at her, this woman who had long lived in an atmosphere of gloom and obscurity. The ghastly pallor on her face gradually faded, and under the warm sunlight, the corners of her lips curved upwards, as red and charming as cherries.Those hands hung in the night sky outside the window, two palms pressed against the glass. No other limbs were visible, only these two hands.Mu Wanchen raised his hand to press against my shoulder, w...
