Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 595 Warmth

After Old Yang left, there wasn’t much change at home.

Now the three children can go out and play by themselves, and Shang Zhenkun would occasionally check on them. The feeling they got was that the family trusted them.

This actually made them more self-disciplined. It was an unexpected benefit.

Because of the long period of having fancy meals, on the fourth day, the family’s meal was just the usual fare, thin pancakes wrapped with bean sprouts.

The children didn’t mind as long as they were full; after all, this was still refined grain.

The couple stayed on the kang and talked, "Do you think we’ve spoiled the kids too much? Nowadays, people only have two meals a day, and it’s coarse grain; we have three, and every meal is refined grain with meat."

Jiang Xinyu was a bit conflicted. She was worried about raising the children with a sense of superiority or an extravagant habit.

"Wife, why do we earn money?"

"To make life better."

"That’s right, so if we can afford it, why should we hold back? We can educate the children, but I don’t want them to be wronged."

Jiang Xinyu sighed and nodded. "I’m just worried because I care. Our kids aren’t ignorant, and with Master Shang educating them, I’m completely at ease."

"Don’t overthink it. Aren’t you worried our third child might also be overly concerned?"

"Haha, your daughter said that if her sister has a bitter gourd face in the future, it’s because I always fret."

"Isn’t it true? We’re all worried about the third child, afraid you’ll treat her unfairly."

"How could I? Back then, when I was pregnant with Shi Jing, I worried about you every day, and also about my own future. In our current situation, the third child won’t be affected at all; you all don’t need to worry."

"My wife, you’ve been through so much. You have no idea how much I regretted it at the time. I hated myself inside, wondering why I couldn’t control myself, why I took advantage of you. I didn’t even know if I had a future.

There was nothing I could give you, yet I caused you worry and fear.

But when I met you again in a foreign place, and learned about Shi Jing, do you know how I felt then?

Words couldn’t describe the surprise and joy. I selfishly thought that luckily, I had you."

"At the time, I was really scared, without any news from you. I awaited every day for the door to be knocked, went to the textile factory every day, hoping to see Secretary Lu. Waiting for your news.

When I finally saw Secretary Lu, he tersely told me to leave immediately. But at that moment, I was half relieved, at least knowing you were safe."

"Yes, I had no future back then.

Wife, the happiest moments were when you were pregnant with Feifei, watching your belly grow daily, feeling Feifei’s changes."

"You also felt it with the third child."

Jiang Xinyu comforted Wei Kaiyun, sensing his low spirits.

"Now it’s fine, but you don’t know how grateful I once felt. If it weren’t for that incident, I might not have been able to live with you and the children."

"But the cost was too great; it was exchanged for your leg."

"Wife, actually my leg is already fine. I recover very well; I’ve had injuries worse than this during training before, and it was not a problem at all."

"You were young then, but now you’re older with osteoporosis; recovery surely isn’t as fast as it used to be."

"Wife, want to test if I’m old or not?"

Jiang Xinyu looked speechlessly at Wei Kaiyun, wondering how the conversation turned to this. Men, honestly.

"Focus on getting well. Although this place is secluded and Old Yang is mediating, there’s always the fear that someone might keep pressing."

"I think it shouldn’t happen. They’re too busy with their own problems; otherwise, they wouldn’t have really let me become disabled. Last time, it was just a superficial injury that healed over time. This time, it’s a bit like a cornered dog fight with also some opportunistic tendencies."

"I don’t understand your affairs. I just hope you are safe so that the kids and I won’t always live in fear."

"It won’t happen again. I will cherish myself more.

Wife, when you came, Qian Jun wasn’t in trouble, was he?"

"No, as far as I know, he seemed quite good. But I might have annoyed Tao Juncheng though. But it doesn’t matter since I’m not working under him anymore."

"Wife, there are no eternal friends."

"I know, but if Qian Jun ever gets into trouble or needs my help, I will do my utmost."

"Don’t worry about it; I’ll repay his favor on my own."

"Hehe, you will? He probably won’t even know why you’re helping him."

"That’s because my wife does a good job with secrecy. I guess none of your friends knows about our relationship, right?"

"Yes, for many reasons, but mainly because the impression you leave is like that of a monk, and the gap between us is too large."

"I never planned to start a family before, just like Old Yang now. But I was lucky to meet you."

"Exactly, aren’t you lucky?"

The couple always had endless things to say, and Wei Kaiyun kept rambling on about how lucky he was.

Voices came from outside. Jiang Xinyu identified it as Lv Guodong’s voice.

"Lv Beiguang’s two kids are here; I’ll go check."

"Mm." Wei Kaiyun didn’t show dissatisfaction, but in his heart, he was certainly displeased.

By the time Jiang Xinyu left the room, the three had already entered the main room.

"Aunt Jiang, we came to wish you a happy New Year!" Guodong said with a smile.

"Oh good, it’s quite far, right? You must have walked a long way. Come in quickly.

Sister-in-law Liu, make them some sugar water."

Jing Chu and Zhao Xiaoli also smiled and wished Jiang Xinyu a happy New Year.

"Come inside and sit, have some sugar water later."

Jiang Xinyu led the three directly into the couple’s room.

Wei Kaiyun had already heard the conversation outside. So he promptly tidied up the quilts and clothes on the kang, and by the time Jiang Xinyu brought the three in, it was all clean and tidy.

The three paused upon seeing the man sitting on the kang, as Lv Guodong and Lv Jingchu had never seen Wei Kaiyun before, let alone Zhao Xiaoli.

"Guodong, Jing Chu, Xiao Li, this is Shi Jing and Feifei’s dad; you can call him Uncle Wei."

Jing Chu and Guodong hesitantly called him Uncle Wei.

"You three sit down quickly; was it cold on the way?" Wei Kaiyun also greeted them with a smile.

Lv Jingchu felt extremely uncomfortable inside. She knew her father had a crush on Aunt Jiang, and she believed there was hope. But unexpectedly, the family had already reunited.

So what would happen to Dad? This Wei guy, he didn’t even look as good as Dad, and his job must not be as good as Dad’s. Why did Aunt Jiang choose him?
