Grandma Shen paused before turning to look at Su Wan as she raised one of her brows and said, “He is not your husband?”
” No! he is my husband but he is not the biological father of my child——”
” Damn girl don’t tell me that you actually cheated—-“
” No, I didn’t!” Su Wan shouted at once as she interrupted her grandmother, wondering how the conversation escalated to this point. ” I didn’t cheat.”
” Then why is he not the father of your child? If he is your husband then the child should be his no?”
” Yes he is the father but he is also not the father——” Su Wan flailed her hands as she tried to get Grandma Shen to understand but the latter just frowned as she turned to look at her grandsons and sons, as if she couldn’t understand what Su Wan was saying, it was as if the thought of Su Wan being a shared wife didn’t even come to her head.
” If he is not the father then who is?” After a long while, Grandma Shen turned to Su Wan with a confused expression, not quite understanding what she actually meant by ‘ Lin Chen was the father but he was also not the father.’ And neither did Shen Tian and the rest of the grandsons of the Shen family, in their eyes Su Wan was their precious granddaughter, sister and niece … so there was no way she would be living a life as a shared wife, right?
Shen Zizhen and Shen Junxi retreated very slowly from the courtyard, seeing their actions Xu Jia’s eyes narrowed as she turned to look at Madam Zhu and Madam Huo, who also looked away which only made her even more suspicious as she asked, ” What is the meaning of this sister Zhu? I am pretty sure that this question is not worth thinking about so much and—” then pointing at Shen Junxi and Shen Zizhen she further continued, ” There is no need for elder brother and second brother to run like that right?”
Madam Zhu blinked and then looked away as she carefully looked around and pulled Xu Jia to a corner before whispering, “It’s actually like this… Wan Wan … she is a shared …she is a shared wife.”
At first Madam Xu blinked her eyes as if she couldn’t understand what she just heard, she turned her head towards Madam Zhu like she could hear what the latter was saying but he couldn’t understand what was the meaning of her words. Madam Xu raised her hand and then poked a finger in her ear as if to clear whatever junk was in it and then scarped it out nicely before saying, ” Say what you said just now sister Zhu but slowly, I think I couldn’t hear it properly at the first time.”
Madam Zhu knew what Madam Xu was going through because she was just like her when she first out about this matter and thus she looked at Madam Huo who nodded and then closed in Madam Xu’s personal space as she whispered, ” Wan Wan is a Shared…. Wife.”
Listening to her words Madam Xu’s head snapped up and then she looked at Madam Huo in disbelief who nodded and then she turned to Madam Zhu who nodded her head with a grim expression. Madam Huo can make a mistake because she was a ditzy head but not madam Zhu… head swaying Madam Xu parted her lips as she opened her mouth to shout but Madam Zhu hurriedly clamped her mouth shut with her hands. ” Don’t shout yet Jia Jia, let our husbands retreat a bit or else their legs will be broken, you don’t want your brothers-in-law’s legs to be broken right?”
Xu Jia’s eyes flickered as she turned to look at her sister-in-law with a questioning look. After this…her two sisters-in-law really think that there was still a chance for their husbands to save their legs? There was no point in trying to save anything at this point.
Madam Zhu also knew that she was trying to change her husband’s fate which was long written by destiny but there was nothing else she could do… at least when her husband was lying in bed she won’t have this guilt that she didn’t try to save her husband right?
Shen Zizhen and Shen Junxi also knew this, which was why they immediately retreated after the conversation reached this point because they knew that if they stayed they will be saying goodbye to their legs.
” Walk faster Zizhen, the bomb is going to explode any second now,” hissed Shen Junxi as he looked at his brother who was rushing behind while clutching his extremely large belly.
” What do you think I am doing?” huffed Shen Zizhen as he rushed after his big brother whose one steps comprised of his three steps. This was one of those times when he hated God for giving him such stubby legs. He couldn’t help but complain to God as he ran for his life —— ‘ Dear God, you gave me such a good life… such a successful life, a good family, such witty brain and everything is simply amazing but why do you have to take my height away? Now if I die who is going to be responsible for my death? Me who cannot run because of my short legs or you who gave me these stubby legs?’
” Hurry, Hurry!” said Shen Junxi but when he saw that his brother was panting as he tried his best to run after him, he couldn’t leave him to die. In the end, Shen Junxi turned around and picked Shen Zizhen up by his arms and started running again.
Shen Zizhen who was picked up like a child panted and said, ” l..leave me behind brother.”
” I can’t good brothers die together.”
” Elder Brother…”
”Zizhen don’t worry I will protect you.”
Madam Zhu who saw this scene of heart-touching brotherhood: “…..” Just run away already.
