Divorced woman with child travels through time

"So you mean, you died in your own world and then came to this world, just like your father? Is that possible?" Wang Erniu suddenly asked, "...that you are his daughter in this life?"

It has to be said that Wang Erniu's logic was impeccable, and his words were like a wake-up call. Chen Wenfang suddenly realized and said, "Husband, you are so smart. How come I didn't think of that? What you said is very likely. Then let's go and investigate him again tomorrow. Can you try to fool him again? Let's see how it goes." Chen Wenfang showed no mercy to her own father.

Wang Erniu smiled and said, "Of course there's no problem. He's my father-in-law, so this can't be rushed. It would be best to have them stay at Wangjiazhuang and then slowly test the waters. I can definitely do what my wife says. So, are you feeling any better now?"

Chen Wenfang smiled happily and gave him a kiss, "Mmm, thank you, honey, I feel much better."

"What do you mean, husband?" Wang Erniu replied while groping her. It was rare for his dear wife to be so proactive, so Wang Erniu didn't hold back and mounted her, pulling Chen Wenfang into a passionate encounter.

So, under Wang Erniu's urging, Chen Wenfang took the initiative to confess, about her husband, her children, and a whole host of other questions about her past life. They even forgot to ask whether Wang Dali was pulling Li Baozhu when they met him on the street today.

The next morning, Chen Wenfang, unusually, got up early to dress up. She took out her jewelry and gold and silver items that she usually didn't like to wear, making a show of being a parent meeting her child. She also brought up the questions she had raised the day before.

Wang Erniu nodded and said, "Yes, it really is those two siblings. They were probably silenced in retaliation."

As Chen Wenfang put on her hairpins, she sighed, "What a pity, Li Baozhu should only be in her early twenties, so young..."

Wang Erniu didn't care, looking at her with a mixture of amusement and jealousy, "Wife, you weren't dressed like this when you first met me?"

Chen Wenfang laughed and said, "That's because I knew you couldn't escape my grasp."

"Well, so it turns out you've had designs on me all along, my wife," Wang Erniu laughed.

Chen Wenfang teased, "Me? Sigh, I wonder who it was back then who was always bathing naked in the yard, trying to seduce someone?"

"Well, you're teasing me like this now." Wang Erniu blushed, unable to refute, experiencing his wife's sharp tongue for the first time.

Seeing his embarrassment, Chen Wenfang stepped forward and put her arm around his neck, teasingly saying, "Alright, alright... I've been seduced by you too..."

Wang Erniu put his arm around her waist, his hand sliding down gently, a dangerous glint in his eyes. He pinched her buttock and laughed, "You little rascal, you're always making fun of me. I'll deal with you tonight."

Oh no! Chen Wenfang immediately pushed him away. "Alright, alright, I know I was wrong, husband. Let's go! Go downstairs and see. My dad should be here soon after we've been waiting for so long."

Seeing that she had given in, Wang Erniu laughed and said, "Alright, let's go together. I'll go and wait with you."

Downstairs, Chen Wenfang and Wang Erniu had breakfast and stood by the counter, eagerly waiting. They waited until noon, and finally, they saw Old Man Hu's head emerge from the crowd, followed by Aunt Hu and two children looking around suspiciously, as they slowly walked over.

Uncle Hu led his group hesitantly to the grand entrance of Chen's Teahouse. The bustling entrance was filled with people coming and going, and inside, many were drinking tea and singing opera. Although Chen Wenfang had already seen them, Uncle Hu still didn't dare to look up openly. On the other hand, Aunt Hu, leading her two children and holding Uncle Hu's hand, walked up the steps with her head held high, meeting Chen Wenfang's gaze.

"This..." Aunt Hu was very shocked. She looked at Chen Wenfang with surprise, her mind filled with a turbulent sea of ​​thoughts.

Chen Wenfang smiled. This was her own mother. It turned out that when her mother was young, her face was free of blemishes, and she was so gentle and lovely, without any of the harshness that comes with age.

The two men stared at each other in silence, their minds racing. Wang Erniu was the first to react. He spoke up, "Uncle Hu, this must be Aunt Hu, right? Come, come, this way, please!"

"Hey, hello, boss!" Uncle Hu's demeanor was even more respectful than yesterday, his broad shoulders drooping low, just like an ordinary farmhand deliberately lowering his posture, and with an obsequious expression.

Wang Erniu had Dazhuang lead the way up to the second floor. Chen Wenfang also walked over affectionately, holding Aunt Hu's hand, as well as her two younger siblings.

"Chu Yi!" Chen Wenfang called out as she turned around, "Bring over some snacks." Chu Yi nodded to indicate that she understood, and Chen Wenfang followed her into the room.

As soon as she sat down, Aunt Hu grabbed her hand and said eagerly, "You're Madam Chen, right? I feel like I've seen you somewhere before. You look so familiar!"

Chen Wenfang responded with a smile, "Yes, I also felt that Auntie was very familiar, as if I had seen her somewhere before. That's why I said Uncle Hu is very much like an old friend of mine. Maybe it's just fate."

"So that's how it is..." Aunt Hu hesitated and withdrew her hand.

While pouring tea for the man, Wang Erniu asked, "Uncle Hu, have you made up your mind? Will you come to work at Chen's Workshop next year?"

As they were talking, Chu Yi brought over four plates of snacks on a tray. He placed them on the table, and Uncle Hu swallowed the words he was about to say.

Chen Wenfang smiled and pushed the food towards her two younger siblings, saying, "Come on, eat quickly, don't be shy..."

He then smiled at Aunt Hu and said, "Auntie, try these pastries made in our own workshop. See how they taste? Uncle, you should try some too..."

“Yes, Uncle and Aunt, you should try some…” Wang Erniu also invited.

Both children looked at Aunt Hu. Aunt Hu glanced at Chen Wenfang, who looked back at her with a sincere smile in her eyes. Aunt Hu nodded, but she and Uncle Hu were too embarrassed to take the food.

Xiao Bo eagerly grabbed a piece of sachima and put it in his mouth. "Mom, this square cake is so sweet, so delicious!" Xiao Juan, with her keen eye, picked up a piece of brown sugar sachima, took a bite, and then said to Aunt Hu, "Mom, this black sachima is even better. It's soft and sweet."

"Mom, have a piece..." Xiao Juan was very filial. She took a piece and fed it to Aunt Hu. Aunt Hu reluctantly took a bite and ate it. "Ah, this pastry is really delicious, so sweet! As expected, Chen's pastries are famously good." Aunt Hu praised sincerely.

Xiao Juan ate in small bites, glancing at her brother as she ate. Seeing him eat another piece, she hurriedly grabbed another one with both hands, eating anxiously. Chen Wenfang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry, there's plenty more. If it's not enough, I'll have someone send more."

Wang Erniu silently took a piece of brown sugar sachima and handed it to Uncle Hu. Uncle Hu didn't say anything, but naturally smiled and took it, eating it. The melt-in-your-mouth texture immediately amazed him, his eyes narrowing as he finished it in two bites. Wang Erniu handed him another piece, which Uncle Hu took with a simple smile, saying, "Boss Chen, we've decided. We'll come to work next year. You'll have to sign our family members then..."

Wang Erniu nodded, "Of course. Just remember to come with Aunt Hu. But remember to tell everyone that you are our relatives, otherwise it will be hard to explain to those who want to join Chen's." As he spoke, he exchanged a subtle glance with Chen Wenfang.

"Of course, that's no problem." Aunt Hu smiled and said very seriously, "But Madam Chen, I'd like to ask you a question honestly: how did you come to fall for our Old Hu? To put it bluntly, there are plenty of honest and hardworking people out there. Our Old Hu is not cunning and doesn't deserve your attention. Can you give us the truth so we can be at ease?"

Chen Wenfang sighed and looked at her with expectant eyes, saying, "Please consider this my way of making amends to a deceased friend. I wish to care for my parents, but they are no longer here, and my heart is heavy. I beg you, Auntie, to grant my request..."
