Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 819 - 738: Cooperation (Part 2)

"Yes, a super large portion, it’ll make your tummy nice and full."

"Dad, today Mom and I had a contest to draw a little rabbit, and Little Star won. Look at mine."

Han Yi placed the dishes on the table and turned to look at Little Star’s drawing of a rabbit in front of him. He fondly ruffled her hair.

"Hmm, very nice, but why are the rabbit’s eyes black?"

"Haha... Dad, you’re so silly. Rabbit eyes can be black, and they can also be red."

"Uh-huh, okay, okay, it’s Dad who’s ignorant."

"What does ignorant mean?"

"It means... Dad doesn’t know as much about rabbits as Little Star does."

"Yay, Mom, Little Star is smarter than Dad."

The couple exchanged a smile, "Yes, yes, Little Star is the smartest."

...

Early the next morning, Han Yi said he had something to do and left for the day. Little Star was bored at home, so Lin Wan took her to Shuhua’s place.

Little Star loves the bread Shuhua makes.

Lin Wan noticed that Aunt Jin and Shuhua’s shop had a long counter, with a three-tier display in the middle, and a separate checkout counter. Shuhua was at the register.

Business was doing well there, even in such hot weather, people were constantly coming and going.

There were quite a few new varieties of bread added, and because it was too hot inside, Lin Wan didn’t stay long and then took Little Star to Grandma’s, planning to ask about Shi Lan’s situation.

On the way, they happened to see Shen Rong with a child under the sun, looking around as if searching for something.

When Lin Wan noticed her, Shen Rong also saw her.

"Cousin."

"Why bring the child out in this heat without any shade?"

Shen Rong looked a bit embarrassed. She looked down at the child in her arms and quickly used her hand to shield them from the sun. "I didn’t have anything to do, so I came out to see if there was a suitable house."

Lin Wan raised an eyebrow and led her to a shady spot. Conveniently, there was a place selling soda nearby. Lin Wan bought two bottles.

Little Star was quite excited and, as soon as the soda was opened, took two big gulps.

Shen Rong’s child was also clamoring for a drink. Little kids get especially excited when they see this kind of thing.

"Didn’t your brother and sister-in-law say they were helping you find a house?"

Shen Rong shook her head, "I know. I was ignorant before and caused them a lot of trouble, so now I can’t trouble them anymore."

Lin Wan sighed and said, "If you really think that, I can help you. Next to our house, there’s a place my godmother used to rent to Shi Lan. She doesn’t need it anymore. If you’re looking for a place, you can stay there. Ten dollars a month."

"Cousin—"

Before Lin Wan finished speaking, Shen Rong was so touched that her eyes reddened, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

"Alright, you still have to pay for the place, so there’s no need to thank me."

"Cousin, I know you don’t like me, but no matter what, the kindness from you and Cousin will always stay in my heart."

"Let’s not talk about this anymore. You should properly take care of the child and live well. I still have things to do today, so tomorrow you can tidy up and find me."

"Okay, thank you, Cousin."

"Quickly take the child home, don’t let them get heatstroke."

After watching Shen Rong take the child away, Lin Wan took Little Star to Grandma’s while also planning to inquire about Shi Lan’s situation.

Little did she know that yesterday afternoon, Ning Jiang, Shi Lan, and Uncle Ning had taken a car back to their hometown. They left Shi Lan’s mother-in-law here to watch over the factory and the two kids.

Han Yi, on the other hand, had mysteriously vanished. When Lin Wan and Little Star returned home at night, Han Yi still hadn’t come back.

It wasn’t until after eight that he returned, smelling of smoke and alcohol. Although it wasn’t very strong, just being close to him made it evident that he’d been smoking and drinking.

Even though Chen Haichang told him not to investigate, Han Yi still cautiously checked things out and confirmed that Chen Haichang wasn’t lying, at least regarding the matters of the Mei family.

"Did you meet that Chen Haichang? What’s going on with you two that you can’t tell me?" Lin Wan made him some sour soup to help cleanse the alcohol from his system.

Once their daughter was asleep, Lin Wan asked worriedly.

"It’s nothing much, really. He just wanted me to do something for him."

"What is it?"

Han Yi smiled and kissed Lin Wan’s lips, then lay on the bed fanning himself, saying, "This Chen Haichang is actually Mr. Mei’s illegitimate son."

Lin Wan gasped in surprise, almost crying out loud.

The Mei family, what kind of people are they? The faults of the upper generation pass down to the lower generation. Seeing the signs in Mei Langchi, perhaps he might end up having an illegitimate child too. Three generations living under one roof, quite true to life.
