Honey, you didn’t really drugged me, did you?

Chapter 138: Chapter 106 Husband, Today I Am Really, Really Happy_3 Chapter 138: Chapter 106 Husband, Today I Am Really, Really Happy_3 Su Yunjin was a woman raised under the confining norms of a feudal society, so her thoughts also conformed to the expectations of women of her era.

Thus, regarding Chen Jie’s future, she could anticipate it and was also able to accept it.

As long as Chen Jie still loved her, that was enough.

The two shared many heart-to-heart conversations, with Mrs.

Bai recounting her life experiences, and Su Yunjin listened intently to the teachings of her senior, absorbing what she could use.

For instance, Mrs.

Bai had mentioned that time when Wu Zhong went to Yihong House and, upon returning, she neither cried nor made a fuss, treating him as well as before.

But Wu Zhong himself couldn’t let it go, feeling morally condemned, and from then on, was even better to her and more restrained in his actions.

“Yunjin, remember, if a man errs and you don’t want to divorce him, don’t show it.

If you keep quarreling non-stop, he’ll grow even more tired of you, and if there’s any temptation from outside, he might just be lured away.

By then, all your crying and wailing will be of no use; you’ll have pushed him into another woman’s arms…”

…

After resting at the inn the whole afternoon, in the evening, Mrs.

Bai and Wu Zhong left first.

Whereas Chen Jie, Su Yunjin, Daisy, and Su Yunrui stayed behind.

Today Chen Jie would not stay at the Bai Family’s home for two reasons.

First, the White Tiger Hall Master, Peng Shizhong, was staying with the Bai Family, and they had to reserve their largest guest room for him; Chen Jie and his wife had nowhere else to stay.

Second, Chen Jie and his family also needed to go back home to pack some things.

They intended to bring some valuables into the city.

Thus, they had their dinner in the city, at the same wonton soup place they had eaten at previously with Ni Wenjun.

“Owner, three bowls of meat wontons.”

Chen Jie called out to the owner.

Soon, the owner had the wontons ready.

Daisy hurriedly spooned a large wonton into her mouth, but it was so hot that she had to keep her mouth open, gasping for air, yet she still did not spit out the steaming wonton.

“Slow down, slow down.”

Su Yunjin chided softly from the side, “No one’s fighting you for it.”

Meanwhile, Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin and asked, “Wife, what did Aunt Bai tell you?”

He was very curious about what Mrs.

Bai had said to his wife.

Su Yunjin shook her head and responded, “Nothing at all.”

“What, you won’t even share your heart’s words with your husband?”

Hearing this, Su Yunjin fell silent for a moment before saying, “Aunt Bai mentioned how Uncle Zhong seems to have been to Yihong House and did something to betray her!”

“Really?!”

Chen Jie was startled, then quickly asked, “Did Aunt Bai confirm this?”

Su Yunjin said, “Sometimes a woman’s intuition is very accurate; she just doesn’t wish to say it out loud.”

Chen Jie asked, “What if it’s a misunderstanding concerning Uncle Zhong?”

“Could it be?”

Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie.

For some reason, Chen Jie felt slightly guilty and said, “Why are you staring at me like that?

I’m not the one who went.”

At this moment, Daisy looked up at Chen Jie and inquired, “Brother-in-law, is Yihong House a restaurant?

Do they make big pork knuckles?”

Chen Jie, upon hearing this, had an odd expression and replied, “Little kid, stop asking nonsense.

They don’t serve pork knuckles there, they serve seafood.”

“What’s seafood?”

Daisy, who did not know what the sea was, asked in confusion.

Chen Jie said, “You’ll know when you grow up.”

After speaking, he looked at Su Yunjin and said, “So Auntie only told you that much.”

“Yes, she told me to keep a close eye on my husband.

Auntie said that there’s no cat in this world that doesn’t steal food.”

“Cough cough…”

Chen Jie coughed, then very seriously said, “Wife, rest assured, I’m not the kind of cat you’re talking about!”

“Really?”

Su Yunjin’s skeptical gaze remained fixed on Chen Jie.

Chen Jie raised his hand, assuring her that he was not the type to sneak off to the second floor.

At the same time, he quickly changed the subject, not wanting to linger too long on this matter.

After they had eaten their fill, Chen Jie took his wife and Daisy back home.

As soon as they reached Xiantao Village, Chen Jie felt that something was different because every young person they met on the road would affably greet him with, “Fourth Brother Jiu Si,” their voices clearly conveying flattery.

Before, Su Yunjin, without powerful backing in the village, had not been spared from bullying, but now, everyone greeted her respectfully with, “Sister-in-law.”

Those who were older treated Yunjin kindly, always remarking, “You’ve married a good man.”

Chen Jie blushed at their praise.

Was he really as good as they said?

However, the change in attitude was indeed drastic and palpable.

Not until Chen Jie encountered Chen Xiaohu did he learn the reason.

It turned out the news that Chen Jie had been taken in as an adoptive son by Peng Shizhong and would soon enter the city to become a Young Master had spread all over the village.

Upon hearing the news, everyone in the village was astonished.

Someone asked, “Hey, what’s the bigger deal, being an adoptive son to Peng Shizhong or our local Fishery Manager?”

Immediately someone answered, “Do you even have to ask?

Of course, being Peng Shizhong’s adoptive son is a bigger deal, and he’s going to the county too.

Just think about the life in the county, it’s way more comfortable than here!”

“That’s right, let me tell you, Peng Shizhong has no son.

Being his adoptive son means eventually inheriting Peng Shizhong’s fortune, even possibly the White Tiger Hall for Jiu Si.

Now tell me, which position is greater!”

“White Tiger Hall!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s jaws dropped.

They all knew that the county’s guild hall masters were on par with arrest officers and even the County Magistrate, making them, in the eyes of the common folk, almost like lords.

That was out of reach for them!

For these lower-class commoners, the biggest official they might ever see in their lifetimes was the Fishery Manager.

Now that they had heard about Chen Jie’s prospects, they were utterly envious.

It was like a student from a remote village who was going off to settle in a big city after graduating from a reputable university and doing well for himself.
