Witty Wife, Better Life

Li Hongjun had taken nearly half a month of leave, and as soon as he returned, he hurriedly attended to the piled-up work on his desk.

After Shen Yunfang came back, the first thing she did was to take the two children to the bathhouse for a good bath.

They had been back in their hometown for nearly ten days without the facilities for bathing. They had just made do for those days.

This was a case of “It is easy to adapt from frugality to luxury and hard to return to frugality from luxury.” When they were living in the countryside, not bathing for ten days or half a month didn’t feel odd. Now accustomed to bathing regularly, even skipping two days felt unbearably itchy all over.

When she was walking home with the children after their baths, they met several military wives who, seeing the mourning bands on their arms, gathered around to inquire what had happened.

There was nothing she couldn’t say. Shen Yunfang briefly shared the news of her mother-in-law’s death but didn’t elaborate on the specifics; she merely mentioned it was due to illness. This was agreed upon with Li Hongjun; they couldn’t recklessly discuss how the old lady had frightened herself to death after being detained.
