“Zhaodi’s father, why don’t you say something about how to handle Zhaodi’s marriage?” “What can I say? She is neither willing to marry into the Wang family nor the Zhong family. I can’t very well hold a knife to her neck and force her to marry.” “But the people from the Zhong family will be […]
Update: Here’s a schedule of the novels I’m translating. I’ve built up a bank and I have enough chapters of each for the next couple of months. MMPMH: Mon/Thu/Sun Top Giants: Tue/Wed/Sat/Sun Stepmother: Mon/Fri After a long while, Father Song finally reacted. He opened his mouth to speak but realised he still had half a […]
Zhong Jianguo lowered his head and asked, “You don’t want a stepmother?” “No!” The child stubbornly declared. “I don’t want a stepmother. I want to stay at Uncle’s house.” Zhong Jianguo lifted his eldest son onto his lap. “Your aunt has to take care of your sisters. If she has to take care of you […]
On the way back, Liu Yang asked Zhong Jianguo about his family. Zhong Jianguo answered truthfully. Liu Yang was satisfied with his attitude but hadn’t forgotten that Zhong Jianguo had been married before and had three children. Worried that this older man might deceive their family’s Song Zhaodi, he signalled his mother to keep an […]
Liu Yang was stunned, then quickly followed after coming back to his senses. “Mom, what’s wrong? Why don’t you agree? Zhong Jianguo is quite good.” “Your mother is afraid of war.” Father Song understood his wife well. “Bullets have no eyes. She’s afraid something might happen to Zhong Jianguo.” Liu Yang said, “Because of that? […]
Song Zhaodi: “Auntie, this Comrade Zhong is my biaoyi’s stepson. My biaoyi came over a few days ago to arrange this marriage for me. He’s a university graduate. I think he’s a good match and I plan to marry him. So please don’t mention Wang Degui in front of me anymore.” “A university graduate?” The […]
Zhong Jianguo couldn’t help but think of his childhood. His father only cared about Zhao Yin’s children, ignoring him and his brother. Holding his eldest son tighter, he promised, “I won’t!” The child held out his pinky. “Pinky promise?” Zhong Jianguo sighed helplessly. “Pinky promise.” “Pinky promise, once made, no changes for a hundred years.” […]
The Song family’s relatives were full of curiosity, all wondering who was so tactless as to cause trouble on someone’s wedding day. In Zhong Jianguo’s eyes, Song Zhaodi was a straightforward and honest person. To maintain her reputation, she answered truthfully when her relatives questioned her: “It was Wang Degui.” She turned to her student. […]
Song Zhaodi thought to herself—she had nowhere else to go even if she didn’t return. “I know, I won’t delay your important matters.” In her past life, Liu Ling had been a Shencheng native. Later, she moved to the capital, then travelled all over the world, spending half the year living in hotels. Yet, she […]
Before boarding the train, Song Zhaodi had already noticed that Zhong Dawa was a temperamental little boy. She had mentally prepared herself, so she didn’t get angry. Instead, she smiled and said, “I know you only have one Mom. I won’t ask you to call me Mom either—call me niang instead.” “Niang?” The child was […]
Zhong Jianguo was dumbfounded and couldn’t understand. “Why?” “I’ll move in once your room is properly cleaned,” Song Zhaodi glanced at the wall. Following her gaze, Zhong Jianguo’s face flashed with a hint of embarrassment. “That… that was my oversight.” “You didn’t expect me to come with you, so it’s normal that you didn’t clean […]
Around six o’clock, as the sky darkened, Zhong Dawa woke up, slipped on his shoes and walked outside. Seeing the person sitting in the living room, he froze in place. “Woke up and don’t recognise me anymore?” Song Zhaodi looked up when she heard movement. “Your dad went to buy groceries.” Zhong Dawa pursed his […]
Zhong Jianguo’s breath hitched. Was this woman smart or foolish? “Can I know exactly what you’re after?” “I did have a partner before—I didn’t lie about that—but he was also a university student,” Song Zhaodi said. “The reason I chose you… The conservativeness of the village is one factor, but not the main one. I […]
Zhong Dawa’s biological mother was a citizen of Shencheng. Though her family background was average, she had hardly cooked a meal in her life before marriage—not because she was busy with school or because she was naturally lazy, but because Dawa’s maternal grandmother was afraid she would sneak food from the kitchen. Zhong Jianguo couldn’t […]
Zhong Jianguo had already expected their reaction, so he remained unfazed and continued, “It’s not that I don’t trust Song Zhaodi.” “Then why are you asking me to investigate her?” Commander Liu was confused. “Is there something wrong with her? By all logic, her family has been farmers for generations. Producing a university student would […]
“Pfft!” Song Zhaodi couldn’t hold back her laughter and said, “Commander Zhong, if you’re free, go wash Erwa and Sanwa’s faces and hands so they can eat properly later.” Zhong Jianguo was stunned. He looked at Dawa, who had just gone out with a small basket, then at Song Zhaodi, who was smiling brightly. “Since […]
Zhong Jianguo’s hand trembled, goosebumps covered his skin and he almost spilled the bowl onto Sanwa’s face. “Song Zhaodi, can I ask which version of you is the real one?” Song Zhaodi replied, “The one you see now is the real me.” She paused before continuing, “You don’t act the same in front of your […]
Duan dasao anxiously said, “You can still laugh? Xiao Song, Dawa’s grandmothers are both here. My goodness, how did the two of them end up together? No, Dawa, quickly go find someone… but who? No one’s home—” “Saozi, don’t worry, it’s fine.” Song Zhaodi reassured her. “Can I trouble you to take the three children […]
Xiao Li wanted to remind him, You were even more nervous than me just now. But fearing Zhong Jianguo might scold him, he mumbled to himself instead and then asked, “Should I go start the car, Commander?” “Wait a moment, don’t rush,” Chief Liu stopped him. “Xiao Zhong, are you planning to avoid them? I […]
Song Zhaodi was afraid that Dawa might run too fast and fall down the stairs, so she didn’t dare to chase after him. “Zhong Dawa, stop right there! Who gave you this terrible idea?” “No one.” Zhong Dawa turned his head back. Seeing Song Zhaodi standing there with her hands on her hips, he mimicked […]
