Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 500: Chapter 493: Shen Mingzhu or Shen Baozhu

After sending Shen Mingzhu away, Sisi hurriedly warned Granny Zhao in a serious tone, "Granny, that Shen Mingzhu is no good. You don’t have to be polite to her in the future."

"It was Granny Wu who said that." Sisi added another sentence afterward.

Originally, Granny Zhao wanted to scold Sisi, but once she heard it was Mrs. Wu who said it, she held her tongue. Actually, she didn’t like Shen Mingzhu much either; according to the old sayings in Sui City, Shen Mingzhu was too slippery (unreliable), with her eyes darting around, not looking like a sincere person.

"You should be careful yourself, and interact less with Shen Mingzhu. It’s quite strange, Granny Wu’s family are all decent people, how could they have married such a granddaughter-in-law? Really odd!" Granny Zhao grumbled.

However, Sisi underestimated the thickness of Shen Mingzhu’s skin. The very next morning, she came over carrying a pot of steaming hot mutton soup and a stack of flatbreads, clearly determined to have breakfast at Sisi’s house!

Sisi was still lying on the kang bed, with little Du Du pushing up his butt next to her ear and calling out "ah ah". Curiously, he occasionally touched her face with his soft and tender little hands, crawling on her face, and sometimes even delivering them into Sisi’s mouth. Sisi would gently bite his fingers a couple of times, and the little guy would giggle. Sisi felt her heart melt.

Tian Xinhua had returned from practicing punches outside. He’s been doing his daily training since he was three years old without a break, except for the night of his wedding, which also showed the depth of Tian Xinhua’s perseverance.

Seeing Tian Xinhua only in a sweatshirt, with his sturdy arms exposed, Shen Mingzhu’s eyes lit up, greatly envious of Sisi’s good fortune. Vice Secretary Tian was not only handsome and capable, but looking at his solid build, he must be incredibly impressive in bed. How did He Sisi earn such good luck in a past life?

Thinking of her own husband’s frail body at home, Shen Mingzhu couldn’t help but feel a few more pangs of jealousy toward Sisi. Initially, she felt a twinge of guilt for what she was planning to do next, but due to this psychological dissonance, that guilt had long since disappeared.

Tian Xinhua didn’t recognize Shen Mingzhu, he just nodded at her briefly without a smile, and then went to take a shower.

Granny Zhao greeted Shen Mingzhu to sit down in the dining room. Having been tipped off by Sisi, she couldn’t warm up to Shen Mingzhu either, maintaining a detached facade. Shen Mingzhu was internally retching, but she still had to put on an indifferent face and sweet-talk Granny Zhao to cheer her up.

Humph, once I succeed, who cares if you snub me with your cold faces!

Tian Xinhua quickly finished his bath, got dressed, and went to the room, where he saw his son drinking milk from Sisi, half his body leaning over her.

Sisi, half-asleep, let Du Du fiddle around, as she had been kept up most of the night by Tian Xinhua and then woke up early to her son’s cries. Now she just wanted to catch up on sleep.

Seeing that expanse of whiteness, and thinking back to how it was squeezed and deformed in his hands the night before, Tian Xinhua’s eyes darkened with desire. He drew in a deep breath, and upon closer inspection, he saw his son was already full and was actually just playing around.

I don’t even get to play with it, and this little rascal does?

Without thinking, Tian Xinhua picked up his son, tossing the chubby kid to one side and tenderly covered his wife’s clothes properly, of course not without taking advantage of the situation!

Du Du thought his daddy was playing with him, and gleefully started laughing, panting as he crawled back over. In no time, his swaddling clothes came loose, revealing his little blue buttocks, which looked irresistibly biteable.

Du Du was developing very well, even though he was only four-and-a-half months old, he could already sit and crawl, albeit slowly; compared to other kids his age, he was quite impressive.

Tian Xinhua looked disdainfully at his son, and once Du Du managed to crawl over, with a flick of his finger, he whisked the little guy to the other side again.

Undeterred, Du Du continued to huff and puff his way back, and Tian Xinhua flicked him away once more. Crawl again, another flick... Tian Xinhua watched his son’s foolish antics and felt an immense surge of satisfaction, dissipating the frustration of being sprayed by this little hot geyser last night!

But while father was happy, his son felt defeated. After the ninth time being hooked away by Tian Xinhua, Du Du finally couldn’t take it anymore, his little mouth downturned.

"Wah!"

The earth-shattering cry echoed throughout the big courtyard!

Du Du really was an easy child to take care of—able to eat, sleep, and amuse himself. Aside from crying a bit when hungry, he otherwise wouldn’t cry, even if he rolled off the kang, he would just pout and hum a few times.

But once he cried, it was a big deal; his wailing could be heard throughout the entire courtyard. It was a case of ’silent until the sudden outburst that shocked everyone’—this referred precisely to young Du Du!

Sisi was now completely deprived of any desire to sleep, and with strong irritation, she hammered Tian Xinhua several times, but Tian Xinhua just laughed it off without dodging.

Granny Zhao heard the noise and barged in, seeing her precious grandchild curled up at the head of the kang crying, while those heartless parents were still flirting with each other? (Sisi frustratedly thought: Granny, I’m taking revenge for your little darling!)

Granny Zhao, distressed, quickly scooped up Du Du and shot dagger glares at the innocent-acting couple, and said to Du Du, still sobbing, "Du Du, don’t cry anymore, okay? Daddy and Mama are naughty. Let’s see how Grandma punishes them!"

With that, Granny Zhao playfully slapped Sisi and Tian Xinhua a few times, making crisp sounds, and the little guy seemed to find it amusing, his round eyes wide and his small mouth slightly open, watching with great interest.

Then, a drop of crystal-clear drool just like that dripped down, forming a long silvery thread, landing on Granny Zhao’s hand.

"Pfft"

Sisi couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore. Her own son was just too adorable no matter how she looked at him!

When Du Du saw Sisi laughing, he also giggled along, flailing his little hands about, extremely delighted, having already forgotten about his heartless daddy’s earlier bullying!

Even though there were still two bright, shiny tears hanging on his chubby cheeks!

Granny Zhao, holding Du Du, left in high spirits. Sisi, after being agitated by her son, couldn’t possibly sleep anymore, and thinking about Shen Mingzhu still outside, she became increasingly annoyed.

"Ugh, that Shen Mingzhu is really annoying. I have no idea what she’s up to. She’s like a leech, sticking to me and not letting go."

"Is Shen Mingzhu that woman outside?"

Tian Xinhua was helping Sisi put on a sweater and recalled the fashionable and pretty young woman outside, frowning deeply. He’d had a bad first impression of this woman, because he was not home when Mrs. Wu came by, so he didn’t recognize Shen Mingzhu.

"Yeah, it’s so bothersome."

Sisi recounted how she met Mrs. Wu and mentioned Mrs. Wu’s warning to be wary of Shen Mingzhu.

Tian Xinhua too felt something suspicious about Shen Mingzhu and, after some thought, said, "Ah Nan, don’t worry. If you don’t like her, don’t force yourself. How about this, I’ll have someone investigate Shen Mingzhu. The Shen Baozhu you mentioned last time should be here within a couple of days..."

"Wait a second."

Sisi and Tian Xinhua paused simultaneously, exchanging a glance and revealing a knowing smile.
