My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 331 - 35 Consultation

"Then she..." Lin Xiaoguai hesitated, not knowing how to ask. After all, she had heard from Shen Chi that many of the kidnapped girls were either violated or drugged for resisting fiercely.

And Xiao Niao...Her niece was quite headstrong in her memory.

"Rest assured, your niece is smart. Plus, she wasn’t held captive for long; she pretended to be unconscious the whole time. With so many girls abducted, the criminals didn’t pay her much attention," Shen Chi consoled.

Lin Xiaoguai breathed a sigh of relief, but soon she was puzzled again. In this life, Xiao Niao was saved thanks to Shen Chi and Chen Han’s intervention, but in the previous life...

No way, she quickly comforted herself in her heart, Didn’t Xiao Niao later come to visit you with her husband? That would mean she probably wasn’t trafficked to Hong Kong.

Even so, the thought of her niece going through such a terrifying ordeal was still distressing. After a moment’s thought, she said to Shen Chi, "Ask your colleague for Xiao Niao’s contact address. I’ll send her something."

"Okay," Shen Chi said with a smile, as he fondly ruffled her hair.

He didn’t mind his wife’s attitude towards her nieces and nephews, but if she could truly let go, that wouldn’t be a bad thing either.

He had his own selfish desires too; their beginning wasn’t a happy one, but he wished to untie the knots in her heart, even if it took a lifetime.

Lin Xiaoguai also smiled, guessing Shen Chi’s thoughts almost accurately, though she had never intended to point them out directly.

She had to admit, she liked that he always kept her in his thoughts, every second of every day.

A gentle warmth radiated from her eyes and brows. She leaned in and kissed him on the lips, saying with a light smile, "Thank you."

Shen Chi was not about to let her go and embraced her, deepening the kiss. His hand quietly slipped into Lin Xiaoguai’s clothes, about to undo a button, when suddenly Qiaoqiao’s cries were heard from the side.

The two of them jumped with a start and only then realized where they were.

With a helpless expression, Shen Chi sighed, and Lin Xiaoguai, clearing her throat, picked up Qiaoqiao and asked, "What happened to mommy’s baby?"

Naturally, Qiaoqiao didn’t respond; she just held up her finger, a bead of blood at its tip, looking aggrieved.

Lin Xiaoguai was stunned. "Where did you get this?"

Shen Chi nodded towards the nail clippers to the side, saying somewhat helplessly, "She must have been playing with the nail clippers."

Seeing Little Spring Breeze crawl over to grab the nail clippers, he quickly picked them up and stowed them in a drawer.

Lin Xiaoguai was both distressed and exasperated. "It seems these little ones won’t be as easy to look after as Little Niangao."

Little Niangao was so sensible when young, never touching anything unfamiliar or dangerous, which had completely blind-sided her in this respect.

"I heard from Xiuwa that the farm is ready for sowing?" Shen Zhangming asked eagerly at dinner.

Lin Xiaoguai smiled and replied, "That’s right. I’ve prepared all the vegetable seeds. Grandpa, you’ll have to help out; I can’t manage it all by myself."

"Sure, no problem. The old man might not know much else, but farming is something I can handle," Shen Zhangming chuckled.

Thinking of how all that land would soon be theirs made him incomparably content, even happier than when his grandson became an admiral.

"Um, I could help too," Shen Mincheng piped up weakly.

After living together, he didn’t really have issues with his daughter-in-law, yet he always felt a bit intimidated by her.

Lin Xiaoguai had no idea she was regarded as intimidating. Smiling kindly at him, she nodded and said, "Then thank you, father-in-law."

"With all that land, do we need the military families to come help now?" Shen Chi interjected.

"What nonsense are you talking?" Shen Zhangming shot him a glare after only one sentence.

He turned to Lin Xiaoguai, "Don’t listen to Chi’s nonsense, Wanwan. What’s there to worry about with so much land? It’s just planting and transplanting - I can handle it. No need to waste money hiring others. You young people don’t know the value of money when you have too much."

Lin Xiaoguai thought for a moment, then shook her head, "Grandpa, there’s nearly two thousand mu of land that needs sowing; we have to hire people. Plus, you don’t have to do the work yourself; just overseeing the workers will be enough."

With his granddaughter-in-law also saying so, Shen Zhangming did not object further, though he said with slight displeasure, "I said I could do it..."

"Grandpa, managing those workers is no small task. If no one watches over them, and they slack off, won’t we be the losers? Besides, we need to know who’s good at farming so we can decide who should be the supervisor and who an ordinary laborer," Lin Xiaoguai coaxed.

"Are you saying I should decide who gets to be the boss?" Shen Zhangming said with glee.

In the old man’s heart, it was as if it were akin to being chosen as the production team leader back in the day. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
