Chapter 342 - [Bonus ] They Are Good Men
" Qing'er why did you stop me?" when Madam Zhu and Shen Junxi were finally alone in the room next to Su Wan's, Shen Junxi hurriedly asked the question that he couldn't ask at the dining table " don't tell me that you went soft on those five brats, I'm telling you.? They are not as simple as they look"
Though Shen Junxi was impressed by Lin Chen and Lin Yu's wickedness. He was worried too, His niece was too simple and naive, she couldn't possibly stand a chance against those two brats! What if they do something immoral to her?
Shen Junxi wished that his niece was happy and he could see that she was really happy with these five brothers but they had too many secrets!
" you were not a simple man either when I married you," said Madam Zhu calmly as she took out her nightdress from her trunk and looked at the offender Shen Junxi who had gone blue in his face, she was afraid that her husband might go full-on baby mode so she added hurriedly " and no, I haven't gone soft on them either, but didn't you listen to what Wan Wan said? She said that the cloak she was wearing was made by her husbands, one sewed while the other hunted for fox, you should know as a butcher how hard it's to hunt those willy foxes"
Shen Junxi couldn't understand what his wife was talking about, yes it was hard but that cloak - it was too thin and three foxes were only good to cover the collar and nothing more" what about it? I understand that they worked hard on it but it's not enough for Wan Wan"
Seeing that her husband couldn't understand what she was trying to explain, Madam Zhu shook her head, sometimes she couldn't understand how Shen Junxi was successfully able to woo her " and she didn't have enough for years, Junxi.? Wan Wan has lived a rough life where she didn't even get the love of her own father much less anything that might make her happy. Think about it, if you never received any gifts from your own parent and then suddenly you are married to some strangers yet they display their kindness by doing such small things for you, don't you think that you will be touched by them? These five brothers showed Wan Wan the warmth when she needed it the most, I understand that you are trying to get close to her, as close as her only family member could get but you have to understand that it will never happen anymore. When Wan Wan needed you, you weren't with her, these five boys were, of course, she will be biased toward them. And I'm not saying that she will not love you, she will but you will never be able to replace the positions of those five brothers in her heart" she added immediately when she saw that her husband's expression was getting uglier by the second.
Shen Junxi gritted his teeth, feeling even more regretful than before, why didn't he look for his niece before why did he stubbornly stay behind and refuse to meet her just because he was afraid that she would reject him again, why did he listen to his ego and not his heart?
Madam Zhu sighed knowing that her husband was blaming himself, she placed her hand on his arm and gently coaxed " at least they are good to her, I agree that having five husbands is not an acceptable thing for you and me. But you have to admit that those five brothers are good, they are hard-working and does on Wan Wan, even though it will be a bit hard for her with five men, as long as they are willing to stay together everything will be fine."
" humph what good are they, it's my Wan Wan who helped them. Everything that they have is all because of my Wan Wan" said Shen Junxi stubbornly.
" and they gave her a home" countered Madam Zhu with ease.
"But that's -"
" you are bound to hate them," said Madam Zhu shaking her head " you believe that they stole Wan Wan from you and you will always hate them for that but think about it carefully, they have been married to Wan Wan for months yet she still not with a child do you know what it means?"
" what does it mean? Doesn't it mean that they are incapable ?"
Madam Zhu was shocked speechless, she didn't think that her husband would say such a thing, she shook her head in exasperation and pinched the bridge of her nose " no, it means they are being respectful to Wan Wan, they purchased her, she has no family, her father doesn't like her - if they wanted to force themselves on her they could have done with ease, she would be carrying their child by now but she isn't, they care about her and worry about her health, accept it. Though it's a bit embarrassing to have five husbands, this is the best outcome for Wan Wan. She could have been married to an old man, a widower with a child or something worse but she was fortunate enough to meet those five brothers "
Shen Junxi pursed his lips, he couldn't deny that. Su Wan was indeed lucky to have these five brothers who loved and respected her. They cared about her so much that they even went against the village head.
Madam Zhu knew that her husband wasn't unreasonable and would understand what she was saying, so she patted his arm and smiled" it's sister in law's blessing, she is still looking after Wan Wan. " she said nostalgically remembering Shen Shui, then she noticed the change in her husband's expression and changed the topic " I can't wait for our sons to meet Wan Wan they always wanted a sister, pity you sent them back home before us. And a second and third brother in law, they would be ecstatic!"
Shen Junxi paused, his body stiffening? unnaturally.? Frowning, Madam Zhu asked, " what is it ?"
But Shen Junxi didn't answer her question instead she placed his hands on her shoulders and made her swivel around so that she was facing him " mother and my two brothers always wanted a girl in our family and they will be indeed overjoyed about finding that Wan Wan is willing to be with us but? " Shen Junxi's face became stuffed with worry and regret " if they find out about this then they will definitely fight over Wan Wan and if that happens then just how much time Wan Wan will be able to allocate me?"
Madam Zhu "..." what kind of logic was this?
She could understand that Shen Junxi was a bit too obsessed with his niece but couldn't he understand that he was being a bit too selfish?
Just as she silently scolded Shen Junxi the other announced " so I am going to hide her under my wing, until I absolutely have to tell them. Like I am enough for Wan Wan, her eldest Uncle could give her everything that she wants !"
Madam Zhu "..." okay so he has finally gone mad.

On the other side, Lin Chen was trying to silently sneak into Su Wan's room. No matter what he will definitely get a kiss or two! He made such a big sacrifice last night, this was what he deserved!
