My Wife Is the Capitalist Heiress of the 1970s - Chapter 7

They can’t even get enough to eat with cornbread, let alone millet porridge, which is even tastier than cornbread.

Chen Wan couldn’t help but drool!

Looking up, I saw the handsome young man who had given me a piece of candy earlier!

The boy’s eyes were clear, and Chen Wan saw no pity or contempt in them!

“Hurry up and drink this bowl of millet porridge to fill your stomach!”

Zhou Wenshan’s voice rang in Chen Wan’s ears like a clear mountain spring!

The three children next to me were drooling as they looked at the bowl of millet porridge!

However, none of them tried to take the food from Chen Wan, which shows that they were all very well-mannered!

Seeing Chen Wan lost in thought, Zhou Wenshan pushed the bowl forward again, “What are you thinking about? Eat up!”

Chen Wan swallowed hard; her good upbringing taught her not to accept things from other people so casually!

“No need, I’m not very hungry yet. This should be your lunch, you can eat it yourself!”

Chen Wan turned her head away with difficulty, otherwise she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to refuse the bowl of millet porridge in front of her!

When did a bowl of millet porridge become so tempting to her?

Seeing Chen Wan’s stubbornness, Zhou Wenshan couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, I could hear your stomach growling from far away, it was as loud as thunder. You still say you’re not hungry? Stop being stubborn now, it’s more important to eat something to fill your stomach!”

Chen Wan blushed, and her stomach rumbled again, making her face turn even redder!

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Wan took the bowl, because she was really too hungry to resist!

Holding her bowl, Chen Wan said earnestly to Zhou Wenshan, “Thank you so much. I will definitely repay this kindness if I have the chance in the future!”

Zhou Wenshan thought to himself, “Who asked you to repay me? That’s not what I want. I want you to repay this kindness with your body!”

After Chen Wan finished speaking, she gulped down more than half a bowl of the drink in less than a minute!

Nowadays, the bowls used for eating in rural areas are quite large. After Chen Wan finished most of the bowl of millet porridge, she immediately felt much better, and her stomach felt warm and cozy!

Seeing that Chen Wan had drunk half a bowl of millet porridge, Zhou Wenshan handed her half a cornbread, saying, “Eat some more cornbread!”

Chen Wan gave him a deep look. Since she had already drunk a bowl of millet porridge, she didn’t care about the kindness of half a cornbread. In addition, she was really hungry, so she took the cornbread from Zhou Wenshan without hesitation, ate it in a few bites, and then gulped down the millet porridge!

Zhou Wenshan looked at the three children beside him. The oldest was about six or seven years old, and the youngest was only four or five!

Two boys and one girl!

They all stared longingly at him and Chen Wan, occasionally slurping their lips!

Zhou Wenshan sighed inwardly. It was truly a tragedy that such a young child was suffering as well.

When he came over, he was carrying two steamed buns. He gave half to Chen Wan and kept one and a half.

He took out another cornbread from his hand, broke it into three pieces, and handed them to the three children. “Uncle will treat you to cornbread today, okay? Next time, Uncle will treat you to candy!”

The boy who looked to be six or seven years old glanced at Zhou Wenshan and politely declined, “Thank you, Uncle, but this is your lunch. We can’t eat it!”

Zhou Wenshan smiled, surprised that such a young child was so sensible. His impression of Chen Wan’s family improved even more; one could see the character of adults from the upbringing of a child.

“It’s okay, Uncle’s house still has food. Shall we eat together?”

The boy hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn’t resist the temptation of the food. Since his aunt had also eaten, he said, “Thank you, Uncle!”

He reached out and took the three steamed buns, first giving the largest one to his youngest sister, then the other to his brother, and finally eating them himself!

Zhou Wenshan nodded repeatedly as he watched the boy’s actions. It was truly remarkable that such a young child could manage to distribute food in this way when he was hungry!

Zhou Wenshan also took out the remaining half of the cornbread and started eating. He still had work to do later, so he needed to eat something!

I don’t know if my parents have any leftovers for him. Regardless of whether there are leftovers or not, they definitely won’t give him a good look when he gets back!

He took the initiative to approach capitalists who were considered “black five categories” by everyone else, and he understood his parents’ worries!

But it’s rare for him to meet a woman who moves him so deeply. If he doesn’t give it a try and see if he can seize the opportunity to marry her, and instead remains as timid as before, then he’ll have wasted his time traveling through time!

On the other side, after eating half a cornbread and drinking a bowl of millet porridge, Chen Wan felt completely revitalized.

As if she had just walked through the gates of hell, she broke out in a cold sweat, and large beads of sweat rushed out of her pores, soaking her clothes and hair!

After sweating it out, she felt even better, her stomach felt warm, and the strength she had lost was slowly returning!

Zhou Wenshan frowned as he looked at her. Chen Wan’s condition had been a bit off earlier; she seemed to have lost all her energy and spirit!

He had encountered this situation before, and it was extremely dangerous.

The sweat Chen Wan produced just now was actually a good thing. It was cold sweat and also a form of night sweats. If it wasn’t expelled from the body, it would pose a huge threat to her health!

Chen Wan handed the empty bowl to Zhou Wenshan, her face regaining some color and no longer appearing so pale.

Her eyes appeared even larger on her thin face, and she said somewhat shyly, “Did I finish all your lunch?”

Zhou Wenshan took the empty bowl and said, “No, I still have leftover rice at home!”

Chen Wan breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that if she ate his food, he would go hungry all afternoon!

Chen Wan looked at Zhou Wenshan earnestly, “Thank you so much this time. My name is Chen Wan, and I will definitely repay you if I have the chance in the future!”

Zhou Wenshan almost blurted out the words “I’ll repay you with my body” again. “My name is Zhou Wenshan, I’m from this village. If you ever have any problems you can’t solve, you can come to me!”

Chen Wan smiled, her eyes narrowing, “Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you then!”

Although she said that, Chen Wan knew in her heart that if she frequently visited people because of her status as a “black five categories” capitalist, it would cause trouble for them!

So she verbally agreed, but never considered asking Zhou Wenshan for help!

If someone offers her help in her time of need, risking their life to bring her food, and she repays that kindness with ingratitude, wouldn’t that be worse than an animal?

Chen Wan’s upbringing prevented her from doing such a thing!

Seeing that Chen Wan was alright and just needed to rest more, Zhou Wenshan gave her a few words of advice and then took the empty bowl back to his own land.

As soon as he walked over, he saw Liu Cuihua staring at him with a dark expression!

He felt a chill run down his spine and asked, “Mom, why are you looking at me like that?”
