“Moving me around is very inconvenient!” Seeing that she genuinely didn’t understand, Lu Heng explained bluntly.
“What’s inconvenient about it? It’s just a simple task,” Lin Nannan replied dismissively, then steered the conversation back to the original topic. “Do you need to go to the bathroom?”
The usually composed Lu Heng finally blushed, awkwardly surrendering. “My dad will be here soon…”
“Can he manage alone?” Lin Nannan asked curiously.
“He can!” Lu Heng replied through gritted teeth.
Even if he couldn’t, he had to. If Lin Nannan were to carry him to the bathroom, he’d rather bang his head against the wall…
Lin Nannan’s eyes darted around as she said, “Alright, then you stay here. I’ll go find someone.”
She thought Lu Heng’s approach was too troublesome, but she was eager to check on the land, so she let him have his way.
Lu Heng turned his head to watch her hurriedly open the door and leave, feeling an uneasy sensation in his heart.
His wife gave him the impression that their future life would be chaotic, with not a moment of peace.
No matter how conflicted Lu Heng felt, Lin Nannan was very satisfied with her life.
Although there was no advanced technology, there was food and drink, and no danger. She liked it very much, so her smile was radiant, making people both amused and a little endeared by her seemingly naive demeanor. This fit the impression everyone had of Lin Nannan, so no one suspected her.
“Nannan, are you hungry? Breakfast is almost ready. Go wash your face first.” Grandma Lu, seeing Lin Nannan enter, didn’t show any disdain for her paralyzed grandson. Instead, her eyes were filled with affection for Lin Nannan.
Lin Nannan nodded familiarly and said with a smile, “Grandma, Ah Heng is awake. He won’t let me help. He wants Dad to come in.”
Grandma Lu was momentarily stunned by her straightforwardness, then chuckled and replied, “Your dad knows. He’ll be there soon.”
Knowing they wouldn’t neglect Lu Heng, Lin Nannan didn’t interfere further.
After washing up, she returned to find a steaming bowl of mixed-grain porridge on the table, cooling down, and a full basin of black flour buns tempting her to reach out.
Everything here was delicious to her. After all, she had never eaten food grown from the earth or raised on a farm, so she cherished every bite and found everything tasty.
“What are you all standing around for? Let’s eat. There’s work to do in the fields later.” Grandma Lu emerged from the kitchen, holding a basin of minced meat stir-fried with pickled vegetables. She smiled and called out, then reminded Lu Yuan, “Ah Yuan, your sister-in-law is new here. Take good care of her.”
“I know!” After witnessing her sister-in-law’s strength, Lu Yuan felt no one was more suited for her brother than Lin Nannan, so she genuinely liked her.
“Sister-in-law, eat up. There’s plenty!” Lu Yuan grabbed a black flour bun and handed it to Lin Nannan with a smile.
Lin Nannan accepted it without hesitation, showing none of the shyness typical of a new bride. It was as if she had grown up in the Lu family, which amused everyone.
Most brides were shy and reserved in the first few days after entering their new home, but Lin Nannan was the complete opposite—familiar and at ease, making people both laugh and feel tender toward her.
After all, everyone in the village knew how Lin Nannan had grown up, so they were even more forgiving of her.
“Burp!” Under Lu Yuan’s guidance, Lin Nannan learned to eat black flour buns with stir-fried pickled vegetables and meat. She devoured three buns and two bowls of rice soup, then let out a satisfied burp under everyone’s astonished gazes.
“Pfft!” Grandma Lu and the others couldn’t help but laugh at her carefree demeanor.
