“Good, good, being able to eat is a blessing, a blessing!” Grandma Lu laughed and praised her, only to notice that Lin Nannan looked completely confused, not understanding a word she said. This made Grandma Lu chuckle even more.

This granddaughter-in-law was truly full of surprises.

Initially, the family had been somewhat reluctant, but seeing that Lin Nannan was nothing like the rumors, they couldn’t help but feel delighted. Especially since she was strong and could take care of Ah Heng, which was more important than anything else.

“If you’re still hungry, have some more!” Zhang Xiaofeng, seeing her daughter-in-law eating so contentedly, felt a surge of joy and couldn’t help but offer.

Lin Nannan waved her hand politely. “No, no more. I’m stuffed.”

The truth was, during her few days at the Lin family, she hadn’t eaten her fill. Yesterday, there were too many people, so she didn’t get a chance to eat much. This morning, she couldn’t resist and ended up overeating.

When Lu Heng lay back down on the bed, he heard bursts of laughter from outside. He was momentarily stunned but before he could say anything, he heard his father say, “This wife of yours is much better than the previous one!”

“Ah Heng, I know you’re a principled person and don’t want to burden others, but your wife’s situation… if she went to another family, who knows how she’d be treated? She’s also a pitiful soul. You wouldn’t want her to be bullied like before, would you?” Lu Fang finished his question and, seeing his son remain silent, knew he agreed. He continued, “I promise you, in our family, she won’t be bullied. Everyone will treat her well. You need someone by your side, and she’s strong enough to take care of you. When your mother and I are gone, we can rest easy.”

“Dad!” These words left Lu Heng feeling deeply conflicted.

He didn’t regret becoming like this, but he hated burdening his parents.

He could not let his parents experience the pain of losing their child…

“Lu Yuan and Lu Ming are kind-hearted. They’ll help out in the future, so your wife won’t have a hard life…” Lu Fang rambled on, making it impossible for Lu Heng to refuse.

He couldn’t bear to disappoint his parents, and Lin Nannan’s personality, as his father had said, really wasn’t suited for another family. So, he didn’t refuse.

Thinking about what Lin Nannan had said last night, he felt a bit more confident and even a little hopeful…

…

After eating her fill, Lin Nannan thought about helping with the cleanup, but remembering the dishes she had broken at the Lin family, she felt a bit guilty.

Fortunately, no one in the Lu family expected her to do any work. They simply asked her to stay in the room with Lu Heng and wait for Lu Yuan to take her to the fields later.

Not wanting to give the impression that she was deliberately causing trouble, Lin Nannan obediently returned to the room.

As soon as she entered, she asked playfully, “Have you eaten yet? The stir-fried pickled vegetables with shredded meat this morning were delicious. I learned from Ah Yuan and ate three buns.” Feeling that wasn’t enough, she gestured with her hands, which made Lu Heng laugh.

The man, who had been gloomy and depressed due to his injury, suddenly relaxed his furrowed brows. His smiling eyes sparkled like stars, leaving Lin Nannan momentarily stunned.

So, someone could look so beautiful when they smiled.

Lu Heng, being stared at so intently by her curious eyes, felt a bit uneasy despite his usual composure. Especially since he had nearly been stripped and “eaten” last night, he cleared his throat, hoping his wife would snap out of it…

Lin Nannan did snap out of it, but her eyes sparkled with excitement as she said, “Lu Heng, you look so good when you smile. Don’t keep frowning like that. It’s ugly.”

Completely forgetting how shocked she had been when she first saw Lu Heng, Lin Nannan boldly declared that a smiling Lu Heng was the best.
