“Of course, I did!” Uncle Fu who was holding his youngest son in his arms looked at Zi Zan exasperatedly. “You and Dong Dong have been sending a bunch of pastries and cakes to our family every day.”
“How can I let you leave without sharing something?”
Uncle Fu was simply speechless when he thought about how his daughters and sons had turned two sizes bigger because of all the cakes and pastries that Yu Dong and Zi Zan were sending them.
Yesterday was scones and the day before yesterday was cheesecakes before that was a pie made of meat.
His children were now used to peering out of the windows to wait for Zi Zan. In case she got delayed by something, the look of disappointment on the face of his children was something else.
Uncle Fu could not refuse Yu Dong and Zi Zan but it did not feel right to just take the pastries and cakes from them without sending anything back.
Fortunately, he got his hands on some berries which he dried and coated with sugar. Even though it was not much, Uncle Fu remembered that Yu Mai liked these sugar-coated berries a lot.
Even now he would come and ask for them, but these berries were brought by his sisters from their village and couldn’t be found in the Big River Village.
Thus, Uncle Fu could only wait for his sisters to come bring these berries.
Now that he had prepared these sugar-coated berries, how could he not send them to Yu Mai?

“My husband is right, Ah Zhan!” Aunt Wang hopped down the ox cart and walked over to where Zi Zan and her husband were standing. “This is a little something from us, there is no need to reject it. Do you want your Uncle Fu to get angry? He gets really scary when he gets angry.”
“Shut up,” Uncle Fu nudged his wife with his elbows. His gaze then moved to Wang Shuchun, when he saw her, his eyebrows delicately furrowed but he did not say anything.
Zi Zan on the other hand noticed that the Wang family had a guest, so she took her leave.
Once she was gone, Uncle Fu urged Wang Shuchun to come inside.
“Goodness, look at you. When I saw you the last time, you at least had some flesh in your face but now you look simply too thin, it seems like Old Madam Yao is making you work to your bones,” Fu Zhen did not wish to rebuke Old Madam Yao but he couldn’t help but say a few words when he saw how pitiful Wang Shuchun was.
Even if she was a live-in daughter-in-law, Old Madam Yao should have treated her better. Why did it feel like that the woman was treating Wang Shuchun like a slave?
When Wang Shuchun heard the concern in Fu Zhen’s voice, her nose turned sour and her eyes turned red.
Her husband indeed cared for her but Yao Ning was scared of his mother and didn’t dare to go against her too much.
Which was the cause of her current condition.
If only Yao Ning could take a firm stand against his mother then she wouldn’t be in such a pitiful condition.
This was the first time someone had cared for her like this.
“Uncle, I am sorry for intruding on you and aunt. I will stay here for a while and then leave,” Wang Shuchun did not want to become a burden on her uncle and aunt.
Even her parents didn’t care for her she couldn’t make her uncle and aunt take care of her now, could she?
“Nonsense!” Fu Zhen rolled his eyes. “You can stay here as long as you want, your aunt earns enough to have foolish ideas like buying a four-horse carriage, so she can certainly raise you for a few months with ease.”
Aunt Wang touched her nose with embarrassment. “I just made a remark, that I can buy one, not that I was going to buy it.”
Uncle Fu rolled his eyes as he placed the bowl which Zi Zan gave to him. Inside the bowl were four quiche which smelled delectable and tantalising.
Wang Shuchun couldn’t help but take a long whiff and her mouth started to water. She swallowed harshly and questioned, “Uncle…what…what is this? It smells so good.”
“It’s quiche,” Fu Zhen answered with a frown. “Dong Dong—— well she is your aunt’s goddaughter. Her late mother left your aunt to take care of her.”
“Anyways, Dong Dong is thinking of opening a bakery and cafe. Which is why she is experimenting a lot with pastries and cakes, Every day she sends us something new that she has made and asks for a review.”
He then helplessly sighed and said to Wang Shuchun, “I don’t know why she even bothers, everything she comes up with tastes perfectly good and delicious. With Zan Zan’s skills and fire control, the pastries and cakes taste even better.”
When Wang Shuchun heard that quiche was a type of pastry, her eyes lit up. She immediately took a piece when Fu Zhen handed her without hesitation.
‘It is juicy and the seafood inside of it seems to be perfectly cooked. More importantly, even though the filling inside the tart is sumptuous and juicy…the pastry itself is crispy,’ Wang Shuchun thought while she looked at the perfect golden tart in her hand.
The delicious smell of the pastry made her stomach grumble and Wang Shuchun couldn’t help but take a bite.
The second Wang Shuchun took a bite, the sumptuous taste exploded inside of her mouth and her eyes widened in shock and surprise.
This—— was this still a simple pastry? Wang Shuchun couldn’t help but wonder.
Wang Shuchun chewed twice and the more she chewed the more her body shook and trembled.
It was too wonderful …so wonderful that Wang Shuchun wanted to cry!
