Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 338 Lord Wu has a long way to go and a heavy responsibility to shoulder. Work hard!

Wu Qingfeng said gently, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

After saying that, he took Lin Chang'er's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work tonight, sister-in-law and aunt!"

Lin Chang'er waved her hand, "It's nothing, the most important thing is that everyone enjoys the meal!"

Wu Qingfeng lowered his eyes, still feeling somewhat guilty.

Lin Chang'er added, "After breakfast tomorrow, I'll slice two more braised ducks for you."

Wu Qingfeng smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

Lin Chang'er thought for a moment and then asked, "I recently made a kind of noodle. You can crumble it, sprinkle some seasoning on it, and eat it dry, or you can boil it in water and eat it, or boil it. Do you want some?"

Wu Qingfeng chuckled, "Alright!"

Lin Chang'er frowned and pinched the corner of his mouth. "You agree to everything? Are you just trying to appease me? Do you think I nag like an old hag?"

"How could that be?" Wu Qingfeng bent down to make it easier for her to touch him. "I'm overjoyed that you're thinking of me so much!"

His mother naturally cared about him, but as the matriarch of a prominent family, managing household affairs and social interactions had already consumed most of her energy.

Although his father wasn't exactly licentious, he still had one concubine and two mistresses.

The rivalry and infighting among women consumes a lot of a mother's energy, leaving her with little care and love for him.

In fact, he had always felt that the atmosphere at home was very strange, and that his father did not deserve his mother's wholehearted love.

Then, when he was assigned to a post outside the capital, he met Lin Chang'er.

He felt that having a wife was enough, and he would not follow in his father's footsteps.

Chang'er treated him with all her heart, so naturally he would cherish her with all his heart as well.

Simple and abundant, harmonious and content.

If possible, I will bring my mother here in the future so that she can also see the world outside.

Why waste your energy on that secluded courtyard and suffer for a man who isn't worth it?

He might have to give up the advantages his family could offer, but they will build their own network of connections.

Decades later, he might surpass the Wu family in influence and become a powerful force. His children, without the advantages of a powerful family, will also be free from its constraints, and can roam freely like eagles in the sky and fish in the water.

This is probably the kind of life Chang'er wants.

Lin Chang'er had no idea he had thought so far ahead. She pursed her lips and said, "That's good! Of course, it's okay if you think it's long-winded. You'll see how useful it is when you come back from your trip!"

"I know how good you are even without going out!" Wu Qingfeng put his arm around her waist, his eyes full of doting affection.

"Really?" Lin Chang'er looked up, her eyes meeting his, his gaze burning hot, making her cheeks flush red.

The sensation on my waist felt incredibly real, as if it were covered with a layer of charcoal.

Lin Chang'er's face burned intensely, and her waist felt like it was on fire. She quickly turned her face away to avoid his gaze.

Suddenly remembering something, he said, "My mother knows!"

"What?" Lin Chang'er rarely acted awkwardly, and Wu Qingfeng felt that her reaction was a bit strange, so he subconsciously asked back.

Lin Chang'er lowered her eyelashes and said softly, "My mother has found out about our relationship!"

This time, Wu Qingfeng understood. His eyes widened suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked nervously, "What did Auntie say?"

Lin Chang'er looked up, her eyes darting around, "What do you think?"

Wu Qingfeng raised an eyebrow. "Auntie has always liked me!" He was good at reading people's expressions.

Although Aunt Gu didn't talk much, every time he came over, she was especially concerned about whether he had eaten well and slept well!

Although he was an official, she could still play the fool.

Moreover, one's inner joy cannot be hidden.

Furthermore, if Aunt Gu disliked him and didn't want him to associate with Chang'er, she should have given him a cold shoulder openly or subtly when he came today.

Why would they help take care of these brothers?

Lin Chang'er chuckled, "You're quite confident!"

“Of course!” Wu Qingfeng put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer, saying softly, “No wonder the old lady looked at me with such kindness today. It seems she approves of me from the bottom of her heart.”

"You're so wonderful," Lin Chang'er poked his shoulder, "but what can I do? My mother, she can't bear to part with me!"

Wu Qingfeng shook his head. "Why don't you just say you don't want to go to the capital to deal with that bunch of troublemakers? Why are you using your aunt as an excuse?"

Lin Chang'er is a lively and unrestrained person. If you put her in the well, she will naturally take root and grow wildly.

If he were to confine her to the inner quarters, he probably wouldn't be able to keep her there; in fact, she would likely kick him out first.

Furthermore, both her livelihood and her plans concerning people's livelihood revolve around this place. The capital city would only restrict her actions, which would not only be a disappointment for her but also a great loss for the coastal areas.

Seeing that her little secret had been exposed, Lin Chang'er wasn't embarrassed at all. She tilted her head and smiled, saying, "What you said is true, but my mother really can't bear to part with me. Not only my mother, but everyone in the family, young and old, or if you go out and ask around, everyone will miss me, so..."

She curved her lips into a smile, which deepened. "Actually, let's think about it from another perspective. Your parents would definitely not want to accept a daughter-in-law like me. If they meet, they will probably only feel disgust towards each other."

"If you're caught in the middle, it will only make things more difficult for you. As for me, I'm someone who doesn't like to force myself. Besides, they are your biological parents no matter what. Whether they accept me or not is secondary, but I personally feel that you still need their understanding and blessings."

"Therefore, Lord Wu, you have a long way to go and a heavy responsibility to bear. Keep up the good work!"

Wu Qingfeng knew that she always thought things through differently from him, but he didn't expect her to have this attitude towards this matter.

The good news is that she won't abandon him just because his parents don't like her, and she always thinks of her best interests.

The bad news is that, although she doesn't care, he still needs his parents' approval to marry her.

Of course, he had already made his decision, so the bad news he was receiving wasn't really bad news.

Wu Qingfeng was in high spirits, and pressed his forehead against Lin Chang'er's, "This humble official has remembered. Does Madam Lin have any further instructions?"

Lin Chang'er's eyelashes trembled slightly. In both her lifetimes combined, this was the first time she had ever had such intimate contact with a man.

Her cheeks burned even redder, but fortunately, Wu Qingfeng didn't make any further moves.

Lin Chang'er quickly adjusted, lowered her eyelashes and thought for a moment, then said, "It's late, we should rest!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Qingfeng released his arm around her waist, took two steps back, bowed, and said, "This humble official takes his leave!"

Lin Chang'er chuckled, "You're so cheeky!"

Wu Qingfeng straightened up as well, "I've often heard my uncle say since I was little that henpecked husbands usually have good luck!"

Lin Chang'er: "..." This person doesn't have the rampant male chauvinism that's so prevalent in this era.

Of course, if he did that, she would definitely kick him out immediately.

Oh no, I mean I shouldn't associate with him. After all, this era is one where patriarchy and husband's authority reign supreme, and if I were to marry a chauvinistic man...

Has she gone mad?

Why would someone with a villa by the sea and a son and daughter want to serve such a tyrant?
