Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1349: Chapter 1346 Welcoming

He directly asked, “Who are all of you children from? I am Chu Jin, and we have come back to bring presents for Eldest Cousin and Second Cousin.”

“Chu Jin?” Chu Bo, upon hearing this, opened his eyes wide in disbelief and joyfully ran alongside the carriage. “I’m Chu Bo! You’ve grown so tall I didn’t even recognize you!”

As a child, Chu Jin had been a little fatty, but over the years, as he aged, he shot up like bamboo and became a handsome young man.

Chu Bo, on the contrary, had been frail and thin as a child. Later, as the Chu family prospered, Madam Wang and Chu Cai, who were both honest and naïve, believed that being fat was a sign of fortune. They didn’t want their children to endure the hardships they had faced; in every aspect they followed the lead of the elder, except when it came to food, where they did not restrain their children.

And so Chu Bo had become the little fatty.

“Haven’t you been exercising? I remember Second Cousin practicing martial arts,” Chu Jin said, his brow furrowing as he saw Chu Bo’s big belly.

He remembered his mother saying that being too fat was bad for one’s health and made one prone to illness. He had even gone so far as to consult with Uncle Lu, whose medical skill was renowned in the capital, and with his affirmation, Chu Jin had placed even more importance on martial arts training and was very disciplined.

Chu Bo, somewhat embarrassed, scratched his head and sheepishly said, “I couldn’t help it; there was just too much delicious food, and my mouth is too greedy. I couldn’t resist eating too much.”

“Eating too much isn’t the issue. You can practice martial arts. If you train every day, you won’t be this fat. Let me tell you, getting fat is bad for your health. If you get sick, you’ll lose your appetite for delicious food. That would be a huge loss,” Chu Jin said, shaking his head with a look that said how pitiful you’d be if that happened.

Chu Bo was startled into agreement, admitting Chu Jin was right, and declared with great courage, gritting his teeth, “Fine, from now on I’ll practice martial arts every day.”

“That’s more like it,” Chu Jin said with satisfaction, believing he had grown up substantially.

Because more and more people were gathering, the carriage slowed down considerably.

Chu Jin directly jumped down from the carriage.

“Grandma, I’ve found Chu Bo,” Chu Jin didn’t forget to inform Madam Liu inside the carriage.

Madam Liu had already heard the noises, but she felt somewhat groggy from sitting in the carriage for too long.

She lifted the carriage curtain.

At a glance, she saw her chubby grandson and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Abo, how did you get so fat?”

Chu Bo: “…” He was struck hard once again.

“Grandma, you’re back! Mother was just saying this morning, wondering when you would arrive,” Chu Bo said, then slapped his head, “Ah, I need to hurry back and inform Mother and the others. Take your time, Grandma.”

With that, he took off running toward the old residence.

At that moment, Madam Zhang and Madam Wang were entertaining guests at the old residence.

It didn’t matter whether they were wealthy merchants and officials from County City or villagers and relatives from the countryside; there were many people, and with just the two of them to entertain the female guests, they were indeed running off their feet.

Madam Zhang had also wanted to call for Chu Qingxiang to come and help, but although the message had been sent, there was still no sign of her at this time.

“Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, Grandma, and Brother Chu Jin are back!” Chu Bo ran into the room, found Madam Wang, and shouted at the top of his voice.

With that, everyone knew that Madam Liu had returned.

Madam Wang was the first to react, hurriedly heading to the entrance to greet them.

Following her were Chu Lin and Chu Cai, the two brothers, and then Madam Zhang, along with all the guests from the room.

Everyone had heard that Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen were returning.
