After Mother Remarried, I Laid Down Three Ground Rules With My Stepfather

Reborn into this life before the age of two, my Father vanished on his way to the provincial exam in the capital—alive, he was never found; dead, his body never returned. That very month, Grandfa...

Chapter 5 Changsheng was shocked

A quarter of an hour later, Wan Changsheng saw a big and a small person walking towards him from afar. The big one was Da Qiangzi, and the small one walked in an indescribably beautiful way, with one small hand slightly resting on his back, his little body straight, and he walked neither slowly nor quickly, just like a young master raised by a wealthy family.

Not far behind, two women came, carrying baskets, and seemed to be going to the river to wash clothes. He could tell at a glance that the young and pretty one among them was Mei Niang. There were few women in the countryside who were prettier than her.

It seemed that she also wanted to meet him.

Changsheng stood up and looked at the child coming towards him with a smile. Daqiangzi had stopped. The little boy looked up at him and continued to walk towards him slowly.

What a cute kid, he likes it now.

He looked at Mei Niang out of the corner of his eye and saw that the young woman was walking towards the creek on his side, closely following her son.

Wan Changsheng's heart was bubbling with joy, and at this moment, he even wanted to run towards the mother and daughter.

But he knew he couldn't do that because it would scare the child and her.

"Mei Niang, that's Wan Changsheng. Come on, I'll take you over to talk to him. You can also see in person if it's a good match. We're going to be together for a lifetime and for many years, so you should see if he's a good match for you."

Mei Niang blushed but nodded. Her son was not far ahead and she didn't know if he was afraid or not.

It would be better for me to go there with my sister-in-law.

Chang Shun stopped less than ten feet away from Wan Changsheng.

Wan Changsheng smiled and said, "You are Chang Shun, right?"

Chang Shun nodded and bowed politely: "I, Chang Shun, greet Uncle Wan."

Just as he was about to speak, his aunt's voice came from behind: "Changsheng, if you have time, come sit here with my nephew. Dashun, your mother and I are washing clothes by the river. Let's go back together later."

Chang Shun nodded, and his mother still followed him. Didn’t she say that she would just take a look from a distance?

Wan Changsheng smiled and said, "Mrs. He, I just happen to be free. The weather is good and warm today. I'll sit with Dashun. Don't worry, Mrs. Dashun."

Mei Niang blushed: "I have nothing to worry about, sister-in-law, let's go and do the laundry."

He Hu nodded. Although there were few people coming to the riverside at noon, it was hard to say. She couldn't tell anyone before the matter was done.

Wan Changsheng's eyes seemed to be glued to Mei Niang. She was getting more and more beautiful, even more beautiful than when she was a teenager.

Chang Shun had no idea what Wan Changsheng was thinking. If he knew what he was thinking, he would probably curl his lips. His mother was good-looking, but she had suffered too much in recent years and was too worried. Her skin was a little sallow and her beauty had diminished a lot. In addition, her clothes were not good either. At present, she could only be said to be good-looking.

"Uncle Changsheng, maybe we can go sit over there?"

Wan Changsheng suddenly came to his senses. There was still someone in front of him who could make the decision. Whether he and Mei Niang could succeed would probably be decided by this child.

"Okay, Dashun, sit on the back slope." He walked forward and arrived in a few steps. He picked up a big stone and wiped it with a towel. "Dashun, sit here."

He also sat down on another stone and looked at the child with a smile.

Chang Shun took a liking to the young man in front of him almost at first sight. He lived to be sixty years old in his previous life, so he was quite good at judging people.

His height is estimated to be over 1.8 meters, which is quite tall in that era. His biological father is of good height, but is probably only 1.75 meters tall.

He has a somewhat square face, with slightly dark skin, but his eyes are well-shaped, bright and sparkling.

He is not handsome, but with his tall and straight figure, he gives people a safe feeling.

Such a person fits his ideal father image.

Orphans and widows still need someone to rely on, otherwise anyone can bully you.

"Uncle Changsheng, my name is Chang Shun, and I am seven years old."

Wan Changsheng was a little panicked because the child was too serious.

"Dashun, my name is Wan Changsheng, I'm from Wanjia Village, I'm 26 years old this year, I joined the army at the age of 17, and served as a soldier for seven years, but I was always doing odd jobs for the military doctor and never really went to the battlefield.

I live alone now. My parents have passed away. I only have one older brother, but our family separated before he joined the army. I don’t have any skills. I learned some martial arts from others in the barracks, but they are not very good. I only dare to hunt small prey and collect some herbs in the mountains.

To be honest, the income is average, but I can get by." Wan Changsheng simply introduced himself. The children came to understand him, so there was no need for them to ask. He didn't want to hide anything that needed to be said.

"Dashun, I know you came here today just to get to know me, so just listen to me talk about myself first, and then ask me if you have any questions.

If you and your son are willing to live with me, I will treat your mother sincerely and you as my own child. Don't worry about this. I keep my word.

In addition, I can also read to you. As for the extent of my reading, I can’t say for sure now, but I will do my best.”

Chang Shun was satisfied after listening to what he said. He thought this man was a very sensible person and not the timid one. He liked him.

A man should act like a man. He was a doctor in his previous life, but he has always been a manly man, and his wife loves his masculinity.

It was a pity that he would never see his beloved wife and son again in this life, which made him feel a brief pain in his heart.

When I heard him talk about picking herbs, I was secretly happy. He could also pick herbs and achieve financial freedom earlier. He would say everything he should ask for today.

Things have to be put on the table and discussed. It's not his character to not talk about it beforehand and then grumble about it afterwards.

"Uncle Changsheng, we met today to discuss the matter openly. I am very satisfied that you took the initiative to say this."

The little boy frowned and said seriously that he was very satisfied. Wan Changsheng almost couldn't help laughing out loud. He controlled his hands with difficulty, for fear of reaching out to hug the child.

My God, this child is so cute. Just thinking about the possibility that a child like this will be his son in the future makes this marriage worth it.

Chang Shun said: "My father had an accident when I was less than two years old. To be honest, I have almost no memory of him."

His little face looked a little lost, his eyes a little sad, Wan Changsheng's heart suddenly tightened, "Dashun, dear, there's nothing we can do about it, dear, don't be sad."

Chang Shun lowered his eyes. Sad? Not really sad. No impression? No, the impression was very deep. He still remembered the look of slight disdain he saw on his mother. So, no matter if he was alive or not, he supported his mother's remarriage.

And the man in front of him is kind-hearted, tall and strong, which is just right for his gentle and somewhat soft mother.

He said this with another meaning, which was to tell the other person that he can be nice to him as much as he wants, that he has no impression of his biological father anymore, and that if you are nice to me, I will treat you as my real father.

"My mother and I are orphans and widows. These years have not been easy. Time is limited. I will be frank. We are all men, right? Do you agree with this?"

Wan Changsheng looked at the little man opposite with a smile in his eyes. He just stretched out his hand and gestured, asking him to continue speaking.

He didn't dare to speak, for fear that he would laugh. Such a young child spoke seriously about us men, my God.
