Chapter 78 Zhizhi doesn't dislike me

"I have no children," Zhou Lin could only reply.

Although he didn't want to dampen the commander's joy.

"...No children?" Wen Changyu couldn't believe it.

But then she realized, "Is it because Zhizhi is eating too poorly and not getting enough nutrition that she can't get pregnant?"

Wen Jinzhou told Wen Changyu about the outrageous things the Xie family had done, including how they had taken all of Zhou Lin's allowance.

Wen Changyu couldn't help but scold Zhou Lin, "You're too honest. As for the allowance, Zhizhi is so honest. She gets whatever the Xie family asks for. Can't you give Zhizhi a little less?"

"Then should we use this money to buy more delicious food for Zhizhi?"

Zhou Lin listened without saying a word, only looking at Wen Changyu.

I don't know if the commander-in-chief was unaware of the inside story or was simply biased towards his own daughter.

Before Xie Zhizhi "came to her senses," everything, whether it was food or other necessities, was sent to the Xie family, just like money.

They said they were saving the money to buy some good food.

If Xie Zhizhi ever discovers he has any money on him, she'll squander it all.

Zhou Lin didn't want to explain this, but simply told Wen Changyu, "It's not because of Zhizhi, it's because of my health."

Although it was difficult to talk about, Zhou Lin still told everyone that he was missing a testicle because they were both men.

Zhou Lin felt there was no need to hide this matter.

Wen Changyu was stunned. He looked at Zhou Lin's lower body, his eyes filled with shock.

"...No, you can't have children anymore?" After a long while, Wen Changyu asked.

Zhou Lin shook his head, "It's just that the chances are half that of a normal person."

"Did she know about this before you married Zhizhi?" This was the only thing Wen Changyu cared about at the moment.

He needs to know if his daughter has been scammed.

Although Zhou Lin seems like a good man, he would absolutely not agree to his daughter being tricked into marriage.

His daughter has already suffered so much, does he really want to ruin her marriage for life?

He absolutely disagreed.

Fortunately, Zhou Lin said, "We know, and the Xie family knows too."

“Zhizhi…she didn’t look down on me,” Zhou Lin said in a low voice.

Xie Zhizhi doesn't seem to mind him now, although he hasn't dared to expose his ugliness to her. But Zhizhi truly doesn't seem to dislike him.

As for Xie Zhizhi from before, Zhou Lin considered those two years as a dream, and now his marriage was just beginning.

After Zhou Lin said that Xie Zhizhi didn't mind, the kitchen fell silent.

The commander-in-chief actually cooked three dishes.

As soon as Xie Zhizhi sat down, Wen Changyu put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into her bowl. "Zhou Lin said you like sweet and sour pork ribs. Try it and see how your dad makes it. See if it suits your taste."

When Wen Changyu spoke, he unconsciously used the title "father".

After saying that, as if afraid that Xie Zhizhi would be angry, he quickly and carefully glanced at Xie Zhizhi's expression, but Xie Zhizhi's eyes were focused on the dishes, and she picked up the ribs and stuffed them into her mouth.

After taking a bite, he gave a thumbs up, "Mmm, delicious, just as good as Zhou Lin's."

Hearing this, Wen Changyu was very happy and put several more pieces of ribs into her bowl. "Eat more if you like it. I'll go to the market first thing tomorrow morning and buy some good ribs. I'll cook them for you for lunch."

Wen Jinzhou couldn't help but remind him, "You have to go with Zhizhi to get the paternity test done first thing tomorrow morning."

"It's alright, I'll get up a little earlier, go buy some first, and then come back to get the branches!"

Wen Jinzhou then fell silent.

After that, Wen Changyu kept putting food on Xie Zhizhi's plate.

He put all the dishes he thought were good into Xie Zhizhi's bowl.

There were only three dishes to begin with, but he wanted to pile all the meat into Xie Zhizhi's bowl. Xie Zhizhi felt embarrassed and said, "I feel bad because of this. It's like I'm eating alone."

Now it was Wen Changyu's turn to feel embarrassed. In order not to let his daughter eat alone, Wen Changyu chose to serve food to Wen Jinzhou and Zhou Lin as well.

Wen Jinzhou and Zhou Lin exchanged a glance and silently pushed the bowl closer to their faces.

Seeing that the Commander's chopsticks were aimed at her again, Xie Zhizhi picked up a piece of pork rib and put it in the Commander's bowl. "We're all grown up now, you don't need to take care of us, you should eat too!"

Wen Changyu looked at the ribs in his bowl, and then listened to Xie Zhizhi's words, and his eyes welled up with tears again.

Yes, his daughter was found, but she's already twenty years old and a grown woman. She doesn't need him as her father for many things anymore.

Wen Changyu was very sad, but faced with the food his daughter had personally picked up, he quickly picked up his bowl and said, "Eat, eat, Daddy eats too, you eat too."

Commander Wen ate that piece of pork rib very clean.

Xie Zhizhi looked at his enthusiasm, as if he wanted to chew the bones to pieces and eat them clean.

Xie Zhizhi had no choice but to put two more pieces of pork ribs on his plate.

Commander Wen was even more moved, and he also put the bowl to his face. Before putting the bowl down, he quickly wiped his face with his hand.

He hates human traffickers. Without human traffickers, his daughter wouldn't have been lost, wouldn't have suffered, and he wouldn't have had to wait twenty years to eat food picked up by his daughter's own hands.

After Wen Changyu finished eating, he wanted to help them wash the dishes, but this time Zhou Lin and Xie Zhizhi both seriously refused.

But Wen Changyu still didn't seem to want to leave, so Wen Jinzhou pulled him away, saying, "Zhizhi still has work to do tonight, don't waste her time."

"Didn't you already go out to sell things during the day? Why do you still have to work at night?" Wen Changyu was displeased when he heard this.

"Is the Xie family still pressuring you to give them money?" This was the only reason Wen Changyu could think of.

Otherwise, with Zhou Lin's allowance, the two young people, who had no children, would never have to struggle financially.

Unless they're still raising a whole brood of bloodsucking leeches.

Xie Zhizhi shook her head. "No, it's because I need to go out every morning to sell hair clips and accessories. I make all of those myself."

"I go to buy it in the morning, and then use the afternoon and evening to make it. I save all the money I earn myself."

Wen Changyu immediately disagreed, saying, "It's too hard. You're so young, how can you endure such hardship? Stop working. You don't have enough money on hand, I'll get you some later."

"Have your second brother get some for you too. He's all alone, so it won't cost him anything."

"Take this and buy more things that girls like."

Wen Jinzhou tugged at his father's sleeve.

Wen Changyu looked at him, and Wen Jinzhou whispered to him, "Zhizhi earns a lot of money every day, don't talk nonsense."

"You make money to spend it, right? Your sister must be working so hard because she's short of money..."

“No, don’t talk nonsense,” Wen Jinzhou interrupted him.

Xie Zhizhi quickly chimed in, "It is indeed for spending money, but I also really enjoy making money, and besides, I don't lack money right now, so you don't need to worry about me."

This time, without giving Wen Changyu a chance to speak, Xie Zhizhi told him, "My stall business is pretty good. I can sell tens of yuan every morning."

"My goal is to grow bigger and stronger, create brilliance, start my own company in the future, go overseas, and become a female entrepreneur, not just for making money," Xie Zhizhi said, revealing her dream.

Wen Changyu was stunned when Xie Zhizhi said she earned tens of yuan every morning. He didn't hear Xie Zhizhi's later words very clearly, but he understood that his daughter was not a simple person, but a girl with great ambitions.

“A few dozen yuan a morning…” Wen Changyu murmured, realizing why his son was tugging at his sleeve. His words were clearly ruining his daughter’s bright future.

Not daring to jeopardize his daughter's bright future any longer, Wen Changyu left with Wen Jinzhou.

Upon returning to Wen Jinzhou's residence, Wen Changyu remarked to Wen Jinzhou, "Your sister is truly remarkable; she is indeed worthy of being a daughter of the Wen family."

“Your older brother is right. I recognized her as Jinci at a glance. She looks just like your mother, and she also looks like you two brothers.”

He didn't need Wen Jinzhou to say anything; he just sat there rambling on and on, talking and talking.
