Chapter 83 - 83 I Understand

83 I Understand

Eldest Sister-in-law Shen had been infertile for many years. In the end, she died of depression before she was 30 years old.

As for Feng Chunyan, her life was also very miserable. She was ruined by a profligate son in the county. Later on, her revenge failed and she went completely crazy.

Ji Zhao expressed her deep sympathy for the two sisters.

“Sister Chunyan, you’re too good-looking. You always show your face like this. I’m worried that it will attract some good-for-nothings…”

In the spirit of humanitarianism, Ji Zhao decided to give a pointer or two.

As for whether Feng Chunyan wanted to hear her advice or not, Ji Zhao did not know.

About 15 minutes later.

Feng Chunyan walked over to Ji Zhao with heavy steps and said awkwardly, “Sister Ah Tao, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have spoken to you in that tone just now.”

“It’s fine.” Ji Zhao waved her hand magnanimously.

“But can you answer me one question?” Feng Chunyan stared at her face, afraid that she would miss the change in her expression.

Ji Zhao nodded slightly, her eyes filled with curiosity.

“You’re impressive. It only took you two months to change the Shen family’s opinion of you,” Feng Chunyan said slowly. “Then will you come and snatch this pastry shop?”

“No.” Ji Zhao shook her head resolutely. “Sister Chunyan, your worries are completely groundless. The Shen Ji Pastry Shop is Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law’s private property. I already know this.”

“That’s good!” Feng Chunyan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing her promise.

“Ah Tao, Chunyan is just a little straightforward. She doesn’t have any bad intentions,” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen quickly explained.

“Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I understand,” Ji Zhao said softly with a smile.

“Sister Ah Tao, I might as well tell you the truth. My sister has been married to Brother-in-law for so many years, but she hasn’t given birth to a child yet. Therefore, the two of us have already discussed it. When I give birth to a son in the future, my sister will adopt him and raise him under her care,” Feng Chunyan said frankly. “Other than Brother-in-law being very diligent, there’s another more important reason why Sister and Brother-in-law can build this pastry shop. That is, the two of us have placed the Feng family’s heirloom into the pastry shop.”

“Family heirloom? What do you mean?” Ji Zhao’s curiosity was instantly piqued, and she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

“The Feng family had an ancestor who was very impressive. He even worked in the palace! That ancestor was an imperial chef and was best at making all kinds of snacks. Therefore, the Feng family had a pastry secret recipe that had been passed down for a hundred years.” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen smiled and explained, “Back then, your brother wanted to do business, so I took this recipe out…”

Compared to other pastry shops in the county city, the pastries in Shen Ji were delicious and affordable.

Therefore, in less than a year, the Shen Ji Pastry Shop was completely established in the county.

“Not only that!” Feng Chunyan hurriedly added, “In order to help brother-in-law set up this pastry shop, my sister even sold two dowries!”

“It’s all in the past. Why are you still talking about it?” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen quickly waved her hand. “Ah Tao, I don’t mean anything else by telling you this. Don’t misunderstand. Chunyan really doesn’t have any ill intentions…”

“Eldest Sister-in-law, I understand.” Ji Zhao nodded obediently.

“As for bringing Chunyan’s child under my care, can you not tell Mother first?” Eldest Sister Shen gently tugged at her sleeve, her moist eyes filled with pleading.
