126: Chapter 126 [Bonus Chapter] Uncle Chu, your ex-wife has come back to life, aren't you happy?
Just then, Chu Lingyin came rushing out of the house on her little toy car, with the little chubby boy, Chu Jie, sitting on the hood, giggling happily.
Tang Caier was wearing a camisole, holding an old-fashioned popsicle in her left hand and a cattail leaf fan in her right.
The several of them looked at each other.
Chu Lingyin shouted happily, "Daddy!"
Chu Nantian's face darkened, and he immediately scolded her, "What are you doing? How can you put your brother on the roof of the car! What if he falls off!"
Chu Lingyin said nonchalantly, "It's fine, I'm holding onto him. Isn't he having a lot of fun!"
The little chubby boy, Chu Jie, nodded repeatedly and said with a grin, "It's fun, it's fun! Big sister, let's do it again."
Aunt Jiang Yulan looked at Tang Caier with a smile and nodded in satisfaction. "You must be the new nanny Chu Xiao found. You look quite pretty~~"
Tang Caier's face turned red, and she scratched her head awkwardly, saying, "Um, Big Sister, I..."
She didn't finish her sentence.
Chu Nantian had already stepped forward, picked Chu Jie up from the hood, and then pinched Chu Lingyin's ear, saying angrily, "I know you don't like your brother, but you can't do this. How old is he? If he falls and gets hurt, how will you explain it to your mother!"
Chu Lingyin's eyes instantly turned red, and she cried out with tears streaming down her face, "She's not my mother! My mother..."
"Shut up! You're becoming more and more undisciplined!" Chu Nantian shouted.
"What are you doing? It's normal for kids to play around, and nothing happened! Let go!" Aunt Jiang Yulan rushed over, pulled Chu Lingyin into her arms, slapped Chu Nantian's hand away, and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. Don't be angry with your father. That's just his temper..."
Chu Lingyin wiped the tears from her face, pushed her away without any gratitude, and shouted, "You're not my mother! I have a mother... Mommy, come quickly!"
She cried out loudly.
"You child, you're getting harder and harder to control. I must teach you a good lesson today!"
Seeing her acting so unreasonably, Chu Nantian's expression grew even gloomier. Just as he was about to lose his temper...
From the kitchen, there was suddenly a loud clanging sound of a metal spatula.
The sound was very loud.
The father, Chu Nantian, thought it was his son, Chu Xiao, messing around in the kitchen and making such a noise on purpose.
He turned around and walked quickly toward the kitchen, wanting to vent his anger on his son.
He felt that Chu Xiao was being too irresponsible as an older brother, intentionally letting Chu Lingyin bully their younger brother. This was clearly asking for trouble.
But just as he reached the kitchen door...
He froze in his tracks, his eyes filled with shock, wild joy, and confusion. He stood there like a statue.
Fearing he would scold Chu Xiao, Aunt Jiang Yulan also rushed over.
When she saw clearly who was in the kitchen...
She was also stunned!
At that moment.
In the kitchen, the mother, Jiang Yuying, had no smile on her face. While tossing the wok, she served the freshly cooked Sautéed Shredded Pork in Sweet Bean Sauce onto a plate, then used a tissue to wipe away the sauce that had dripped onto the edge.
"Sis... Sister..."
Aunt Jiang Yulan's eyes were red and brimming with tears. She stumbled forward a few steps to her sister, her hand trembling as she touched her sister's cheek, and cried out in disbelief, "Sister, is it really you?"
Jiang Yuying's eyes were also full of tears as she nodded slowly. "Xiao Lan, I'm back."
That one sentence, "Xiao Lan, I'm back"...
Instantly pierced through Jiang Yulan's heart. Like a little girl who had done something wrong, she turned her head away in guilt, then ran out of the kitchen without looking back, picked up Chu Jie from the courtyard, and left.
She missed her sister and wanted her to come back.
But as the younger sister, she didn't have the face to stay in this house, let alone face her sister, Jiang Yuying.
Jiang Yulan moved very quickly and disappeared in a few steps.
"What are you standing there for? Go after her!"
The mother, Jiang Yuying, shouted anxiously. She dropped the spatula and chased out of the kitchen, fearing her sister might do something foolish.
Chu Nantian, standing at the door, didn't move an inch. His mind was a complete blank. He then grabbed Jiang Yuying and asked with red eyes, "Who are you? Who on earth are you!"
Jiang Yuying looked at him and said, "Who else could I be? Who do you think I should be?"
"You can't be her. She's dead," Chu Nantian murmured. He couldn't believe his deceased wife had actually returned.
And she had even cooked such a table of delicious food!
Jiang Yuying didn't have time to waste words with him. She shook off his hand and chased out the front gate.
In the courtyard, only Chu Nantian remained, dazed as if in a dream, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
Tang Caier stepped forward and said with a smile, "Uncle Chu, that really was Auntie Jiang just now. Oh, by the way, don't I look familiar to you?"
"You...?" Chu Nantian finally began to look closely at the young girl before him. He thought for a moment, and suddenly his pupils constricted as he said in shock, "You... you're Chu Xiao's classmate! Caier???"
Tang Caier nodded with a smile. "Mm! Before I died, I used to come over to play with Xiao Xiao every Sunday. You even bought me clothes and shoes!"
Chu Nantian's mouth hung open. He felt like his brain couldn't keep up. He stammered, "But, I remember you died! Chu Xiao cried for days because of you!"
"Huh? He actually cried for me? Haha~~" Tang Caier looked delighted, then nodded as if it were only natural. "Well, I'm so pretty, he must have liked me back then! Hehe~~"
Chu Nantian swallowed and followed up, "Then what... what's the situation now? Are you a person or a ghost?"
Tang Caier said with a smile, "A person, of course! Auntie Jiang and I were both... uh, resurrected by an Immortal. It's been on the TV news. Didn't you watch the news today?"
Watch the news?
Chu Nantian had been busy to death lately and had no time to watch the news at all. He immediately took out his phone and began checking. Sure enough, he found a news report about the dead being resurrected by an Immortal at Babao Mountain.
Moreover, many people had posted videos confirming that the news was true!
"So, it's all true? My wife has been resurrected! Hahaha!!"
Chu Nantian laughed heartily with joy.
Tang Caier immediately took a lick of her popsicle and poured cold water on him. "It's your ex-wife..."
That one sentence...
Instantly shattered Chu Nantian's composure and silenced him.
His wife died, he married her sister, and then his wife was resurrected!
This situation was as awkward as it could possibly be.
Recalling the various promises he and Jiang Yuying had made in their youth, he felt ashamed and humiliated, with nowhere to hide.
"Uncle Chu, actually you don't need to worry too much. Auntie Jiang already knows, and she's very open-minded about it."
Tang Caier comforted him with a smile.
Chu Nantian raised his head excitedly. "Really? What does she think?"
Tang Caier nodded. "Auntie Jiang told me. From now on, she'll live on her own, and you and Auntie continue being a couple."
Chu Nantian: "...!"
A hint of disappointment appeared on the middle-aged man's face.
Tang Caier tilted her head curiously and asked, "Uncle Chu, your ex-wife has been resurrected. Aren't you happy?"
Chu Nantian: "I'm happy... I'm dying of happiness..."
