Chen Zhijun paused for a moment and continued, “Zhijun’s wife is gone. Her spirit in heaven must also want someone to take care of her two children. Although it’s a little cruel, it’s something that’s good for everyone.”

Ding Jun recalled that a few days ago, she and Zhijun’s wife were making clothes together. That woman even smiled and said that she would definitely give birth to a fat boy for Chen Zhijun.

However, what Chen Zhiguo said was not without reason. The blame could only be placed on this era. Everyone could only think about survival and food first.

Ding Jun frowned. She only felt a wave of helplessness and sorrow. She did not say anything else and only let out a long sigh.

Chen Zhiguo had just filled the bowls of rice for the children. When they were in the middle of eating, they all realized that Ding Jun was not very happy. Fourth and Fifth Brothers went forward and hugged Ding Jun’s neck. Fourth Brother’s voice was soft. “Mom, give us a hug. We’ll hug you and you won’t be unhappy anymore.”

Fifth brother said, “Mom, who bullied you? Tell us. We’ll go and teach him a lesson.”

The boss was also stunned. “That’s right, Mom. We’re all so fat. No matter how many people there are, we won’t be afraid.”

Sixth Brother stepped forward and pushed the chicken leg he had not finished eating into Ding Jun’s bowl. “Mom, eat the leg.”

Seeing the children trying their best to coax and tease her, Ding Jun felt warm and touched. The corners of her mouth curled up. Ding Jun touched the heads of the children and held them in her arms.

When Chen Zhiguo saw this scene, the corners of his lips also curved. He said, “Okay, quickly let your mom eat.”

The children immediately got up from Ding Jun’s body and hurriedly went to fill her bowl with food and set up the chairs. Ding Jun and Chen Zhiguo looked at each other, and a warm current surged in their hearts.

One afternoon, Ding Jun finished selling the cakes and went to the Chen family’s main residence. Together with Mother Chen, they rushed to make the children’s cotton-padded clothes. A slightly plump woman knocked on the door with a joyful expression. “Aunt Chen, Aunt Chen.”

Ding Jun looked up and saw that the person who came was the village matchmaker. She had come many times in the past few days to visit Chen Zhijun’s wife, but for various reasons, she did not succeed.

When mother Chen saw the matchmaker, she hurriedly called for the person to sit down. “How is it? Whose girl is it today?”

The matchmaker put on her usual fake smile, giving people an extremely warm feeling. It was slightly mysterious and ostentatious. She kept the person in suspense. “The second daughter of the old Wang Family!”

Mother Chen’s smile froze and she hesitated. “Her second daughter? I heard that she was pregnant before she got married?”

As if someone had seen through her lie, the matchmaker’s face became unnatural. She quickly covered it up and said, “Indeed, that girl is honest. She has been cheated by men before, but she is obedient and only have pure intentions.”

Mother Chen narrowed her eyes, and there was a complicated look in her eyes. “What about her child? Has the child been born yet?”

The matchmaker’s eyes rolled and she continued to smile. “No child. The child in her stomach was accidentally miscarried. If she were to marry into your family, you wouldn’t have any burden.”

The matchmaker’s voice changed and she looked at Mother Chen with some probing and hesitation. “It might be because of the miscarriage. That girl’s health isn’t very good. She coughs twice every three days, but it shouldn’t be a problem for her to have a child.”

This matter could not be concealed even if she wanted to. As long as the two families met, the Chen family would be able to see that the girl’s health was not that good. It would be better for her to say this in advance so that she can appear to be a better person.

Mother Chen frowned and immediately sighed. She shook her head at the matchmaker. “No, Zhijun’s wife’s health isn’t good. She fell ill and died. I he remarries, he must marry someone with better health.”

The matchmaker said that her health was not very good, which proved that it was quite bad.

The matchmaker looked a little embarrassed. “Okay, then I’ll help you take a look. I was thinking that the girl was young and obedient. If she can’t cut it, then forget it.”

Mother Chen also put on a fake smile. She found a cake or two that Ding Jun had made and stuffed it into the matchmaker’s hands. “I’ve troubled you.”

After sending the matchmaker off with a smile, Mother Chen walked into the house and looked at Ding Jun with a worried expression. “What should we do? It’s already been a few days, and none of them are suitable.. Zhijun’s life is too tough!”
