The weather was turning cold, and Gu Zi felt it was time to prepare for the winter necessities at home. She walked over and squatted down to make her selection.

The stall owner, who had been waiting for a customer, spoke enthusiastically to Gu Zi. She said that all the items were hand-made by her and her mother, comfortable and durable, and could be tried on the spot.

Gu Zi declined the offer to try them on, expressing her faith in the stall owner’s craftsmanship.

The stall owner was delighted by her words and immediately offered a discount, “Young lady, I’ve never seen such a beautiful and kind-hearted person like you. Since you’re trusting me like this, I’ll give you a discount. The pair that costs four will be sold to you for three and eight.”

Gu Zi agreed, stating her shoe size and the sizes for the children. She ended up buying a pair of bear-headed cotton shoes for herself, dog-headed ones for the two boys, and rabbit-headed ones for little Lele.

Since they didn’t have Su Shen’s size, he didn’t get a pair.

Gu Zi reassured him, “Don’t be upset, I’ll make it up to you next time.”

She planned to go to the city to buy them, confident that she would find his size there.

Su Shen paid for the shoes, his movements swift and efficient. He responded with a low “Hmm.”

He thought it was no wonder the three children were so attached to Gu Zi. She took such good care of them that even he couldn’t remember the children’s shoe sizes, yet this young woman did.

The stall owner watched the harmonious pair walk away, feeling particularly content. Just then, someone stood in front of her, blocking her view.

She was about to complain when she recognized the person and smiled, “Mrs. Zhou, why are you out and about today?”

Mrs. Zhou smiled and asked what she had been looking at so intently. The stall owner pointed to the departing pair and said, “Over there.”

Following the stall owner’s gaze, Mrs. Zhou saw a familiar figure. If she wasn’t mistaken, that was Little Su, wasn’t it?

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the stall owner, Mrs. Zhou quickly walked in the direction Su Shen and Gu Zi had gone. She wasn’t entirely sure it was Little Su, but the figure looked very similar.

“Are you Little Su?” Su Shen and Gu Zi turned around at the sound of the inquiry, seeing a well-preserved middle-aged woman.

Gu Zi estimated that the woman wasn’t very old, probably in her early forties.

Upon seeing them turn around, Mrs. Zhou confirmed that it was indeed Little Su, Su Shen!

She quickly said, “Little Su, I’m your Sister Zhou, don’t you remember? I didn’t expect to run into you here!”

Su Shen was silent for a moment before he remembered. This was the wife of a comrade from his time in the army. He said, “Sister Zhou, I remember.”

Mrs. Zhou watched him, her gaze shifting to his side. She was uncertain about the relationship between him and the woman beside him. However, she remembered that Su Shen was not one to be interested in women. Hence, seeing a woman by his side had made her unsure if it was indeed Su Shen.

The young girl beside him was strikingly youthful, leading Mrs. Zhou to boldly guess, “Is this your sister? Your family has excellent genes. The men are handsome, and the women are beautiful. Has she been promised to anyone yet? Little Su, you should get married too. I must tell you, Hu Jie is still unmarried. Why don’t you two give it another try?”

Gu Zi was slightly put off by Mrs. Zhou. Who asks such questions upon first meeting? She felt that this woman lacked a sense of personal boundaries.

However, who was this Hu Jie? From Mrs. Zhou’s words, could Hu Jie be a woman from Su Shen’s past? Surely not his first love!

Gu Zi shot a sharp glance at Su Shen, but he seemed oblivious to her gaze, which only deepened her suspicions.

She had just been considering herself lucky to have met an ideal man in a book. But it seemed she didn’t know enough about older men. He had another woman named Hu Jie, huh!

After a moment of silence, Su Shen said, “I am already married. This is…”

Before Su Shen could finish his sentence, Gu Zi leaned affectionately into his arms, her voice sultry as she interjected, “Yes, my brother-in-law has already married my sister. Mrs. Zhou, the woman you mentioned is no longer an option. He belongs to my sister and me now.”

Su Shen felt dizzy. What was this young woman babbling about?

Mrs. Zhou looked surprised. Su Shen was married? And this girl was not his sister but his sister-in-law?

Oh dear, this was highly improper. How could a brother-in-law and sister-in-law be so touchy-feely in public!

Mrs. Zhou closed her eyes and shook her head, addressing Su Shen, “Su Shen, you are married, and that’s fine. But you should be mindful of your actions. Where is your wife? It’s not appropriate for you to be alone with your sister-in-law on the streets.”

Mrs. Zhou felt it was extremely rude. She could hardly bring herself to utter the words ‘hugging and holding..’ She had never imagined Su Shen to be this kind of man, being involved with his sister-in-law even after marriage!
