Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chapter 3 - 3 2 Family

?Chapter 3: Chapter 2 Family Chapter 3: Chapter 2 Family Mrs. Wang supported Chen Afu’s right arm, her “son” held her left hand, and her “younger brother” grasped Mrs. Wang’s other hand, as they all walked forward. Chen Afu walked unsteadily, so they moved very slowly, occasionally being overtaken by pedestrians from behind.

Chen Afu noticed that her brother was actually limping, walking with an uneven gait.

Looking at Mrs. Wang’s clothes, she saw they had many patches. Her own clothes had fewer patches, but still several. The two boys’ clothes not only had patches but were also too small, as if they were strapped onto their bodies.

Chen Afu thought to herself that life in this new family would be difficult.

Listening to their conversation, Chen Afu learned that her son was named Chen Dabao and her brother Chen Alu, and they also had a father. They had come to the county town to sell the embroidery made by Mrs. Wang, to get medicine for their father who was suffering from lung disease, and to treat and get medicine for Chen Afu’s dementia. Because a monk had once said that Chen Afu’s dementia could be cured, the family had never given up on treating her, tightening their belts to regularly come to the county town for her medical treatment.

Fragrant smells drifted occasionally from the street vendors, who were cooking and calling out to sell their wares. There were those selling noodles, wontons, steamed buns, and flatbreads…

Especially when passing by a noodle shop, the fragrance was particularly intense. Chen Afu’s stomach growled several times, and she couldn’t help drooling.

Mrs. Wang stopped walking and, seeing the drool at the corner of her daughter’s mouth, said, “Today, after getting medicine for you and your dad, and buying some delicate food for your dad, a pork liver, we’ve almost spent all our money…” She hesitated, then added, “Why don’t we just have a bowl of plain noodles? However, this noodle shop is expensive, they charge ten cents a bowl. There’s a cheaper stall on the edge of the town, where a bowl costs just seven cents.”
