My Mute Wife Is Just Too Adorable

Coming soon: I Found My Own Birth Mother

Also known as: What's It Like to Raise Your Ex-Wife Yourself?

Liu Wanying has been feeling troubled lately.

Her daughter is always looking for her mommy, but her heartless ex-wife, who abandoned her wife and child, vanished without a word five years ago. Where is Liu supposed to find her?

After asking a few questions, she discovers, well, the kid doesn't actually want a mom. She wants a little sister.

How is Liu supposed to manage that on her own?

So she placates her by saying she found her in the bushes.

What Liu never expected was that little Liu Xiao would come home from class that very day with a baby she'd found. And the baby looked eerily familiar.

Liu Wanying's mouth twitched as she looked from her daughter, bouncing excitedly and saying she had a little sister now, to the soft, smiling baby in her arms.

"That's not your sister."

"Why not?" Liu Xiao protested. If her mom wouldn't give her one, couldn't she find one herself?

"That's your birth mom."

From little Liu Xiao's point of view:

Little Liu Xiao has a problem lately.

Everyone at kindergarten has a little sister, but she doesn't, so! She decides to ask her mom when her mommy is coming back and tell her to have a baby sister for her.

But Mom says she wasn't born by her mommy. She was found in the bushes, and she won't be getting a sister either.

Liu Xiao doesn't believe her, so she asks her friends at kindergarten. They helpfully explain that one friend's parents found their little sister in a garbage dump, and another friend was found by their parents in a ditch.

So Liu Xiao believes that she was found in the bushes, too.

That makes things easy.

As soon as class is over, Liu Xiao finds a patch of bushes and decides to do something big

Find herself a little sister!

And wouldn't you know it, she's really lucky. She actually finds a baby.

The baby doesn't cry or fuss. Liu Xiao carries her home and tells Mom she's found a little sister.

But Mom takes the baby with an odd look on her face. "Don't call her that."

"She's your birth mom."

Scene break

[Melancholy, frail, hard-done-by younger woman x devoted, gentle, sunshine-like older woman]

Su Tang is mute, having been disabled in a car accident. Compared with her family members, who lost their lives, outsiders consider her disability a stroke of luck.

Su Tang thinks it is the most painful punishment imaginable.

A family that lets their dog roam without a leash moves in next door. Su Tang soon moves to a new home.

On moving day, she meets a very strange woman.

Strange because

She is singing loudly while lying on a chair not far from a trash can.

And she's singing off-key.

Su Tang is an introvert and would normally avoid a scene like this, but she has to pass by her, so she hurries

The woman grabs her hand.

Smiling brightly, she says, "Hey, sis, want to get married? There's a bonus."

Su Tang's eyes widen. Her mind goes blank.

And then they really do get married.

Wen Sheng becomes Su Tang's legal wife, all because of what she said.

Although they have only just met, Wen Sheng seems to know her well in every way.

Su Tang begins to wonder and investigate.

Later, she discovers that not only did they know each other long ago, they had almost become lovers five years earlier.

The story opens with this premise.
