Jiang Xiao's words dealt such a heavy blow to Xu Shu that after Xu Shu came back he kept staring at Mu Jinghua in a trance.

He carefully analyzed what Jiang Xiao had just said and realized two terrifying things—

First, my brother can have children.

Second, the redder the pregnancy mole, the more likely the boy is to have children.

As for what a pregnancy mole is, Xu Shu stared at the spot between Mu Jinghua's eyebrows and reluctantly discovered that sometimes being too smart is not a good thing.

His worldview had been shattered.

Even in the end times when biological modification was very popular, Xu Shu had never heard of anyone wanting to turn a man into someone who could have children...

But despite the shock, life still has to go on. Xu Shu quickly adjusted his mentality, took his bamboo basket and began to prepare things for Mu Jinghua to take to the village chief's house tomorrow.

At this moment, he didn't realize that he was like an old father preparing a school bag for his son, stuffing books, water cups, medicine bottles, medicines, handkerchiefs, candies and snacks all into it.

Originally, he wanted to take the cloth tiger on the bed with him, but Mu Jinghua waved his hand, as if he was reluctant to do so, so he gave up.

He checked them one by one several times but it was not enough. Even though he was not leaving until the day after tomorrow, he still couldn't help but pull Mu Jinghua aside and give him many instructions.

"If Shen grabs your candy after I leave, give it to him and come back to tell me. I'll help you teach him a lesson."

"If you encounter any problems, go find Aunt Shen. She is thoughtful and can take care of you."

"If you have anything else urgent, come find me. Do you remember the way to the tavern? It's okay if you don't remember. Just take the village chief with you and he will know you are going to find me. He knows the way."

Finally, he added softly.

"I'll pick you up when the sun sets."

Mu Jinghua listened to him talking, her nose was sore and her heart was warm. Why did she treat him so well knowing that he was a boy who was sold to a brothel?

If this continues, he will really look forward to it and will be reluctant to let go...

Xu Shu took Mu Jinghua to the village chief's house.

In order to help the boy get familiar with life in the village chief's house as soon as possible, Xu Shu did not interfere too much and spent most of his time sitting and drinking tea with the village chief.

He assigned Mu Jinghua a lot of tasks. In the morning, he asked the child to practice the sign language he learned last night, and in the afternoon, he asked him to copy books and practice calligraphy.

The pens, ink, paper and inkstone were all brought from home. There was no need to borrow from the village chief's house. The children could make whatever they wanted.

Xu Shu looked at Mu Jinghua who was practicing calligraphy carefully, stroke by stroke, his eyes filled with tenderness that he himself was not aware of.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." A shout suddenly came from outside the door. It was Shenzhe, the youngest son of the village chief.

Shen Zhuo is eighteen years old this year, and is the boy Shen that Xu Shu mentioned.

At that time, Xu Shu came to live in the village chief's house and rented Shen Zhuo's room, so the person Xu Shu knew best was actually Shen Zhuo.

Although this kid pretends to be a scholar in front of others, he is actually very lively and chivalrous. After seeing Xu Shu's muscular body, he even called him "Master" and hugged Xu Shu's thigh to ask him to teach him martial arts secrets.

Xu Shu just felt that the child was stupid from reading the storybook.

However, in order to get the point across, Xu Shu still taught Shen Zhuo a set of military boxing very seriously.

Then I got what I wanted and was entangled.

Fortunately, Shen Zhuo is still in school and is not at home most of the time, otherwise Xu Shu would have a headache for a while.

As expected, when Shen saw Xu Shu, his eyes lit up and he shouted, "Master, why are you in my house?"

Then he saw Mu Jinghua sitting next to Xu Shu and was stunned: "Master, is this the mistress you found for me? Isn't she a little too thin..."

"Tell me, tell me," the village chief Shen Guang kicked him speechlessly, "You just want to show off your ability to talk. This is Xu Shu's younger brother, Mu Jinghua."

Aunt Shen also came out and laughed twice: "Brother Mu is two years younger than you, you have to protect your brother."

Shen Zhuo scratched his head embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Brother Mu. This is all my father's fault. He always urged my master to get married, so I misunderstood when I saw you."

"Besides, don't blame me for thinking too much. I have never seen my master look at anyone so gently."

The corner of Xu Shu's mouth twitched. He was obviously being gentle to his brother!

He chuckled twice: "Shenzhe, how's your military boxing going?"

Shen Zhuo immediately straightened his back and ran to the main hall: "Master, wait a minute, I'll show you how to play."

Shen Zhuo changed into some light clothes, and happily ran to Xu Shu to show off his skills, which successfully made Xu Shu look down upon him. He then went up to instruct him on the movements: "Use your legs to exert force, do not twist your waist, and use your fists quickly, like this."

Xu Shu punched Shen Zhuo's ear, making a gust of wind. Shen Zhuo was not frightened at all, but licked his lips excitedly. He imitated Xu Shu and immediately looked at him: "How is it, Master?"

Xu Shu sighed indescribably: "Keep working hard."

He took two steps back to watch Shen's movements, and suddenly found that Mu Jinghua was following him. Mu Jinghua was no longer practicing calligraphy, but was looking at him seriously.

There seemed to be starlight in his eyes, so bright that it made people feel uneasy.

Thinking of his own ruthlessness just now, Xu Shu coughed twice and interrupted Shen Zhuo: "Let's fight next time."

Xu Shu pulled Mu Jinghua over and began to formally introduce Shen Zhuo to him: "This is Shen, two years older than you. He goes to school. If you don't know how to practice calligraphy, you can ask him."

Mu Jinghua smiled shyly at Shen Zhuo and made a gesture taught by Xu Shujiao - "Hello".

Xu Shu was very happy that he could use what he learned right away. He said to Shen Zhuo: "He said hello."

As the son of the village chief, Shen Zhuo has many young men who like him, but his heart is not in it. He only wants to learn martial arts secrets and dominate the world. This is the first time he has spoken to other young men face to face.

He hurriedly imitated the gesture Mu Jinghua made, thinking it was a special way of greeting: "Hello."

Shen Guang on the side was speechless. It was only when Aunt Shen urged them to eat that the awkwardness was broken.

We had hot noodle soup for dinner.

Aunt Shen is very good at making noodles. Although she doesn't have as many tricks as her descendants, the chewy noodles paired with hot bone soup and a sprinkle of chopped green onions and coriander are enough to make Xu Shu praise her endlessly.

The table was also filled with the braised food and dried fish that Xu Shu had brought with him, making it a very rich table.

However, the eldest son of the village chief, Shen Ze, took his wife and younger sister Shen Lin'er to his grandparents' home, and the second son, Shen Huai, was working outside. Only Shen Guang and his wife, the second wife, and Shen Zhuo were left at home.

It seemed like there were quite a lot of people, but Shen Guang and his friends, who had long been accustomed to being with a large family, still found it hard to adapt. So everyone was hoping that Xu Shu could come and have dinner with them.

But hope is hope, and some things cannot be compromised, such as snatching food.

Shen Zhuo was the most active. He quickly sat down next to Xu Shu, happily picked up a piece of dried fish with chopsticks and gave it to Xu Shu. He said, "Master, eat meat", and started to put vegetables into his own bowl.

Xu Shu was already familiar with this routine, and he quickly picked up a piece of food for Mu Jinghua with his chopsticks.

Although the two main forces fighting for food are not here now, the little guy Mu Jinghua will definitely suffer without his help.

Aunt Shen was watching with great joy and also picked up a piece of food for Mu Jinghua: "Mu brother, you have to eat more. Look how thin you have become."

Mu Jinghua nodded embarrassedly and smiled gently at Aunt Shen. His shy and cute look made the second daughter-in-law of the village chief couldn't help but want to pick up some food for him.

"Brother Mu, try this. This is our homemade pickled vegetable. It tastes great when eaten with noodles."

"Brother Mu, try this braised egg. It tastes delicious."

"Mu Ge'er, eat more meat. It's all brought by your big brother Xu. Don't feel bad about it."

"Yes, yes," Shen Zhuo interrupted, "Master is rich."

Xu Shu wordlessly tapped him with chopsticks, then added a boiled egg to Mu Jinghua's plate: "Ignore him and eat."

Mu Jinghua looked down at his bowl which was already overflowing with food, and felt his heart was full.
