I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

People who were eating hurriedly raised their heads from their bowls and stood up.

The incident in the Strait has left everyone with lingering fears.

Ji Xiaobei stuffed the fruit into Xiaoju's hand and was about to leave when Ji's second wife stopped him: "Xiaobei, the men from our village are here. Let them go and take a look first. You wait at home."

Shugen and Song Laohei had experience fighting bandits, so they quickly picked up the shovels and sticks from the corner.

Ji Niwa and Ji Ninkeng quickly ran to close the door.

Wang Pozi, the mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law tried their best to reduce their presence.

There were three stoves and three people sitting in front of them, making fire in silence.

Ji Xiaobei’s food is really good. This is the kind of food that people in the palace eat.

They secretly rejoiced in their hearts that they had come to the right place!

It was not until the three of them heard that refugees were coming that they were so scared that they threw away their fire sticks and ran back into the house.

Ji Xiaobei: "Don't worry, I'll go take a look!"

The refugees she saw in East City that time were so ferocious, she didn’t want anyone to get hurt.

This time it shouldn't be refugees coming. The workshop is so hidden, it's impossible for the refugees to come straight here. Could it be that they came here because of the smell?

Ji Xiaobei smiled nonchalantly and said, "Uncle Shugen, put the shovel back. We won't be using it."

"Ah... why? The last time we fought the bandits, we used shovels and hoes."

"They shouldn't be refugees. It's impossible for them to come and rob only our family!" Xiaobei said.

Aunt Song responded: "Yes, why didn't people on the street react?"

After hearing what they said, Shugen and Song Laohei silently put down their weapons.

Ji Niwa and Ji Nikang had already propped up the door with wood, and they looked cautious, not knowing whether they should remove the wood.

When they ran to the door of the house, the mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law were stopped by Mrs. Lin. They stuck out their tongues and went back to make a fire.

Mrs. Lin almost rolled her eyes to the sky.

The sound of horse hooves at the door stopped abruptly, followed by footsteps and then knocks on the door.

Everyone looked at Ji Xiaobei.

She walked over quickly, looked out through the crack in the door, and saw a dark eye.

Ji Xiaobei: Who is it? I’m so scared!

She gently removed the wood behind the door and opened it with a crash. The person who was leaning against the door and looking inside almost fell down. Fortunately, he had good strength and managed to steady himself.

"what are you doing?"

"what are you doing?"

The two people asked in unison.

"You come to my shop and ask me?" Ji Xiaobei said angrily.

"Does everyone who comes to your shop get turned away?" Fu Jichang said with a cold face. He was in a good mood, but when she dodged him for a moment, he suddenly felt unhappy.

"I'm here to see the folks in Jijiawan!" Fu Jichang strode in.

"How did you know they were coming?"

"I will naturally know what I want to know..." Fu Jichang said and went inside.

Ji Ernai slapped her thigh and yelled, "Oh my dear, isn't Xiaoyao here?"

The tense faces of the people in the yard relaxed.

Mrs. Wang took a closer look. Was this the ragged man who lived in Jijia Bay?

How could he be so elegant and dignified? At first, Mrs. Wang wanted to marry her daughter to him, but when she thought of a foreigner, she gave up the idea.

Her heart ached with regret.

"Uncle Niwa, Uncle Nikeng, Uncle Shugen, Uncle Laohei..." Fu Jichang greeted them one by one.

When the men saw Fu Jichang, who was wearing a brocade robe and had a sword at his waist, and had a strong aura, they felt a little scared, but they still forced a smile and greeted him.

When we were in Jijiawan, Xiaoyao was a stranger who came to our village. We were the host and Xiaoyao was the guest.

Xiaoyao wore tattered clothes and rented a house, but no one felt that he was any different from the other villagers.

But this time, when they saw him again in Anzhou Prefecture, they felt that they and Xiaoyao were not the same kind of people.

He is very imposing and has a heroic look between his brows.

It was something that those country people had never seen before.

The women in Jijiawan don't think so. Although Xiaoyao is a child from a wealthy family, he is not arrogant, knows the rules, and is a gentle person. There is nothing to be afraid of.

Moreover, in front of Ji Xiaobei, he lowered his head, looked submissive, and was very gentle and polite.

So women don't feel any distance from him.

Ji Ernai said, "My son, you must be hungry. Come and sit down. I'll serve you some rice. Today's dish is cooked by you. Try it. It's delicious. I'll give you more meat..."

Fu Jichang took off his sword, threw it to the black tower behind him, and sat down.

The men finally let go of their worries.

The men chatted for a while, and then the mistress's food was served.

Fu Jichang looked around at the tables and wondered what kind of dishes were these.

All kinds of meat, pig intestines, pig stomachs, pig heads and faces, pig lungs...it was like a meeting of pigs.

Look at the golden color over there. Do you need to fry so many plates of scrambled eggs?

He lowered his head to look at the dish that Ji Ernai served him. It was not a dish at all, it was clearly a big bowl of meat!

Everyone invited Fu Jichang to eat, but his eyes were looking elsewhere.

After looking around, I didn't see Ji Xiaobei and the two children.

"Uncle Niwa, I ate some when I came here. I'll have a drink with you!" Fu Jichang raised his glass and drank.

All the men followed.

"I'm going to talk to Xiaobei about something. You guys eat first!" Fu Jichang stood up and said.

"Go quickly, my youngest son has important things to do!" Aunt Song hurried over and stopped the man who was trying to persuade Fu Jichang to eat more.

"Xiaobei is coaxing the kids to sleep in the house. There are a lot of people here today, and the kids are excited and tired from playing! They are in the west room of the main house, so go quickly!"

Aunt Song said with a smile.

Fu Jichang touched his nose and blushed slightly. It seemed that Aunt Song's words had a hidden meaning.

Mrs. Huang was boiling water in the house. When she saw Fu Jichang coming in, she said, "My little one, Guoguo and Zhengzheng want to drink milk. The water is ready. You've come just in time. Hurry and bring it to Xiaobei."

Fu Jichang: If I don’t come in, the child won’t be able to drink milk, right?

Mrs. Huang: Of course, luckily you came!

Mrs. Huang closed the door and walked out.

Fu Jichang: ...

He walked a few steps with a bowl of water, stood at the door of the inner room, and asked softly: "Xiaobei, are you asleep?"

Ji Xiaobei: Huh… Huh…

Guo Guo Zheng Zheng: Hum...ah...oh...

The noises in the room were somewhat complicated, but no one heard Ji Xiaobei's response.

Fu Jichang: What's going on? Should I go in or not?
