Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Looking at the wood stacked up under the eaves, Xu Wenyan felt satisfied.

It’s not a lot, but it’s not a few either. As long as the person is obedient, Xu Wenyan will have a good impression of him.

"Brother Xu, you're back." The four children were sitting on small stools in the main hall. When they saw Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin coming back, they all stood up. Rong Xiaoliu even stepped forward to take the things in Xu Wenyan's hand.

In fact, it feels good to have someone waiting for you to go home.

It seems like there is a reason to go home.

Chen Sanlin looked at Xu Wenyan being surrounded by that child and felt a little unhappy. As soon as he came back, Xu Wenyan's heart was no longer with him.

He didn't know why, but he got angrier the more he thought about it. But he didn't want to say it out loud so he could only go and chop wood.

He gave one of the captured rabbits to Little Tiger and kept the rest.

Xu Wenyan picked up a rabbit. Seeing this, Chen Sanlin was delighted, thinking that he would definitely come to him for help to skin it. But when he saw Xu Wenyan peeling the rabbit efficiently while humming a little tune, Chen Sanlin just felt aggrieved.

It seems that his wife doesn't need him anymore. Will he be disliked?

"Xu Wenyan, I have chopped the firewood."

Xu Wenyan was dealing with the rabbit in his hand and said a few perfunctorily.

"Xu Wenyan, I've boiled some water."

Xu Wenyan, who was removing the fishy smell from rabbit meat, said a few perfunctorily.

......

It was not until Xu Wenyan was concentrating on making the meal that she realized Chen Sanlin had been staring at her from behind: "What's wrong? Brother Chen?"

Chen Sanlin turned his head and walked towards the yard: "Nothing."

Looking at Chen Sanlin's departing back, Xu Wenyan felt confused.

There was no need to specially call the children to eat. Rong Xiaoliu was always watching the stove. After Xu Wenyan came out, he went in to get the dishes and chopsticks. He was very diligent.

The rabbit meat was served from the pot. The spicy aroma lingered in the main hall, stimulating everyone's tongue. Xu Wenyan swallowed his saliva and picked up a piece of rabbit meat to taste.

As soon as the tip of his tongue touched the spicy taste, he began to drool, followed by the numbness brought by the peppercorns. Xu Wenyan felt refreshed after this meal.

As a person from Sichuan and Chongqing, it is impossible for me to live without chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns and rabbit heads!

"Brother Xu, what you cooked is so delicious. Although it's a little spicy, I still can't help but want to eat it!" Rong Xiaoliu started his flattery moment again.

"Great, great. My little uncle is the best!" Chen Dong, Xu Wenyan's second-in-command for flattering, was not willing to be left behind.

As if Xu Wenyan was used to the praise from his family, he just accepted it with a smile.

After the meal, Xu Wenyan naturally didn't need to clean up the dishes. It was cold today, so Xu Wenyan lit the fireplace and prepared to go to bed early. However, Chen Sanlin was late in coming into the house, and there was no thick quilt to cover himself with, so Chen Sanlin couldn't get warm in bed without the quilt.

There was no choice but to get up from the bed with difficulty and go find Chen Sanlin.

“Bang, bang!”

The sound of chopping wood came from the yard. With the help of the moonlight and the reflection of the snow, it was still bright at night.

"Brother Chen, why are you still chopping wood?" Xu Wenyan wrapped his cotton coat around himself and walked over.

When Chen Sanlin saw Xu Wenyan coming to find him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and then he calmed down.

Seeing that Chen Sanlin ignored him, Xu Wenyan had to poke him carefully: "Brother Chen? Brother Chen? You're ignoring me?"

Xu Wenyan looked left and right and poked Chen Sanlin but he didn't say anything: "Okay, I wanted to reward you because you were so awesome today, but forget it if you ignore me."

After saying that, Xu Wenyan pretended to walk into the inner room. Chen Sanlin suddenly turned around, threw away the axe, and grabbed Xu Wenyan's wrist: "What reward?"

"Alas, some people ignore me. It's gone." Xu Wenyan said with regret.

Chen Sanlin frowned: "I don't have it."

Looking at his aggrieved expression, Xu Wenyan smiled: "Haha, I won't tease you anymore. Just tell me what you want, and I'll promise you if I can do it." The reason why Xu Wenyan said this was because he was just lying to Chen Sanlin, just to coax him back to warm the bed.

"Really?" Chen Sanlin tightened his grip on Xu Wenyan's wrist.

"Oh, go in first. It's so cold." Without caring what Chen Sanlin said, Xu Wenyan dragged him back to the house.

After getting on the bed, Chen Sanlin hugged Xu Wenyan, his head full of rewards. Xu Wenyan was used to being hugged by Chen Sanlin, so he didn't think it was a big deal and just squeezed in to keep warm.

a long time.

Just when Xu Wenyan was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a few words in his ears: "I've made up my mind."

Xu Wenyan looked at Chen Sanlin with a puzzled look: "What?"

"I've thought about what reward I want." Chen Sanlin looked excited and looked at Xu Wenyan with a silly grin on his face.

Xu Wenyan just nodded: "Okay, okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Seeing that the person in his arms looked very sleepy, Chen Sanlin still agreed to Xu Wenyan.

The next morning, the two went up the mountain to check the trap they had set yesterday.

......

Xujia Village.

Xu Fujia.

Because Xu Fu had just been released from prison, the wounds on his body had become inflamed and there was no time to treat them.

Xu Dashan was kneeling beside the bed sobbing. Xu Fu had a high fever and looked very bad.

"Dad, hold on. I'll go to the village chief's house and beg him." Xu Dashan was crying breathlessly on the ground. His mother Zhang stared at the father and son fiercely and rolled her eyes from time to time.

Although she didn't feel sad, she still didn't want Xu Fu to die like this. Once he died, she would become a widow and her family would become a disadvantaged family in the village.

When Xu Fu was brought back a few days ago, he had often asked relatives for money to pay off his debts. Now that he needed medical treatment, he had exhausted all his connections. Xu Dashan asked all the aunts and uncles in the family for help, but none of them were willing to lend him money.

There was really no other way, so he shamelessly knelt at the home of the village chief of Xujia Village for a whole night and finally borrowed another two hundred coins. However, these two hundred coins were far from enough to treat the fever, heat and infection.

At this point, the Xu family owed the village chief a full one tael and two hundred coins.

Zhang was also worried, but there was not a tear in her eyes. Instead, her brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly. She hated it.

He hated this family for taking away his wealth and glory, hated Xu Fu for being incompetent, hated his eldest son for being a coward, and even more hated that girl who paid the money for daring to run away from the marriage!

This made her determined to break this dead girl's legs if she caught Xu Jinhua again.

Zhang was so angry just thinking about it.

No, she couldn't let Xu Fu die like this. It didn't matter if he was paralyzed, he couldn't die.

Thinking of this, a suitable person to borrow money from suddenly popped up in her mind!

"Xu Wenyan, and my Yan'er. Last time, Dashan was able to borrow back four taels. As his mother, I can at least borrow eight taels. Yes! Yes! Go find Yan'er." Zhang was delighted and immediately put on her cotton coat and rushed to Jixiang Village.

Because of the snowy weather, it was already afternoon when Zhang arrived at Chen's house. Although her face and hands were frozen red, she was excited at the thought that she would get eight taels of silver soon, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

Zhang found the gray and white courtyard according to the address. She began to dislike it before she even entered, but then she thought that it would be okay for the two of them to live in such a big house.

As soon as I stepped into the yard, I saw an older child chopping wood, and three younger ones were carefully stacking the chopped wood on the side.
