Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"Hehe, if he wants to be my brother-in-law, he needs to show his sincerity."

Lu Fanghai was laughing to himself. A Luo and Du Wenxiu looked at each other and pulled Du Wenchan to the side room.

"Chan'er, why don't you tell me what you think?" Du Wenxiu asked Du Wenchan directly.

"Although marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers, your parents are both dead now, and I am not presentable..."

A'luo also joined in, but Du Wenchan was displeased to hear her say that. She was about to say something but was stopped by A'luo.

"Listen to me. Now your sister and brother-in-law will make the decision for you, but you also have to be aware that this life is yours after all."

Du Wenxiu kept nodding, saying that what A Luo said was absolutely right.

"Now there is Young Master Zhu's family asking for marriage, and there is Lu Dawei who keeps harassing us. Neither of them looks good, but they also have their merits. Fortunately, there are still nearly three years left in this teaching period, so we can take our time to choose."

Du Wenxiu said earnestly, "But if you have any other concerns in your mind, you must make them clear. For example, Master Zhu's concubine Liu, Lu Dawei's behavior sometimes offends you."

"If you are interested in someone, let's put everything on the table. If he is interested, he will change his mind."

Du Wenchan lowered her head and thought for a while, and her neck gradually turned pink. The two men did not rush her, but waited for her to make her own decision.

Du Wenchan is no longer a child after all, and she has also suffered a lot. In life, she must make her own choices to have a purpose and live comfortably.

"I heard that Madam Liu is Young Master Zhu's cousin. They are all relatives. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. I'm afraid that if she is sent back for the time being, she will be brought back someday."

Du Wenchan spoke softly and slowly, and Du Wenxiu was naturally happy in her heart, and she always had to think about herself.

"So what you mean is that Lu Dawei can still be considered?" A Luo asked.

Du Wenchan shook her head and pursed her lips: "Lu Dawei...he is too reckless."

Du Wenxiu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Since my sister doesn't like them, we can just look for them slowly. It's not like all the men in the world are dead, with only these two left."

A Luo also laughed. Du Wenchan turned around, took out a cloth bag from the pillow and opened it. Inside was a jade bracelet and a jade Buddha, which she handed to Du Wenxiu.

"Please ask my brother-in-law to help pass these items to Lu... Lu Dawei. It is not good to give or take them privately."

Du Wenxiu nodded with a smile.

She actually had a pretty good impression of Lu Dawei. He was bold in love and hate, and if he weren't for his identity as a bandit, he would have been a good candidate for a son-in-law.

Unfortunately, in this age of strict separation between men and women, his straightforward behavior would bring disaster to Du Wenchan's reputation.

If Du Wenchan was greedy for these little things, even if she married someone in the future, if she met someone who was petty and calculative, she might be inferior to him when the couple quarreled.

Regardless of whether the deal with Lu Dawei is successful or not, the things must be returned first.

He was still wondering how to bring it up, but unexpectedly the girl took it out and wanted to return it to him first. Du Wenxiu was quite pleased and felt relieved.

Du Wenxiu handed the cloth bag to Lu Fanghai and relayed Du Wenchan's words.

Lu Fanghai stared blankly for a long time holding the cloth bag, then sighed and said:

"That boy deserves to be beaten. He looked down on my sister. When I see him, I will teach him a lesson."

Du Wenxiu smiled and said, "It's not that serious. But gossip can make a person feel guilty. We should pay more attention to some things."

Lu Fanghai nodded in agreement.

He also talked about the alley with two paulownia trees where Qin Dingxiang lived. He had gone to see it when he was patrolling around the city during the turmoil, but there was no single woman living in any of the houses there.

Du Wenxiu was surprised and asked, "That's not right. I clearly saw her walk into the alley. Could it be that the other end leads to somewhere else?"

Lu Fanghai shook his head and said, "I went in and saw that it was a dead end with two or three families living there. One of them was the family of Yu Sanzheng, the foreman of the station. This shouldn't happen..."

Seeing Lu Fanghai frowning and worried, Du Wenxiu smiled and said, "There's no rush anyway. Why don't you take a good rest first and check it out tomorrow."

As he said this, he went to make the bed.

Lu Fanghai still frowned, and said as he undressed:

"Well, anyway, you have to find this person before you leave. Otherwise, you are in the food business again. If she does something bad, it will be terrible."

When he said this, Du Wenxiu couldn't help but become nervous.

I originally thought that if I really couldn't find it, I might as well put it aside first, hoping I'd see her again when I go out someday. But I didn't expect that if she took the initiative to do something bad, how could I prevent her? I felt that Lu Fanghai was right.

Since he had agreed to join the army, Lu Fanghai put aside his duties in the government office. He went to hang out in Paulownia Tree Alley early the next morning, but found nothing.

When she came back and told Du Wenxiu about it, she also began to doubt whether she had seen it wrong that day...

How could I be wrong? I have followed her for so long.

"Which house in the alley does your squad leader Yu live in?" Du Wenxiu asked.

Lu Fanghai thought for a moment and said, "When I ran into him that day, he pointed to the house at the end of the alley. Yu Bantou was married before, but because he was not serious about his job, his wife ran away with someone else. He has been living alone ever since."

"But I did mention Qin Dingxiang to him that day and asked him if he had seen any strange women in the past few days. He was a little vague and said he had something to do and went back in a hurry."

The two looked at each other and had some guesses at the same time.

"No way?" Lu Fanghai was frightened by his own thoughts. "Yu Bantou knows what she did..."

Du Wenxiu burst out laughing: "What are you imagining? I didn't say that."

"But..." Lu Fanghai hesitated and said, "The other two families also had few people. I found excuses to go in and see, and Qin Dingxiang was not there."

"Did you go in and take a look?" Du Wenxiu asked.

Lu Fanghai nodded and said, "There was turmoil in the city those days. I only needed to find an excuse and everyone would be eager for me to go in and check it out."

"The only place I haven't been to is the home of squad leader Yu." Lu Fanghai said seriously with a sharp gaze.

If this Yu Bantou hid Qin Dingxiang, that would be big news.

Du Wenxiu looked at Lu Fanghai and continued, "No, I'll find an excuse to go find Yu Bantou tomorrow, tsk..."

"Don't worry. If he is really at Yu Bantou's house, then you might as well go over there and alert him. It would be better to call Yu Bantou out first, then knock on the door and ask."

"Yes, Xiuniang is right. I will call Fan Chengyi and Wu Xiaoliu tomorrow and ask Fan Chengyi to ask Yu Bantou to go out. Wu Xiaoliu and I will go and take a look."

Du Wenxiu reminded him again: "When the time comes, ask Wu Xiaoliu to knock on the door and hide away. Qin Dingxiang will recognize you."

Lu Fanghai nodded repeatedly in response.

The matter was settled, and Du Wenxiu and his wife finally felt relieved. They fell asleep and did not sleep until dawn.
