Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"Oh, don't do this." A Luo said anxiously.

"I just don't want to think about the past, so how can I blame you for what you said? If you do this, I will feel uncomfortable."

Du Wenxiu smiled and said, "No one of us will talk about the past. The hard times are over, and the days ahead will be sweet."

A Luo nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face.

After dinner, Du Wenchan had nothing to do, so she took her tools and went to clean the new yard.

"Sister Yue Niang will have to stay when she comes. Moving things back and forth will be tiring enough. It's better to clean up the house now while we have nothing to do so that she can stay when she comes."

Du Wenxiu would certainly have no objection, and several people went over there happily.

The owner of the newly rented house has cleaned it very well, but since no one has lived there for a long time, the corners and edges still need to be cleaned up.

They didn't let Du Wenxiu do anything either. She just went there alone, but after standing for a while she couldn't stand it anymore, so she took a stool and sat down.

Even so, by the time I got back, it was already noon.

Du Wenxiu, who did not work, was as tired as the two people who did work. She joked that if she had known earlier, she would not have gone and could have cooked a meal at home so that they could eat it when they came back.

Ah Luo smiled and said, "I'm not that spoiled. When I was little, my family was poor and I had to work in the fields every day. I was exhausted and when I came home I had to cook for the whole family."

Having said that, he forced himself to walk towards the kitchen despite his tired body.

Du Wenchan hurried over to stop her: "Aunt, go and have a rest. I'm young and my strength will return quickly. I'll just go and make something simple to eat."

Du Wenxiu watched the two of them pushing and shoving each other, and couldn't help but say, "You two should stop pushing, why don't you go to the restaurant and ask for food to be delivered so that everyone can have a good rest."

"You, by the time you get to the restaurant, the meal will already be cooked. Besides, you have to deliver the meal to Xiao Hu, so don't waste time."

Du Wenchan just found it funny and said.

She turned around and stopped A'Luo, refusing to let her enter the kitchen no matter what. She kneaded the dough and washed the vegetables herself, and soon cooked a pot of clear soup noodles.

"Oh, if you had listened to me earlier, we would have a big dinner now." Du Wenxiu still felt a little regretful.

Du Wenchan turned around and smiled and spat at her: "As long as you can eat enough, the meal is good. Sister, I'm afraid you have forgotten what it was like to be hungry in the past."

When she said that, Du Wenxiu didn't know how to respond.

It was the original body who was hungry. She had only been hungry in the two days since she woke up because of Fang's stinginess.

Lu Fanghai is hardworking and pampers himself, so he always has enough to eat every day.

"Oh, Madam Du, you're eating." An exaggerated greeting came from outside the door. Du Wenxiu didn't turn around, but he knew it was Madam Jiao who came.

He quickly turned around and greeted her warmly. Du Wenchan couldn't help but blush. She lowered her head and finished her noodles in a few mouthfuls. Then she packed up and went to deliver lunch to Xiaohu in the school.

"Mrs. Du is still the same as before, but now she has become more stable and steady." Mrs. Jiao flattered as she entered the room.

"I haven't seen Aunt Jiao for a long time. You look better and better." A Luo brought tea and was pulled aside by Du Wenxiu to chat with Aunt Jiao.

After a few exchanges, Mrs. Jiao knew A'luo's identity. Although she was a concubine, she did not dare to neglect her and hurriedly took the tea and thanked her.

"Alas, I have been feeling very sad these days, but I just don't know how to relieve it."

As soon as Mrs. Jiao sat down, she started practicing Tai Chi. Du Wenxiu didn't respond to her, but just took the fruit for guests and offered her some.

"Well." Mrs. Jiao had no choice but to get straight to the point: "I don't come here for no reason, but I came here for the matter between the Zhu family and Madam Du Er."

"Oh?" Du Wenxiu picked up the teacup, skimmed off the foam with the lid, and looked up at Mrs. Jiao.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it." Mrs. Jiao hesitated, and the decision she had just made was put in her mouth again.

It's really worrying, it's hard to say.

"The Zhu family really doesn't do things in a proper manner." She hesitated for a long time and finally decided to push all the things to the Zhu family.

Anyway, it was because his family didn't follow the rules that she came here to embarrass herself.

Just think of the money his family spent as a way to save her old face.

"A few days ago, those deserters scattered and came to our Dongxing County. Has Madam Du heard about it?" Mrs. Jiao leaned forward and asked tentatively.

Du Wenxiu raised her eyelids, as if she had suddenly realized something: "Oh, I heard about this from Yue Niang. Just hearing her say it scared me enough. Is Aunt Jiao okay?"

"Oh, what could possibly happen to me? I'm still far away from there. It's just that something happened in the Zhu family. I wonder if Madam Du has heard about it."

"What happened in the Zhu family? I haven't heard of anything happening in his family." Du Wenxiu really didn't know.

Yue Niang was always in a hurry, either visiting the workshop or Qiu Yong, and she had no time to talk about anything else.

"I just wonder what's the news about the Zhu family?" Du Wenxiu asked directly.

"That's right. Didn't we agree at that time that they should send Madam Liu back to her parents' home to marry someone else, and then we can talk about the marriage of our Second Madam Du? But this time..."

Mrs. Jiao couldn't help cursing in her heart again, and decided not to accept the matchmaking work of the Zhu family anymore.

Seeing the two people in front of her staring at her with puzzled eyes, Mrs. Jiao finally made up her mind.

"Just a few days ago, some deserters and bandits came to our side. I don't know if they were starving or what, but they broke into a few houses in the village, robbed them, and ran away."

"Only Master Zhu's maternal family, the Liu family, no matter how much money we give them, they don't even know how to reinforce the courtyard wall. A few thieves broke in and took away that..."

Mrs. Jiao sighed and said, "That Aunt Liu's father was beaten to death."

"Ah!" A Luo and Du Wenxiu exclaimed in unison, their faces full of disbelief.

Mrs. Jiao drooped her face, frowned, and sighed:

"At that time, Liu Xuer, her mother and her brothers hid in the cellar, and they managed to escape. Unfortunately, her father was a step too late to get down to the cellar, and he died."

"They say that there are unexpected events in life and that fortune and misfortune may come to us at any time. What do you think of this matter...ah."

Although the willow catkins from the farm looked like that, it was still a human life after all. Du Wenxiu and A Luo looked at each other in silence, feeling sad.

"Why did Aunt Jiao make this trip?" Du Wenxiu asked.

Mrs. Jiao was just waiting for her to ask, and she slapped her thigh and said:

"Well. I wanted to ignore his family's affairs this time, but I felt that I couldn't let Madam Du hang around here for nothing, so I had to make this trip in person."

In fact, Du Wenxiu already had a rough idea in her mind at this moment. She and A'luo looked at each other and didn't say anything, just listened to her.

"This is not... This is not that the eldest son of the Liu family died, leaving only the orphan and the widow at home, and there is no income. This Liu Xu'er's mother, the aunt of Master Zhu, has been going to the Zhu family to look for Grandma Zhu every day since those soldiers left."

"If you don't see him, you'll just sit at the door of the Zhu family and cry. It's really unbearable."
