Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

These defeated soldiers are so arrogant. When Yue Niang returns to the city in a few days, I am afraid that the road will be in turmoil again.

I wanted to hire another bailiff to pick her up, but I didn't know the exact day she would return to the city, and I couldn't just let her wait there.

After seeing the old woman off, Du Wenxiu sat by the window again and sighed.

After a few days of living in fear every day, I thought the time was almost up.

The matters concerning the workshop should be arranged in the next few days. If she doesn't want to come back, she can be tied up and brought here.

Du Wenxiu secretly made up his mind, and dressed up and prepared to go to the county government office.

It's better than her taking a car back by herself. If she encounters defeated soldiers and bandits, it will be too late to regret then.

As soon as she opened the gate, she saw the owner of Zang Yaxuan, who was standing at the door with his hand raised, about to knock on the door, and was smiling at her awkwardly.

Chi Linghua, who was standing in the back with a serious face, saw her coming out and hurried forward and said:

"The first batch of goods should be out soon, so I came to ask. Sorry to bother you, Madam Du."

"Ah, no, no." Du Wenxiu hurriedly let them in and asked A Luo to serve tea.

"Young Master is counting the days. It is true that the goods can be shipped in the next two days."

No matter how anxious he was, Du Wenxiu remained calm and composed when facing his important client and chatted with him.

Chi Linghua frowned slightly and said:

"This is our first delivery. I brought a man and a carriage and prepared to go over to get to know the place. I'm afraid I'll need someone from Madam Du to lead the way."

"Okay, okay. It's my duty." Du Wenxiu smiled more sincerely.

He had said earlier that he was going to pick up the goods, and that he had been so worried about Yue Niang these days that he had forgotten about this matter.

"But the roads are not peaceful these days, with many deserted soldiers and bandits causing trouble. If we want to haul the goods, I'm afraid we need some good hands."

Chi Linghua smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam Du. My men have followed me all over the country and have some experience in martial arts. We are not afraid of these defeated soldiers."

Du Wenxiu turned her head to look, and A Luo came forward and said, "Why don't I go with the young master? I'm familiar with the workshop, and you two can't get away here either."

A Luo said this only for Chi Linghua to hear.

Du Wenxiu was a pregnant woman, and Du Wenchan was an unmarried girl, so it would be inappropriate for either of them to go.

Only A Luo is convenient.

Du Wenxiu originally wanted to explain more to A'luo, but she didn't expect that she was so insightful that she understood everything immediately, saving a lot of arguments.

Du Wenxiu smiled and nodded. Chi Linghua said, "We have all the people and carriages ready. Please move, lady. We will be back sooner rather than later."

A Luo was not pretentious. He went in and said something to Du Wenchan who was learning to read, then greeted Du Wenxiu, and then followed Chi Linghua.

Du Wenxiu followed him to the door to see, and just as Chi Linghua said, all the people brought were strong men with big shoulders and strong waists, and they looked very brave.

I couldn't help but feel relieved. Looking back, I saw Yue Niang coming back with me, and she was much safer too.

Go in the morning and come back in the evening.

The Du sisters waited anxiously until the sun set, standing at the door, looking forward to it, feeling extremely anxious.

When Xiaohu came back from school, he saw the sisters standing there looking into the distance, and his heart trembled slightly.

"Sister Lu, what are you and Sister Du doing standing at the door?"

"Xiao Hu, you're back from school. Why are you so late today? The food is warm in the kitchen, so you can go and eat. Auntie Luo is out and hasn't come back yet, so we'll have to wait for her."

Xiao Hu seemed to be relieved and said, "Where is my aunt? Why don't I go look for her?"

Du Wenxiu smiled and said, "Yes, I am going to the village. If I don't arrive soon, I will have to trouble you to go to the city gate to take a look. Go and fill your stomach first."

Xiaohu didn't insist and went inside to eat.

Fortunately, we didn't have to wait long before we saw a carriage coming this way.

A Luo got out of the car, but Yue Niang didn't follow him, and Du Wenxiu couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Ah Luo smiled and said, "Mrs. Chi from Taohua Village is really good at planning. She and Yue Niang made a lot of preparations and managed to make more than a hundred jars."

"Then Master Chi took a look and took them all. The car can't fit them all, so Yue Niang will stay one more night. Tomorrow, Master Chi will bring people to get pickles and bring Yue Niang back at the same time."

As Luo walked in and dusted himself off, he talked to Du Wenxiu about the current situation of the Taohua Village workshop.

Du Wenxiu was amazed and sighed that Yue Niang had a sharp eye and picked a good candidate. This Madam Chi was really a person who could get things done.

"Outside the city, we are indeed harassed by the defeated soldiers from time to time. I heard that they have established a mountaintop of their own, and they are even more rampant than the previous Qinglong Village."

"Which of the nearby villages has not been robbed? Even in our workshop, there are often women who cannot go to work because of family accidents."

"Is our workshop okay? Has it been robbed by the fleeing soldiers?" Du Wenchan couldn't help but worry.

Du Wenxiu also looked at A Luo with concern.

Luo smiled and said, "That's right, Madam Chi. She picked a lot of strong men from her brothers and relatives from her mother's family and hired them to patrol the workshop day and night. There was nothing wrong."

"This...I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money." Du Wenxiu frowned, gently pulling the handkerchief in his hand, as if thinking about something.

"Mrs. Yue just sent me back to tell you that although Mrs. Chi didn't say anything, she did her best to rush such a large batch of goods."

"She intends to give Madam Chi more money to subsidize the expenses of hiring young men to patrol the area."

Du Wenxiu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's what I was thinking. Now is a difficult time, and Madam Chi has just taken over the workshop. We can earn less in exchange for her sincere treatment, which is more worthwhile than earning any amount of money."

"Then you two are thinking the same thing." Luo laughed. "She said that although she knew you wouldn't disagree, she still wanted me to greet you first."

"I think you two are more like real sisters, you have so much in common. Even I have to line up behind you." Du Wenchan pouted and hugged her sister's arm, acting coquettishly, causing a burst of laughter.

Xiaohu was studying in the side room. There was a brazier burning in the room for warmth, just like the main room. He could hear the laughter coming from the main room but didn't think it was noisy.

In the past few days, Mrs. Lu has been looking for him more frequently, as if she would feel uneasy if she didn't see him for a day.

He was afraid that Du Wenxiu would find out.

Du Wenxiu is in charge of my food and drink now. I wonder what they will think if I am found out that I am secretly interacting with Lu.

If you have something on your mind, you can't concentrate on reading.

Xiaohu closed the book, turned around and lay on the bed, covering his head with the quilt, his thoughts in a mess.

"Xiao Hu, are you feeling unwell?" A Luo's voice came.

The quilt was gently lifted, and A Luo's gentle face was not very clear under the light of the lamp.

A Luo put his hand on his forehead, fortunately, it was not hot.

"Aunt, I'm fine, just... a little tired from studying." Xiaohu said hurriedly.

A Luo nodded with a smile, and asked whether his second sister could bring him lunch on time at noon, and whether he had eaten enough in school.

Xiaohu nodded hurriedly, saying that he was fine and asked Alomo not to worry.

In addition to Du Wenchan, Lu would also send one later.

How can I not be full?
