Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Lu Fanghai came and went, disrupting the family's original New Year's rhythm.

Originally, I thought that besides the Fan family, there would also be neighbors coming to pay New Year's greetings, and then we would just eat and drink at home.

After this year, if you relax for a few days, it can be considered as a break.

He brought the news again.

A few people talked about Empress Dowager Rong's heroic deeds behind closed doors. Although they were from different camps, they couldn't help but admire her.

Du Wenxiu sighed secretly. Since he traveled through time, he thought he would be able to thrive in this ancient world.

But no matter whether he is good or evil, right or wrong, he has met many women who are stronger than himself.

Not to mention Qin Dingxiang who dared to kill people, and Queen Mother Rong who dared to enter the enemy camp alone, even Yue Niang who was smiling in front of him was not as good as him.

Du Wenxiu secretly sighed, just to get the title of a time traveler, what earth-shattering things had he done?

I just want to have a stable family, earn a little money, and watch others shine.

When I was in the company, I was always criticized by my leaders for not having a pioneering spirit and being more suitable for maintaining the status quo.

It is the same here now. It seems that it is difficult to change people's nature.

Du Wenxiu raised the corners of her mouth slightly and listened to their gossip.

Sparks popped from the charcoal in the brazier from time to time, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard outside.

There was a little boy named Xiaohu outside the door. Several people laughed at him, saying that he went to school every day and yet he still had time to be the leader of the kids in the alley.

Xiaohu went out with a wry smile, he usually studied and practiced martial arts, so he had no chance to play with the children.

Sure enough, when he turned the corner, he saw Lu huddled in the corner in the cold wind. When she saw him coming, she hurried over to meet him.

Xiao Hu's face darkened, he walked forward and said softly: "Didn't I tell you not to come look for me? Why are you here again at this time?"

Mrs. Lu felt a little aggrieved: "During this New Year, every family is reunited, but only we mother and son cannot see each other."

"I really missed you, so I came to see you. Don't worry, I dare not let them know."

Xiaohu was helpless. He listened to Mrs. Lu's chattering and asking about his well-being, but he didn't say a word.

"Son, it is said that there are no parents who are not wrong in the world. How can you resent your mother to this extent? It must be that the daughter-in-law of the Lu family said something in front of you..."

Hearing the resentment in Lu's words, Xiaohu was shocked and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense."

Mrs. Lu was shocked, her eyes filled with hatred as she said, "You and I are no longer like son and mother. Even the beggar wouldn't treat his mother like this."

Xiaohu had a headache. How could Lu change his nature, as it was a bad one?

If I stay in the Lu family's courtyard any longer, I'm afraid that Du Wenxiu and the others will suffer misfortune.

Having made up his mind, he said to Lu in a gentle voice:

"You gave birth to me and raised me, how could I resent you? I wanted to borrow their family's help to finish my studies, so that I can be filial to you in the future."

"Now that you don't want to, I don't have the heart to study anymore. I might as well find an excuse to leave the Lu family and live with you."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu was overjoyed.

I thought that my son was close to the Lu family, but was not kind to me. I was afraid that I had raised this son in vain.

She curled up in bed thinking about it for a few days, and became more and more obsessed with it. She couldn't help but feel angry, so she decided to meet Xiaohu again to see if he really didn't want her as his mother anymore.

If she lost her son to rely on, no one else would be able to take advantage of her.

It’s better to set a fire once more, but this time I can’t be soft-hearted and burn that family to the ground.

By then, my son will be alone...

But he is just a half-grown child. If he leaves his support, he has to live with himself, right?

"Please be patient for a while. If I leave like this, they will definitely come looking for me. By then, we won't bother to deal with these things. It will only cause trouble."

Xiaohu advised again, and Lu would certainly agree.

After coaxing her away with kind words, Xiaohu slowly walked back, thinking about how to explain to Du Wenxiu.

From afar, she saw someone from Zang Yaxuan at the door handing a piece of paper to Yue Niang, and she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

The New Year isn’t even over yet and you’re already ordering new goods?

It seems that Mrs. Lu's business is getting better and better, and Xiaohu is happy for them.

I just thought that I would be leaving here soon, and I didn't know if I would be able to see you again in the future, and I felt sad.

When he entered the room, he saw Du Wenxiu sitting in the room, looking at the list. A Luo and Du Wenchan beside him were looking at him with complicated expressions.

Xiaohu didn't know what to say, so he lowered his head and walked towards the west wing.

"Xiao Hu, come here, I have something to tell you." Du Wenxiu glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and called out to him.

Xiaohu paused, then stood forward with his head lowered.

Du Wenxiu was silent for a long time before he spoke: "This is a letter sent by your elder brother Lu, saying that he has found your sister and is asking if you are willing to go look for her?"

Xiaohu looked at Du Wenxiu in surprise. When Du Wenxiu called him just now, he thought she had discovered his secret relationship with Lu.

Now he says he has found his sister.

I originally wanted to take Li away from Du Wenxiu's family.

Now is a good opportunity.

Xiaohu thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Du Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In a few days, the Chi family will send pickles to Tianzhou near the capital. Xiaohu can follow their convoy to the capital."

Xiaohu hesitated a little, as if he had something to hide and didn't know how to start.

Du Wenxiu turned around and told Du Wenchan: "Remember to ask when the Chi family caravan will go north to deliver goods."

Xiao Hu said hurriedly: "This is my own business, I'd better go and ask it myself."

Du Xiu looked at him deeply, and after a long while he said, "Okay, then go and ask."

For some reason, Xiaohu felt a little guilty when looking into Du Wenxiu's eyes.

He left the house, but did not go to Zang Yaxuan first.

Xiaohu followed the address that Lu had told him.

Lu had no money and lived in the most shabby place in the south of the city.

As soon as I entered, I heard sounds of beating, scolding, screaming, and shouting.

Even on sunny days, the muddy paths were always full of dirty water, and the soles of your feet were so sticky that you could hardly lift them.

The door next to me opened with a creak.

A woman in tattered clothes held a basin of dirty water of unknown color and poured it over with a "splash".

Xiaohu practices martial arts every day, and he is quick-witted and nimble in avoiding the attacks.

Going further inside, all kinds of smells mixed together and rushed into your nose, making it hard to breathe.

Xiaohu walked to the door of a house and saw two crumbling gates in front of him.

Looking through the waist-high wall, I could see two women wrestling with each other, swearing at each other.

"You eat my food, live in my house, and you refuse to do more work when I ask you to. Why do you still want to live here when you have a job that pays you? Fly away to your favorite place as soon as possible."

The thin woman also cursed:

"I live and eat here, but since I've been paid, I've given you some money from time to time. How can you say I live and eat for free? I'm telling you, don't be too cruel. One day, you'll suffer a loss and then you'll realize it."

Xiaohu strode forward and separated the two women.
