Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

A simple farewell banquet for Xiaohu ended up turning into a farce due to the drunk Yue Niang's nagging and crying.

The next morning, if it wasn't for sending Xiaohu out on the road, I was afraid that Yue Niang would lock me in the room and not let me come out for the whole day.

"Xiao Hu, once you leave home, you are an adult. Remember not to conflict with others when you go out. Forgive others when you can. Don't put yourself in danger just to vent your anger..."

Xiaohu looked at A Luo, whose mouth was opening and closing in front of him, and felt as if she was his biological mother, so kind, so worried about him, and so caring for him.

She was afraid that he would have to grow up and travel far away on his own before she had taught him well, and she wanted to recite back to her all the life lessons she had learned in the past half of her life.

I wish I could open his brain and put it in there, so that he wouldn't forget it and suffer any harm outside.

"Aunt, I remember, don't worry. I don't drink or fight when I'm outside. I always think of you and my sisters. Please take care of yourself and wait for Xiaohu to come back and honor you."

Xiaohu's eyes were filled with tears and his words were sincere. A'luo couldn't help but have red eyes. He lowered his head and covered his mouth, forcing himself not to cry out loud, and nodded continuously.

"You'd better go back first. If you look like this, Xiaohu won't feel at ease when he goes out, and he'll have to worry about you. It's better not to go out."

Du Wenchan now follows Yue Niang in managing the workshop, and her personality is becoming more and more like her, quite aggressive.

Looking at the two of them crying facing each other, he couldn't help but scold A'Luo out loud.

A Luo also knew that he had lost his composure, so he quickly calmed down. Even if he couldn't hold it in any longer, he would hide behind Du Wenxiu.

She didn't want to miss the opportunity to send Xiaohu to Beijing.

Xiaohu turned to Du Wenxiu, wondering what she wanted to say to him.

Du Wenxiu reached out his hand and straightened Xiaohu's shirt. He was lost in thought for a while before he spoke:

"When you go to the capital, don't act on your own. Master Chi has already told the caravan to take care of you if anything happens."

"When you get to the capital, don't go out to look for someone by yourself. Find someone in the caravan, give him some money, tell him your brother Lu's address, and ask him to pick you up."

Xiaohu also remembered the dirty things Sister Yulan had said, and knew Du Wenxiu's good intentions, so he listened obediently.

Du Wenxiu took Xiaohu's hand and calmly stuffed the purse in his hand into his sleeve.

"Meet your sister and ask her how she is doing. Do whatever she arranges."

"If you're asked how you're doing in our house, just tell me what it is like. You don't have to cover up for me."

"If you lie to her, she will be sad. Only if you tell her the truth will she feel at ease. Do you understand?"

Xiaohu's eyes were about to get wet again, so he nodded vigorously, trying to wipe out the tears.

Yue Niang and Du Wenchan also stepped forward and presented him with parting gifts before letting him go slowly with the convoy.

After walking for a while, Xiaohu turned back and asked them to stop. He was about to kowtow to them, but was stopped.

"You go ahead and have a safe trip." Du Wenxiu said softly.

Knowing that he would take Lu with him, it was inconvenient to send him too far, and not to expose him, so he stopped in front of the door.

Xiaohu stammered, but still said nothing. He turned around and strode forward, joined the caravan, and mounted his horse.

He turned around to look at them again, clasped his fists in a false salute, then turned back and rode away.

"This is still a child--" A Luo couldn't help crying again.

"Oh, my dear aunt, I am your biological child. Why do you always cry for others? But what are you dissatisfied with me?"

Du Wenchan was shouting in a weird way, which made A Luo laugh again. He slapped her lightly on the back and scolded her for looking like a monkey.

Just as they supported each other and returned to the house, a woman who worked in the workshop came to the door and said that something happened in the workshop and wanted the boss to go and take a look.

When Yue Niang asked, they hesitated and refused to explain clearly.

After seeing this, Du Wenxiu couldn't help feeling suspicious, so she left A Luo to look after the house, and the other two followed them to take a look at the workshop.

The workshop had only been in operation for a few days, and some of the new women had not yet gotten the hang of it, so they were being taught by the experienced women.

In the corner, several jars were lying on the ground, and the brine inside had spilled all over the floor. A woman stood there with a dazed look in her eyes, not knowing what to do.

"Madam An, Madam Du, this newcomer Cheng Suying did not listen to our instructions and moved the jar without permission, causing a disaster."

"If everyone behaves like her in the future, we won't dare teach them. How are we going to compensate for the spilled brine? Ladies, please come up with a set of rules."

Several people were talking at the same time, making Cheng Suying's face even paler.

When she heard that she had to compensate for the brine, she pursed her lips tightly, tears in her eyes, walked up to the three people, and slowly knelt down.

Du Wenchan cried out "Ah!" and went over to pull her up, but was held up on each side by Du Wenxiu and Yue Niang, and the three of them avoided the direction where Cheng Suying was kneeling.

"Madam Cheng, what was the situation at that time? Why don't you tell us again?" Du Wenxiu asked softly.

"Mrs. Du, don't you believe us?" Several women questioned Du Wenxiu in a rather aggressive manner.

Before Du Wenxiu could speak, Yue Niang was already displeased. She glared at him and said, "We should believe you just because you said it? You can't just listen to one side of the story."

"If you act like this just because I don't trust you, we in Wenyuefang may not be able to afford such a big Buddha like you." Du Wenxiu also said coldly.

Several women retreated to the back in dismay, not daring to say another word without being asked.

Seeing that things seemed to be taking a turn for the better, Cheng Suying's eyes showed a little more hope, and she raised her head and said slowly:

"I'd like to let the ladies know. Since I came to the workshop, no one was willing to take me. These sisters said they were willing to teach me, and I was overjoyed and followed them to this corner."

"The sisters said that if I wanted to stay, I had to move the big jar of pickles by myself. This job is very important to me, so I would move it even if it cost me my life."

"It's just...it's just that I finally lifted a jar and took a few steps when I tripped over something and ended up like this..."

As soon as Cheng Suying finished telling the story, several women started jumping up and down.

"Nonsense! You are slandering me!"

"Why do you have to move it? It's obviously you who overestimated your own abilities and insisted on showing off, causing the ladies to lose a jar of the best brine."

"If I had known that you were a person with evil intentions, you would be a nuisance if you stayed here. Who would dare to work with you? Aren't you afraid that evil spirits would come to hunt you at night?"

Du Wenxiu listened without saying anything. He glanced at Yue Niang and Du Wenchan, who were also staring at him.

It seems that everyone has the same idea.

Du Wenxiu already understood it.

"Why is no one willing to take you in? When they recruited you, they should have designated a woman to teach you. She needs to teach you step by step before she can receive the salary of an apprentice."

Du Wenxiu asked softly.

It turned out that in order to prevent the women in the workshop from teaching apprentices and starving themselves to death, they had agreed early on that each time they trained an apprentice, they would receive an extra bonus.

In the future, I have to be careful that my apprentice does not make mistakes. If he does, the master’s wages will be deducted.

If the apprentice performs well, the master can receive a small bonus within a certain period of time.
