Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"Aunt." Du Wenxiu stood in front of the chair and called softly.

A Luo turned around with a look of joy, and wanted to explain to her, but he choked up.

"Xiuniang, come here." she called softly.

Du Wenxiu pursed her lips and walked over step by step.

A Luo reached out and pulled her, and said to Qi Sanniang, whose eyes were red:

"This is Xiuniang. Look, she has grown so big."

Qi Sanniang stared at her in a daze, covered her mouth, whimpered, turned her head away, and tears flew out.

Zhang Yapo didn't understand what was going on, but as she was used to all kinds of scenes, she had some ideas in her mind when she saw this scene.

He immediately asked the others to move away.

A Luo and Du Wenxiu exchanged glances and called Du Wenchan to go and invite Zhang Yapo again.

"Madam Zhang, do you have the indentures of all the people we brought here today?"

Du Wenxiu knew that the brokers in the market often traded goods with each other, just like regular businessmen.

Hence this question.

The clever Zhang Yapo smiled awkwardly: "Among the girls that Madam Du saw today, only the eldest girl's indenture is here with me."

"These maids..." As she said this, she looked up at Qi Sanniang.

"This indenture of Qi Sanniang is with my good sister, and I can get it right away."

"In that case, then we'll trouble Aunt Zhang. We'll keep the eldest girl as the maid, and this Madam Qi... Madam Qi, thank you for your trouble, Aunt Zhang. I'll pay you a little more."

Du Wenxiu quickly glanced at Qi Sanniang and spoke to Zhang Yapo in a low and quick voice.

"Oh, Madam Du, don't worry. We have been friends for a long time. Let's talk about whether to increase the price or not. I will go find my old sister and get Madam Qi's indenture."

After saying that, Zhang Yapo took small steps away from Du Wenxiu's new house.

She took away all the people she brought with her except Daya and Qi Sanniang who were left behind by Du Wenxiu.

Not long after, Zhang Yapo brought over Qi Sanniang's indenture. Du Wenxiu did not ask how much it cost. No matter how much she wanted, he asked Du Wenchan to get the silver.

"Madam Du, don't be in a hurry." Grandma Zhang said with a smile.

"Mrs. Du originally asked me to find a reliable family to guard the gate for you. I have been keeping an eye on the childless old couple, but I haven't found them yet."

"Now that Madam Du is about to move in, it won't do for a family of women to be without a man."

"It just so happened that among the little girls just now, the youngest one, Xiao Hua'er, lived with her grandfather. Seeing that her financial situation was not good and she could not afford to support others, she asked me to ask if Madam Du was willing to take them in as housekeepers."

A Luo took Qi Sanniang to the east wing and sat there, waiting for Du Wenxiu and her sister to finish their work before coming over to meet them.

Du Wenxiu asked Zhang Yapo to call the family over to take a look.

Xiaohua didn't see Du Wenxiu asking her just now, and was happily eating fruit aside.

She had just eaten for a while when she was called out again. Her stomach was only half full and she was crying and asking her grandfather to make her something delicious.

He was called in again and behaved well again when he saw strangers.

Du Wenxiu saw that although the child was small, she was not a spoiled little girl.

My grandfather, Old Man Yang, looked like an honest farmer. His skin was tanned by the sun and full of wrinkles, and he had a reserved smile on his face.

"If you leave your grandparents at home, your little girl will have to learn to do housework. I wonder if you are willing to let her go?"

Du Wenxiu was pleased to see the man had an honest face.

And according to what Grandma Zhang said, it is not easy for the grandparents, one old and one young, to get some food.

Staying at home to watch the door and passing around messages in a proper manner, the so-called kindness is nothing more than giving them a bite to eat.

"Of course I am willing to do so. Thank you, Grandma Bodhisattva. I, Old Man Yang, am definitely not a sneaky or cunning person. Grandma Bodhisattva, you can rest assured."

Old man Yang pulled his ignorant granddaughter to kowtow to Du Wenxiu, and Du Wenxiu hurriedly asked him to get up.

Grandma Zhang Ya advised him, "It's not easy for someone to give you and your grandchildren food to eat now. You must do your job well. If you don't listen and are kicked out, don't look for me to do things for you again."

Old man Yang responded timidly, then he found a place to squat by the wall according to what Zhang Yapo said, waiting for the master to arrange things.

Du Wenchan recounted the money, put it in an exquisite purse and gave it to Zhang Yapo.

"Oh, my second wife, this purse alone is worth more than ten cents. It's a pity to give it to me."

Zhang Yapo shouted exaggeratedly, and Du Wenxiu smiled slightly: "Madam Zhang, please don't be so formal. I still need you to accompany my sister to go through the formalities with the government and get the matter settled."

"From what happened today, it can be seen that Aunt Zhang has excellent connections and abilities. If my family needs anything in the future, I will need Aunt Zhang's full support."

Zhang Yapo patted her chest to make a promise, which in turn earned her praise from Du Wenxiu.

She smiled and sent them out the door, and told Du Wenchan to release Qi Sanniang immediately and arrange for Old Man Yang and his grandchildren to live in the gatehouse first.

Only then did Du Wenxiu go to the east wing.

When she reached the door, she couldn't help but feel a little more hesitant.

It is said that one is homesick, but the one inside is the biological mother of this body.

Du Wenxiu had no impression of her at all.

According to A'luo, her biological mother was sold not long after she was born, and then A'luo was bought into the family.

But A Luo recognized her, which led to him recognizing her as Du Wenxiu's biological mother today.

That's it, now that it's here, let's make peace with it.

Du Wenxiu put away his tangled thoughts, calmed himself, knocked on the door and walked in.

The two people who were chatting and crying stopped talking when they saw her come in.

Qi Sanniang slowly stood up from the chair, raised her chin slightly, and looked at Du Wenxiu who came in with sadness in her eyes.

The chaotic thoughts that had just been put away suddenly burst out again and filled Du Wenxiu's heart.

She didn't know why, but tears started streaming down her cheeks.

The face of the woman in front of me was so strange, yet so familiar.

She raised her hand to cover her heart, feeling the pain so severe that she could hardly control it.

It was she who gave life to this body, and that allowed her soul to be resurrected in this body.

But why do I feel a connection between our hearts?

"I...you..." Qi Sanniang opened her mouth but didn't know how to start.

What to say?

You have suffered a lot growing up, right?

But seeing that she is living a life of luxury now, she should be living a good life.

But how could one have a good life growing up under a stepmother like Du Jiale?

"I'm fine. How have you been these years?"

Du Wenxiu asked calmly.

Qi Sanniang lowered her eyes, shook her head, and then nodded.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. But you, you suffered a lot in the beginning, didn't you?"

Her deep voice is not quite similar to Du Wenxiu's.

Du Wenxiu's voice is clear and pleasant, which makes people feel happy when listening to it.

Qi Sanniang's voice was a little hoarse, but there seemed to be a calming power hidden in it.

A Luo stood aside, couldn't help but smile and wiped his slightly moist eyes.

"Now that you're back, I'm glad. I thought we would never meet again in this lifetime."

Yeah, I thought I would never see it in this lifetime.
