Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"Why, sister-in-law?" Lu Dawei wailed, and his voice could be heard in the kitchen.

Du Wenxiu looked at him with a half-smile: "You forgot, my sister is still in mourning."

Lu Dawei's face turned red, and he defended himself: "This is a big event for my sister-in-law's family, how could I forget it?"

"I am just taking this opportunity to ask my sister-in-law for a promise. I, Lu Dawei, will be more motivated to do things."

Du Wenxiu nodded with a smile: "Since you are so thoughtful, we will appreciate your kindness."

Then he went out and called Du Wenchan and A Luo over, and said to them:

"This is Lu Dawei's second time proposing marriage. We should give him a definite answer on whether it will be successful or not. Don't keep him hanging and waste his youth."

Lu Dawei still waved his hands and said, "No delay, no delay. For our sister, I am willing to delay for many years."

He spoke so shamelessly that Du Wenchan felt as if her face was on fire. She could not hear anything her sister said.

"Let me make it clear to you first. You are an official now, and my family is just civilians. No matter how much merit Fang Hai has earned, he has not received a single cent. You and I both know this."

Lu Dawei wanted to explain to him, but was interrupted by Du Wenxiu.

"I know everything about what Lu Fanghai did. What I want to talk about now is you."

When Lu Dawei heard her talking about him again, he did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly lowered his head to listen.

"Although my family is not a wealthy one, my sister has always had a bad fate. I just want her to live a good life in the future, but I don't want her to suffer from those people's troubles."

"We don't have any special abilities, and my sister has earned a dowry for herself. No matter who she marries in the future, she will have no worries about food and clothing. Even if we want to divorce later, she can still support herself."

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't say that. How could I let her suffer for no reason? I will definitely marry her back to be a wife to be served by others. Sister-in-law, just believe me."

Lu Dawei interrupted and explained. Du Wenxiu smiled and looked at him sideways: "It's been so long since the Emperor ascended the throne, and you just came here. Haven't you set up a family business in the capital?"

Lu Dawei waved his hands and shook his head:

"I am alone, why should I have any property? Even if it is a gift from the Emperor, I should ask Brother Lu to keep it. I have been living in the army every day. A home is not a home until I have a wife."

Du Wenxiu's heart moved slightly. He looked at him sideways and remained silent for a long time.

It took a long time for Lu Dawei to come back to his senses. He looked around and saw that everyone was staring at him. He couldn't help scratching his head and laughing awkwardly.

"So, you are connected with him, right?" Du Wenxiu's eyes became deep and he asked in a deep voice.

Lu Dawei looked around, opened his mouth, but said nothing. He lowered his head and said no more.

A Luo brought the dishes to the table, but as soon as he entered the room, he noticed a strange atmosphere. He looked around and quietly retreated, and brought Du Wenchan and Qiuyue to serve the meal to the table.

"Come on, no matter how big the matter is, let's eat first." A Luo warmly invited the people in the room with different expressions to eat.

Seeing that he refused to say anything, Du Wenxiu did not ask any further questions and just pretended that she had not asked that question.

"Is this a dish made by a girl? It tastes much better than the big pot meals in the military camp."

Seeing that Du Wenxiu let him go for the time being, Lu Dawei regained his strength and praised him profusely.

Du Wenchan blushed and shook her head. She wanted to say something, but when she saw Lu Dawei's fiery gaze that seemed to be glued to her, she lowered her head in shame.

A Luo looked at Lu Dawei and saw that he seemed to treat his own daughter as a dish, just glancing at her and taking a bite of food, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed at his lack of propriety.

He stood up, picked up a piece of pork head with chopsticks, put it in Lu Dawei's bowl, and said with a smile: "Don't just eat the rice, eat more vegetables."

"Hey, hey." Lu Dawei smiled even more and lowered his head to eat.

After dinner, A Luo took Du Wenchan and Qiuyue to clean up the mess, while Du Wenxiu took the child into the inner room to feed her, and Qi Sanniang followed in to look after her.

Yue Niang invited the two to sit down and have tea.

"I saw you in the capital that day. I didn't say much in such a hurry, but you looked like you had suffered a lot."

Yue Niang smiled and chatted with Fan Chengyi about family matters.

Fan Chengyi knew that she had a good relationship with Du Wenxiu, so he had no scruples when speaking, and could not help but smile bitterly:

"It's more than just suffering. If I hadn't met Madam An, I would have been sleeping on the streets."

"Oh? What does this mean?" Yue Niang asked puzzledly.

She recalled the scene when she met Fan Chengyi in the capital, and she still finds it funny.

Chi Linghua took her out for a stroll, and when they heard that there was a fight over there, they went to join in the fun.

I don't want to see a man being pinned against the wall by a few beggars and beaten without any chance to fight back.

He didn't suffer any loss either, shouting things like "the majority bullying the minority", "two fists can't beat four hands", and "Grandpa is not afraid of you".

I was watching with great interest when the man showed his face. It turned out to be Fan Chengyi, whom I knew.

Yue Niang hurriedly threw away the melon seeds in her hand and called Chi Linghua to rescue him. A group of servants rushed up and took great effort to pull Fan Chengyi out from the crowd of beggars.

When we first met in Beijing, Fan Chengyi looked more like a beggar than a beggar, with a messy hair and his clothes had lost their original color.

Even when I went home to take a shower, I had to change three buckets of water before I could get clean.

Chi Linghua, who was having dinner with him, was also frightened. Although he was a young man with martial arts skills, he looked like he hadn't eaten for several days.

When the food came, he wolfed it down like a whirlwind. He ate until his stomach was full and he burped continuously before he stopped.

Thinking of the embarrassing experience at that time, Fan Chengyi couldn't help but laugh:

"The money I brought with me, um, was robbed, and I was sent over there to get information, and I was taken advantage of by those beggars."

As Fan Chengyi spoke, he shook his head, lamenting his bad luck.

Yue Niang smiled slightly and said, "Later, Master Chi took you somewhere else, and I never saw you again. I don't even know when you came back."

"This..." Fan Chengyi hesitated and did not answer. Instead, he asked:

"Mrs. An and Young Master Chi are happily married. I forgot to congratulate them. I will definitely send them a gift when I get home."

As a result, a layer of frost appeared on Yue Niang's face. She wanted to explain, but she didn't want to reveal Chi Linghua's background.

He responded vaguely and asked how Qiao'er and her daughter were doing in the Fan family, which earned a sigh from Fan Chengyi.

"It is what everyone wants for their family to prosper. But for people like us who have no skills, it means that our wives and children suffer."

"I only hope that His Majesty will hold an imperial examination. I will definitely go to the capital to take the examination and pursue a bright future, so that I can teach my wife to walk in front of others with her head held high."

Yue Niang couldn't help but sigh, her eyes rolled, and she said:

"Since you are unhappy at home, why don't you come back to Dongxing County?"

"Now that your sister-in-law and I have a growing business, we are short of manpower. If you don't despise us for being businessmen, this would be a good idea."

After hearing this, Fan Chengyi couldn't help but feel somewhat moved.
