Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"Yes, I know it myself." Du Wenxiu nodded.

Although Qi Sanniang didn't know that Lu Fanghai was not dead, she could feel his deep love for his daughter.

The two of them had always been awkward with each other, but after this conversation, Du Wenxiu unknowingly became closer to Qi Sanniang.

Yue Niang sent someone to deliver a message, saying that they would leave later tomorrow night, and minus the time on the road, they would arrive just in time for lunch.

Du Wenxiu understood what she meant. It was nothing more than going to see the old shopkeeper when he was at his most embarrassing moment so that he could capture him in one fell swoop. Oh no, he could succeed in one fell swoop.

So he came back with a smile and said he understood. He would pack everything up tomorrow and wait for them to pick him up at home.

He also gave some money to the errand boy, who took it with great joy, thanked him again and again, and then turned back.

"Seeing that you are becoming more and more capable, I feel relieved." Qi Sanniang said with great relief.

Du Wenxiu smiled slightly. He had also read "Dream of Red Mansions" in his previous life. The girl Lin in the novel would always give handfuls of money to the servants, which won everyone's praise.

Although our family is not as wealthy as the Jia family, it's a nice gesture to make some money, and everyone is happy.

When I came back in the evening, except Qiao'er who kept complaining about headache, everything else was fine.

But I don't know if Fan Chengyi can go back to pick the person up. Now that the house has been bought, it would be better to clean it up first.

When Qiao'er heard this, her eyes immediately lit up. She thought her sister-in-law was very capable, as she had accomplished such a big thing so quickly.

Patting his chest, he said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. If Chengyi can't pick her up this time, I will go pick her up myself. I will definitely bring my parents-in-law and daughter over to reunite."

Du Wenxiu was very pleased to hear her praise, and said that after he finished his work as shopkeeper tomorrow, he would hire someone to clean up the long-abandoned house.

"We have to hurry up, otherwise the house won't be ready when the in-laws come over, which would make people laugh at us."

After the meal, they went to bed and there was no conversation all night.

The next day, Du Wenxiu got up early in the morning to feed Haisheng, put on his clothes, and told Qi Sanniang and A Luo that if Haisheng cried because he was hungry, they should boil goat milk for him to drink.

At about 9 o'clock, Yue Niang came over in a carriage, and Chi Linghua rode a horse beside her.

Du Wenxiu bid farewell to his son and aunt, got on the carriage, sat side by side with Yue Niang, and went to Shihe Town together.

"I think there's something wrong with your expression. Tell the truth, did you guys turn your fake play into reality?" There was nothing to do in the car, so Du Wenxiu teased Yue Niang.

Yue Niang blushed and secretly looked outside from the corner of the car window curtain that was blown by the wind, fearing that Chi Linghua might hear it again.

Seeing that there was no one outside for a long time, she thought that he had walked ahead, so she leaned over to Du Wenxiu's ear and whispered a few words.

Du Wenxiu covered her mouth and asked in surprise, "Really?"

Yue Niang nodded shyly and said, "That night he expressed his feelings, and I happened to be interested... Even if it was fake, it became real. It was also fake but true."

"Then doesn't he care?" Du Wenxiu thought about it and asked again.

Yue Niang lowered her eyes slightly, adding a bit of sadness, and then turned to joy:

"He said that it was just because of me that if I was destined to have no biological children, it would be the same even if I adopted one from a side branch. At least I would have someone to take care of me in my old age."

"I've thought about it, too. As long as I have money, it doesn't matter if I don't have any children. It's enough to have someone who knows and understands me by my side for the rest of my life."

Du Wenxiu gently held Yue Niang's hand, and joy seeped out from the bottom of his heart: "This is very good. If you have a good person to accompany you, nothing else matters."

Yue Niang nodded gently and held Du Wenxiu's hand: "Don't worry, Brother Fang Hai will come back eventually."

"Tsk, he never worries about me, so why should I worry about what he does?" Du Wenxiu chuckled.

"I have money, free time, and a son now. What am I missing? Without a man to serve, my life is so carefree. Can't you see it?"

"Yes, yes, I can see it. Just be happy, good days are yet to come." Yue Niang said with a smile.

Then he talked about what happened in the Zhao family yesterday, which made Yue Niang sigh.

"If I could be as open-minded as Grandma Zhao, how could I leave the Qiu family..."

"If you hadn't left the Qiu family, how could you have married into the Chi family and found a husband as talented as Young Master Chi?"

Seeing that Yue Niang looked a little lonely, Du Wenxiu teased her.

"That's true." Yue Niang hugged her knees and smiled, moving closer to Du Wenxiu: "It's possible that the girl named Diancui will die after giving birth to a son. Do you believe it?"

Du Wenxiu nodded silently: "We have all thought about it, but after all, it is someone else's family affair. If she hadn't made such a fuss, there might still be room for maneuver."

In Grandma Zhao's words, she made such a fuss in front of so many guests that people who didn't know her would think she was an intolerant mistress.

Giving birth at this time is like crossing a single-plank bridge or the gates of hell for women. If things go wrong, it could be a matter of life and death.

But the maid looked quite young. Besides being pretty, there was a hint of frivolity in her eyes and eyebrows.

It's hard to say that no one taught him, and not only did he do such a thing, but he also plotted against his mistress again and again.

"If something like this happens in my family, I will make Lu Fanghai take the other woman away and stop getting in my way."

Putting himself in her shoes, Du Wenxiu couldn't help but say hatefully.

I can't stand this kind of anger and can't empathize with them at all.

"How could that be? Brother Fang Hai would never do such a thing." Yue Niang tried to comfort her with false words.

Lu Fanghai has not been home in recent years. He is still young and full of vigor. Who knows if he has done the same thing as Du Wenxiu outside.

Yue Niang didn't dare to make any guarantees, and decided that when she returned home in the evening, she would persuade someone to find out about Lu Fanghai's whereabouts.

But she forgot that the night before, she had planned to find out information for Du Wenxiu.

Unexpectedly, Chi Linghua covered her mouth with his, rubbed her ears, and rolled onto the bed. He didn't stop until she fell into a deep sleep.

Thinking of this, Yue Niang couldn't help blushing. Du Wenxiu took a glance and was secretly amazed. It took him a while to turn back.

However, she was not the type to discuss boudoir secrets with her bestie, so she pretended not to know and just chatted about topics like the weather and farmland.

By the time the blush on Yue Niang's face faded, they had almost reached Shihe Town.

Following the directions of the two men, I first arrived at Hui'an Tower, but found that the entrance was deserted and there was not even a receptionist.

Several people got off the carriage and walked towards the half-open door of Hui'an Tower. It was empty inside, with no tables, chairs or benches left, as if the building was about to close down.

After looking at each other, Yue Niang hesitated and asked, "How about we ask someone else? Maybe the old shopkeeper is not here?"

As they were talking, they heard an argument from upstairs. One person's voice sounded violent, and it seemed that someone had thrown something, with a loud "bang".

There was also a voice that kept comforting him gently, but it was always drowned out by the voice of another person.

"I'll go up and take a look." It wouldn't be a good idea for several people to wait here, so Chi Linghua said first and was about to go forward.
