Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"How is this possible?" Du Wenxiu asked in surprise.

Cheng Suying was about to say something when she heard the patient's family members inside calling again. She smiled apologetically at Du Wenxiu and went in.

After a while, he came out again and said to her hurriedly:

"In our line of work, there's no way we can care about the difference between men and women. Now I can't leave, and I don't have anyone to find it for you."

There was another cry from inside, so Cheng Suying had to go in again. Du Wenxiu had no choice but to step in. She saw that the patient was just afraid that she was not around and felt uneasy, so he kept calling out.

Cheng Suying was not at all helpless. She helped him check the position of the silver needle again and told him to be at ease.

When he turned around, he saw Du Wenxiu coming in and said with a wry smile:

"If you want to learn the skills to make a living, you should not be too rigid about gender. When I decided to teach my little sister medicine, I had already thought about it. Even if she cannot get married in the future because of this problem, I must let my daughter learn the skills to make a living."

"Besides, you're sending him to the countryside. You can't just send him there alone. There has to be an adult with him. That way, our little sister will have a companion. What is there to be afraid of?"

"I can't possibly not believe you, right?" Cheng Suying smiled, Du Wenxiu nodded, and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to my little sister."

"Well, what are you worried about? I'm busy here too, and you can't help. You'd better go back and put things in order earlier." Having said that, Cheng Suying pushed her out the door.

Du Wenxiu returned home and told Lu Erniang what Cheng Suying had said, and then said:

"If my younger sister goes, I will definitely not use your method of eliminating future troubles. This child is smart, well-behaved and filial. If you don't agree, send Erlang away alone and find a barefoot doctor in the countryside to take care of him."

Lu Er Niang couldn't persuade her, and Er Lang's body couldn't be separated from others. Du Wenxiu also promised to ask A Luo to go over and watch over him, and she nodded in agreement.

Du Wenxiu called A Luo in, told her the current situation, and asked her to take Erlang and Cheng Xiaomei to live at the farm for a few days.

Although the farm was no longer hers, it was in the hands of Yue Niang's brother and sister-in-law. The two families got along like one family, so it should not be difficult to borrow the property by just giving a greeting.

It was fine for A'Luo, since she had Yuan Xi and Liu Qiaohua at home who had learned cooking from her for some time. Even if she couldn't do it, there was still Du Wenxiu watching over her, so she had nothing to worry about.

So he agreed immediately, took on the job of borrowing the farm, packed up his things and went to An Feng's house.

After talking to him, An Feng indeed agreed, and said that they would go to the farm tomorrow to settle some things, and asked A Luo to go with them.

"The farm still has the things you bought earlier. We haven't bought anything since then. See if there's anything missing. I'll drive over early tomorrow morning and load it up."

An Feng also gave thoughtful instructions, and A Luo was so happy that he thanked him again and again, and his smile was still on his face when he turned back.

Thinking back to the time when I was a lowly concubine who was looked down upon by everyone, I thought I would spend my whole life being treated like a slave.

Now I can actually stand up straight and interact with others, and I am respected. I feel very happy.

When she went back and told Du Wenxiu about it, the corners of her mouth were still curled up. Du Wenxiu couldn't help but feel surprised and asked her what good news she had.

Ah Luo just told her, and then sighed: "So that's what I was thinking. I'm not afraid of hardship or fatigue. I just hope his family won't sell me out. I'll be willing to die if I can see Chan'er find a good family."

"I never thought that today I would be standing in front of someone and talking to him seriously, and he treated me like a human being."

As he said this, he raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, but he felt as if his eyes were covered with sand and he could not wipe them away.

Du Wenxiu stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulders. The family was bustling with activity before, and there were few outsiders. Even when A Luo went out, he was just following instructions to do things.

In the end, she still considered herself a servant in her heart, and whenever Du Wenchan argued with her, she would often give in.

It seemed like today was the first time that she had to communicate seriously with others about what she was going to do, so it was no wonder that she had such an exclamation.

"Aunt, please don't say such things in the future. We are a small family, and we don't have the big rules of other families. Everyone must live a good life."

A Luo wiped his tears and nodded repeatedly.

At this time, Old Man Yang from the front yard came trotting in to report that an official from the government office had come and wanted to see the master.

A Luo couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and Qi Sanniang also came over. Du Wenxiu comforted them both, and when they came out, they saw that it was Wu Xiaoliu who came.

Wu Xiaoliu came here to spy on the vicious man in their house.

Coincidentally, the man was from a county in Haizhou, not far from Dongxing County. He came to Dongxing because he heard that his wife was sold here, so he came to look for her.

"Why is he looking for his wife and snooping around in my house?" Du Wenxiu was puzzled, and kept wondering in his mind who in his family would be involved with this man.

There are not many people in the family and the family is simple, so the analysis can be done in no time.

Wu Xiaoliu hesitated for a moment and said, "It has something to do with your wife Qi San."

This is exactly what Du Wenxiu guessed.

She knew the origins of everyone in her family, but Qi Sanniang's experience was the most complicated.

But, she is her biological mother...

Du Wenxiu bit her lower lip and asked, "Qi Sanniang came home earlier and said she was alone and had no family."

"That's true. It is said that Qi Sanniang was a concubine of a merchant family. Because the eldest wife was jealous, she sold her to this man for two taels of silver." Wu Xiaoliu said.

"He was another gambler. Once, he lost everything and sold Qi Sanniang to someone else. But the other person had a Hedong lion, so he didn't dare to take her back and had to sell her to a trafficker on the spot."

"After many twists and turns, I finally came to your house. A few days ago, I heard someone talking about the opening of your restaurant and mentioned Qi Sanniang. I couldn't help but pay attention to it, so I came here to find you."

Du Wenxiu's face was stern, and he felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

Qi Sanniang had never left the house alone since she came home. Besides, after so many years, how many people knew her? Who spread the news about the family?

How could he follow the clues to find this gambler, pass the information to him, and influence him to come and look for Qi Sanniang?

I'm afraid someone is targeting me behind this.

I just don't know if this person is a business rival or if it's for some other reason...

Du Wenxiu's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Brother Wu, is this man still imprisoned in the county government office?"

Wu Xiaoliu nodded and roughly guessed what she was thinking.

As the saying goes, there are only thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.

This man has a ferocious face and doesn't look like a good person. He is also a gambler who could have sold Qi Sanniang away and then come back to find her.

I don’t know what An is thinking, but it’s definitely not a good thing.

Du Wenxiu thought for a while, and then made up his mind: "Brother Wu, you see, there are only women in this family, and Fang Hai's life and death are uncertain now..."

She took out her handkerchief and covered her eyes.
