Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Du Wenxiu also stopped what he was doing and sat down to think for a while. Everyone has an independent personality. If he is required to do things according to his own ideas, wouldn't he become a puppet? What's the point of living like a puppet?

Even though this is dangerous, it is something he is willing to do. How can I deprive him of the right to do what he likes under the banner of doing it for his own good?

"I know..." Du Wenxiu carefully chose his words and said slowly, "This is what you wanted to do. I shouldn't blame you. But next time before you do something like this, you should think about us. Don't just act on impulse and don't care about anything..."

Lu Fanghai was conflicted. On the one hand, he felt that Du Wenxiu was worried about him and was kind to him, but on the other hand, he could not control himself. If he had the chance to do it all over again, he believed that he would still follow the county lieutenant to fight the bandits without hesitation.

At this moment, she heard Du Wenxiu's tone softened, and looked at him with surprise. "Xiuniang, don't worry, since I followed the county lieutenant on the boat, I have the ability to protect myself. Back then, I was also one of the best fighters under General Wu..."

Before he could finish his words, Du Wenxiu's eyes pierced him. Only then did he realize that he had gotten carried away and that this was not the point.

Lu Fanghai chuckled, scratched his head and said, "I will be careful in the future and won't make you and Qiao'er worry."

After pacifying Du Wenxiu, the couple reached an agreement, and early in the morning, Lu Fanghai went to the county government office to find Fan Zhao.

The person on duty happened to be Wu Xiaoliu, the yamen runner who had fought with him that day. When he saw him coming, joy was overflowing on his face.

"Oh, I've heard that the county lieutenant wants to recruit you these days, but I never see you. I'm getting anxious."

Lu Fanghai chatted with him, but was a little puzzled as to why he was so close to him.

He didn't know that although there were only a few police officers in the police squad, they were divided into two factions. One faction was close to the county magistrate, but they were just empty-handed and only knew how to bully the people in the village.

The other group, like Wu Xiaoliu, admires the county lieutenant and follows him out to investigate cases every day, but they also have to worry about encountering a conflict with a strong man and being unable to defeat him.

That day, he saw that Lu Fanghai was very skilled in martial arts. If they became colleagues, his own martial arts value would increase greatly, and his sense of security would increase. He looked forward to his coming every day.

How can I not be happy to see you in the yamen today?

He took him to the clerk's office to go through the formalities, and then went to the warehouse to get clothes and weapons. At this time, the county lieutenant Fan Zhaocai arrived late.

Upon learning that Lu Fanghai had completed the recruitment process and was now an officer in the police squad, Fan Zhao was greatly relieved and kept praising Wu Xiaoliu for his good work.

They took Lu Fanghai to meet the county magistrate. Because they had greedily accepted Lu Fanghai's reward, the stingy county magistrate behaved very kindly, encouraged them with warm words, and then let them go.

When they returned to the duty room, the yamen runners who were on good terms with Wu Xiaoliu couldn't help but come up to join in the fun and urge Lu Fanghai to treat them to a drink. In the midst of the excitement, someone came to the county government to report that there was a fight in the south city and someone was going to die.

Without caring about laughing, Lu Fanghai quickly changed his clothes and rushed to the scene of the incident with everyone else.

When they arrived in South City and saw the parties involved in the fight, Lu Fanghai hid behind Wu Xiaoliu with a gloomy face and was unwilling to come forward.

However, the person who was being beaten saw him, and quickly crawled forward, pulled his arm, and cried about the injuries he had suffered.

Coincidentally, this person was Lu Fanghai's brother-in-law and Du Wenxiu's brother Du Wenshan.

Since we are all family, if our relatives are bullied, of course we should stand up for them.

However, Du Wenshan had spent the night drinking and partying, but was unable to pay the bill, so he was beaten. After learning the whole story, Lu Fanghai only regretted that he should not have followed him.

The yamen runners looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

This was not a good way to go. Lu Fanghai went to ask the madam for the night ferry fee, but was told two taels of silver. He did not have enough money on him, so on his first day at work he borrowed money from his colleagues to pay for his brother-in-law's night ferry fee. He felt quite ashamed and his face felt hot as if it was on fire.

Seeing that Lu Fanghai was willing to repay the night ferry fees for him, Du Wenshan was somewhat dissatisfied.

He followed the yamen runners in a nonchalant manner, constantly muttering to himself. Originally, the beating he received was enough to pay for the night's ferry fees in the brothel. Moreover, Lu Fanghai was wearing an official uniform, so he had every reason not to give it to them. He might even have to ask them to compensate for his medical expenses.

Who would have known that Lu Fanghai was so useless that he actually borrowed money to pay the bill and didn't even ask for medical expenses for himself. He is really unreliable.

The more Lu Fanghai listened, the darker his face became. He shook him off and strode to his colleague, ignoring him.

Seeing his attitude, Du Wenshan became even more dissatisfied. He put his hands in his sleeves, curled his lips, made a "tsk" sound, spat on the ground, then turned around and went home.

When he got home in the evening, Lu Fanghai told Du Wenxiu about this and was complained about again.

"Why do you care about him? If you let him be beaten to death, there will be one less scourge in the world. You even paid for him. This time it's two taels. Next time I ask you to pay two hundred taels, will you pay?"

Du Wenxiu was not heartbroken about the money, but she was annoyed that he had no principles. The last time she went back to her parents' home, she could already see that the Du family did not treat her as one of their own, so why was he so shamelessly sticking to them now?

Even if you spend money, you won't get any praise in return, so why bother?

Lu Fanghai went forward and hugged her, saying in a muffled voice: "I thought that he is your brother after all, and he recognized me. If I don't care, he will definitely come to bother you. I am not at home every day. If they come without caring about anything, how can you and Qiao'er resist?"

Du Wenxiu pushed him away and took out some silver from the cash box and gave it to him.

"Pay back the money you borrowed tomorrow. Next time you encounter something like this, don't do anything even if someone beats you to death. If they dare to make trouble, let them come. I won't be able to vent my anger unless I beat them out with a stick." Du Wenxiu said viciously.

Little did she know that this look of hers had a special charm in Lu Fanghai's eyes. He took the silver and put it on the table, then picked her up horizontally, and the two of them went into the house while laughing.

Not to mention that Lu Fanghai returned the money the next day and worked honestly in the yamen. This was because he was kind and amiable, had good relationships with people and was willing to help others. Although he was from the county lieutenant's faction, he had no conflict of interest with other people in the yamen and got along very harmoniously with them.

One day, a young man came into the duty room without saying hello and looked around. He seemed surprised to see him, but after a closer look, he seemed to recognize him.

"Hey, aren't you the hero who went to suppress the bandits that day?" the young man asked.

Lu Fanghai was concentrating on watching Wu Xiaoliu and Zhang Hai fighting crickets out of boredom. When he heard the conversation, he was startled.

I turned my head and looked up, and it looked familiar.

"Are you the warrior who helped me capture the dragon crossing the river that day?"

The young man laughed. "That's right, that's right, what a coincidence, you are also working here."

Wu Xiaoliu looked up and saw that it was him. He also smiled and said, "It is said that there is no coincidence in the world. It is not a coincidence that you two meet. It is your father, Master Fan, who personally invited him here."
