Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"I wanted to sneak away, but someone rushed towards me with a knife. How could I bear it?"

"I kicked that blind man to the ground. Now, several big men rushed over and fought with me."

Lu Dawei chuckled, picked up the wine bowl, and wanted to play with Lu Fanghai.

Lu Fanghai hurriedly stopped her, "Don't drink so quickly, be careful not to hurt your body, it's better to eat more vegetables."

Lu Dawei stiffened his neck and shouted, "Brother Lu is so stingy now, are you afraid that I will drink up all your wine?"

Lu Fanghai rolled his eyes at him, stopped talking to him, and filled his glass with wine.

"Brother Lu, even though my kung fu is not as good as yours, I can still defeat three thieves at once."

"Third brother was very smart and knew that I was a talented person. He stopped the others and asked me if I wanted to make a fortune with him."

Lu Dawei felt that drinking from the bowl was not enough, so he picked up the jar and poured it into his mouth. However, there was not much left in the jar and it was gone in just a few gulps.

"I figured that my family had all died, I had no marriage ties, and I had lost a life, so I just became a bandit."

"Now that I'm in your hands, since you've recognized my identity, just take me and claim the reward. I, Boss Lu, have always been a man."

Holding the wine bowl, the drunken Lu Dawei burped, squinted his eyes and approached Lu Fanghai and smiled:

"Brother Lu can take me anytime he wants, and I won't say a word. I'll take it if I fall into your hands!"

After saying that, he slammed the wine bowl on the table and stretched out his hands in front of Lu Fanghai.

Lu Fanghai stretched out his hand to block his arm, and Lu Dawei, who was already drunk, fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

There was a bang outside, followed by silence, and Du Wenxiu leaned out to take a look.

Lu Fanghai was eating his food by himself, while Lu Dawei was lying on the ground next to him, sleeping soundly.

"Fang Hai, what are you going to do..." Du Wenxiu asked softly.

Lu Fanghai waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

Du Wenxiu did not ask any more questions. Turning back, she saw Du Wenchan taking off her clothes just like she did, and said hurriedly:

"Don't tear it all down. It will be too troublesome. Just modify it according to Xiaohu's size."

Xiaohu stood there expressionlessly, watching Du Wenchan busying herself.

"Did you order my mother to be put in jail?"

Suddenly, Xiaohu said this faintly.

Du Wenxiu looked at him, but he turned sideways to face Du Wenxiu and did not turn his face around.

"Oh." Du Wenxiu sighed.

"Is that what you think? Yes, no matter what, it was because of our family that your mother was sent to jail."

Xiaohu looked up, and his cold eyes made Du Wenxiu's heart tremble.

"But your mother deserved it. She brought this upon herself."

Du Wenxiu was not afraid of him either, and stared at him without giving in.

Xiaohu gradually couldn't hold it anymore and looked away.

"My aunt beat me because my mother was arrested. She took my family's money but didn't support me," he whispered.

Du Wenxiu didn't know whether the child hated him or not, but now he felt a little regretful that he had said so easily that he wanted to keep him.

Hearing him say this, she pulled him over by the arm.

The skinny arms made her feel a little soft-hearted.

"Xiao Hu, your mother wanted to sell your sister to that filthy place, so your sister had to leave. You were at my house that day and saw it all, didn't you?"

Xiaohu nodded but said nothing.

"Your mother didn't get the money from selling your sister, so she hated our family. She happened to see Sister Qiao'er washing clothes by the river, so she pushed her into the river when no one was paying attention. She almost drowned. Did you know that?"

Du Wenxiu asked, but Xiaohu didn't move.

"No matter what time it is, killing someone means losing your life. Your mother must pay the price for her actions, so the villagers decided to hand her over to the authorities."

"She was guilty of a capital crime, and not being sentenced to immediate execution is a form of forgiveness. How can we blame others?"

Du Wenxiu lowered her head to look at Xiaohu who was hanging his head, and saw a tear falling from his eye, followed by one drop after another.

"But, what did she do? Why should she be punished on me?"

The tiger cub whimpered and growled softly.

Du Wenxiu reached out and patted his shoulder gently, then sighed.

"It's God's will. We have to bear the consequences that are not caused by our own actions. But it doesn't matter, Xiaohu."

She pulled Xiaohu and wiped his tears with a handkerchief, but the more she wiped, the more tears appeared, as if they would never stop.

This child has suffered so much injustice.

"You can follow us in the future. Although you can't live like you do at home, you will at least have enough food to eat and clothes to wear, and you won't suffer from hunger and cold."

"But you have to change your habit of stealing. We can't support such a petty thief in our family."

"It just depends on whether you are willing or not. If you hate us in your heart, it will be torture to keep you here. We won't force you."

Xiaohu looked up at Du Wenxiu, his eyes were tearful and no emotion could be seen in them.

"When my aunt scolded me, she always said that my mother was a black-hearted person... But she was good to me, and I couldn't join you in scolding her..."

Du Wenxiu sighed: "Your mother is your mother, and you are you. She has already suffered the bitter fruit she deserves, why are you still scolding her?"

Xiaohu just sobbed quietly and didn't say anything.

Du Wenchan looked at him with compassion, and for a moment she didn't know who was more pitiful, herself or him.

"Oh, they are just busy talking in the house, and no one is looking at the shop outside."

Du Wenxiu screamed, and Du Wenchan also said "Ouch", and hurriedly threw away the clothes in their hands and went out.

However, Lu Fanghai, who was drinking in the yard, and Lu Dawei, who was drunk on the ground, were nowhere to be seen. When he went to the shop, it was also empty.

"What a person! He didn't even say hello when he left."

Du Wenxiu muttered while asking Du Wenchan to clean up the table while he went to the front to look after the shop.

Not long after, Lu Fanghai came back and saw her moving the jars and rearranging them. He hurriedly took them and asked her to stop.

"This pregnancy was not easy to come by, so you should be careful and take a good rest."

"I'm not that delicate at all." Du Wenxiu said with a smile, but his hands still stopped.

"Where did you go just now? You disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Lu Fanghai pondered for a moment, then pulled her to the inner courtyard and said, "The man who came to my house to drink earlier was my brother who returned home with me. He fought in many battles when he joined the army and looted some spoils."

"I originally left them all with him, thinking that he had a wide network of contacts and would be easy to sell. We agreed that I would go find him after I got home and settled down, and we would split the money equally."

"One thing after another, I didn't have time to pay attention. Today when I ran into him on the street, I found out that his family had been through a lot and that he had spent some money."

"Well, if you want to spend it, then spend it. Since you gave it to him in exchange for money, you must have a life-long friendship with him, and his character should be reliable. He spent it without your consent, so he must have had his reasons."

Du Wenxiu comforted him.

"Hehe, the one who knows me best is Xiuniang." Lu Fanghai joked with her, but got a roll of the eyes in return.

"However, he heard that my family had a debt to pay, so he collected some money for me."

As he spoke, Lu Fanghai handed a bag of silver to Du Wenxiu.
