Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Too dangerous.

"Otherwise, you should talk to the county lieutenant and see what he says." Du Wenxiu suggested to him.

Lu Fanghai nodded and laughed:

"Of course, the county lieutenant has to make the decision. I've also told them that I don't have the final say."

Du Wenxiu added: "If the county lieutenant also feels that it is inappropriate, you must not insist..."

"I'm afraid the county lieutenant doesn't have this opportunity, so why would he think it's inappropriate?"

Du Wenxiu couldn't help feeling annoyed again.

"Xiuniang, I know you are worried about me. But someone has to do these things to keep the area safe."

"I can't argue with you, so you make your own decision."

After saying this, Du Wenxiu went out to the shop. Lu Fanghai shook his head and smiled bitterly.

When he went out to the county government office, Du Wenxiu just turned her head away and ignored him.

As he said, some things have to be done by someone.

He also knew that Du Wenxiu was just worried about him, but was not trying to stop him from doing this.

Since he had already made an agreement with the third in command, he went straight to the county government office to find Fan Zhao and forced him to go to the lakeside to admire the lotus.

Fan Zhao scolded him: "What's the point of admiring lotus at this time of year? They are just dead branches and leaves."

He was helpless against Lu Fanghai's great strength, unable to struggle, and was dragged out by him.

When they arrived at the pavilion in the middle of the lake, surrounded by water, Lu Fanghai bowed to Fan Zhao and even apologized for his impoliteness.

Fan Zhao patted his wrinkled official uniform and said solemnly:

"What's so important that you come here to talk?"

Lu Fanghai smiled shyly and said, "Of course, something very important has happened, but I don't know if the county lieutenant is willing to intervene."

Fan Zhao glanced at him and said, "Humph, if you have something to say, just say it. If you have to fart, fart quickly."

"Oh, the county lieutenant is so rude now." Lu Fanghai said jokingly with a look of surprise.

Fan Zhao was so angry that he raised his foot to kick him, but he dodged.

He came closer with a grin on his face and asked, "I wonder if the county lieutenant is interested in clearing out Qinglong Village?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Zhao became interested.

"What's your trick?"

Lu Fanghai smiled, leaned close to Fan Zhao's ear, and said something like this.

After hearing a few words, Fan Zhao frowned. After he finished speaking, he stepped back a few steps, leaving Fan Zhao to think on his own.

Fan Zhao thought for a moment, then looked up at him and said, "This is the pavilion in the middle of the lake. No one can hear you even if you speak loudly. Why are you still whispering in my ear? What's wrong with you?"

Lu Fanghai ignored his complaints, his eyes sparkling.

"What does Mr. Fan mean?"

Fan Zhao coughed dryly and said in a deep voice, "Go and tell the person in charge to arrange a time. I want to go and discuss this matter in person. If you don't dare, forget it."

Lu Fanghai frowned slightly. He was not sure whether they were willing to discuss the matter with Fan Zhao.

He was also afraid that this was a trap set by Fan Zhao so that he could catch the turtle in the jar.

——If we can’t catch the first and second in command, catching the third in command would be a great achievement.

But he also knew that if he didn't do as Fan Zhao said, this matter would not be accomplished. Without mutual trust, how could they work together?

He nodded, bowed to Fan Zhao, turned around and left.

Fan Zhaozi paced in a square gait behind him and slowly returned to the county government office.

Today, when Lu Dawei and Shi Qiwen went to the Lu family shop, they both avoided people. When Lu Fanghai found a place to discuss things with them, he was also very cautious.

They were afraid that something might go wrong if spies saw the close dealings between the two sides, so now they decided to cooperate, which showed that they had thought it through before.

Lu Fang went to Jishiditang on the sea and said loudly that he wanted to get some nourishing medicine for his wife, but was reprimanded by Doctor Wang with a cold face.

As the saying goes, some medicines are poisonous. Madam Du is fine and doesn't need to take medicine. If you want, you might as well give her more good food.

Lu Fanghai was scolded, but he didn't get angry. He happily went to buy some meat and went home.

He handed the piece of meat in his hand to Du Wenchan to cook, and went home to talk to Du Wenxiu, but she was still angry and was given the cold shoulder again.

There was nothing to do before dinner, so I called Xiaohu and asked him what his plans were. Xiaohu secretly glanced at Du Wenxiu and lowered his head.

"Mrs. Du said that if I want to stay, I can stay..."

"Would you like to stay at my house?"

Lu Fanghai originally thought that Du Wenxiu would send him to Yulan. After all, his mother, Lu, was imprisoned for harming the Lu family.

Aren't you afraid of becoming a nuisance if you stay at home?

I don’t know what Du Wenxiu thinks, but Lu Fanghai feels that this is inappropriate.

Only a person who commits a thousand days will be a thief, but a thousand days will not prevent him from being a thief.

He tried his best to appear kind and said to Xiaohu:

"Of course you can stay if you want, but it's not appropriate for you to stay in my house right now."

Xiaohu was shocked. How come there are two heads of this family?

You coaxed me to stay first, and now you want to drive me away?

He quickly turned around to look at Du Wenxiu, but Lu Fanghai spoke in a low voice. Du Wenxiu was angry with him and didn't listen to what he said seriously, but he didn't turn around.

Lu Fanghai was a little unhappy. When he heard that he couldn't stay, he turned to look at Du Wenxiu. What did this mean?

Xiaohu noticed that he was unhappy, and lowered his head and stammered:

"I eat very little... I don't need new clothes, I can work, and I'm very strong..."

At the end, perhaps remembering the hardships he had endured before, his voice trembled a little.

It’s just that men are naturally harder-hearted than women, and with Du Wenxiu pregnant, he didn’t want any hidden dangers at home.

Du Wenxiu heard Xiaohu talking with a tearful tone, turned around, and saw Lu Fanghai saying something to him with a smile.

I guess you are recalling the difficulties you experienced in the past?

Then he turned around and continued to alter Xiaohu's clothes.

At another moment, Xiaohu was heard crying and begging:

"I won't, I won't, sister-in-law has made it clear to me today, I won't..."

Du Wenxiu felt something was wrong, dropped the clothes in his hands, stood up, and came over to ask what was going on.

Xiaohu was afraid of Lu Fanghai. He rubbed his eyes which were filled with tears and just cried without saying a word.

Lu Fanghai looked at him coldly.

Du Wenxiu stepped forward and pulled Xiaohu, saying softly, "What did Brother Fang Hai tell you? Tell me, if he bullies you, I will take care of it for you."

Xiaohu didn't dare to say it.

Lu Fanghai did not give him the chance to arouse Du Wenxiu's sympathy, and said coldly: "He has a sister in the county town, why should he live in our house? Why not send him to Yulan and let her take care of him."

As soon as Du Wenxiu heard this, she knew what Lu Fanghai was thinking. He was doing this for his own good and was afraid that his softness would bring him trouble in the end.

Originally, I thought that since Yulan was having a mistress, it would be inconvenient for her to bring Xiaohu with her. But now that Lu Fanghai had brought it up, I couldn't insist on keeping him.

If something really happens, just regretting it will be of no use.

"Xiao Hu, be obedient. Your sister Yulan is also in Dongxing County, and she lives better than us. If you go to her place, you will have no worries about food and clothing, and you don't have to work."

Xiao Hu looked at her and pursed his lips: "But my mother is going to sell her off, she definitely doesn't want to see me."

Du Wenxiu took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes and nose, and said softly:

"After all, you and she are born of the same mother. We have to ask her whether she is willing or not. If she is not willing, you can stay at my house. Don't be afraid. A real man should not shed tears."
