Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Du Wenchan pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "I have come to terms with it now. It's not like I am willing to be a lowly person. Why should I avoid people and be afraid of being found out when they can do it?"

Du Wenxiu clapped his hands and said with a smile, "That's right. They are the ones who did something wrong, not us. Why should we avoid talking about this?"

However, A Luo still had a thorn in his heart, and he only allowed them to talk about it at home, but not mention it outside.

She was doing this as a mother, so there was no reason for Du Wenxiu and her sister to make her unhappy because of this, so she just agreed.

A few days later, the Du sisters, who were gossiping in the courtyard, heard a noisy noise outside the door and got up to see.

A Luo walked out of the kitchen, stopped them to sit down, took off his apron and went out to take a look first.

Du Wenchan was worried, so she followed behind. Du Wenxiu couldn't sit still either, so they went out together.

There was a crowd of women outside the farm. The leader was a young woman who was well-dressed and had a fair face, but she looked a bit mean and cruel.

She was yelling dirty words and pushing Old Wu towards the farmyard.

Old Wu was already thin and frail, and he was unable to stand steadily. His wife was crying anxiously, and the group of women became more and more arrogant.

"Where is that little vixen? Call her out so I can see her. She's relying on her looks to seduce men. If she wants men so badly, why doesn't she go sell herself in a brothel?"

Seeing her behavior, Du Wenxiu guessed her origins. She was none other than Aunt Liu from the Zhu family.

Seeing the maidservant whom he had met a few days ago standing behind him, he felt more confident.

Du Wenchan was so angry that her face turned red, but she couldn't talk nonsense like Aunt Liu, and tears welled up in her eyes.

A'Luo was furious. What mother could remain indifferent when hearing someone insulting her daughter like this?

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm going to fight you!" At that moment, A Luo suddenly found strength from nowhere, pulled Old Wu away, and rushed towards Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu first looked at the three of them, each one weaker than the other, and didn't take them seriously. Unexpectedly, she rushed towards her like a madman and knocked Aunt Liu backward.

"Oh, are you crazy? You even dare to hit me?" Madam Liu was helped up by the maid, her eyebrows raised, she rolled up her sleeves and came towards A'luo with a fierce look.

At this moment, A Luo was just living up to the saying: The first push is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted.

After lowering his head and bumping into her, A Luo felt a little disappointed when he saw Aunt Liu fall to the ground. Then, when he saw her walking towards him viciously, his face turned pale immediately.

Aunt Liu took a few steps forward and reached out to grab A'luo's collar, but unexpectedly a leg stretched out from the side and kicked Aunt Liu's shoulder hard, knocking her to the ground again.

The maids nearby saw clearly that it was Du Wenxiu who helped Du Wenchan kick over Aunt Liu, and they came up shouting in panic and surrounded Du Wenxiu and her sisters.

Du Wenxiu shouted loudly: "How dare you break into a private house and want to beat up my people? You are a rebellion."

Seeing how imposing she was, the maids were actually frightened for a moment.

"Why are you afraid of her? She's just a few weak girls, and you were scared by just one sentence. Don't go out with me in the future."

Aunt Liu got up from the ground and rubbed her kicked shoulder. She felt very painful and was afraid that there was a bruise inside.

After she said that, the maids were ready to make a move again. Du Wenxiu sneered and shouted loudly:

"Let me teach you that my family is not like yours. My husband works in the county government, and my father-in-law is the county lieutenant. Do you dare to touch me? I promise you will pay me back a hundredfold. If you are in trouble, don't come to me."

The prevailing custom at that time was that the people should not fight against the officials. The gate of the government office faced south and people were not allowed to come in if they had no money but a reason.

Although the Zhu family was rich and had relatives who were officials, they could not stand up to the only child in the Zhu family. They were reluctant to let him suffer the hardship of studying and only wanted him to stay at home, raise children, and live happily and peacefully.

She never took any imperial examination. No matter how powerful Aunt Liu was outside, she was only relying on her shamelessness and the wealth of the Zhu family.

Moreover, Young Master Zhu didn't know the young ladies who were being proposed for marriage at all. He beat and scolded them, bullied them, and put them under house arrest for a few days. The Zhu family went to their homes and spent money to appease them.

Even if the maidservant who had gone with them cried and complained that it was her aunt who forced her to do so, the matter would have been brushed aside.

Little did I know that I would hit a wall this time and get into trouble with a tough guy.

The maids looked at each other, not daring to move for a moment.

Aunt Liu was so angry that she fell backwards. She threw away the maid who was supporting her and rushed forward herself, reaching out to grab Du Wenxiu's face.

Du Wenchan was frightened and tried to pull Du Wenxiu behind her, but she couldn't move him.

In a hurry, Du Wenchan closed her eyes and rushed forward to stand in front of Du Wenxiu.

But I didn't feel anyone calling me, I just heard a loud shout: "Stop!"

There was a sudden silence all around.

Du Wenchan quietly opened her eyes and saw a burly man holding Aunt Liu's raised arm.

It was that Young Master Zhu.

Aunt Liu turned pale at this moment and stammered as she tried to explain herself, but Master Zhu had a sullen face and didn't listen, pushing her back to the maids.

"Take my aunt home and lock her up in the yard. If anyone dares to let her out secretly, the whole family will pack up and leave."

The maids nodded in agreement and, ignoring Madam Liu's struggle, pulled her out the door.

Young Master Zhu here had a guilty look on his face. He bowed deeply to Du Wenxiu and nodded without saying a word.

"Master Zhu has a really good family tradition. A mere concubine can come to fight with the neighbors. May I ask Master Zhu, did my Lu family occupy your land or destroy your land? It is not worth it to come here with such a big fanfare and bring the maids to fight with you."

Du Wenxiu was so angry that he couldn't feel better unless he expressed it.

This guy is really annoying. His own backyard is such a mess, but he still sends a matchmaker to propose marriage. Isn't this harming other girls?

Young Master Zhu's face flushed red, and he just kept bowing. After a long while, he managed to utter a few words: "I will punish the child strictly when I get home. Madam Du is frightened. I will come to your house to apologize someday."

After saying that, without waiting for Du Wenxiu's reaction, he turned around and left.

Watching his hurried back disappearing at the door in the blink of an eye, Du Wenxiu took a deep breath and suppressed his unhappiness.

"The Zhu family is too unruly. We need to be careful about the marriage."

A Luo also nodded quietly. With such a wicked woman at home, it was no wonder that Young Master Zhu couldn't find a wife despite his huge wealth.

I also went to check on Old Wu who was pushed, wondering if he was injured.

Old Wu shook off the old woman who was wiping her tears and said angrily, "Just relying on those few people, I am old now. If it was in the past, I would never let them get close to me."

Several people laughed when they heard this. Du Wenxiu said to him, "Next time you encounter something like this, you should take care of your own safety first and don't suffer any loss."

Old Wu opened his toothless mouth and laughed, "All the ladies are inside. How can I let them in? Even if I have to sacrifice my old bones, I will guard the door of our house."
