Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Du Wenxiu sat with her and cried for a while, then Yue Niang raised her head.

"I've thought about it. Qiu Yong doesn't treat me like Brother Lu treats you. Whenever I have a dispute with my mother-in-law, he will definitely blame me."

"I can't be that kind of wife who gives in to grievances. I did that yesterday and made a scene again when I got home. I was planning to come here alone today."

Yue Niang's voice gradually lowered: "But he kept following me. Actually, I have thought of a way to solve it, but I can't just bow my head and let her rub me."

"Then do you have any idea?" Du Wenxiu asked with concern.

Yue Niang nodded gently, sniffed, and then said, "I asked the daughters-in-law in the workshop to keep an eye on them. If anyone is willing to work, they can get two meals a day and live at home. They only need to take care of my mother-in-law's daily life. I will pay them one hundred coins a month."

"Well, that's a good idea." Du Wenxiu nodded: "Then find someone quickly to get you out of here, so that you can focus on the workshop."

Du Wenxiu teased Yue Niang, who rolled her eyes at him and said, "You've really become Du Baopi. Do you want to go outside my house every morning and imitate the crowing of a rooster?"

Du Wenxiu laughed and said, "That's impossible. Qiu Yong will hit me with a carrying pole, right?"

Yue Niang refused and pretended to hit her, the two of them laughed and joked, and the news spread outside, so A Luo and Du Wenchan were relieved.

Just now, A Luo wanted to come in and ask what to eat for lunch. When he walked to the door, he heard Yue Niang's suppressed crying, so he turned around and retreated, and stopped Du Wenchan from coming in.

The two of them cooked with the ingredients available in the kitchen, and when they heard that they seemed ready, they brought the food over.

"Look, you've skipped cooking, you lazy woman." Du Wenxiu poked Yue Niang lightly and teased.

Yue Niang pretended to be angry and said angrily: "I am a guest when I come to your house. It is unreasonable to let guests cook. You are the only one who likes to bully others."

Although he didn't know what had happened just now, seeing that the two of them were fine, A Luo didn't say much, just watched with a smile.

Du Wenchan helped to place the dishes on the table and asked in confusion, "Why hasn't Brother Qiu Yong come to eat yet?"

Yue Niang said hurriedly, "He is going home to cook for me today and he is not with us. Don't bother with him."

"Men like Brother Qiu Yong are rare. Many men think that women should cook, regardless of whether it is tiring working outside." Du Wenchan sighed.

Yue Niang glanced at her, smiled and said nothing.

A Luo sensed a strange atmosphere and tugged at the corner of his daughter's clothes.

Du Wenchan didn't understand what was going on, but she still changed the subject, talking about Aunt Liu who came to cause trouble, and Young Master Zhu who came later.

Yue Niang looked at her with a slightly raised corner of her mouth, which made Du Wenchan blush.

"Sister Qiu, please don't look at me like that. It's embarrassing." Du Wenchan protested.

Yue Niang laughed and said, "I thought it was not right to mention this matter in front of you, but you brought it up yourself."

Du Wenchan smiled and served soup to the three of them one by one, saying:

"Why can't we mention it? Anyway, we weren't the ones who did those shameful things, so why should we be afraid of rumors?"

"That's right, that's how you should think. You can't let yourself be depressed because of what people say." After hearing Du Wenchan's words, Yue Niang affirmed.

Du Wenxiu and A Luo looked at each other and smiled. They finally found their soulmate.

Yue Niang and Du Wenchan chatted happily with each other. After a while, Qiu Yong became a baby who had not been weaned, and Master Zhu was classified as a big pervert.

Hearing them talking more and more outrageously, Du Wenxiu had no choice but to speak up and say, "Don't talk while eating, don't talk while sleeping. If you two don't eat, the food will get cold."

The two of them stopped talking, but Yue Niang was still very unconvinced: "There are not so many rules for farmers, but you are following them as if they were an imperial decree."

After the meal, they cleared the table and poured hot tea. A Luo and Du Wenchan took the tailored clothes to work.

Du Wenxiu wanted to lend a hand but was refused on the grounds that she had a child and needed less needlework.

Du Wenxiu smiled helplessly and had to give up.

"Those who know I'm pregnant think I'm a bit of a nobody. Those who don't know think I'm just a bit of a nobody. I just eat and sleep at home all day long. I'm more comfortable than the pigs in the pen."

Du Wenxiu said self-deprecatingly that A'luo thought what she said was not nice, so he pulled her and insisted on making a few "Pooh" sounds, and then he would not stop until she followed his lead.

Yue Niang picked up the small clothes made by the mother and daughter, and an envious look inadvertently flashed in her eyes.

"Is this embroidered by Chan'er? It's so delicate and exquisite." The bright red bellyband is embroidered with a pattern of "Continuous Birth of Sons and Daughters". The color combination is bright, the stitching is fine, and it looks vivid.

Du Wenchan smiled, took the bellyband, took a look at it, and said, "When I was at home, I only learned some embroidery skills to earn some money for the family. But later I found the needle and thread too expensive, so I stopped doing it."

"They are all miserable people." Yue Niang stopped smiling and sighed softly.

But Du Wenxiu shouted: "You can suffer, but don't drag us down with you. Our hard times are over, and we will have good days ahead."

Yue Niang's low mood was mostly relieved by her shouting, and she smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it will be a good life in the future. Our workshop has just started to make money, so it will be a good life in the future."

After dinner, they sat for a while and Qiu Yong came to pick them up, saying that the woman in the workshop was looking for Yue Niang.

Thinking that she now had a competitor again, Yue Niang did not dare to delay any longer. She hurriedly told Du Wenxiu to take good care of herself, and then went back with Qiu Yong.

It was cool at night, so A Luo and Du Wenxiu added another quilt. Even with two quilts, Du Wenxiu still felt not warm enough.

It would be great if Lu Fanghai was at home. When winter comes, he would be like a hot hand warmer, curing Du Wenxiu's fear of cold.

During these days, no one knew where he had been, or whether what he had done was dangerous or not.

Early the next morning, there was a loud knock on the farm gate, waking everyone up.

Du Wenxiu quickly put on her clothes, slipped on her slippers and went out, fearing that it was Aunt Liu who brought people to make trouble again.

This time, she would not tolerate the woman's trouble again. No matter whether she was in Taohua Village or somewhere else, she would pay some money to teach her a lesson.

He was furious in his heart and his expression was no longer gentle. He walked over with a ferocious look and saw that it was the person he had been thinking about day and night who had returned home.

Lu Fanghai was covered in dust, his beard was unkempt, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were swollen. It seemed that he hadn't slept well for several days.

Du Wenxiu's eyes turned red, and Lu Fanghai said hurriedly: "Don't worry, my lady, I was just in a hurry to go home, and I was in a hurry on the way, so I looked like this."

As he spoke, he pulled out Xiaohu who was behind him. He looked almost the same as him and was drowsy.

"Child, tell your sister-in-law that we are not in any danger. We are just in a hurry."

Xiaohu looked up at Du Wenxiu, his mouth pursed, and he looked like he was about to cry.
