The princess is farming with her baby, daddy, come find me soon

After watching them follow Xiao Liu, Xu Bo turned his gaze to Gu Manzhu.

"Miss Manzhu, what do you think of these people?"

"I think you made a good choice, Uncle Xu. These people seem to be simple-minded and loyal. Their eyes are firm and unwavering."

"That's good. I'm just afraid that you won't be satisfied with what I chose."

"How could that be? Uncle Xu, I trust you the most. These people are enough. If they are not enough, we can just buy more."

"Uncle Xu, please sit down. Don't stand all the time."

Uncle Xu lifted up his coat and sat down.

Gu Manzhu handed the brewed tea to Xu Bo.

"Uncle Xu, have a sip of hot tea. I'm thinking that when the medicinal herbs are planted at the end of September, I'll divide them into two groups to guard the medicinal fields."

Xu Bo was very puzzled. "Two groups? Miss Manzhu, the fields are in all four villages, why are they divided into two groups?"

"Speaking of this, Uncle Xu, I want to live in the courtyard of Shangshan Village when the time comes, and I will personally guard the fields of Shangshan Village."

Just as Xu Bo was about to bring the tea to his mouth, he paused for a few seconds before taking a few sips of the tea.

He put the teacup down, cleared his throat, and then asked.

"Miss Manzhu, don't you live in this house? The living conditions in Shangshan Village are not as good as here. You can live here and send someone to take care of the fields in Shangshan Village. Why do you have to guard them yourself?"

Gu Manzhu smiled at Xu Bo embarrassedly: "Xu Bo, this is your master's house. I am embarrassed to live here all the time. I am penniless now, and the land also belongs to your master. I will borrow it now. When I make money, I will buy a house and land by myself."

Xu Bo was very surprised when he heard this. He originally thought that Gu Manzhu was someone who took advantage of the opportunity to get close to her master, but he didn't expect that she was so kind.

"When the master left, he said that he would meet all your needs, so you can accept it without worry."

Gu Manzhu sighed softly. No one can be relied on. Only relying on oneself is the right thing to do.

"Oh, Uncle Xu, I've made up my mind. Let's plant the herbs in the field first."

After hearing this, Xu Bo stopped trying to persuade him.

A few more days passed.

Gu Manzhu got up early in the morning to do morning exercises. Her body was not in good condition now. She would be out of breath after walking a few steps.

Exercise keeps me healthy!

"Ha~ Huh~" Gu Manzhu retracted her outstretched arms, took a deep breath, turned around and saw Xiao Chu standing next to the pillar.

He raised his eyebrows: "You want to exercise too?"

Xiao Chu's heart choked, and his spirit also wanted to exercise.

He pursed his lips and organized his words.

"Um, I..."

"Huh?" Gu Manzhu looked at the conflicted boy in front of her with confusion.

Xiao Chu's heart was beating fast. Before, people had been so kind as to say that they could redeem him, but now he wanted to keep him. This was just a slap in his face.

"I want to ask, can I not redeem myself and stay here forever?"

Gu Manzhu looked at the boy's restrained look and called him to come and sit down at the stone table.

"Here, this is the cake Xiao Liu made this morning."

Xiao Chu took the cake handed to him by Gu Manzhu and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Gu Manzhu didn't care what he thought. She was starving to death. Her stomach had been almost bursting since she got up.

I ate the cake bite by bite. Wow, Xiao Liu's cooking skills are so good. The cake is so delicious.

"Eat, why are you looking at me? Food is the most important thing for people. Eat until you are full first."

Xiao Chu watched Gu Manzhu eat the cakes one after another before he took a bite of the cake in his hand.

"Uh~I'm so full."

Gu Manzhu finished the last cake and drank a cup of tea before looking at Xiao Chu seriously.

Based on her observations over the past few days, his identity was definitely not simple. She was already extremely poor, and keeping a time bomb around her was definitely not a good thing.

"I feel that my small courtyard cannot accommodate a great Buddha like you. Pay off your debt, redeem yourself, and go wherever you want. Why insist on staying here?"

"I, Miss Manzhu, was wrong about you before. I beg you to keep me."

"I don't have anything good to keep you here. You must be someone extraordinary!"

After hearing this, Xiao Chu suddenly stood up and knelt down.

"Miss Manzhu, I can't choose my identity. If I could choose, I would definitely choose to reincarnate into an ordinary family. Now I have left. I am who I am, and it has nothing to do with my previous identity."

Seeing Xiao Chu kneeling in front of her while enduring the pain, Gu Manzhu still refused to let go.

"You left, but your parents' blood is still in your body, and I can't give it up no matter what. If someone comes to hunt me down in the future, I'll be asking for trouble."

Xiao Chu said sadly: "No, they thought I was dead. I belong to myself now. There won't be any trouble anymore."

"But how can I believe you? I don't even know who you are now, so how can I believe what you say?"

After hearing this, Xiao Chu raised three fingers to the sky and said, "I, Xiao Chu, swear that everything I said is true. If anything happens in the future that will bring trouble to Miss Manzhu, I will have no descendants and will die a miserable death!"

Gu Manzhu's charming eyes narrowed slightly.

"Okay, then you stay. What can you do?"

Xiao Chu couldn't believe that he could stay so easily. He was speechless for a moment and hadn't come to his senses yet.

"Stand up, don't kneel down, what can you do?"

Xiao Chu took a deep breath, then stood up with trembling legs, holding onto the stone bench.

"I have been learning martial arts since I was a child, and my martial arts skills are pretty good."

Gu Manzhu blinked her eyes and said, "You have good martial arts skills, not bad, it's just that you are short of a guard."

"Ahem~ Then you stay with me and be responsible for my safety."

"Stay by your side???"

"What? You don't want to?" Gu Manzhu's face turned serious.

Xiao Chu shook his head like a rattle. "No, I do. It's my honor."

"Well, then you should take good care of your health. I don't want the time when you can't protect me and need me to protect you."

Gu Manzhu said to Xiao Chu with a smile.

Xiao Chu's heart choked. He couldn't imagine that scene. It was such a great humiliation.

"Okay, go back and lie down. Your legs are shaking like noodles."

"Yes." Xiao Chu's face turned red and she returned to where she had lived for the past two days in shame.

Not long after returning to the house, Xiao Liu came in with breakfast.

"Huh? Where did you go? I came in and saw you weren't there."

Xiao Chu returned to his expressionless face, as if he was not the one who blushed just now.

Hmm??? He's not talking again, what a weirdo, Xiao Liu muttered to himself.

"It's time to have breakfast. After breakfast, you have to take medicine. How do you feel today? Are you feeling better?"

Xiao Liu put breakfast on the table as he spoke.

Xiao Chu looked at Xiao Liu, who was wearing simple clothes, had two buns on her hair and was chattering all the time, and he felt a moment of warmth in his heart.

It has been a long time since anyone cared about him so much. From now on, he should be able to consider this place as his "home".

Suddenly he thought of something and his eyes darkened.

"Yeah, I feel better now, thank you."

Xiao Liu was so shocked when he suddenly heard his answer that he almost dropped the bowl.

"Ah, you actually replied to me. If I hadn't heard you speak that day, I would have thought you were a mute."

Xiao Chu silently picked up the bowl and chopsticks to eat without replying.
