Shen Wu instantly thought of that afternoon when she was forced into a corner and her face turned red.

"You also said that when you asked me that, I couldn't think of anything else except you."

Lu Xuan...

Looking at her little face, the corners of his mouth inexplicably curled up slightly, but it quickly disappeared.

His eyes fixed on her: "Now, do you remember it?"

Shen Wu suddenly remembered that this Zhou Zhiqing also existed in the novel. He was an educated youth who went to the countryside from a big city. He was interested in "her" and was attracted by her beauty. He pestered "her" for a long time.

When "she" reached the marriageable age, the Shen family wanted to sell her for a high price. Since Zhou Zhiqing was willing, the Shen family had no objection, but they demanded a dowry of 40 yuan. Zhou Huai wrote a letter to his parents in the city, saying that the Zhou family did not want their son to marry a rural girl in the countryside, let alone a dowry of 40 yuan, not even 4 yuan.

The Shen family asked for money, but the Zhou family looked down on the rural girl and refused to give them any money.

Zhou Huai took leave again to visit his relatives.

Just at this time, a matchmaker came to introduce her to Lu Xuan. The Lu family was willing to pay fifty yuan, and the Shen family agreed without even thinking about it.

As for Shen Wu's thoughts, no one asked her, whether it was Zhou Huai, the Lu family, or the Shen family itself.

Knowing that this man was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Shen Wu picked out some of the details and told him: "That's all. There's nothing more to it."

Lu Xuan is from the village.

Adults looked down on those educated youth who talked about knowledge all the time and could not work, but many young people in the village liked them.

Some are willing to break up with their families in order to marry educated men.

Although the man just now was thin, he had a good appearance and was obviously a scholar from the city.

Lu Xuan kicked the dirt on the road and said, "He likes you. What about you? Have you ever liked him?"

Shen Wu looked at him.

Leaning closer to him: "Are you jealous?"

Lu Xuan frowned: "Will I be jealous of him?"

"You know whether I am jealous or not."

At this time, a donkey cart saw Shen Wu and Lu Xuan from a distance and called out: "Lu Xuan!"

"Are you going back to the village?"

Lu Xuan: "Yes."

The old man driving the cart waited for them to get on and said, "The weather is a bit hot. In the early years, some educated youth who had just gone to the countryside fainted on the ground."

It seems that the news of my fainting has spread throughout the village.

Shen Wu smiled awkwardly.

Lu Xuan chatted with the old man about things in the fields from time to time. Shen Wu didn't know, so she didn't say anything. She sat on the ox cart, holding Lu Xuan's hand, and drawing circles on his palm with her fingers.

Taking the time to whisper, "I don't like him, Third Brother, I still like you."

The donkey cart ran over an uneven surface and shook.

Something seemed to explode in Lu Xuan's mind, and he held her restless fingers tightly with his backhand.

When the donkey cart arrived at Lu’s house.

Shen Wu asked the old man to wait for a moment, but the old man was confused and thought that she had something to do.

Shen Wu grabbed a few White Rabbit candies and said, "I'll give these to the younger generation when I get home."

Sugar is a good thing, and White Rabbit Milk Candy is even better. Most farmers are reluctant to buy it, and the old man will even refuse it.

"If you hadn't happened to be passing by, my third brother and I would have been waiting, so please don't refuse."

The old man smiled when he heard this and said to Lu Xuan: "You, my wife, are too polite."

But after receiving the candy, she was still happy. Lu Xuan's wife is not good at work, but she knows how to behave.

She is worthy of being Lu Xuan’s wife.

As soon as the old man left, Shen Wu turned around and saw a pair of eyes staring at her in the yard.

Stare at her quietly.

Although calm, people are already getting angry.

Shen Wu smiled: "Mom."

Old Lady Lu was like a firecracker that exploded with a fuse: "You... you can't do the work! You didn't get any work points, and you also caused the third child to delay his work."

"He was hospitalized!"

“It still costs money!”

"You are not allowed to eat today!"

Shen Wu said: "Mom, if I don't eat, I will get sick again and have to go to the hospital, which will cost money."

Old Mrs. Lu almost fainted from anger.

My heart aches, my stomach aches, and my whole body aches.

"Oh, I'm not marrying a daughter-in-law, I'm marrying a disaster..." As he said this, he sat down on the ground, rolling around like a tantrum.

Lu Xuan frowned and looked at Shen Wu: "Go back to your room and rest first."

After suffering from heatstroke, she felt dizzy and had stomach discomfort. It felt like something was stuck in her throat and she wanted to vomit but couldn't. Shen Wu didn't have the energy to argue with Old Lady Lu.

He nodded and went into the house.

Mrs. Lu became even angrier when she saw this, and all her anger was directed at Lu Xuan: "You are just spoiling her!"

……

Lu Xuan silently helped the man up.

When Old Lady Lu's daughter-in-law really left, she didn't sit on the ground anymore. Instead, she stood up and started to scold Lu Xuan about how difficult it was to raise him, and how he had forgotten his mother now that he had a wife.

One knows his own mother well. Lu Xuan said in a calm tone, "So, mother, do you think I should treat her badly?"

"She said that if I treat her badly, she won't live with me."

Mrs. Lu’s crying stopped abruptly: “She dares!”

Thinking about Shen Wu's appearance again, she seemed really daring!

She looks like a vixen. If she really leaves her son, she won't have trouble finding a husband...

Old Mrs. Lu felt very anxious for a moment.

Shen Wu returned to the room and half-lay on the bed to rest.

Not long after, Lu Xuan came back.

Shen Wu propped up her chin and looked at Lu Xuan: "Third brother."

Lu Xuan was cleaning the house. Hearing this, he looked at her and said, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Shen Wu nodded and shook her head.

Lu Xuan peeled a piece of candy for her and handed it to her mouth.

Shen Wu felt that he was just like coaxing a child.

But she was enjoying the candy. "I was thinking, we haven't separated yet, and it will take a while for school to start. If I just cook at home, will my family have any complaints?"

Shen Wu herself had never done any farm work. It was her first time working in the fields. Not only was she mentally exhausted, her body couldn't bear it either. Heatstroke was also something she couldn't control. Now this incident seemed like she had made a big mistake.

This kind of big family is actually quite uncomfortable for Shen Wu, who was used to living alone in her previous life. What was originally a matter for one person or a young couple now involves the whole family.

Lu Xuan said: "Don't worry about this, I will take care of it."

Shen Wu held her chin in her hand and stared at him eagerly: "Third brother, I don't want you to be unhappy with your family because of me."

If they were not her relatives, she would have no scruples, but these were Lu Xuan’s relatives, okay? They probably didn’t want to hear her say bad things about her relatives.

Lu Xuan felt as if a warm current was flowing through his heart.

He couldn't help but pinch her face and said, "We can't be so fussy about family matters. If we really were to be so fussy, even if you don't go to the fields, we wouldn't necessarily be taking advantage." It was just that he didn't care too much about it because he was able to feed the whole family before.

Shen Wu didn’t understand what it meant, and it wasn’t written in the book.

She ate a few candies and a piece of peach cake, and gradually she recovered.

It’s not time to cook yet.

Old Lady Lu asked her to cook, and Xu Yin was also called at the same time. Shen Wu urgently needed to talk to Xu Yin, so she looked at Xu Yin and quickly went into the kitchen.
