Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

At this moment, Afan walked in and reported to Xiuying, "Aunt, the fourth and fifth sons have already hired workers to make passion fruit. Would you like to take a look?"

When Afan asked Xiuying, Wu Baixi accidentally saw the jade pendant on Afan's neck, which had the family totem of the Wu family army on it.

He couldn't help but say, "This jade pendant..." There was a hint of hesitation in Wu Baixi's voice. After thinking about it, he didn't speak.

Xiuying told Afan without hesitation: "Let the fourth and fifth brothers make the decision on this matter, you just go and do your own thing." Xiuying waved her hand, looking calm and composed.

Afan responded and turned to walk out.

Wu Baixi looked at Afan's strong and tall back, and thought to himself that this back was somewhat similar to General Zhenwei.

He turned his head, his eyes full of doubt, and asked Xiuying: "Sister Xiuying, how did you get to know General Zhenwei and General Zhongyong?"

Xiuying sighed softly and said slowly, "It's a long story. Little Laoliu was once kidnapped by that nasty Zhou Dazhu, and then he got lost somehow. Our whole family was frantic, searching everywhere for him."

She paused, calmed herself down, and continued, "Luckily, we met General Zhenwei and General Zhongyong later on. They rescued Little Six. If it weren't for them, I really don't know what would have happened."

"Since then, we have come into contact with these two generals, and we are well aware of their bravery and righteousness." Xiuying's eyes revealed admiration for the two generals.

Talking about Zhou Dazhu, Wu Boxi told Xiuying with a serious expression: "Sister Xiuying, Zhou Dazhu is really cunning. On the way to the county government office, he took advantage of the guards' negligence and ran away." Wu Boxi frowned, his tone full of anger and helplessness.

He pounded the table lightly and continued, "Now, the government has issued a wanted order and posted notices everywhere, offering a reward for the capture of this villain. But he is as slippery as a loach, and we haven't been able to find his whereabouts for a while."

"But don't worry, this man has committed murder. The authorities will never let him go. They will definitely intensify their efforts to hunt him down, and sooner or later, they will bring him to justice."

Wu Baixi's thoughts slowly returned to his senses, and he told Xiuying with a serious expression, "Sister Xiuying, the jade pendant that Afan is wearing is unique to the Wu family. The family totem on it cannot be wrong."

He took a deep breath and continued, "Also, I heard that General Zhongyong gave birth to a child on the battlefield. The battle was extremely critical at the time, and in order to divert the enemy's attention and allow the army to successfully break through, General Zhongyong gave the newborn child to his personal guards."

"Since then, General Zhongyong and the Wu family army have been secretly searching for this child and have never given up." Wu Baixi shook his head slightly and sighed, "So many years have passed, and we still don't know where this child is."

Wu Baixi's eyes were deep, and he didn't reveal Afan's life experience on the spot. He said slowly: "Sister Xiuying, since Wu Yong and Hua Qingcheng are here, they must have seen Afan. They couldn't recognize Afan, and they must have their own difficulties."

He raised his head slightly, sighed deeply, and continued, "I'm not telling you this to deliberately stir up trouble, but simply because I think you should know the hidden truth."

"Perhaps they faced numerous difficulties and obstacles, perhaps due to the intense war situation, or perhaps due to other factors that are difficult for us to imagine. But no matter what, there must be hidden difficulties behind this."

Wu Baixi's gaze remained on Xiuying, observing her reaction, hoping that she could understand what he said.

"I'm only saying this to let you know Afan's background. As for what happens next, it all depends on their fate and destiny."

Xiuying said gratefully, "Brother Wu, I understand what you mean. I'm very grateful that you can tell me this."

She took a deep breath and continued with a determined look, "As long as General Zhenwei doesn't recognize Afan, Afan will be well with me. I will take care of him like my own child and protect him thoroughly. I will never let him suffer any injustice."

"Even if we ever meet again in the future, my feelings for Afan will never change." Xiuying's eyes were filled with tenderness and determination. "Brother Wu, don't worry."

Xiuying and Wu Baixi were chatting enthusiastically when Wang Daya walked in quickly and said loudly, "Madam, it's time for dinner."

Upon hearing this, Xiuying stood up with a smile and said to Wu Baixi, "Brother Wu, let's go eat first." Xiuying made a gesture of invitation.

Afterwards, Xiuying took Wu Baixi to the main hall and sat down at the table, which was filled with delicious dishes and smelled delicious.

At this time, the servants were sitting in an orderly manner at the tables and chairs in the yard to eat.

While eating, Wu Baixi picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth while saying, "It's a good thing for the village to build a wall, but the situation is unstable now."

He put down his chopsticks and continued, "It's easy to build a wall, but it's hard to make it strong. Take the wall of Pingyang County, for example. We still have no idea how to build it."

Wu Baixi's tone was heavy and his eyes revealed deep helplessness.

"The wall of Pingyang County should have been the strongest and most solid. Unfortunately, the supervisors who oversaw its construction were corrupt and ruined the project."

Wu Baixi sighed heavily, his face full of anger and regret.

"This case was tried by the Jizhou prefect back then. I thought I could severely punish those criminals and give the people an explanation. But the result... Alas!" Wu Baixi shook his head, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

There are corrupt officials in every dynasty, and Xiuying was not surprised by this. She said calmly: "Brother Wu, this is not surprising. There are no fish in clear water." Xiuying waved her hand gently, looking calm.

She then told Wu Baixi, "Grandma Zhang from our village gave us a recipe. We mixed it up and made a paste that stuck to the stone very firmly."

When Wu Boxi heard this, he stopped eating and said anxiously, "Sister Xiuying, come on, take me to see it." Wu Boxi put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up.

"If this is really so magical, the wall of Pingyang County might be saved." Wu Baixi said as he was about to walk out. His eyes were full of hope and his steps seemed a little impatient.

Seeing this, Xiuying quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Wu, let's go now." Xiuying moved quickly. Although eating was important, the matter of the wall was more important.

At this time, the villagers who were building the wall were taking a break and having a meal. When they saw Wu Baixi coming, they put down their bowls and chopsticks, stood up, and respectfully shouted in unison: "Hello, sir!" The villagers' voices were loud and uniform, and their faces were full of awe.
