Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child

Chapter 68 My wife, our house was robbed

It was already dusk when Mu Jiaojiao and her family of four returned home.

Everything in the house is kept in order by my adopted sister Liu Yulan and Aunt Liu.

Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh that the two of them were really good housekeepers!

After dinner, when everyone left one after another, Uncle Wang Gui brought Liu Yan to find Mu Jiaojiao and Xia Jin who were sitting in the yard, and told them that the construction of the house was nearing completion.

"Jiaojiao girl, Jin boy, the house will basically be finished after we clean it up tomorrow."

Uncle Wang Gui casually took a sip of the lotus leaf rose tea that Mu Jiaojiao had brewed for him. He thought the tea was delicious and he couldn't say anything more about it.

"We're sorry to have troubled Uncle Gui and Brother Liu during this time. My husband and I are very grateful to you all."

Mu Jiaojiao sincerely thanked Wang Gui and Liu Yan. These two people handled the house renovation matter very well and they basically didn't have to put in any effort.

"Hey, what's the point of saying thank you to the villagers? You two are paying high wages!"

After Liu Yan finished listening to this, Zhou Zheng showed a sincere smile on his face. It was true that Mu Jiaojiao paid a lot of money, and she also often gave them a few taels of silver as hard work fees.

He hasn't received his wages properly yet, but now he has earned an extra five taels of silver.

"Speaking of wages, Brother Liu, you guys should count the number of working days for the villagers and settle the money after the house is completed tomorrow."

Mu Jiaojiao didn't want to take the money from these hard-working people. After all, life was not easy in Dayu.

Besides, winter is coming soon, and there are few wild vegetables in the mountains. It is better to pay them the money as soon as possible so that they can buy some food and store it. At least they can suffer less during the winter.

"That's great. My uncle and I will check it out tonight."

When Liu Yan heard Mu Jiaojiao say that he could get his wages immediately, he was naturally happy. Many of the men who went to work were recruited by him.

Being able to pay everyone the money earlier also eased the situation at home.

"I think so."

Uncle Wang Gui also responded. At this time, after settling the money and taking advantage of the weather, they could go to the town to buy some food.

"Then Jiaojiao girl, Jin boy, we'll go first and calculate everyone's wages."

When Uncle Wang Gui thought of this, he couldn't wait to take Liu Yan away.

"Uncle Gui, take care, Brother Liu."

After some polite exchanges, the couple sent the two out of the yard. When they turned to go back into the house, Xia Jin held Mu Jiaojiao's hand intentionally or unintentionally.

"Madam, I just kept it from you. An San said that their house was robbed today."

Xia Jin took Mu Jiaojiao to sit in front of the bamboo table, and did not let go of her hand. He played with it carefully and talked casually.

"Beat? What kind of thief?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao looked up at Xia Jin suspiciously. Liu Yulan and the others had been busy cooking in the yard all day. What kind of thief was so bold?

"I heard from An San that he went into our room. After An San found out, he chased him and we had a fight in the back hills, but he got away."

Xia Jin described it seriously, and her gentle face did not show any sign of anxiety even though she was being robbed.

Mu Jiaojiao looked at him suspiciously for several times. She mainly felt that Xia Jin didn't look like someone who had a thief in his house.

"Then let's go see what's missing."

Mu Jiaojiao felt that although she was suspicious, she still had to go and confirm it.

"Yeah, I should check it out."

Upon hearing this, Xia Jin fully agreed with his wife's statement.

Then the two of them got up and went into the house to see if anything was missing, while the two brothers Xia Zhao played with Xue Da and Xue Er in the yard.

As soon as she entered the house, Mu Jiaojiao didn't find any signs of being moved. Due to her habits in her previous life, she remembered the angles and positions of these things.

"Are you sure your men really fought with thieves?"

Mu Jiaojiao was very skeptical about this and turned to look at the person who was lazily following her.

He held Mu Jiaojiao's hand and followed her closely without saying a word.

"Well, An San said yes, or my lady can take a closer look."

Xia Jin's eyes flickered slightly, and then he calmly watched his wife busily looking for something missing.

After hearing what he said, Mu Jiaojiao no longer had any doubts, because Xia Jin's people were indeed capable.

Since the thief could escape from his hands and these ordinary people could not find out, it was not surprising that he moved things and then put them back to their original places.

Then Mu Jiaojiao thought of something. She took Xia Jin's hand, walked to the bedside table, and opened an inconspicuous box placed there.

Something was indeed missing from the box.

Then Mu Jiaojiao put the box on the bedside table, turned around, folded her hands, and looked at Xia Jin with a smile.

"Is this thief about eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, fair skin, and never a word of truth in his mouth?"

"My lady, how do you know? Are you a genius?"

Xia Jin looked surprised when he heard this, and then he began to flatter his wife.

"Although An San didn't see his face, he said he was quite tall, almost eight feet tall."

"Humph!"

Mu Jiaojiao snorted coldly at him talking nonsense seriously.

"Tell me, where is the divorce contract?"

Mu Jiaojiao was too lazy to beat around the bush with this black-hearted and suspicious person.

"Madam, you lost the divorce agreement? This thief is really good at stealing."

Xia Jin's face was filled with sudden realization, then turned into an incredible expression.

"Just pretend!"

Mu Jiaojiao felt it was a shame that Xia Jin didn't go into acting, as she was a strong contender for an Oscar.

"My dear, I am not pretending~"

Xia Jin also sounded pitiful as she spoke, looking at Mu Jiaojiao with a wronged expression, her eyes accusing her of "Wife, you actually don't believe in your husband".

Mu Jiaojiao: “…………” This acting genius?!

Mu Jiaojiao was too lazy to argue with him any more, so she reached out and pinched his waist hard, threatening him.

"Encore!"

"My wife, it hurts~"

Upon hearing this, Xia Jin sighed and said it hurt, like a good girl being raped by a bully.

"Tell me, where is the contract?"

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao patted the place where she had just pinched her, and then watched him act with a dark face.

"Lady~"

Xia Jin grabbed his wife's hand that was playing tricks on her waist, then turned around and pushed Mu Jiaojiao down on the bed, and hugged Mu Jiaojiao close to him.

"My wife, you pinched me and hurt me."

Then he whispered in Mu Jiaojiao's ear in an ambiguous tone, without answering Mu Jiaojiao's words.

"Xia Jin, get out of here quickly."

The tips of Mu Jiaojiao's ears gradually turned crimson. She reached out to push Xia Jin, but failed.

This guy usually looks weak, but I didn't expect him to be so strong.

"My wife, your husband wants to kiss you."

Xia Jin took off the veil on Mu Jiaojiao's face, looked at the red tips of his wife's ears under him, and couldn't help but say.

Then he finished speaking, without waiting for Mu Jiaojiao to answer, he pressed his lips against Mu Jiaojiao's small, thin lips.

"Well……"

Mu Jiaojiao struggled for a while but failed to break free, then she turned around and hugged Xia Jin.

never mind!

Rather than struggling, enjoy...
