After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Li Qingqing picked up the axe she borrowed from Carpenter Wang and walked home.

Before I got home, I saw from afar many village women standing in the Zhou family yard with their children. The scene was very lively.

Li Qingqing thought to herself, these aunts are really proactive, sending their children here so quickly.

She quickened her pace and hurried to the yard.

Just as I reached the gate of the courtyard, I heard Zhou Yimo talking in the crowd: "Auntie, please go back! Zhou Dashuang and Zhou Xiaoshuang are my sisters and have nothing to do with your Zhang family."

Zhou Yimo's voice was as clear and pleasant as ever, neither hurried nor slow, but this time it was filled with a sense of alienation and coldness.

Someone's looking for trouble? Li Qingqing was curious.

"Son-in-law Zhou, how can you say that? Even though Dashuang and Xiaoshuang have been adopted by the Zhou family, they are still the blood of the Zhang family!" A familiar woman's voice sounded, and there was obviously a hint of unnatural fake smile in the voice.

Zhou's son-in-law? ?

Li Qingqing frowned, somewhat confused.

Before Zhou Yimo could speak, the villagers gathered in the yard started talking, everyone talking at once:

"Sister, don't try to get close to the Zhou family's nephew! The Zhou family won't hand over the hunting business to your family. Go quickly and don't block my son's registration."

"The Zhou family has no farmland, and they work so hard to hunt and sell game. Who are you? You want their ox cart? How dare you?"

"I recognize this lady. Your mother-in-law must be Zhang, right? It's strange today. Why didn't I see your mother-in-law come here in person? Tsk tsk..."

Li Qingqing tried hard to recall.

Oh! Now I remember, isn't this the stepmother of Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang, Shao Shi?

What is she here for?

Li Qingqing took a step forward and squeezed through the crowd of onlookers. She saw Shao standing in the middle of the crowd with a fake smile on his face, and was about to say something to Zhou Yimo.

Shao Shi remained the same as before, the only difference was that she was now more than four months pregnant and her belly was a little big, which also caused the women to keep their babies under control to avoid running into Shao Shi.

"Son-in-law Zhou, how about we make a deal? Your father-in-law can drive an ox cart and sell game. He'll come over tomorrow and take over the ox cart. What do you think?"

Shao said to Zhou An with her belly bulging, one hand supporting her waist and a forced smile on her face.

She didn't care what the villagers said. While the girl was away, she quickly told the Zhou family scholar that she was leaving.

Zhou Yimo was registering the children's names at this time. He frowned slightly, wrote the last word, put down the brush, and was about to speak when his eyes inadvertently swept across the crowd and saw Li Qingqing just squeezing through the crowd to the front.

When their eyes met, Zhou Yimo's expression softened a lot.

"You continue to register everyone!" Li Qingqing said to Zhou An.

"Okay!" Zhou An nodded and began to write down the children's names.

When the surrounding villagers saw Li Qingqing coming back, they greeted her with a smile. Li Qingqing gestured for them to continue registering.

The villagers had a lot of work to do at home, so they didn't refuse and continued to bring their children to Zhou Yimo.

Li Qingqing walked up to Shao, her expression expressionless, but with a hint of coldness in her voice: "Shao, stop making random connections. What are you doing in the Zhou family?"

The Zhang family keeps on killing one after another, will this ever end?

When Shao saw this, she was shocked! Why did this girl come back? She quickly pretended to be calm and put on a fake smile:

"Oh, it's Daya back. It's like this. I just found out that you've given the hunting business to outsiders, so I thought you might as well let me—"

Before Shao could finish her words, she suddenly caught sight of Li Qingqing holding a sharp axe in her hand. She turned pale with fear and immediately shut her mouth, not daring to continue.

Li Qingqing looked at Shao and saw that he suddenly stopped talking, feeling confused: Why didn't you say anything?

She followed Shao's gaze, looked down at the axe in her hand, and thought, Oh no, this is really a misunderstanding!

She didn't mean to scare people with the axe.

However, Mrs. Shao has a big belly and can't be touched or driven away. It would be best if she could be scared away.

Li Qingqing thought about this, she held the axe in her hand and said:

"Shao, everything about my Zhou family has nothing to do with your Zhang family. You should go back quickly. The roads in our Lihua Village are a bit difficult to walk on. You have to walk slowly. You are pregnant!"

The surrounding villagers were busy registering their children and then had to rush home to do things, so they didn't notice anything unusual between them. When they heard Li Qingqing's words, they also echoed:

"Yeah, you're a pregnant woman, don't run outside all the time, go back quickly."

"Don't come to the Zhou family to try to make connections anymore. Don't learn from your unreasonable mother-in-law."

The villagers of Lihua Village were talking about this at once. Shao was too shy to admit defeat, so he made an excuse and returned to Zhang's house in disgrace.

At this time, Zhang had just finished a battle and was lying in bed waiting for good news from Shao.

She loves to lie in bed every day now, and has been lying in bed for more than 20 days.

At first she was really lying down, but later she was pretending to lie down.

That time outside the Zhou family yard, after being hit on the ankle by a small stone, Zhang came back and urged Zhang Xingyuan to find Doctor Zhang for treatment.

Doctor Zhang examined her and said her ankle was injured. She needed to stay in bed for two weeks, take some medicine and apply some compresses, and it would basically heal. Otherwise, her foot would become lame in the future.

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she was so frightened that she immediately lay down in bed and asked Zhang Xingyuan and Mrs. Shao to take care of her every day. She also asked Doctor Zhang to come for follow-up visits every now and then.

It turns out that Doctor Zhang's medical skills are really good. Two weeks later, he saw Zhang again and said that she had recovered.

Of course, the most important thing is that Li Qingqing knew when to act.

Zhang could naturally feel that her feet had recovered, but although she was harsh on others, she did whatever she wanted to do with herself.

During these two weeks, Zhang had experienced a comfort she had never experienced before. It was so comfortable to have someone serving her all day long.

No wonder those rich people buy maids and have them run around for them, it turns out that this kind of life can be so comfortable!

So, Zhang made an excuse, claiming that his foot injury had not yet fully healed. In any case, Zhang Xingyuan and Shao were kept in the dark and knew nothing about it.

Zhang Xingyuan really knew nothing. Now he had other ideas in his mind and wanted to run to the town every day.

Once before, when Zhang Xingyuan went to the town to get medicine for Zhang, Liu Yuanwai's men were everywhere luring people to spend money in gambling houses and brothels. By chance, he was dragged into a brothel in a daze and actually tasted the sweetness.

This was like opening Pandora's box.

However, the fees in the brothel were too high, costing at least two taels of silver each time. Zhang Xingyuan had no money on him, so he had to turn to Zhang's money box.
