After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

Seeing that she didn't understand, Xiang's sister-in-law said, "You are a very famous person in the village now. Many families want to take you back home as a daughter-in-law, but there are some who have bad intentions and want to use dirty tricks. If you go out, you still have to go with someone."

Ever since Huanxi's family hired servants, built a house, and bought land, countless people in the village were jealous and envious. Seeing Huanxi build a house even more luxurious than his current one, those people began to get excited.

Some families also heard that Xu Qingzhao had invested money, and all of a sudden, families with sons and daughters began to set their sights on these two people.

Just think... if I married Huanxi. I'd have a ready-made mansion to live in, several beautiful servants to serve me, a beautiful fairy to worship at home, and a new house under construction that would be like a fairy palace when it was finished. And then there's the five acres of good land, which, if sold at all, would cover the family's expenses for a year or two. Who wouldn't be tempted?

It was obvious that someone was moved, and more than one person.

Even the old-fashioned Clan Leader Lu in the village was tempted. At that time, he was happy that his family had built a house to hold a wedding banquet, and the girl invited him to eat at the top seat. Even the village chief with the highest status in the village and her nominal father, Old Master Lu, did not receive such treatment.

This girl is good at handling things and making money. She has brought up her three daughters, who are not her own, like lucky dolls. It is obvious that the girl from the Zhao family is very capable.

Therefore, the patriarch also intended to tell his joy to his little grandson, Lu Yuanke.

I'm in my twenties and I'm also studying in town. I passed the Tongsheng exam a few years ago and I heard he was planning to take the Xiucai exam, but there's been no news in all these years.

However, the family deficit was increasing year by year, and they were about to be unable to provide for their families, so the patriarch set his sights on Huanxi.

Huanxi didn't know about these things, and neither did Xiang's sister-in-law. They only knew that many people in the village had been saying that Huanxi wanted to recruit Xu Qingzhao as a son-in-law. This was why some people were so anxious that they were about to jump over the wall.

After chatting with sister-in-law Xiang for a few minutes, he returned home happily with a heavy heart.

These people just think of themselves as objects that can make money. During that time when I was so poor that I didn't even have food to eat, I didn't see those people targeting me. Now, in the final analysis, it's only money that can move people's hearts.

She looked towards Xu Qingzhao's bedroom in her home and began to think about how to eliminate this problem from the root.

But if they really get married, is she ready? Is it fair for Qing Zhao to marry her for this reason?

She sighed and decided to recuperate first... There was nothing she could do now, so she could only wait and see. She was a woman of the new era, and this little difficulty could not defeat her.

At this time, Zhao Huanxi saw a figure sneaking out of the back door of the house and was puzzled. It should be time to cook dinner, and the two people in the kitchen were also there. So who went out was Yuanzhen or Linghua?

She went to the front hall and watched the three girls, who had just finished school, sorting their books. After more than a month of study, the children knew quite a few words, and Yu Yan was already teaching them to read books similar to the Three Character Classic.

Xu Jinchu was playing with the younger Baoer, while Xiaodan was nowhere to be seen.

I asked the two little girls to follow me at the time, but I was so busy that I forgot about them. Now that my hand is injured and I'm staying at home for a few days, I asked them to follow me to see what kind of personality they have.

"Achu, Baoer, what are you playing?"

Xu Jinchu tilted his head and saw that it was Huanxi, so he said coquettishly: "Baoer said that ants were moving, so he pulled me over to see."

At this time, Baoer also squatted down and saluted, respectfully calling her "Madam".

Huanxi pulled her up and said, "Do you know what it means for ants to move?"

"I don't know."

"When ants move and snakes cross the road, it will rain heavily tomorrow. This means it may rain tomorrow."

"Huanhuan, is that true?" Xu Jinchu was confused.

"Is it true or not? We'll know tomorrow. Baoer, where is Xiaodan? Why isn't she playing with you?" Zhao Huanxi asked.

Baoer pretended to think and said, "Madam, Sister Xiaodan has been following Aunt Linghua these past two days. I don't know what she's been doing..."

Zhao Huanxi frowned. What on earth was Linghua up to? Although she didn't let Xiaodan work, she should at least let the child out to see the sun. Why was she always confined to the house?

Huanxi thought for a moment and headed towards Yuyan's room, feeling a mix of emotions. She'd known Yuyan for several months, and she was known for her calm, unpretentious personality. She was still very willing to interact with her. If she truly was a spy for the imperial court... then she had brought her in, so she couldn't blame anyone else.

dong dong dong.

"Yan Yan, can I come in?"

She knocked on the door and spoke cautiously.

"Are you happy? Come in."

Yu Yan is reading a book now. The table is full of ancient books, and there are also some poems that she copied herself on the table.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling depressed?" Yu Yan put down the book in her hand and asked gently.

"Yan Yan, have you seen Xiao Dan these days?"

"No, I thought you sent Xiao Dan somewhere else."

Huanxi then asked, "After spending the past few days with the servants, what do you think of their personalities? Is there anything wrong?"

Yu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Yuan Zhen is pretty good. I can actually talk to her. As for Ling Hua... I haven't met her much, so I don't know what her personality is like. As for the other people in the kitchen, I have even less idea."

"I haven't seen Xiaodan for several days, so I came to ask you. Since you don't know, I can only ask the kitchen. I'll leave first." Huanxi felt something was wrong the more she thought about it. Linghua had been acting strangely lately, and Yuanzhen looked like she had something to say. What happened to the people at home recently?

So she went to the kitchen and saw two people busy inside, sweating profusely. When she saw the lady come in, she hurriedly bowed and greeted her.

"What's good to eat today?"

Chun Liu smiled and said, "Madam, just go to the table and wait. Our cooking skills will never disappoint you."

Zhao Huanxi thought for a moment and said, "I won't be going into town for the next few days. I guess the food at home is almost gone. Do you two want to go to town?"

These two people have been together for such a long time, which makes them the happiest and most worry-free. It is also the most reassuring.

"Madam, do you want us to go to town to do some shopping?"

Huanxi looked at the cold dishes on the table, took a bite and said, "Yeah, you don't want to go?"

Xia He was more reserved. She wanted to go, but she could only look at Chun Liu eagerly. Chun Liu also wanted to go, so she said, "Madam, we want to go. But we don't know how to drive a car..."

Huanxi waved her hand and said, "Nothing, I'll ask Xu Qingzhao to drive you there. We can buy whatever you need. I'll give you two hundred yuan. Ask Yuanzhen and Linghua what they need."

At this time, a voice came from the back door: "To town, who's going to town? I want to go too."

When Linghua came in and saw Huanxi talking to Chunliu and Xiahe, she felt a little embarrassed and called her "Madam" awkwardly.
