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

"How can you talk like that? I'm the village chief's nephew! Isn't it all thanks to my uncle that you're where you are today?"

After saying this, he still looked arrogant and showed great dissatisfaction.

"Explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by relying on the village chief to get to where you are today? Did you spend money with me to teach me a lesson?"

Zhao Huanxi was shocked by this man's train of thought. If he had known earlier, he should have asked him in time when the village chief looked embarrassed. What kind of person did he find?

He found twenty-five coins from his pocket and gave them to Lu Lin, asking him to give them to Lu Fa.

Lu Fa thought the other party was paying him to keep his mouth shut, so he quickly put the money into his pocket with a smug look on his face.

"This is your wages for today. You don't have to come tomorrow. Now take your things and go back to your own home."

Zhao Huanxi was speechless. Mrs. Xiang and Lu Daniu beside him were making eye contact, and it was unclear what they were communicating about.

"Why? Just let me go, I'm just leaving. I'm......"

"Stop, stop, stop! Shut up! I'm the one paying the wages, so I'm the boss! Do you understand? Now the boss wants to fire you, do you understand?"

He changed his tone and said to the others:

"Everyone, work hard. I, Zhao Huanxi, don't owe anyone money! Let's be frank. Those who are cunning and sly don't need to come. Those who do a good job will be paid every ten days from now on! When the house is finished, I will give everyone a big red envelope!"

Zhao Huanxi's words were both a warning and an encouragement. They brought everyone out of their hushed mood and also turned Lu Fa's face dark red.

Seeing him standing still, Zhao Huanxi ignored him. He had heard this kind of fatherly speech many times in his previous life. A man who was almost a stranger could point fingers at your affairs, his tone full of contempt and disdain, and he even said: I'm doing this for your own good~

I'll go to your horse.

He rolled his eyes at Lu Fa and said coldly, "Brother Lu, you have finished your work today, and I have paid you all your wages for today. What are you still waiting for here?"

Lu Fa came back to his senses and said to Zhao Huanxi fiercely:

"Just wait for me!" He turned around and left with the shovel.

Zhao Huanxi wasn't afraid of him. A simple-minded but strong-limbed person wasn't enough for Zhao Huanxi to deal with. As for what tricks he was going to use, it was nothing more than attacking his own house.

Now he wasn't the only one in the village who was jealous of him, and no one could guarantee that someone wouldn't come and sabotage his progress. So... he had to hire a "security guard."

Speaking of security, Zhao Huanxi thought of a very suitable candidate, or more precisely, a "snake" candidate. But he would have to wait until tomorrow.

After Lu Fa walked away, Zhao Huanxi quietly asked Liu if there was anyone else who wanted to cause trouble. Liu shook her head and said that she would tell Zhao Huanxi if there was anyone else.

Over there, sister-in-law Xiang was chatting with her husband. When she saw Zhao Huanxi was about to go back, she hurried over and started chatting with Zhao Huanxi.

"Sister Huanxi, do you know what happened to Zhang Yanzi yesterday?"

"I don't know. I didn't go yesterday."

"I also heard it from my husband. I heard that Liu Dashan divorced that old woman!"

"What? No way, that old man looks so honest, how could he agree to divorce his wife?"

Zhao Huanxi suddenly felt that this old woman was quite pitiful. She was so old and had no family. Her eldest son was not at home, and her youngest son was not married. She had no one to raise her.

"I'll only tell you this, and you mustn't tell anyone else..." He whispered a few words into Zhao Huanxi's ear.

Zhao Huanxi was petrified after hearing this...it really blew her mind.

His sister-in-law told him that Liu Dashan was having an affair with the village's Flower Widow. The main reason was that the Flower Widow was several years older than Liu Dashan. Because she usually wore red and green clothes and dressed up in a flashy way despite her age, and her husband had been dead for many years, she was nicknamed the Flower Widow.

It was said that Liu Dashan was busy working in the fields during this period, pretending to go to the fields, but in fact he was making love with Hua Guafu in the fields without knowing what was going on. Someone accidentally saw Hua Guafu's red mandarin duck bellyband still hanging on Liu Dashan's belt.

In short, the scene can be described in two words: "eye-catching".

"Then what? That old lady Zhang didn't make a fuss?" Zhao Huanxi asked hurriedly.

"I made a fuss, but why didn't I make a fuss? I almost jumped into the river but was pulled back. Later, the village chief mediated and gave the shabby house in the village to Mrs. Zhang. He also gave her two taels of silver from the Liu family. Only then did things calm down."

"After all this trouble, Mrs. Zhang got a free property?"

"I'm just lending it to her. She has to pay taxes every year. What are you thinking? Besides, that shabby house is drafty on all sides. It's like a chicken coop, not really habitable."

Suddenly, he turned around and looked at Zhao Huanxi with a squinting face, which made her feel uneasy.

"Sister-in-law, what's with that look in your eyes? It's scary."

Zhao Huanxi hugged his arms and pretended to shake off the goose bumps on his arms.

"Is there something going on between you and that kid Xu?" Xiang asked sister-in-law mysteriously.

Zhao Huanxi didn't react: "What Xu family kid? What's going on?"

"Oh, I saw it the other day. When Mrs. Zhang slandered you, Mr. Xu's anger didn't seem like an act."

"Ah~ Brother Xu, you don't know what happened..." Zhao Huanxi told his sister-in-law about how he went into the mountains to dig wild vegetables and rescued Xu Qingzhao.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Xiang's sister-in-law finally realized that the boy was repaying a favor. If she were in his shoes, she would probably do the same thing as the boy if her savior was slandered.

So he said to Huanxi, "I know you have good intentions, but that boy is not bad looking. In my opinion, it's not impossible for you to marry him."

This was obviously a joke, but it gave Zhao Huanxi a fright. He quickly explained to his sister-in-law:

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you the truth. I have a bad fate. I married Lu Feng before and had that bad fate. If I were to marry someone else again, I might as well jump into the river and die."

The thought of doing that with a man made Zhao Huanxi feel nauseous and she wanted to vomit. No, no, no, no matter how handsome he was, she couldn't accept it.

She didn't know that her sister-in-law remembered these words clearly, and when she married someone in the future, she told these words to Huanxi, making Zhao Huanxi blush.

When they returned home, they peeked in through the crack in the door and saw Qianqian teaching San Ya how to use a needle and thread like a little teacher. Even Xiao Yin and Xiao Nian, who were usually the most restless, sat quietly and studied with a serious look on their faces.

Seeing this, the two of them felt relieved and went to the small room to continue chatting.

"Sister-in-law, does what we said last time in the oxcart still count?"

Sister-in-law Xiang smiled at her and said, "Xiao Pan's learning embroidery? It counts. I just saw that Xiao Pan is a good material for embroidery."

"Really? Then when are you free? I'll take her there to become your disciple."

"There's no need to become my disciple. We don't talk about that among neighbors."

"That won't do. Once a teacher, always a father. If you want to learn, you must take it seriously. Not only must you become my disciple, but you must also pay me tuition."
