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

Zhao Huanxi waited for everyone to leave, then secretly took out his money box and counted it. There were still about thirty or forty taels of silver in the box.

He sighed. Although the money was gone, he got a new house. At least he wouldn't be troubled by the house for the next ten years. With the remaining money, he could think carefully about how to make money from money. It would definitely not be a problem to support himself and his children.

She could occasionally dig up some medicinal herbs in the mountains, and earning a little pocket money was enough. She didn't have the ambition to become the richest person. Working so hard in the modern world, if she could just lie back in the old days... she'd instantly feel the motivation to move forward.

But she seemed to have forgotten that she had convinced herself in the same way in modern times...

The next morning after breakfast, Zhao Huanxi took the three children and walked towards their new home with a broom.

"Wow~ Mom, can we live here from now on?" Xiao Yin walked towards his house excitedly.

Although it was not their first time here, the three little ones still looked around curiously.

Zhao Huanxi's home isn't a traditional two-story house. Entering from the main entrance is a small, open-air courtyard, entirely enclosed by blue bricks. There's a half-meter-wide flower bed against the wall, currently filled with just some soil, which could be used to plant flowers and vegetables later.

On the left are two guest rooms for overnight guests. Each room has two large windows facing the yard. There is a wardrobe and a desk inside, as well as a wooden bed that is 1.8 meters by 1.5 meters.

Entering from the center of the courtyard, one finds a large reception room specially reserved by Huanxi. A half-wall has been built in the middle, with a long table at the bottom. Currently, the top is also empty. In front of it are two beechwood chairs for the main seats, and in the middle is a small square table.

There are two identical chairs and a small square table on each side of the living room. When guests come to my house, they can drink tea here. It’s so comfortable just thinking about it.

Entering the backyard patio through the half wall of the living room, there are bedrooms on both sides, each equipped with a dressing table, wardrobe and desk.

A small piece of land was left in the middle of the patio and a flower bed was built with floor tiles. The bedrooms on the left and right sides were connected to the two bedrooms in the living room, and the things inside were the same.

Now there are only three rooms in the back row left. The kitchen is on the right, and the two bedrooms on the left are connected. It is the study and bedroom suite that Zhao Huanxi prepared for himself.

The study had two staggered bookshelves and a large lockable cabinet. In front of the window was a desk with a comfortable armchair underneath. It wasn't a large study, but it had everything I needed.

Inside was Huanxi's own bedroom. The things inside were similar to the children's. The only difference was that she had a few paintings on the wall.

I bought these when I went to town and saw a scholar selling paintings on the street. I asked about the prices and they weren't expensive, so I bought several at once.

The house was quite cozy now, and she had found a place to hide her cash box. But she couldn't take it out now, because when the party came and went, who knew who would steal it.

The kitchen had three pots on the stove, a long cupboard, a large water tank, and a large chopping board. To the right was a large dining table with a few chairs. We could eat here or in the middle of the patio; it was quite spacious anyway.

Going out from the back door of the kitchen, Zhao Huanxi fenced off a piece of land and surrounded it with blue bricks more than two meters high.

Now the house is like a brick barrel. If ordinary people want to come in and steal things, forget it, unless the thief has a ladder...

The most important thing was the toilet. There was a small house in the distance, leading from Zhao Huanxi's bedroom and kitchen through a small corridor. At least now, he wouldn't get wet when he went to the toilet when it rained.

Inside, there's a squat toilet and a wooden barrel. This is based on the principles of squat toilets from the past, but with some improvements (those eating here can skip this part). When you flush the poop, it flows down a stone trough into the septic tank outside the backyard, where it can later be used to ferment farmyard manure. So, it doesn't stink.

Zhao Huanxi also wants to find someone to dig a deep well in the backyard, so that it will be convenient for cooking and watering vegetables at home.

After visiting the house, the children had already chosen their own rooms. The three sisters ran around in one room and then another, unable to stop their excitement.

I picked up the rag and prepared to clean. Sometimes the house is too big, and it takes more than an hour to sweep the floor. Fortunately, the three girls are helping to wipe the dust, which makes it much faster.

When I came out of the new house, it was already noon.

Zhao Huanxi locked the door and led the child back to the thatched cottage.

After a quick lunch, the woman who helped knead the dough in the afternoon came over to help make the dough rise so that she could steam buns and slaughter pigs tomorrow.

"Joy, joy!"

Old Mrs. Tian ran to her house panting, and Zhao Huanxi quickly poured her a cup of tea.

"Mom, what's wrong? Are you so tired?"

The old lady calmed down, drank a sip of water, and then said to Zhao Huanxi, "You...you...your father is here, and he's asking about you at the village entrance. He looks very aggressive, so be careful."

"Isn't Dad not feeling well? Why did you come to the village entrance to ask about me? Why didn't you just come here directly?"

Zhao Huanxi was confused. Old Master Lu had been feeling unwell for the past two days and had hardly gone out, so why did he go out today?

"You silly girl, your own father is here!"

Old Mrs. Tian was very angry because the girl couldn't grasp the key point at the critical moment.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huanxi immediately searched the original owner's memory for information about the original owner's father. The original owner's father seemed to be only in his forties, but he had been working hard for many years and looked as good as Old Master Lu. He always liked to have a stern face and was always lukewarm to the original owner, but he was enthusiastic towards the original owner's younger brother.

This Zhao Mancai hadn't asked about her since the original owner got married, so what was he doing here now? Zhao Huanxi remembered the aunt she met on the street yesterday and suddenly understood what had happened.

"Mom, where is my dad? Should I go and meet him?"

"It's at the big rock at the entrance of the village. Your Aunt Sun is holding it there. Let's go quickly."

Zhao Huanxi saw that Old Lady Tian was so old and had been so exhausted just to tell her the news. Zhao Huanxi simply stopped being anxious and supported Old Lady Tian as they slowly walked towards the village entrance.

I thought to myself that I was not the original owner, so I could do whatever I wanted.

When we moved to the village entrance, we saw from a distance an old man with a beard, followed by a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.

The bearded old man is the original owner’s father, Zhao Mancai, and the young man is the original owner’s younger brother, Zhao Fengnian.

"Dad? Little brother! Why are you here?" Zhao Huanxi walked forward and greeted him.

Snapped!

She was greeted with a loud slap.

"You rebellious girl! How dare you show up in public! You've lost face so much, I feel ashamed for you!" Zhao Mancai was so angry that he half died.

Zhao Huanxi was slapped in the face with a confused look on his face. The old man used all his strength. Zhao Huanxi felt a little dizzy from the slap and his cheeks were visibly swelling rapidly.

"Oh! Brother Zhao, what are you doing? If you have something to say, just talk it out. Why are you fighting?" Mrs. Sun immediately stepped forward and pulled Zhao Mancai away.

"That's right, that little Zhao didn't do anything!"

"That's right, he hits his daughter right away. I've never seen a father like that."

Old Lady Tian stepped forward and stood in front of Huanxi, and said to Zhao Mancai:

"My dear relatives, if you have something to say, please sit down and talk slowly. It's wrong to hit people."

When Zhao Mancai heard this, he said to Old Lady Tian, ​​"My dear, I'm so sorry. It's my fault for not raising my daughter well. I will take this rebellious girl back and drown her in the pond."

Zhao Huanxi behind him: "What! Shentang! Did I break the law?"

The young man gloated, "Sister, you did such a shameful thing, drowning in a pond is the least of your punishment."

Zhao Huanxi hadn't reacted yet. The first person to hit her since she traveled through time was actually her father. Even that jerk Lu Feng hadn't even come close to her.

Then he grinned and began to sneer.
