I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

promiscuous woman!

As soon as Fang Xiaoxiao pushed open the courtyard gate, she heard several people gossiping about her like long-tongued women.

A bunch of ingrates! I work hard outside trying every possible way to earn money to support my family.

You guys not only don't know how to be grateful, but you also know how to gossip behind people's backs.

"What do you guys mean by this?!"

"..."

He Jinnian pretended not to hear, got up, picked up the machete beside him, and walked towards the woodpile.

"Hoo-ha, hoo-ha!"

He kept making noises, and he brandished the woodcutter's knife, like an old man, unable to split a piece even after a long time.

Murong Changqing had already excitedly run to the stove and started fiddling with the technique he had developed yesterday for cooking noodles.

Fang Xiaoxiao was furious with these two.

She wanted to say a few more words, but Pei Yan had a cold expression and started sipping his tea.

"Ugh, this tea is awful. I'd rather just drink well water."

Pei Yan's mouth was full of disgust as he looked up ahead.

what……

Only then did he notice that a man was following behind Fang Xiaoxiao.

The other person was much taller than him, and his square face revealed a unique killing intent that only someone who had experienced life and death could possess.

I myself had been on the verge of life and death before, and only managed to escape with great difficulty.

This feeling is not something that ordinary people can have; only those who have experienced it can express it.

Long Jinyan was the same. As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw Pei Yan sitting in the center, drinking tea.

His first impression of this person was that he had experiences that seemed familiar to him.

And from the way the other party makes gestures, one can sense that he is exceptionally skilled.

Who exactly is Fang Xiaoxiao, and why would she marry such a person?

He dared not say more, but he made up his mind.

If the person in front of him dares to plot against Fang Xiaoxiao, he will definitely kill him.

Pei Yan had just taken a couple of sips when he was startled by the sudden murderous intent.

what happened.

Fang Xiaoxiao was too lazy to pay attention to Pei Yan, and more importantly, she didn't dare to offend him right now.

What if someone sneaks into your room late at night and slits your throat?

Forget it, it's better to avoid trouble.

She turned her head, about to say that Long Jinyan should go and rest for a while and start working tomorrow.

Little did they know that the man was very perceptive and immediately ran to the woodcutter's block, snatching the wood-chopping knife from He Jinnian's hand.

"Brother, step aside, younger brother, come here."

He Jinnian grunted, but then a thought suddenly came to him.

As he moved aside, he fell to the side and landed on the ground.

"Ouch, little brother, you're so strong! It hurts so much!"

Fang Xiaoxiao could tell at a glance that he was a sham player.

What a perfectly normal man, acting like a green tea bitch.

If it were my era, I would have been drowned in spittle long ago.

Pei Yan maintained his cold expression as he watched He Jinnian act.

Long Jinyan felt like he hadn't used much force, so how did he end up lying on the ground?

So he held up the wood-chopping knife, bent down, and reached out.

"Brother, are you alright? You're too frail. Come dance with me tomorrow!"

"No, brother, I am a scholar, and I disdain to associate with you."

Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it anymore and had to tell the two to stop.

Long Jinyan nodded in agreement and continued chopping wood.

He was even told that this was probably the most profitable deal he had ever made.

After finding three useless people, this time I finally have someone who can help me.

After nodding in satisfaction, she slung her bamboo basket over her shoulder, glanced at the sun—it was still bright enough that she could go up the mountain to pick some medicinal herbs.

I need to hurry up and get the remaining three back, so they don't get locked up later.

She gave them some instructions, telling them to get along well and that they would all be brothers from now on, before leaving in a hurry.

The remaining people were left behind.

Pei Yan and the others cracked sunflower seeds, watching Long Jinyan huff and puff as he diligently chopped firewood.

They were somewhat jealous, mainly because they wondered why this guy had to put on such a show.

Is it better for him to be a good-for-nothing?

He Jinnian couldn't bear to watch any longer and whispered something in Pei Yan's ear.

"I think we need to teach this guy a lesson, give him a good talking to."

"Otherwise, if he does this, where will we put our faces?"

Pei Yan touched his chin, his eyes revealing a coldness.

“You’re right. If this kid works this hard, wouldn’t we look even more useless in front of my wife?”

Murong Changqing, holding a bowl of clear soup noodles, slurped a few mouthfuls and asked the two if they wanted more, only to be met with a shake of their heads.

He put the two bowls of noodles into his own bowl and started eating them heartily.

By the time He Jinnian thought about eating first and then getting things done, it was already too late.

On the stone table, in the bowl, there was nothing but clear soup.

"..."

Pei Yan was the same.

The two looked at each other, then looked down at their stomachs, which were making gurgling noises.

Murong Changqing wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth and stuck out his tongue to lick the bottom of his wrist.

After all that, he let out a satisfied burp.

"Shuchang, next time if you're not hungry, you can tell me first, so I won't have to eat your food."

Pei Yan remained silent, swallowed hard, and ignored the other person.

By this time, Long Jinyan had finally finished chopping the woodpile in the yard.

Those stacks, neatly arranged in the corner of the yard, were like works of art.

This infuriated He Jinnian and Pei Yan, and even Murong Changqing felt that the other party had gone too far.

Chopping wood is fine, but doing it so well is just implying that he and his two older brothers are useless.

Pei Yan suggested that He Jinnian give Long Jinyan more work to do.

He Jinnian chuckled.

“Jinyan, you’re working way too slowly. How many hours have passed since you finished chopping the firewood in the yard?”

"Look around, there aren't many decent tables and chairs in the house. Go and fix them up properly, and don't dawdle any longer."

Long Jinyan turned his head and replied "okay," then got back to work.

The three of them, like princes, calmly watched Long Jinyan bustling about.

They would also point fingers at him from time to time.

……

Fang Xiaoxiao glanced at the herbs in the bamboo basket and mentally calculated how many pills she could make.

Today was quite fruitful; not only did I find a reliable buyer, but I also found a husband who can plow the fields.

The key point is that he's also incredibly handsome and sunny.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad. I'll save up some more money to marry the other three, then open a pharmacy or something, and we can live a pretty good life."

She happily carried the bamboo basket on her back, eager to get home.

Pushing open the door, one sees the same old man in the courtyard, who has even started ordering Long Jinyan around.

This made her want to criticize the people, but she felt it was unnecessary.

Since they're not going to work, they can forget about getting any good food in the future.

Fang Xiaoxiao took out a pastry from her bosom.

She bought this on her way to the government office.

I was thinking of treating myself, but now, of course, I should reward the people who get things done.

She walked up to Long Jinyan and said.

"Take a break first. You've done so much work today. Here, I'll reward you with a piece of pastry."

"Open your mouth, ah..."

Fang Xiaoxiao fed the child as if she were a child, and even opened her mouth herself to demonstrate.

Long Jinyan was deeply moved by her care.
