Divorced woman with child travels through time

"Okay!" Chen Xuanyu said sullenly. Although he was a little sad about parting, it wasn't much. He kept sorting his toys. He liked this little wooden sword, so he decided to keep it.

"Sigh!" Xiao Bo sighed and looked at Xiao Hao, instructing him, "Keep an eye on him and make him worry less. I heard he beat up the chubby pork seller the day before yesterday. It's a good thing he didn't tell on him."

"I know!" Xiao Hao replied truthfully, blinking his big eyes without telling him that he had specifically gone to warn the chubby boy, because he had bullied someone else's child and hadn't even admitted his mistake after being hit.

"And you, eat less! You've gotten so fat!" Xiao Bo pinched Shiwu's chubby cheeks.

"My godmother says I'm not fat, this is just right!" Fifteen disliked his lecturing and privately called him "little old man."

"She doesn't want to say anything to you, but haven't you noticed how big your belly is?" Xiao Bo said, heartbroken.

"Uh!" Fifteen looked at her slightly protruding belly, then at the two beside her, and it did seem a little bit there. "Okay, I get it! Brother, are you reluctant to let us go? Why don't you come with us!"

He leaned closer, his soft, big eyes looking at him with a watery gaze.

Xiao Bo's heart softened again and again. He patted the boy's fluffy head and said, "I'm an adult now. My parents are here, and I have to help them. I can't go anymore. You have to be good from now on, and treat your godmother well when you grow up."

He's recently been helping Aunt Hu with receiving goods and has taken charge of things.

"I understand." Fifteen nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Alright, everything's packed, let's get ready to go!" Chen Wenfang called out to them as she walked over.

"Wait!" Chen Xuanyu grabbed the somewhat dejected Xiao Bo and handed him a purse. "Open it after I leave."

"it is good."

Chen Wenfang followed Wang Erniu into the carriage, and the children also got on, waving goodbye to Aunt Hu from afar.

"What did he leave you? Open it and see!" Aunt Hu wiped away her tears and hugged the box tightly. Inside were 30,000 taels of silver notes. This silly girl just gave them to her like that.

"Oh." Xiao Bo opened his purse, and inside were two one-hundred-tael silver notes. He wondered when Chen Xuanyu had saved them up.

Xiao Bo's eyes instantly welled up with tears. This child, so young, already knows how to take care of others.

Aunt Hu also burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. Old Man Hu secretly wiped away his tears and helped his wife, saying, "Go inside. You're the housekeeper now, don't let people laugh at you."

Aunt Hu leaned on his shoulder and wept silently.

Juan'er, caught up in everyone's emotions, also started to cry, but she forced herself to look at the departing carriage and wave goodbye.

Chen Wenfang was also a little sad, as this reminded her of how her mother was reluctant to let her go when she went out to work in her previous life.

Seeing this, Wang Erniu embraced her and tenderly patted her back.

As soon as the carriage left the militia headquarters, it encountered countless people who came to see it off. The people spontaneously stood on both sides of the road, holding the fruits and vegetables they had grown themselves, their eyes filled with reluctance. In the crowd, an old man carrying a basket of eggs walked shakily to the carriage, saying, "Madam Chen, these are eggs laid by our own chickens. Take them with you to eat on the way."

Chen Wenfang's eyes reddened. It was the old man who bought lychees from him on their first meeting. "Grandpa, I appreciate your kindness, but you don't need to give me anything. The carriage is bumpy, and the eggs will spoil easily. Please keep them for yourself and take care of yourself."

"You should keep it for yourself, you've had it so hard."

"How can this be allowed!" The old man wiped away his tears as Magistrate Zheng pulled him aside.

"Don't bother seeing me off, everyone. Just please support Chen's business in the future. Thank you for coming to see me!" Chen Wenfang and Wang Erniu stood beside the carriage, trying their best to persuade the people to leave. The road was already congested, and they could hardly pass.

"Come, come, thank you all for coming to see our boss! Please make way for the carriage." Guidi pulled the shop's female workers out to maintain order and kept persuading people to leave.

The crowd gradually parted to make way for the carriage, which slowly passed through.

Chen Wenfang kept saying goodbye to the people.

At this moment, Magistrate Zheng and Assistant Magistrate Lou also stepped forward. Magistrate Zheng smiled and said, "Madam Chen, Brother Wang, your departure is truly a great loss to our county, but we wish you all the best while you are away. We wish Brother Wang a bright future, and our Zheng family will spare no effort to help him." Assistant Magistrate Lou echoed his sentiments.

"Thank you both very much, take care!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Wang Xiaoguang and Caiyun stood to one side, watching the carriage slowly start moving. The people followed for quite a distance until the carriage was out of sight before gradually dispersing.

The two of them were left behind. Wang Xiaoguang never expected that he would be assigned to Wang Erniu's position as a captain. He was also given 30,000 taels of silver. Wang Erniu had taken more than 2,000 men with him this time, leaving him with only a few hundred. He told Wang Xiaoguang and Caiyun to make sure they recruited 3,000 soldiers, and if possible, a women's army would also be acceptable.

"Let's go, are you feeling better?" Wang Xiaoguang asked Caiyun.

"Almost there, still a little itchy, but nothing serious. How are you? Any plans?"

The two walked slowly, discussing the next steps of conscription.

Chen Wenfang leaned against Wang Erniu's chest, watching the county town gradually recede into the distance. The road was full of merchant carts coming to buy goods. Her heart was filled with emotion. When they came to Huian County, it was dilapidated, but now it was completely transformed. The GDP must have increased significantly, at least they could collect taxes, and many more people had jobs. Could she be considered to have succeeded in poverty alleviation? In any case, she had come here and made many people's lives better, hadn't she?

Chen Wenfang smiled with satisfaction. "I'm so awesome! Haha..."

Wang Erniu looked at his wife, who was secretly laughing in his arms, and smiled with a mixture of affection and helplessness. He stroked her hair and wondered what she was thinking about that made her so happy.

The carriage arrived smoothly in Quanzhou City.

As soon as they saw the city gate, they spotted Ouyang Junyan and Madam Jiang coming to greet them from afar, along with the still beautiful and charming Jiang Mingxin.

"Brother Wang, it's been a long time!"

"Long time no see! Thank you all!" Wang Erniu bowed to them as soon as he got off the car. He was able to be promoted to general this time mainly because of the help from their two families.

"Not at all, Brother Wang, please!" Ouyang Junyan couldn't stop smiling; his patron had arrived.

Wang Erniu suddenly noticed a man standing beside him, clearly looking at him with anger. The man was wearing a general's armor, and it was brand new, gleaming armor, so he shouldn't be his subordinate.

"And who is this?" Wang Erniu raised an eyebrow and looked directly at him.

"Ah~ This is the Quanzhou Commandant who is about to leave his post, and he just happens to be leaving the city today!" Ouyang Junyan smiled awkwardly. This General He insisted on waiting to see Wang Erniu before leaving. Wasn't he just deliberately causing trouble?
