Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

The next day.

As dawn broke, sunlight streamed through the cracks in the door into the wooden house, casting dappled, iridescent halos.

Opening her misty eyes, Meng Tong subconsciously raised her hand to rub her temples, then propped herself up on the edge of the bed with her right hand.

After casually glancing around the room, Lu Huai was not on the bamboo bed, and Lu Chuan had already gotten up and left.

Meng Tong grabbed a dress from the hanger, put it on, bent down, put on her shoes, and got out of bed.

After unlatching the door, Meng Tong first went to Lu He and Lu Yan's small wooden house, but when she opened the door, she couldn't find them anywhere.

He muttered to himself, "Where did everyone go?"

He then turned and left the wooden house, raising his hand to shield his eyes from the glaring sunlight as he looked toward the village.

We didn't see Lu Chuan and his men, but we heard a series of clanging sounds.

Meng Tong casually tied her smooth, black hair up with a cloth strip and walked toward the direction from which the sound came.

After passing the village chief's house, there was a small, protruding hillside where Meng Tong saw Lu Chuan working with a hammer, and the Lu sisters, Lu He and Lu Yan, squatting nearby picking up stones. As for Lu Huai, he was curled up on a small wooden bed that Lu Chuan had made.

"What is this for?"

"My wife is awake." Lu Chuan put down the hammer and said with a smile, "These stones are embedded in the ground, making it inconvenient to walk back and forth. I was thinking of knocking them down to level them out."

"Hmm." He nodded, glancing at the stone that Lu Chuan had already chipped away at, and the originally uneven ground had become quite smooth.

Meng Tong originally wanted to suggest that they could pry the stones out directly, but after looking at them, she thought that this was also a good idea. Leaving the stones in the ground could stabilize the ground, and it just so happened that this was only a small path.

"You guys get on with it, I'll go back and cook."

"Okay, wife, just prepare the ingredients first, I'll cook them in a bit."

"Ah."

After patting the obedient Lu He and Lu Yan sisters who were working alongside her, Meng Tong carried Lu Huai, who was making "ah ah" noises, back to the cabin.

First, he put the little guy on the bamboo bed to lie down and play, while Meng Tong started a fire to boil water.

After a quick wash, I rinsed the rice in the pot and started cooking it. Next, I washed the vegetables and meat.

After everything was prepared, Lu Chuan returned with the Lu sisters, Lu He and Lu Yan.

The three men had fine beads of sweat on their faces, and their hands and bodies were covered in dust.

"Wash your face and hands first!"

As she spoke, Meng Tong picked up a wooden basin standing to the side, poured a pot of hot water into it, and Lu Chuan added some cold water.

"He'er and Yan'er, come and wash your face and hands."

"Okay! Coming!"

The two sisters ran out of the wooden house and squatted down beside Lu Chuan.

……

With just three simple dishes and a soup, plus some stomach-soothing red date rice porridge, Meng Tong ate two whole bowls of rice before she felt full.

Lu Chuan looked at Meng Tong, who was enjoying herself with her eyes half-closed. A smile flashed in the man's deep, dark eyes, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.

As he got up to clear the dishes, Lu Chuan glanced at Meng Tong and said gently, "Wife, how about giving Huai'er a bath later?"

"Great! It's been two days since I gave this kid a bath."

As soon as Lu Chuan mentioned it, Meng Tong sat up straight and got to work immediately. Before the fire went out, he boiled a large pot of water on it.

The Lu sisters, Lu He and Lu Yan, had already gone back inside to practice calligraphy, leaving only Meng Tong and Lu Chuan outside the door.

The man squatted beside a wooden basin filled with bowls and chopsticks, while the woman rested in a recliner.

Under the bright sunlight, the man was wearing a gray-blue short-sleeved shirt. Because he was washing dishes, Lu Chuan rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong forearms and his muscular waist as he bent over.

From Meng Tong's perspective, the man's perfect profile and sexy physique presented a challenge for her.

"Wife, what are you looking at?"

"Huh? I didn't see anything. Is the hot water on the stove almost ready? I'll go get Huai'er's bathtub."

A hint of embarrassment and shyness appeared on her pretty, bright face. She blinked her beautiful eyes twice and then got up and went into the wooden house.

As for Lu Chuan, he stared intently at her back with his dark, deep eyes.

A playful chuckle escaped his throat as Lu Chuan lowered his eyes and continued his work.

In fact, he couldn't ignore Meng Tong's burning gaze just now, and if he looked at it a couple more times, he felt that he probably wouldn't be able to hold on.

It was just a casual teasing remark; I didn't expect my wife to be so shy.

The man seemed to have discovered something extraordinary; his eyes were full of laughter.

……

In the room.

In just a few seconds, Meng Tong regained his usual calm and collected demeanor.

After carrying the bathtub and Lu Huai out, Meng Tong first took off the clothes of the little guy in her arms.

"Ah ah ah."

Take a bath.

Waving her little arms excitedly, Lu Huaiqing's clear voice rang out, her delicate and lovely little face full of smiles.

"Alright, alright, I know you're excited, but don't get excited yet. Let Mommy take your clothes off, okay?"

"Ah!"

Okay!

She nestled obediently on Meng Tong's lap, remaining calm no matter how much she turned over.

Finally, his fair and tender little body was revealed in the sunlight.

The water and land transportation is ready, and the temperature is just right.

"go in!"

They picked up the little one and put him in the bathtub. As soon as he touched the water, he clapped his little hands happily, getting Lu Chuan and Meng Tong all wet.

Neither of them said anything, their faces showing helpless smiles.

One person held Lu Huai's hand and carefully washed him, while the little guy leaned against the edge of the basin, enjoying the experience.

This is simply divine treatment.

It took about 45 minutes to finish bathing Lu Huai. Meng Tong carried him back to the room to get dressed, while Lu Chuan cleaned up the rest of the house.

In just a short while, the area around the bathtub was all wet.

……

After eating and drinking his fill and taking a refreshing shower, Lu Huai fell asleep contentedly.

It was already afternoon, and since there was nothing to do today, Meng Tong also took a nap on the bed.

Lu Chuan didn't have the habit of taking afternoon naps. After cleaning the house inside and out, the man carried a basket and a machete on his back and went up the mountain.

The man didn't return until nearly evening, carrying a lot of things on his back.

There were tender wild vegetables just sprouting, as well as roe deer and pheasants caught while hunting.

All are fresh.

After cleaning them all by the well, Meng Tong put them into his spatial storage.

Now their family has no shortage of meat.

As night fell, the family had a simple dinner and then went to their respective rooms to rest.

After washing up and changing into a close-fitting nightgown, Meng Tong lay down against the headboard, a bright luminous pearl hanging above her head.

The woman bent over, holding a notebook and a ballpoint pen in her hands.

These are all things from her online space.

Lu Chuan, returning from his shower, was greeted by this tranquil scene as he diligently wrote and drew in his notebook with his eyes lowered.

The man approached Meng Tong with quiet footsteps, his damp and chilly aura filling her nostrils.
