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

evening.

The people who went to clear land in the valley have finally returned.

Carrying dirty hoes, they were all covered in dust and dirt, but for some reason, no one complained. Instead, a feeling of happiness unconsciously arose in their hearts.

Everyone chatted and laughed as they walked towards the wooden house in the evening glow. Some were discussing what to eat for dinner, while others said they wanted to eat eight bowls of rice.

This remark drew laughter from everyone, but their unconscious licking of their lips betrayed their ulterior motives.

Since eating the food sent by Meng Tong, everyone loved and liked it.

They even felt sorry that Meng Tong had given them such good rice as their food, and they all felt particularly guilty.

Therefore, they work very hard and cherish their hard-won life.

You should know that the situation outside is many times worse.

They were even grateful that they had met Meng Tong.

Everyone's face was beaming with smiles, and Bai Ye, who was walking behind, suddenly tilted his head back and sniffed.

A snow-white blur swept through the bustling crowd, followed by a gust of wind stirred up by the wolves.

"Brother Biao, what's wrong with them?"

"Yes! We were fine just now, but did someone break into our house? Look, there's smoke coming from the chimney over there."

"Damn it, who dares to break into our house?" Wu Biao couldn't see clearly from a distance, especially since Meng Tong and Lu Chuan weren't at the door. Watching the wisps of smoke rise from the chimney, the man's rugged face was filled with anger.

Holding a hoe, Wu Biao pointed to Lian Lang and the others who were following him and said, "You guys come with me first to check the situation. Mingyu, you take the rest of them and hide here for now."

"Okay." With a serious expression, Mingyu gripped Mingmei's hand tightly with his left, who was a little scared. The young man said with a firm look in his eyes, "Brother Biao, be careful. If anything happens, retreat immediately."

As the saying goes, "Where there's life, there's hope."

Mingyu knows when to advance and when to retreat.

With a sneer, Wu Biao's muscles bulged, and the man took the lead, walking ahead.

……

Here.

Unaware that their actions were causing a misunderstanding, Lu Chuan and Meng Tong were still diligently stirring the contents of the pot.

Lu Chuan made a whole big pot of braised pork ribs and braised pork belly, and also added diced potatoes.

The soft potato chunks, coated in the braised pork broth, exude an enticing aroma.

As soon as Bai Ye and the wolves arrived, they fawned over the two of them.

The sound that escaped from his throat threw Wu Biao and his companions, who had just rushed to the courtyard gate, into a state of confusion.

They assumed that Bai Ye and the others had also been beaten by the people who forced their way into the house.

"Brother Biao, what should we do? Did Baihu and the others get beaten up?"

"Nonsense, let's go!"

Wu Biao forcefully pushed away the man who was trying to back out, rolled up his sleeves, grabbed a hoe, and rushed into the house.

"You little brats, who gave you the audacity to..."

"Husband, wife?"

Seeing Meng Tong suddenly appear before him, Wu Biao held up his hoe, neither raising nor lowering it, just as Lian Lang and the others behind him rushed over.

Wu Biao stumbled and lost his balance, and he and several people behind him fell directly in front of Meng Tong.

They fell over in all directions, and some unlucky ones even bumped into the hoe. Luckily, they didn't hit the shovel, or they would have lost a piece of their chin.

Meng Tong could only attribute this sudden scene to their excessive enthusiasm.

Looking around, Meng Tong placed the bowl and chopsticks in her hands on the windowsill, and was about to squat down and pull Wu Biao's arm.

A hand grabbed Wu Biao's collar before he could reach him, and with a slight effort, the burly man, who was over 1.8 meters tall, was lifted up.

Wu Biao stared blankly at the indifferent man who had appeared before him, glancing between Lu Chuan and Meng Tong.

He then made way for Lu Chuan to operate, and within seconds the man who had fallen to the ground was lifted up by him.

They were all stunned and just stared at him.

So it wasn't an intruder, but the lady and her husband who came!

……

Inside the warm, fragrant room, Wu Biao and his companions sat awkwardly in the corner, their stomachs rumbling, their eyes glancing intentionally or unintentionally at the chunks of meat in the iron pot.

"Come and eat! Aren't you hungry?"

"Oh! Thank you, Madam."

Eager to get started, the six people, including Wu Biao, immediately gathered around when they heard Meng Tong's invitation. A large bowl was filled with fragrant rice, topped with soft, sticky potato chunks and large pieces of meat, and thick broth was poured over the rice. Taking a bite was simply irresistible.

Regardless of whether they had washed their hands or not, the six people, some squatting and some standing, just kept eating.

They completely forgot about Mingyu and the others who were feeding mosquitoes.

It wasn't until Meng Tong spoke up and asked, "Where are the others? Why haven't they come back yet? Are you going back in batches?"

"Ah, who is Madam referring to?"

With his mouth full of rice and chunks of meat, Wu Biao looked up at Meng Tong with a bewildered expression.

He was stunned for a full six seconds before he slowly came to his senses.

"Um... I'll go see if they're back yet? They walk so slowly, no wonder they can't get a hot meal."

"Brother Biao, who are you saying walks slowly?"

Pushing open the door, the flickering firelight illuminated the faces of more than a dozen people.

It was shiny and oily, but also exuded an aura of anger.

Meng Tong and Lu Chuan immediately noticed the oddity of the situation. They exchanged a glance and then lowered their heads to continue eating.

Let them handle their own affairs.

……

It's unclear what Wu Biao said, but it took a full five minutes to coax the group who had been suffering from mosquito bites for so long.

The anger came and went quickly, and in the blink of an eye, everyone was together again.

As they ate the hot food in their bowls, the way everyone looked at Lu Chuan was no longer one of apprehension and fear.

A few cheerful and joking people even came over to ask him gossip about him and Meng Tong.

Wu Biao was one of them.

Wu Biao patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder casually and whispered in Lu Chuan's ear, "Brother, what good fortune did you have to marry such a wonderful wife?"

"Why don't you pass on your experience to the brothers? My Wu family line is almost dying out, and I'd like to find a wife as capable as her."

Upon hearing Wu Biao's words, Lu Chuan couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

The man's deep, dark eyes swept over Meng Tong, who was talking to Mingyu about the seeds. After a long silence, he chuckled softly, "I just got lucky."

"Which pile of dog poop did you step in, bro? Let me go too..."

"Pfft, Brother Biao, what are you saying! You actually took Brother Renchuan's modesty seriously."

Lian Lang, who was listening nearby, burst out laughing.

The boy's laughter was loud, but it didn't seem annoying.

Especially his greeting "Brother Chuan" and the enthusiasm he exudes.

This gave Lu Chuan, who had been playing the fool for over twenty years, a novel experience.

To be honest, he never had any friends growing up, and everyone called him an idiot.

Although he didn't care, it did leave a potential shadow on Lu Chuan.

In particular, Lu Feng and Lu Qian were both called "brother" by their younger children.

That kind of worship and following was something he had never experienced before.
