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

The carriage swayed and rattled for less than an hour before arriving directly at the brick kiln.

Liu Xiong, who was leading a group of people out of the courtyard, spotted Meng Tong at a glance.

A surprised smile appeared on his face. He then took a few steps down the steps, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Madam, you've arrived."

"Um, where are you all headed?"

As Meng Tong stepped down from the carriage shaft, he turned around and lifted the three little ones out of the carriage while asking questions.

Liu Xiong also rushed over to help, and said with a smile, "Aren't we taking these guys out for some exercise? Is Madam here to see Brother Chuan?"

After Lu Chuan stayed in town for a few days, everyone started calling him Brother Chuan.

They all got along very well, and they would ask Lu Chuan for his opinion on anything. Over time, they became good friends.

The atmosphere was great.

Seeing the hopeful smile on his face, and the row of young people behind him who volunteered to help, Meng Tong was also infected by the atmosphere.

Her smile widened as she picked up the swaying, still-unconscious Lu Huai. The little guy was clearly not fully awake yet.

Nestled in her mother's arms, she fell asleep again. Lu He and Lu Yan each held onto the woman's clothes, their big eyes fixed on Liu Xiong.

After exchanging a few words with Liu Xiong, he found a young man to drive a horse-drawn carriage and take them to the place where they worked in Luchuan.

It turns out that in order to save travel time, they simply moved there to eat and live.

Walking towards the end of town, about fifteen minutes past the brick kiln, the carriage stopped in front of a newly built house.

"Madam has arrived. Shall I go in and inform Brother Chuan?"

"No need, you can go back first!"

“That won’t do. My uncle said we have to get Madam to Brother Chuan safely.”

The boy was Liu Xiong's nephew, Liu Xing. He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a sturdy build and clear, bright eyes. He seemed like an honest kid.

After helping Lu He and Lu Yan down, the young man turned around and ran over to park the carriage in an open space in front of the mansion.

Then she ran behind Meng Tong.

Liu Xing exchanged a glance with the chubby baby who had just woken up in the woman's arms, flashing a憨憨 (simple and honest) smile and a set of white teeth, then asked Meng Tong, "Madam, would you like me to hold the young master? I want to see him..."

"No, no, I don't want him to hug me."

The little guy was very clever; he saw right through what Liu Xing was going to say, bared his teeth at him in a cute but fierce way, and then huddled his head against the woman's neck, not even glancing at the embarrassed, blushing boy behind him.

Meng Tong found it somewhat amusing, smiled and nodded at Liu Xing, and then they entered the courtyard together.

The courtyard was very large; upon entering, there was a large open space that could accommodate dozens of horse-drawn carriages, paved with bricks and kept very clean.

Upon arriving in town, the Lu sisters, Lu He and Lu Yan, were so excited that they ran straight inside without needing anyone to guide them.

Stepping through a wooden gate and continuing inside, Meng Tong looked around as she went.

As expected of the person who understands her best, Lu Chuan perfectly replicated the image in her mind.

Her plan is to build a grain depot so that the harvested grains from villages like Xiangshui and Zhujia can be stored here in the future.

Inside the wooden doors were dedicated drying yards, mills, warehouses for storing grain, and even offices belonging to each village.

Because it wasn't fully built yet, Meng Tong only got a general view before seeing Lu Chuan running down from the roof beams.

The Lu sisters, Lu He and Lu Yan, who had already run in, were each held in the man's arms. He strode towards the woman, his dark eyes full of smiles.

"My wife, you've finally come. I thought you'd forgotten about me."

Before he arrived, his words preceded his arrival. Lu Chuan's words were filled with deep resentment, but a young man behind him spoke up untimely, "Brother Chuan, I've brought your wife over, so I'll be leaving now."

"Okay, please give my regards to Xiong Ge."

"okay!"

The boy scratched his head sheepishly, revealing a set of white teeth, then turned and ran off.

Meng Tong was a rare person to encounter such a simple and innocent person; the woman's eyes and brows couldn't stop smiling.

Lu Chuan stopped in front of the woman, put the two sisters down, and then took the little one who was clinging to Meng Tong down as well.

"I want my mother to hug me."

"No, I haven't hugged her yet!"

He ruthlessly took the little one down and shoved him into his daughter's arms.

He lowered his eyes and patted Lu He's little head, saying, "Take your little brother over to play. Daddy and your mother have something to discuss."

“…Okay.”

After hesitatingly glancing up at their "honest" father, the two sisters nodded without hesitation.

Then she took her little brother, who was as thin as an eel, to a corner to play.

"What are you doing! I just came here to... um."

A cool sensation touched her lips, followed by a tight embrace around her waist as the man's steely arms held her firmly.

A strong sense of longing was conveyed to her through the sticky, lingering touch on her lips.

The hormonal scent filling his nasal cavity caused Meng Tong's mind to go blank for a moment, until the tingling pain on his tongue pulled him back to reality.

"What... are you doing! In broad daylight... um."

"My lady, I miss you so much."

Reluctantly releasing the woman's jelly-like red lips, the man, panting heavily, pressed his forehead against hers.

His eyes were intense and honest, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

Meng Tong glanced around and only breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see anyone nearby.

She pressed against the man's burning chest and pushed him away.

Meng Tong glared at Lu Chuan and whispered, "It's not good if someone sees us. Let's go home together tonight."

Lu Chuan was initially a little disappointed upon hearing the first sentence!

He was missing his wife so much he was practically in pain, and then his wife casually said something like that.

However, upon hearing the last sentence, Lu Chuan's deep eyes instantly brightened, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

Hiss... He knew it was impossible not to think about it.

Meng Tong felt a little embarrassed as her cheeks flushed.

Actually, this is quite normal, and it's normal for her to have needs, but Lu Chuan's intense gaze made her a little flustered.

Lu Chuan took the woman's small hand and gently stroked it. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Okay, let's go back tonight."

He didn't bother her any further. Lu Chuan knew what kind of person his wife was, and it was already quite kind of her to say such a thing.

Suppressing their excitement, the two walked towards the three sisters who were still clueless in the corner.

"Mother, why is your face red?"

"No, it's okay, I'm just a little hot from wearing too many clothes."

"Oh~"

"Let's go back inside, it's cold outside."

Holding Meng Tong's hand with one hand, Lu Chuan picked up the leg ornament with the other, while the Lu sisters, Lu He and Lu Yan, each held Meng Tong's hand and tugged at Lu Chuan's clothes.

They skipped and hopped towards the man's residence inside.

Zhou Song and the others who passed by simply smiled and greeted them, their eyes revealing only envy.

When will I finally have a sweet and soft wife?!
