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

After washing up, Meng Tong didn't leave the kitchen; she stayed inside to help Lu Chuan.

The newly built stove had just been turned on when Meng Tong found a new pot from her spatial storage to use with it. These past two days, Lu Chuan would season the pot with oil before cooking.

Meng Tong found it novel and stood aside watching. Every now and then she would grab the spatula and try to cook it herself. Lu Chuan was not angry, but only told her, "Be careful not to get splattered with oil."

Meng Tong replied, "I understand."

She stared intently at the oil pan, enjoying the sensation of the oil sliding up and down its surface.

Lu Chuan was picking vegetables on the side when he glanced at Meng Tong's rare display of childlike innocence. A slight smile curved the corners of his lips, and his dark eyes were full of doting affection.

Not long after, Lu He and Lu Yan woke up, and the two little ones got dressed and ran in to find Meng Tong.

The mother and her two daughters had no choice but to be "kicked" out of the kitchen by Lu Chuan.

Originally, Meng Tong intended to pour water for the two little ones to wash their faces, but Lu Yan said her head was a little itchy, so Meng Tong simply washed the sisters' hair in the yard.

The morning sun had already risen, and the temperature was neither too hot nor too cold. Lu He and Lu Yan were squatting obediently by the drainage ditch in the yard, while Meng Tong sat on a stool washing the two little ones' hair.

With improved nutrition over the past few months, the two little ones' hair is no longer dry and yellow, especially after using Mengtong Space shampoo.

Now their hair is black and shiny, which is pleasing to the eye, and the lice they used to have are gone.

……

living room.

Lu Chuan made six dishes today: braised pork, garlic eggplant, tomato and egg soup, braised noodles with green beans, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and smashed cucumber.

Most of the vegetables were planted by Meng Tong in the field. The family of four couldn't finish eating all the vegetables from the more than one acre of land.

Meng Tong picked a lot and stored them in the space to keep them fresh. He kept some in the ground to make seeds, mainly to see if there was any difference between them and the original seeds.

"You two stay home for a while. Your mother and I have something to do and need to go out."

"Huh? Father, where are you going?"

Lu Yan, who was enjoying her meal, looked up at Lu Chuan, and tears welled up in her big eyes again.

Lu He, who was standing to the side, also stopped eating and turned to Meng Tong, asking, "Where is Mother going? Can't you take me and my sister with you?"

"Don't worry, your mother and father won't go to dangerous places. You and Yan'er stay at home. Your mother and father will be back soon."

Meng Tong patted Lu He's head reassuringly and said.

"Alright then! My sister and I will wait for Mom and Dad at home."

"You guys should come back soon!"

"Good~"

Seeing Lu Chuan's calm demeanor, Lu He and Lu Yan felt much more at ease, knowing that their father wouldn't take their mother to a dangerous place.

After finishing his meal, Lu Chuan called over Bai Ye, who was sleeping in the cave, and asked it to help watch over the two children.

He then followed Meng Tong toward the cave.

When they arrived at the cave entrance, Meng Tong stopped. Lu Chuan was a little confused, but he didn't ask any questions.

Holding his machete, he watched as Meng Tong stood strangely in front of the protruding wall.

"Clang clang."

Suddenly the wall moved. Lu Chuan took a step and pulled Meng Tong's body over, his dark eyes fixed on the narrow path that had turned away.

"Don't be afraid, let's go!"

“Wife…” Lu Chuan pulled Meng Tong back as she was about to go inside, licked his lips, and took two steps forward, saying, “I’ll go first, you follow behind.”

"Row."

Meng Tong agreed without hesitation, since she had already gone through it all.

Holding Meng Tong's right hand with his left, Lu Chuan walked towards the path, while Lu Chuan, holding a machete in his right hand, probed ahead.

Upon arriving at the cave behind the waterfall, Lu Chuan's eyes flashed with shock. He turned to Meng Tong and asked, "Is this the place my wife is talking about?"

"Of course not, come with me! I've been there before, don't be afraid, there's nothing there."

"Is...it feasible?"

Lu Chuan hesitated for a moment, but gave in after meeting Meng Tong's gaze.

"Let's go!"

"Ah."

The two went through the iron gate that Meng Tong had come out of yesterday, and then she took out her flashlight from her spatial storage.

"This is……"

"The things inside the artifact are illuminated."

As Meng Tong opened the door, Lu Chuan's eyes lit up, and he instantly saw the situation inside the cave.

But he wasn't interested in the cave; instead, he stared intently at the flashlight in Meng Tong's hand.

"Wife, may I take a look?" he asked, pointing to the flashlight.

“Sure, here you go.” Meng Tong handed him the flashlight and then walked towards the stone steps, saying, “Follow me, there’s a surprise down there.”

"it is good."

A surge of excitement welled up inside him. Holding a flashlight in one hand and a machete in the other, Lu Chuan followed Meng Tong directly to the cave where the books were kept.

When Lu Chuan saw the egg-sized luminous pearl on the cave ceiling, he could no longer remain calm.

"This is... a luminous pearl."

“Yes, there are many more below,” Meng Tong replied. “Take a look at these books.”

Picking up a book and handing it to Lu Chuan, Meng Tong looked at him and asked, "Have you ever heard of any emperor who created enormous wealth?"

"...Never heard of it."

The man pondered as he flipped through the book.

Although he was simple-minded as a child, besides hunting, he was also quite outstanding in reading; he could memorize things in one go, even if others had to memorize them three times.

He can learn a character in one try, even if it takes others three tries.

Grandma Lu was even happy about this for a while! She felt that her son was promising.

But after less than half a year of learning, Old Man Lu stopped him from continuing his studies.

It's said that even if someone is a fool and can read, they won't amount to much. They'd be better off practicing their hunting skills to earn more money for their family so they can send Lu Feng and Lu Qian to private school.

At that time, Lu Chuan did not resist; in his eyes, reading was just a hobby.

He preferred hunting and being with animals.

After glancing at the annotations on the two pages of the book, Lu Chuan frowned and put it back exactly as it was.

He looked up at Meng Tong and said, "Wife, let's go down and look at the others!"

"……it is good."

As they continued walking, Meng Tong asked Lu Chuan several questions, and his answer was always the same: he had never heard of it.

Meng Tong couldn't help but have some doubts. Could it be that it wasn't something from the royal family, but rather belonged to some secret family?

But whoever it is, from now on it belongs to her.

Upon arriving at the cave containing the precious medicinal herbs, Lu Chuan was already prepared, and his surprise from before had subsided considerably.

Watching Meng Tong wave her hand and put everything into her spatial storage, the man just blinked and didn't say anything more.

He remained quite composed, and Meng Tong continued to lead him down the path.

This time, he couldn't hold back any longer; Lu Chuan had never seen so much gold and silver jewelry before.

"This, this... this is too much!"

"Is it a lot?" Meng Tong waved his hand and put it all back into his spatial storage, completely forgetting his surprise when he saw it.

He's on par with Lu Chuan.

"My wife, isn't this a bit too much..."

"Who would know we took it? Even if they did, where's the evidence? Where's the stuff?"

Meng Tong acted as if he were a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.
