Farming with kids: My deceased husband returns and I spoil him rotten.

Unfortunately, since he hadn't found the person before, he no longer believed Gu Wangshi's words.

"If that's the case, then why didn't I see anyone? Or did she hide them?"

"This was told to me by someone else. If I had really seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't need to come to you. I would have just thrown that shameless woman into a pig cage."

Upon hearing this, Shang Qing frowned and reached out to comfort the child beside her, only to feel a slight force from her side.

"Mom, it's so noisy, I want to sleep a little longer."

"Pan'er, drink some water first, otherwise your throat will hurt later."

Gu Pan'er nodded obediently, then sat up with her usual energy, took a few sips, pushed the bowl of water away, and curled up into a ball to sleep again.

Once everyone was sound asleep, she placed her hand on their forehead again to confirm that their temperature had dropped. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and slowly walk out of the house, looking at Liu Bazi, who was standing in the yard with a hesitant expression.

Their eyes met, but he lowered his head guiltily because of his earlier suspicion.

"Just now……"

"Is she still at the door?"

Liu Bazi immediately shook his head, and even opened the door behind him, revealing the empty dirt road behind him, before turning his gaze back to Shang Qing.

Seeing that the other party remained expressionless, he began to reflect on why he had believed Gu Wangshi's one-sided story.

Shang Qing had been observing Liu Bazi, and seeing that he remained silent for a long time, she had no choice but to speak first.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Those rumors are unfounded."

"Haha, of course. I was just worried and confused. After all, if you and I were to work together and you suddenly ran off with someone else, I would also suffer a loss."

Anyone else would have believed it.

But Shang Qing didn't miss the fleeting tension in his eyes. She smiled and gestured for him to sit down at the door.

"Since you say so, then the things I got must sell well."

"Of course, some things are sold out as soon as they are acquired."

Since that's the case, then we have to bleed again.

Shang Qing turned his gaze to Liu Bazi, looking at him with a half-smile.

If Madam Gu were to discover her appearance, she would surely assume that she had already fallen in love with him and was preparing to marry him herself, taking her child with her.

But Liu Bazi wasn't stupid. He knew that Shang Qing's burning gaze wasn't because of him, but because of the bulging money bag he had after selling the goods.

“I almost forgot, these things are so popular, so... I hope you won’t give them to other peddlers, and that I can sell them all.”

"It's not impossible, but the price wouldn't be right."

Liu Bazi nodded and willingly took out his money pouch and handed it over.

Once the goods arrived, Shang Qing counted them and realized that they weren't all of the items, but the quantity was sufficient.

"Will it always be like this?"

"Of course, but it's not convenient for you to ask for money while you're with the child. Would it be better if I brought it to you each time?"

She did not refuse, nodded, and then stood up with a smile.

Liu Bazi thought this was Shang Qing's plan, but after waiting for a long time, he finally saw her leading three children out.

What are you doing?

"I did go to the bamboo forest today, but that was just to get some food for the children. However, Pan'er was accidentally bitten by a snake. I was just about to ask you for some money, though I know it's difficult to ask."

Shang Qing forced a bitter smile, but then glanced at the money pouch in Gu Nian'er's arms and walked outside.

Noticing that the person behind her wanted to help, she quickened her pace and threw the person behind her.

Only when there was no sound from anyone else behind him did he slow down, letting Gu Nian'er hold his clothes as he walked towards the door of the village's barefoot doctor.

A moment later, he slowly walked back to the courtyard with several doses of medicine.

At this time, Liu Bazi was no longer in the courtyard, and the already dilapidated gate was left ajar.

Shang Qing didn't pay much attention to it, immediately put the food into a pot, boiled it, and fed it to the child.

The next day.

Worried that her return might cause further trouble, she didn't sleep well.

Just as Shang Qing was finally getting sleepy and preparing to fall asleep, she heard some noises coming from the doorway, making it impossible for her to fall asleep again.

Since she was already in this state, she didn't want to lie there any longer, so she might as well hurry up and deal with the things she had brought back.

She did what she wanted to do, but when Shang Qing tiptoed to the door, she realized that the noise was not from someone passing by, but from two wild rabbits with their limbs tied up struggling against the door.

She looked around but couldn't find anyone, so she guessed that this might be a gift from someone and took it directly into the kitchen.

Thinking about what happened yesterday, and worried that the person had just come to deliver something, Shang Qing turned around and walked towards the house where the two of them were staying, and couldn't help but take two steps in that direction.

But before his hand could get close, he heard a suppressed cough coming from inside.

Understanding that this was a signal from the other party, he nodded, went back into the kitchen, and quickly cooked the two rabbits into a delicious dish.

The large pot was divided into two bowls and sent to two separate rooms.

However, when Shang Qing walked to the side room, he did not stop at the door, but went straight into the room.

Lao Zong wasn't surprised to see her enter the room, but he glanced outside as the door closed to make sure the courtyard gate was bolted before looking away.

"How is your brother? And thank you for going out of your way to get these."

"He remains unconscious and even has a slight fever. Does your sister-in-law have any other options?"

Shang Qing frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally reached out to grasp the other person's pulse and forehead.

Having determined that the man's temperature was likely due to interference from the wound, she couldn't help but turn her gaze back to the system.

But those groundbreaking drugs were far too expensive and not so easy to obtain.

Shang Qing didn't know how to obtain the medicinal herbs, so her brows furrowed naturally. After a long while, she remembered that there was another man there, and looked up at him.

Noticing her gaze, Lao Zong thought something was wrong and was about to ask when he heard her question.

Are you familiar with herbs?

"I know a little about wound medicine. As for other medicines, I can probably find them based on your description, sister-in-law."

Shang Qing nodded, and then explained the other party's situation.

"It's just a slight fever. Please wipe it with warm water, avoiding the wound. Afterwards, could you please help me bring back the bamboo from yesterday?"

Lao Zong was also taken aback, clearly thinking of the bamboo he had thrown into the bamboo forest yesterday. He smiled apologetically and then wanted to go out to look for it.

But before he could even step out of the room, Shang Qing called him back again.

"Going to get the bamboo is just a side trip; I also need you to go to the back mountain to pick angelica."

"Baizhi?"

Seeing the doubt in Lao Zong's eyes, Shang Qing assumed that he didn't recognize Bai Zhi and could only describe her appearance softly.

Only after the other party nodded did he turn around and walk back to the kitchen.
