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

Shang Qing took out all the money he had left, glanced at his aunt, picked it up with one hand, and quickly placed the copper coins on the stone mill to the side with the other.

In an effort to buy time, they even deliberately stuck two of them in the hole.

Having done all this, she grinned at her aunt, then quickly ran back carrying a pot that wasn't heavy, but wasn't light either.

When the two children saw Shang Qing return, they immediately let out a soft exclamation and then handed her the roasted wild vegetables, which had even cooled down.

"Mother, eat."

"Okay, but you'll have to wait for me to put the things down first."

Gu Pan'er noticed that her hands, which had turned white from the rope, immediately took the pot and carefully gestured on the stone slab.

Once you've confirmed that the size is about right, pull up some of the dense weeds on the ground to wrap around the edges, and then place the stone slab aside.

“I can do these things too, so you don’t need to take the risk.”

"Oh right, go wash your faces, and Mom will make you something to eat."

After the two children left, she took out the eggs she had hidden in her bosom, washed them with clean water, and threw them into the pot of boiling water.

Just as the water was about to boil, I suddenly heard the sound of clothes rubbing against grass behind me.

Worried that a villain might approach, Shang Qing pulled out the thickest fire poker to smash it, but then turned around and saw that he recognized Lao Zong, so he forcibly stopped.

"How come you walk so quietly? Aren't you worried people will mistake you for a thief?"

"I'm sorry." Lao Zong looked at the fire poker still flaming, and even someone as skilled in martial arts as him couldn't help but swallow hard. He then pointed to the woodshed, "My brother is looking for you, can you go see him?"

Noticing Lao Zong's grave expression, she assumed his condition had worsened and dropped the wooden stick in her hand, running out.

However, upon opening the door and seeing the man leaning against the straw, she realized that things weren't so simple, and he might still be there to ask for money.

"What can I do for you? If it's not urgent, I'm very busy preparing meals for my child."

"Thank you for saving me, madam. I recovered more than half a day after taking that ginseng. I hope to buy some more medicine from you to treat my internal injuries."

"Medicine? I probably can't agree to that. I only have one of those pills."

Although it can still be exchanged, having too much of this stuff is a disaster.

Before she has the ability to protect herself, she doesn't want to do anything that would harm herself or even implicate her family.

Unexpectedly, Shang Qing said that. Gu Yu nodded, then seemed to remember something and took out some loose silver that he carried with him.

"What do you want me to do? Ask me to help you buy things, or are you asking me to furnish your rooms?"

"No need, this is the money we're borrowing to stay with you. It might be a while before we need to stay here, so we hope you won't find it troublesome."

The temporary accommodation fee was just enough to solve her immediate problem.

Shang Qing was about to thank him, but then felt that it was something he deserved, so he withdrew his smile, stood up, and was about to leave.

"By the way, if there's anything else you want to eat that's inconvenient to go out for, you can give me some money and I'll buy it and cook it for you."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, my wife."

Gu Yu frowned again when he saw the companion she was holding and her forced smile.

Just as the other party was about to close the door, I couldn't help but ask.

Why does my wife seem to love money so much?

"Just say I'm greedy, there's no need to beat around the bush."

Unaccustomed to Shang Qing speaking like that, he raised his hand and habitually touched his nose before looking at the woman opposite him again.

Their eyes met, but he saw nothing familiar, which made Gu Yu frown again.

“If you hear everything I have to say, you won’t see anything wrong with this.”

“My mother-in-law received the news that my husband had died on the battlefield, and kicked me out a few days after I gave birth. If I hadn’t happened to be foraging for food in the mountains and found some special monkey wine, I’m afraid I would be…”

Shang Qing did find similar fruit wine on the mountain, but there is a difference between beer and fruit wine. He could only say that because the other party was seriously injured and could not have drunk it.

"The courtyard that Lao Zong took you away from earlier is the old house that the merchant no longer uses. Even so, she still doesn't intend to let my two children go. Under the scorching sun, she made them weed in the fields."

Her heart ached to see the little girl's face so red from the sun. The worst part was that Pan'er had been bitten by a bamboo viper the day before and had struggled to get back to her side.

Gu Yu certainly wouldn't let the lies in the words go unpunished, but when he actually heard about the grievances his wife and daughter had suffered, he clenched his fists and slammed them against the wall.

"Too deceiving!"

"Ah, what are you doing? Don't you know your body hasn't fully recovered yet?"

Carefully avoiding the wound, he held his hand up to examine it and, after confirming it was just a superficial injury, breathed a sigh of relief and wrapped the wound with the handkerchief he always carried with him.

"You can do whatever you want in the future, but for now, please take care of your health. Your brother is waiting for you."

"It's not just him, it's me too..."

Worried that his next words might cause trouble for Shang Qing, Gu Yu opened his mouth but ultimately didn't say anything.

Seeing his conflicted expression, Shang Qing, who was squatting beside him, suddenly remembered the eggs in the pot, let out a soft cry, and rushed out.

However, she quickly gripped her apron tightly with both hands and placed a boiled egg beside her.

"Take good care of your injury and try to bring Asahi home."

"Thank you, thank you."

He has returned home, but his family has not yet recognized him, nor can they recognize his identity.

Gu Yu gave a mocking smile, then picked up the egg with his other hand and examined it closely, trying to find a way home from this round egg.

On the other side, Shang Qing looked at the two children who were already busy in the field, sighed, and then handed them two glasses of water.

"Have some drinks, and then eat the eggs."

"Mom, we're not hungry, we don't need to eat eggs all the time. Why don't you..."

Before she could finish speaking, half a peeled egg appeared in Nian'er's mouth.

The child wasn't so particular; he spat out the egg and reached out to stuff it into Shang Qing's mouth.

But she was just an underdeveloped child. When Shang Qing stood up straight, the egg could only be held high in the air and couldn't be put into her mouth.

"Mom, I really don't want to eat this. You should eat it while it's hot!"

"But Mother has already eaten one and so many dried wild vegetables. She can't eat anything now. What should we do?"

Hearing Shang Qing say that she had already eaten one, Gu Nian'er hesitated slightly.

Although Gu Pan'er wasn't as observant as her, she was still the older sister and guessed what her younger sister was thinking. She opened her mouth and took a bite of the egg.

In order to prevent her older sister from taking away her delicious food, she could only stuff the food into her mouth, chew it a couple of times, and swallow it.
