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

Liu Bazi raised the extra money bag in his hand, along with the things he had brought, and looked at the room in the center.

But that was Shang Qing's bedroom, so naturally she wouldn't let this person in.

"I'm so sorry, the inside isn't ready yet. How about we chat at the entrance?"

Are you still angry?

Liu Bazi lowered his head and kept fiddling with the things in his hands. After a while, he finally put the things inside the wall.

Seemingly sensing something was wrong, he frowned and was about to ask a question when Shang Qing answered first.

"I asked someone else to do it for me, and it cost a lot of money."

"Then why didn't you wait for me to do it? The materials would have been better."

That would mean owing even more favors, and she can't afford to owe anyone a favor.

Although Shang Qing thought this way, she still looked away and turned to the side. After a long while, she heard a shout from inside the room and turned her head.

"Why are you still running outside? If you get all sweaty, take a shower and you'll have clothes to wear every day."

"No, I just want to tell Mother the water is getting cold."

Shang Qing patted Gu Nian'er's head before looking at Liu Bazi beside him again.

Their eyes met, and he clearly wanted to say something more, but Shang Qing interrupted him first.

"I know you're busy with your business and didn't want to bother you, so I contacted this person. I didn't mean anything by it."

"Besides, I really dared to let the children sleep alone in the previous room, but it's still too crowded for three people in one room, plus..."

Gu Yu watched the two chatting nonstop at the door, his brows furrowed, and his sharp gaze swept over Lao Zong, who hadn't told him about it.

The other party also felt innocent and was about to explain when they were interrupted by the other party's actions.

"Go and drive them away."

"This... I'm afraid it's against the rules."

After all, Shang Qing is now a widow, and if a strange man appears in the courtyard, she will be even more uneasy.

It's very possible that even this newly cleared courtyard will be taken away.

Gu Yu narrowed his eyes in displeasure, and was just about to give the other party a more forceful order when he was interrupted by the sound from outside.

"Give me all this stuff, but I can't use it. Why don't you take it back and ask if you can sell it to someone else?"

"This is what I'm selling to you. You don't have to throw it away, but I absolutely won't take it away."

Hearing this, Shang Qing pretended to have no choice but to open the courtyard gate and take the things that were handed to him.

A quick glance revealed several items that Liu Bazi would never have imagined: cosmetics and face powder used by women, as well as appropriately sized clothing.

It seems he asked her, but I wonder how their conversation went?

Now that he knows how to please her, they've probably discussed quite a few things.

Shang Qing looked at it again and again, but still didn't take it. Instead, she put everything back in the basket and looked at the other person calmly.

"I really don't need all of this, why don't you..."

"If you don't accept it, I'll have no choice but to throw it away."

Ignoring her gaze, Liu Bazi picked up the package and was about to throw it out.

But the action was so fake that Shang Qing almost burst out laughing. However, to put the other person at ease, he still pretended to grab the other person's arm.

"These are all good things, why don't you know how to be frugal?"

"Nobody uses it, keeping it is a waste, what's the difference between it and throwing it away?"

Hearing this, Shang Qing had no way to refute it, and simply reached out and put all those things back into the courtyard.

But it wasn't free; they opened the money bag that was delivered and stuffed some money into his hand.

Liu Bazi naturally disagreed, but as soon as he withdrew his hand, he saw Shang Qing pursing her lips and looking at the thing on the ground.

"Does Liu the Scarface look down on me?"

"What are you talking about? I'm not taking your money just because these things aren't worth much. Alright, I have to go now."

Without giving Shang Qing a chance, Liu Bazi could only flee the straw hut as if he were escaping.

Once the figure disappeared from sight, Shang Qing turned his gaze away, strode over to the pot, fiddled with the fire poker underneath to extinguish the fire, and then carried the water into the room.

But she found that the two children were already fast asleep, holding the youngest one. So she had to take her things to the next room and use the basin to mix water to wash her hair.

But before her hair could even be put into the water, she felt a gaze from behind her.

Shang Qing immediately turned her head and met a pair of dark eyes.

"Why did you come to the child's room instead of resting inside, young master?"

"I just want to ask you why you accepted that guy's things."

Who is he that he has to tell others what to do when he takes other people's things?

Shang Qing didn't want to explain to him, so she simply lowered the curtain to block the view from outside.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yu glared at the curtain, wanting to barge in and demand an explanation.

Just as he was about to make his move, a sound came from the side that made him disregard his wounds and quickly enter the woodshed.

Lao Zong, who had been waiting nearby, saw the anger on that face and opened his mouth to explain for Shang Qing.

But before he could even speak, the other person heard the noise outside, quickly looked over, and realized that it was just someone passing by, who left without even looking at the courtyard.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw Shang Qing carrying dirty water and splashing it on the ground, so he walked into the house without looking back.

"you……"

"I'm tired."

Gu Yu coldly uttered these three words, then wrapped himself in a quilt made of scraps of cloth that was placed to the side, and stopped moving.

However, since both of them were martial artists, they knew that the other was not resting, but they could not make a sound, so they could only pretend that they knew nothing and lie down to rest.

Knowing that Lao Zong was really asleep, Gu Yu then threw off the covers and looked through the crack in the door into the room where the others were resting.

The next day.

Shang Qing felt an overwhelming weight on her body and painfully opened her eyes, only to see her three children sleeping sprawled out in a chaotic manner.

He reached out to push her away, but before he could even lift his hand, the third child, who was closest to him, opened her big, watery eyes and looked at him.

"Awake? Are you hungry?"

"Hungry!"

At first, Shang Qing thought it was San'er who could talk, so she got up and hugged her. Just as she was about to let her try again, she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Mom, I'm hungry. What should we eat today?"

"Mother thought it was Third Son who could speak, but I didn't expect it was you who responded."

Shang Qing was both amused and annoyed, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she took the three children out to wash up and take another look at the tender little seedlings.

After confirming several times that the previously sickly seedlings had straightened up, I nodded in satisfaction and turned around to see the child's proud expression.

“You’ve taken good care of them. Mother has many more seedlings to entrust to you.”

"Don't worry, Mother, my sister and I will definitely do a good job."

Gu Pan'er patted her chest forcefully, but accidentally used too much force, and grimaced in pain, arching her back and massaging the sore spot with her hands.

Seeing her like this, Shang Qing couldn't help but chuckle softly.
