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

Shang Qing knew it wasn't that simple, so she deliberately softened her tone and tried to reason with him: "Brave Liu has been traveling the world for many years and is a man of strong character. I am a widow, and my husband has been dead for less than a hundred days. If I were asked to abandon my daughter and find another husband, I would be drowned in the spittle of others."

"Furthermore, my husband died on the battlefield while defending our country, this..."

She wasn't sure if this subtle threat would anger Liu the Scarface, so she lowered her voice further: "If anything goes wrong and the magistrate finds out, wouldn't that just drag Liu the Warrior down with him for nothing?"

Liu Bazi, a villager by origin, has managed to rise to such a powerful position in this small area, which shows he must have some brains.

He wasn't oblivious to Shang Qing's little scheme, but what he said did make sense.

The families of soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield should not be touched lightly.

Even if we were to get involved, we'd have to wait until things calm down!

Anyway, Shang Qing is still in her postpartum period. If we try to take away her child now, she'll probably try to kill herself. So, it doesn't matter if we wait a little longer.

Once Shang Qing realizes that she can only live a good life by relying on him, how could she not take the initiative to throw herself into his arms?

"What is this 'immortal brew' you're talking about?"

Before Shang Qing could even rejoice at Liu Bazi's agreement, Gu Wangshi refused to comply.

"Where did she get this 'magic wine' from? Liu family's eldest son, this vile woman has a silver tongue, you mustn't be fooled by her!" Madam Gu's face twisted with anxiety.

The original plan was to sell the four people, the big one and the small one.

Only in this way can you get real silver, no matter how much, it's better than a mere fifty coins!

Unexpectedly, Shang Qing's few words actually persuaded Liu Bazi.

Unfortunately, Liu the Scarface was also stupid; what kind of rubbish "immortal brew" was he talking about?

If she had something so good, would she really send two children to beg her for fifty coins?

Shang Qing said coldly, "Gu Wangshi, your own son has been dead for less than a hundred days, and you're already busy driving his wife and children out. Do you think the township head, village head, or county magistrate will let you off the hook if they find out what you've done?"

"Even the Emperor has said that those who sacrifice their lives for the country are truly national heroes, and the world should respect and worship them. Isn't your behavior a disobedience to the Emperor's decree?!"

In fact, Shang Qing didn't know whether the emperor here had ever said such a thing.

However, judging from the original owner's memories, although this dynasty was unfamiliar, it was quite powerful. If the emperor was not benevolent, it would not have such national strength.

Using such words to intimidate ignorant village women will definitely be effective!

Sure enough, Shang Qing brought up the emperor directly, and Gu Wangshi's face turned green.

She looked again at the dusty, mottled Buddha statue and wondered if it was truly a divine intervention.

Otherwise, how could Shang Qing, that honest and simple scoundrel, suddenly become so eloquent?

Thinking about it this way, Madam Gu broke out in a cold sweat. What if she really offended a deity? That would be terrible! A deity, after all!

"Fine, then I'll give you a month!" Madam Gu rushed out of the dilapidated temple, trembling. Only when she stood at the door did she dare to turn around and shout, "By then, you'll have to return one hundred coins to me. If you don't, I'll have my men skin you alive!"

Seeing that Madam Gu had finally left, Shang Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Next up is Liu the Scarface.

Especially since he was staring at me with such suspicion, I could only force myself to remain calm...
