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

However, Luo Bin was right in front of her, so even if Gu Hui disliked him, she could only stand up and nod to Luo Bin.

"Hello."

Luo Bin hummed in agreement, then turned his head and looked at Shang Qing.

"We've got a lead. When do you have time, let's go over there. Maybe we'll find something."

Upon hearing this, Pan'er and Nian'er both turned their heads and looked at Shang Qing, puzzled as to what Luo Bin meant.

Gu Hui's gaze also fell on Shang Qing, his face full of worry.

Sensing their gazes, Shang Qing turned to look at them, a smile spreading across her face as she said, "Alright, alright, it's nothing, don't worry."

After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Luo Bin, asking, "Have you eaten?"

Luo Bin pursed his lips, and after a while, he nodded.

He was all alone at home, and he forgot all about the family's worries about being the only one to feed.

Seeing Luo Bin's expression, Shang Qing turned to Pan'er and gave her a wink. Pan'er understood and gave up her position to Luo Bin.

"Uncle, please sit here. I'll go get you some bowls and chopsticks."

After saying that, Pan'er left without giving him a chance to refuse.

As he watched Pan'er's figure disappear from sight, and seeing the harmonious scene at their home, Luo Bin's heart was filled with even more complex emotions.

feeling bad.

After all, he was just as happy before.

But why did that one person completely disrupt his happy life?

Luo Bin clenched his fists, his eyes filled with resentment.

Gu Hui frowned as he looked at Luo Bin, then lowered his head and refused to look at Luo Bin again.

Soon, Pan'er came over, and Luo Bin went over and sat down in Pan'er's seat, letting Pan'er serve him rice.

Pan'er sat down in the seat that Xi'er had previously occupied and began to eat.

Shang Qing glanced at the food on the table, then turned to Luo Bin and said with a smile, "Don't mind, we can't afford anything better given our family's situation."

Luo Bin shook his head, said nothing, and lowered his head to focus on eating.

In the end, he simply forced the food into his mouth, his eyes were red, and tears seemed about to well up at any moment.

Pan'er frowned as she looked at Luo Bin, puzzled.

"Uncle, what's wrong? Is it because my cooking is bad?"

Shang Qing gave Pan'er a wink, and Pan'er understood, lowering her head and saying nothing more.

Luo Bin shook his head, finished his meal, turned to look at Shang Qing, and said, "You can contact me again when you have time. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Luo Bin turned around and left.

Watching Luo Bin's figure disappear from sight, Pan'er turned to Shang Qing and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with this uncle?"

Shang Qing took a deep breath, a hint of helplessness on his face.

She shook her head and reached out to pat Pan'er's head.

“Pan’er, be good. That uncle’s family is all gone. He must have been reminded of his own family when he saw how well you were behaving. Don’t be afraid.”

"Gone?"

Nian'er also frowned and looked at Shang Qing with some sympathy.

"Why is it that my uncle's family is all gone? Don't they want him anymore?"

They were all killed.

But what could Shang Qing say in response?

Shang Qing could only nod and say nothing more.

Upon hearing this, Pan'er pursed her lips and remained silent.

She had grown up and, looking at Shang Qing, understood something.

However, since Shang Qing didn't say anything, she didn't say anything either.

Pan'er stood up and began to clear the dishes, taking everything away.

Nian'er went over to help.

Seeing how sensible the two children were, Shang Qing was filled with emotion.

Gu Hui turned to look at Shang Qing, his face full of solemnity.

“I still don’t want you to cooperate with him. Since my third brother isn’t home, it should be my responsibility to protect you. But that Luo Bin is unpredictable, and I’m worried he might do something to harm you.”

"Think about it."

After saying that, Gu Huai turned around and left without saying anything more.

Watching Gu Huai's figure disappear from sight, Shang Qing turned around and went back to her room.

She understood everything Gu Huai was saying, but with the system around her, nothing would happen to her.

If someone with a system attached to them can still be killed, that would be incredibly lame.

Xi'er didn't go out until evening. When Pan'er went to bring Xi'er food, Xi'er threw her out. Shang Qing then ordered that Pan'er should no longer bring Xi'er food.

She wanted to see how long Xi'er could hold out.

But no matter what, Xi'er is still her daughter, how could she not feel sorry for her?

However, there was nothing they could do but endure it.

The next morning, Shang Qing hadn't even stepped outside when she saw Gu Huai sitting outside, holding a book in his hand, but his mind wasn't on the book at all; he was looking in some direction.

Seeing Gu Huai like this, Shang Qing walked over and sat down next to Gu Huai.

"Big brother?"

Upon hearing Shang Qing's voice, Gu Hui turned to look at Shang Qing, nodded, and said nothing.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Gu Hui put the book on the table, took a deep breath, and said helplessly, "What have you thought about it? This matter is not only something you can investigate, but I can also help."

"If all else fails, we'll be more cautious. Wang Mingli can't just come to our house and kill us, can he?"

After hearing Gu Hui's words, what else could Shang Qing not understand?

Emotional hesitation is for this purpose.

Seeing that Gu Huai couldn't even concentrate on his book because of this, Shang Qing nodded and agreed immediately.

"Don't worry, big brother. I know very well what I should and shouldn't do. You don't need to worry about me. Even for the sake of the children, I won't get into any trouble."

After a pause, she continued, "Brother, Fusu is still waiting for you. Only if you become the top scholar in the imperial examination will you be qualified to be with her. Are you going to give up?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Hui immediately shook his head, his face full of determination.

Fusu was the one he had chosen; how could he possibly give up on him?

impossible!

Seeing Gu Huai nod, Shang Qing also smiled.

"Brother, you should focus on your studies and not think about anything else. Only by becoming the top scholar in the imperial examination can you be with her. Then we'll have hope. What do you say?"

Gu Hui hummed in agreement, but his expression turned serious.

Only those who pass the imperial examination with top honors have the right to change their fate and bring their families to the capital.

Only in this way can they have a better life and be able to be with Fusu.

He doesn't have much time left!

Gu Huai immediately picked up the book and said, "Okay, I'll try my best, but don't forget what you promised me: don't get involved with Luo Bin anymore, understand?"

Shang Qing nodded, then turned to look behind him before turning his gaze back to Gu Hui.

"Brother, could you watch over Xi'er for me? I'm going out for a bit, so make sure she doesn't wander off."

Xi'er's hunger strike was a minor matter; what she was afraid of was Xi'er running away.
