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

"Mother, don't cry!"

"It's all my fault. I'm not worthy to be a mother's daughter!"

Upon hearing Gu Nian'er's words, he immediately reached out and gently pulled her into his arms, carefully tidying up her stray hairs.

Noticing the wound on his forehead, she felt even more distressed.

"Listen to your mother, none of this is Nian'er's fault. The fault lies with that Li Qun fellow. So if anything happens in the future, just tell me directly."

"But Mom is not strong enough and might get bullied by them. Should I go find those uncles instead?"

Unexpectedly, the child could apply what he learned to other situations, but since they were strangers after all, Shang Qing did not want the group to become too close.

After thinking it over, he shook his head and handed over a rolling pin that was placed in the room.

"If anyone dares to bully you in the future, your mother will use this thing to beat them so badly they can't move."

"Really? Won't Mother be bullied if she does that?"

Shang Qing nodded, realizing that her thin arms and legs weren't suitable, and could only turn her gaze to the other side again.

"No, Mother can't always be by your side. You have to fight back yourselves."

"Mom, why don't we go find Uncle Lao Zong? He can kill the snake with a single stroke."

Upon hearing this, Shang Qing recalled how the other party had casually killed a snake and later caught a wild boar the size of half a person.

Having figured out the other person's skills, he walked out without the slightest hesitation.

"Is Lao Zong free now? I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Just tell me, Madam Shang. I will do my best to help as long as it is within my power."

Shang Qing nodded and was about to suggest that he teach the child martial arts, but before he could even open his mouth, he heard another voice from the side.

Turning her head, she saw that Gu Yu was already standing behind the two of them. She couldn't help but frown again, but she didn't stop him from saying such things.

"I wanted to teach Nian'er some martial arts skills since she was bullied today, so that she can fight back when others bully her."

“But she doesn’t practice martial arts for adults, but to improve her health. If she accidentally injures another child, Madam Shang’s life will only get worse.”

That's still better than watching your child get bullied.

Shang Qing glanced at the other person again and saw that the other person's brows were furrowed, indicating that they would not agree. She sighed and then decided to find a way to help her daughter from being bullied.

"and many more."

"The reason I refused is because I couldn't control my strength. If Zhao Jiang were to teach me, it shouldn't be a problem."

Shang Qing was slightly taken aback, and then looked at Gu Yu, who was much thinner than Lao Zong.

Seemingly sensing her suspicion, he rolled up his sleeve, which was in the way, and made a gesture while standing in the center.

Lao Zong frowned, still wanting to refuse, when he heard Gu Yu's voice.

"It's been a long time since we've had a match. I want to see if your martial arts skills have declined."

"Yes."

Since it was his request, he naturally had no right to refuse, so Lao Zong could only roll up his sleeves and get into position with a bitter face.

Hearing the noise, the child in the room naturally pushed open the door and curiously looked at the two of them.

"Nian'er, do you think they'll win?"

"Uncle Lao Zong? He's amazing. If it weren't for his sister, he would have really been bitten by a poisonous snake."

Gu Pan'er, holding San'er who was about to fall asleep, nodded in agreement with Gu Nian'er's words.

Hearing this, Gu Yu looked at Shang Qing, hoping that this nominal wife would support him, but when he looked, he found that the gaze was not on him.

Disappointed, she turned her gaze to Lao Zong, who stood somewhat awkwardly opposite her, and her brows furrowed once more.

"Zhao Jiang, you may begin."

"Don't hold back."

As the sound faded, he gave the other party no chance to pause, and suddenly exerted force with his feet, directly rushing towards him.

Lao Zong hadn't expected him to use all his strength, and he was completely caught off guard, staring blankly as the fist came hurtling towards him.

Raising my hand to defend myself was too late; I could only deflect the fist slightly, allowing it to strike my cheek and leave a clear mark.

"Already divided..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yu attacked again, but this time it wasn't with his hand, but with a sudden sweep of his leg.

Losing his balance, Lao Zong could only use his hands to support himself on the ground and roll over to a safer spot nearby.

But Gu Yu wasn't going to let the other party off the hook, and took a step forward to throw another punch.

Fortunately, this time the other party did not punch him in the face, but stopped at the tip of his nose.

"how?"

"It seems that Young Master Zhao is indeed more capable, but Pan'er is already over ten years old, and it's not appropriate for her to be with men. Perhaps..."

"Brother Zhao and I will teach them some leg techniques in this courtyard to make sure they are not bullied."

On the legs?

Shang Qing frowned, about to say that the child didn't know his own strength, when she saw Gu Yu pull out a scarecrow from somewhere nearby.

"At most, it will knock someone down without knocking them unconscious, but it will definitely not cause any serious injury."

"Then I'll trouble you two. I don't have much to repay you with, so how about we cook you a simple home-cooked meal?"

Having tasted her cooking before, the two naturally didn't refuse, nodding before beckoning to the two curious children in the room.

When the person ran up to her, Shang Qing frowned and looked at the more obedient Gu Nian'er, pulling her back.

"How about this, one for each of us, and we'll trouble Brother Lao Zong with Nian'er."

"Weren't we all taught together? Why are we now having to teach one person each?"

Gu Yu noticed that Shang Qing was somewhat wary, and frowned slightly, but in the end he nodded to Lao Zong and then led Gu Pan'er to gesture at the straw figure.

Surprisingly, after just a few moves, the sturdy scarecrow was smashed to pieces by the child.

Gu Pan'er was still a little embarrassed and tried to restore it to its original appearance with straw.

"What are you..."

"I am quite strong, and I usually control myself well, but today I got a little excited about learning martial arts and lost control. Did I do something wrong?"

Seeing Gu Pan'er lower her head, Gu Yu immediately waved his hand, indicating that he did not know the situation before and would make a sturdier wooden dummy for practice tomorrow.

Because the scarecrow was damaged, the two children squatted in a horse stance for a while before going back to their room to rest.

The next day.

Before Shang Qing had fully regained consciousness, she heard a knock on the door.

"what happened?"

"Uncle is going to lead us in our morning lessons, Mom, don't worry, go back to sleep."

She was still a little dazed when she heard her uncle's son suddenly open his eyes and look at the two children who had already changed their clothes.

"Mother is also having trouble sleeping. Would it be alright if she went out to check on things?"

"It's a bit chilly, Mother, please wear more clothes when you go out."

The two children rubbed their eyes, which were almost closed again, and then came out of the house at the urging of the knocking on the door, swinging their fists and feet in the yard.

Once he was sure the two of them didn't make any unnecessary moves, Shang Qing turned his attention away and started looking through the system.
