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

Upon hearing this, Shang Qing was stunned for a moment, then turned her gaze to Gu Yu beside her.

But the guy over there had almost the exact same expression as him, which made it clear that this was extremely unexpected, and no one except Lao Zong knew about it.

Seeing this, Shang Qing was about to say something more when he saw the other party take out a table that wasn't in particularly good condition and hand it to him.

"I can't accept that, and as for your idea of ​​becoming my godparent, that's not really possible either, I..."

"Madam Shang, don't worry too much. I just think you look a bit like my sister from the past."

At this point, Lao Zong suddenly sighed, sat down in the seat next to him, but his gaze fell on the bracelet.

Shang Qing guessed that there must be some story behind this, so she didn't say anything, but simply picked up the kettle, filled the other person's cup, and sat down to listen.

"My sister has a weak constitution. She was constantly sick shortly after birth, and her family consulted countless doctors, but they still couldn't cure her."

"Fortunately, my sister had a strong will and survived to adulthood despite her frail health. Her mother prepared a generous dowry for her, but who knew..."

Lao Zong suddenly stopped talking, seemingly lost in some painful memories. The two of them naturally dared not make a sound and sat quietly to one side, waiting for the other to speak again.

However, the other party was unwilling to mention those painful things, and simply said that her husband was not a good person, and then did not continue.

Understanding what this meant, Shang Qing wanted to comfort the brother who had lost his sister, but because of his identity, he sat quietly to the side, unsure of what to do.

But she quickly realized something, staring intently at the other person with her brows furrowed.

Are you implying that my situation is similar to your sister's?

"No, you two have some similarities in personality, but after spending time together these days, I've found that you and she are very different, yet also have some similarities."

Shang Qing didn't understand what this meant. Her brows furrowed, clearly wanting to say something more, when her arm was grabbed.

No one is forcing you, so there's no need to answer immediately.

"Can I think about it some more? After all, this matter is too sudden, and I can't answer it in a short time."

Lao Zong knew that what was said was true, so he nodded and turned to look at the seat next to him.

"Whether it's one or two, it's still a worship ceremony. This way, we'll have a connection and won't be gossiped about anymore."

Gu Yu disagreed with this statement at all, and even felt an urge to teach Lao Zong, who made the suggestion, a lesson.

But he knew he couldn't do that at this moment, so he could only turn his gaze to Shang Qing, who hadn't answered.

The other party was indeed somewhat persuaded, but quickly looked away and raised her eyes to look at Gu Yu, who was staring at her.

"I can't answer that yet. Let me think about it some more."

"You look rather relieved? Do you think I'm not good enough to be your sister?"

He never expected things to turn out this way, and stood there stunned for a long time before finally raising his head to look at Lao Zong on the other side.

But what was unexpected was that this guy looked at him with the same eyes as Shang Qing.

"Why do you look down on me? Do you think you can cook better food than me?"

"Or are you saying you can easily take care of this whole family, and even have the money for your treatment?"

Gu Yu didn't know what to say, so he could only stand there and let out an even more helpless sigh.

"I don't mean to look down on you, I just think this godparent is too rash, and I thought you would refuse outright."

"What if I don't..."

Before he could even finish speaking, the other person already looked nervous.

Shang Qing took all of this in view. Originally, she did not want to react, but she couldn't help but show her disgust on her face.

"Since you're so unwilling, then you can live alone."

"what?"

"It means that you cook for yourself, build your own house and live in it, while we keep our own family in this courtyard."

Gu Yu was taken aback by this turn of events and stood there dumbfounded. He clearly wanted to say something more, but Lao Zong cut him off first.

“I think it’s feasible. After all, this yard is only so big, and it will definitely not be able to accommodate so many people in a while.”

"As expected, everyone thinks so. We can only ask you to find a way out as soon as possible."

"Since I'm not a bad person, of course I won't let you starve to death outside. These next few days, learn to cook with me to avoid starving to death."

Gu Yu's expression changed, clearly wanting to say something more, but ultimately he couldn't speak and could only look at Shang Qing in that line.

Both sides suddenly fell silent, until Lao Zong finally spoke up to break the silence.

"This was my decision alone, without consulting Brother Zhao. It's normal for him to look like this, so let's not make things difficult for him."

"But don't worry, Madam Shang, if Brother Zhao disagrees, I will help build a house next door, and I will make sure no one talks about you."

Wang Yunian was worried about this point. Once she was sure the other party would still leave, she didn't say anything else and instead focused her attention on the two of them.

But they didn't look at each other; instead, they stared in different directions for a long while before finally looking away.

"Would it be feasible to build another room in the courtyard?"

"No, it's best to move it as far away as possible."

Hearing this, Gu Yu was somewhat dissatisfied, but he still had some sense of reason and knew that it was for the other party's reputation, so he didn't say anything more.

Shang Qing took this as tacit agreement, nodded, and then looked to the other side, letting out an even more helpless sigh.

"Please take care of the child. I'll go out and get some pig feed, otherwise that little pig might starve to death in my house."

“Mom, I’m good at cutting pig feed. Why don’t my sister and I go instead? You’ve been cooking all day and are on vacation.”

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Seeing that the two children were eager to try, Shang Qing didn't want to discourage them, so he simply nodded in agreement.

"Even though the sun is still out, don't go too far, since this is the time when animals store food for winter."

"Don't worry, Mother. We've been cutting pig feed for years and know that the grass in this area is the best. We'll be back soon."

Seeing the two children run out excitedly, Shang Qing was still a little worried and couldn't help but want to follow them.

But someone was faster than her, and caught up with her in just a few steps.

Turning his head to look at Gu Yu beside him, he knew that the figure was Lao Zong, so he wasn't too worried.

Gu Yu noticed this and couldn't help but frown, wanting to ask why, but was interrupted by the distressed San'er inside.

"I'll go check on the child first. If everything is alright, please ask Young Master Zhao to finish making those jewelry boxes as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Gu Yu frowned slightly as he looked at the pile of wood in the corner, but still squatted down and continued working.
