Seeing Du Mingwei's almost pleading eyes, Wu Daniu finally softened. No matter what, Du Mingwei was still his woman. "Okay, take good care of yourself."

After Wu Daniu came out of the house, Wu Erniu waited in the yard. When he saw Wu Daniu come out, he hurriedly followed him and said, "Brother, I think Sister-in-law was too pampered in the past, which made her too delicate after she got pregnant. Her body can't stand the wind and rain, and she can't handle even the slightest movement."

“We still need to have children in the future, and we can’t keep being so delicate. I think we should just sell the servant we bought. That way we can get some money and save some food.”

"Another thing is that if you move around more and get in good physical condition, you won't be as delicate as you are now when you get pregnant again."

Wu Daniu hesitated for a moment. Having someone to do the work at home would be much more comfortable, and the servant he bought was very capable, doing a good job both inside and outside the house.

He was still reluctant to sell it, because if he sold it, Du Mingwei would have to do all the housework. It wasn't that he was reluctant to let her do it, but that she wasn't good at it, she was slow, and she was really too delicate.

Seeing him like this, Wu Erniu knew he was reluctant to part with the child. To be honest, he himself was reluctant too. However... his sister-in-law, that stupid woman, couldn't even keep the baby in her belly. The first child of the Wu family was gone just like that.

Such a sister-in-law doesn't deserve to be served.

"Brother, please think it over carefully. I feel this won't work. After all, we are just an ordinary family, and logically speaking, we can't afford to employ servants."

Wu Daniu gave a perfunctory reply, "Okay, I'll think about it carefully." After saying that, he picked up his things and prepared to go into the mountains.

As I opened the courtyard gate and went outside, I saw Wang Cui carrying a basin with clothes in it, looking like she was going to the river to wash them.

"Brother Da Niu, are you going into the mountains? Be careful and pay attention to safety."

"Okay," Wu Daniu replied with a single word, then felt a little awkward. "Are you going to do the laundry?"

"Yes, my mother isn't feeling well today, I'll go take a shower."

“I’ve noticed that Aunt Wang usually doesn’t want you to do any work, and I’ve never seen you do any chores. Can you handle it?”

"She's capable. What woman in the village can't do chores? It's just that... Du Mingwei, whom Brother Da Niu married, is a bit spoiled. But that's normal, since she's known as a lucky woman in every household."

At this point, Wang Cui seemed to remember something, "Brother Da Niu, speaking of which, it seems that Du Mingwei didn't bring any good fortune to the family after she entered the household."

Wu Daniu thought about it carefully. There was indeed nothing in front, but... there really was something in the back. If he hadn't saved that person, how could he have gotten a servant in return?

It turns out that it brought good fortune.

But he wouldn't say this to outsiders.

"What lucky star or not, she married me and I am Wu Daniu's wife. I have never thought about anything else."

Wang Cui's eyes lit up as she looked at Wu Daniu with great admiration. "Brother Daniu, you're such a good person. Du Mingwei cried and begged to marry you; she must have discovered how good you are, Brother Daniu."

"But that makes sense. What woman wouldn't like a man like Brother Da Niu?"

Wu Daniu was a little impulsive and wanted to ask her directly if she was included in this group of women, but then he thought that Wang Cui was not very old and was the only daughter in the Wang family. It was impossible for them to be together.

"Alright, you're still a child. Go get to work. I'm going to the mountains."

Wang Cui didn't like hearing this. "I'm not a child anymore. I can get pregnant and have children now. Brother Da Niu really looks down on me." After saying that, she angrily picked up her things and walked out.

Wu Daniu panicked a little, afraid that Wang Cui would get angry and go back to tell Wang Da Niang, which would damage the relationship between the two families, so he hurriedly stepped forward to chase after her, saying, "I didn't mean that. I've always thought of you as my younger sister."

"To be a younger sister?" Wang Cui stopped in her tracks, her eyes suddenly reddening as she stared at him intently and stubbornly, as if trying to see right through him.

"I...I'm not very good at talking, you know...I really don't know..." Wu Daniu really didn't know what to say. He just wanted to coax Wang Cui and make her not angry.

Wang Cui suddenly glanced around and whispered, "Brother Da Niu, come with me."

Both the Wang and Wu families lived at the foot of the mountain, so this place was a bit remote and there weren't many people around. After walking a short distance to an even more secluded spot, Wang Cui turned around and stared at him with teary eyes.

Wu Daniu was at a loss, completely unsure of what to do. He could see that Wang Cui was different, and he knew he couldn't continue like this, but he couldn't control himself.

"Xiao...Xiao Cui, just say what you want to say, don't look at me like that."

"Brother Da Niu, I want to be frank today. I'm not a little girl anymore; I'm a little woman. I think you can see what I'm thinking, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm going hunting." Wu Daniu stammered, picked up his things and was about to leave when Wang Cui stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

"Brother Da Niu, can you listen to me for a few words?"

Wu Daniu turned to look at her, "You say it."

“Brother Da Niu, I really like you. I’ve liked you since I was a child. I’ve never traveled far from home in my life, but the only time I came back from a trip, you were engaged. When I heard that, I was heartbroken. I wanted to rush in and ask you, but I didn’t know what position I had to be in to ask you.”

“I was heartbroken for a long time after your marriage, but when I found out it was Du Mingwei, I was quite worried for you. Du Mingwei didn’t do any housework when she was a girl in the Du family, and she’s even less capable of doing housework after she got married.”

“Da Niu’s family needs someone who can manage the household chores. If it were Du Mingxian who was chosen before, I would have accepted it, but now it’s Du Mingwei. I can’t bear to see Da Niu suffer.”

Wu Daniu felt his heart pounding, but he didn't know how to respond to the young woman's words.

"Brother Da Niu, if you like Du Mingwei, that's fine. But could you let my mother continue working for your family? That way, I'll have a legitimate reason to visit you."

Wu Daniu stammered, "You...you can go see it anytime."

Wang Cui was overjoyed and rushed forward to grab his hand, gently shaking it. "Really? Brother Da Niu, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, our two families live so close to each other, and we have a good relationship."

"Brother Da Niu, I know you're smart, you know that. The past is the past, that was when things weren't clear. Now that I've explained things to you, do you really still want me to come visit you?"

Faced with such a blunt question, Wu Daniu's heart was pounding, and he felt as if his blood was rushing to one place. He was extremely itchy and even had some impulses. But when he thought that his mother was Wang Da Niang, he knew that if anything happened between the two of them, Wang Da Niang would definitely be the first to skin him alive.
