Qiu Xu had just returned from practicing martial arts with his master when he saw his sister's busy figure and rushed over to help.

Seeing his sister's sweet smile, he stepped forward, took the firewood from her hand, and threw it into the stove.

"Sister, I will take care of you from now on."

His older sister is both a sister and a mother, and she also has to earn money to support the family. It's really not easy for her.

He didn't want his sister to be so tired, and he didn't want to reap the benefits without sowing.

"I can make money too." Qiu Ling'er declared confidently as she entered the room. She couldn't let her brother outdo her; she wanted to be just like her sister, skilled in both business and martial arts.

Qiu Yan nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for that day." She hadn't spoiled her younger brother and sister-in-law for nothing.

“No, you’re all wrong. It’s a son’s responsibility to support his mother.” The speaker was Gu Xiaoran.

He got up very early today because he hadn't been back to the village for a long time.

Just now, I returned from the Li family with Qiu Ling'er.

Qiu Yan... I don't know where she heard that from.

Not far away, Gu Qian, who was urging Ling Qi and Ling Ba to chop firewood, silently shook his head.

What he was thinking was that he should naturally take care of his wife.

These three brats, don't even think about competing with him.

Qiu Yan was unknowingly becoming the group's darling.

After breakfast, Gu Qian first went to the Li family to see if there was anything he could do to help.

They returned to the village too late yesterday, so he didn't bother them.

Li Zheng had just left home and gone to Baiyang to prepare for the New Year.

Gu Qian frowned as he looked at the dilapidated house.

When he came back last time, he tried to persuade his master and mistress to move to the new house.

But his master's wife refused, and he had no other choice.

It seems that his wife still resents him.

Mrs. Ye rocked the twins in the cradle, "Why are you here again?"

"I..." Gu Qian had been disliked by his teacher's wife more than once.

Compared to how his teacher's wife treated him in the past, and then to how she treats him now,

Gu Qian was still content.

"I've come to see my junior brother."

My younger brother, Li Wenqing, wasn't very well-behaved. He kept kicking his blanket and making little noises, wanting to be nursed.

The older brother, Li Wenhan, blinked his bright eyes and stared intently at his younger brother beside him, occasionally patting his brother's body with his little hands and sucking his little hands, looking incredibly cute.

Because his younger brother was being a bit fussy, Gu Qian couldn't help but pick him up.

Ye initially thought that Gu Qian didn't know how to hold a child, but seeing that his holding posture was correct and the child stopped crying instantly, she didn't stop him.

Gu Qian is much more experienced than taking care of children, after all, Gu Xiaoran will be four years old soon.

The older brother, Li Wenhan, seemed to realize that his younger brother was being held while he was still lying in the cradle, unable to get up, and became somewhat unhappy.

He frowned, looking pitiful and on the verge of tears.

Seeing this, Gu Qian smiled slightly.

I don't know what my child will be like in the future.

He reached out again, hugged his older brother, and gently rocked the two adorable children, one on each side.

"Put them down, you'll spoil them if you keep doing this." Ye's back ached, and she didn't have the energy to keep holding them.

"I will buy two servants to serve you tomorrow."

Gu Qian had thought about this before, and he had also done so.

However, Ye sent those servants home.

She was used to living a self-reliant life and didn't want to be served.

"No need." Ye Shi has had enough in her life, with her husband by her side and both her son and daughter. She really doesn't want to ask for more.

After coaxing the two children, Gu Qian first had Ling Qi and the other deliver some firewood that had just been chopped that morning to the Li family, and then instructed them to fill the Li family's water tank.

Ling Qi and Ling Ba were like mute people eating bitter herbs; their hearts were filled with bitterness.

After finishing everything, Gu Qian didn't linger and went to find Qiu Yan again.

Qiu Yan was in the side room, arranging herbs, preparing to have Gu Qian send some nourishing and blood-tonifying, yin-nourishing and lung-moistening tonics to the Li family.
