Su Jiaoniang walked towards the village entrance, glancing at the tallest tree in the village. Wu Shi looked like dried bacon at this moment, her mouth dry and cracked. With the sun setting, her voice was hoarse, and she seemed about to curse and beat Su Jiaoniang as she approached.

Unexpectedly, the moment he opened his mouth, his voice sounded like a broken gong.

His voice was lisp; he could only utter half a syllable of a word before the rest of the sound remained stuck in his throat.

Su Jiaoniang crossed her arms and looked at Wu Shi with amusement: "Want to scold me?"

"No, no, she won't scold you," Zhu Youwei quickly said.

He knew he couldn't control Wu's mouth, but he could keep her locked up at home. He could have his wife sweep the floor, feed the pigs, chickens, and sheep, and he could bring back grass and fodder when he came back from the fields. It was hard work, but who in the village didn't have a hard life?

If Mrs. Wu can take care of things at home, then he can handle the rest.

In the end, he never thought about changing his wife.

The two of them had lived together for so long that all their memories and recollections were intertwined. This person was always in their memories. If he gave up Wu, it would be the same as giving up his past self.

Zhu Youwei felt he didn't understand any grand principles; they were just ordinary people who had grown up together, sharing joys and sorrows. How could he bear to part with them?

Su Jiaoniang's gaze fell on Zhu Youwei, and she sighed at the deep affection of an ordinary man.

Looking up at Wu, he said, "She's not very good-looking, but she's lucky."

Priceless treasures are easy to find, but a loving husband is hard to come by.

His gaze fell on the big tree. He used the same bungee jumping technique he had in his previous life to quickly climb the tree, pick up Wu Shi in his hand, and lightly leap from the tree, which was three stories high.

With her foot landing, she balanced her knees and body, and stood safely on the ground.

...

Ms. Wu's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth with her hand.

Ms. Wu was taken home by Zhu Youwei, still in a daze.

Having completed her task, Su Jiaoniang turned to go home.

Suddenly stunned, Gu Xizhou, standing in the crowd, stared at her, and his complicated gaze made her heart flutter.

Why is this person staring at her with such a complicated look?

He's taken a liking to her?

Su Jiaoniang lowered her head?

She has a small bust, but is still curvy with a good figure, long legs, and a pretty face.

If an ordinary man were attracted to her because of her appearance, she wouldn't be surprised, but the man before her was the Regent.

Having grown up surrounded by beautiful women, how could I so easily fall for one?

Unless he has some unusual fetishes, such as liking married women and widows, and he wouldn't care about clean young girls at all, then he can still be unmarried at this age.

Su Jiaoniang stared at Lu Wujiu, and their eyes met. If one did not know the details, one would think that this was a deep and affectionate gaze.

For example... Lu Futu, who had just returned from school.

He walked into the village and saw a man and a woman, looking at each other as if they only had eyes for one another.

Stars shift and time flows by.

They won't look away.

Lu Futu quickly stuffed a piece of donkey-hide gelatin cake into his mouth, needing to ensure he had enough energy: "Mother!"

Su Jiaoniang turned around abruptly and saw the pagoda under the setting sun, as well as the child's scrutinizing gaze on Lu Wujiu. A smile appeared on her face, and she made up her mind to distance herself from Gu Xizhou.

He led the Buddha statue home.

For dinner, there was naturally a soufflé as a small dessert; the rest wasn't particularly important.

Su Jiaoniang asked Futu, "How was it? What did the teacher teach you?"

"Reading." Reading with head swaying, you have to sway your head to read.

If he develops this habit, he won't have any problems with his cervical spine when he gets older. He's truly a good teacher.

"Mother, when are we going to start raising pigs, cattle, and sheep? Your son doesn't want to study hard anymore; he wants to be a cowherd." Herding cattle would allow Chang Dali and others to come and share the burden, so he could slack off and do other things in between.

Confined to a private school to study, he could only shake his head.

Time is so precious, how can we spend it reading?

"?? You want to be a cowherd?" Su Jiaoniang reached out and touched her heart.

Why is my child's ambition so strange?

Being a cowherd isn't necessarily a bad thing. If one can live a peaceful and stable life as a cowherd, with happiness and success in everything, that is a kind of great happiness.

She was about to nod.

Gu Xizhou suddenly spoke up: "No!"

Su Jiaoniang looked at Gu Xizhou: "Why can't my son herd cattle?"

"Can he shovel manure for cows, sheep, and pigs every day? Can he keep the area clean? If a little kid can't keep it clean, who will be responsible, or..." Gu Xizhou's gaze fell on Futu: "Do you think herding cattle is just about leading a herd of cows to graze?"

"Isn't that right?" Futu had seen the village's little shepherd boy before.

"You only raise one cow?" Lu Wujiu sneered.

Lu Futu? ??? What can one be enough for! It's not even enough for Doctor Liu to study.

Su Jiaoniang smiled gently. Putting aside the fact that she couldn't afford to start a farm right now, even if she could, she couldn't hire child laborers, especially not very clever ones. Her tender gaze fell on Futu: "Good son, eat your food. You're still young and need to continue your studies. When you're older, you can do whatever you want, and your mother will support you."

Fu Tu clenched his little fists. Seeing Gu Xizhou turn and leave, he immediately followed and said a harsh word: "You are not allowed to spy on my mother in the future. I will not allow this marriage."

"With your permission?" Lu Wujiu scoffed. Ever since he learned that this little kid was his son, he had been thinking about many things every day.

The child's personality has already gone astray. He's still young and doesn't see anything wrong with what he does. But when he grows up, he'll inevitably do bad things.

Sending a child to a conservative place to change their temperament isn't a bad decision for a woman, but it takes a very long time to see results.

Fortunately, the child has something to hold him back.

He would never test a woman's limits unless she allowed it.

As long as there are women in this world, children won't stray too far. Women don't understand yet, but if a cub is a fierce wolf, then the woman is the rope around the wolf's neck. Wherever she pulls, the child will charge into battle.

So... there's no need to send it to Master Li at all.

Of course, he wouldn't say it now, but since Futu dislikes his old father so much, he needs to be tempered in the private school.

Lu Wujiu walked towards the study.

From the small courtyard, the pagoda gazes towards the capital. If Jun Chaoyang doesn't come soon, his beautiful mother will be taken away by bad guys.

It seems he needs to find a way to bring Jun Wuyang to Lucheng.

Recently, he sorted through the memories in his dreams and concluded that the emperor of the neighboring country, Xiao Changsheng, had secretly died in Lucheng, which is why Jun Chaoyang came here to deal with the matter.

Now, Changsheng is not only alive, but also living a good life.

Could a living emperor bring Jun Chao back from his illness?

Futu fell into deep thought!

If the news of immortality is leaked, will it bring unpredictable risks to our family?

In conclusion, the risk is very high.

We still need to lure him over with a private matter that Jun Chaoyang cares about!
