An ox cart stopped at the gate of the Cao family compound. The one driving the cart was Sun Bailian's husband Cao Gang. Sun Bailian had returned home and asked his husband to help. Otherwise, with Silang's family of the Cao family, some were disabled, some were young, and Qi Wanfeng was the only one left who was now pregnant. There was only so much she could do alone, and it was probably difficult for her to even move.
Cao Gang walked into the Cao family compound, and just glanced at the people in the yard indifferently, giving people a sense of intimidation without anger. He turned around and walked towards the small house where Qi Wanfeng's family of three lived.
The people standing in the yard saw Cao Gang entering their house with disrespect and didn't dare to say a word. Chen Zhu stood at the door of Qi Wanfeng's room, as if she was afraid that Qi Wanfeng had stolen something from their house. Cao's father did not go to the fields today. He sat at the door of the main hall with his head down, smoking a pipe.
"Husband of the Bailian family, please make a trip." Qi Wanfeng was no stranger to Cao Gang. This taciturn man was very kind to Sun Bailian, so Sun Bailian lived a very good life after marrying Cao Gang.
Qi Wanfeng was happy for his good friend to live
a good life. "You're welcome." Cao Gang walked into the house and took a look. There was no expression on his face. "Have you packed everything?" he asked.
"Everything is packed." Qi Wanfeng nodded. In fact, there was nothing to take away. There were only a few things in the house, so there was no need to pack them up.
An An timidly called out "Uncle."
Cao Gang's big hand touched An An's head, and there was an imperceptible tenderness in his eyes. "The ox cart is outside the door, let's take all the things up." He said.
"Okay." Qi Wanfeng patted the child at his feet, knowing that the child was a little scared today and kept clinging to him. "An An, can you help mom move the things to the ox cart?" he asked.
"Okay, An An will work too." An An has always been a very well-behaved child. He was very happy to see his mom asking him to help. Cao Xiangnan sat on the bed in the room. His legs and feet were not convenient now, so he couldn't help at all. He felt a little frustrated and felt that he couldn't help at all.
When Cao Gang came in, he searched for information about this person in his memory. Qi Wanfeng and Sun Bailian from his family were friends. Cao Gang came to help for Qi Wanfeng's sake, and it definitely wouldn't be Cao Xiangnan. The first impression Cao Gang gave him was that this man had a tough appearance, a serious face, and was not smiling. But he knew that this kind of person looked unapproachable and difficult to get along with, but in fact, such a man was a real man.
I have the impression that he and Cao Gang did not have much contact. Cao Gang returned to Caojia Village five years ago. When his parents died, he went to his uncle's house. In a conscription by the imperial court, his uncle pushed him out to replace his cousin to serve in the army. He was away for ten years. When everyone thought he died on the battlefield, he came back alive five years ago and heard that he brought back a lot of money. His uncle wanted to arrange a marriage for him and get more benefits from him. Unfortunately, Cao Gang was no longer the easy-to-bully person he was back then. In the end, he dealt with his uncle's family and took back the occupied land.
Therefore, this man had a bad reputation in the village. No one was willing to marry their son to him, and he was already very old when he came back. But it was at that time that Sun Bailian fell in love with this man at first sight and married him despite the opposition of her family. In the end, facts proved that Sun Bailian's choice was correct.
The predecessor of this body did not like Cao Gang. Like many people in this village, Cao Xiangnan also felt that Cao Gang was unfilial and disregarded family affection. He was a heartless and ungrateful person. But he from the 21st century was the opposite. He admired people like Cao Gang very much.
