With the ox dead and the oxcart no longer pulled by it, Jiang Tangtang had no choice but to get off the cart and lead Lu Chenyan on their way.
The cut beef that Lu Shiyan had prepared was wrapped in cowhide and placed on the oxcart. The oxcart, which was originally pulled by oxen, was now being pushed by him in a different direction.
"Third brother, we're here to help you." Lu Shiwang and Lu Shichang finished cleaning the cow's internal organs and quickly ran over to say.
"No need." Lu Shiyan said calmly, refusing their offer of help.
Seeing how easily he handled the heavy oxcart, and recalling how easily he had lifted an ox earlier, the two men were filled with admiration but also some confusion.
Kung Fu could be attributed to the younger brother hiding his true abilities before, or perhaps he gained some insight after his injury, which suddenly improved his skills significantly. But can strength really increase so much all at once?
Moreover, when they found their younger brother, he was so badly injured. In their opinion, even if he could be saved, he would probably need to recover for ten days to half a month, but such a serious injury seemed to have healed very quickly.
Lu Shiwang said, "Third brother, did you have some kind of extraordinary encounter this time? I feel that not only has your kung fu improved, but you are also stronger than before."
Jiang Tangtang couldn't help but turn to look at Lu Shiyan, wanting to see how this time-traveling immortal would answer Brother Lu's doubts.
Judging from his performance over the past two days, he has not deliberately concealed the differences between himself and the original owner, nor has he deliberately hidden his strength.
He returned from the mountains with his prey, but unlike the refugees fleeing famine in the countryside, he didn't try to hide it; everything about him seemed open and honest.
Jiang Tangtang thought that either he was inherently arrogant, or he was used to being a powerful figure who disdained to hide his true feelings and regarded everyone else as ants. So, would he give a completely honest answer to the questions from the original owner's two brothers?
Just as Jiang Tangtang was staring at Lu Shiyan, wanting to hear his answer, Madam Su came over and patted Lu Shiwang, calling both of her sons over.
Jiang Tangtang didn't know what she had secretly told her two sons, and when they returned, they didn't ask Lu Shiyan why his strength had suddenly increased.
Instead, they tried to please her, just like Su Shi did. And their attempts to please her were tinged with a sense of caution.
She looked at Lu Shiyan with a hint of envy.
Jiang Tangtang had no idea what they were up to, and she wasn't in the mood to care.
Life became too hard without the oxcart.
At first, she could barely keep up with the group, but she slowed down more and more, and eventually, she and Lu Chenyan fell to the back of the group.
Noticing that the two were falling behind the group, Lu Shiyan slowed down and waited for the mother and son.
Because of Su's excessive overthinking, she then passed on the information she had imagined to her husband, son, daughter-in-law, and others.
The Lu family showed rare patience towards Jiang Tangtang's obvious dragging down the group. No one blamed her or showed any impatience; they all stopped and waited for her, just like Lu Shiyan.
Jiang Tangtang was exhausted and wanted to put on a show to improve her public image, so she said to Lu Shiyan in a coquettish tone, "Husband, I can't walk anymore, can you carry me on your back..."
Luo Taohua looked at Jiang Tangtang with the eyes of someone looking at a madwoman.
She didn't want to believe her mother-in-law's claim that her third brother had recovered so quickly and gained superhuman strength because he was cared for by a deity.
But Lu Shiyan's injuries healed too miraculously, and all of this happened after Jiang Tangtang received divine guidance. It was too much of a coincidence; besides the fact that it was divine care, as her mother-in-law said, she couldn't think of any other reason.
This forced her to believe it.
Even if Jiang Tangtang was enlightened by the gods and became their disciple, and her whole family benefited from it, isn't this just too much of a show of favoritism?
Didn't you see the man pushing the oxcart? That oxcart alone must weigh several hundred pounds, not to mention the things on it.
Only my brother-in-law has superhuman strength now; if it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't even be able to push an oxcart.
Instead of offering help, she actually wanted a man to carry her.
However, fearing that she would offend Jiang Tangtang and be punished by the gods, she did not dare to stand up and speak against Jiang Tangtang as usual.
She even felt a bit scared when she secretly blamed Jiang Tangtang in her heart, fearing that the immortals would see through her little thoughts.
But Luo Taohua dared not say it, and neither would the other members of the Lu family, but that doesn't mean others wouldn't say it either.
Unlike other villagers, the Fang family always relied on their kinship to be closest to the Lu family when they fled famine.
Today, while other villagers were too embarrassed to leave early because they had previously tried to take advantage of the Lu family, the Fang family stayed behind and waited for the Lu family to travel together.
At this moment, the Lu family stopped to wait for Jiang Tangtang, and the Fang family also stopped.
Lu Cuilan was the first to stand up and accuse Jiang Tangtang, saying, "Jiang, this is really too outrageous. Sanlang is pushing such a big oxcart all by himself. You don't care that he's helping, and you even make him carry it. You wicked woman, I'm going to teach you a lesson for my sister-in-law today."
Jiang Tangtang didn't even bother to glance at her. She looked at Lu Shiyan pitifully, "Husband..."
Before her tears could fall, Lu Shiyan glared coldly at Lu Cuilan, saying, "My own wife doesn't need outsiders to discipline her."
After saying that, she quickly cleared a space on the oxcart and said gently to Jiang Tangtang, "I'll push you."
Jiang Tangtang stood still, looking aggrieved, and said, "But they all say I'm inconsiderate. Won't you feel too tired if I do this?"
"I'm willing." Lu Shiyan said helplessly, "I'm willing to push you. I didn't think things through just now. I'm sorry for making you suffer."
Will Jiang Tangtang just let this go?
No, it won't.
Seeing that her unreasonable request instantly boosted her image value by 5 points, she pressed on, "But there was a bloody smell on the oxcart, which made me feel uncomfortable. I don't want to ride in the oxcart."
Fang Peiru disregarded her mother's instructions and strode over to Lu Shiyan and Jiang Tangtang. She wanted nothing more than to rush up and tear apart Jiang Tangtang's bewitching face, which looked like a vixen.
She clenched her fists, staring intently at Lu Shiyan, waiting for him to berate Jiang Tangtang and then throw the divorce papers in her face.
“Then I’ll carry you on my back,” Lu Shiyan conceded. “But I’ll have to push the oxcart with my hands. If you climb onto my back, will you be able to hold on?”
To be honest, Jiang Tangtang was stunned.
She never expected that the male lead would not be angry in the face of her unreasonable request, and would actually agree to it.
If the male lead loved her, she could understand his agreement, but now she simply cannot understand it.
She frantically called out to the system in her mind, "Tell me honestly, is the male lead also on a mission?"
The system replied firmly: 【No, absolutely not! I swear on my life!】
What happened?
"Then I don't know."
Jiang Tangtang didn't get an answer from the system, but she really wanted to know where the male lead's bottom line was.
Does that mean you'll agree to any request she makes?
She pouted and said coquettishly, "I want to sit on your shoulders."
