"Do you know that Gu Xizhou also likes my mother? Aren't you afraid that his heart will change, and what identity will you use to come back then? Do you intend to become a concubine?" Fu Tu asked.
...
Lu Wujiu's expression became more complicated. Gu Xizhou was him, and Lu Wujiu was also him.
He had never considered doing something like this.
But the fact that the child uttered those two words proves that the concept of "little" exists in his mind. Does this brat actually want to find several men to serve his woman?
...
The conversation that took place in the snow at night was unknown to anyone except those present at the time.
Su Jiaoniang was still busy running her small breeding farm, wondering if she should ask Deng Shi to come and help, so that at least she could have a proper job. The original owner of this body was worried about her younger brother and father.
She went home and told Old Su, the scholar, about it.
The old scholar shook his head: "What can she do with her clumsy hands and feet?"
“My sister-in-law is pregnant again. Raising cattle isn’t tiring. She can just boil some water and sweep the cowshed. She can’t keep washing clothes in the county town. The water there is icy and not good for her health,” Su Jiaoniang said.
The old scholar was taken aback and looked at Su Jiaoniang: "Pregnant again?"
“Indeed, it’s a joyous occasion,” Su Jiaoniang continued. “If we stay in the county town, it’s inconvenient to travel back and forth. I’m thinking of buying our old house back. It’s always more comfortable to live in our own home, don’t you think?”
Moreover, she didn't want to drag herself along and take care of people.
If the Deng family were willing, they could even make some money by helping with cattle raising.
Although we may not become extremely wealthy, it's still better than what we have now.
It's better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish. She can't keep treating the original owner's younger brother like a giant baby. Give him a chance, and we'll see how he develops.
Old Scholar Su took a deep breath.
He agreed to Su Jiaoniang's arrangement.
We need to give our daughter-in-law a decent but not tiring job! Raising cattle isn't easy either, but it's much more comfortable than washing clothes.
Having received Old Scholar Su's promise, Su Jiaoniang headed towards the county town.
When Ms. Deng heard that she would be able to live at home and have a proper job in the future, she immediately agreed.
Although I'm not helping in the kitchen, it's still better than washing clothes with ice water.
Su Li had no objection to Su Jiaoniang's arrangements.
His face was simple and honest, and when he looked at Su Jiaoniang, his eyes still held the light of childhood. He felt a little sad. He was so useless. He hadn't taken good care of his wife or his father. His sister had helped him time and time again.
After Su Jiaoniang left, he instructed Deng to do a good job.
Ms. Deng smiled and agreed.
In Sweetwater Village.
After cleaning the farm for several days, we finally settled the calf there.
Staring at the meat on the little fat calf, Su Jiaoniang immediately thought of the deliciousness of steak, the aroma of braised beef, and thoughts of beef bones, beef, tripe, and so on.
When these cows grow up, will they be eaten or eaten?
Su Jiaoniang quickly looked away, not wanting to see the adorable calves. She worried that if she looked at them too much, she would develop a soft spot for them and wouldn't be able to bring herself to slaughter them.
"Madam, the magistrate has arrived." At this moment, Madam Xie walked in from outside and whispered when she saw Su Jiaoniang.
The county magistrate? What is he doing here? Su Jiaoniang's eyes were filled with doubt.
"The magistrate also has that Gu Li by his side." Knowing that Su Jiaoniang didn't like Gu Li, Madam Xie brought this up from the beginning.
Upon hearing Gu Li's name, Su Jiaoniang immediately knew why Magistrate Hu had come here.
Aside from seeking out Doctor Liu to treat Gu Li's health, there was nothing else.
Given Dr. Liu's temper, how could he possibly tolerate Gu Li's unreasonable behavior when Gu Lin was getting treatment there last time?
"Go back." Although he wouldn't help Gu Li, he still had to see Magistrate Hu.
Living in the same place, we see each other all the time. Even if we can't become friends, we shouldn't make an enemy of ourselves.
Lu Wujiu followed Su Jiaoniang at a distance, and the two returned to the courtyard together.
I walked back to my own courtyard.
Su Jiaoniang saw the old scholar Su and Magistrate Hu sitting and chatting under the eaves, as well as Gu Li fawning over Magistrate Hu from behind.
Old Scholar Su entertained Magistrate Hu, a man who had experienced many hardships in his life and was slightly unaccustomed to dealing with people. However, Magistrate Hu did not care at all; he was very tactful and talked with Old Scholar Su about academic matters.
In his area of expertise, Old Scholar Su was quite adept at handling the tasks.
So when Su Jiaoniang returned home, she saw the two of them chatting happily.
"Madam Su is back?" Hearing voices behind him, Magistrate Hu stood up. As he spoke, his gaze fell on Lu Wujiu, and his smile faltered.
All previous plans vanished in an instant; why was this god of death here again?
What merit or ability does Lucheng possess? The people who have come here are either factory supervisors or regents. Can't we let him be a local emperor and enjoy the treatment that a local emperor should have?
He slightly bent his raised back and turned to look at Gu Li, a hint of ambiguity in his eyes.
Gu Li was puzzled, but she smiled knowingly.
She stared at Lu Wujiu, her eyes filled with regret.
This person didn't say they wouldn't come back.
Cai Runiang lied to her.
He clenched his fist, his pink nails digging into his palm.
He tried his best to suppress the admiration and jealousy in his eyes.
"Sister Su, I begged the adults to come to you. I'm not feeling well. Last time, I was in so much pain that I said the wrong thing and people misunderstood you. Please forgive me this once?"
"Not good." Su Jiaoniang looked at Magistrate Hu with a half-smile.
She was utterly fed up with people like Gu Li.
A hint of embarrassment flashed in Magistrate Hu's eyes. He turned to look at Gu Li. The young girl seemed quite sincere. If it were him, he would have forgiven her.
Women are indeed difficult to deal with.
He sighed inwardly, "Aren't you going to see your brother? Go back. I'll stay here for a while and then head back to the county town."
"Didn't you say you were going to take care of your health?" Gu Li asked softly.
Magistrate Hu shook his head. Doctor Liu has a strange temper; he can't be treated today.
Otherwise, would they dare to make things difficult for his woman in front of the Regent?
This isn't an old man hanging himself.
After exchanging a few words with Su Jiaoniang, Magistrate Hu turned his gaze to Lu Wujiu and asked, "How long do you plan to stay here?"
"..." Lu Wujiu glanced at Magistrate Hu, thinking he would stay as long as he could.
Magistrate Hu shrugged, gave a wry smile, and didn't press the matter further.
Old Scholar Su rubbed his eyes, thinking he had misjudged the situation. The local official was actually somewhat afraid of this person. Who was he?
And just now, when Gu Li apologized, his daughter coldly rejected him... This attitude is something his beloved daughter would never have.
But the person in front of her wasn't a bad person either.
She was helping her daughter-in-law and taking care of the children.
He shook his head, no longer wanting to think about it: "I'm feeling a little sleepy, I'm going to take a nap."
Su Jiaoniang asked Xie Shi to help the old scholar Su back to his room.
She didn't miss the look that Old Su, the scholar, had given her earlier.
My heart is filled with sorrow and disappointment.
As expected... you can't hide things from your closest people.
Even though we haven't seen each other for many years.
