CHAPTER 27

Lin Chuxia had no objection to Xie Jingming going to the mountains to be busy and said softly, “Then be careful, and don’t be too tired.”

Then she turned around and went back to the room. You don’t need it to rest at noon; that doesn’t mean I don’t need it either.

Lin Chuxia’s attitude towards Xie Jingming was just saying a word to him and going back to the room. He was very indifferent. On the contrary, he felt that it was good like this and didn’t require too much warmth and other messy things.

He went out directly because Xie Jingming didn’t know what he could say to Lin Chuxia if he stayed at home, so he might as well just go to work.

At this time, Lin Qiu Shuang was in a daze. Xie Jingming was back… Could it be that her rebirth was just a dream? The hardships she suffered in her previous life were still there, and it hurt every time she thought about it.

But why did Xie Jingming come back?

Why!!! Lin Chuxia married him, and Xie Jingming came back safe and sound. When she herself married Xie Jingming, why couldn’t Xie Jingming come back in her previous life?

With such confusion, Lin Qiu Shuang returned. When she arrived at home, Sun Xiangxue was already fast asleep.

For a moment, Lin Qiu Shuang felt a little impatient and bored with this ordinary-looking Sun Xiangxue, who scolded and pointed at her every day.

After all, when will Sun Xiangxue become prosperous? She no longer wants to live her current life.

“Xiangxue! Xiangxue!” Lin Qiu Shuang stretched out her hand and pushed Sun Xiangxue twice, with a slightly unhappy look on her face as she shouted there.

Sun Xiangxue was still asleep, but when he was woken up, he felt angry and opened his eyes impatiently, “What are you doing?”

“Xiangxue, we are doing hard work every day; when can we have a peaceful life?” Lin Qiu Shuang used her own cryptic expressions and expressed her thoughts in words, hoping that Sun Xiangxue could rise up and stop being so decadent.

“Do you think I don’t know how hard it is? I want to rest too!” Sun Xiangxue felt that Lin Qiu Shuang was really ugly and made trouble. Their daughter-in-law didn’t work hard at home, but she just pretended to be tired all day long.

The key is that Lin Qiu Shuang is average-looking, not particularly good-looking, not even as good-looking as the educated youth in the city.

Otherwise, Sun Xiangxue would definitely have a better attitude towards Lin Qiu Shuang.

Lin Qiu Shuang looked a little resentful after being disliked. She remembered that Lin Chuxia didn’t have to do anything at home; she only had to cut pig grass in the morning.

Facing the situation she faced, Lin Qiu Shuang felt aggrieved, sad, and a little regretful.

However, no matter how much you regret it, it will not help. You can only encourage yourself silently in your heart. It will be okay. Xiangxue will succeed soon. As long as you persist in the next two years…

After comforting yourself in your heart, Lin Qiu Shuang finally felt a little more balanced in her heart. She had to go to the fields to harvest in the afternoon, so she would take a nap first…

As for Xie Jingming’s return, apart from Lin Qiu Shuang, everyone in the Li family and the Xie family were particularly concerned about it. One of them felt that they had been beaten by Lin Chuxia before. They were bullied. As a soldier, Xie Jingming wouldn’t take advantage of them and will help get justice.

The other one thought that as Xie Jingming’s elder, their niece-in-law, Lin Chuxia, was so unfilial and should be taught a lesson. Dun, it’s best to apologize or something…

“Jingming, it’s good that you come back. Your wife should give us an explanation for stealing one of our chickens.” Li family Goudan’s mother just came back from Plum Tree, Goudan’s father has had nausea recently, and the sour plums are just enough to calm his panic.

As soon as she saw Xie Jingming, she immediately remembered the day when Lin Chuxia beat their family and took away a chicken.

Suddenly she couldn’t walk anymore and shouted angrily at Xie Jingming.

“Hmm.” He has been in the village for a long time. He grew up here. How could he not know the situation of the Li family?

“Why, Jing Ming, do you want to deny it?” Goudan’s mother’s eyes widened when she saw him like this, and she was very angry. Staring at him, “How can you allow your own wife to bully poor people like us?”

“Sister-in-law, I don’t think Lin Chuxia has this ability. If you want to wrongly accuse someone, please find a better excuse first.” Xie Jingming remembered that the sister-in-law Li and Aunt Li in front of him were not easy to mess with.

Now… how could Xie Jingming believe such words when she came to him?

“You don’t believe it?” Goudan’s mother was immediately furious. Did he not want to admit his fault? “You soldiers still bully us common people!!!”

“Sister-in-law, if this is really the case, I think the captain will uphold justice and will not favor others.” If the captain is biased, according to his interpretation of the Li family’s wife, it will turn the world upside down.

As soon as she heard Xie Jingming mention the captain, the expression on her face became a little bit weird, indignant, and a little angry at the same time.

If it weren’t for… it’s all Goudan’s fault; I’ll beat Goudan up when I go back soon, damn it!

“If you don’t believe me, you go back and question Lin Chuxia about the fact that your family robbed my chicken. Anyway, our family’s chicken was snatched away! It’s really disgusting,” Goudan’s mother said indignantly.

The most important thing… is because she looked at the serious face of Xie Jingming in front of her, and when he looked over with those sharp eyes, she felt a little guilty…

“Jingming, don’t you get a lot of salary and allowances as a soldier? It only costs two yuan to buy a candy.” Goudan’s mother said angrily, “I need to talk to Aunt Luo Tang about this matter.”

Xie Jingming thought she was talking about the few kilograms of candy he brought back. “They are all for my children.”

Goudan rolled her eyes, but she didn’t believe it. Xie Jingming was back, and how could Aunt Luo Tang  hold back from making a fuss.?

Seeing Goudan’s mother leaving with anger, Xie Jingming felt confused. The figure of Lin Chuxia appeared in his mind again. She looked delicate and frail, not like a person who could work or…someone who would do that kind of thing. It’s impossible to snatch the chicken. If such a thing is really done, will the Li family be mute? Can’t they shout, chase, or make trouble?

So, Xie Jingming quickly brushed this episode aside, ignored it, and went up the mountain. When it came to chopping firewood, the family only had Lin Chuxia, a delicate girl, and three immature children, so they couldn’t do any heavy work.

Goudan’s mother went to find Aunt Luo Tang immediately, but she didn’t believe it—that the Xie family really didn’t care about anything.

Of course Aunt Luo Tang knew that Xie Jingming was back, but the relationship between them and Xie Jingming was really… As others thought, Xie Jingming had a quarrel with the Xie family when he came back last time.

Coupled with Lin Chuxia’s ferocious and violent beating actions, anyone who saw it didn’t dare go.

Goudan’s mother and asked, “Are you afraid?” which made Aunt Luo Tang immediately shudder and get angry. She retorted, “Who is scared? You are scared, right?”

“By the way, wasn’t a chicken robbed from your house? Why don’t you dare to go and ask for it?” In order to make herself feel less guilty, Aunt Luo Tang also went out of her way to make the other uncomfortable.

When she said this, her ferocious eyes were fixed on Goudan’s mother, pretending to be like this to make Goudan’s mother shut up and stop calling her.

Goudan’s mother expression turned gloomy when Aunt Luo Tang said that, and then she glared angrily.

“You are an elder; still you are being bullied by your nephew and wife. Ah, ahhh so useless, bah.” Goudan’s mother still feels a dull pain where she was hit by Lin Chuxia, so what can she do? Nothing can be done!

Aunt Luo Tang was treated like this, and her face turned red.

“Mom, what are you doing there? Go home and take a nap; we have to go to the fields in the afternoon!” The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xie family came out to pour water and saw them muttering together.

The eldest daughter-in-law recalled in her mind the scene where Lin Chuxia severely beat up the Li family that day and successfully threatened the captain, so she immediately stopped her.

No matter what my mother wanted to do, she wouldn’t allow it. Isn’t it embarrassing enough to be tied to a pillar and beaten by people in the village?

Aunt Luo Tang felt herself extremely irritable after being yelled at by her eldest daughter-in-law. Urging, urging, like a ghost urging someone to death!!

Aunt Luo Tang was indeed stimulated for a moment and wanted to go to Lin Chuxia to settle the score, but now… there is no way; her family is still watching. Aunt Luo Tang also remembered what she had done before, pursed her lips, and finally ignored Goudan’s mother’s instigation, yawned, and pretended to be tired. “I won’t talk to you anymore; I have to go to the field in the afternoon; it might as well be used for work points. ”

Goudan mother : Bah! Coward!

…

When Xie Jingming came home from chopping firewood and took a hatchet to break it open, the four people who got up from their nap looked a little sleepy as they came out.

Looking at Xie Jingming’s hard-working look, wearing short sleeves, you can still see the strong muscles on his arms. Hey, he has upright and resolute senses, and his eyes are sharp. When he looks at people, there is an inexplicable feeling that he can see through people’s hearts.

Seeing them coming out, he just glanced at them and continued to break the firewood, which would make it easier to dry.

“Dazai, bring Daddy some water.” Lin Chuxia saw that Xie Jingming was not wearing a straw hat under the sun. “Erzai, bring Daddy a straw hat.”

Both Dazai and Erzai were ordered . With their short legs, they had been dragging dry firewood back from the mountains before. They had never hauled firewood as big as their thighs because it was difficult to stuff it into the stove.

The ones dad brought are big ones, so Dad still has some use.

One went to pour the sour juice from the water cup, and the other went to get the straw hat, but there were only four new straw hats at home. He could only choose a straw hat, which was hanging on the opposite side of the hall from a long time ago.

Xie Jingming, who was chopping wood with a hatchet, received care from his son, who handed him a glass of water.

“Drink.” The big cub with a milky voice pretended to be cool. He originally wanted to call him daddy, but then he remembered that he didn’t even call Lin Chuxia’s ‘mom’, so he skipped it with red ears.

Xie Jingming didn’t care about this at all. When he saw his little boy bringing him water, his serious face softened, and he put down the hatchet in his hand and said, “Okay, thank you, Hong… Dazai.”

Xie Jingming knew that the three children were now called Dazai, Erzai, and Sanzai. It was simple and easy to remember. He took the glass of cold water and drank it all in one gulp.

Then Erzai brought the old straw hat, and Xie Jingming couldn’t help but look at Erzai, still remembering the conditions of the children he saw half a year ago.

He didn’t like to talk much, and he stood there a little timidly without much sense of presence. What impressed him most was the situation he had dreamed about in his dream.

The skinny little boy was scolded, and there was no trace of life in him at all.

“Thank you, Erzai.” He took the straw hat and didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Lin Chuxia with sincere eyes. “Thank you; the children have been raised well by you.”

Lin Chuxia: That’s true. If it weren’t for me, the three children would definitely not be as happy as they are now.

Only the Sanzai looked at the scene in front of him. He stretched out his short hand and pulled the corner of Lin Chuxia’s clothes. He raised his head and asked her softly, “What about me?”

Both Dazai and Erzai were assigned to work, and only he was not given any work. Sanzai was a little unhappy for no reason.

“Go and get a towel for Dad to wipe off the sweat.” Lin Chuxia thought for a moment, and it seemed that there was nothing else she needed to do. Finally, she thought of an excuse or reason to fool the third child.

Sanzai didn’t think much about it. Instead, he took up his short legs and ran back into the house quickly…

Finally, he dug out a small rag from somewhere. After running out, he stopped again and hesitated.

He, who was already relatively timid, could relax in front of Lin Chuxia, but in front of Xie Jingming, who had been away from home for more than half a year, his steps stopped there.

“What’s wrong?” Xie Jingming was not deaf. He naturally heard the conversation between Lin Chuxia and Sanzai just now, and his tone softened.

Sanzai looked at Xie Jingming timidly, then glanced at Dazai and Erzai. He mustered up the courage and handed over the small rag in his hand, “Wipe, wipe the sweat.”

Hearing how filial Sanzai was, Xie Jingming couldn’t help but smile. He saw the small rag in Sanzai’s hand and was silent for two seconds.

But looking at Sanzai, who was staring at him timidly, he wanted to refuse, but in the end he didn’t say anything. He took the small rag and wiped his arm casually, “Thank you, Sanzai.”

After Xie Jingming thanked him, a hint of shyness appeared on Sanzai’s face, and then he ran behind Lin Chuxia with short legs, hugged her thigh, and peeked at Xie Jingming.

The eldest and second sons also sat on the small stools at the door. The key was that they had shade here, unlike the big sun outside.

“Aren’t you hot?” Lin Chuxia asked, looking at Xie Jingming sweating profusely, as if she suddenly had a conscience.

“It’s not hot.” This level is nothing. It is much simpler and easier than when he was training in the military camp.

“Oh… why don’t you take a rest? The weather is hot now. We can do it later.” Lin Chuxia reminded me, don’t be in a hurry. There is nothing to do at home.

“No need.” Anyway, he was idle, and when he was idle, he would think about it.

“Okay, then you break the firewood, and when the sun is about to go down, go to the vegetable garden and plow the ground. Other vegetables also need to be watered and fertilized.” Lin Chuxia ordered directly when she saw that Xie Jingming seemed to be very capable.

Xie Jingming didn’t feel anything was wrong after being ordered and nodded in agreement. It was just a trivial matter.

“Let’s go, kids; let’s wash the mulberries and make soup.”
First boil the sweet and sour mulberries into juice, then add sugar… Well, although she does not have a great chef’s skill, it is already a good drink.

It’s not that there aren’t juices, cokes, and other things in her supermarket, but you can’t drink them every day. Drinking too much will not do much good to your body.

“Okay.” The soft little children’s tone also revealed a trace of joy and happiness, and they seemed to be very happy about washing the mulberries and making the sour soup.

He saw Lin Chuxia carrying a vegetable basket with a small half basket of mulberries in it, and the three little cubs followed behind with cheerful steps.

Even Xie Jingming could see how happy they were. They were wearing new straw hats on their heads, which were completely different from the ones they had just given to him.

Xie Jingming:…

“Come, put the basin here, wash your hands first, and then wash the mulberries one by one, you know?” Lin Chuxia coaxed the three little children, with a sweet smile on her face. The little children who washed their hands and the fleshy hands are very cute.

Lin Chuxia pretended to pinch it casually. Ouch, those little hands are so cute.

When washing the mulberries, the red mulberries were sour, but the black mulberries were sour and sweet. Sanzai couldn’t hold it back, so he washed one and put it in his mouth. Unfortunately, he was unlucky. He grinned because it was sour.

Seeing Dazai and the others laughing, Lin Chuxia shook her head helplessly.

“Sanzai, be good and wash well.” Lin Chuxia coaxed Sanzai and washed the mulberries together. Dazai wanted to play in the water, but Lin Chuxia carried him home.

“Xie Jingming, come and take care of your sons; they are going into the water.” A boy cannot just stay with his mother all the time because his father’s masculinity is so obvious.

Educating children is not just a matter for mothers. This is Xie Jingming’s son.

Xie Jingming put down the hatchet in his hand, stood up, and was about to walk over to teach the cool and arrogant cub not to play with water.

The second and third sons were forced to listen to the ‘education course’ with the eldest son. After all, it is normal for children to like playing in water, but as elders, they need to be taught well.
