Chapter 10

As if feeling he hadn’t done well enough, Tang Zhou quickly walked to the well in the Lu family courtyard, and lifted the stone well cover with both hands.

That was a well cover that two grown men could only lift!

Tang Zhou, a child, lifted it easily!

Everyone’s mouths were slightly agape, their eyes wide with astonishment. Even Lu Huaijing was full of surprise.

At first, he only thought that Tang Zhou was a bit strong, but he didn’t expect him to be so strong!

He was well-suited for the army, Lu Huaijing’s eyes shone with light as he looked at Tang Zhou.

Everyone was stunned in place, it was the bowl falling from Lu Huai Mei’s hand that startled them.

Tang Wan said calmly, “My brother may be young, but he’s not weak, he can protect me.”

“I can also do farm work, I won’t eat for free!”

Tang Zhou proudly raised his chin, this was a plan he and his sister had secretly discussed on the train, they couldn’t let the Lu family look down on them.

Otherwise, they would definitely take advantage of the situation and bully his sister.

Didn’t that elder sister-in-law just think his sister was delicate and weak!

Everyone: …

Tang Wan wouldn’t tell Tang Zhou that this was deliberately done for the Lu family, to prevent them from secretly bullying Tang Zhou when she wasn’t around.

“Zhouzhou, you’re amazing!”

Wang Dani slapped her thigh in surprise, her face full of smiles, “Third son, what are you still standing there for, bring your wife and younger brother over to eat.”

Because of Tang Zhou’s performance, even Li Cuihua was quiet, Lu Huai Mei wanted to say something, but her brother Lu Huai Yi pulled her, and she shut her mouth.

“Sit.” Lu Huaijing placed their luggage in the main room, Wang Dani brought over three stools, Tang Wan pulled Tang Zhou to sit beside Lu Huaijing.

The dishes on the table were not good, a large pot of dried radish, a large pot of wild vegetable porridge.

Wang Dani picked up a spoon and filled Tang Wan’s bowl with porridge, it was very thick, more porridge than soup.

She also filled a bowl for Tang Zhou, and when she was filling Lu Huaijing’s bowl, Li Cuihua couldn’t help but speak, she pouted.

“Mother, there are so many of us, it’s not enough to eat!”

“If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re a mute!”

Wang Dani’s biggest regret was marrying a daughter-in-law who was so talkative, she was always making her angry.

As she spoke, she handed Tang Wan and the others a cornbread each, the texture was not good, it scratched the throat.

But seeing Lu Huaijing eat with gusto, Tang Wan also lowered her head and ate.

With the addition of the three of them, the atmosphere was a bit strange, Tang Wan noticed that Wang Dani scolded them, but she didn’t short anyone’s food.

Only when it was her turn, there was almost no rice left in the porridge, and only half a cornbread left.

The heart of a mother is the most pitiful in the world.

Tang Wan’s heart ached, Lu Huaijing’s mother was a good mother, just like the original owner’s mother.

As soon as the food was served, everyone wolfed it down, as if afraid of being robbed.

Tang Wan finally saw the life of scarcity in this era, even a decent family could only eat six or seven points full.

After traveling so far, Lu Huaijing was also hungry, he finished his lunch in a few bites.

Tang Wan handed the remaining half of the cornbread to Lu Huaijing, Lu Huaijing was stunned for a moment, then he felt a little embarrassed.

“You eat it yourself.”

She was so petite and thin, how could she not eat more?

“I’m full.”

Tang Wan knew that Lu Huaijing was so tall, this little bit wouldn’t be enough for him, her stomach was small, she really couldn’t eat anymore.

Seeing that she didn’t seem to be lying, Lu Huaijing once again sighed in admiration that he had married a good wife, he took the cornbread and ate it in a few bites.

Wang Dani caught a glimpse of this scene, she was extremely satisfied, this was a woman who knew how to care for her man, Lu Huaijing’s life would be good in the future.

After the meal, Li Cuihua muttered as she cleaned up the dishes, Wang Dani warmly pulled Tang Wan’s hand.

“Third son, let Zhouzhou sleep with your younger brother, I’ll make the bed for you now.”

She carried Tang Wan’s cloth bag, while Lu Huaijing carried her suitcase, Tang Wan finally had time to look around the Lu family.

Lu Huaijing was the child of a martyr, he had his father’s allowance in his early years, after his father died, he had his own allowance.

Therefore, the Lu family was considered a well-off family in the entire Shi Ping brigade, a row of wooden houses, with the main room in the middle.

There were four rooms on each side of the main room, each of their siblings had a room, one was for Wang Dani, and one was the kitchen.

After Lu Huai Li got married, her room was now used by her grandchildren.

Wang Dani asked Lu Huai Yi to take Tang Zhou to his room, while she took Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing back to his former room.

The room was very clean, about twenty square meters, it was obvious that Wang Dani often came to clean it.

The furniture was also made of wood, Wang Dani made the bed for them, her eyes fell on Tang Wan’s forehead with a look of doubt.

“Third son’s wife, is your head alright?”

“It’s alright.”

Tang Wan lowered her eyes, “I accidentally bumped it when something happened at home, my mother deliberately wrapped it so exaggeratedly.”

She had a spring of spiritual water in her space, she had been using the spring water to wipe her wound these past two days, the wound had already scabbed over.

“It’s good, it’s good that it’s alright.”

Wang Dani’s face was full of smiles, “Third son’s wife, you’ve been on the train for so long, take a good rest for a while.

I’m watching over your brother, no one will dare bully him!”

“Thank you, mother.”

So far, Wang Dani gave Tang Wan a good impression, she was willing to respect her, so she stopped Wang Dani.

“Mother, wait a minute.”

“What’s wrong? Is there anything missing in the room?”

Wang Dani was full of confusion, but she saw Tang Wan open her cloth bag and take out a bag of biscuits.

“Mother, I saw you didn’t eat much just now, have some biscuits to fill your stomach.”

Wang Dani didn’t know when they would arrive home, so she didn’t make their portion when cooking.

When she gave them her portion, it touched Tang Wan’s heart.

“No, no, mother is not hungry.”

Wang Dani’s impression of Tang Wan was even better, she was generous and kind, unlike Li Cuihua, she didn’t get a single thing from her when she married into the family.

“If she gives it to you, just take it.”

Lu Huaijing saw that Tang Wan was a little hesitant, he quickly spoke for her, “My wife is showing respect to you.”

“Okay, okay.”

Wang Dani held the biscuits as if she were holding something precious, she quickly left the room, Lu Huaijing’s lips curled up slightly.

But Tang Wan looked at the brand new bunk bed and was at a loss, the bed was supported by four wooden pillars, except for the front, the other sides were also enclosed with wooden boards.

It wasn’t as fancy as the ancient canopy beds, but it was still a good thing, she was a little confused.

“What’s wrong, don’t you like it?”

Lu Huaijing had also seen this bed for the first time, he smiled and explained, “I guess my mother knew we were coming back.

So she hurriedly asked the carpenter uncle in the village to make it, it’s our wedding bed.”

He took leave to rush to North City and it took him two days, then he took a train for a day and a night, it was already the fourth day of his vacation, it was just right for the bed to be made.

“It’s pretty good.”

Tang Wan was also from the south before she crossed over, she had only slept on a Simmons bed since she was a child, she had only seen this kind of bed online.

“You rest, I’m not tired.”

Since they entered the door, Lu Huaijing had guessed that she wouldn’t be comfortable sleeping with him, so he generously offered the bed to Tang Wan.

“Okay.”

Tang Wan didn’t force him, she hadn’t gotten a good rest on the train, she lay down under the sun-drenched quilt and drifted off to sleep.
