She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

"In the beginning, a few of us caught a few loaches and took them to Old Yang to stew in a pot. We were having a great chat that day. After he learned that I knew a crude character, he wrote a few more on the ground. My colleagues showed no interest, but I found it very interesting. Later, I would go to him after digging out loaches, hoping that he could teach me more words. Until a few days ago, he suddenly took out a book and told me to copy the book after work every day, and the wages would belong to him. Naturally, I agreed, but I injured my leg before I finished copying the book." Wen Wuyan talked about the past calmly.

At this point, Gu Qingqing also remembered the three taels of silver he gave her when he just came back. At that time, she didn't ask where the silver came from. Now that she had the chance, she asked, "So where did the three taels of silver you gave me come from?"

After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she looked at Wen Wuyan's hands. These hands were not as white, beautiful, or filled with the arrogance of a scholar as described in books.

His hands were rough, with calluses on the palms and scars on the fingers. If there was one good thing about them, it would be that they had slender joints.

After hearing what Gu Qingqing said, Wen Wuyan smiled awkwardly, "It contains the money for digging the canal for the past two months and the compensation given by the manager after I injured my leg."

"Oh, that's not right. Why can't you tell your family that you can read? Who knows, maybe your Wen family can produce two more scholars!"

"In order to support my second brother to go to private school, the whole family has been tightening their belts and cutting back on food. How can we afford to support me? If I go to school too, the work in the fields will fall on my father and eldest brother, and during the busy farming season, they will not have enough time. Besides, you forgot that my second brother doesn't like me learning to read." Wen Wuyan said helplessly.

While making dumplings, Gu Qingqing commented like a charlatan, "If you ask me, your second brother knows that you learn quickly and is afraid that you will surpass him, so he didn't give you the opportunity to learn to read."

Wen Wuyan smiled, agreeing with this statement, so he simply kept the fact that he could read a book a secret from his family.

Gu Qingqing suddenly felt that things were getting a little interesting.

She immediately acted like she had eaten something gossipy. "Wen Wuyan, why don't you go to a private school and take the exam to become a scholar? I really want to see your second brother's expression as if he had eaten a fly."

Wen Wuyan was about to respond when his tongue circled between his lips and teeth and then he retracted it.

Why did he suddenly feel like he was being scolded?

"Qingqing, why do I feel like you are saying I'm a fly?"

"......Hey, shouldn't your focus be on the fact that you have the opportunity to go to a private school?" Gu Qingqing pointed out his faults with a little embarrassment.

"If I go to private school, I won't have to do less housework. I shouldn't let you take care of the children and work in the fields alone. Besides, our family situation has just improved. Let's talk about it later." Wen Wuyan shook his head.

Gu Qingqing ignored his words of "let's talk about it later". Instead, something in her heart was about to burst out. Why did she want so much to see Wen Youcai get slapped in the face by his younger brother whom he looked down upon?

If that were the case, I wonder if the second son of the Wen family would be so angry that he would spit blood?

The more Gu Qingqing thought about it, the more excited she became. She wished she could arrange for Wen Wuyan to go to school right away.

Hey - his legs...

Suddenly no one was talking, and the only sounds in the yard were the bamboo rolling pins and the chopping board.

By the time the thirty buns came out of the pot, the sun was already at its zenith.

It’s not time for dinner yet, but in front of a small wooden house at the foot of the mountain, two adults, two children and a black dog are eating hot steamed buns together, the delicious taste lingers in their mouths!

The next day, Gu Qingqing went to the mountain and cut another bamboo, intending to drag it back to make a bamboo basket for Wen Wuyan.

Dahua took Erhua to continue digging wild vegetables.

At noon, Wen Wuyan wanted to take Dahua out for a walk. Gu Qingqing looked at him hopping on one leg and couldn't bear to ask, "Where are you going?"

"I plan to go find Yuzhu and talk to him about the shed we are building at home."

Gu Qingqing looked at the house outside the village, looked at his legs with some concern, and said, "How about I go and invite him over?"

"I'll go there. I'm sincere."

Gu Qingqing looked at the direction behind him and suddenly laughed, "Hey, you don't have to go, Niu Yuzhu is here by himself!"

Sure enough, when Wen Wuyan looked in the direction her finger pointed, he saw a child sitting on each side of Niu Yuzhu's shoulders, bouncing towards them.

Niu Yuzhu saw the family in front of the wooden house from a distance, and when he got closer he said, "Brother Wuyan, I think you should build a fence here. I didn't feel it before, but now it looks too empty from a distance."

Niu Yuzhu has a solid and straightforward personality. As the saying goes, he has no ulterior motives and just says what he thinks!

Wen Wuyan felt genuine joy and relief at Niu Yuzhu's arrival. "It's easy for you to say that. I would like to build a fence so that your sister-in-law and the child will be safer, but look at my legs!" After Wen Wuyan finished speaking, he shook his injured leg at Niu Yuzhu.

Niu Yuzhu then realized something else. He looked at Wen Wuyan's legs and screamed, "Brother Wuyan, why did you get out of bed? Didn't you say you had to lie down and not move?"

"Uncle, put me down. I want to come down and play." Xiaoyang, who was sitting on Niu Yuzhu's shoulder, spoke.

Xiaoguang on the other shoulder also pouted and said, "Uncle, I want to go down too!"

Niu Yuzhu put his niece/nephew on the ground, told them "don't be naughty", and let them play there.

The bamboo strips on Wen Wuyan's legs were covered by his trouser legs, and Niu Yuzhu couldn't see them at the moment, so he was very surprised how he got out of bed so quickly.

"Your sister-in-law tied me up, so I can move around a little. It's good that you came, otherwise I would have gone to look for you too!" Wen Wuyan said.

"Ah? Something? What do you want me to do?" Niu Yuzhu said and started rolling up his sleeves.

"No rush, sit down and talk slowly." Wen Wuyan stopped him.

On the other side, Gu Qingqing looked at the two chubby children and squatted down to tease them.

In the original owner's memory, they were just the daughter-in-law of a family outside the village who gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

Gu Qingqing called them over and asked with a happy smile, "What are your names? How old are you?"

"I'm the older sister. My name is Xiaoyang and I'm three years old." said the little girl with two pigtails.

But the boy, who was about the same age as her, said, "She is my sister. Her name is Xiaoyang. She is three years old."

"Hahaha, what about you, what's your name?" Gu Qingqing asked with a laugh.

"My name is..."

"Brother, you are stupid, your name is Xiaoguang!"

"My name is Xiaoguang!" The boy finally said his name smoothly after listening to his sister.

The moment Gu Qingqing heard this name, she was suddenly distracted, because one of her senior students who shared the same tutor was also named Xiaoguang, and his surname was also Niu!

Gu Qingqing suddenly acted like a thief and called out "Senior Brother" to the little boy!

Niu Xiaoguang just understood and looked at Gu Qingqing in a daze.

Gu Qingqing realized it belatedly and felt ashamed. She suddenly thought that she could travel through time. What if her senior brother also traveled through time because of the same name and surname?

I thought I met someone I knew!

It turned out not to be.
