Gu Chunzhu looked at her barrel of prawns wanting to catch more.

She saw Xiaocheng running towards her. His face flushed, panting. He seemed very excited.

"Father is back." He stood next to Gu Chunzhu and looked at her, not daring to get close. He clasped his hands in front of him and squeezed hard.

Su Wangqin is back?

Gu Chunzhu's apricot eyes lit up, she stopped fishing and cleaned up. She decided to go home with Xiaocheng.

She held the bucket of shrimp in her left hand, Xiaocheng, and the fishing rod in her right hand.

XiaoCheng struggled for a while, but Gu Chunzhu tightly held him.

The two returned home holding hands. Su Wangqin was sitting on a wooden chair in the yard, holding a small person in his arms. The small person's body shivered and choked with grievances.

"An An why are you crying?"

She released XiaoCheng and put down the bucket to see An An. An An’s eyes were red, she pointed at the vegetable garden and choked.

It turned out to be this matter.

Gu Chunzhu let out a sigh of relief, she thought the kid was being bullied. Unexpectedly, the first thing the child said when Su Wangqin came back was the sad story of the destruction of the vegetable garden.

"I allowed you to be wronged."

Su Wangqin's black eyes looked at Gu Chunzhu with care, which made her feel better. His hand was still gently patting on An An's back, coaxing his sad little daughter.

Gu Chunzhu felt a bit sour in her heart.

She bit her tongue to make herself focus, she said, "It's nothing. But I feel really wronged today. I went fishing for shrimps and was framed by my second sister-in-law with Dao Yinzi.

I couldn't take it. Dao Yinzi also gave her a slap. You are often away from home, I don’t care if there are rumors outside, as long as you don’t misunderstand me."

The clear, radiant eyes made Su Wangqin's heartbeat slow down.

He stared at Gu Chunzhu with wide-open eyes.

Gu Chunzhu stared at Su Wangqin but he remained quiet. She "tsk" in her heart. Isn't he also an ancient chauvinist? Would he really misunderstand her and that Dao Yinzi? She chose to tell Su Wangqin first to avoid Qui Shi's problem.

"I believe in you." Su Wangqin's voice sounded low and nice, revealing his trust in her.

After he finished speaking, he stood up, still holding An An.

He naturally took Gu Chunzhu's hand and there was joy in his voice.

"I'll take you to the prey I caught in the mountains this time."

Xiaocheng also consciously followed behind Su Wangqin.

Although Gu Chunzhu was dragged by him, she felt a special feeling in her heart from the warm calloused palm holding her.

There was a bloody golden pheasant and a badger beside the water tank in the kitchen, there was also a large group of hairy things beside it.

Su Wangqin put down An An.

He reached into the tank and picked up a large group of furry things.

It was a living rabbit, its hind legs still pedaling vigorously.

"Bunny! It's a Bunny."

An An cried with joy.

"Is it a litter of rabbits?"

Gu Chunzhu could not see clearly. The gray and white coat should be wild rabbits on the mountain. There was a litter.

"Well, I noticed it the last time I went into the mountains but this time I went to the rabbit hole. This badger also fell into the trap. It was a surprise. I hunted this golden pheasant for two days. The weather was cold and there weren't many preys. I just came back afterward." Su Wangqin said.

The way his eyebrows moved can tell he is in a good mood. With these preys, they should be able to pass this winter safely.

"Oh, let's give mother the bucket of brown rice first!" He said suddenly.

Gu Chunzhu's face changed and became cold from the excited state earlier. She was thinking about what to eat and drink for the family while Su Wangqin was actively thinking about his mother.

Seeing her reaction, Su Wangqin frowned, "If we don't send it to her mother, she'll look for us. It's not good for her to see these preys"

If old Mrs. Su saw the prey, a lot would be taken away. Gu Chunzhu still remembered the last time she deliberately made her shut her trap. Listening to his explanation, even if Gu Chunzu was quite angry she had to agree: "Then do it."

When Su Wangqing arrived, he thought about this family first.

It was already a great relief.

"Let's go together." Su Wangqin said as he loaded a bucket of rice from the rice tank. He asked Xiaocheng to look after An An at home, and then took Gu Chunzhu's hand and walked towards Su's house.

Along the way, they met many people who greeted Su Wangqin kindly. It seems that this man's interpersonal communication was really good.

After arriving at the Su's house, Gu Chunzhu stood at the door and looked at the house carefully.

Like most wealthy people in the village, it is a big house made of wood. There are many rooms inside and outside. The old man Su and the old lady Su lived with their second and third son's family but they separated them out with no field and no house. The eccentricity can be seen.

"Brother in law and sister-in-law, are here." The people in the room came out when they knocked on the door.

Su Fan's eyes swept over the bucket of brown rice held by Su Wangqin, with envy she said,

"How good it is to separate, brother and sister in law's life is good now."

Gu Chunzhu saw Su Fan's careful thought at a glance, she envies them that they were able to separate.

She only gave birth to two daughters who had no status in the Su family. She's also just treated as a horse but she dared not mention the matter of separating as she was afraid that she would be kicked out of the family.

"It's all rations saved from the children's mouth." Gu Chunzhu said lightly.

Su Fan did not speak anymore. The three of them walked into the hall together. Su Wangqin shouted, "Mother, I'm paying filial piety!"

"Ahh ..." Mrs. Su responded, but her grin suddenly disappeared.

Gu Chunzhu sniffed the air and smelled the flavor of the meat. She squeezed her nose in dissatisfaction. Could it be that Old Mrs. Su deliberately hid the meat before coming out?

"Eldest son, did you hit any prey when you came back from the mountains?" Mrs. Su hurriedly came out of the kitchen with her little feet. Her eyes shined as she tugged Su Wangqin by the sleeve.

Gu Chunzhu glared at Su Wangqin on the side and watched his husband and Old Mrs. Su.

Su Wangqin sweated, He looked around and put the rice dustpan over with his lips closed.

"Mother, let’s keep this first."

Must be hard to have blood sucking relatives 😂
