Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 596 Suspicion
They did not go back to the village that night, but rested overnight in the backyard of the shop.

After all, Li Xin is pregnant, and she spent a lot of effort today.Guan Wen was also busy and helpful in washing up.

After getting into bed, Guan Wen held Li Xin in his arms, and Li Xin leaned against his neck and sighed comfortably.

Even though she is a pregnant woman, her body temperature is higher than usual, but it is still not as hot as Guan Wen's chest. She can keep warm by leaning on Guan Wen's arms, which is undoubtedly a natural stove in winter.

Guan Wen hugged her even tighter, and heard her explain in detail the process of meeting Mrs. Shen and Fourth Master Shen in the Shen Mansion.

After finishing speaking, Li Xin said in a low voice: "I think she made it very clear..."

Guan Wen's face was uncertain, and he sighed after a long while: "It's a blessing, not a disaster, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided."

Li Xin wanted to see his expression, but the light was dim, and Guan Wen's face was in the backlight, so he couldn't see clearly.

Stretching out his hand to caress Guan Wen's arm, Li Xin said in a low voice, "She has a lot of love. Once Guan Zhicheng appears and she notices it, I'm afraid she won't be kind."

"...This should have been foreseen by him early on." Guan Wen pursed his lips slightly, and closed his eyes gently: "Whatever the cause is, what the fruit is, what he does, he has to bear the consequences of doing it .”

Guan Wen and Li Xin didn't know the specific circumstances of Master An's death, so they could only guess based on what they knew.

The conclusions drawn are all directed at Guan Zhicheng.

Li Xin hugged Guan Wen even tighter, thinking in his heart, what did he mean by saying this, did he also set his mind on it and not care about it?
He fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up the next day, it was already bright.

It was late in the winter, and Li Xin knew it was getting late, so he sat up quickly, touched his stomach as a routine, and said good morning to the child in his stomach.

Guan Wen pushed the door open and came in, seeing Li Xin sitting up, he smiled and said, "Are you up?" He went to fetch water for Li Xin to wash up.

After packing up and having breakfast, Guan Wen prepared to go back to the village with Li Xin.

Li Xin was in good spirits, and slept soundly last night. When Guan Wen passed by the shop, the shop assistants greeted her warmly.

Presumably, Guan Wen's cruelty to Gu Haitang left a deep impression on the shop assistants.

Guan Wen helped Li Xin get into the carriage, and Li Xin looked at the cloths, medicinal materials and other things that Mrs. Shen had put on the back of the carriage, sighed, and said to Guan Wen: "I used to be on guard against Mrs. Shen, but maybe It's me who has a small belly, and Mrs. Shen hasn't paid attention to my little cleverness."

Guan Wen took a wooden box, opened it, looked at it, and said, "Mrs. Shen is very generous, and this favor is really not easy to repay."

Li Xin thought for a while but was relieved: "I also helped the Shen family earn a lot of money, and the Shen family's worth is not comparable to ours. So it's nothing. The next time the Shen family treats guests, I’ll just prepare a generous gift.”

Guan Wen smiled and nodded: "Everything is up to Madam."

"You're poor too..." Li Xin scolded him with a smile.

The carriage was moving slowly, and it was already past time for lunch when we returned to the mansion.Xiaobi got out of the carriage and helped Li Xin down, Guan Wen dismounted from the horse, and called a long-term worker to help tie the horse. He escorted Li Xin to the main room and urged Xiaobi to cook.

After eating two candied fruits, Li Xin didn't want to eat any more. Waiting for the steaming hot meal, he asked the long-time worker who helped tie the horse back in the spare time, "The pig farm, the second brother, have they all gone?"

"Yes, Second Brother Guan and Second Wife Guan have passed." The long-term worker replied, "After lunch, I was busy feeding the pigs."

Li Xin nodded, let the long-term worker go to work, sighed to Guan Wen, and said, "Raising pigs is really hard work. Those who feed pigs and sweep manure every day don't have a day off."

Guan Wen said with a smile: "Second brother and the others are doing very happily. Their pig farm is also very interesting. Now they can hire two people to take care of it. It must have a good development prospect."

Li Xin thinks about it. Everyone has their own way of life. The farmer is used to being busy, and he is not used to it when he is lazy. If he can't sit still, he must work, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable.

It's just that Xing'er has been idle for a year, and now she is busy raising pigs, but she is still full of energy.

Li Xin smiled, this is also for her own home.

Xiao Bi brought food, Li Xin and Guan Wen ate, Li Xin took a nap, but had a dream.

I can't remember what I dreamed in the dream. After waking up, I was dazed for a while, and suddenly called out: "Awen."

Guan Wen happened to enter the room at this time, intending to wake Li Xin up, when he heard Li Xin tell him to hurry in, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Xin stretched out his hand towards him, and only when Guan Wen approached did he grab him and let him sit on the bed.

"It suddenly occurred to me..." Li Xin's expression was a little uncertain: "Could it be your sixth brother who appeared?"

Guan Wen was taken aback, and Li Xin continued to analyze: "I just had a flash of thought just now, and suddenly felt that it was really strange that Mrs. Shen Si asked me to warn me about this. If your sixth brother didn't come back, Isn’t her warning superfluous? She said that there is a grievance and a debtor, and she made it clear that she wanted to trouble your sixth brother. If your sixth brother is not here, she can just go find someone herself. Why bother us?”

Guan Wen frowned: "Go on."

"I tested her. She probably didn't know anything about the opening of the ancestral hall in the village to drive your father and sixth brother out. In other words, she always thought that the Guan family still had contact with them. She clearly passed I warned the Guan family, and the meaning is very clear, just don't let us intervene to help your sixth brother. If your sixth brother doesn't come back, she doesn't need to tell me this; but if your sixth brother comes back, then she will say this The remarks……"

Guan Wen stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, and suddenly said very quickly: "I'll let someone go and find out."

As he said that, he was about to rush out of the house.

Li Xin hurriedly shouted: "Awen, come back!"

Guan Wen stood still, sat down next to her again, and comforted her: "It's okay, I won't go to town, I'll ask someone to deliver a letter for me, and I'll be back to accompany you in a while."

"What else do you want to do with me? I'm already up." Li Xin sighed, put on the outer jacket and got up, wrapped it like a ball, and let Guan Wen help her up.

"I'm just guessing, maybe it's because Mrs. Shen Si doesn't have enough here?" Li Xin nodded her head: "Maybe she was pregnant with a child, and then she felt that she had something to rely on, so she acted a little recklessly. ?”

Guan Wen frowned even deeper: "No matter what, it's always good to find someone to inquire about it."

"Well, we have to find out."

Li Xin and Guan Wen went down to the living room on the first floor. Li Xin sat on the sofa, watched Guan Wen light up the fireplace, and stretched out his hand to warm the fire.

"...But Ah Wen, what if your sixth brother really appeared again?" Li Xin asked softly suddenly: "If he comes to seek your protection...what will you do?"

Guan Wen was taken aback for a moment, and then there was a long silence.

For Li Xin, Guan Zhicheng is actually just a stranger, without him and Guan Ming, she feels that life is very interesting.She didn't dare to imagine that if these two people came back, what kind of uproar would be caused when she resumed her peaceful life.

She really couldn't treat this father-in-law and uncle with a normal heart.

Fortunately, these two people were expelled, even if they came back, it would be shameless.But Guan Ming himself is not a shameless person, and Guan Zhicheng... is hard to say.

Although the family situation is better now, Guan Ming ran away with so much money back then, and left the mess to Guan Wen and Li Xin to clean up.It is impossible for Li Xin to forget the disaster that the two father and son Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng brought to them.

How excited Guan Wen was at that time, how much he hated the father and son!

It can be seen that time is indeed a good medicine for all wounds—isn’t Guan Wen also calmly considering the question he asked?
Li Xin stared at him for a while, sighed, and took the tongs to poke the charcoal fire in the fireplace.

Guan Wen suddenly said, "I won't help him."

Li Xin was startled, and immediately looked at Guan Wen.

Guan Wen didn't set his eyes on Li Xin, but looked at the jumping flames, and the shadow of the flames was reflected in his pupils.

"What he did at the beginning, he should bear what he did. I don't care whether he made the past sins or not. Since he is no longer a member of my family, I naturally won't look at him more. Unless it is a certain day He came to me begging, and out of sympathy, I gave him a bowl of porridge. I can't help him with the rest."

Guan Wen moved slowly and sat next to Li Xin, stretched out his hand to hold Li Xin's Weiliang hand, and covered her for a while, feeling her palm was slightly warm, before whispering: "I have more important family members to protect. , who even disdains to be family with me, why should I protect him?"

Li Xin's eyes were a little sour, and his nose was slightly blocked. He sniffled and said, "It's been cold recently, and my nose is not usually big."

"Drink more hot water." Guan Wen smiled and hugged her shoulders, and asked softly after a long time: "Xin'er, if I really...wouldn't save me...would you think I'm too, too heartless? gone?"

Li Xin shook his head: "Back when they did this, why didn't they drive you to a dead end? You know, those thugs from the gambling shop came to ask us for money. Then the family will be ruined. When they acted like this, how did they ever think about us."

Guan Wen nodded slightly, and suddenly kissed her on the forehead.

"...Ah Wen?" Li Xin looked up at him.

A smile spread across Guan Wen's face: "It's okay, I just thought, if I hadn't married you, I'm afraid my life would have been given to me long ago."

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Xin hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, and glared at him: "You can't hold back your words, the Chinese New Year has not passed yet."

Guan Wen smiled noncommittally, and stretched out his hand to pat her: "I'll find someone to send a letter to the town first, so that people can find out. Don't worry."
