Natural disasters are not terrible, but the man-made disasters caused by natural disasters are terrible.

When Wan Shufang thought of the tragedies and despair caused by man-made disasters, her eyes were full of worry.

After a long time, she comforted herself with a mixture of joy and sorrow: "Maybe things are not that bad. I have to think in a good direction."

With a gentle breath, Wan Shufang suppressed her inner anxiety and went home to wait for Chen Changli's return.

It was not until noon that Chen Changli returned in a hurry, covered with travel dust.

Wan Shufang walked up to him and looked him up and down. Seeing that his lips were chapped and white, she quickly poured him a glass of water. "Why did you come back just now? Could it be that you followed the bandits to their village?" .”

Chen Changli couldn't wait to take the bowl. He took a sip to moisten his throat and drank it all. "I did follow them for a while, but most of my time was spent on convincing the county magistrate to suppress the bandits." Something happened.”

Hearing this, Wan Shufang said nervously and eagerly: "You actually went to the county magistrate directly. You are too brave!"

Chen Changli spoke calmly: "Those bandits even stole the villagers' food, which shows that their courage is not ordinary. If the county magistrate had not been notified to make preparations in advance, when the bandits became more and more courageous, It is very likely that the villagers will have no way to survive."

Wan Shufang heard this and thought that what he said made sense. She couldn't help but calm down and said: "How is the county magistrate going to surrender the bandit?"

"Let me lead you directly to the bandit's den, and then kill them all." Chen Changli's expression was slightly restrained, but his eyes were looking at Wan Shufang warmly, and there was a trace of deep doubt in his dark pupils, as if he was worried about something.

Wan Shufang looked into his deep eyes and said seriously: "Are you sure you can return home safely?"

"Since I chose to lead the way in person, it means that I can come back safely." Chen Changli's eyebrows were filled with confidence.

Wan Shufang felt relieved when she heard this, as long as she was sure of returning home safely, otherwise she would have tried to find a way to prevent Chen Changli from taking risks.

"Are you worried about me?" Chen Changli said, putting the bowl on the table, half-stepping into Wan Shufang, only half a fist away from her, and the warm breath he spoke sprayed on Wan Shufang's cheek in an instant superior.

Wan Shufang never thought that he would suddenly distance herself from her. She coughed slightly and looked away. She wanted to say something but felt embarrassed, so she could only say awkwardly: "You are the father of my children. Can I not worry?" You?"

Hearing her admitting her worries about him, Chen Changli's heart was beating so fast that he could no longer calm down.

At this moment, the air in the room seemed to be filled with a hint of ambiguity, making the atmosphere between Chen Changli and Wan Shufang charming and hot.

In the end, Wan Shufang couldn't stand the extremely ambiguous atmosphere and said hurriedly: "Since you and the county magistrate have already discussed how to surrender the bandits, you should go and tell Widow Xu and others about this matter now. They are also very concerned about this matter. You came to me early this morning to ask about the situation."

"I'm going to find them now." After Chen Changli said that, he went to find someone.

Wan Shufang waited until he was no longer in the room, took a deep breath, and then touched her face with her hand.

Feeling the unignorable warmth on her face, Wan Shufang felt that there was a hidden thought stirring in her heart that made her very excited. The most amazing thing was that she didn't resent this feeling at all.

"Chen Changli." Whispering these three words in a low voice, a smile gradually appeared in Wan Shufang's eyes.

At this time, Wang Xiaohui's anxious voice came in: "Mom, where is my boss? It's almost lunch time, why hasn't he come back yet?"

"I asked the second child to go to town." Wan Shufang walked out of the room, looked around Wang Xiaohui, and then landed on Bai Lian, who looked nervous, and asked doubtfully, "Second daughter-in-law, what are you doing standing there?"

Bai Lian shook her hand and almost dropped the handkerchief on the ground. Then she breathed out softly and said, "Mom, there is something I want to tell you alone."

"Third brother and sister, we are a family. If you have any difficulties, you can directly tell us in front of everyone. We, as a family, will help you find a solution and we will definitely solve it for you."

What Wang Xiaohui dislikes the most is the cowardly Wu Qiaoyue, but what she dislikes the most is Bai Lian who puts on a show of wealth every day.

Now after hearing Bai Lian's words and seeing her look a little strange, Wang Xiaohui deliberately emphasized the words "family" in a sinister tone to irritate her.

"If there is nothing we can do, my third brother is a scholar. Maybe he can find a good way to help you from the book."

Bai Lian's face changed slightly, and her voice rose unconsciously: "Second sister-in-law, my husband is a scholar who is about to take the imperial examination. Even if you want to defend your second brother, you can't ridicule him like this!"

Wang Xiaohui almost fell back in anger: "How could I be sarcastic about him? I clearly mean well."

Bai Lian didn't believe that she had good intentions.

You must know that Wan Shufang asked all the boys in the family to study. Chen Ping and Chen Tao couldn't persist without the talent for reading. Only Chen Hai liked reading and had the talent.

At this point, the two brothers Chen Ping withdrew from school and worked in the fields, and Chen Hai became the scholar in the family who had the hope of taking the scientific examination.

Wang Xiaohui also said harshly that Chen Hai would only spend family money and would not make money for the family. He might even bring down the entire Chen family because of the scientific examination.

After Bai Lian married Chen Hai, she heard her sarcastic words and naturally disliked her in every possible way.

"Second sister-in-law, don't think that you are the only one who knows what you are thinking. Mom is here. Do you dare to swear that you have not had any bad thoughts about my husband's study?"

Wang Xiaohui glanced at Wan Shufang.

Just in time to meet her gaze, she shrank her neck in fright and said hesitantly: "Mom, don't listen to the nonsense of the third brother and sister. I wish that the third brother would get the top prize and let me be the head of the family with a brother who is an official. How dare I What bad intentions do you have?"

"Okay, is it just a trivial matter that warrants such a fuss?" Wan Shufang noticed that Bai Lian seemed to have something very important to say to her. Wang Xiaohui was wasting time by messing around here, so she immediately glared at her and told Bai Lian He followed him into the room and said, "Third wife, come with me."

Sitting down in the room, Wan Shufang noticed that Bai Lian seemed to be sitting upright, but in fact she was a little absent-minded and perfunctory.

Narrowing her eyes slightly, Wan Shufang's mind was spinning with thoughts, but she asked slowly on her face: "Don't you have something to tell me? Why did you stop talking when we were alone?"

Bai Lian lowered her head and looked a little aggrieved: "It's my daughter-in-law's fault. I beg my mother to forgive me."

There is something wrong with this reaction!

Wan Shufang immediately cheered up: "Third daughter-in-law, is it that the third daughter is embarrassed to talk to me when she encounters some problem? Please tell me. If I can't solve it, I can ask his father to help."
