Transmigrated into a slave? I raised a frontier war god while pioneering new lands.
Friends start appearing in Chapter 37.
The woman quickly waved her hand, "No, we just finished washing."
Xu Qinghe: "Then let's go." After saying that, she led the two children and continued walking forward.
It took about 15 minutes to get there, stopping and starting along the way, because we were greeting them all the way, which slowed us down.
When she arrived, there were already many people washing clothes by the river. As soon as they saw Xu Qinghe coming, they waved to her warmly, "Second wife, come to our place, we have some free time."
Xu Qinghe looked at the people who greeted her; they were all her sisters-in-law who had come to her house to buy meat yesterday, but she wasn't very familiar with any of them.
Just then, Sister Lan suddenly spoke up, "Qinghe! Come here."
Yesterday, when Sister Lan and the others were helping out at her house, they kept calling her "Second Daughter-in-Law," which made Xu Qinghe feel embarrassed. So she tactfully suggested that they could call her "Qinghe."
Today, Sister Lan changed it back.
Xu Qinghe's eyes immediately lit up, and she said somewhat shyly to the few sisters-in-law she wasn't very familiar with, "Third sister-in-law, my eldest sister-in-law is calling me. I'll go over and say a few words to her."
They were all from the same village, and everyone knew that they were related to Sister Lan's family and had a good relationship, so no one insisted.
"Okay, go ahead! If it's not suitable over there, come back here."
Xu Qinghe: "Okay." After saying that, she quickly pulled the two children toward Aunt Lan.
As soon as she walked over, Sister Lan and Daqiang's wife made room for her.
Xu Qinghe naturally carried the basin between the two women. As soon as she put the basin down, Sister Lan eagerly asked her, "What did those other women say to you just now?"
Xu Qinghe asked in confusion, "Didn't they say anything?"
Daqiang's wife: "Didn't I ask you where you caught that wild boar yesterday?"
Xu Qinghe shook her head. "No."
Sister Lan said with certainty, "It must be because I called you early, and they didn't have time to ask."
Xu Qinghe said nonchalantly, "Go ahead and ask! There's nothing wrong with saying it."
Daqiang's wife frowned. "You don't know, since we came back from your house yesterday, quite a few people have come to my house asking Daqiang where you encountered the wild boar."
"They even encouraged Daqiang to go up the mountain to look for it, saying that if they caught it, they would share the meat with us."
As Xu Qinghe put clothes into the water, she chuckled, "We caught them on the mountain. Let them look for them if they want!"
Sister Lan sighed, "It's not that easy. Our ancestors have lived here for generations. How many people have ever caught a wild boar, let alone one that big?"
Daqiang's wife chimed in, "That's right. I heard about what happened yesterday from Daqiang. If it weren't for your Shen Zhi's strength and skill, it wouldn't have been so easy."
Xu Qinghe agreed, "It really isn't easy; that thing is too ferocious."
"Shen Zhi really went all out. Think about it, I and the two children were here. If he hadn't killed that wild boar, none of us three would have escaped."
Daqiang's wife said with lingering fear, "That's right."
"Our family is doing alright now, and I won't let my Daqiang take any risks."
Having experienced what happened to her husband, Sister Lan was even more protective of her children. After hearing this, she chimed in, "Although my family isn't well-off, I still won't let Ping An go."
Xu Qinghe: "Yes, try not to go if you can avoid it."
Just then, Daqiang's wife's gaze suddenly fell on the two children. "Oh my, these two kids! They're so well-behaved, they can even help you wash clothes."
While Xu Qinghe was talking to them and washing clothes, Shen Chengyue and Shen Chengchuan each grabbed a belt and started washing clothes in a similar manner.
Compared to the group of children running and jumping around them, the two of them seemed much more well-behaved.
Xu Qinghe turned her head and looked at the two children with a warm expression, explaining on their behalf, "Well, they just care about me and are worried that I'll get tired."
A hint of envy flashed in Daqiang's wife's eyes. "You two are so lucky. Unlike my kids, who are such troublemakers, they give me headaches every day."
Seeing that she was genuinely envious, Sister Lan smiled and said, "It's better for boys to be a little mischievous."
"Chengyue, Chuanchuan, Jianjian, and Kangkang are there too. Do you want to go play?"
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Chengyue shook his head without hesitation, "No."
At this time, Shen Chengyue is resistant to his friends; they only feel safe when they are with Xu Qinghe.
Xu Qinghe looked at the two children with heartache and tentatively asked, "I'm not leaving. I'll just stay here and do the laundry. You can keep seeing me."
"How about we take your little brother over to play for a while?"
Shen Chengyue remained unmoved. "No."
Sister Lan was close to their family, so she naturally knew about what had happened to Shen Chengyue and his brother. She sighed softly and comforted them, "Alright, if you don't want to go, then you don't have to."
"I'll have Jiankang come visit you guys when I'm free that day."
This time, Shen Chengyue readily agreed.
We chatted while doing laundry, and time flew by.
Xu Qinghe only had four pieces of clothing, which she washed around the same time as the others.
After washing up, the group called their children to head back. As soon as the children arrived, they surrounded Shen Chengyue and Shen Chengchuan.
Shen Chengchuan was young and had a short memory. Seeing that they were willing to play with him, he would run off to play.
Although Shen Chengyue was not very willing, he gradually got involved after seeing his younger brother go over.
The children ran and played as they entered the village.
Daqiang's family lived at the east end of the village. As soon as you entered the village, you arrived at his house. Daqiang's wife called to the two children and led them home.
But the two children had already had a great time playing with Shen Chengyue and the others, and neither of them wanted to go back.
There was nothing Daqiang's wife could do but go home by herself. Then it was Lan's turn. Lan's two children were obedient and would come running at a moment's notice.
But the children looked reluctant to leave, and Aunt Lan couldn't bear to part with them, so she could only let them play with Shen Chengchuan a little longer before going back.
And so, Xu Qinghe led the six boys home in a grand procession.
They met Sister-in-law Shen halfway there. It turned out that Sister-in-law Shen had also heard about the villagers' plans and was eager to go back to her parents' home to tell them to go up the mountain to catch wild boars as well.
As soon as she saw Xu Qinghe, Sister-in-law Shen started to act all displeased.
"Wow! You've really gotten rich! You can even support six boys now?"
"What a pity! They look so good, but none of them are their own children, especially those two bastards, right?" She said, giving Shen Chengyue a fierce look.
Startled, Shen Chengyue instinctively shrank closer to Xu Qinghe.
Seeing this, Xu Qinghe immediately pulled Shen Chengyue to her side and retorted, "Yeah! Getting two big sons for free, how could it not be great?"
"Unlike some people, who painstakingly give birth one by one, and what happens in the end?"
"He only has one eldest son, right?"
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Shen immediately became furious. If there was anything she was most dissatisfied with in her life, it was that she had never conceived a son.
