Transmigrated into a slave? I raised a frontier war god while pioneering new lands.

The bed frame and legs are fine, but the bed frame is covered with thatch and yellow mud.

Shen Zhi rushed over immediately, picked up a shovel, and began to deal with the debris on it.

Seeing this, Xu Qinghe also went up and helped clean up the debris.

Soon the clutter next to the wooden bed was cleared away, and Shen Zhi carefully inspected the bed board.

Apart from minor scratches, there were no other obvious damages on the wooden bed.

"Qinghe, can you help me lift this?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe immediately stood at the foot of the bed and laboriously helped Shen Zhi lift the wooden bed out.

Their wooden bed is made of solid wood, and it is two meters long and one and a half meters wide.

If Shen Zhi hadn't borne most of the weight, Xu Qinghe wouldn't have been able to lift it at all.

Even so, Xu Qinghe was exhausted and stood to the side panting heavily.

Seeing Xu Qinghe like this, Shen Zhi frowned immediately. "Are you very tired?"

Xu Qinghe nodded without hesitation.

Just when Xu Qinghe thought Shen Zhi would feel sorry for her and comfort her, Shen Zhi suddenly said, "It seems that the training you did recently was not very effective. You can't even lift this little bit."

Xu Qinghe: ?

"What are you talking about?"

"I told you your arm strength is insufficient, you're too weak."

Xu Qinghe...

"Do you want to listen to what you're saying? I'm your wife, not your apprentice."

"It's precisely because you're my wife, not my apprentice, that I'm so strict with you."

Xu Qinghe...

Speechless, truly speechless.

Just as Xu Qinghe was getting so angry she was practically fuming, Shen Zhi added fuel to the fire, saying, "You should chop that beam in a bit and work up your arm strength."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe could no longer hold back. She ran up to Shen Zhi, glared at him angrily, and said, "Shen Zhi, I'm your wife, not a farmhand!"

"I won't do it!"

Shen Zhi looked at Xu Qinghe's head, which was very close, and subconsciously pushed her away. "I know."

That's why I'm so strict with you.

"You've mastered it. The skill is yours. Next time you encounter danger, you won't need me; you can handle it yourself."

Xu Qinghe calmed down a bit and said defiantly, "Besides your mother and sister-in-law, what danger could I possibly be in here?"

Looking at Xu Qinghe's aggrieved expression, Shen Zhi sighed helplessly. In his eyes, his mother and sister-in-law were not dangerous at all.

The real danger lies with the group of people in the capital; they are the ones who kill without blinking an eye.

They would even slaughter entire families of loyal officials for their own benefit, sparing not even newborn children.

Now that Qinghe is married to him, she naturally shares his risks as well.

As long as Chengyue and Chengchuan haven't grown up, they will have to endure danger every day.

However, he didn't want to tell Xu Qinghe about the children's parentage, firstly because he was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it, and secondly because he was afraid she would become overly anxious.

Some things he can bear himself; there's no need for his family to worry about him.

But his silence doesn't mean he has no plan. His plan is to ensure that Xu Qinghe and the two children have the ability to protect themselves, no matter what means he uses.

Even if they are gone one day, no one will dare to bully them.

Shen Zhi said in a somewhat heavy tone, "The dangers are not limited to these; there are many more."

Xu Qinghe could tell from his expression that he had something he didn't want to tell her.

She wasn't stupid. As a modern woman who had read so many novels, she could tell at a glance that he was hiding something from her.

Add to that Shen Zhi's attitude towards the two children, and his fighting skills, and she could guess most of it.

With a soft sigh, she thought, "If I don't want to talk about it, then I won't!" She was happy to have some peace and quiet.

"Okay, okay, I'll go chop it up right now, alright?"

Seeing her attitude, Shen Zhi immediately grabbed her arm and said with a worried look, "I'm really doing this for your own good."

Xu Qinghe said helplessly, "I know."

"I'm not stupid."

"Since you asked me to chop wood, then you can deal with it yourself. Don't pour water on it; wipe it off little by little with a damp cloth."

They only have this one bed now, and they slept on a chair last night. All four family members were uncomfortable.

Now that the bed has been moved out, we will naturally have to sleep on it at night, but if we pour water on it, the bed frame will get wet, and there will be a damp feeling when we sleep on it.

However, if you wipe it little by little with a damp cloth, you are only wiping the surface layer, and it will dry in the wind, so there will be no dampness when you go to sleep.

Having offended Xu Qinghe, Shen Zhigang naturally dared not have any objections and agreed without thinking.

Then he took the two children and started cleaning the wooden bed.

Children of this age are interested in everything, and they want to do almost everything adults do.

Instead of complaining about him causing trouble and chasing them away, it's better to give them some work to do and let them learn how to do it.

While Xu Qinghe was struggling to chop firewood, Shen Zhi didn't forget to talk to her.

"I've already talked to Dad about building the house. He'll come over tomorrow to help. You can leave the purchasing and finding people to him."

"If he needs money, he'll ask you for it."

Xu Qinghe had already planned to ask Old Man Shen to keep an eye on things, so she didn't hesitate when he said that, "Sure!"

"Did you tell Dad what kind I wanted?"

Shen Zhi: "I did tell them, but Dad suggested that we build the kitchen in mud and change the courtyard wall to a stone wall."

"This way, we can save some money and speed things up too."

Xu Qinghe thought about it and agreed, "Okay! I have no objection."

Is your father coming tomorrow?

Shen Zhi: "Yeah, Dad's easier to talk to than Mom. You can just tell him whatever you need to say."

"If we can't communicate well, I'll take over. After all, we're building the house, so we'll definitely follow your preferences."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe's slight dissatisfaction vanished instantly.

Aside from being a bit too strict with himself when it came to training, this man was pretty good in every other way.

Since that's the case, she'll reluctantly forgive him!

Just as Xu Qinghe was comforting herself, Shen Zhi had already brought out the wooden bed with the two children.

After cleaning up, one person was dragged to a corner. It was an open space, so it was easy to drag them there.

After putting it in the corner, Shen Zhi got busy again. In his mind, if he did more work at home, Xu Qinghe would have to do less work tomorrow.

Xu Qinghe felt a pang of heartache as she watched Shen Zhi's busy figure.

Feeling that it was about time, I went to get the bedding and spread it on the bed.

While laying out the sheets, he called out to Shen Zhi, "Shen Zhi, stop working and go wash up. It's time for bed."

Upon hearing this, the two children, who were already incredibly sleepy, immediately got up and ran over.

She clung to Xu Qinghe's arm and began to whine, "Auntie, I'm so sleepy! I want to sleep."

As Xu Qinghe laid out the mattress, she calmly said, "Okay, you can sleep after I'm done."
