The young couple from the farm fights back

Chapter 129 Separation Again

Xiao Chao wiped the tears from the child's face: "Don't forget your grandfather's teachings. Men don't shed tears easily."

Que Ge'er nodded heavily, suppressing the bitter sobs in his heart: "Que Ge'er will remember it."

Xiao Chao looked up at the boys standing opposite him. They were all Lao Zhou's sons, and all of them were good-looking. It was no wonder, Lao Zhou was just okay in appearance, and his sister-in-law was quite good-looking.

No wonder Lao Zhou is willing to fight for his wife and children. If he had such a beautiful wife at home, he would not refuse even if his wife asked for rib soup.

"Haha, kid, come here and let Uncle Xiao take a good look."

Upon hearing this, Yiheng and Yijing looked at each other and did not move.

An Ge'er had already run forward, and suddenly said: "Uncle Xiao, bad guy~"

puff~

A burst of laughter came from the attic above.

Xiao Chao was repeatedly called a bad guy by Anger, and he felt depressed. How did he look like a bad guy?

Looking up, he saw Old Zhou carrying the child and his sister-in-law down. He quickly stood up and stepped forward to bow. "Sister-in-law, our Xiao family is very grateful for your kindness in saving us. We hope you will continue to take in Que'er in the future. When our Xiao family's uprising army returns victorious, we will definitely repay your kindness."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Second Master Xiao, you are very kind. I didn't know that Que'er was the Prime Minister's grandson before, and our family would keep him. Now that we know, there is no reason to refuse. My head of the family explained to me the Prime Minister's righteousness. It is an honor for my Jiang family to be able to contribute a little to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Hey, sister-in-law, you are too kind." Xiao Chao was grateful.

Zhou Chunfeng added coldly, "You can rest assured to leave the child here. We can talk about the future later."

"Ah, yes!" Xiao Chao responded, "Old Zhou is right."

Jiang Li saw that Xiao Chao was an honest and simple man, so she felt relieved that Zhou Chunfeng was on good terms with him.

When it comes to playing tricks, she has never seen anyone who can outsmart Zhou Chunfeng. She hopes everything goes well for them in the army.

She handed the bottles of medicine in her hand to Xiao Chao: "I made some extra pills when I was preparing some for the head of the household. They're not valuable, but I thought Second Master Xiao would keep them with him. They might be useful in the future."

Xiao Chao took it without any hesitation. Old Madam Zhou's medicines were all good medicines, not worthless stuff at all.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. This is a great thing. That day, Old Zhou was shot with arrows and the military doctors were helpless. It was all thanks to—"

"Cough cough!" Zhou Chunfeng cleared his throat with a dark face.

Xiao Chao's voice froze, knowing he had said the wrong thing. He touched his nose awkwardly and put a few bottles of medicine into his arms: "Hehe~, I appreciate my sister-in-law's kindness."

Seeing this, Jiang Li glanced at the man next to her.

The chest wound was so serious that his condition must have been critical. Fortunately, he survived.

Jiang Li reached out and took her daughter from Zhou Chunfeng's arms. Seeing Ming Ye enter the barn, she knew that people had already arrived from the island, so she said, "Oh, right, we've sent some people over to you."

"People?" Xiao Chao blinked in confusion.

Zhou Chunfeng raised his eyebrows inexplicably and said to her, "Do you still remember what I said in my letter last time?"

Zhou Chunfeng was stunned and didn't say anything. His daughter-in-law mentioned many things in the letter, but he didn't know which one she was referring to.

"Those guards have good intentions, but their addictions are hard to break. If they stay on the island, they'll inevitably harm their people in the future. So I thought, let them join you in the army. That way, you'll have some useful men around you."

Zhou Chunfeng understood: "Okay, it's a good opportunity to bring them to the army for training."

If those people became addicted to drugs, perhaps they could contribute more on the battlefield.

Xiao Chao didn't know about the guards eating white flour, and was surprised: "Sister-in-law sent us some help? That's a good thing. I've heard that Changsheng Island is a place of outstanding people and has trained guards with strong martial arts skills."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I hope I won't cause trouble for Master Xiao."

"Hey, sister-in-law, you are wrong. The rebels should thank you for your great help." The dried fish that were carried off the boat earlier and the buckets of steamed white flour buns that were still steaming were all rare delicacies in the army.

Jiang Li handed her sister to Fang behind her and said, "You stay here and look after the child."

"Yes."

Jiang Li gestured to Zhou Chunfeng and Xiao Chao to follow her out. Before leaving, Xiao Chao looked back at his nephew reluctantly.

Seeing the child's eyes redden again, although he felt distressed, he gritted his teeth, turned around and strode out of the cabin.

At this time, there were nearly thirty guards headed by Mingfeng standing on the ferry. They all looked thin, but their spirits were much better than in the previous few days.

Ming Ye came to Ming Feng first, and the two brothers mostly said some words of farewell.

When Ming Feng saw Jiang Li bringing people, he knew that one of them would be the master that they brothers would follow in the future.

"I am Ming Yi, your subordinate, and I am honored to meet you, my master."

When Mingfeng learned that his name conflicted with his new master's, he deliberately removed the character "Feng" and changed it to "Mingyi", implying that he would be loyal to his new master from the very beginning.

Zhou Chunfeng nodded and said, "Get up."

"Yes, master."

Xiao Chao looked left and right, and felt that there was something wrong with these guards. Why were they all as thin as monkeys? Did they really have martial arts skills?

Finally, his gaze fell on Ming Ye.

Ming Ye certainly noticed Xiao Chao's covetous eyes towards him. If their master had not joined the rebel army, the guards of Changsheng Island would not have followed him.

Moreover, Mingfeng's martial arts skills are not inferior to his, and he is the most outstanding one among all the brothers on the island.

Jiang Li looked at the guards Ming Yi and said, "Don't worry, my wife and children at home are taken care of by the islanders."

"I thank you Madam Li and swear to follow you till death."

"Okay." Jiang Li felt relieved.

She had a selfish motive in deciding to have Ming Yi and the others join the rebellion. Firstly, it was to provide Zhou Chunfeng with useful people, and secondly, it would take time for these people to recover from drug addiction on the island. If their addiction relapsed and affected their tribe, it would be a disaster for her.

Zhou Chunfeng turned around and held Jiang Li's hand: "Wait for me to come back."

"Well, I'll wait for you."

Xiao Chao, who was confused, turned his head and saw Lao Zhou's disgusting look, and a feeling of jealousy rose in his heart.

Why didn’t he realize before that Lao Zhou was so clingy?

Forget it, it’s rare for the couple to see each other, so let them be affectionate with each other.

Jiang Li was also reluctant in her heart, but she knew when to let go: "Go, go back to the city early to prepare."

"Okay." Zhou Chunfeng said, then turned around to look at the children on the deck.

Xiao Chao also turned around to look at Que Ge'er twice, thinking, it's good that the good boy is still alive.

Watching Zhou Chunfeng and others leave in the distance, the dust raised in the sky weighed on Jiang Li's heart like a fog.

Jiang Li knew that after this separation, it would be a long time before she and Zhou Chunfeng would meet again.

It may take one year or five years, until the war ends!
