Xu Clan twisted her slender waist, "I'm going to sleep for a while, you wash the bowls. If there's nothing else, go and pull out the weeds in the vegetable garden, and plant some other vegetables."
"Okay, I'll come back and do it after I pick up some firewood."
Tan Zhengyuan immediately agreed.
Widow Xu cursed silently, calling him useless, but outwardly she remained composed as she returned to her room.
Tan Zhengyuan washed the bowls, then leaned against the door to listen for a while. With no sound from outside, he sneaked out.
Ah, how had he fallen to the point where he was ashamed to show his face?
After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered Hu's Clan and the two children; it seemed like a long time since he had been back.
He had taken all the silver coins from home; he had no idea how the three of them were managing.
Tan Zhengyuan hesitated for a moment, but still turned back.
No matter what, that girl was his own flesh and blood.
