IWAFTIAT Chapter 13: Difficulties

Zhou Yu quickly stood up and walked over, his voice full of anxiety, fearing that something might happen to his brother, “Where do you feel uncomfortable?”

Brother Zhou’s face flushed red, “Brother, I’m fine.”

Yang Xi reacted and tugged at Zhou Yu’s sleeve, “Brother, do you want to go to the bathroom?”

Zhou Xiaodi’s face turned even redder, and his tone was very embarrassed, “Yeah.”

Zhou Yu slapped his brother on the back angrily. The boy scared him and said, “If you want to go, go now.”

Zhou Xiaodi widened his eyes in disbelief, somewhat doubting that he had heard it wrongly. Anywhere?

Zhou Yu coughed, “The Wu family has built a toilet.”

Little Brother Zhou still held his stomach and did not move. Yang Xi realized that going to the toilet in ancient times was quite troublesome. The rich and powerful had money and handkerchiefs, while the common people had a variety of things to use.

Fortunately, there was already toilet paper, which, although very rough, was extremely easy to sell. The Zhou family had been using this kind of toilet paper.

However, they were fleeing, and the first thing they needed was money, so who would think of bringing toilet paper?

Yang Xi, “.”

Thinking of this, her stomach felt a little uncomfortable, and she wanted to go to the toilet!

Zhou Yu reacted and fell silent strangely. After a while, he spoke, “How about we just make do with it?”

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the tree branches, the meaning was self-evident.

Zhou Xiaomei stretched out her hand at this time, “I, I brought some toilet paper.”

Coincidentally, she felt stomach discomfort in the morning, and realizing the importance of toilet paper, she brought some with her.

Zhou Xiaodi wanted to cry, “Sister, you are the best.”

Yang Xi also breathed a sigh of relief, “My little sister is very considerate.”

Then, Brother Zhou untied the hidden silver and money and quickly went out with the straw paper.

Yang Xi counted the silver and money that little brother Zhou had brought with him. This kid liked saving silver since he was young. He brought out all the silver and money he could. It was estimated that the total amount of gold and silver was more than thirty taels, and the big items were jade pendants and so on.

Zhou Xiaomei also took out the silver and money she had hidden. It wasn’t much, and the money she had hidden consisted of bracelets and other items.

Yang Xi confiscated it, thinking that a cunning rabbit had three burrows, and it would be safer if the silver and money were hidden separately.

The medicine was ready after a while. Ye Shi drank the medicine and had a snack. As she had no appetite, she went to bed first. When the rice porridge was ready, Zhou Xiaodi and Zhou Xiaomei also went to bed.

Only Yang Xi and his wife were drinking porridge. Zhou Yu said, “You go to sleep first. I’ll keep watch tonight.”

Yang Xi is pregnant and has exceeded her limit today. “Okay, call me in an hour.”

Zhou Yu glanced at his sleeping brother and said, “No need, I’ll call my little brother.”

The sound that responded to Zhou Yu was Yang Xi’s breathing. She was so tired that she fell asleep leaning on Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu covered his wife with the thin cotton coat he had taken off, and carefully let her rest her head on his legs. There were two wooden beds in the shed. His mother and son were lying on the large bed opposite, while his younger brother and sister were sitting there with some quilts draped over them and fell asleep. The couple occupied the small bed.

In the quiet night, Zhou Yu’s spirit was still tense. He had to be responsible for the safety of his family, and this was not a place to stay for long.

At night, Yang Xi woke up. She was forcing herself to stay awake because she had something on her mind. She saw her younger brother was swaying with sleepiness, so she hurriedly whispered, “You go to sleep. I’ll watch over you.”

Brother Zhou shook his head, “Sister-in-law, I’m fine.”

In his heart, his sister-in-law was not just a sister-in-law, but also a sister who grew up with him.

Yang Xi didn’t know what time it was. “I’m awake. Go to sleep.”

Finally, Brother Zhou couldn’t hold on any longer and fell asleep in a daze.

Yang Xi touched Zhou Yu’s face in the light of the fire. It was really magical. Their appearance had not changed after reincarnation into the modern era. She looked at her sleeping son again and couldn’t help but sigh. The future would be full of difficulties.

In the morning, Yang Xi woke up and saw her younger sister staring at the door nervously. She didn’t see Zhou Yu and Zhou Xiaodi, so she knew they had gone to bury their father-in-law.
