un by them soon.The old man didn't know if he was angry or afraid that Li Laoer wouldn't care, his words were harsh and unpleasant.Li Lao'er smiled and said calmly, "Go to work. I have everything unde...Tao Hongying shook her head and smiled softly, "Mother, just rest assured, Huini is very clever."

As expected, in a short while, Li Yong came out of the door.

He led the horse while saying to the old woman, "Auntie, Huiniang can't feed two children. I'll go to the nearby village to see if I can buy a dairy goat."

"I heard that children who drink goat's milk grow taller. Later, I'll have Funiu and Maoge drink a few more bowls every day."

"Go ahead," the old woman replied, "just remember our family name. Don't expect much of a discount, the main thing is that they don't try to cheat you with an old sheep."

Li Yong laughed and readily agreed, mounted his horse, and rode away.

Tao Hongying met the old woman's gaze and smiled, "Mother, I told you so, didn't I Hui'er is clever. That's why I want her to teach Funiu more than I wanted to hire Mrs. Cui."

The old woman sighed and nodded in agreement, "Jin Rou is a good girl, but her temper is too stubborn. She disdainful of using underhanded tactics and is too easy to be taken advantage of. Women, it's better to be like Hui Niang."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting when a carriage arrived at the door. To their surprise, Zhao YuRu jumped out of the carriage.

"Third Daughter-in-Law, how have you come back"

The old woman hurriedly took Tao Hongying out. Zhao Yuru, carrying her baggage, smiled and said, "Mother, there are carriages from the town to Xindu. I miss home, so I took a ride along the way. When I reached Kyoto, I hired a carriage back."

"How is business at the shop"

"Alright, then. Lao San and Jia Huan can handle things. At noon and in the evening, Jia Ren and Gou Sheng'er can also help out."

The three of them, the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and young girl, chatted as they walked toward the room. At this moment, Jia Yin heard the noise from next door. She wasn't afraid of her mother hitting her bottom anymore, so she ran back quickly and directly hugged Zhao Yu Ru's leg.

"Aunt Three, Aunt Three, Funiu misses you!"

Zhao Yuru's face blossomed with a smile as she hugged her little niece and kissed her repeatedly. She chuckled, "You've only been back for a few days, and you already miss your Aunt Three I bet you're hoping she brought back some good things!"

Funiu's face flushed, "No, no, I just miss Sanbo! When Sanbo comes back there will be delicious food!"

Zhao Yuru burst into laughter, "Isn't this the point In the end, I still want to eat delicious food!"

Having said that, she stopped teasing her niece and opened the package. She took out a box of pastries, "There's a new pastry shop in town these days, everyone says it's delicious. Your aunt bought you a box to try. If you like it, your aunt will buy you more in the future."

"Thank you, Aunt!"

Jia Yin opened it and saw that the several kinds of snacks were all novel and unique in shape. She quickly took out a few pieces, hugged the rest, and was about to run away.

The brothers are just about to get out of school. She sits at the door for a while, waiting for them to come back so they can eat together.

Zhao Yuru grabbed her niece's hand. "Wait a little longer."

She then took out two pairs of shoes, one big and one small, and smiled, "I've been idle these past few days, so I did some needlework. Mother and Fuku-chan, why don't you both try them on"

"There's so much work in the shop, you still remember to make shoes for us Be careful not to stay up late and strain your eyes."

The old woman grumbled, but still changed into the shoes, just as comfortable as always.

Jia Yin also wore new shoes and jumped up and down on the ground.

Compared to so many kinds of shoes in my past life, the thousand-layered sole sewn stitch by stitch is still the most comfortable!

"Thank you, Aunt San!" Funiu hugged Aunt San's leg and coquettishly smiled.

At this time, the boys were finished with school.

Jia Xilai and Jia An led Mao'er into the house. Seeing Zhao Yuru return, they were overjoyed.

This one is calling "Mama," that one is calling "Aunt" and "Mother-in-law," the house immediately became even more lively.

The old woman was getting a headache from the noise, so she quickly chased them to the west room to have some snacks.

Little Cat immediately grabbed the snack box, while Jia'an and Jiaxi held their sister's hands, and they all ran away merrily.

Tao Hongying asked a couple of questions and heard that Zhao Yuru would not return until tomorrow, so she hurried to the valley to get busy.

The old woman brought Zhao Yuru to see Huiniang. Zhao Yuru sewed two tiger-head caps for the child. Huiniang was delighted and thanked her repeatedly.

Zhao Yuru said, "You're my sister-in-law, no need to be so polite. I'm counting on you to help with my daughter's wedding when you're done with your confinement."

"Of course, sister-in-law wouldn't let me help her. Lying in bed every day, I'm practically going to die of boredom." This was Hui Niang's first confinement period, and she couldn't help but complain a few times, which made both the old lady and Zhao Yu ru laugh.

"Confinement care is very important, don't be careless or you might develop health problems later in life."

"Yes, you gave birth to twins and they were premature. Logically, you should be resting for double the time. When the time comes, ask Dr. Zhang to take your pulse and see if you need to rest a few more days."

Several people were talking, while Grandma He and Shui Ling Shui Yun came over to help cook.

The old woman led Zhao Yuru out of the side room. This was Zhao Yuru's first time meeting He Mama and Shui Yun Shui Ling.

Seeing that they were all honest-looking men, and that Lord Hou had personally come to take care of Jia Yin, Zhao Yuru was naturally delighted. She untied her pouch, took out three silver coins, and rewarded them.

"We are not at home during the day, so we depend on you three to take good care of Granny and Funiu'er."

Grandma He and Shui Yun Shui Ling looked at the old woman. The old woman smiled and said, "Take it, she doesn't often stay at home, and she worries that Hong Ying is too busy to handle things alone. You received the silver, so in the future help her more, then she will rest assured."

Grandma He and the other two hurried to bow, receiving the silver.

Finally, Shuiling went to the west wing to accompany Jiayin.

Suiyun followed Grandma He into the kitchen, picking vegetables and soaking rice to prepare for cooking.

The three of them lived next door and every morning they would do needlework together, or they would take turns telling stories to Jia Yin, teaching her the rules.

Come over in the afternoon to help with cooking, and then wash clothes and tidy up the house in the afternoon. After dinner, I'll go back home.

These days, with their help, the old woman felt much lighter. Tao Hongying didn't have to worry about home while she was busy in the valley...

In the evening, the old lady took out all the gifts from the meeting day of the matchmaker and showed them to Zhao Yuru. Zhao Yuru felt completely at ease.

The next morning, Li Lao'er drove a carriage to send Zhao Yuru back. On the way, he invited Mr. Wen, Mrs. Cui, and Liu Zhiheng to have dinner at his house.

Liu Zhiheng remembered the fruit on the mountain and drove straight to Suijintan.

When he came down the mountain, munching on fruit and swaggering, Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui also arrived.

Li Jiaxiao set up a table of wine and food. The old lady personally asked Mr. Wen, Mrs. Cui, and Liu Zhiheng to help go to the Peng family to propose marriage, and even Mrs. Liu was to be a companion guest.

Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen readily agreed. The Li and Peng families were both interested in a marriage alliance, so this was just a formality for them, a very simple matter.

But Mrs. Cui refused. As a divorced woman, no matter the reason, her marriage wasn't considered auspicious.

This kind of happy event, she shouldn't get involved, so she smiled and said, "Auntie, you guys will all be in Luo An then, only Hong Ying will be left at home, I'm afraid she won't be able to take care of everything. I'll help out here."

Li Laotai knew her concerns and patted her hand, not forcing her.

Things were settled, so everyone dispersed.

The archway at the entrance of the village is nearly finished, having been built in four or five days with enough manpower.

Just outside the new city gate, heading north for a short distance, you'll see this towering archway.

Many people envy, some are jealous, and even more regret.

Had they known that this barren land, riddled with gravel and stones, was a feng shui treasure, they would have fought tooth and nail to acquire it. How could it possibly fall into the hands of a band of refugees

But it's too late to say anything now!t."General, we found the jade box and smoking paraphernalia, and there's also a list of flowers!"Jiang Cheng was delighted and immediately ordered, "Pack everything into boxes, seal them tightly, and...
