Chapter 358 Money can’t buy you. You’d know it earlier.
Tao Hongying shook her head and laughed softly, "Mom, don't worry, Madam Hui is smart."
Sure enough, after a while, Li Yong opened the door and came out.
As he led the horse, he said to the old lady, "Auntie, Madam Hui can't feed her two children. I'll go to a nearby village to see if I can buy a dairy goat."
“I heard that children will grow taller if they drink goat’s milk. From now on, I will ask Fu Niu’er and Cat Brother to drink a few more bowls of it every day.”
“Go ahead,” the old lady responded, “remember to give us our family’s name. We don’t expect to get much cheaper, but the main thing is that people don’t fool you with old sheep.”
Li Yong responded with a smile, mounted his horse and ran away.
Tao Hongying looked at the old lady and said with a smile, "Mom, am I right? Madam Hui is very smart. This is why I would rather have her teach Fu Niuer instead of asking Mrs. Cui."
The old lady sighed and nodded, "Jin Rou is a good person, but she has a stubborn temper and doesn't bother to use means, so she suffers losses easily. This woman is better off like Madam Hui."
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, a carriage arrived in front of the door, and Zhao Yuru actually jumped out of the car.
“Third wife, why are you back?”
The old lady hurriedly picked her up with Tao Hongying. Zhao Yuru carried the package and said with a smile, "Mom, there is a car in the town going to Xindu. I was thinking about home, so I took a ride along the way. I hired a carriage to come back to Kyoto."
“Is everything okay in the shop?”
"Well, Lao San and Jia Huan can be busy, and Jia Ren and Gou Sheng'er can also help at noon and evening."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking as they walked into the house. At this moment, Jiayin heard the noise next door and was not afraid of being spanked by her mother. She ran back quickly and hugged Zhao Yuru's thigh.
“San Bo Niang, San Bo Niang, Fu Niuer misses you!”
Zhao Yuru had a smile on her face. She hugged her little niece and kissed her again and again. She joked, "You have only been back for a few days, and now you miss your third aunt? I'm afraid you miss the good things that your third aunt brought back?"
Fu Niuer blushed, "No, no, I just miss Third Auntie! There will be delicious food when Third Auntie comes back!"
Zhao Yuru laughed loudly, "Isn't this the same idea? In the end, I still want delicious food!"
After that, she stopped teasing her little niece, opened the package and took out a snack box, "A new snack shop opened in the town these days. Everyone said it was delicious. My aunt bought you a box. You can Try it? If you like it, I’ll buy it for you later.”
“Thank you, auntie!”
Jiayin opened it and took a look, and sure enough, all the snacks were of novel styles, so she quickly divided a few pieces out, hugged the rest and ran away.
Her brothers were about to finish school, and she went to sit at the door for a while, just in time to wait for them to come back and eat together.
Zhao Yuru grabbed her niece and said, "Wait a moment."
She took out two more pairs of shoes, one big and one small, and said with a smile, "I have nothing to do these days to do some sewing. Mom and Fu Niuer will both try it."
“There is so much work in the shop, why are you still thinking about what shoes to make for us? Be careful not to stay up late and tire your eyes.”
The old lady was annoyed, but she still put on her shoes, which fit her feet as well as before.
Jiayin also wore new shoes and jumped up and down on the ground.
Compared with so many different types of shoes in the previous life, the thousand-layer sole made of stitches is still the most comfortable!
“Thank you, aunt!” Fu Niuer hugged San aunt’s thigh and smiled coquettishly.
At this time, the boys are out of school.
Jiaxi Jiaan led Brother Cat into the house and was extremely happy to see Zhao Yuru back.
One called her mother, and the other called her uncle or aunt, and the room immediately became more lively.
The old lady had a headache due to the noise, so she hurriedly sent them to the west room to have snacks.
Brother Cat immediately hugged the snack box, and Jia An Jiaxi took his sister with his hands and ran away happily. Tao Hongying asked a few questions and heard that Zhao Yuru would not go back until tomorrow, so she hurried to the valley to get busy.
The old lady took Zhao Yuru to see Huiniang. Zhao Yuru sewed two tiger head hats for the child. Huiniang was very happy and thanked her again and again.
Zhao Yuru said, "My sister-in-law, don't be so polite. When you are out of confinement, I still expect you to help Zhang Luo Jiahuan's marriage."
"Of course, it's not even possible if my sister-in-law doesn't let me help. Lying in the house every day, I'm going to be suffocated." It was the first time Huiniang was in confinement and she couldn't help complaining, which made the old lady and Zhao Yuru both angry. It's a laugh.
“It’s like this during confinement, so don’t be careless, or you may get the root of the disease and suffer the consequences in old age.”
"Yes, you gave birth to two children, and you were born prematurely. Logically, you will have to sit for two days. Then ask Dr. Zhang to take your pulse and see if you can sit for a few more days."
While a few people were talking, Grandma He and Shui Ling Shuiyun came over to help cook.
The old lady took Zhao Yuru out of the wing. It was the first time for Zhao Yuru to see Aunt He and Shui Yun Shuiling.
The three of them seemed to be responsible people, and it was the Marquis who personally found him to take care of Jiayin. Of course Zhao Yuru was happy, so she opened her purse and took three pieces of silver to reward them.
"We are not at home on weekdays, so the old lady and Fu Niu'er have to worry about you three."
Grandma He and Shui Yun Shuiling looked at the old lady, and the old lady smiled and said, "Take it, she is not at home often, and she is worried that Hongying can't do it alone. You accept the money and help more in the future, so that she can rest assured." "
Mammy He and the other three people quickly saluted and collected the money.
Finally, Shuiling went to the west room to accompany the good news.
Shuiyun followed Grandma He into the kitchen, picked vegetables, soaked rice, and prepared to cook.
The three of them live next door and spend every morning doing needlework, telling stories and learning rules.
He came over to help with cooking at noon, did laundry and tidied up the house in the afternoon, and went back after cooking and eating in the evening.
These days, with their help, the old lady feels much more relaxed. Tao Hongying is busy in the valley and does not have to worry about her family...
In the evening, the old lady took out all the gifts for the day of the marriage proposal and showed them to Zhao Yuru. Zhao Yuru was completely relieved.
Early on the next morning, Li Laoer drove a carriage to send Zhao Yuru back, and on the way invited Mr. Wen, Mrs. Cui and Liu Zhiheng to have dinner at home.
Liu Zhiheng was worried about the fruits on the mountain, so he followed the car to Broken Gold Beach.
As he was strutting down the mountain while nibbling on the fruit, Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui also arrived.
The Li family set up a small banquet. The old lady personally asked Mr. Wen, Mrs. Cui and Liu Zhiheng to help them go to the Peng family to propose marriage. Even Mrs. Liu wanted to be a guest.
Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen agreed immediately. Both the Li family and the Peng family were interested in getting married. They were just going through the motions. It was a simple matter.
But Mrs. Cui refused. She was a divorced woman, and no matter what the reason, the marriage could not be considered a happy one.
She couldn't get involved in such a happy event, so she smiled and said, "Auntie, you will all go to Luo'an by then. Hongying is the only one at home. I'm afraid she won't be able to take care of her. I'll help at home."
Mrs. Li knew her concerns and patted her hand without forcing her.
When the matter was settled, everyone dispersed.
The archway at the entrance of the village was almost completed in four or five days because of the sufficient manpower.
As long as you exit the Xindu Gate and walk to the north, you will see this tall archway.
There are many people who are envious, there are also many who are jealous, and there are even more regrets.
Had they known that this barren mountain and river beach full of gravel was a geomantic treasure, they would have grabbed it no matter what. How could it be the turn of a group of refugees?
But it’s too late to say anything at this time!
