n is right in front of our doorstep, how could we let anyone come and run wild!"Mr. Wen bowed and thanked him, then instructed Jiarren, "If you meet anyone who talks about me when you're out, just spe...“Mother, how did you arrive so quickly We were planning to have Jiahuan send a message back home and ask for your arrival as soon as possible! We’re simply too busy, we never expected that you would have gathered all the manpower.” Zhao Yuru hugged her mother-in-law’s arm and said dependently like a daughter to her mother.

Li Laosan didn't say anything, but he also let out a long sigh of relief with a smile on his face.

In the newly bought field, he needed to plant seedlings and water them. He was too busy, so he hired two people nearby.

As a result, he had to constantly watch them, even make them work, otherwise they would be lazy and it was really annoying and tiring.

The dining hall has also been neglected for two or three years, it's filthy. If we want to use it, we need to give it a thorough deep clean first.

Those few people in the original dining hall were all relatives of the academy master, and even included kin of the dean. They were not easy to get rid of.

But let these people stay, they take the wages and don't do their work properly.

Washing a basin, the bottom can still leave mud prints, it's better not to wash at all.

He was so angry just now that he scolded them a few words, and as a result, they immediately said they had stomachaches and ran away without a trace.

They were truly caught between a rock and a hard place, afraid of offending both their husband and Dr. Zhou. They were hesitant and unable to deal with these people casually.

At that moment, when their mother suddenly appeared, they felt more comforted and helpless, like children who had found a source of support.

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law like this, Old Li didn't need to ask to guess most of the reason. Otherwise, how could she be so flustered and run over

In the end, honest children are easy to bully.

Actually, to live in this world, being kind is not wrong, but kindness should also have some edge.

As long as you seize the mistake and hold the moral high ground, don't let anyone take advantage of you.

After all, no one is a real child, so there's no need to be pampered.

Old Mrs. Li patted her daughter-in-law and gave her son a glare, scolding: "Look at you two, so spineless! When you go out, don't say you're from the Li family, it's embarrassing!"

"In the future, you're going to be big bosses! How can such a small matter make you so easily bullied!"

Tao Hongying knew that her third brother and sister-in-law were honest people, and suddenly taking on such a big business, she couldn't adapt for a while, and it was definitely going to be a bit hectic.

"Everything starts hard, your brother and sister-in-law have already made good arrangements! With this experience, next time when you open a grand restaurant and do big business, it will be even smoother."

Both Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru blushed with embarrassment, quickly composed themselves, and straightened their backs.

Zhao Yuru greeted, "Mother, let's go home and settle in first. There's no rush for work."

Li Lao Tai nodded, and saw Li Lao San carry the little granddaughter and take everyone to the backyard of the Houjie.

Wénjuān was cooking at home when she suddenly saw her grandmother and aunt arrive. She was also happy.

The family has been busy these days, her in-laws are very tired, and she also wants to help.

But her mother-in-law, concerned about her young and delicate face, wouldn't let her go out and be seen. She was anxious but helpless, so she had to take on all the housework like cooking and washing clothes.

Old Mrs. Li held her daughter-in-law's hand, noticing her rosy complexion and slightly fuller figure compared to before her marriage. She was very pleased.

Grandma Li chuckled and said, “Good child, listen to Grandma. Be sure to eat more every day so you can gain some weight. You’ll look more blessed that way. Don't get as thin as a chick; a gust of wind might blow you away!”

Wenjuan's face flushed, but her heart was filled with warmth. She sweetly replied, "Grandma, don't worry, I eat a lot at every meal. Mama also says she wants me to gain some weight."

"That's right!" Lao Li hugged her chubby granddaughter, showing off. "Look at our little Fu Niu, she's so blessed! Just look at her round shape, how joyful!"

Wenjuan couldn't help but laugh. If she were like Funiu, she really wouldn't be able to look at herself.

Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying, seeing the children and elders chatting happily, took each other's hands and went to a private room.

Tao Hongying opened the box and put her mother-in-law's and daughter-in-law's clothes in. She asked, "Sister-in-law, Wenjuan seems very close to you. Now that she lives so close, hasn't that concubine in her family caused any trouble again"

"Don't mention it," Zhao Yuru waved her hand and sighed, "That concubine didn't cause any trouble, but Mr. Peng hasn't stopped looking for other women."

It is heard that another bride will be entering the house in a month, she is not yet twenty years old and can write poetry and paint. Mr. Peng is very pleased.

Wenjuan felt ashamed, after all, she was going to call someone "mother" in the future, but she was only two years older than her. But she couldn't stop it, so she cried bitterly. After that, she never thought about home again. She lived so close, for ten days and a half month, she didn't even move once.

"Instead, she stays at home every day cooking and doing laundry. Even when she has free time, she sews. It makes me feel sorry for her. I don't have any daughters either, so this child is also unfortunate. From now on, I will treat her as my own daughter."

Tao Hongying nodded, "Third sister-in-law, you are kind and have a good temper. Wenjuan being your daughter-in-law is truly lucky."

Zhao Yuru sighed, a little dejected. "It's because I have a good temper that people take advantage of me," she said.

Tao Hongying took her sister-in-law's shoulder and walked out, with a swagger like a female warrior from the rivers and lakes. She said cheerfully: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, you have a good temper, but I'm a shrew. Sister-in-law, just wait and see how I help you vent your anger."

Zhao Yuru was coaxed into smiling by her sisters-in-law.

Soon, the dishes were served, and Jiaren also brought back four younger brothers.

Jī'ān and Jiāxǐ were discussing something, both with smiles on their faces. When they suddenly saw Grandma at the doorway, they were overjoyed.

"Grandma, Grandma, how did you get here!" Jiaxi rushed forward and hugged her grandmother, asking.

Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er were also cheering, running over to join in the fun.

As the house was too crowded to fit him in, he turned and hugged his younger sister before squeezing into their mother’s arms.

As a result, she underestimated her sister's weight. Together, the two of them weighed over a hundred pounds, and they crashed into their mother so hard that she almost toppled over with her chair.

Jia'an realized he was in trouble and turned to grab his sister, running away. He quickly came up with a convenient excuse: "Sister, let's go wash our hands! We can't eat without washing our hands!"

Jia Yin was carried by her older brother, running. Seeing her brother's unsteady steps, she was terrified.

If she were to be thrown out, her little white teeth would be gone. How could she ever gnaw on bones or fruit then!

Luckily, Jiale was right at the door and quickly rescued his sister.

Jiarren raised his hand and tapped his younger brother, "You're so old now, yet you're still so unsteady. Be careful not to knock over Funiu."

Jia'an giggled and hid behind her older brother, afraid that her mother would come looking for her.

Tao Hongying had just been startled by her son. If it weren't for the fact that they hadn't seen each other in a long time, she would have really served her son a dish of "bamboo shoots with meat" right away.

After a burst of laughter, the young and old finally sat down to eat. The food was almost cold.

Little bastard, eat me dry.

When the five Jia Ren brothers were growing up, they studied hard and exercised a lot, so their appetites were particularly good.

Wenjuan made four dishes, all served in small clay pots. There was also a pot of white steamed buns and a large bowl of rice porridge.

When Li Lao Tai and they passed by the new city, they bought three roasted chickens and four jin of donkey meat steamed dumplings.

At this point, all the dishes were piled onto the table, so many that it seemed like a small mountain.

But the kids started using their chopsticks, and the food disappeared quickly.

Especially Li Laotai, Jiayin, and Tao Honghui, after putting down their chopsticks, the remaining food in the bowls were all gone in a blink of an eye...

Evidently, the boys had been courteous earlier, waiting for their family to finish eating before they cleaned up the "battlefield"!

Li Lao Tai looked happy but also worried, after all, the family would need to store more food from now on. The grandchildren's stomachs were bottomless pits!ld on the street corner has one. Many workers and farmers who came into the city also bought them."Everybody says our family is kindhearted. We sell this precious ice so cheaply, just to help everyon...
