Mrs. Guo knew her son's words made sense, but she still couldn't help but say with distress, "Don't take these kinds of urgent errands anymore. You'll ruin your eyes if you keep doing this, and it's not good for your health either."

"Okay, Mom, I understand." Guo Shijie agreed very happily.

But Mrs. Guo sighed in her heart, because she knew that her son was just trying to please her.

As long as he can make money, he will take the job next time without thinking too much about it.

Ultimately, it’s because the family has no money.

Mrs. Guo became even more upset when she thought of these things. Her previous job of raising chickens and ducks in the Cen Mansion was so good. It was leisurely and she earned a lot of money.

But many days have passed since Meng Yu sent her home.

Old Mrs. Guo was still wondering when Meng Yu would ask her to go back and continue working.

But no matter how long I waited, there was no news.

Recently, Mrs. Guo has had to go out and take on some odd jobs like washing and mending clothes for others.

She hadn't originally planned to ask for an explanation, but after seeing how hard her son worked today, Mrs. Guo decided that she must go to the Cen family tomorrow.

At least she had to get things clear. Now the situation was so unclear that she didn't dare to go out and look for other jobs, for fear of conflict with the Cen family.

The next day, as soon as the sky turned pale, Mrs. Ye woke up. She tiptoed with her clothes and shoes in her arms, afraid of waking Qingtian up. She took them all outside, closed the door, and then dressed herself.

After washing up, Mrs. Ye went straight to Mr. Cen's residence.

"How is it?" Mrs. Ye asked Boss Ye by mouthing.

"Don't worry, the old man sweated a lot last night and his fever has subsided."

"That's good. I didn't sleep well all night, fearing something might go wrong."

"Meng Yu went to wash up, and Shi Lei went to the kitchen to get breakfast. When they come back, someone will replace me."

"Are you too tired?" Mrs. Ye said with a distressed look on her face. "After breakfast, hurry back to your room and catch up on some sleep!"

"Why are you catching up on sleep? I want to go to the dumpling restaurant with you!"

"The second and third brothers are over there, so you'll be idle if you go there."

"Even if I have to sleep, I'll sleep over there." Boss Ye lowered his voice and said, "It's closer to you."

"You're already an adult, but you've lost your composure!" Mrs. Ye was so surprised to hear such a remark that she punched him in anger and said, "Is this the time to say such things?"

"Don't worry, the old man just caught a cold, he's fine!"

After breakfast, Mrs. Ye got herself ready and went out with Boss Ye and her daughter.

The normal route should be to send Qingtian to Qin's house first and let her learn to read and write.

But Qingtian slept too late yesterday and couldn't be woken up today.

Now there is no one at home who can spare the time to look after the children.

Mrs. Ye could only wrap Qingtian in her cloak and take her directly to the store to let her continue sleeping.

But before going to the store, you have to go to Qin's house to say hello.

Old Mrs. Guo came to look for Meng Yu. As soon as she walked into the alley, she saw a family of three walking out of the Cen Mansion.

She didn't care at first, but when she saw three people coming out of the Cen family, she took a closer look.

Who knew that this sight would leave her stunned.

Why do these two adults look familiar?

Seeing them walking out, Mrs. Guo subconsciously moved to the side and hid under the porch of a house.

She continued to look outside cautiously, and when she saw Boss Ye turn around, she finally confirmed the identities of the two people. Aren’t these the eldest son and his wife of the Ye family?

The more Mrs. Guo looked at it, the more puzzled she became. The two had been married for many years but had no children. This was a well-known fact among the people living outside the Great Wall.

So where did this big child in Boss Ye’s arms come from?

Could it be that he came to Beijing to kidnap children?

No wonder the Ye family's life got better and better after they came to the capital.

She thought about it and shook her head. That’s not right. The Cen family doesn’t have any children at all!

Just as Mrs. Guo was puzzled, she saw Mrs. Ye getting into the car with the child in her arms.

Boss Ye drove away in the carriage without noticing that Old Lady Guo was hiding not far away.

Old Mrs. Guo couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. The most urgent thing for her was to ask herself when she could resume her job of feeding the chickens and ducks.

She came to the gatehouse and said she was looking for Meng Yu.

Who knew that Menzi would directly say: "Aunt Guo, Brother Meng is busy and has no time to see you.

"By the way, all the chickens and ducks in the mansion have been sent away. You don't need to come here anymore."

These words stunned Mrs. Guo.
