After hearing Qin Wan's words, Lu Yu nodded hurriedly, indicating that he agreed with what his wife said.

He knew that every word his wife said was reasonable. The two aunts had worked tirelessly and made great contributions during this period. It was only right and proper for them to have a good rest and give them appropriate rewards and comfort.

Therefore, he responded without hesitation:

"It's all up to Madam!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yu thought for a moment and then continued:

"How about this, you come along too. You've been stuck at home doing chores these days, and I'm sure you're bored. This is a good opportunity to get some fresh air and relax. And I'll take care of the children here, so you can experience firsthand the challenges of being a father."

Hearing her husband's proposal, Qin Wan couldn't help but hesitate. After a moment's hesitation, she replied softly:

"Forget it, I won't go."

Seeing his wife's embarrassed expression, Lu Yu quickly advised:

"Go ahead, go ahead. Nothing will happen. Don't worry, I'll take care of the kids."

In fact, although Lu Yu had not witnessed the living conditions of Qin Wan and others in recent months, he could guess roughly what they were like with just a little imagination.

Not only do they need to take good care of the four children in the family, ensuring they have enough food and clothing and grow up healthily; they also have to be on guard against Mei Fang's secret schemes and ill intentions.

Not to mention whether the Mei family members live in the staff quarters, just based on the connections Mei Yunhe has accumulated over the years as the head of a division, there are many people who want to curry favor with him.

So even if the Mei family was not there, there would probably be people in the family compound who would take the opportunity to cause trouble.

If the family compound was really an iron wall, Qin Fang and the others would not know about Wanwan's going in and out of the city, and of course Wanwan's plan of using herself as bait would not succeed.

"Come on, Wanwan, let's go together."

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Yu looked at Qin Wan with smiles on their faces and invited her warmly:

"Wan girl, come with us! With you by our side, we'll feel much more at ease along the way. We'll even feel like we have more energy to walk than usual!"

Hearing the earnest words of the two aunts, and encouraged by the crowd around him, Qin Wan's originally hesitant heart instantly became firm.

She smiled and waved to Lu Yu and his two sons. After saying goodbye, she turned around and walked out of the gate of the family compound with Aunt Zhang and Aunt Yu, and walked quickly towards the direction of the bus stop.

There didn't seem to be many people heading to the county town today. When the three of them got on the bus, they saw that the carriage seemed empty, with only four or five people sitting sparsely on the seats.

The car drove smoothly all the way and soon arrived at the county town. As soon as they got off the car, Qin Wan took Aunt Zhang and Aunt Yu straight to the department store as if they were familiar with the route.

After entering the building, they first came to the daily necessities area. Qin Wan carefully selected various items, and soon her backpack was filled with white sugar, brown sugar, and some delicious peach cakes.

Then, the group walked towards the clothing area with great interest.

When Qin Wan saw the styles of the clothes in front of him, he couldn't help but frown slightly, muttering to himself: The styles of these clothes are really too old-fashioned, and the colors are too monotonous and boring!

However, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Yu standing by were not as picky as Qin Wan. Their eyes were flashing with excitement at this moment, and their gazes were fixed on the clothes, constantly scanning back and forth, as if each piece was a rare treasure.

Finally, Aunt Zhang pointed to a green plaid smock hanging on the shelf and asked the salesperson:

"Comrade, how much does that piece of clothing cost?

At this moment, the salesperson who was sitting behind the counter knitting a sweater raised her head nonchalantly, glanced quickly in the direction of Aunt Zhang's finger with the corner of her eye, and then said in a flat tone:

"Nine dollars and nine cents, plus a one-foot cloth coupon."

When Aunt Zhang heard that the price was nine dollars and nine cents, and that she had to pay an extra foot of cloth coupons, she couldn't help but gasp. The words that were about to come out of her mouth were swallowed back in an instant. She remained silent, with a look of embarrassment on her face.

Then, the two of them walked forward a few steps, and Aunt Yu's eyes were suddenly attracted by a pair of blue pants.

She asked the salesperson about the price of the pants with great anticipation.

However, after learning the price, she was like a deflated ball and immediately lost the desire to communicate verbally.

Qin Wan, who had been silently observing their every move, naturally did not miss the subtle changes in expression on the faces of the two aunts.

She knew very well that the reason these two elders reacted in this way was simply because they were reluctant to spend the money.

So, Qin Wan turned around without hesitation and whispered to the salesperson:

"Comrade, could you please help me pack up the blouse and trousers these two ladies have just chosen? How much would it cost altogether?"

The salesperson was initially annoyed when he saw Aunt Zhang and Aunt Yu just kept asking about the price but showed no sign of buying. He even couldn't help but grumble in his heart:

"Hey, I'm just looking and not buying, so why are you asking so many questions? You're really wasting my time and affecting my knitting!"

At this moment, she suddenly heard that the young girl in front of her was actually willing to buy these clothes for the two aunts. The expression on her face immediately turned 180 degrees, and her previously tense face instantly bloomed into a bright smile.

She stood up swiftly, folded the clothes Aunt Zhang and Aunt Yu pointed out, put them into bags and packed them up, while answering enthusiastically:
