Liang Shuyan was already in a mess, and now Aunt Liu brought up this matter again. She didn't know what to do and looked hesitant.

"What's wrong, Auntie? Is something bothering you right now? Or should I come another day?"

Liang Shuyan reached out and grabbed Aunt Liu, saying with a smile, "It's nothing. If there is anything, come in and tell me."

As was customary, Liang Shuyan led Aunt Liu to her room, told her to sit down, and offered her a cup of tea. When Zhang saw that someone had come to her mother-in-law's room, she brought over a plate of freshly cooked pastries.

"Auntie, these are freshly made snacks. Please try them. They were made by my mother."

Liang Shuyan sat down next to Aunt Liu and said, "Hasn't Old Liu been doing well lately? I saw him go back to help you with the work after he finished his shift. How can you give the grain to your daughter-in-law? The key is that your son is not filial to you."

“Who says otherwise? I was planning to separate Niuwa’s family like this. Now that Jinxia has a husband, we don’t have to worry about her anymore. But there’s still Yinxia and the three of us to live on, right? That old bastard actually said that the whole family will belong to Niuwa from now on. What right do we have to say anything? Listen to what he said, it’s infuriating.”

Liang Shuyan thought of Yinxia's marriage. If Yinxia could find a good match, then Aunt Liu could live with her daughter and son-in-law. But which family in the village had such a suitable match?

"Here's what we'll do. Don't worry about this for now. If you have anything left at home, like food or other necessities, just tell Lao Liu and see what he says. Make him realize that there are still many places at home that need money, and he'll naturally restrain himself. That's one way. Another way is to find Yinxia a partner. If all else fails, you can just live with Yinxia and her husband and let Lao Liu experience life without you!"

Aunt Liu pondered for a moment: "But where can Yinxia find such a partner now? I'm still a little worried. What if she meets a bad one? How could she possibly accept an old woman like me?"

Liang Shuyan stretched out her hands: "This matter needs to be considered carefully. However, you can change your approach. For household expenses, if there is no food or other necessities, just ask Lao Liu for them. Gradually, he will get used to it and become responsible for the family. Naturally, he will not give his hard-earned money to his daughter-in-law."

After pouring out her grievances for a while, Aunt Liu started showing off her own Jinxia and Qiudong.

"Jinxia is a thrifty person. She plans everything at home very carefully, even when I, her mother, visit. Fortunately, I have a thoughtful mother-in-law who can take good care of me when I visit. Qiudong is a filial son. Jinxia is reluctant to let me go, but he is very generous. Every time I visit, he buys me clothes and delicious food."

Liang Shuyan said with a smile, "It's good that Jinxia knows how to manage a household. As for whether you eat or not, that doesn't matter. As long as she's doing well, you, as her mother, will be happy, right?"

"Yes, Auntie, since our two families have a good relationship, could you please take another look at Yinxia's family and find her a suitable husband? She's all grown up now."

Liang Shuyan thought of Yinxia's skills and asked, "By the way, I remember Yinxia can embroider. How is it? Is she still embroidering?"

"She embroiders. She does it herself during her daytime breaks from work. I heard that the embroidered pieces in the clothing store are very valuable, but she just can't embroider them in a short time."

Ancient people's clothes were basically colorless, and they could only add color by embroidering. Thinking of this, another idea popped into Liang Shuyan's mind: "Isn't Mother doing embroidery? Couldn't the village set up an embroidery association, collect everyone's embroidery, and sell it in town? Wouldn't that be a source of income?"

Considering Grandma Jin's health condition, Liang Shuyan felt that the embroidery should be handed over to Yinxia for the time being. However, it would be best if there was a master who could teach her properly, so that she could lead all the women and girls in the village to start embroidery.

"As for embroidery, I have a job that's more suitable for Yinxia now. Yinxia likes embroidery, so why not let her develop in embroidery? Who knows, she might even become a professional embroiderer in the future. It's better than doing odd jobs outside."

"I haven't thought about it yet. Anyway, the wages you pay me at your family's teahouse are quite good, enough for me!"

Liang Shuyan didn't want to tell anyone about her plan to establish the embroidery association for the time being. The teahouse and the restaurant hadn't opened yet, and she really didn't have the energy to do embroidery anymore, so she had to put the embroidery business aside for now. However, after what Aunt Liu said, she had a better idea of ​​what to do.

Inside the martial arts school, the doctor came out of Erniu's room, placed a prescription on the table, and instructed, "The main problem now is the whip wound. Buy the medicine according to my prescription, decoct it, and take it three times a day. It will gradually get better in three days."

Deputy General Xiao never imagined that he would personally serve Jin Erniu.

Jin Erniu said awkwardly, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have anyone to take care of me right now. What I did is shameful."

"You still know how shameful you are? Your mother was furious. Your brother even defended you and got scolded by your mother. Now that you're feeling better, go and apologize to your mother."

"To be honest, I'm afraid of my mother, but I never expected her to be so ruthless towards me. I just wanted to annoy my wife, but I didn't expect that widow to actually try to seduce me. I wanted to explain things to that woman, but my mother caught me red-handed. I can't clear my name now, so I won't explain anymore, lest I make things worse."

Deputy General Xiao sighed: "Since such a thing happened, why didn't you say so sooner, so your mother wouldn't be so angry? If you had said so earlier, maybe she wouldn't have hit you?"

Jin Erniu struggled to sit up and waved his hand: "No, my mother came here to avenge my wife. I'll just take it. In the past, my mother favored us sons, but I don't know when it started, she treats my sister-in-law and my wife better than her own sons. I know that."

Deputy General Xiao said excitedly, "I really didn't expect that my aunt would be so good. There are no mothers-in-law who are so good to their daughters-in-law these days. No woman would be so cruel to her son because of her daughter-in-law."

The room was quiet. Jin Erniu looked at the whip marks on his body and said with some regret, "I deserve this. I had such bad thoughts when I saw my wife putting food on your plate. I deserve it."

"Yes, I'm sorry, I do like you, but I don't have those feelings for you. Don't worry about that!"
