Li Pangdan shook his head: "No, my Uncle Liu told me to count the quantity and then register it. He didn't say anything about categorizing it."

Liang Shuyan sighed and then said, "Alright, today is the opening day, so you all stop working, go wash your hands, and get ready to go into the tents to eat. Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged on your wages today."

Chunyan's lips curled up: "Auntie, I don't want wages. I eat, drink, and relieve myself at your house, and you even let me go to school. How can I stand it?"

"Alright, Chunyan, that's enough. Tidy up the work shed a bit. The warehouse is a bit messy today, so keep an eye on it and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Liang Shuyan gave a few instructions and then went into the tent.

Since she arrived at Ling Village, Lizheng and the villagers have taken special care of her. Today, she must express her gratitude to them.

Sanwang brought over a jar of wine and said with a smile, "Mother, do you think we should go and offer a toast now?"

Liang Shuyan spoke softly, clapped her hands, and led Sanwang to stand on the bench in the middle of the tent. She said, "Today is the opening of our teahouse, which is a great joy. There is another joyous occasion: Sanwang and Ruyan are getting engaged today. So please eat and drink to your heart's content. Don't be shy. My son and I have been able to get to where we are today thanks to the help and support of Lizheng and the villagers. Here, I bow to everyone to express my gratitude."

A commotion broke out inside the tent, and people immediately began discussing Liang Shuyan's character.

"Oh my, that old lady from the mountains is really capable. Not only does she manage her household so well, but she also runs a teahouse and I heard she even took over a restaurant in town. She's truly a remarkable person in our village!"

"That's right. She also donated money to the village and helped the villagers of Huai Shu Village get through the most difficult time. At that time, no one in several villages in our town was willing to accept the disaster victims from Huai Shu Village, let alone donate food and money to the people of Huai Shu Village. Da Shan Niang not only donated food but also donated a large sum of money to help the disaster victims of Huai Shu Village rebuild their homes."

The one who said this was naturally Jiao, the wife of the principal. Her eyes swept over the group of women sitting at the surrounding tables, and she gave them a thumbs up.

"Of course, I'm only talking about public and private matters. Da Shan's mother even told Qiu Dong about such a good daughter-in-law as Jin Xia. Not only did Qiu Dong's illness get better because of this, but he also got a wonderful daughter-in-law. In our entire Daling Village, besides Da Shan's wife, Qiu Dong's wife is the best daughter-in-law, isn't that right?"

Hearing this, Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Hehe, isn't that because Jinxia is so lucky to have met such a good mother-in-law like you?"

Liang Shuyan then walked over and coughed lightly twice: "Oh dear, did I hear that right? You two are being affectionate in broad daylight?"

When Aunt Liu saw Liang Shuyan, she stood up and patted Aunt Liu's shoulder with a smile: "Are you kidding us? But really, I should thank you for being such a great matchmaker. If it weren't for you, how could Jinxia have found such a good mother-in-law, and how could I have such a good son-in-law as Qiudong?"

Old Liu walked over with a glass of wine, smiling as he handed one to Liang Shuyan, and also one to Li Zheng and his wife.

"Taking this opportunity, I, Old Liu, also want to properly thank Aunt Dashan, the matchmaker, for giving Jinxia such a good home. Even if I, Old Liu, die now, I can close my eyes in peace."

Li Zheng waved his hand: "Old Liu, what are you saying? Jin Xia is a good girl. She always has her parents constantly looking after her. When she sees me come back from outside, she quickly serves me tea and helps my mother-in-law cook and wash the pots. Before, my wife didn't know what to cook every day, but now, Jin Xia has arranged everything for us!"

Everyone was very envious. They envied Aunt Liu's Jinxia for marrying into a good family, and they envied Lizheng's Qiudong for finding a good wife. They were envious in all sorts of ways.

The plump aunt sitting to the side lowered her head and remained silent whenever her son and daughter-in-law were mentioned.

Speaking of Aunt Pang's son, Jin Niu, after listening to his wife's words, he said that Aunt Pang was worthless in front of others, and that she complained that her mother's cooking was not good. He also said that she would try to get any money she had. But none of that mattered. What mattered was that his wife could scold Aunt Pang more swiftly than eating beans.

Liang Shuyan noticed the plump aunt's mood, sat down next to her, and said softly, "What's wrong? Is the food not good, plump aunt?"

The plump aunt shook her head repeatedly when she saw Liang Shuyan: "No, you're so good at cooking. Every dish is delicious. Look at this braised pork slices, so red and shiny, they look so appetizing. Even the big restaurants in town don't have this kind of taste!"

"Then eat well, don't be shy."

Chunyan rushed in and whispered a few words in Liang Shuyan's ear. Liang Shuyan stood up and asked, "When did you find out?"

Chunyan lowered her head and said, "Auntie, right after you left, I went to check the warehouse and found that our original twenty-odd boxes of tea were gone, and the fifty-cash deposit for the tea we just received in the drawer was also gone!"

Liang Shuyan thought of Jin Daya's man who had just arrived, and then asked, "By the way, your uncle, didn't you see him?"

Chunyan seemed to remember something and said in surprise, "That's right, Auntie, when I went to the backyard that time, I saw my uncle. It seemed like my grandma had scolded him, and he came out angrily. Could it be that my uncle stole our tea leaves to get revenge on grandma!"

These tea leaves were originally intended by Liang Shuyan to be given to the guests who came to offer their congratulations today. Now that so many have disappeared, what should she do?

Liang Shuyan then said with a gloomy face, "Go, call Da Shan Zhao Heng and the people from the martial arts school over. Check the house carefully to see if anything is missing. Make a note of it and bring it over."

Dashan nodded: "Okay, Mom. We'll split up and check to see if anything is missing from the house, and also look around the village."

Sanwang said angrily, "I knew this uncle-in-law had no good intentions. For so many years, he's never come to our house, nor has he allowed my aunt to come. This time, he actually brought us an old hen?"

"I guess this old hen isn't laying eggs anymore, otherwise, why would she be willing to give it to us?"

Liang Shuyan quickly approached the old lady and asked in a low voice, "Mother, has my brother-in-law been looking for you a lot?"
