Tian was in the kitchen, hesitating for a long time in front of half a pig's head. Finally, she cut off half of it, wrapped it in leaves, put it in a basket and took it to Chang's house.

Chang had a bad temper and loved to beat and scold her daughter, so Tian had disliked her company in the past. But when she suddenly came to visit, Chang's expression was indifferent, but when she saw Tian take out the pig's head, her face suddenly changed, with a hint of anger.

"Take it back quickly and don't make yourself uncomfortable. I'm not speaking up for you just for this little bit of meat. Although my family is poor, we can still eat meat a few times a year. No one cares about yours."

"Look at you, will you at least let me have a word? I didn't come here just to give you this little bit of meat. I have something to ask of you."

Chang's expression brightened a bit, but her tone remained calm, "Fresh, what can you possibly ask of me?"

Tian told her that Jian Ning and Blind Liu were going to open a winery together and were planning to hire two people and pay them 180 coins a day.

"I thought of you first, not just because you spoke up for me today, but because you're truly capable. I respect your ability to do things in the back mountains. It's up to you whether you go or not. Just give me a definite answer so I can reply to her."

Chang worked hard every day to pick vegetables and sell them in town. She spent most of the day guarding the vegetable stall in town, and sometimes she only made a dozen coins a day. How could she not take such a good opportunity? Not only was she happy to hear this, but her husband, who was suffering from tuberculosis, was so excited that he coughed non-stop.

"Calm down. Why are you getting so excited?" Chang patted her husband's back gently, and asked Daya to pour two bowls of tea, one for her husband and one for Tian.

Tian was afraid she would be offended if she didn't drink it, so she drank it in one gulp and put down the bowl. "Then I'll send Xiaomai to reply to her letter. This is settled. I have to go back to cook. My brother will be here soon. I'm leaving now."

She came out of Chang's house and saw Ma Xiaomi leading her three uncles and grandmother over. She hurried forward to greet them, "Mom, why are you here too?"

"I can't come?" Her mother rolled her eyes and rolled her eyes at her. "You always say I'm biased towards boys and blame me for only caring about your brother and younger brother. What? Now you understand the benefits of having brothers and younger brothers? Can you handle things without a man in the house?"

"It's all over, it's all resolved. Knowing you'd be coming, my father asked me to make you some braised pork. Come with me home." Tian took the half-sack of bean flour from her eldest brother and affectionately took her mother's arm, saying, "Come on, whatever you want to bring. My family doesn't lack these grains these days."

"Whether you need it or not is your business. How could we come empty-handed when our son-in-law is injured? We don't have much good stuff at home. But you got something good and didn't even think about your family. When you were bullied, you went back to your family for help."

"Mom! Isn't it because my father was seriously injured and needs to recuperate? Otherwise, how could I not think of you? But, our family's life will get better and better in the future, and there will be many opportunities to honor you!"

She told her mother that Jian Ning was going to open a winery, but she didn't mention that the daily payment would be 180 cents. She only said 80 cents, fearing that her mother would ask for more, so she was cautious.

"Oh my god, eighty wen a day? That's more than one tael of silver a month? Almost catching up with your second brother. My daughter, you have to help your mother's family from now on and think more about them, okay?"

Tian's brothers were also happy for her. Her second brother had just returned from a trip abroad and had been resting at home for the past few days. On the way, he had heard Ma Xiaomi tell him about the Ding family's bullying and demanding pork. He was furious. How could you ask for something back after giving it away? Especially since it wasn't their gift.

He asked Tian: "Sister, do you want us to come over to your house to help you vent your anger later?"

Tian shook her head and told her brothers and mother how Jian Ning had beaten them up and vented his anger on her behalf. Her mother spat on her own, calling Meng and her sons shameless. She still didn't know that the Ding family had asked Wu Fengxian to perform a ritual, nor did she know that Wu Fengxian had disgraced herself in Dingjia Village, and Tian had no intention of telling her.

Several people returned home talking and laughing. Tian's mother and brothers went to see Ma Fuquan first when they entered the house. After a conversation, they all felt that the taciturn Ma Fuquan had changed and had a smile on his face. It was only when Ma Xiaomai talked about it that they knew that Ma Fuquan almost died. The person who rescued him, sent wild boar meat, and asked Tian to work were all from the Jian family.

Ma Xiaomi didn't tell them so much. He just said that his father was injured and rescued by someone, including the person who sent the wild boar meat. He didn't mention the name, so they only found out after listening to Ma Xiaomai.

"Guizhi, that Jian is truly a noble lady in your family. You must work diligently for her and not be cunning or cunning. We should take what is ours and not be greedy for what is not ours. Remember what mother said, understand?"

Tian's mother went to the kitchen to warn Tian and then blamed her, "Your son-in-law almost died and you didn't tell your family. If we hadn't come today, he would have blamed us. If he had a problem with your family, how could he be as kind as you? You are really ignorant."

"Don't worry, mother. Your son-in-law has come back from the dead end. He is very different now. He won't mind it."

The sizzling aroma of the braised pork in the pot made Tian's mother's stomach swell with greed. Although her second son was a bodyguard and lived a better life than most people, he couldn't eat meat every day.

She couldn't help but sniff, and then she heard Tian say that she would take a bowl back for her father to taste. Her face was as big as a pumpkin blossom, but she was worried that her son-in-law would have an opinion. As a result, when the food was served, Ma Fuquan called her "wife" in front of them, and asked Tian to serve a bowl first for her father-in-law, and then let her mother-in-law take it back.

He called his mother-in-law "Madam," and her face flushed. Tian's face was also burning, but she was happy inside. The fragrant braised pork was tasteless in her mouth. Of all the people in the room, only her second brother didn't take it seriously. After all, he worked in the county escort agency, and everyone in the county called her that way. He was used to it.

Tian's mother was happy thinking that her son-in-law was good to her daughter, so she couldn't help but ask her son-in-law about his well-being. She wanted to put the braised pork into his bowl several times, but was dissuaded by Tian's second brother. As a bodyguard, he knew that people with external injuries should not eat too greasy food.

Ma Fuquan naturally knew this, but Tian Shi only just realized that he asked her to make the braised pork specifically to entertain his family. When she looked at him again, her eyes were filled with spring tears. Even when she first married him, she had never had such an affectionate look in her eyes.

Jian Ning also made braised pork in the evening. Although Blind Liu said that he would not come to share the meal for the next two days, she still asked Ding Youtian to go to his house and invite him over.

Blind Liu's taste buds were completely conquered by Jian Ning, and he also brought good news. Because in the past, whether he went to the town to tell stories or tell fortunes, he would bring his own wine. Many people in the town knew that the wine he brewed was top-notch, including some wealthy families for whom he told fortunes.

Today he went to restaurants, teahouses and wealthy families to discuss business, and brought back more than ten orders and a package of deposits. The deposits alone amounted to 1,510 taels of silver.

Even before the gong was sounded, the business had already made some money. Jian Ning was so happy that he toasted him three times and gave Ding Youtian a look. The two of them toasted him again and again, and Jian Ning decided to get him drunk so he could get some information out of him and find out if he had secretly helped him that morning.
