On the evening of the 24th, after Wang prepared Chen Ming's things for his trip to Dingzhou, she gave Chen Afu a silver note, saying it was money for a stake in the restaurant.

Chen Afu confiscated it, and Chen Ming also stopped Chen Afu from taking it.

He said, "The share was written in my name, Chen Ming. I received 250 taels of silver from Ah Fu. That was my daughter's filial piety to me. What is the meaning of my using that silver?"

Wang's eyes turned red and she said, "If the boss thinks I shouldn't have accepted the money, I'll have someone return it to him."

Chen Ming always felt that Chen Afu shouldn't have persuaded Wang to accept the silver, but he didn't want to make Wang sad, so he didn't say it out loud. He also said hypocritically, "I'm not talking about you. Just think of the silver as your dowry and keep it for yourself. I have a daughter's filial piety, which is enough."

Wang said, "My life is very simple, how can I spend that money?"

Chen Ahfu advised, "Mom, if my dad doesn't want to spend it, forget it. You can use the money to buy property and leave it to your brother in the future. A mother's dowry was originally meant to be passed down to her son."

Wang had no choice but to put the banknotes away. Seeing Chen Ming walk out, she muttered to Chen Afu, "I still think I shouldn't have taken the money. I have nowhere to spend it, and your father doesn't want to spend it. Maybe he blames me in his heart."

Chen Ahfu whispered, "If mother doesn't accept the money, that person will feel guilty about you and will come to make up for it. Who knows what he will do. If that happens, father will be even more unhappy."

What she didn't say was that everything she didn't get was the best, not to mention that there was a certain emotional foundation. Although if Chen Shiying really stayed with Wang, it didn't mean that they were the most suitable, nor that their relationship would always be sweet.

But the two broke up when their relationship was at its best because of someone's interference. Wang suffered a lot and gave birth to a daughter for him in humiliation... It is undeniable that Wang had become the mole on Chen Shiying's chest.

Chen Shiying certainly couldn't let go of Wang, and hoped that she could live a good life and that he could make some compensation. If Wang refused, Chen Shiying would be even more obsessed with it and would try to make up for his debt, which would be terrible. This caused turmoil in the two families, and Wang would be the one who was hurt in the end.

After receiving the money, they deceived themselves into pretending to be a pair of siblings and wished each other happiness from afar...

Wang sat by the window, looking at the pale green window paper, and sighed. Perhaps she was thinking of something in the past.

Chen Ahfu felt that he had done the right thing by inserting himself between the two of them and letting Wang accept the money. Everything is not so pure when money is involved. Especially beautiful feelings, when money is involved, they become worldly.

They should be more worldly and less obsessed with each other.

People originally live in the secular world, and the secular world is much more real than the white moonlight in front of the window. That white moonlight is beautiful and pure, and has caused many literati and poets, and lovers to write poems about it. But apart from making people feel sad and nostalgic, it really has no great effect.

What Chen Ahfu disliked most was the scumbag Lu in his previous life. He could have just obeyed his mother's order and divorced his cousin Tang Wan, and they would have lived separately from then on. But he insisted on writing a poem "The Phoenix Hairpin" for her, which made Tang Wan depressed and died in less than half a year.

If he really has that kind of love for his cousin, why doesn't he keep it in his heart and let his cousin live a good life?

…

Early in the morning on the 25th, Chen Ming, Manager Luo, and the eldest family went to Dingzhou Prefecture in a horse-drawn carriage from Tangyuan and an ox-drawn cart from the Chen family.

Zeng Shuang also accompanied Chen Ming because he was the second manager of the Foreign Affairs Office of the General's Mansion. He had many acquaintances and certain connections and could help the restaurant attract certain business.

Chen Afu asked Manager Luo to bring two sets of clothes made by Wang and Gao, some dolls, and forty hangers to the Nishang Embroidery Workshop. She also told Manager Luo that she was too busy and did not want to design and make clothes and accessories for the time being.

Wang Shi had so much money and her fields would soon yield a harvest, so she no longer needed to work for money. She gave the eldest wife a ten percent share, so she no longer needed to help Gao Shi with work.

Those modern clothes hangers are light and take up little space, and they are her gifts to Shopkeeper Luo.

After seeing them off, Chen Afu first went to visit Fuyuan. The landscaping had been completed and the furniture had been moved in. Aunt Zeng had been busy with Xia Yue and Qiu Yue cleaning the furniture and pasting window paper these days. Now the only thing left was the finishing touches of the children's playground. Moreover, Xue Dagui and Chu Xiaoniu had already stayed here at night.

Chen Afu had already decided to move on the 29th of this month, which was an auspicious day, and Chen Ming also promised to come back.

Zeng Laotou led Shanzi to cultivate the half-acre of land between Luyuan and Fuyuan. Chen Afu planned to use the land here and a small piece of land behind Luyuan to grow watermelons. Because watermelons are best not to be rotated, they can grow watermelons this year and vegetables tomorrow.

She had diluted the swallow manure in water and had it watered on the five acres of land where she was going to plant watermelons. She also kept some to water the two small plots.

After the visit, he made some suggestions and then took Dabao to Tangyuan.

At night, after Dabao fell asleep, Chen Afu entered the space. Because, after the midnight of the day, Jin Yanzi could leave the space.

As soon as she entered the space, she saw the golden swallow, as if it had taken stimulants, circling around Yan Chenxiang again and again, not even bothering to greet her. She had wanted to accompany it through the most exciting moment, but seeing that it couldn't calm down, she left the space and went to sleep on the bed.

Chen Ahfu was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt someone scratching her face. She woke up suddenly with a start. In a daze, she saw Jin Yanzi standing beside her pillow, scratching her face with her wings, with the corners of her mouth raised high and her eyes half-closed in a smile.

She sat up happily, held it in her hand and said softly, "Jin Baoer, congratulations, you finally came out to see the light of day."

Golden Swallow giggled happily, "Yes. I'll go for a walk in the woods first, and then come back to play with Chou Dabao and Sister Yan'er."

After saying that, he flew to the door, opened it with his mouth, and flew straight to the south room. Suddenly, the south room was bustling with activity. Qiqi and Huihui shouted "Jinbao Jinbao" and Zhuifeng also howled. Then, they flew out of the south room through the window together, and Zhuifeng also jumped out.

When they arrived at the yard, Jin Yanzi considerately opened the gate for Zhuifeng, and then the three birds and the dog went west. Wangcai heard the noise and also shouted.

When Zeng Laotou heard him walk out of the room, Chen Ahfu had already closed the door. Chen Ming and Wang Shi were also woken up and asked, "What happened?"

Chen Ahfu said hurriedly, "Nothing. I don't know why Qiqi and Huihui went out to play with Zhuifeng in the middle of the night."

When I returned to the room, I saw that Dabao was not woken up and was sleeping soundly.

Chen Afu lay in bed unable to sleep. With Jin Yanzi, his days would become more colorful.
