here we go again.

She has used this method for decades.

Luo Tianhe waved to Zhiwan, signaling her to go back to her room first. Seeing Zhiwan about to leave, Old Madam Luo stood up and blocked her way.

“You little bitch, don’t think that just because your father is on your side, no one can deal with you. Let me tell you, I’m still the one who calls the shots in the Luo family. The entire Luo family belongs to me. You take your little bastard and get out of here.”

"It's all yours."

Luo Tianhe suddenly flung his hand away and angrily ordered Zhiwan:

“Zhiwan, didn’t you just make some money? Go out and buy a courtyard house, then we’ll move out and leave this courtyard house for your grandmother to live in by herself.”

Upon hearing this, Zhiwan was taken aback at first, then saw her father give her a meaningful look, and she quickly nodded.

"Okay, Jiawang, you keep an eye on Yiming for me. I'll go out and look for him now."

"You dare..."

Grandma Luo was clearly frightened by Luo Tianhe's words.

She used to act out and make a scene because she relied on the fact that the family was left by her husband, and they didn't dare to contradict her.

Now that Luo Tianhe is saying he wants to buy a separate courtyard and live elsewhere, she knows that Luo Zhiwan made money from this medicinal herb resale. If they really move out, she will be all alone in this house. Who will she complain to then?

Thinking of this, her voice weakened considerably, and then she let out a cold snort.

"Luo Tianhe, don't you want to protect the property left by your ancestors? Are you planning a rebellion?"

“Mother, it’s not that I don’t want to stay here, it’s just that you’re making a fuss and I’m getting annoyed. You can stay here by yourself and curse as much as you want. Nobody will care.”

"snort!"

Grandma Luo looked at him awkwardly, then blinked a few times.

"Um... I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. I'm really tired, I'm going back to my room to rest for a while."

After saying those words, she turned around, leaned on her cane, and slowly made her way back to her room.

Luo Tianhe then waved to Zhiwan again.

"Go on, go back and get a good night's sleep."

"Thank you, Dad."

"No need to thank me, we're family."

After smiling at her father, Zhiwan picked up Yiming and walked towards her room.

These past few days, she has not only been very tired, but she also hasn't had time to spend with Yiming.

She placed Yiming on the bed and watched him smile at her; her heart suddenly softened.

"Little one, you've recognized your mother now, haven't you? It's all my fault, I couldn't even give you a drop of milk. But don't worry, from now on, I won't let you suffer any more grievances."

As she spoke, she lay down beside him, gently patting him while squinting her eyes.

Finally, the scolding from her grandmother stopped outside, so she slept soundly until Zhiruo came to call her for dinner.

"Big sister, wake up..."

Zhi Ruo's voice entered her ears softly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"What time is it?"

"It's past the fourth quarter of the hour of You (5:45 PM), get up and eat!"

She quietly got up, turned around and saw that Yiming was sleeping soundly. She gestured to Zhiruo not to disturb her, and the two of them went out one after the other.

Only after leaving the house did Zhiruo dare to speak.

"Big sister, Yiming is so obedient. He always sleeps when we eat, and we rarely hear him cry. A child like this will know how to care for you when he grows up."

What Zhiruo said is true. Yiming has been alive for more than two months now, and we rarely hear him cry. When he is hungry, he will at most grimac a few times.

Having such an obedient child saves her a lot of worry.

Grandma Luo didn't come to eat dinner tonight, so Jiawang's mother served her some and brought it into the house before coming out again.

She sat at the table, looking at Luo Tianhe in surprise.

"What's wrong with Mother today?"

Luo Tianhe glared at her coldly.

"What? You're not happy that she's quiet?"

"No, it's just that she suddenly quieted down, which I found a little strange."

"Just eat your food. If she calms down, our family can have a few days of peace."

After thinking it over, Jiawang's mother realized he was right; otherwise, dinner tonight would have been a complete mess.

...

The next morning, after handing Yiming over to her mother, Zhiwan went to fetch Luo Tianhe.

"Father, business at our pharmacy is back to normal now, why don't you go there?"

Without a second thought, Luo Tianhe waved his hand.

"Your father has worked hard all his life, but he hasn't earned as much money as you have in these past ten days. Your mother and I have discussed it these past few days. I've worked hard all my life and want to take a good rest. I'll hand over the pharmacy to you from now on. Zhiruo can help you manage it. As for Jiawang, now that you're earning money, you should consider sending him to school or finding him a tutor. He's a man, and he needs to pass the imperial examination to bring honor to the Luo family. Over the years, I've been teaching you and your siblings to read and write. Now, I don't have that much energy anymore. Your mother and I will stay home and help you take care of the children and cook for you!"

Zhiwan was surprised by her father's words.

"Father, the pharmacy is the lifeblood of our Luo family. You've guarded it for decades. It's not appropriate to hand it over to me, is it?"

“There’s nothing wrong with it. Jiawang is too young to run this pharmacy right now, so you can manage it for him for now. When he grows up, you can hand it over to him.”

After pondering for a moment, Zhiwan nodded.

"Alright, thank you for your trust, Father. I will definitely manage the pharmacy business well and find a school for Jiawang so that he can learn knowledge properly. I believe he will not let you down."

Luo Tianhe nodded with satisfaction.

"After this incident, Dad believes you can do it. But you must remember, from now on, just do your own thing and don't care what others say behind your back. As long as you can't hear it, just pretend nothing happened."

Her father probably meant to tell her not to let the malicious slander from those gossipy women affect her mood.
