Qibao was of course very concerned about her grandmother. She thought something had happened to her during her absence, so she asked, "Grandpa, what happened to Grandma? Why didn't you tell me? I would be worried if you didn't tell me."

The old man glared at Xu Laosan again, sighed, cursed, and said, "You're really not good enough to help, but always do more harm than good. Others only report good news and never bad news, but you're the one who's making trouble for Qibao?"

Qibao immediately said, "Grandpa, stop blaming Dad. Tell me what happened to Grandma."

The old man then said helplessly: "Your grandma hasn't been eating or drinking well these past few days. She's been thinking about you the whole time. She almost fainted the day you left. It wasn't until she learned you were back today that she felt better."

Qibao felt a little sad after hearing this, and felt sorry for his grandmother, so he said, "Grandma is worried about me, that's why she did this. I didn't think things through. I can't just leave like that. I made Grandma suffer for me for so long."

The old man said, "Son, everything you do is for this family. How could we possibly blame you? We can't usually help you, and everyone in the family feels guilty about you!"

Qibao scolded him, "Grandpa, why are you saying things like that again? I'm your and Grandma's granddaughter, and I'm willing to sacrifice as much as I can for this family. If you say something like that again, I'll be angry!"

Only then did Xu Laosan say awkwardly, "My daughter is amazing. I'll be waiting to enjoy her blessings in the future!"

"How dare you say that! Be more discerning in the future. Qibao has a lot of things to deal with. We should solve the small things we can solve ourselves. Don't bother Qibao with everything!"

Xu Laosan felt that he shouldn't speak. His father was still angry and whatever he said was wrong, so he could only shut up and let his father lecture him.

Qibao then recalled that his grandmother did look a little tired, but it was nothing serious and she just needed to rest more.

After Wang and Li arranged accommodation for Yueyang and his friends, they went to the kitchen to help.

Qibao said, "Grandpa, which family built the wooden house first?"

The old man said, "We all unanimously decided to help the village chief's family with the construction first. The foundation has been dug in the past few days, the wood has been cut to size, and the roof has been opened now."

Qibao nodded. With so many laborers in the village working together, the village chief’s house would probably be built soon.

The old man said, "By the way, Shopkeeper Hong came yesterday to deliver the money for last month's pills. It was nearly fifty thousand taels of silver. Thankfully, you were thoughtful enough to leave the finished pills at home. Otherwise, where would we get the pills for Shopkeeper Hong?"

Although Qibao left in a hurry, she had arranged everything she needed to.

The old man thought that Qibao was back today and the old woman was happy, so if he drank more at noon, she would stop nagging him. So he brought out a large jar of wine and planned to invite Old Man Lin and others to come over for a drink at noon.

Qibao returned to his room and changed back into women's clothes. When he went out, he was surrounded by Yueyang and others.

Qibao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he found a reason to disperse them, and then he felt a little more at ease.

Qibao came to the kitchen and saw Wang busy waving a spatula with a smile on her face. She looked in a good mood.

Mrs. Jin was lighting a fire at the stove, and Mrs. Yin was helping out on the side. The three sisters-in-law couldn't help much and could only do things like washing vegetables and passing plates.

When Wang saw Qibao coming in, she immediately said, "Qibao, why are you here in the kitchen when it's so hot? Are you hungry? Wait a moment, and we'll cook two more dishes and then we'll eat." After saying that, she wiped the sweat from her head.

Qibao said, "Grandma, you can endure the heat in the kitchen to cook for me, so why can't I come in? I'm not that delicate." Qibao took out a fan and started fanning Wang.

Wang was very happy because her granddaughter loved her.

Mrs. Jin smiled and said, "Madam, look how filial the young lady is. She is so kind to you."

Zhang smiled and said, "Qibao is indeed filial. Unlike those naughty boys at home, they worry about me all day long."

There was laughter and chatter in the kitchen. After a while, Wang finished cooking the last dish and said, "Your grandparents have been thinking about you these days. Invite them to our house for lunch today."

Qibao said, "Okay, I'll go now!"

Qibao trotted all the way to the winery. As soon as he entered the gate, there were no workers there. They must have gone out to eat at this time.

So Qibao came to the office inside the winery and saw his grandfather closing the door with a rice bowl in his hand.

"Grandpa!" Qibao shouted.

When Old Man Lin heard the voice, he immediately turned around and saw his granddaughter standing behind him and smiling at him.

"Qibao! When did you come back? You haven't been at home these few days. Your grandma and I were worried to death." Old man Lin's face was wrinkled with smile. He walked up to Qibao, took Qibao's fleshy hand and rubbed it.

Qibao said, "I just got home this morning. Where's grandma? My grandparents asked you to come over for dinner."

"Your grandma has just gone to the canteen with the workers. Let's go find your grandma together."

Old Man Lin took Qibao's hand and they came to the canteen together. As soon as they entered, they could hear the workers talking. Some of them had already started eating, while others were still queuing.

Many people greeted Qibao when they saw her, and a few workers also curiously asked Qibao why they hadn't seen her in the past two days. She explained that she had stayed at a barbecue restaurant in town for a few days.

Finally, the two found Sun in the queue for food.
