Surprisingly, after arriving at her new home and having just laid out the bedding, Aunt Chi fainted.

Huo Chenyi quickly summoned Doctor Li.

After examining her with the four diagnostic methods of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation, Doctor Li sighed, his face not looking too good: "She has a bunch of old injuries, and she doesn't take good care of them. She's also constantly worrying and straining herself. How can her body not break down?"

He had told me before that I should take good care of myself, but it seems I didn't take it to heart at all.

Chi Tang was also anxiously taking his pulse.

She has decent medical skills, but that's not her specialty. She prefers to study intractable diseases and other difficult-to-solve problems in other fields.

Although her medical skills were mediocre, she could still tell that her mother was...

“This pulse indicates that you have been suffering from overwork! If this continues, it may damage your blood, qi, and essence…” Chi Tang shook his head sadly.

If this continues...

That's not a sign of longevity!

Doctor Li was surprised: "Can this little baby Tangtang even take a pulse?"

Huo Chenyi said, "If Tangtang knew how, what would you need to come here for?"

That makes sense!

Doctor Li shook his head and went to write a prescription.

He felt that he probably hadn't rested well these past two days, otherwise why would he be thinking such... absurd things?

Tangtang?

How could a baby who is almost a year old possibly need medical attention?

After receiving the prescription, Chi Sihai immediately ran off to get the medicine.

"Your mother is just destined to worry! She worries about everything and can't let go of anyone! But in the end, who isn't doing better than her?"

Old Man Chi couldn't help but complain in front of the children.

After these injuries, he didn't take good care of himself!

Always worrying about this and that!

"Then you should worry about my mother! Don't let her manage everything." Chi Tang immediately sided with her mother.

Which woman wants to become a nagging, worrying person?

Wasn't it all because we were forced into it?

With red eyes, Chi Tang cried out, "My mother doesn't want this to happen. Isn't she tired? Father is so mean!"

Old Man Chi was stunned for a moment.

He made two gurgling sounds in his throat, but no words came out.

The man's face turned ashen. He stood up, staggered, and turned to leave.

"Tangtang, you're not allowed to talk about your father like that, understand?" Chi Erchuan said.

"snort."

Chi Tang turned away, ignoring everyone, and lay down in her mother's arms, falling asleep in no time.

When Sister-in-law Chi and the others returned to visit Aunt Chi, they found Chi Tang with her legs draped over Aunt Chi's face and her head pressed against Aunt Chi's stomach, fast asleep!

Chi Dashan was both amused and exasperated. He took a thin blanket and covered his younger sister with it, saying, "Little chubby girl."

I was quite worried when I heard that Tangtang and her father had argued.

I never expected this girl to be so carefree!

"Alright, let's go out first, so as not to disturb Mom's sleep."

"Okay, sure."

The newly purchased courtyard has a beautiful name, Fenghua Hall. Huo Chenyi came up with the name and asked Mr. Meng to write the inscription for the plaque.

From now on, when others refer to the Chi family, they will say the Chi family of Fenghua Hall.

Fenghua Hall is a courtyard with two entrances and two exits; it is quite compact, but not small.

There are two studies, two living rooms, and three side rooms in the front yard. The three side rooms are right next to the pond, and you can see the pond as soon as you open the door.

The three side rooms were reserved for Chi Dashan and his family of three. One room is currently empty and will be used as a guest room for the time being.

After passing through the covered walkway in the bamboo forest, you will reach the backyard.

There are five main rooms, three west wing rooms, and two side rooms in the backyard.

The side room was converted into a kitchen.

The five main rooms were just enough for Aunt Chi and Chi Tang to stay in one room, Little Fifth Brother in one room, Chi Sihai and Wu Lang in one room, Chi Sanhe and Si Lang in one room, and the other room was reserved for Doctor Li.

The three west wing rooms will be left empty for now. Whoever gets married first will be allowed to live there first.

The children were tired after running around all day, so they all went for a nap.

The adults gathered in the front yard's flower hall, enjoying the spring breeze blowing through the bamboo grove, drinking warm water, eating snacks, and chatting.

"Mother needs to take good care of her health and can't do any more heavy work. But now that my sister-in-law is pregnant, why don't we hire someone?"

Chi Sanhe grinned and offered his suggestion with a smug look on his face.

Before he could finish speaking, Old Man Chi stood up and gave him a shove!

"You're a grown man, how come you're not a full-fledged official? What's your family's financial situation? You're just hiring someone? Are you going to pay for it?"

"You never do anything productive all day long. I see you're just idling around doing nothing. From now on, you'll be in charge of sweeping the yard, cooking, and washing clothes."

Old Man Chi was furious but had nowhere to vent his anger. This brat barged right into his doorstep. It would be a shame not to vent his anger on him.

Chi Sanhe rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky: "Whose men are cooking here?"

Sweeping the yard and washing clothes are barely manageable.

Cooking is going too far.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling aggrieved? Other people's sons..."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this now. Can we talk about it when my mother wakes up?"

The third pond has a big river head.

Old Man Chi also knew when to stop.

"Sister-in-law, how did the talks go?"

"Sure. The shopkeeper said I only need to work half a day on the 1st and 5th of each month, and the payment will be settled on a per-job basis. I'll get sixty coins for half a day!"

Sister-in-law Chi's excitement was written all over her face.

Sixty coins!

And it only takes half a day.

It would take my husband two or three months of manual labor to earn that much money.

"So much? It seems the restaurant owner is very satisfied with your cooking skills."

"Wow, Mom, you're amazing!"

"Auntie is amazing."
