With her eyes open, she was faced with a mud-brick house and a strong, rough man. Xia Lan was bewildered.
She discovered she had actually returned to the 1970s, becoming an orphan who had jus...
Xia Lan's eyes lit up.
Tuanyuan Decoration Company was officially established at this moment.
The company was already overwhelmed with orders on the very day it was founded.
Xia Lan's renovation efforts led to the sale of all the remaining dozens of apartments within just one week.
The enormous profits left Yang Ziye speechless.
Xia Lan smiled and realized that even after deducting costs, the three of them would still get a considerable amount.
That's why people say real estate is extremely profitable.
This sum really exceeded their income over the previous few years.
The three men became even more determined and prepared to take over other territories.
Xia Lan's Reunion Decoration Company also became famous overnight.
He works quickly and well, and is very efficient. Although he has some disabilities, no one has ever said anything bad about the cabinets he makes.
Now everyone knows that Xia Lan has a powerful renovation team.
Disability has long become a label of honor for them; they have successfully changed everyone's perception of them through their own abilities.
The reputation of the house has become the focus of everyone's attention.
None of the first people to receive their renovated houses were dissatisfied.
Whether it's the thoughtful design of the house or the decoration, they won big this time.
Once you've succeeded the first time, subsequent successes can be replicated.
Qin Ming went to acquire the land, leaving Xia Lan and Yang Ziye with some free time.
Wu Shishi's postpartum period was taken care of by both of her mothers, while Yang Ziye focused on taking care of their son.
When Xia Lan and Qin Yu took the child to see Wu Shishi, Xia Lan looked at Wu Shishi, who had gained a lot of weight, and fell into a long silence.
"...No, what have you been feeding her? How did she get so fat?"
Xia Lan looked at Wu Shishi in disbelief.
"The soup my mom made."
Wu Shishi said mournfully.
"There's always more soup than you can drink every day."
No matter how much Wu Shishi protested, it was no use. Her mother would cook all kinds of nourishing soups for her every day without fail.
"Lanlan, save me..."
Wu Shishi choked up as she said she needed outside help.
"..."
Xia Lan looked at Yang Ziye, who sighed.
That's his mother-in-law; she's doing it all for Wu Shishi's good. How could he possibly stop her...?
"Aunt Wu, Shishi can't drink any more soup."
Xia Lan took Wu's mother directly to the hospital and asked the doctor to tell her if she could drink so much soup now.
Upon hearing the doctor's words, Wu's mother looked at Xia Lan.
"We didn't have the means before, but now that we do, shouldn't we take good care of ourselves?"
Wu's mother asked in a low voice.
"The new mother's body is weak after giving birth, but she shouldn't take too much tonic now, because she won't be able to absorb it."
The doctor spoke earnestly to Wu's mother.
"If you want her to produce milk, you can prepare some fish soup or Siwu Tang (a traditional Chinese medicine formula) for her..."
"But the amount should not be too much, otherwise the new mother will gain weight, which is not good for her health."
"You still want..."
The doctor explained carefully, and only after hearing what the doctor said did Wu's mother realize something.
"Wow, there are so many rules about drinking soup during postpartum confinement!"
When Xia Lan took Wu's mother back, she patted Xia Lan's hand gratefully.
“When I gave birth to her, conditions were not good. Now that it’s Shishi’s turn to give birth, I want to prepare all the soups for her, hoping that she won’t have to go through the same thing as me.”
Wu's mother looked at Xia Lan and sighed softly.
"I know you're doing this for Shishi's own good! No one will doubt that."
Xia Lan smiled gently at Wu's mother.
"You just want to give Shishi all the best things in the world and not let her suffer any injustice, unlike you."
Wu's mother patted Xia Lan on the shoulder; that was indeed what she thought.
Xia Lan chuckled softly.
“Shishi knew, so she didn’t stop it.”
"But someone has to say something about this, so I'm willing to be the bad guy."
Xia Lan looked at Wu's mother. Both of them were right, but drinking so much soup was indeed not good for Wu Shishi.
If someone needs to be the bad guy, let her be it.
"We all know you're doing this for our own good, how could we think you're a bad person?"
Wu's mother looked at Xia Lan and smiled.
They all knew who Xia Lan was fighting for, so what was there to argue about?
Back home, Wu Shishi stopped making the soup she feared most every day.
It turned into a small bowl of Siwu Tang (a traditional Chinese medicine soup).
Wu Shishi looked at Xia Lan excitedly, wondering how she had done it.
Xia Lan smiled lightly, concealing her achievements and fame.
Wu Shishi's postpartum period has finally passed without any major incidents.
The first thing Wu Shishi did after finishing her postpartum confinement was rush into the bathroom and scrub her skin vigorously.
She felt like she was going to grow hair.
Yang Ziye's son was named Yang Xu by the old master himself.
I hope he will rise to great heights.
His nickname was originally supposed to be Gou Dan (Dog Egg), but Yang Ziye stopped him and changed it to a nicer one, Yuanbao (Original Treasure).
Xia Lan led Qin Youyou and Qin Mo to see the newborn baby, who was completely different from when he was born.
As the purplish-red color faded and the little Yuanbao's features gradually grew, he looked soft, cute, and adorable.
"This kid has a good eye for picky things, choosing Shishi's big eyes and Ziye's nose..."
"Why does she look like Shi Shi to me...?"
“I think he looks like Ziye. Look at his nose, they're exactly the same.”
"Ouch……"
When the elders get together, they like to talk about the children, from the smallest details like a single hair to the biggest things like facial features, appearance, and fingers...
They like to talk about anything that can be mentioned.
"Mom, you're right, he's grown up and become so cute!"
