"Let's take advantage of the good weather and let it dry in the sun. Then we can peel off the husks, boil it into a paste, and use it together with the wood ash and cement for a stronger bond."

"Okay! Auntie, I still need to get some stools and go visit my third aunt, so I'll have to talk to you later."

"Um!"

At Chi Sanbao's house, Shen Yejun, dressed in a red wedding gown, was unbearably hot.

Just before she felt like she was about to faint from the heat, she finally heard footsteps outside the door.

Chi Mu held a bowl of brown sugar and eggs in his hands. He placed the eggs on the table and then lifted the red veil.

When he noticed that Shen Yejun's expression was off, he quickly found a palm-leaf fan and fanned her a few times.

Once she felt a little better, she hurriedly went out to fetch water.

Shen Yejun looked around the new house. Everything inside was old, and he felt a little lost.

Yes, this marriage was arranged hastily, and even if we need to prepare furniture, it will take time.

Right now, Carpenter He is extremely busy. The Zhong family is making a big investment, so Carpenter He is working for them.

However, if her new house is like this, then Zhong Yufeng's house should be the same, right?

Shen Yejun didn't know what his own mindset was either.

Whenever she thought of Zhong Yufeng, the daughter of a landlord, whose husband's family was of similar means to her own, her heart felt inexplicably at peace.

Even though she knew that the other person's condition was only temporary.

But marrying Ikegi was her choice, so she doesn't regret it.

Next, she needs to spend more time with her aunt and try to get a better relationship with her than with Shen Yejun!

A few days ago, she managed to exchange a piece of silk from Zhong Yufeng.

She has now turned it into a baby bib.

As the weather gets hotter, tomorrow when the bride meets her relatives, she will give this bellyband to her little cousin Zhuangzhuang. I think her aunt will like it.

Otherwise, if it's too hot and the child's clothes aren't breathable, they're prone to getting prickly heat.

I wonder what Zhong Yufeng will give? She has a lot of nice things, so it will probably be something valuable.

Well, it seems she still needs to maintain a good relationship with Zhong Yufeng.

Although they are not blood sisters-in-law, they are still cousins, aren't they?

Once the relationship is established, Zhong Yufeng will definitely help her if she needs any assistance, given her personality.

Well, next, we should add Zhong Yufeng to our list of people we've been on good terms with.

She was the daughter of a landlord, and she had no shortage of food. But the Shen family lacked everything.

If she could get some money from Zhong Yufeng to send back to her parents' home, she thought her husband's family wouldn't have any objections!

While Shen Yejun was thinking about these things, Chi Mu had already brought in a basin of water.

"Xiao Jun, come here and wash your face."

Shen Yejun snapped out of his daze, saw the wet cloth that Chi Mu handed him, and took it to wipe his face.

After repeating this several times, when the heat subsided, he said:

"Husband, are we going to my aunt's house for dinner later?"

Should I change my clothes?

Where are my parents? Have they passed away?

And what about my second brother? Did he go to pick up his father-in-law's family?

Should we go and invite my parents, or should we ask someone from the old house to go and ask them?

Upon hearing the term "husband," Chi Mu immediately felt elated.

The wives of the women in Chijia'ao call their husbands either "the head of the household" or by their given name.

This is the first time someone has called someone "husband" like Shen Yejun.

This made him realize that Shen Yejun truly deserved to be the scholar's sister.

He even refers to himself differently from others!

However, despite his arrogance, he still retained his rationality.
