Xie Yiyue was very happy to see that Lin Yan had finished drinking the water.

She felt so awesome!

Not only did she complete the task her grandmother had assigned, but her second aunt would never have trouble sleeping again.

Seeing Xie Yiyue staring at her, Lin Yan chuckled softly, bent down to stroke her head, and asked gently:

Why is Xiaoyue staring at me?

"Did Second Aunt sleep well last night?"

"You slept very well. What's wrong? Did Xiaoyue not sleep well?"

Upon hearing her answer, Xie Yiyue pouted, her little face almost scrunched up.

She didn't understand.

My second aunt slept very well at night, so why did my grandmother say that she didn't sleep well and even wanted to give her medicine?

Unfortunately, Xie Yiyue's brain has too small a capacity.

Even if she racked her brains, she still couldn't figure out why.

Seeing her pretentious, worried expression, Lin Yan gently touched her little face and playfully teased her:

"Little children shouldn't frown! Otherwise they'll turn into little old ladies!"

Xie Yiyue was indeed frightened.

She slapped her forehead, trying to smooth out her wrinkled little face, and nodded her head repeatedly.

"Second Aunt, I won't wrinkle anymore, I won't wrinkle anymore!"

Lin Yan chuckled and pulled her to fetch water to wash her hands and face.

"Let's go wash our hands and get ready for lunch."

...

After lunch.

Whether it was because she was too tired from the snowball fight or because she ate too much, Lin Yan suddenly felt a little sleepy.

She yawned, quickly washed up, and climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) to take a nap.

As soon as Xie Yiyue entered the room, Madam Xie rushed over and hurriedly pulled her aside, her voice filled with anxiety.

"Moon, how is it? Did your second aunt drink that packet of stuff?"

Xie Yiyue was very proud after completing the task. She raised her head high and looked at her grandmother with a look of seeking praise.

"Grandma, Second Aunt has drunk it all!"

Suddenly, she remembered what Lin Yan had said, and her little face filled with confusion as she asked curiously:

"But Grandmother, Second Aunt said she slept very well last night, so why do you say she didn't sleep well?"

Madam Xie paused, bent down, lowered her voice, and spoke to Xie Yiyue above her head in a tone that was half-seductive and half-threatening:

"Your second aunt lied to you out of kindness, so you wouldn't worry. Remember, you can't tell anyone about what happened today, understand? Otherwise, something might happen to Grandma!"

Xie Yiyue immediately covered her mouth with both hands and nodded fearfully.

The whole afternoon.

Madam Xie was waiting for the main house to make a move.

When the master handed her the medicine, he said that it would take a while to take effect and that she should not be impatient.

How could she not be anxious?

It is past mid-Shen Shi (3-5 PM).

Lin Yan, who had taken a nap for a full hour and a half, slowly woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a handsome young man waiting by the kang (a heated brick bed).

Instantly, her slight morning grumpiness vanished.

Upon seeing Lin Yan wake up, Xie Muqing's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, and he immediately handed her a cup of warm tea that had been kept warm.

His face showed genuine concern.

"Why is my wife sleeping much longer than usual this afternoon?"

Lin Yan naturally accepted the warm tea from Xie Muqing.

After drinking a cup of warm tea, her confused mind cleared up considerably.

His reminder helped.

She also started to find it strange.

Normally, she only naps for less than half an hour at most before waking up, but today she slept for so long before waking up...

Lin Yan couldn't help but check her pulse.

Her pulse was beating normally and strongly, with nothing strange about it, and her suspicions were completely dispelled.

"I don't know either. I feel really tired. I checked my pulse, and everything is normal. You don't need to worry. It's probably just because it's your first time having a snowball fight and you're not used to it yet."

"It's good that my wife is alright."

After tidying herself up, Lin Yan took the red envelope she had prepared beforehand, left the room, and headed towards the construction site.

Because of the rush to complete the project.

Even though tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, the craftsmen are still working diligently today.

Looking at the current progress, Lin Yan estimated that it would be completed in at most half a month.

He was very satisfied.

Seeing that the craftsmen were engrossed in their work and hadn't noticed her, she coughed lightly to attract their attention before speaking loudly:

"Thank you all for your hard work! This is a New Year's red envelope I prepared for you all. I hope you all have a prosperous and joyful New Year!"

Touching the bulging red envelopes, the craftsmen felt flattered but also uneasy, and they all refused.

"This, Yan girl, you're too kind! You've paid us enough, we can't accept this red envelope!"

"Yes! We can't accept it!"

These craftsmen were all found by Lin Zhenghong. They were not only hardworking but also honest, so no one would hire them.

After much persuasion from Lin Yan, they finally accepted the red envelope.

After delivering the red envelopes to this place, Lin Yan went to the dormitory construction site and delivered the red envelopes there as well.

Two hundred coins per person.

She also gave fifty coins to each household that did not work.

A few days ago, she went to the money exchange and exchanged her silver for copper coins.

Including the red envelopes distributed to the workshop women yesterday, the twenty-odd taels of silver exchanged this time were all divided up.

...

The hour of Xu (7-9 PM).

Lin Yan started yawning right after finishing dinner, and ended up falling into a deep sleep while taking a bath in the bathroom.

Half an hour passed.
