"Haha, then we're going to have a good drink today."

Ze'er, from the atmosphere-building group, picked up her glass and, mimicking her mother, said, "Cheers!"

The others were very obliging, raising their glasses and clinking them together. Everyone enjoyed the lunch, and Mu'er even declared that she wanted to drink pomegranate juice that evening, to which Xu Han good-naturedly agreed.

After waking up from her afternoon nap, Han planned to go to the fields to check on things. She had been busy with other things these past two days and hadn't paid attention to the situation in the fields. Since she had nothing else to do this afternoon, she decided to take this opportunity to go to the fields and see how they were turning the soil.

As soon as Xu Han stepped out of the courtyard, she noticed that the vegetable garden next to her had been turned over again and was now planted with autumn vegetables, including radishes, cabbages and all sorts of other vegetables.

Seeing Zhou Shi in the vegetable garden, Xu Han asked, "How is it? Have you finished planting all the vegetables for winter?"

Madam Zhou straightened up and replied, "Madam, we've planted a lot of new cabbage, radishes, and garlic these past few days. Now I'm planting some green vegetables for winter. These are the seeds you gave me a couple of days ago. I don't know what they are, so I planted some of each separately."

Xu Han gave Zhou Shi vegetable seeds from her previous life, including lettuce, romaine lettuce, garland chrysanthemum, and bok choy, all of which were seeds that Xu Han had saved herself in recent years.

Xu Han said, "I'm giving you vegetables. When it gets cold and snows, just cover them with an oilcloth and you can eat them until next spring. I have a lot of vegetable seeds. When your vegetable gardens open up, you can take some back and plant them too. It's good to keep them for next spring."

Zhou nodded and said, "My eldest daughter-in-law and eldest son are clearing a vegetable garden near our home. It will be finished in a couple of days. We have a lot of cabbage seedlings this year, and there are still quite a few left in the garden. We can plant them as soon as the garden is cleared."

Upon hearing this, Xu Han became interested and said, "You plant it first, I'll go take a look."

After she finished speaking, she started walking towards the valley. When she passed by the field, she saw Zhu Qiang and the others turning the soil. They were almost finished, so she didn't ask any questions and walked straight towards the valley.

Upon reaching this side of the valley, they indeed saw Zhu Chunfeng and Zhu Chunsheng leading their wives in clearing land. Granny Ma, Granny Zhao, Dan Niang, and several young girls were all helping in the fields.

Xu Han looked at the location where they were clearing land, which was right next to the house. When they enclosed the yard, it wouldn't interfere with planting vegetables or get in the way. This place was really well chosen.

The group cleared the land very quickly. In just one day, they had already cleared a large area. With so many people, they should be able to clear the entire area in less than two days.

Sister-in-law Li was the first to see Xu Han and said, "Madam, we're currently tending to our vegetable garden. We're planning to expand it and grow a wider variety of vegetables."

"Okay, it's better to open the menu wider so we can order more dishes. If there are too many of you, it won't be enough to eat."

After saying that, he turned to Zhu Chunfeng and said, "I see there's still a lot of manure over there. Take some people and fetch some back later. Newly cleared land needs plenty of manure, otherwise the soil won't be strong and the vegetables won't grow well."

Zhu Chunfeng replied, "Yes, Madam, don't worry, I'll be there in a bit."

Xu Han looked down at Zhang Shi, who was working. She was Zhu Chunsheng's wife, the second daughter-in-law of the Zhu family. She was a woman of few words, but she was very hardworking and had excellent eyesight.

Xu Han rarely saw him speak; she usually listened quietly to others. She was a completely different person from Zhu's eldest daughter-in-law, making it easy for people to overlook her presence.

Xu Han suddenly remembered that she had heard Granny Zhao and the others say during a casual chat that Zhang Shi had been mistreated by her stepmother when she was young, which left her with a chronic illness and made it difficult for her to conceive now.

Zhang's background is also heartbreaking. Her biological mother died early, and after her father remarried, her stepmother treated her very badly, either beating and scolding her or not giving her food. Later, she was even sold off.

His own father didn't care about this at all; on the contrary, he agreed to sell Zhang Shi, as it would bring in a considerable sum of money. Zhang Shi's background was indeed quite pitiful.

But speaking of pitiful backgrounds, how many of those who sold themselves into slavery actually had good backgrounds? If they had loved and cared for by their parents, they wouldn't have been sold.

Fortunately, Zhang met a very good husband. They had been married for two or three years, and Zhu Chunsheng never beat or scolded her because she had not given birth. On the contrary, their relationship was very good.

As for her parents-in-law, Zhu Qiang and Zhou Shi, they never mistreated or abused their second daughter-in-law because she could not have children. To be fair, Zhang Shi was very lucky to have such a good husband's family in this era.

However, Zhang often felt guilty because her health condition had prevented her husband from having children for so many years. She always felt indebted to the Zhu family and to her husband.

Therefore, she has always kept a low profile and never dared to speak out easily. Her family members were also aware of Zhang's situation, and Zhou and Li, being women themselves, paid special attention to her emotions.

The whole family worked tirelessly to save money, hoping that one day they could take Zhang to a doctor and get her properly cared for.

Xu Han had heard about this from Granny Ma a few days ago. At that time, Xu Han was thinking of asking Grandpa Zhao to examine Zhang Shi's pulse to see what was wrong, but she didn't have time because she was busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival. She only remembered it when she saw Zhang Shi now.

So Xu Han said, "Mrs. Zhang, I heard that you are not in good health. It just so happens that Grandpa Zhao is a miracle doctor. If you have time this evening, go to the old house and let Grandpa Zhao take your pulse."

Zhang was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and Zhu Chunsheng, who was standing next to her, was also dumbfounded. Finally, it was Granny Zhao who reminded them, "What's wrong? You two are so happy, why don't you quickly thank Madam?"

Seeing this, the two finally came to their senses. Overjoyed, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Han, saying, "Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Madam."

Xu Han stepped aside to avoid them, then pulled the two of them up and said, "Don't thank me yet. We'll have to wait until Grandpa Zhao finishes taking your pulse before we talk about it."

Zhu Chunsheng said, "Madam, we believe you. Since you say that Grandpa Zhao is a miracle doctor, then his medical skills must be excellent. If Grandpa Zhao says that my wife will never be able to get pregnant in this lifetime, then we will give up on that idea. At least we won't keep seeking medical treatment and wasting money."

Xu Han said, "Grandpa Zhao's medical skills are beyond question, absolutely amazing. He used to treat wealthy families in the capital, and he has a great reputation. I don't know the specifics, so we'll have to see what Grandpa Zhao has to say."

The two expressed their understanding, and the whole family thanked them profusely. In the end, Xu Han couldn't take it anymore and quickly slipped home.
