Last but not least, if all else fails, there's still me and the Taoist priest, right? Plus Han Qi, the three of us can go hunting in the mountains. A winter hunt can earn us a lot of silver, enough to cover our expenses for at least a year.

"Of course our shop will definitely open. With such a convenient location, it's impossible for it not to have customers."

After being comforted by Lu Chuan, Xu Han's unease vanished instantly.

He thought to himself, "That's right, I still have so many options, so what is there to be anxious about?"

Alternatively, the produce from the mountains alone can earn a considerable amount of money, more than enough for daily expenses.

As long as you don't work yourself to death, the rent from the shop and the produce from the mountains will be enough to make a good living for your family.

While not incredibly wealthy, it's enough to live comfortably; being a small landowner like this is quite nice.

But having been a corporate slave in his previous life and having experienced disasters in this one, he always feels anxious because he has no money or food.

Looking at the person in his arms, whose expression kept changing like a color palette, sometimes smiling and sometimes frowning, Lu Chuan knew what she was thinking.

When two people have spent a lot of time together, they can guess what the other is thinking with just a glance or a gesture.

"Don't worry, the years of disaster and chaos are over."

"Good days are ahead. If you're still worried, we can store all the grain we grow from now on, exchanging the old grain for new grain each year. That way, we won't have to worry about natural disasters like this."

Xu Han, nestled in Lu Chuan's arms, nodded and tightened her grip on him.

"Well, after experiencing so much disaster for so long, I'm a little scared."

However, now that we have a large group and don't need to pay taxes in the mountains, whatever we collect, it's all ours, which gives me more confidence.

Next year, let them clear more wasteland and cultivate more land. Let's strive to fill the granaries with grain.

Lu Chuan chuckled, "Alright, alright, whatever you say. It's getting late, let's go to bed early! We still need to get up early tomorrow to tidy up the shop. We only have a few days left before we open, so we'll be busy these next few days."

Sweeping away her earlier mood, Xu Han wrapped herself in the soft, sun-dried quilt, feeling the warm warmth of the heated floor in the room, and smiled even more happily.

"I have to say, rich people really know how to enjoy life. This house is so warm, I can't feel the winter chill at all. I don't even want to go back."

Seeing that Xu Han had returned to her usual self, Lu Chuan smiled along with her, "If you like, we can stay here for a few more days, or we can stay in the county town during the winter."

Upon hearing this, Xu Han immediately shook her head like a rattle drum, "No, although it's warm here, I still prefer my home in the mountains."

Every brick and tile there was built together by us. Our children are all there. The mountains feel more like home, warmer, and happier.

"Hahaha, I knew you'd say that."

The two played around for a while longer, and then the warm room gradually fell silent.

Looking at his sleeping wife, Lu Chuan secretly made up his mind that he must work hard to earn money so that she would never feel insecure because of a lack of money again...

The next day, Xu Han woke up naturally. She touched the blankets beside her and found they were already cold, so Lu Chuan must have been up for a while.

Hearing the sound, Juxiang came in and said, "Madam, you're awake. I've already sent someone to fetch hot water. Please wash up and have breakfast first."

After saying that, he picked up the clothes that had been prepared and prepared to help Xu Han get dressed.

Xu Han was clearly still a little unaccustomed to such meticulous service, but then she thought, what is the purpose of earning money? Isn't it to eat well, dress well, and have someone to serve you?

Otherwise, what's the point of working yourself to the bone? You can't let someone else benefit in the end!

After figuring it out, she went along with Juxiang's actions and let him serve her.

But before that, Xu Han didn't forget to say, "You don't need to serve me personally in the future. Remember that you have a higher value. When you go back this time, you should take good care of those little girls. Let them handle these small things."

And it's not like I can't do anything. You just need to prepare the things, and from now on, you can take care of things like getting dressed yourself.

I don't want to become a useless piece of trash who can't do anything after a while.

Xu Han said this in a playful tone, as if she were joking.

Juxiang, who was standing nearby, smiled and quickly replied, "Yes, Madam, I've remembered."

After getting dressed, Xu Han washed her face and said, "Oh, and also, when our family is together in the future, try not to stay inside. Just wait outside. I'll call you if needed."

Just be at home, and the same goes for coming here. Don't be too reserved.

There's no need to pamper the two young masters too much; boys need to be trained more.

We can't let him grow up to be a playboy who knows nothing about farming, is lazy, and only knows how to eat, drink, and be merry.

Juxiang was both amused and exasperated when she saw her mistress's unusual way of raising the two young masters and the look of disgust on her face.

However, he didn't dare to show it too much on his face, after all, he hadn't been with the madam for very long, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. "I understand, madam, I will remind them more in the future."

Seeing that Juxiang had agreed to everything, Xu Han then remembered to ask, "Where is Master? Why isn't he here?"

Juxiang replied, "Master went out with Han Qi early this morning, saying he was going to buy some snacks for Madam."

When Xu Han heard that it was the two of them together again, she thought to herself, "Lu Chuan adapts faster. During this period, he has completely treated Han Qi as his servant. The two of them are almost inseparable."

Han Qi took care of everything for Lu Chuan except for his food, clothing, and lodging.

Thinking to themselves, now that they both had their own personal servants, shouldn't they start making arrangements for the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao as well?

As for the two sons, they were not even considered, and the idea of ​​providing them with servants or pageboys was completely out of the question.

Their food, clothing, and shelter are all taken care of now. When they wake up, someone prepares hot water for them to wash up, and they don't need to wash their clothes. They are already very happy.

Xu Han didn't want to give any more. When it came to raising children, Xu Han always adhered to the principle of raising daughters with plenty and sons with hardship.

If I had a daughter, I'd talk about it later. I don't have one now, so why think about it so much?

Just as Xu Han was thinking about it, Lu Chuan returned with the pastries.

"Honey, I bought you your favorite pastries and some porridge from outside. Come and try them."

Upon hearing this, Xu Han immediately went outside. Because she wanted to make it easier to work, she wasn't wearing a skirt yet, which made walking around quite comfortable.

The people below were dressed mostly in ordinary clothes, but the fabric was different from Xu Han's and theirs, and was noticeably of lower quality.
