The farce in Jiangjia Village has ended, but Mu Yi'an is still shaken.

Only today did she truly understand the power of ancient clans, a power beyond the comprehension of her modern, superficial understanding.

Previously, I thought that she could control her own money, and those who wanted to take advantage of her or make her a sucker were dreaming.

But today, she watched as her third grandfather, with just a few words and the clan rules, easily expelled someone from the clan. Hundreds of people, without a single objection, all accepted it.

She was truly grateful at that time that the Jiang family patriarch was a person of sound values ​​who held high hopes for Jiang Shuyun and protected her in every way. Otherwise, preserving their meager assets would not have been an easy task.

"Yi'an, what are you thinking about?"

On the way back to the city, Jiang Shuyun noticed that his wife was lost in thought.

"I've been thinking about what happened today. If it weren't for Third Grandfather's constant protection of you, it wouldn't have been easy for us to get out of this unscathed."

Jiang Shuyun understood what Yi'an meant: in ancient times, the power of the clan was often more useful than that of the government.

"Yes, let's remember the kindness of the clan and Third Grandfather, and do our best to help the clan in the future. It will also benefit us."

Jiang Shuyun was also shocked; their understanding of ancient clans was not deep enough.

"When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should help others. As long as we have the ability, it is only right that we help our clan."

Mu Yi'an was aware of her flaw: a certain obsession with money. However, she wasn't Scrooge. Frankly, she had simply lacked a sense of security after struggling alone for so long. In reality, her material needs weren't actually that high.

The carriage stopped; they had arrived home.

Zhao Wu was a very skilled driver, and the carriage moved very steadily.

The family entered the courtyard, where Aunt Fang and Aunt Li came out to greet them.

"Master, Madam, Aunt, the meal is ready."

"Okay, let's change our clothes and set the table first."

Mu Yi'an and the others had been out all day and were covered in dust, so they needed to wash up first.

Dinner was rather light, and afterwards the family took a stroll in the yard to digest.

"Shuyun, how many days can you stay at home this time?"

"We've just returned from our study tour after five days, and we still have some lessons to learn from the teacher. We students who went out should also write down our experiences and insights from the trip and share them with our classmates in the academy."

I've almost finished writing this part. After a few more careful revisions, it should be basically done. I'll spend the remaining days at home with you all. After this trip back, I'll try to come back every one or two months.

Jiang Shuyun touched Mu Yi'an's face; his skin was so beautiful. It was a pity she had been too unrestrained last night; Yi'an was exhausted, and she couldn't do anything else.

"Alright, you can arrange your own time. There's not much time left before the autumn examinations. I hope you can make it onto the list this time, so you won't have to work so hard."

Mu Yi'an knew how hard it was to study hard, especially since they had both experienced the college entrance examination before, and she didn't want to go through that sense of urgency a second time.

"I hope so. I don't want to be separated from you all all the time. I lived alone for decades in my past life and thought I was used to loneliness. I never expected that in just one year, I would be afraid of being alone."

"It's all the same, so we're not naturally cold-hearted people. It's just that for one reason or another, we've gotten used to being alone. It's okay, we'll live a lively life from now on. If nothing unexpected happens, at our age, we might even have three or four generations living together."

The two lay in bed, dreaming about the future, and fell asleep without realizing it.

The next day, Mu Yi'an took Jiang Shuyun to the family shop.

"Master, you've arrived."

Manager Tong, hired by Steward Li, saw Zhao Wu park his car at the door and knew that his master had arrived.

"I came over to take a look. It just so happens that the old man is back at home. I need to familiarize myself with the place."

Mu Yi'an introduced Jiang Shuyun to Manager Tong, letting him know that even the boss had powerful backers.

"Greetings, sir. This is Tong Qian."

"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Tong!"

Jiang Shuyun didn't know what to say. This was his first time meeting these people from Yi An, and the name of Manager Tong was indeed quite peculiar. He managed to hold back his laughter.

"Manager Tong, you go ahead with your work, we'll just wander around on our own."

Mu Yi'an and Jiang Shuyun walked into the shop side by side. Although it wasn't exactly a hidden gem, it was still different from some of the shops in the area.

"Yi'an, did you copy the supermarket from my previous life? It seems different."

Jiang Shuyun whispered to Mu Yi'an that in his previous life, he hadn't really browsed the vegetable or dried goods sections when he went to the supermarket.

"No, it's more like the grocery stores from my previous life, like small general supermarkets. They sell vegetables, fruits, dried goods, daily necessities, and so on. They're usually located at the entrance of residential areas."

Jiang Shuyun hadn't really noticed; there didn't seem to be a supermarket like that near the entrance of his residential complex.

"This is the vegetable section. Every morning, Jiangjia Village delivers freshly picked vegetables, which are neatly arranged in bunches. It's a pleasant sight to see."

This is the dried goods section, filled with homemade products from various households in Jiangjia Village: dried bamboo shoots, dried mushrooms, dried wild vegetables… That's the grains section over there, where everyone sells their surplus grains. There's also dried seafood; Steward Li found a way to get quite a bit of it…”

Mu Yi'an explained to Jiang Shuyun that the shop, which was over 100 square meters, actually had many empty spaces. These spaces would be gradually filled in as the pigs, sheep, and chicks on the farm grew up.

How's the customer traffic right now?

Jiang Shuyun looked at the few people in the shop and felt a little worried.
