After the third day of the wedding, Mu Yi'an and the others returned to the old house, while Jiang Shuyun was about to return to the academy. It was a kind of farewell gathering before she left.

Mu Yi'an and the others arrived first and, since they weren't staying overnight, didn't go back to their own house.

"Shuyun, when are you going back to the academy?"

Jiang's father's top priority right now is Jiang Shuyun's provincial examination.

"Father, I'm leaving tomorrow. I might come back a few times before the provincial examination."

"Okay, as long as you have your own plan in mind."

Knowing that Jiang Shuyun had made all the arrangements herself, Jiang's father was no longer worried.

Shuheng has already gone to the county school, and Shuyun brought him some books, all of which have annotations.

"Father, Mother, we're back."

Jiang Lan and her husband also came in, with maids and servants carrying things in their hands.

"Zilin and Lanlan are back. Come in quickly. Lanlan is going to visit your mother and sisters-in-law, and Zilin is here to discuss some academic matters with us."

"I understand, my husband, I'm going in now."

Jiang Lan entered the room gently, accompanied by her maids and servants.

"Mother, are we not late?"

"No, your sister hasn't come back yet."

Inside the house, Jiang's mother and her three daughters-in-law were discussing whether Jiang Qi would get used to living with her husband's family.

"Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law."

Although Jiang Lan was angry, she felt that her second sister-in-law had prepared so much dowry for her older sister but only added to her own dowry, which meant she looked down on her.

However, at her in-laws' house, they subtly advised her to cultivate a good relationship with her second brother and sister-in-law. Especially her second brother, who was taking the provincial examination this year and had a very good chance of passing.

Bailu Academy, that's a place that countless students dream of.

Jiang Lan may not understand much else, but she does understand this: her in-laws value her second brother highly, and that is her source of confidence in her husband's family.

Mu Yi'an smiled but didn't say anything. Some things are justified simply because they exist.

She could also understand Jiang Lan's change; the Zhou family would teach her how to treat her family and its affairs.

"Young lady, I see you've changed your outfit again. How much money did this cost?"

Jiang Da Sao only had eyes for the new gold hairpin in Jiang Lan's hair and the new clothes she was wearing; she couldn't think of anything else.

Indeed, Jiang Da Sao was born, grew up, married, and had children in Jiangjia Village. There were some things that she could never have imagined or understood.

Li Qiuniang didn't know much either, but she had one advantage over Jiang Dasao: she wasn't envious of what others had.

"Grandma is back, the carriage is at the door."

Aunt Fang came in to announce their arrival, and Mu Yi'an quickly went out to greet her. She hadn't seen her for several days, and she still felt a little worried.

"Second sister-in-law..."

When Jiang Qi saw her second sister-in-law, a feeling of happiness, helplessness, and shyness welled up inside her, and her eyes reddened slightly.

"Let's go inside, Mother is waiting."

Jiang Qi's face showed no disappointment or pain, but rather a relaxed and carefree expression.

Mu Yi'an's worries did not come true; she was afraid that their previous marriage would lead to disharmony in their married life.

A crowd escorted the newlyweds into the house, with Mr. and Mrs. Jiang taking the main seats. The newlyweds paid their respects to their parents.

After the families recognized each other, Jiang's father took his son and son-in-law to the study, while Jiang's mother took her daughter-in-law and daughter to chat.

"Qiqi, are you settling in well at your in-laws' house?"

"Mother, it's alright. Anran is very well-behaved, and my husband is easy to get along with. It's just that he has just taken over the family affairs and is a little clueless."

"Has your son-in-law entrusted all the household affairs to you?"

"Well, it was handed over to me on the second day of the wedding. I was thinking of asking my second sister-in-law for advice. Although I had learned some things before, I was still a bit flustered when I actually started doing it."

Jiang Qi hadn't expected to be in charge so quickly; she was caught off guard.

"Then you should ask your second sister-in-law; she's the one in the family who knows the most."

Mu Yi'an was also happy for Jiang Qi; at least, it was a good start. Doctor Chu might not completely trust Jiang Qi, but he trusted her most of the time.

"It's not difficult. If you can read account books, keep separate accounts for the home and outside, and you'll get the hang of it gradually."

"I know, I'm just afraid of making a mistake."

To be frank, Jiang Qi was still somewhat insecure.

"What does it matter if I'm wrong? It's not a matter of life or death."

Jiang Qi, you can do it. I know you understand.

"I know, Second Sister-in-law, I can do it."

Looking into her second sister-in-law's eyes, Jiang Qi suddenly felt that she could do it, she definitely could.

The interaction between the two sisters-in-law aroused various thoughts among the others in the room.

Sister-in-law Jiang thought the two of them were being too dramatic. They were in charge of their own household, so what couldn't they do well?

Jiang Lan looked on with envy, wondering when she would be able to take charge of her own life.

Li Qiuniang is the most magnanimous. She controls the family's money, but she has no say in many things and relies on hearsay.

Jiang's mother was relieved; her eldest daughter had finally found a good family and met a good person.

After Jiang Qi's homecoming banquet, Jiang Shuyun left home again. There were still more than half a year left, so he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Spring has arrived, and things are getting busy again on the farm.

This year, Mu Yi'an hired two more farmhands from the village, one from the Jiang family and one from the Wang family.

Last year, her family gave her 100 mu of land as part of her dowry. This year, she plans to plant watermelons on the land. Mu Yi'an plans to plant half cantaloupes and half watermelons on the farm.

The main problem is the limited supply of cantaloupe seeds. Last year, some were planted in the yard, and Mu Yi'an selected the better varieties to keep for seed, which was barely enough for a little over 100 acres of land.

With the example of watermelons, cantaloupe seedling cultivation becomes much easier.

During the seedling stage, temporary workers needed were found from nearby villages.

Mu Yi'an went to the estate almost every other day until all the melon seedlings were planted, and only then could Mu Yi'an relax.
