"I understand. From now on, we'll be in charge of our own affairs and manage ourselves."

Lin Wanru was now filled with the joy of being in charge of her own household and couldn't think about anything else.

"Being in charge of our own affairs means that we have to earn money to support ourselves. We have to arrange the expenses for Shaoqin School, Shao Ning's future studies in the county town, and the dowries for Chu Tong and Chu Qing ourselves."

We also need to be responsible for the family's farmland and the school's meals.

I will keep these tens of taels of silver, as well as the future income from the school. You should first learn to arrange the daily meals for the family and the daily expenses.

Also, I don't want you to treat your maternal family's nephews and nieces more seriously than your own children.

Your two sons have already started school, so you won't have to worry too much. As for your two daughters, you need to dedicate yourself to teaching them.

I don't expect them to marry into wealthy families. Women have learned what they need to learn and understand what they need to know. They can simply marry into a family of equal social standing with a small population and live their own quiet lives.

Jiang Shuheng spoke with utmost seriousness, and Lin Wanru's heart skipped a beat. She felt that if she didn't do these things well, Jiang Shuheng might do something terrible in the future...

Jiang Shuheng lost confidence in his wife, fearing that she might act impulsively and use all the family's possessions to support her family.

Taking charge of one's own affairs sounds simple, but in reality, who knows what the outcome would be? Jiang Shuheng lacked confidence not only in Lin Wanru but also in himself.

The next day, Jiang's father got up early and went for a walk in the fields outside the village to stretch his muscles.

Jiang's mother got up and took a stroll in the vegetable garden. Granny Xing had already started making breakfast.

Jiang's wife also got up; she needed to make breakfast for her family, and Chu Tong went into the kitchen to help.

Brother Jiang also got up and took Shao Ning and Chu Qing out for some activities in the yard. He saw that Shu Yun did the same thing, and Shao Yun and the others were all in good health and very close to him.

A new day begins, and no one knows what the future holds.

If you're willing to put in the effort, the result shouldn't be too bad.
