Han Yiyi had no idea that she was being taken advantage of. She carefully put the cumin into her basket before leading the group to continue their stroll.
After wandering around for a couple more times and buying two sets of clothes for Nangong Yuan, they took the three of them back.
Unbeknownst to Han Yiyi, a pair of sinister eyes were watching them the whole time they were strolling down the street.
Ever since those people were arrested and thrown into jail last time, Ye Qian'an knew that Han Yiyi had connections with Yunlai Restaurant, so he has been making trouble for Han Yiyi without hesitation.
Not only did he not dare to, but he also instructed Ye Cuihua not to provoke Han Yiyi during this period, lest she tell Fan Ting about the two of them in a fit of anger.
Although they didn't know why Han Yiyi hadn't revealed their relationship, in their eyes, if Han Yiyi knew about it, she would be a potential threat.
As long as Han Yiyi, a potential threat, was not eliminated, Ye Qian'an would not be at ease day or night. Therefore, he had not been idle during this period, but had been secretly searching for assassins.
In Ye Qian'an's view, those government yamen runners were fine for dealing with the ordinary bandits and hooligans, but they were no match for the assassins from the martial arts world.
But how could he easily find those assassins in the martial arts world? Now, so much time has passed, and he has spent a lot of money, before he has finally made some progress.
Watching the departing figures, Ye Qian'an's eyes were filled with malice as she muttered, "You can't blame me for this. Blame your bad luck for finding out things you shouldn't have..."
As soon as Han Yiyi got home, she wrote down the recipe for barbecue seasoning. She thought that when Manager Tong came to pick up barbecue seasoning next time, she would ask him if he wanted to buy the recipe. Once she sold the recipe, she would feel at ease and could focus on her chili pepper business. Or she could think about what she could exchange for from the system to grow.
Han Yiyi wasn't short of money right now, so she didn't want to take any more risks. After all, she still felt guilty about taking things directly from the system to sell. As for the seeds, that was much easier to explain. She could just say she found them in the back mountain; something that genuinely grew from the ground wouldn't raise any suspicions.
When Han Yi woke up in the morning, she saw Nangong Yuan arguing fiercely with the two little ones over a piece of pastry, and she was speechless with exasperation.
She checked him over and found that the bump on his head from the fall had completely disappeared, but why did he still look like a rich man's silly son?
There are also two little ones who are almost four years old now. If this were modern times, they would be of kindergarten age.
Thinking of this, Han Yiyi became worried again. There was no school in Zhushan Village, and it was not realistic to send her to the town. She didn't know how to teach either. It seemed that she could only hire a teacher to come to her home to teach her. However, there was no rush. After all, children in this area usually start their education at the age of five or six.
Headache from the noise of the three, Han Yiyi finished breakfast and went back to her room, thinking of looking in the system to see what seeds were suitable for planting at this time. But before she could open the system, she heard Nangong Yuan's deep and magnetic voice.
"Mom, someone is knocking on the door. My younger brother and sister have already gone to open it. Come out and see..."
Hearing this person call her "mother" in that voice, and seeing his cold, stern face with a pair of innocent, ignorant eyes, Han Yiyi felt a sense of disorientation...
Han Yiyi no longer wanted to remind him that she wasn't his mother, because every time she said it, Nangong Yuan would think that she didn't want him anymore, and he would look at her with pitiful eyes, as if he thought he had been abandoned. Han Yiyi really couldn't stand that look, so she just let him call her that, since she wouldn't lose anything anyway.
When Han Yiyi came out of the room, she saw the two little ones peeking out through the crack in the door. She didn't open the door. She thought to herself, "It seems that what I taught them before, not to open the door for strangers, is still effective."
"Zicheng and Zihui, is your mother home? Your uncle is here to get barbecue seasoning. Go and ask your mother to open the door..."
Upon hearing the voice, Han Yiyi knew it was Manager Tong, but she found it strange that he was here so early today.
"They've arrived."
Han Yiyi responded and quickly stepped forward to open the door. However, the first thing she saw upon opening the door was a man's gentle and refined face.
At that moment, a phrase suddenly flashed through Han Yiyi's mind: "A gentleman is like jade, unparalleled in the world." Therefore, she was a little stunned. However, the next moment, Manager Tong's head popped out from behind the man, looking at Han Yiyi with a big smile. Of course, behind Manager Tong was Manager Liu, who was full of curiosity.
“Sister Han, excuse us, we’re here to pick up some barbecue ingredients. This is our young master, who wanted to come and see the chili peppers you grow…”
Han Yi didn't notice that Manager Tong had changed how he addressed her, and hurriedly smiled as she welcomed the group into the living room.
Not to mention Han Yiyi was a little stunned when she saw Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao was also taken aback when he saw Han Yiyi. He had always heard Manager Tong call her Madam Han, so Yun Xiao thought that Han Yiyi must be a woman around thirty years old. Now that he saw her, although she was not a young girl, she was definitely not a woman.
Yun Xiao and Steward Liu were quite curious when they saw Han Yiyi's residence. They never expected that such a remote mountain village would have such a place to live.
Entering this hall now feels even more novel, as if one has entered a unique paradise. The hall is simply yet elegantly decorated, especially the bunch of wildflowers on the tea table, which gives one a sense of tranquility and serenity. From the decoration of the hall, one can tell that the woman in front of them is not an ordinary farm woman.
Yun Xiao couldn't help but look Han Yiyi up and down again.
Han Yi first invited the three of them to sit down, then turned around to pour them tea.
Yun Xiao picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and then asked.
"I wonder where the chili peppers that you sent to Yunlai Restaurant were grown? May I go and take a look...?"
“Young Master, Sister Han already has children, so it’s not appropriate to call her ‘Miss’ anymore…”
Before Han Yiyi could reply to Yun Xiao's words, Manager Tong interrupted her, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.
At this moment, Yun Xiao glanced at Shopkeeper Tong and thought to himself, "Thank you so much for reminding me..."
Actually, Yun Xiao knew from Manager Tong that Han Yiyi had been married before, but looking at those clear eyes, he somehow blurted out that she was a girl.
Then he coughed lightly, looked at Han Yiyi apologetically, and then spoke.
“Hello, Madam Han, I apologize! It was my oversight. It’s just that Madam Han’s appearance doesn’t really look like that of a married woman, so… I was being presumptuous. I hope Madam Han won’t mind…”
