Zhou Jing'an seemed a little hesitant to say it, but after some hesitation, he said, "Recently, I've noticed that the four little ones are becoming increasingly attached to you. You're still their mother, and if we're separated like this, they might be very sad..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ning Huan seemed to realize something and quickly said, "I understand."
She now understood what Zhou Jing'an meant. Wasn't he saying that the four little ones would be very uncomfortable being separated from her, so he wanted them to stay with her?
Is that what it means?
She was still thinking about how to bring up this matter with Zhou Jing'an, but unexpectedly, fate gave her a pleasant surprise. Zhou Jing'an actually took the initiative to ask the four little ones to follow her.
Ning Huan looked at Zhou Jing'an with delight and said, "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will be more attentive to teaching the four little ones in the future, and I will make them understand the importance of their father, and I will also make them love and be filial to you."
She won't let her four little ones follow her around and forget how good their father was.
Seeing Ning Huan so happy, Zhou Jing'an really hadn't expected her to be so pleased to hear that he wouldn't divorce her. It seemed that her previous statement about slowly letting go of her feelings for him wasn't entirely true.
But it's alright. As long as she can still take good care of the four little ones, I can try to get along with her in the future.
And so, even though Zhou Jing'an and Ning Huan were talking about and thinking about two different things, they inexplicably found themselves agreeing on the same thing.
Ning Huan couldn't help but laugh out loud when she made the beds for the four little ones.
The four little ones asked curiously, "Mommy, did something happy happen to you today?"
"Mother keeps laughing, what's wrong?"
Ning Huan shook her head. Of course, she couldn't tell the four little ones what she had just talked about with Zhou Jing'an. She just smiled and said, "If Mommy is happy, how about I cook something delicious for you tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, the four little ones didn't ask what was wrong and cheered, "Great! Mommy is going to make us something delicious!"
The next morning, Ning Huan got up early to prepare a meal for the four little dumplings. When Fan Juan came over, Ning Huan was just about to put the pearl dumplings in the pot to steam.
"These four little dumplings are so delicious, even Yang Xiaoshu and Xiaotao love them. You should bring some back for your two kids to try my cooking later."
Because the four little ones love to eat, Ning Huan will also share some with Yang Xiaoshu and Xiao Taozi next door. They are all good friends of the four little ones, so Ning Huan will always make more than usual.
Fan Juan said somewhat embarrassedly, "This was made by you for the little ones, sister-in-law, how could I take it away?"
Ning Huan said with a smile, "It's for them, and also for the children. Take it back and let the two girls try it. If they like it, I'll make it for them again next time."
Hearing Ning Huan say that, Fan Juan didn't refuse anymore. After all, her family wasn't well-off, and as a mother, she wanted her child to try such delicious food.
As they spent more time together, Fan Juan realized that Ning Huan was different from the rumors circulating in the village, and gradually became acquainted with her.
After the four little ones finished breakfast, the villagers gradually arrived. Since Ning Huan's house didn't have enough chairs, the villagers simply used the piles of weeds in the yard as benches and managed to sit down.
The villagers were all very happy because, thanks to Ning Huan, they were able to come and learn to identify medicinal herbs, and then go up the mountain to collect them and sell them for money. Otherwise, given their lowly status at home, they would never have had such an opportunity.
Besides these people, there were also many others who wanted to do something for their families but didn't have any skills. After the village chief spoke with Ning Huan, they were all invited to come over.
These people talked to Ning Huan and then went to visit Zhou Jing'an at his house.
"Jing'an, you look much better."
"Wow, Jing'an's leg looks so different after he went to town for treatment. It's getting better every day."
Besides Zhou Jing'an, they also noticed that the four little dumplings had changed. They had become cleaner and more polite, and the four white little dumplings were simply too adorable.
All of this is because of Ning Huan. Many villagers believe that Ning Huan's drastic change is due to her leaving Yao Shi. She suffered greatly at Yao Shi's hands while in her husband's family, which is why she became so shrewish and acted so recklessly.
Now that there's no wicked mother-in-law like Yao to bully her, look how capable and powerful Jing'an's wife is now. She's nothing like her before.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ning Huan called the villagers to the backyard to give a lesson. She didn't say much, but simply placed the prepared medicinal herbs on the table and said, "Starting today, I will teach you to recognize these herbs. After that, you can go to the nearby mountains to pick them and sell them."
She first picked up the most common red frost grass on Fog Mountain, held it up for everyone to see, and said: "This plant is called red frost grass. It is called red frost grass because its leaves are dark red and covered with white frost. It usually grows on the mountainside of Fog Mountain."
An auntie standing nearby pointed and said, "I saw this when I was chopping firewood on the mountain before. I thought it was just a red grass that grows on the mountain. I never expected it to be a medicinal herb that can be sold for money."
As soon as she finished speaking, many villagers around her echoed her sentiments. They often encountered the medicinal herbs Ning Huan mentioned on the mountain, but they didn't recognize them and thought they were just wild grasses.
"Then we'll pick these herbs whenever we see them in the future. They're all over the mountains, it's a simple job."
“I agree, these herbs are quite common in the mountains.”
Ning Huan then spoke up to remind everyone: "Although these herbs are common in the mountains, they are not very valuable. Pharmacies and clinics won't keep collecting them, so you don't need to collect all of them."
Upon hearing this, several villagers couldn't sit still and said, "Jing'an's wife, why don't you introduce some of the medicinal herbs we've seen before?"
"Exactly, if we just look at these worthless things, wouldn't it be a waste of our effort to collect them?"
Ning Huan didn't say much, but then brought up another type of medicinal herb: "This is Blood Lingzhi, which is very expensive. Because it's not common, it's a very rare medicinal herb."
Hearing this, many villagers became interested and craned their necks to hear what the blood lingzhi looked like.
Ning Huan didn't take the Blood Spirit Mushroom because it was an expensive herb, and if she took it out, some villagers might cause trouble. So she simply described what the spirit mushroom looked like.
