Upon hearing Ning Huan's idea, Si Yan wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "Madam Ning's idea is indeed novel. If you can make money in the future, don't forget Renjitang."
Ning Huan nodded and thanked Si Yan: "I must thank Manager Si in advance for helping me find an empty shop for sale."
After agreeing, Si Yan thought that since Ning Huan had come to town to do business, she must be planning to stay there. So he asked, "Madam Ning, since you're doing business in town and need to look after your shop, shouldn't you also look after your house?"
“Otherwise, you can’t keep going back and forth between the town and the village, especially since you said the four little ones will come to town with you.”
Ning Huan was preoccupied with business matters and forgot about this incident. Zhou Jing'an also didn't tell Ning Huan that he had already asked Tao Fuyuan to help look after the house.
She nodded happily: "Then I'll trouble Manager Si to keep an eye out for me. I mainly value comfort and quietness for the residence, and I think the shop should be located in a location that isn't too remote."
Si Yan nodded: "Alright, I'll send someone to keep an eye out for it. Also, I'll send these Jade Complexion Cream and Jade Lotus Dew to Young Master Qi in the capital."
After leaving Si Yan, Ning Liang asked, "Sister, why are you suddenly going to town to do business and looking at houses? Are you planning to move to town with your husband?"
Ning Huan shook her head: "I moved to town because my four little ones have reached the age where they should be learning to read and write, and I need to send them to the academy in town. It's not because I moved here with your brother-in-law."
Ningliang nodded: "Studying is good, you have to study."
Then, as if he had thought of something, he lowered his head and remained silent.
It wasn't until Ning Huan handed him a whole bunch of things and made him carry them that he realized, "Sis, what are all these?"
Ning Huan pointed to each item and said, "These are all things I bought for my parents. It's almost Chinese New Year, so I bought them to take back to them. There are also some for you and Ning Xu, and some for your younger brother and sister-in-law as well."
There were many pastries and New Year's goods here, as well as a lot of dried fruits and sticky rice cakes. Since meat was getting more expensive as the New Year approached, Ning Huan was worried that Pang Shi would be reluctant to buy meat, so she bought several pieces of meat for Ning Liang to carry.
In addition to these, she also bought some firecrackers and several festive red lanterns.
Ning Liang smiled and said, "Sis, you've really bought everything for the New Year."
On the way back, some of the old women wanted to gossip about Zhou Dashan and Liu Feng's affair yesterday, but when they saw Ning Huan and her brother, they all lowered their voices and chatted.
Although she didn't want Ning Huan and the others to hear it, Ning Huan still vaguely heard some of it. Yao Shi had made a huge scene at home last night, saying she wanted to drive Liu Feng away. In a fit of anger, Zhou Dashan pushed Yao Shi, causing her to fall face-first into the dirt.
In short, the Zhou family is in complete chaos right now, it's incredibly lively.
After arriving home, Ning Huan told Zhou Jing'an about her plans to do business in town and asked Si Yan to help look after the shop and house there.
Zhou Jing'an wasn't surprised that Ning Huan was going to town to do business. This woman's abilities were definitely not limited to being a simple village woman. However, he told Ning Huan that he had already asked Tao Fuyuan to help look after the house.
Ning Huan replied without hesitation, "That's alright. We'll go and see the courtyards they've chosen, and then pick one that suits us."
Zhou Jing'an nodded: "Okay."
Although he wasn't surprised, the thought that Ning Huan would live with him in town in the future made him feel quite happy.
Since Ning Liang was going home the next day, the four little ones kept pestering him that night, wanting their uncle to play with them.
Ning Liang shook his head helplessly: "Okay, I'll go with you."
The four little ones were very interested in the firecrackers that he and Ning Huan had brought back, but Ning Huan solemnly reminded them not to touch them, and that the firecrackers could only be lit on New Year's Eve.
Hearing Ning Huan's words, even though the four little ones were very curious, they didn't dare to move.
To comfort them, Ning Liang cut out several beautiful pieces of paper for the four little ones. The four little ones said they would paste these paper cuttings on the window during the New Year.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Ning Liang got up to go home. Ning Huan prepared some dry food for him to eat on the way, and also took a few jars of Jade Complexion Cream and Jade Dew for Ning Liang to take back to Pang Shi.
When the four little ones woke up, they found that Ning Liang had already left, and they were all a little disappointed. To comfort them, Ning Huan specially made their favorite double-skin milk pudding, which made the little ones a little happier.
"Hey, what did these little ones eat that makes them so happy?"
Aunt Xiufen and Aunt Guihua walked in together from outside the door and asked the four little dumplings.
Because of Ning Huan's teachings on herbs, Aunt Xiufen and Aunt Guihua unexpectedly became close. The two often went up the mountain to collect herbs together, and now they even made plans to visit Ning Huan's house together.
Ning Huan smiled and said, "It's nothing. They were feeling down because my brother left, so I made them some treats to cheer them up."
But seeing that her two aunts had arrived early, Ning Huan was a little puzzled. Could it be that she had moved up the time for teaching herbal medicine yesterday?
Aunt Guihua quickly explained that the two of them were a little early because they didn't recognize some of the herbs.
Upon hearing this reason, Ning Huan hurriedly and enthusiastically explained the medicinal herbs that Aunt Xiufen and Aunt Guihua were not very familiar with.
Seeing Ning Huan teaching her to recognize herbs without holding a grudge, Aunt Guihua felt very guilty: "Jing'an's wife, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have always bothered you and argued with you about trivial things."
"But I didn't expect that you weren't angry with your aunt at all. Instead, you were even willing to teach me to identify herbs. I really don't know what to say."
Hearing Aunt Guihua's words, Ning Huan smiled faintly: "It's alright, Aunt. You don't need to blame yourself. I also did many bad things before."
And just like that, the feud between Ning Huan and Aunt Guihua was resolved.
Just as the villagers were arriving one after another, several voices came from the doorway: "Is the Divine Healer's wife home?"
"Is the female physician here?"
"She should be here. I heard she teaches the villagers at home every morning, so she must be home right now."
Ning Huan frowned upon hearing the sound, wanting to go out and see what was going on.
When the men who had been speaking saw Ning Huan come out, they quickly stepped forward and said, "Are you the female physician?"
“We’re all from your hometown village, so by seniority we’re your elders. We’re all feeling unwell right now, could you please come and take a look at us and see what’s wrong?”
