Madam Mu waited for her, watching her rushing around, feeling helpless yet doting: "Why are you in such a hurry? I won't run away."
"Sister Lan, have you found out about the Fang family?" Tang Li asked.
"So you are concerned about the Fang family's affairs, and not in a hurry to see me? It seems I was too sentimental." Mrs. Mu looked sad.
Tang Li quickly explained: "Sister, doesn't the Fang family's success or failure affect Erbao? That's why I'm worried."
Mrs. Mu was just teasing her, but when she saw that she was anxious, she stopped teasing her and started laughing.
"I did find out something. Sit down first and tell me slowly."
Tangli sat down opposite Madam Mu, and Wei Qing sat next to Tangli, holding Sanbao.
"The Fang family has a big business and is one of the major rice merchants in Qinzhou City. The Fang family has a good family tradition. Wasn't there a drought a few years ago? The Fang family donated a lot of grain. Fang Jie is Mr. Fang's eldest son. He did lose a son a few years ago and has been looking for him ever since."
"The head of the Fang family now is Old Man Fang, Fang Jie's father. Fang Jie also has a younger brother, and the relationship between the two brothers is not very good." Mrs. Mu said.
"Does Fang Jie have other children?" Tang Li asked.
"Both daughters are older than Erbao," Madam Mu said. "My brother has business dealings with Fang Jie, and he says he's a nice guy. My sister-in-law has met Tang a few times, though they're not very familiar with each other. However, Tang has a good personality and treats both daughters very well. And there's another thing: Erbao and the daughter of the Fang family's second wife were born on the same day. This coincidence has spread quite widely, and even my sister-in-law knows about it."
The Fang family was in good shape. The Fang family had a good family tradition, and Tang was gentle, so she had no complaints.
Tang Li originally thought that if the Fang family was not good, then she would have a reason not to return Erbao to the Fang family.
Now, even that excuse is gone.
It depends on what Erbao thinks.
The family of three left the Mu family and went to the college together to pick up Erbao after school.
Thanks to the care of Dabao and Xu Jue, Erbao adapted to life in the college very quickly.
It's just reading every day, which is a bit boring. What the teachers say is not as interesting as what the storytellers say, but I can persist in doing so in order to become a knowledgeable knight.
When Erbao came out, he was so happy to see his parents and sister were all there. The four of them held hands and went home happily.
Fang Jie was the owner of several shops and had a lot of things to do in Qinzhou City. After staying in Yaoshui Town for more than half a month, he had a lot of things to do and could not stay any longer, so he took Tang back to Qinzhou City.
As soon as Fang Jie and Tang left, Tang Li actually breathed a sigh of relief.
For the time being, no one will come to compete with her for the second baby.
The next day.
Wei Qing went to Hedong County, hoping to find a way to make money.
Tangli and Sanbao sent Erbao to the academy together, and then went to the street.
Tangli bought some things and went to see Wei Xiaotao.
When Tangli arrived, Wei Xiaotao was busy in the kitchen, and Tangli smelled a fragrance.
"Sister." Tangli called.
When Wei Xiaotao heard the call, she turned around, dragged her legs, and walked quickly to the door.
"Sister-in-law!"
During this period, Wei Xiaotao gained a lot of weight and looked much better.
After leaving the Kong family, she felt like she was reborn. She used to work numbly every day, but now she felt like she was truly alive and had some hope in life.
"Come on, why bring so many things with you? Go sit in your room." Wei Xiaotao said hurriedly.
He ran to pour water for Tangli.
"Zhao Di, go get some food for Sanbao." Wei Xiaotao said.
Zhaodi rummaged through the rice jar and pulled out several bags of the most expensive pastries. These were specially bought by her mother for Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao. She and Niandi were reluctant to eat them at all.
Zhaodi took the pastries and handed them all to Sanbao.
Sanbao stretched out his two little hands and took the cake: "Thank you, sister."
Sanbao put the cake on his lap, opened the wrapper, took out the cake inside, took out a piece, and handed it to Zhaodi: "Sister, have some too."
This little guy is so adorable.
Zhaodi took it, touched her little head, and ran back to work.
"What are you doing, sister?" Tang Li asked.
"I'm learning how to make sesame cakes." Wei Xiaotao said.
Because of her foot problem, she did some handicrafts from workshops at home, but those handicrafts were only enough for the three of them to live on, and their life was very tight.
Of course she wanted to live a better life, and she happened to meet Yunniang through Tangli.
Yunniang’s sesame cakes are delicious, and Yunniang is willing to teach her.
Wei Xiaotao lived frugally and saved enough money to buy a set of equipment for making sesame cakes. Now she is trying to make them at home.
Wei Xiaotao told her plan.
"If we earn more, these two children will live a better life." Wei Xiaotao glanced at Zhaodi and said.
"Sister, sure. This business makes more money than handicrafts, and the cost is lower." Tang Li said.
"Yes, I think so too. Sister Yun can earn hundreds of coins a day. My stall is set up farther away from Sister Yun. I don't ask for hundreds of coins, as long as I can earn a hundred coins, that's enough." One hundred coins a day is three taels of silver a month. Wei Xiaotao felt motivated just thinking about it.
"Okay! Sister, when you start selling, I will definitely patronize your business!" Tang Li said.
"Well, you must come!"
Tang Li stayed at Wei Xiaotao's house for a while, then went to Lu Qing's house next door.
Lu Qing was not at home, only Lu Qing's mother was at home. Tang Li chatted with Old Ma for a while, then took Sanbao home.
…
After Fang Jie and Tang left, Tang Li spent a few comfortable days.
But unexpectedly, a few days later, Fang Jie suddenly rushed over.
It was already dark that day. Hearing an urgent knock on the door, Wei Qing hurried to open the door and saw Fang Jie with an anxious look on his face.
Wei Qing opened the door and let him in.
Aunt Zhao poured him a bowl of water, and Fang Jie held it and drank it in one breath.
"Master Fang, what's going on? Why are you so anxious?"
"Wei Qing, sister-in-law, this matter is really too urgent. My father's illness is getting worse and worse. He is about to die. I just want to see Yan'er, so I want to bring Yan'er back to see him."
"You must help me with this. Consider it a plea from me. I'll even kneel down for you!"
Fang Jie pleaded.
After hearing this, Tang Li felt a little panicked and couldn't help but look at Wei Qing.
Wei Qing called Erbao over: "Erbao, you heard everything we just said. Do you want to go?"
Erbao bit his lip, looked at Wei Qing, then at Fang Jie. After a while, he nodded, but held Wei Qing's sleeve tightly.
The Master said that filial piety is the most important virtue, and his mother also said that one should be upright and honest. Although he didn't want to go, he couldn't be willful. That was his grandfather, and he should go and see him no matter what.
But he was afraid.
He didn't want to leave home, he was afraid of that strange place...
"Okay, then dad will go with you." Wei Qing said.
Dad wants to go with him?
Erbao raised his head and looked at Wei Qing with sparkling eyes.
