Zhang Yuqing looked at the people in the room and silently accepted the money. She then looked at Yan Erni and said, "If you come back with me, you have to promise that you won't care about anything going on over there. Even if my good brother Zhang Mingyuan dies, you won't care. If you can't promise me, then don't come to me again."
Yan Erni nodded and said, "I've been divorced. From now on, that place has nothing to do with me. You are my only daughter."
Zhang Yuqing's tense face finally relaxed. She still had hatred towards Yan Erni in her heart. At first, she felt that she deserved it when she heard about her experience, but gradually she began to feel uncomfortable and absent-minded. Fang Erqiang understood her and talked to her a lot, and she was willing to give Yan Erni a chance. But the most important thing was that she didn't want to trouble Yan Bangfa and others. After all, they had helped a lot, but this trip still troubled them. She had to accept the silver note of one hundred taels whether she wanted to or not.
Zhou packed up a few jackets that she didn't wear and asked Chunxiao to take two pieces of cloth. Chunxiao simply took two more pieces. After all, there were many people there and they would definitely need them.
After handing the bundle to Zhang Yuqing, Zhou took out 5 taels of silver from her bosom and gave it to Yan Erni. "Take this money and buy snacks for the children occasionally. The children will like you. Change your annoying temper in the future and live a good life with Yuqing. You can still live well without a man. It would be best if you can make them die of anger."
Yan Erni hugged her and cried again, "Sister-in-law, I am a bastard. I was wrong before. I apologize to you and I will definitely change in the future."
"Okay, stop crying. You've soaked my shoulders." Zhou wiped her eyes. "Let's go now. Come visit me more often during festivals."
Yan Bingfa patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be so petty anymore. I'll let Dashan take you there."
Yan Dashan drove the carriage to send the people away.
Chunxiao looked at Zhou, whose eyes were red, and said, "Mother, you hated Aunt the most, but now that she's gone, you're crying so hard."
Tian laughed at the side, "You don't know our mother yet, she is very hard-mouthed but soft-hearted. Now that aunt is like this, I think it is better than our arrangement. Dashan is really thoughtful."
Chun Xiao scratched her head embarrassedly, "How would I know that cousin Yuqing could take aunt back? She hated her so much before."
"The bond between mother and daughter is not something you can just give up." Zhou looked at Yan Bingfa, who was smiling at her. "What are you laughing at? If you don't keep an eye on Chunxiao's house, I'll hold you responsible if the craftsmen cut corners."
Yan Bingfa had no choice but to leave.
Yan Erni's matter has come to a relatively ideal conclusion.
After February, the days became warmer day by day. Things on the farm had been arranged, and Shuwen had returned. Yan Dashan often followed the villagers to check on the land every now and then. Anyway, they had a carriage and it was convenient to go anywhere. If they really couldn't make it back in time, they would stay overnight in a local inn.
Chunxiao's house was only one-third completed. There were so many requirements this time, and the craftsmen also wanted to leave a good impression on the owner in order to get more work in the future, so the work was done more carefully than before.
In mid-March, Fu Zongming came again. It seemed that this master was determined to make friends with Chunxiao. He did not mention buying technology, but only asked how to deal with the cotton insect pests.
The other person didn't ask anything specific, so Chunxiao told him that pesticides are usually made by adjusting grass, but the actual effect is not great. The most important thing is to hire people to catch insects, which cannot be saved.
Fu Zongming left happily. After this man came twice, gossip started to spread in the village. They all said that the master in the county town had taken a fancy to Chunxiao. Even Xu Shizhu asked Zhou about this indirectly.
"You don't know about our Chunxiao, but others don't know about her. She's not thinking about this. The guy surnamed Fu is in the same business as us after all, and he wants to use his connections to get information about our cotton planting. If he wasn't so polite and hard to refuse, I wouldn't have wanted to receive him.
Seeing Xu Shizhu's relieved look, Zhou found it amusing. "You're also weird. Your Dongsheng is already a grown-up, yet you're not worried at all. Now you're thinking about Chunxiao's affairs."
Xu Shizhu smiled awkwardly, "Dongsheng has his own ideas, but I can't control them. Well, the child is grown up, so let him do whatever he wants. When he was in the military camp before, I was worried every day. Now that he is back, I just think that as long as he is happy, everything is fine."
"Don't be too attached to him. This man has seen too much of the world outside and has become wild and unwilling to settle down. Our Shuwen is not like that. Find him a wife. Once he gets married and understands the benefits of having a wife, he'll naturally be fine."
Xu Shizhu smiled and said nothing.
The village school has already started. Chunxiao has visited it twice and found the old teacher to be a very responsible one. There are many children attending the school, so she discussed with the head of the village about hiring another teacher.
This matter has been on my mind for a long time. "Last time, your father said he would go to the town to post notices. I thought your eldest brother was going to look at land and wandering around the towns. I have asked him to help keep an eye out. We provide accommodation here. If there are more men in the future, we can find a woman from the village, pay her wages, and cook for them every day."
Chunxiao didn't expect the village head to have already taken action. She felt that she was worrying too much. "Uncle village head, after the house is built here, I want to repair the road on our side so that it will be more convenient for cars in the future."
"Building a road is a great thing. I'm planning to hold a meeting these past two days to discuss the renovation of that sloping land at the end of the village. Chunxiao, if you really want to build it, wait until we've finished building it. Otherwise, if we accidentally build the road, it would be a waste of money."
