Ruan Meng had already informed her family in advance about taking in Du Xiaocan without her consent.
No one in the family had any objections. Although the eldest brother knew more about the inside story, he hadn't told his two younger brothers yet.
The second and third brothers were grateful for Manager Du's help to his sister and his grief over his brother's medicinal herbs. They felt it was only right that Manager Du help them out when he was in trouble.
The sister-in-law was initially worried that even though Du Xiaocan lived with Ruan Meng, the two younger brothers-in-law across the hall would still be bad for a woman's reputation...
Ruan Meng explained the plan: they would temporarily rent a room at Sun Mu'en's house next door. Once the business started, they would build houses for the craftsmen and then arrange another place for Du Xiaocan to stay. The sister-in-law was relieved.
The original plan was to take Mrs. Du to visit the room prepared for Du Xiaocan, but to everyone's surprise, Du Xiaocan did not choose it and instead chose a small cubicle in the clinic.
Even though Madam Du felt sorry for her daughter, she still respected her opinion, and Ruan Meng had no objections either.
Spending time alone, surrounded by herbs, might be beneficial for Du Xiaocan's recovery.
The items delivered by Manager Du were sorted out, and the chickens, ducks, geese, and other animals were kept in the backyard. Ruan Meng began to prepare a delicious meal for Manager Du, his wife, and Lin Qingyu.
Ruan Meng suddenly remembered and asked her sister-in-law about Ah Chun's situation.
The eldest sister-in-law smiled and said that during the time Ruan Meng was away, A Chun went down the mountain every day during the day. In addition to helping Cai Ju take care of Sun Mu En, she also started talking to Sun Mu En. Her steps became lighter and lighter every day.
The sister-in-law also explained that Aunt Feng hadn't been feeling well these past two days, so Ah Chun went back to take care of her and couldn't come over.
Just as Ruan Meng was about to ask if Feng Sao was seriously ill, her sister-in-law explained that her eldest brother had already taken her to visit her last night after the second and third brothers had finished seeing off the drum and gong team.
Aunt Feng had caught a slight cold, but she didn't have a fever, so it wasn't serious. That's why her older brother didn't wake Ruan Meng up and asked her to go up the mountain to help treat her.
Normally, Ruan Qian would have let his sister go, but Ruan Meng hadn't had a proper rest for days, and Ruan Qian felt sorry for her.
Ruan Meng understood and said to her sister-in-law:
"Let's cook first. Once it's done, I'll go up the mountain to invite Uncle Feng's family over, and I'll also help Aunt Feng take a look at her."
The elder sister-in-law patted Ruan Meng's head with satisfaction.
Ruan Meng walked to the door, where her elder brother was chatting with Lin Qing and Manager Du.
Ruan Meng was slightly surprised that Lin Qingyu, such a quiet person, could actually chat with her older brother for a few minutes.
Ruan Meng found Ji Qing and asked him to ask Manager Du and his wife, as well as Lin Qingyu and the staff, what they wanted to eat so she could prepare it...
Ji Qing looked expectant and proactively informed them that they had other business at the pharmacy that afternoon and would have to leave after lunch...
The implication couldn't be clearer.
Ruan Meng asked, "Do you want to take the seafood with sauce or the fried dried fish?"
Ji Qing chuckled, "Can't we have both?"
Ruan Meng smiled and shook her head, "Come in and help quickly!"
Ji Qing called over two of his men to help.
Manager Du brought ten chickens, ten ducks, and ten geese. Ruan Meng originally planned to kill one of each, not because she was deliberately wasting food, but because Manager Du and Ji Qing had not yet tasted the poultry she had prepared.
Upon hearing this, the second and third brothers prepared to lift the overturned basket...
History always repeats itself!
Ruan Meng's expression changed drastically. The third brother rushed over, grabbed the second brother, and spoke in unison with Ruan Meng.
"stop!"
"stop!"
......
The second son looked shocked and patted his chest, "What's wrong? You scared me!"
Ruan Meng: ......
Third brother: Second brother, are you sure you're not just scaring me?!
Ji Qing couldn't help but chuckle, knowing full well what was going on but saying nothing.
The Sun family guards, looking over the courtyard wall, immediately understood the situation and shouted to the second son:
"Second Young Master, how can you use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"
"From now on, when you catch chickens and ducks, just give the order; you don't need to do it yourself..."
The second son blurted out, "How could I possibly accept that!"
The guards' expressions changed. "Not troublesome at all!"
The guards thought: If we wait until the chickens and ducks are out of reach and things get chaotic, then it will be a real problem if we ask them to take action!
Last time they helped catch chickens, all of them had chicken feathers stuck in their hair, and they felt like they smelled like chicken poop on their heads...
Ugh! Just thinking about it makes me want to bleed...
Seeing that the second brother didn't move, the third brother quickly and decisively grabbed a chicken, a duck, and a goose, and threw them into the basket separately.
Ji Qing remembered something that was also related to Fengjia Village, and perhaps Miss Ruan would be interested, so he said:
"Young lady, I went to the market to buy some chickens, ducks, and geese for Manager Du, and I heard something..."
Ruan Meng turned her head.
"He was a scoundrel from Wanjia Village who was previously imprisoned in the county jail. I heard he drove Granny Liu to her death. He died in the jail last night."
"It is said that he offended many people in the prison, was beaten, and suffered internal injuries, but since many people were involved, the law does not punish the masses, so he can only accept his bad luck."
"I heard that the county magistrate even hired a doctor to treat him. Who told him to be so reckless? His injuries weren't fully healed, and he got into a verbal fight, so he got beaten up several times and didn't make it..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Meng dashed out!
Ji Qing was shocked!
