Bai Ruixue's eyes lit up.
Ten days.....
Even if she's incredibly unlucky, she should be able to get pregnant by now if she stays for ten days straight.
I thought Brother Xiaotian was going to Jiao'er's room tonight.
With her mother-in-law's words, she felt relieved.
Anyway, Brother Xiaotian will have to take a concubine sooner or later.
Stop crying. If you offend your mother-in-law, her life will become even harder.
Bai Ruixue wiped away her tears, took Jiao'er's teacup, and took a small sip.
"Little sister, from now on you must be filial to Mother, serve your husband well, and never make them angry, understand? I am your older sister, and it is my responsibility to teach you..."
"Alright, Jiao'er, come to my room and help me grind the ink." Bai Ruixue wanted to stall for time so that Jiao'er could kneel for a longer period of time, preferably until she miscarried. However, she underestimated He Tian's feelings for Jiao'er.
He Tian had only said half a sentence when he pulled Jiao'er away.
Bai Ruixue cried again.
But what she didn't know was that the days ahead were still long.

June 20th.
Early in the morning, the villagers of Baihua Village were puzzled to see that there had been no movement at the village head's house for a long time.
Wasn't it said that Xiaoxue (Minor Snow) was the day she was getting married?
"Bang bang bang—"
A few people who couldn't hold back their anger were the first to knock on the door of the village head's house.
Soon, the door opened.
It was the village head himself.
"Brother Bai, isn't your Xiaoxue getting married today? Why is there no news? We came over early this morning, but your door hasn't been opened for a long time. Is something wrong?"
Bai Li replied with droopy eyelids.
"Oh, she got sick, and she was taken to town yesterday but couldn't get better and died."
Those few simple words left everyone stunned and speechless.
"What? Xiaoxue is dead? What happened? I didn't see any funeral held at your house, village head."
“Funeral? What’s the point of holding a funeral for a girl who hasn’t even left home yet? Just bury her in the ground, that’s all. You should go back. My wife is so grief-stricken, she just fainted. We won’t be able to entertain you.”
After Bai Lizheng finished speaking, he closed the door.
The villagers standing outside gathered together, discussing in hushed tones.
"Is Xiaoxue really dead?"
"I guess so, the village head looks very haggard."
"His reaction is so strange. He used to spoil that old maid rotten. How come he didn't even hold a funeral for her after she died? He should at least buy a coffin and bury her on the mountain."
"Are you stupid? How can you bring back people who died outside to the village? I think Bai Lizheng did the right thing. We can't bring bad luck back."
"Oh, what a pity. How could such a healthy girl fall ill? Is it because she was unlucky? She was just one day short of her goal and didn't make it through. Perhaps she was born with a hard life."
"I also think that she must have been unable to resist the lure of wealth, which is why she fell ill and passed away suddenly. If you ask me, she should have married someone of equal social standing. Instead, she insisted on climbing the social ladder, and now look what happened, she's gone."
“........”
All of these people believed Bai Lizheng's words.
After all, his image has already deeply resonated with the public.
Who would have thought that the village head, who was always honest and kind, would lie?
Baihua Village is even more lively than usual today.
Every household's dinner table revolved around Bai Ruixue.
It's heartbreaking that a perfectly healthy person is gone just like that.
The day passed quickly.
June 21st.
As dawn broke, Yan Xia led Jin Yu in a horse-drawn carriage to Jiangnan County.
She could only stay for one day this time. The restaurant on the 23rd had reopened, and she had to rush back to support it.
Since the journey was long, Xiao Ji prepared two lunch boxes for the two of them, one for breakfast and one for lunch.
For breakfast, I had hot and sour tofu buns with a pot of soy milk. For lunch, I had egg pancakes rolled with shredded meat and pickled vegetables. They weren't particularly delicious, but they were filling.
If one can ride a horse, one can naturally also drive a carriage.
The two took turns every hour.
To avoid excessive fatigue.
At noon, when the sun was at its hottest, it was Jin Yu's turn to drive. The carriage was stuffy and hot. After lunchtime, Yan Xia sat next to Jin Yu with a pancake in hand, enjoying the breeze, admiring the scenery, and eating lunch, occasionally taking a sip of iced water.
Since the shop started supplying ice regularly, she has never drunk hot water again.
There was a food box in the carriage.
The box was filled with ice cubes.
There are five floors in total, and each floor has a new product.
The food box was wrapped in a downy winter coat, which belonged to Jin Fu.
This is to prevent the ice inside the food container from melting.
All five samples of the new product were given to franchisees in Jiangnan County for tasting.
They can order as much stock as they want.
"Jinyu, the demand for milk is too high. How are the cows I asked you to buy from other places? Four of the cows raised in Baihua Village are pregnant and can no longer produce milk."
After finishing her pancake, Yan Xia drank some ice water and leaned comfortably against the carriage edge, asking Xiang Jinyu.
"Don't worry, Sister Xia, I've entrusted this matter to Xiao Bao. He went to Yongping Town in Pingdu County yesterday. The livestock industry there is very developed. Not only cattle, but also horses, pigs and sheep are sold more there than in our town. By the time we come back, Xiao Bao should have already delivered the cow to Baihua Village."
The second right thing Jin Yu did in his life was to make Bai Xiaobao his assistant.
Don't let his young age fool you.
He's an expert in everything, ever since he came into our lives.
It's much easier to be cautious.
"Oh, that's good. I brought you here this time because I have another idea. From now on, you'll go to other places to help me collect debts and also be responsible for selecting new franchisees. You'll replace me when we're out there, understand?"
Yan Xia saw that Jin Yu had adapted to the job and was ready to hand over all the responsibilities to him.
Xiaohe is about to give birth.
She has to spend some of her time at home with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
As the number of franchisees increases, the frequency of business trips to other places also increases.
Yan Xia was a little tired from all the traveling.
Isn't the point of making money to enjoy life?
If you exhaust yourself, you'll be putting the cart before the horse.
Moreover, she has another worry: the amount of roses she uses is too large. Even if she planted a whole patch of them on the mountain, it still wouldn't be enough. The current stock is barely enough to supply the main store and five branches.
If the number of franchisees grows to more than ten, the rose petal jam might run out before winter.
Another batch of roses will bloom in September.
That means it can only be used until February or March.
The roses are just beginning to bloom in May.
What should be done about the gap period during this time?
After chatting for a while, Yan Xia closed her eyes, leaned back, and pretended to take a nap, but actually went to the space store to search for rose seeds.
One hundred points remain.
She plans to buy another batch and plant them.
This way, the number of roses that bloom in September can double.
This greatly alleviated the shortage of rose jam.
[System, where are the rose seeds I bought last time? I can't find them.]
Yan Xia searched the entire online store but couldn't find it.
[I'm sorry, host, this product has been discontinued. You can refer to the new products.]
The mechanical sound of the system had just faded.
Ten kinds of rose seeds appeared on the panel in front of Yan Xia.
The first type is a seven-colored rose from the celestial realm, with a bitter taste followed by a sweet aftertaste. It is suitable for brewing tea and for ornamental purposes, and is priced at 5,000 points.
