Although her father-in-law was the village head and had some prestige in the village, he was honest and never embezzled village money. Although there were many capable people in her family, they were only slightly better off than other families in the village; they were not particularly wealthy.
In addition to her regular wages, she also received a travel allowance from Meng Zhao when she came to work outside. That added up to quite a bit of money. In her opinion, earning more money was better than anything else.
Meng Zhao naturally wouldn't let her stay here indefinitely. She had already selected a few smart and hardworking people and asked Sister Yu Mei to keep an eye on them. Once they were trained, she would let them go back, since being separated from each other for so long wasn't a good thing.
As for Gu Yun, Xu Ping, and Shi Tou, Meng Zhao let them stay for the time being. After all, they were young, and it wouldn't be a bad thing for them to gain more experience.
Then there's Gu Changwu. Meng Zhao wanted him to go back with her. After all, from the time her second aunt was pregnant until she gave birth, except for the time during the Spring Festival when her second uncle was at home, he was always helping her with chores. Now the child can recognize people, but he doesn't have many opportunities to see his father, which is really inappropriate.
Gu Changwu's thoughts were similar to those of Sister-in-law Yumei: "Zhaozhao, I won't go back for now. Gu Yun, Xu Ping, and Shi Tou are all quite young. Not to mention you, I'm not comfortable leaving them here alone."

Gu Changwu hesitated and said, "I wanted to bring your second aunt and her two children here. She had just given birth, and the weather was cold. The children were still small, so it wasn't suitable for her to travel back and forth. That's why I didn't mention it to you. Now that she has recovered, I was thinking of asking if she could come to the workshop to work as well."
Meng Zhao's eyes lit up, as if she had been suddenly enlightened. "How come I didn't think of this idea? It's all thanks to my second uncle for reminding me. If my second aunt recovers and is willing to work, she can certainly come to the workshop to work. Moreover, you can all be reunited as a family and not suffer the pain of separation. It would be perfect."
Gu Changwu, who had been somewhat uneasy, was now completely at ease. "With Zhaozhao's words, I feel relieved."
