Huang was slightly surprised by Zhao Qingyan's words, but then she understood. No wonder she always felt like she was being watched when she was building the orphanage in the prefectural city.
The other party was highly skilled at stealth. Even though she could sense that she was being watched, she couldn't pinpoint their exact location.
If this were an ordinary person or someone with even a little bit of fighting ability, they would have already caught the person.
“My dear, you are right to be careful. I also felt like I was being watched in the city, but I couldn’t pinpoint the exact location of the person watching me.”
It must be that the higher-ups have been keeping an eye on our family.
You need to be more careful in the future, especially try not to take things out of your space.
Our family is living a better life than many other families now.
Even with two orphanages, the money from selling alcohol and the income from the workshop would be more than enough to live on each year.
"Once your father and the others pass the imperial examinations and become officials, our family's life will only get better."
Zhao Qingyan nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.
These days, apart from the lack of electricity, which prevents us from using washing machines, air conditioners, and other household appliances, everything else seems pretty good.
The meals are cooked, and the clothes are washed.
If it gets hot at night, I go back to my online space, or I put out a few ice basins. There's nothing more pleasant than that.
As for the stockpiled goods and large quantities of grain grown in the space, leave them for now, just replace the portion of grain that is for the family to eat.
In the agricultural era, there was always the possibility of drought or flooding.
In any case, whenever there is a disaster or famine, ordinary people are unable to live a normal life.
We can save it and take it out then, either to sell it at a low price, to distribute porridge, or to donate it. In any case, there is no such thing as wasting food.
With Huang's return, everyone in the family felt as if they had found a pillar of support.
During the period when the orphanage in Fucheng was being established, my sister-in-law's embroidery shop officially opened.
You can bring Erbao to the shop to look after him.
My second sister-in-law has two young babies to take care of, and even with the help of a housekeeper, she's still overwhelmed.
Especially after listening to Zhao Qingyan's advice, the second sister-in-law tried her best to do everything herself for her children. She trusted no one, not even the servants with whom she had a contractual relationship.
Once my second sister-in-law's child is old enough to be taken care of, I will definitely find her some way to make a living.
After all, women need to have something to do for themselves; otherwise, being a housewife for too long can easily lead to depression.
Recently, Zhao Qingyan's relationship with Xu Dongsheng has progressed by leaps and bounds.
Zhao Qingyan has completely accepted this young boy as her future husband.
Besides the daily scheduled feedings, he would spar with Xu Dongsheng in his spare time. In other words, it was a different kind of training.
Even if a man is studying, he must have a strong physique and agile skills.
Once you become an official, you never know when you might offend someone. What if someone tries to harm you?
Who knows why Zhao Qingyan has so many conspiracy theories in her mind?
"Yan'er, we've been fighting for almost an hour now, let's take a break. I've memorized these moves, I'll just practice the rest diligently."
Xu Dongsheng suggested, by which time he was already drenched in sweat from Zhao Qingyan's scolding.
Although Zhao Qingyan was also tired, her overall condition was okay.
Since cultivating her internal energy, Zhao Qingyan's body has been able to resist changes in temperature.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Remember to practice, it's a way to save your life."
Although your skills were decent before, that was all self-taught. You'd be finished if you ran into a real master.
Xu Dongsheng readily accepted the offer, his face beaming with happiness.
Meanwhile, Little Tangyuan's parents returned to the capital at breakneck speed.
As soon as he entered the door, a servant from his mother's side came to inform him to go to the old lady's courtyard.
Madam Mo was actually just a woman in her forties; she was rather plump because she ate a lot.
Therefore, she looks older than her age. However, given her pampered lifestyle, she doesn't have many wrinkles on her face.
Because of his high cheekbones, he looks somewhat domineering.
In fact, her personality is quite compatible with her appearance.
"Shan'er, you're back. Did you find my little grandson?" Old Madam Mo asked.
“Mother, we have found the child, but we haven’t brought him back,” Mo Ganshan said.
"What? Now that the child has been found, why not bring him back? Do you really want the descendants of the Mo family to be left to wander outside?"
Madam Mo pounded the bed and screamed.
Moganshan rubbed his temples.
"Mom, don't get agitated. There's a reason why I'm not bringing the child back. Please listen to me first."
The child changed hands several times before being adopted by a little beggar.
This year, thanks to a local philanthropist who built an orphanage, the city's orphans were taken in.
My son has finally started living a proper life.
However, his body was very weak because it had been deficient since birth.
There happens to be a skilled doctor over there who can use gentle, nourishing medicine to restore the child's health. He says that within two years, the child's constitution will be restored.
Madam Mo frowned and said,
"What doctor's medical skills can be better than those of doctors in the capital? How can you be so careless?"
This child can only be properly raised if kept close at hand. And what exactly is this orphanage?
Moganshan then recounted the story of the orphanage.
"I'm telling you, you're getting more and more confused. What, has being a general made you lose your mind?"
And your wife, really.
Useless thing, she can't even take care of her own child.
Not even realizing that this is flesh and blood of their own flesh is incredibly stupid.
You should go and bring the child back.
"Keep him by my side and take care of him. You and your wife should hurry up and have another grandson."
Madam Mo issued her orders forcefully and domineeringly.
Moganshan spoke again.
"Mom, don't rush to pick up the child. They're taking good care of him."
Without the sales home, I don't know where my son would be hiding now, eating rotten food and drinking dirty water.
What does Mother think about Fu Bao? Shouldn't we send him back to his family?
Madam Mo was furious.
"What are you saying?"
That Fu Bao, after all, has been with us for over two years. Even with a cat or dog, you develop a bond.
How could you be so heartless?
How can we send the child back?
His parents are both in jail right now. Do you want him to go back and live a hard life with his older siblings?
Mo Ganshan clenched his fist and then released it.
“Mother, it’s not that your son is heartless. When you say these words, have you ever thought about how much suffering your own grandson has endured?”
The newborn baby was taken away.
When someone is in a good mood, they're given some porridge or rice water; when someone is in a bad mood, they're given several meals without food.
"If it weren't for my son's incredible luck, how could he have survived to this day?"
