The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Zhu's ice cellar business was booming. She was very busy. Old Mrs. Tao looked after the business for a while. When Fan's pregnancy was stable, she wanted to go home too.

Yurong hurriedly advised, "Just stay a few more days. When my mother is done with her work, she will take you to the silver shop to make some jewelry before you go home."

Old Mrs. Tao waved her hands and said, "Tell your mother not to spend money on me. Your wedding will cost a lot of money. Your sister-in-law is going to have a baby, so we need to hire a wet nurse and maids. Your mother will take care of everything at home."

Yurong also understood this matter. Fan was born into a scholarly family and was considered a wealthy family, but the Fan family was a large family. Fan's father's generation had more than a dozen uncles and brothers. Because of this, Fan's dowry was ordinary, and she would never take the initiative to spend money to do things, and relied entirely on Zhu.

Zhu was not a sucker. After all, she was the one who paid the money, so she was the one who made the decisions on all matters in the family, and her son and daughter-in-law had no say. As a result, Yurong lived a comfortable life in her parents' home, and Fan also praised her sister-in-law in every way.

Even when Zhu wanted to take all the betrothal gifts back to the Wei family, Fan did not dare to say a word.

So what Old Lady Tao said was true, but Yurong couldn't really let Old Lady Tao go back just like that, so she asked someone to prepare some food and also gave her a gold necklace.

"It hasn't come to that point yet. My uncle has just entered the government. You can't just come to my daughter's house and go back empty-handed. When my mother is done with her work, I will go to pay my respects to you and my uncle and aunt."

Old Mrs. Tao refused but finally accepted it, and implicitly praised Yurong for her ability to get things done.

Yurong just laughed it off.

When Zhu came back, she knew that Old Lady Tao had gone back, so she waved her hand and said, "Your grandmother is still thinking about your uncle. Don't be sad. Even the closest relatives will have their own biases. We don't have to count on it."

This is what Zhu always taught her: everyone has their own biases.

Just like Old Lady Tao was very kind to Zhu and also felt sorry for her, but she still wanted to give the money she saved to her son. Zhu had seen through all this a long time ago and was not very sad, because she always knew how to be invincible and live her life to the fullest without relying on anyone.

Yurong nodded: "I will remember your teachings, mother."

Other mothers only let their daughters learn needlework and housekeeping for fear that they will be laughed at when they go to their husband's house in the future. However, Zhu made great efforts to let her daughter learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, the Four Books and Five Classics, and even needlework at the end. She felt that she was not a man and was restricted in every way. It was a waste for her daughter to marry a stinky man with such appearance.

How do you know if a man is reliable?

Is your son reliable?

Little did they know that no one could be trusted.

Seeing her daughter being so well-behaved, Zhu was very happy from the bottom of her heart. "Mother, you have opened another shop with the money you earned from the ice cellar, and are going to make an ice cream parlor. My sister Rong will now have another shop. You just need to think about what to cook for your shop."

When Yurong mentioned this, her eyes lit up. "Generally, shops sell lychee paste water, balsam pear drink, lactose snow, kumquat balls, etc. Rich people often drink basil drink. We sell products that everyone can afford. My daughter can even make up a nursery rhyme that everyone is familiar with. Others sell for more than 20 wen, and often 70 or 80 wen. We only sell for 4 wen. It just so happens that my daughter found out yesterday that green tangerines are cheap now."

Small profits lead to large sales. Attract people with green tangerine drink, and then sell other expensive items along with it.

"What nursery rhyme is that? Sing it to me first."

Yurong hummed a passage, and Zhu praised her: "It's catchy. Good, this is it."

Yurong felt a sense of accomplishment because she could help Zhu. Zhu was a person who was so busy with business that she didn't care about anything else. Besides doing some embroidery, Yurong just looked after the house and took a nap.

She no longer had any bruises on her face, her skin was smooth and supple, and she ate a light diet every day. Her sister-in-law Fan was envious, "Sister Rong, have you noticed that your face has become more and more like jade?"

Yurong smiled and said, "That's because I rest all day. Mother said that a woman's beauty comes from sleep, so, sister-in-law, you should rest more if you have nothing to do. Anyway, there is nothing important going on at home right now."

Recently, something big happened in the Wei family. Naturally, it was the continuation of the marriage of Wei Xuanning's father. Because it was the continuation of the marriage, not much was done.

Yurong didn't take these little things to heart. No matter what Zhou did, she could handle it. Just from the courtesy the Wei family showed her, it could be seen that the Wei family was a smart family.

Zhu's business had always been very active. She had people make green orange drink, which cost four cents a cup, and hired some boys to sing it from door to door in the streets. Since ancient times, cheap things have been popular. She originally planned to break even and just wanted her daughter's dowry to look better. Unexpectedly, there was a long queue here.

Not to mention making a fortune, the Zhu family also made a lot of money, especially the green orange drink which was their signature dish.

The family lived together, so Zhu's good fortune in making money could naturally not be hidden from others, especially the fact that she bought 100 acres of forest land for her daughter. The third and fifth wives knew it clearly.

As for Madam Lu from the third room, forget about it. Yuwei can only endure it now anyway, and she won't be able to make any progress for a while. They are my concubine's family, so it's not easy to visit them. She has to ask Yang Zhao to bring things to them from time to time. Although she doesn't like it, she won't tell any lies.

But the fifth room was very angry, because Yulian's face had been treated by several doctors, but none of them could cure it. It might take a year or two to completely heal it, and in serious cases, they might even have to remove flesh.

Li Junjun almost cried: "If I had known this would happen, I would not have let you go. You were fine, but your face is now like this. It's psoriasis, it's psoriasis, I don't know which bastard did this..."

"Ahem." The Fifth Elder Lady pushed Li Junjun away, "It's no use to say regrets anymore. Let's think long-term and heal Yulian's face first."

The psoriasis was caused by the Fifth Old Lady. She had used almost the most vicious method to deal with others, but she never thought that she would ruin her granddaughter's reputation. Yulian was her proudest granddaughter. She had even spent a fortune to build her reputation, and she was counting on her to make a name for herself. She could not afford to ruin her like this.

But while they are sad, there are always happy events next door, and no one would be happy to see it.

Even a kind-hearted person like Fan couldn't help but say to Yurong, "It's really ridiculous. My fifth aunt and I were walking towards her, and I greeted her with a big belly, but she just walked past with a cold face. She really went too far. We didn't offend them in the first place."

Yurong smiled slyly and said, "The Fifth House has always had a great grudge against our family. If our family is doing well, won't her family be unhappy? Perhaps things that make her even more unhappy will happen from time to time."

Yes, because Wei Xuanning came to see her. They were an engaged couple. Wei Xuanning attended his father's wedding banquet and took time to come back. He happened to go to the Du family first. Mrs. Du mentioned Yurong's birthday gift, so he took time to come over and say thank you.

When he came over, Yurong was arranging flowers. The slanting sunset shone on her, making her look even more beautiful...

Fan rubbed her eyes and went back to her room with interest. She thought to herself, mother is really far-sighted. She doesn't let her sister-in-law follow the traveling merchants or make the bride dress up with countless wedding embellishments like other families do. Her sister-in-law has clear eyes, rests all day, plays the piano, chats and drinks tea. In this way, her aunt will not be completely bewitched by her in the future.

I am young after all.
