"No need to understand, just a few taels of silver, four people and a dog." Xia smiled: "It's not a big deal."
"Sister-in-law, I think the way we are now is quite good. You are the housekeeper, and I am learning from you. I still have many things that I need your guidance."
"But……"
"Sister-in-law, you are the pillar of our family, and you always will be." Chen Heng immediately offered rainbow bubbles: "Only you can manage the house in an orderly manner, so that Ajian and I can feel at ease. I really can't bear it."
Hearing her sister-in-law say this, Xia blushed and felt a little embarrassed, but she was extremely happy in her heart. For her, no matter whether she was the one taking care of the family or not, she would devote herself to the family wholeheartedly. How could she not be happy to receive such approval from her sister-in-law?
Xie Jian glanced at Shen Heng. This woman was becoming more and more talkative. To him, it was naturally the eldest sister-in-law who was most suitable to take care of the household. The eldest sister-in-law was right. Shen had to learn. "Then you should learn how to take care of the household from the eldest sister-in-law."
Chen Heng was choked by this sudden sentence. She looked away quickly without responding when she met Xie Jian's cold yet deep eyes.
After dinner, little Xie Min played with the puppy.
When Chen Heng had nothing to do, she drew something on the ground with a branch, planning her future path. It had been nearly half a month since she came to Dacongchao, and to be honest, she still couldn't figure out what career to pursue.
She can think of everything, but is not good at anything. This is what she is like now.
That day I accompanied my sister-in-law to sell eggs. I was quite naive in my salesmanship, thinking that when I opened a shop in the future, I could use all the modern tricks. After going to the street several times, I found that those shops had been doing this for a long time, and only idle people did business in a rigid way without any flexibility.
"Aheng, what are you thinking about?" Xia sat under the eaves, watching her son while sewing worn clothes. She felt completely relaxed. It had been a long time since she felt so comfortable.
"Sister-in-law, what business do you think is the most profitable in our market?" Shen Heng sat down next to her sister-in-law and asked.
Xia thought for a moment and said, "Both images are good."
On the other side, Xie Jian was copying a book as usual. He put down his pen halfway through, took the calligraphy that Lord Lu gave him in the morning, and his eyes fell on the words.
From these words, it can be seen that Lord Lu knows about his family affairs. Everyone in Nanming County knows about his family affairs. How could a county magistrate not know about it? He even knows more details than ordinary people.
Advising him to let go of the past and start a new life was too ridiculous. Xie Jian wanted to throw the paper away, but he paused when he heard the sound of little Xie Min and the dog playing happily in the yard. He looked over and saw his nephew playing with the dog on one side, and his sister-in-law and Shen Heng chatting and laughing on the other side. He didn't know what they were talking about, but his sister-in-law was laughing very happily.
Xia was talking to her sister-in-law about the latest news at the market when she saw Xie Jian come out: "Ajian, are you going out?"
"Sister-in-law, I'll go frame the calligraphy that Lord Lu gave me." Xie Jian pointed to the calligraphy in his hand.
"Master Lu's calligraphy?" Xia looked curious.
Xie Jian told him about what happened when he met Lu Ji'an at Wanjia Bookstore in the morning.
"Did Lord Lu really write a letter to give to Ajian?" Xia stood up excitedly.
"It's true." Shen Heng was also happy. This Lord Lu was indeed a good person. He was upright and fair in his dealings. No wonder he was loved by the people of Nanming County. Such an official was rare in modern times.
"Let sister-in-law see what's written."
Xie Jian unfolded.
"It's really well written." Xia couldn't read, and couldn't understand the squiggly characters, but she would read anything Lord Lu wrote. "What does it mean?"
