Chapter 95 Adding makeup
Back in the house, Old Lady Wan hurriedly prepared hot food for Wan Xingmo.
No one had eaten much, so it was a good opportunity for them to have another meal with Wan Xingmo. They finished all the leftovers from the evening, and then they sat down with burps.
Inside the warm thatched hut, everyone was full and a little sleepy.
"Niece-in-law, can you help the general back first? I think his health is still very poor and he needs to be taken care of."
Wan Jinshu put one hand on his knee, leaned sideways and said to Old Lady Wan with respect: "Aunt, I am no longer a general. From now on, please don't call me general. If it gets out, I am afraid that people will talk about it. Just call me Jinshu."
Old Mrs. Wan nodded, thinking that what Wan Jinshu said made sense. She should indeed change her words. When she was in exile before, there was no one else on the road, so it didn't matter what she called them. But now they lived in the village, and there were many people in the village, so she had to be more careful.
"It's my fault for not thinking it through. Jinshu, you should go back quickly. I'll ask Mo'er a few questions and then let him go. You need to take good care of your body. You'll have a grandson in the future. Without a man here, life will be so difficult for your family!"
Although Wan Jinshu had a broken arm, he was still a man after all. With him around, Zhao's life would be better.
"Aunt, I understand. Don't worry, I will be fine. I treated them badly before. Now it's time to compensate them."
After hearing this, Zhao lowered her head, her shoulders twitching slightly, and she helped Wan Jinshu stand up.
Wan Jinshu held Zhao's hand with one hand, and Zhao finally felt the tenderness of this tough guy.
Wan Jinshu and Zhao also took Wan Yirou and Wan Yiqun away. The two sisters were inseparable and simply slept together. Wan Yirou occupied a room anyway, so having Wan Yiqun to keep them company was just right.
"Mo'er, come sit here with grandma."
Wan Xingmo happened to be sitting next to Xiao Fubao. Xiao Fubao turned over and put his little arms on Wan Xingmo's legs. Wan Xingmo looked at Xiao Fubao's sleeping face and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Mo'er, how are the arrangements going with your third aunt?"
Although Old Lady Wan was not very close to the Qiu family, they were exiled together after all and had been through hardships together. She was still worried about him, and she had no idea whether this man was reliable.
"Grandma, don't worry. I'll go again tomorrow during the day to see how Third Aunt is doing. But it seems that there is no problem tonight. Sect Leader Wang has already made arrangements for Third Aunt."
Wan Xingmo told Old Lady Wan in detail what happened after his visit to the Cheetah Sect today.
Old Mrs. Wan was filled with emotion and she took out a piece of cloth from the kang cabinet.
"Then let your uncle Wan go with you tomorrow. Grandma has a dress of cloth here. It's aqua red. After all, she is a new bride. When you go with your uncle Wan tomorrow, bring the cloth to your third aunt and say it's a gift from grandma for her dowry. Let her make a new dress. This will also complete the friendship we have built along the way."
Wan Xingmo took it and thanked her on behalf of Qiu.
"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go back and rest. The New Year is coming soon and the family is busy. We also have to prepare for the spring. After the New Year, let your uncle take you to the village chief's house to buy some wasteland. We will reclaim it together and plant some crops first. It will at least provide some income. As long as we don't starve, it's fine."
Wan Xingmo agreed to all of them and was deeply touched. He felt at ease to have such an elder at home who arranged everything in advance.
"Grandma, I understand. I'll go back and tell my mother. I'll also go to the village chief's house when I have time. Since we are going to settle here in the future, we must make long-term plans. Since grandma has planned it for us, we have saved a lot of trouble."
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Wan laughed happily. This child is really good at talking.
After Wan Xingmo left, Old Lady Wan and her family went to bed. The first New Year's Eve since coming to the border passed by so quickly, and they also found a good home for Qiu.
The next morning, Wan Xingmo took Boss Wan to the Cheetah Sect.
After returning home last night, Zhao gave Wan Xingmo ten taels of silver, which was part of the thank-you gift given by Old Lady Wan from Lu Changxin.
After all, it was Wan Xingmo who saved the people, and they were just benefiting from it. Although Xiao Fubao had made a contribution, Old Lady Wan was not a greedy person. Except for the jade pendant, she divided the rest into two equal parts and gave one to Zhao.
So the Zhao family has money now.
She heard Wan Xingmo say that Old Lady Wan took out a piece of cloth for Qiu to make clothes, and as her sister-in-law, she couldn't just not express her opinion.
In fact, the relationship between Qiu and Zhao was neither close nor indifferent. There was no estrangement between the two when they were in the general's mansion before, and Zhao did not dislike Qiu very much.
Now that Qiu is married, she is truly happy for her. It is very difficult for a woman to survive in this border area without a man to rely on.
Zhao directly asked Wan Xingmo to give Qiu ten taels of silver, which fulfilled their relationship as sisters-in-law. How Qiu could live in the future depended entirely on her own ability.
After Wan Xingmo and Wan Lao Da left, the house began to get busy.
The wind and sand at the border are very strong, so after hanging the bacon in the vent for a few days, it is basically dried and becomes jerky.
Old Mrs. Wan asked her daughters-in-law to put away the bacon. After all, it was nearly the New Year and there were more thieves.
Old Mrs. Wan looked at Liu's belly and became a little worried.
"Second brother's wife, please find some time to ask if there is a reliable midwife around here. Your fourth brother's wife's belly is getting bigger and bigger. I think she will give birth before the Dragon Boat Festival next year. We should ask now so that we can make arrangements in advance, otherwise we will be caught off guard when the time comes."
Wan Ersao was chopping meat. Hearing this, she happily responded, "Don't worry, mother. I've been asking around. There's no midwife nearby, but I heard there's a good one in town. The child's father and I will go to town to see her. If she's suitable, we'll settle on her. If not, we'll slowly ask around."
Old Mrs. Wan nodded with satisfaction, feeling that these daughters-in-law were all trustworthy in doing things.
Near noon, there was a loud noise coming from next door.
The Wan family saw a strange man through the fence, looking for trouble in the Shen family's yard.
Old Mrs. Wan quickly called everyone back into the house.
"Come in, don't go and watch the fun. This guy doesn't look like a good person. The fierceness on his face looks like he wants to eat people. You better not do anything bad and stay in your room."
Just as Old Lady Wan called everyone into the house, the gate to the courtyard was kicked open.
