Chapter 911: Live Your Life Well

Xuemei sat in the carriage and resisted the urge to open the curtains. The bustling sounds outside made her particularly nervous, because this was where she would live in the future.

Jiang Sheng held his wife's hand and said, "We'll be there in a moment."

Xuemei nodded. Yes, she was going home. Her parents, brothers and sisters were there. She had nothing to be afraid of.

When they arrived at Zhou's residence, Shen Xing dismounted and walked over, "Miss, we're here."

Xuemei was tidying up her clothes while her husband went downstairs to wait for the carriage. Xuemei saw her brother and sister-in-law, as well as her younger brothers and sisters, and hurried forward, somewhat flattered. She had not expected so many people to come to meet her. "It's so cold outside, why are you still waiting at the door?"

Li, the sister-in-law, spoke first: "Of course, to welcome you."

Xuemei felt her blood boiling, this was a sign of the importance her family placed on her. Looking at her sister-in-law and brothers and sisters-in-law who were talking to her, Xuemei's eyes became a little red. Her family's status had changed, but the family's attitude towards her had never changed.

Boss Zhou has already met the two elders of the Jiang family. Boss Zhou's attitude is friendly, "Uncle, aunt, you have worked hard on the way. Let's go inside and rest."

The old couple of the Jiang family stood sullenly in front of the gate of the mansion. The gate was so imposing that they could hardly move.

Zhou Laoda smiled and stepped forward to support them. Jiang Sheng also supported his mother. Zhou Laoda said, "We have a servant to take care of the luggage. Let's go into the mansion first."

Li had already taken Jiang Lei and said to Xuemei, "Let's go too."

Changzhi has already held hands with the twins. The twins are familiar with their fourth uncle. The two boys are quite brave, but they are still afraid of being in a grand and unfamiliar place, so they hold their fourth uncle's hand tightly.

Su Xuan was amused, "I heard that you all dared to run away from home, why don't you dare to say anything now?"

The twins' faces were red, and the two identical children lowered their heads. Su Xuan looked at them with even more curiosity, and said to her husband, "They look so alike. This is the first time I've seen them."

Changzhi felt his nephews holding his hands tightly and replied, "It's rare indeed."

They soon entered the mansion. Xuemei looked at her mother standing in front of her and couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes. She had been frightened before, but now that she saw her biological mother, she felt relieved and aggrieved.

Zhulan patted the eldest daughter who had fallen into her arms. When she and Zhou Shuren came, the eldest daughter had already married and had little time to be brought up. The fact that this child was able to keep her heart was all due to Xuemei's good character. "Okay, we're home, don't cry anymore."

Xuemei just wanted to cry and couldn't stop. Zhulan felt bad listening to her. The eldest daughter was really scared. In ancient times, misfortune did not affect the wife and children, even married women could not escape.

Seeing her elder sister crying, Li couldn't help but have her eyes red. She thought that she would go back to her parents' home and cry more miserably than her elder sister.

Zhao's mother had passed away, so she didn't have much feeling about it. But Dong did have some feelings, but when she thought about how her parents-in-law treated their daughter and compared her with her own parents, she felt bad.

Not to mention Su Xuan, her parents died early, and the only maternal love she could feel came from her mother-in-law.

Xuemei cried for a while in the yard, but soon calmed down and just held her mother's hand tightly.

As Zhulan walked back, she said to the two elders of the Jiang family, "This child has not seen me for a long time and must be missing me. I am sorry to have embarrassed you."

Jiang Wangshi used to be able to look Yang in the eye, but now she dares not to, and speaks carefully, "Xuemei is a very filial child, your in-laws are blessed."

Zhulan patted the lady's hand and said to the second son of the Jiang family, "Thank you for your hard work along the way."

Jiang Wangshi didn't feel it was hard. She had good food and accommodation. She just enjoyed the journey. "It's good. It's not hard."

Zhulan saw that Jiang Wangshi was not lying and that the old couple of the Jiang family were indeed in good spirits. She smiled and said, "My father is busy at the Ministry of Revenue. He was waiting for my in-laws at home, but he couldn't leave. Don't worry too much."

She didn't lie. It wasn't that Zhou Shuren looked down on the Jiang family, but he really couldn't leave.

Old Jiang grinned, and that was all he had to say, "The job is urgent."

When they returned to the main courtyard, Zhulan took the baby from Li's arms and said, "This is Lei'er, let me hold him."

Li's arms felt a little sore from hugging him, "This kid is quite strong."

Zhulan took it and weighed it. "It's not light."

Jiang Lei didn't dare to move. There were too many people in the room and he was a little scared.

Xuemei said to her son, "This is grandma. Didn't you say you wanted to see her?"

Jiang Lei called out timidly, "Grandma."

Zhulan responded happily and kissed the little guy.

Changzhi let go of the twins' hands, pushed their backs, and whispered, "Go over here quickly."

The twins saw their grandmother looking at them and felt that their fourth uncle had pushed them again. They were brave enough to run over and said, "Grandma."

Zhulan was surprised to see two children who looked exactly like her. "Okay, okay."

The twins no longer had any impression of their grandmother, but blood ties are magical. After calling their grandmother, they became bolder and called her a few more times.

Zhu Lan said cheerfully, "They looked alike when they were little, and even more alike now that they've grown up. I can no longer tell who is who."

Jiang Sheng continued, "Mom, these two kids like to pretend to be each other. Xuemei and I are fooled sometimes."

Zhulan saw the twins and felt embarrassed, "Naughty."

The twins are also shy because they are nestled in their mother's arms and cannot get out.

Zhulan looked at the Zhou clan members who followed in. They were all good young people. Even though Zhulan had a good memory, it had been many years since she left the house, so her memory was a little fuzzy. For a moment, she really didn't dare to call out to them, "You guys must have worked hard on the way here. Come here quickly, let me take a look."

Those who came this time were all of Ming generation, the older ones were in their twenties, the younger ones were about seventeen or eighteen. Some had already passed the imperial examination and were indeed outstanding young men as the clan leader said in the letter.

The support for the clan over the years is about to bear fruit. Future generations will not have to work alone like Zhou Shuren did. The more talented people there are in the clan, the more benefits the descendants will benefit from.

Several young men in the clan were nervous, especially after entering the Zhou Mansion. Even without looking around, they could feel the grandeur of the Mansion. At the same time, they were proud in their hearts. The Zhou family had an uncle, and their faces were full of honor.

Several boys came forward and called Zhulan "uncle and grandmother". Well, their seniority was high. Zhulan also responded with a smile. Because they were in a hurry, their stomachs were empty. When the girl came over, the food was already prepared, so Boss Zhou invited everyone out for dinner.

After dinner, Boss Zhou arranged for them to have a rest, so Zhulan didn't have to worry about anything.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law and mother-in-law had something to talk about, Jiang Wangshi did not stay long and followed the maid to rest.

Everyone left, even the child Jiang Sheng was taken away to rest.

Zhulan took out the deed of the house and handed it to the daughter. "The house is not big, but it is close to West City and has a good location. Zhiyan Shenxing also lives nearby, so they will take good care of it."

Xuemei laughed out loud, "My daughter really guessed it right. It seems that I was right to carry the banknote with me all the time."

As she spoke, Xuemei took out the banknotes that she had kept close to her body. Since only the mother and daughter were there, Xuemei did not feel embarrassed.

Xuemei asked, "Mother, you bought this house for your daughter, you must keep this money."

Zhulan looked at the banknotes. There were no large-denomination notes, but mostly small-denomination notes. It was obvious that they were not dowry money. "Okay, I'll keep this money."

Xuemei felt relieved, "Mom, you and Dad have done so much for your daughter."

As she spoke, Xuemei lay in her mother's arms. She and her husband had already planned their future life. She would live her own life well and not let her parents worry too much.
