Jiang Yue was making preparations for her return to Yunshui County, while the people at the Wu family's old residence were also packing up dried goods to see her off.
Grandpa Wu knew in his heart that Wu Family Village was too small, and his third son's wife shouldn't be trapped here.
She is the pride of the Wu family and the hope of Wu Village. She should go to her fiefdom and realize her ambitions!
"Old man, move aside, don't block the way. Let's take advantage of the good weather today and dry the goji berries and dried red dates some more."
"Okay, I'll let you have it, but don't yell at me."
"Where did I yell at you, you old fool? All you do is spout nonsense!"
"You were clearly being aggressive, but you won't admit it!"
The elderly couple bickered while continuing with their daily tasks.
Hearing the commotion, Madam Zhou rushed over to help.
She agreed to whatever her mother-in-law said, which prevented her in-laws from arguing further.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, how many chickens do you have left at home?"
"There are still eight left. The newly caught chicks are still small, but there are also six geese. I'm thinking of catching them all and giving them to my third sister-in-law to take away."
"You're so thoughtful. Unlike your father-in-law, all he does is sunbathe. He doesn't even bother to prepare anything for his third son's wife to take with her."
"Hey, I don't like hearing that. What do you mean I don't know? I ordered five hundred farm eggs from Old Xu and a hundred salted fish from Old Zhao in the next village. Hmph, do you think I didn't do anything?"
"Well, good job, you've got things done. But where did you get this money?"
"Ouch, my stomach hurts! My stomach hurts so much! I need to go to the bathroom, it hurts so much!"
Da Zhou covered her mouth, trying not to laugh. Had her father-in-law hidden away some money?
This is terrible! My mother-in-law is going to nag me!
After feeding the pigs, Xiao Zhou returned home. Hearing her mother-in-law cursing her father-in-law, she curiously went over to her sister-in-law to inquire...
"If I find out who's giving that old man pocket money, I'll beat him to a pulp!"
The two sisters-in-law exchanged a glance and quickened their pace.
Who else could it be?
Besides their husbands, their children and grandchildren, who else could it be...?
The woman, heavily pregnant, brought over the pharmaceutical factory's profit and loss statements for the first half of the year.
Jiang Yue wasn't in a hurry to look; she trusted Da Niu's abilities.
She asked Da Niu about her pregnancy symptoms and told her not to neglect herself and to take good care of herself during the pregnancy.
With the help of several managers, things at the pharmaceutical factory won't get chaotic.
At her age, pregnancy is not easy, so we need to be careful.
As for my niece's husband, thankfully he's a teacher and has summer and winter vacations.
Summer vacation has started, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with my daughter.
Da Niu had a happy smile on her face as she talked about her husband.
She didn't understand before, thinking that being submissive, obedient, and docile after marriage made her a virtuous wife.
But now, she understands.
If you marry a man who truly loves you, he won't want you to suffer.
The life she has now is something she never dared to dream of before.
"Third Aunt, now that you're a princess, will you still be able to come back to Wu Family Village often?"
Da Niu asked reluctantly, a question that was not only hers but also that of her entire family.
"Yes, Wu Family Village is my ancestral home. Once I've finished developing Yunshui County, I'll invite your grandparents over to visit!"
Jiang Yue nodded and gently stroked Da Niu's belly.
A little foot seemed to kick her; it felt tingly, but it was actually quite fun!
After hearing her aunt's words, Da Niu understood.
My third aunt was very filial to her grandparents. If her grandparents hadn't insisted on living with her parents and not wanting to be away from Wujia Village for too long, my third aunt probably would have brought them to Yunshui County to live with them.
In fact, Da Niu's idea was correct.
When Jiang Yue came back this time, she also mentioned this matter to her parents-in-law.
But the two elders were adamant that they would stay in Wujia Village and live with their eldest and second sons in their old age.
Filial piety was one aspect, but on the other hand, they didn't want to constantly trouble her or add to her burden.
Jiang Yue had no choice but to settle for second best, agreeing that once she finished building Yunshui County, she would bring her parents, or rather, her whole family, to Yunshui County for a visit.
The suggestion was agreed upon by the two elders. Indeed, having lived most of their lives, they had only been to Jinling Prefecture once before, and had not been to any other places.
In other words, the trip to Jinling Prefecture made Old Master Wu the center of attention among the old men of Wu Family Village!
Even the old village chief sometimes couldn't stand his old buddies' boasting, and would sulk for days afterward.
It wasn't that she gave birth to someone else's child, but rather her own son!
I've been home for over half a year and I've never heard him say he's taken out to play!
Even in Taohua County, I haven't taken him there more than a few times!
Compared to the others, he was really angry!
The old village chief is angry and hard to appease.
Wu Guanghua was extremely anxious, but no matter how he tried to coax him, he couldn't.
Upon hearing that Princess Jiang was about to leave Wu Family Village, he hurriedly brought gifts and came to ask for help.
"That's easy, it just depends on whether you're willing to part with it."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue immediately came up with a solution.
Yunshui County is very large, and its eight townships are very extensive.
If we had our own people there, they might be able to help the people there escape poverty as soon as possible.
Uncle Village Chief, he's a rare talent!
If we could fool or invite him to govern, perhaps we could improve efficiency in unifying the eight townships and in negotiations.
So she accepted the gift from Wu Guanghua and told Aunt Ge to prepare food and wine, as she was inviting distinguished guests to dinner that evening.
Aunt Ge accepted the order and quickly instructed Qiu Hua and Dong Hua to prepare.
The preparations for January and February were almost complete, including receiving distinguished guests...
Xiaoxue has arranged a marriage with Xu Jinbao, the young man from the Xu family.
This guy is shameless, or rather, persistent.
He coughed, and very sincerely pursued Liu.
Having experienced hardship, Liu was extremely cautious about her daughters' marriages.
After nearly half a year of observation, she felt the sincerity of the Xu family and Xu Jinbao.
So they agreed to first arrange the engagement, and then marry off their daughter the following year when she reached marriageable age (around the time of the Minor Snow solar term).
Yes, that's right, it's about marrying off a daughter, not taking in a son-in-law.
Liu had never considered taking a son-in-law into her household. Her neighbors told her about the benefits of doing so, but she didn't take it seriously.
When Changjun achieves success and fame, he can marry any daughter he chooses, regardless of which one he marries.
She doesn't burden her children; she can support herself in this small family by growing medicinal herbs, even though she's perfectly healthy!
If she really becomes unable to move her hands and feet properly, she can use her savings to hire or buy someone to take care of her.
Even if things don't go well, her children aren't unfilial; they'll take care of her.
After learning about this, Jiang Yue selected two sets of jewelry from her private treasury, one in gold and one in pearl, as a dowry, and personally delivered them over.
After a moment of reflection, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Their lives were actually not good.
But because of his own perseverance and courage, coupled with the success of his children, he defied fate and became the envy of everyone in Wu Village...
After chatting for a while and then taking a nap, I went home and waited quietly.
A distinguished guest has arrived.
