Zhiyin drove the mule cart at breakneck speed toward home, thinking of Zhihua and Yao Yulin, and felt a strange sense of anticipation and joy in her heart as she returned home.
Before we knew it, she had been in this world for two or three months. Time really flies!
"I wonder if Huahua has grown taller? Has she gained weight? Is anyone bullying them?"
The closer they got to home, the more excited Zhiyin became, and she couldn't help but think about many things.
Time passed by, second by second, and soon, Zhiyin saw Yao Yulin lying leisurely in the sun at the entrance of the chicken and duck coop through the fence.
"Mother~"
Zhiyin immediately waved and greeted her excitedly.
At the same time, he quickly got off the mule cart and ran inside.
Yao Yulin was dozing off in the sunlight when she vaguely heard someone calling her, but she thought she was dreaming.
Until a shadow fell in front of her, the excited howls of Coal Ball and Round and Cute continued to ring in her ears.
She suddenly woke up and saw that Zhiyin was already playing with Yuanyuan, Mengmeng, and Meiqiu with her back to her.
"Yinyin? You're back!"
Yao Yulin stared in disbelief at Zhiyin's retreating figure, then suddenly sprang up, excitedly pulling Zhiyin to look her over from all sides.
"Oh dear, you've lost weight. Have you been too busy these days and haven't been eating properly?"
She spoke with a mixture of joy and complaint, her words tinged with undisguised delight. She quickly pulled Zhiyin along, hurrying towards home. "Come on, you must be tired these days! Let Mom make you something delicious!"
Zhiyin just smiled at her, affectionately took her hand and rubbed against her, "Hehe, Mom, I'm not tired. Come on, I brought you and Huahua some delicious food."
"That's great! She didn't go to the private school today because she was painting; she's reviewing her lessons now. She'll be taking the prefectural exam in a couple of days!"
…
The two walked slowly toward home, flanked by two tiger cubs and a puppy on either side of them.
A ray of sunlight poured down, making their figures appear exceptionally long and graceful, exuding tranquility and serenity.
…
"Hey, drawing, your sister's back! Come out and get your things."
As soon as Zhiyin got off the mule cart, he excitedly shouted towards the thatched hut.
While shouting, he and Yao Yulin carried the things they had bought downstairs.
"Wow, it's my sister who's back."
Zhihua was studying when she heard her older sister's voice. She froze, her eyes filled with excitement and joy. She couldn't wait to put down her pen and burst out of the room like a little cannonball.
Wow, so much food!
When she saw the pile of milk tea, the fragrant dry pot, and even the pastries on the ground, her eyes instantly lit up with joy.
"Hehe, I also bought a bolt of cloth for you and Mother. I originally wanted to buy ready-made clothes, but I was afraid they wouldn't fit, so I didn't buy them for now."
After saying that, Zhiyin happily and impatiently took out a piece of green cloth and a piece of purple cloth and gestured with them to the two people's bodies.
The moment the cloth was taken out, Yao Yulin's eyes widened in disbelief, and she touched it curiously.
When he felt the soft, smooth, and noticeably lustrous fabric, he gaped and looked at his friend, exclaiming, "My God, is this silk?"
"This is for wealthy families, it's very expensive. Why did you buy such expensive fabric?"
She complained that it was too expensive, but her hands just wouldn't leave the cloth, her eyes shining brightly, clearly delighted.
"Haha, this is nothing. When our daughter makes a lot of money in the future, we'll buy you all fine clothes!"
Zhiyin smiled and put her arm around Yao Yulin's shoulder as they walked home, saying, "You two are destined for great fortune!"
"I'll fight for you and get you a title in the future! I'll make you the most respected woman in the whole area!"
"Oh my, you really dare to dream! That's an imperial title!"
Yao Yulin was immediately amused by her kindred spirit's words, and covered her mouth, shaking her head and chuckling softly.
She took it as her confidant teasing her, after all, she was a titled lady!
She didn't even dare to think about it!
I had only heard the term mentioned by the old lady of the Zhi family before.
"Hehe~ Mother, I can also earn an imperial title for you!!"
Zhihua was eagerly drinking her milk tea when she heard this. Not to be outdone, she put down her milk tea and looked at Yao Yulin firmly!
"Hahaha, good, good, good, let's all earn it, then Mom will be waiting."
Seeing how obedient, sensible, and filial the two children were, Yao Yulin couldn't stop smiling.
The three of them, along with Yuanyuan, Mengmeng, and Meiqiu, sat down happily, chatting and showing off the desserts, milk tea, and dry pot that their friend had brought back.
The room was filled with the sounds of laughter and chatter, as well as the occasional barking of dogs and roars of tigers.
The three of them cuddled together sweetly for a while before Zhiyin suggested going to see the new house.
"By the way, has it been cleaned yet? Cleaning is hard work!"
As Zhiyin looked at the exterior of her new house with satisfaction, she asked curiously.
"Sweeped! Although Dazhuang and his helpers haven't been working these past few days, they've all been helping with the cleaning."
Yao Yulin patted Zhiyin's hand reassuringly and said with a smile.
At the same time, she opened the door, gesturing for her confidante to walk in with her.
The room was clean and tidy, without a speck of dust, but it seemed unusually spacious because it hadn't been furnished yet.
Zhiyin looked through the main room, kitchen, study, and bedroom one by one, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
Each bedroom is large and mostly faces the sun, giving a sunny and comfortable feeling.
"That's great, now all that's left is to buy furniture to fill the house."
As she spoke, Zhiyin looked at Yao Yulin and Zhihua, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Huahua, which room do you want?"
"Choose one yourself, and then we'll pick out wardrobes, beds, dressing tables, etc., according to our preferred style..."
As he spoke of kindred spirits, he also began to ponder in his heart.
A large walk-in closet is a must!! As a woman who loves beauty, this is absolutely indispensable!
Hehe~ I can draw anything!
Zhihua wasn't picky; in fact, she liked every room. After all these years, she was finally going to have her own room, and she was genuinely excited and happy.
Not only her, but Yao Yulin was also very excited.
They used to sleep together all the time, but now that they're separated, I feel a sense of loss, as if my daughters have all grown up in an instant, but I'm mostly happy.
"Okay, I'll go find a carpenter later to make us a custom bed, table, chairs and benches."
Seeing this, Zhiyin simply smiled and walked out of the house with the three of them.
As she went out, she ran into her second brother and sister-in-law, who had come to see her after hearing that she had returned.
Now, my second sister-in-law is probably radiant because she has her own career and is making money. She is no longer as dejected as before.
