The three Lu Tiewei brothers walked back and forth in the main hall until Lu Guihua and Old Man Yang came out, and they stepped forward to question them.
"Sister (third sister), what did you say to Zihao and the others?" the three Lu Tiewei brothers said in unison.
"This has nothing to do with you. If you want to know, ask your son. Mom and Dad, let's go to your room. Your daughter has something to say to you." Lu Guihua ignored her brother and younger brother and helped Jiang Meixue to her parents' room.
The three brothers Lu Tiewei wanted to follow, but were stopped by Bai Chen and others.
"Mom and Dad, here are two hundred taels of silver, one hundred taels for each of you. It's a gift from your son-in-law to you." Lu Guihua took the purse from Old Man Yang and gave one to Jiang Meixue and one to Lu Shouchang.
"Guihua, we don't want it. You can take it back." Jiang Meixue refused to take the silver. Two hundred taels was really too much. It would be better to leave it to her daughter.
"Dad and Mom, please use it. My husband gave each family 500 taels because he hopes they can treat you well. Don't tell anyone about the other 200 taels. Keep it for yourselves and eat whatever you want. Don't save it, and don't give it to your older brother or younger brother." Lu Guihua said.
"Okay, we'll take it," Jiang Meixue and Lu Shouchang said. Since it was a kind gift from their daughter and son-in-law, they accepted it.
"Mom and Dad, take care! We're leaving." After saying this, Lu Guihua took Old Man Yang out of the room, returned to the main hall, and then asked everyone to get on the carriage and return to Taohua Village.
The three Lu Tiewei brothers called out from behind the carriage, "Sister (third sister), don't you want to take your parents to enjoy life?"
Lu Guihua ignored them. Their son caught them and stopped them from shouting. He also warned Lu Tiewei and others that if they dared to cause trouble for her, she would kick them out of the house and would not provide them with support in their old age.
Jiang Meixue and Lu Shouchang also warned them that if they went to look for their daughter, they would disown them and drive them out of Lujia Village. Only then did they let them stay quiet and stay at home as masters.
The five brothers Lu Zihao agreed that each family would contribute 100 taels to build a house, and use the rest to do some small business and send their children to school.
Lü Tieguang's son gave him two hundred taels of silver to build a house, as he was the only son in the family. He planned to build a house with four courtyards, one for each family, and one for grandparents.
After arranging the construction of the house, they asked their family to plant sweet potato seedlings and potatoes.
Old Man Yang took everyone to have lunch in Guangyang Town before returning to Taohua Village.
When they returned to the village, it was already time for dinner. Yang Zhongxin also brought Bai Yu and Bai Jun back, and everyone had dinner happily.
The days passed one by one, and ten days had passed. During these ten days, the cake shop, milk tea shop, and clothing store had opened. The three stores opened at the same time, and their business was booming, not inferior to the hot pot restaurant and Yang's Restaurant.
The wastelands in Taohua Village, Wujia Village and Huangjia Village have been reclaimed, Youxue's rice experiment has been successful, and Huang Fuhai has also delivered ten harrows and wooden plows one after another. He also brought good news that Huang Lifang and Zhang Liangcai finally separated from the Zhang family, but they did not ask for a house, only two acres of wasteland.
Yang Youxue asked Old Man Yang to have someone plow the land as she wanted to plant rice.
During these ten days, Yang Youxue not only taught Huang Kangming to identify herbs but also began teaching him pulse diagnosis. Most importantly, Yang Youxue had already begun preparing medicine. She personally built a medicine furnace, cut a small portion of the ginseng king into pieces, and used other herbs to create fifteen life-saving pills, each capable of preserving the patient for five hours, provided they were still alive.
Villagers from Taohualing had also gone to open up the wasteland. Yang Youxue gave each of them some sachets to carry with them. These sachets repelled snakes, insects, rats, and ants, and also kept wild animals at bay. Of course, while the villagers were on Taohualing, Yang Youxue had already sent Bai Chen and his team up the mountain to hunt down ferocious wild animals, so they were now safe.
"Girl, go and see if Uncle Dahu is doing the right thing?" Yang Dahu had already built the four walls and the project equipment inside was also ready. He asked Yang Youxue to go and inspect it.
"It's done so quickly, Uncle Yang is really fast. Let's go and take a look." Yang Youxue said happily.
The two men came to the back of the yard and saw that there were indeed three-meter-high walls on all four sides.
Yang Dahu opened the door and took Yang Youxue in.
The projects and equipment inside made Yang Youxue feel like she was back in the killer camp. Although some projects were missing, these were enough to exercise her body.
Yang Youxue arrived at the parallel bars, only a meter high, and began training. It was this feeling that brought her back to her past life, when she'd been brought back to the assassin camp by the Eagle King for her first training session. It was also with that tiny body, unable to hold onto the bars, that the Eagle King had beaten her and denied her food. Remembering that, Yang Youxue couldn't help but shed tears.
Far away in the military camp at the border, Liang Junhao gazed at the project equipment before him and recalled memories of his past life. He recalled the first time the Eagle King brought him back to the assassin camp and the moment he saw Yang Youxue on the training ground. He was only two years old then, even smaller than he is now, unable to hold onto the parallel bars. The Eagle King hung him up and beat him, then locked him in the darkroom and denied him food. It was Youxue who secretly brought him steamed buns, encouraging him not to give up. She also told him that every new child would be beaten, then put in solitary confinement and starved.
From that time on, he fell in love with the little girl who gave him steamed buns and encouraged him.
