Under the moonlight, Li Lanzhen went to Lu Boyan's courtyard.
Upon entering his courtyard, he placed all the items he had taken from the Lu residence there.
The second day after Lu Boyan arrived at Peach Blossom Spring.
Li Lanzhen then pulled Tingyu aside and told him in detail about that day, about everything that happened during her half-day trip to the Lu residence.
And he was told that their things would be delivered in a couple of days.
Lu Boyan held the severance document and the household registration certificate of his family of four, which Li Lanzhen handed over with both hands.
And, inside the box was the thousand taels of silver from the sale of the estate and shop.
His eyes welled up with tears.
Since his mother passed away, he had never felt that anyone cared for him so much, giving him the warmth of family.
He turned away and wiped away his tears.
He walked up to Li Lanzhen and bowed deeply.
"Aunt Lanzhen, in this world, I have no relatives other than my wife and children."
From this day forward, you are family to me!
Li Lanzhen waved her hand and said.
"Alright, even if you don't say anything, I will still consider your family as my own."
These are what you deserve. Once Manniang recovers, the four of you can live a good life together.
Lu Boyan's wife was named Yu Man, so Li Lanzhen called her Man Niang.
After putting her things in the yard, Li Lanzhen turned and left the yard.
Looking up at the starry sky, there are still more than half a month until the Lunar New Year.
Recently, no one has gone up the mountain anymore; everyone is doing their own thing in the village.
In the greenhouse vegetable field, a batch of tomatoes and cucumbers have ripened and been picked and packed into baskets.
Li Lanzhen used the nighttime hours to place them all in the space.
The second batch of tomatoes and cucumbers will be ready for harvest in a few days, and the quantity will be even greater.
Moreover, the second crop of chives, as well as other leafy greens, can also be harvested.
Han Shunde thought he should pick more vegetables at once and send them to Manager Hua of Sifang Restaurant in Youzhou City.
It should be within the next day or two.
Li Lanzhen was thinking about the grain and silver she had received from the Jia family.
This time, before delivering food to Sifang Restaurant, I need to stop by the bookstore to leave the grain and silver, and leave a note for the bookstore owner.
These funds will be used to support academically excellent but impoverished scholars, enabling them to purchase writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.
After this batch of vegetables is delivered, we estimate that another batch can be delivered during the Chinese New Year period.
In the past few days, Li Lanzhen heard that Han Shunde and the others had decided to use the money they earned from selling vegetables last time to first buy some grain, and then buy coarse cloth and cotton cloth for each household.
It's almost Chinese New Year, and everyone takes things home to make their own clothes for the holiday.
We also need to buy salt, brown sugar, maltose, and other daily necessities.
Li Lanzhen remained silent this time, and she did not intend to take out food and other supplies from her space to give to everyone for free.
Peach Blossom Spring has now entered a virtuous cycle of production and daily demand.
The villagers use their hard work to grow grains and vegetables and harvest mountain products, then exchange them for grain and money to buy the daily necessities they need.
In addition to delivering vegetables to greenhouses, each household brought their own stored eggs and other items.
They all wanted them to take the money to the city, sell it, and bring it back with silver, and Li Lanzhen did not refuse.
Han Shunde and his team assigned someone to register the types and quantities of items that each household wanted to sell over the past two days.
Li Lanzhen went over and took a look; there were also mountain products picked by various families from the mountains.
The wood ear mushrooms and other mushrooms were dried and cleaned very well, along with a lot of dried wild vegetables.
Some families found wild duck eggs in the reed marshes. According to village regulations, after handing over a portion to the village, they had to take the rest to the city to exchange for silver.
So, in addition to vegetables, there were more than a dozen baskets of various things to be sent to Sifang Restaurant.
Li Lianzhen was actually quite happy to see this.
This shows that people are constantly trying to improve their lives.
Anyway, I can just put everything in my spatial storage and transport it down the mountain, then wait for the Sifang Restaurant's carriage to come and pick it up.
Li Lanzhen was still hoping that if the imperial court could settle them smoothly next spring.
She wanted to use Silver Fox or Manager Hua of the Fourth and Ninth Floors to make some connections within the government.
Let them continue to live in Peach Blossom Spring.
She also spoke with the eleven children of Xinghua Sanwang about Lishu Village.
They still want to go back to Lishu Village and settle down.
However, Li Lanzhen was worried about leaving her dozen or so children to live in the village.
Shanxing and Sanwang told Li Lanzhen to keep an eye out for people who had fled famine.
If anyone is willing to settle in their village, they can get a document from the government and register their household there.
The two of them also told Li Lanzhen about their worries.
They were afraid that all sorts of wicked people would come to their village, and that their dozen or so children couldn't possibly defeat them.
Li Lanzhen also considered this aspect, so she nodded in agreement.
She didn't want to attract villains and scoundrels, as that would also be a threat to Peach Blossom Spring.
She planned to go and settle this matter with Manager Hua after the New Year.
After Li Lanzhen left Lu Boyan's courtyard.
Lu Boyan pushed open the door of the main room and stood in the courtyard.
Upon seeing the contents of the courtyard, he bowed deeply once again towards the gate.
He would lift his face, tears streaming down his face, but the darkness concealed his vulnerability and his emotions.
At the Lu residence, in front of his frail wife and young children, he always held on, believing that as a man, he had to support his family.
Until that day, the stepmother pushed her own wife, who was three months pregnant, to the ground. Her stomach hit the corner of the table, and blood flowed freely...
So he asked his stepmother for money so he could fetch a doctor, but she refused and left without a word.
His own father ignored his pleading eyes and followed him out of the main room.
At that moment, his heart died. After his mother passed away, he always studied hard and tried his best to participate in the imperial examinations, hoping to win a caring look from his father.
But it has never happened!
At that moment, seeing the blood all over the ground, his unconscious wife, and his crying children, his heart died!
He picked up his wife and ran into the street, bursting into the clinic.
His wife lost her baby and remained in a coma. The doctor told him that it would be difficult for her to conceive again, and that she needed to take good care of herself and not do any heavy work. Otherwise, he should prepare for his death.
He returned to the Lu residence with his wife, distraught, and entered his secluded little courtyard.
He sat by his wife's bedside for half an hour before finally making up his mind that night, his family would escape from the Lu mansion and go back to their own lives!
Fortunately, he met Li Lanzhen. Otherwise, his children would have either died or been seriously injured, and his wife would have left him without medicine. He would have been left alone in this world, and he couldn't have lived on alone!
Lu Boyan wandered around the things in the courtyard.
Tears kept flowing!
Lu Boyan misses his mother...
He didn't sleep all night, and slowly moved his things home.
For the large pieces of furniture, we'll have to wait until the next day and ask Han Mingxiang and a few others to come and help move them.
Lu Boyan was very curious and envious of Han Mingxiang's great strength.
He looked thin and scholarly, yet he possessed such great strength!
He thought he should also exercise properly and do morning exercises with the children every day.
Only with good health can I protect my wife and children and continue to participate in scientific expeditions!
