Xiao Yu moved his lips, wanting to tell Chen Qingqing the truth that he had regained his memories, but he swallowed the words back.
He was afraid that if he revealed the truth, Chen Qingqing would no longer treat him the same as before. After all, his identity was special, so it was better not to say anything.
He pretended to be clueless again, blinking at Chen Qingqing, "I wasn't thinking about anything. I was just wondering what my wife wants to do most. Is it to be a businesswoman and make money?"
"Of course not, why would you ask that?"
Xiao Yu fell silent. Ever since he woke up, he knew that Chen Qingqing had been busy making and selling candy, keeping herself incredibly busy.
Therefore, it was concluded that she liked making money and being a businesswoman.
He made a decision in his heart: as long as he sat in that position, he would make her the richest merchant in the Great Ning Dynasty.
"Because my wife knows that I love wontons the most, I also want to know what my wife likes to do?"
Chen Qingqing shook her head and smiled, "Making money through business is just to give my family a better life. I don't want the people who love me to go hungry and live a hard life, so I want to make money to change all of this."
But my favorite thing isn't business, it's medicine. My wish is to open a clinic, take on many apprentices, teach them my medical skills, and then open clinics throughout the entire Da Ning Dynasty, so that all the poor people can afford medical treatment and medicine, and no longer suffer from illness.
Chen Qingqing's eyes shone with hope, filled with fantasies about the future. These thoughts echoed countless times in her mind, but she never uttered them to anyone.
This is her dream, the goal she will strive for her whole life. Although she may not be able to achieve it, she will definitely try her best.
Xiaoyu was just asking casually, wanting to know how to repay the kindness in the future, but she did not expect Chen Qingqing to be so broad-minded and have the people of the world in her heart. She was really just a country girl who grew up in the countryside.
At that moment, the light shining in Chen Qingqing's eyes stirred up a storm in Xiaoyu's heart, completely overturning her perception of her. Beneath her seemingly ordinary appearance lay a heart full of compassion for all living beings.
"My wife, I believe in you. You can do it."
Seeing Xiaoyu's serious expression, as if he understood her words, Chen Qingqing gently patted him and gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"I don't believe it, but you actually believe I can do it. My little fish is getting better and better at talking."
Although Chen Qingqing has been my little fish for the past six months, saying "however" to me, it sounded particularly pleasant today, and the little fish couldn't help but smile.
Just as he was in a daze, he heard Chen Qingqing teasingly say, "Oh my, my Xiaoyu has a very handsome smile, he's definitely a good-looking guy. If he weren't so silly, he would attract the attention of so many young women and wives!"
Teasing, blatant teasing.
If this happened in Kyoto, which noblewoman would dare to speak ill of him like that? The consequences would be dire.
But now, hearing Chen Qingqing praise him sounds especially pleasant, because he's a fool!
As the two were talking, Da Bao walked in.
Chen Qingqing quickly stood up and asked, "Dabao, how did you resolve today's matter?"
“We’ve already divided the family property. Apart from the four acres of sandy land in Xishan, we didn’t get anything. We didn’t even get the house. We still have to give Grandpa and Grandma two hundred coins a year as a filial piety gift.” Da Bao’s tone was relaxed, and he was not discouraged by the unfair division of the family property.
Chen Qingqing was genuinely happy for the second wife, saying, "It's good that you're separated. If you don't have a place to live, just move in. My family has room."
"No need, Sister Qingqing. The village head has already agreed to let us move to his old house temporarily, so we won't trouble you."
“Alright, in that case, you can stay at the Wu family’s old house for now.” Chen Qingqing paused for a moment, then asked, “Dabao, what are your parents’ plans? If you want to work, you can come to Tangfang to help out. The pay is the same as everyone else’s, ten coins a day.”
"That's great! My parents won't have to worry about making a living anymore." Da Bao's face lit up with joy. "Thank you, Sister Qingqing. I'm determined to live a good life and show the old family that we can still make a good living without them."
"You can do it. You're managing all the affairs of our sugar shop now. You're already a qualified manager. As long as you work hard, things will definitely get better and better."
"Sister, I will definitely try my best."
As Da Bao spoke, he changed the subject.
"Sister Qingqing, my family doesn't even have rice or flour right now, let alone pots and pans. Could you lend me some grain and cooking utensils? I'll go to town tomorrow to buy them and then pay you back."
"The people in the old house are really ruthless." Chen Qingqing shook her head and smiled. "My family has extra cooking utensils, so feel free to take them and use them. You don't need to return them. There will be many places where we need money in the future, so we should save where we can."
"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Qingqing."
"Let's go, come with me to get the things."
Upon arriving at the kitchen, Chen Qingqing, knowing the difficulties of the early days of the family separation, brought out all the commonly used household items.
Then he stuffed millet, polished rice, and various oils, salts, and seasonings into the bamboo basket.
Then he and Da Bao headed towards the Wu family's old house.
At this moment, Chen Zhanliang was not happy about the division of the family property, but sat listlessly in the courtyard in a daze.
Recalling the touching moment when Old Chen carried him back from the perilous Wolf Valley, he vowed to take good care of his parents.
But to his surprise, they set their sights on the second child. How could he forgive such heartless parents?
For the sake of the second child and for the sake of his wife, they have to separate the family.
Now that the family has separated, will the third son truly be able to take care of his parents in the future?
If he is heartless and cruel, can I really turn a blind eye?
He grew increasingly saddened, for himself, and for his parents...
