The Mu family handled matters discreetly, which pleased Magistrate Zhao. The Mu family was not an arrogant family.
Brother Mu would occasionally go to the county government office to study farming techniques with the county's agricultural officials. He happened to find a like-minded person, and the two hit it off immediately.
As Mu Erge worked under Lord Zhao, he learned more and more, and became more composed.
The marriage of Mu's youngest son, which was of utmost concern to Mu's mother, was also mentioned by Mu's third aunt. There were a few suitable candidates, and they would need to make further contact.
The Mu family is thriving, with everyone working together towards a common goal.
After returning from the Mu family, Shao Ming wrote a serious article, which was his reflection. It is said that Master Meng was very satisfied, and Shao Ming's face was beaming with smiles for the next few days.
The training ground next door was repaired, and Mu Yi'an asked Steward Li to go to the brokerage firm and buy another servant, a middle-aged man in his thirties with a daughter who was twelve or thirteen years old.
Butler Li also took a liking to the man because of his skill; he used to be a bodyguard for a wealthy family.
Mu Yi'an thought it was a good idea to let her daughter, Wei Yunduo, follow Jiang Qi and become her maid to help take care of Chu Yue.
Currently, among the maids in the household, Fang Mianhua is the oldest, at fourteen years old, Wei Yunduo is twelve, and Li Mei is ten.
Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Fang were in charge of the inner courtyard, while Steward Li, along with Zhao Wu and Wei San, were in charge of the outer courtyard.
Li Li was Jiang Shuyun's page and servant, while eight-year-old Li Qiang basically played with Shao Yun.
Uncle Li and Jiang Shuhe still manage the estate, and the Xu family of five were also bought there with a fixed contract. Manager Qian is doing a good job at the shop; the shop is profitable every day and has gained a group of repeat customers.
Mu Yi'an is very satisfied now. She has extra money at home, her children are sensible, and apart from her husband not being able to come home often, she has no other problems.
Jiang Shuyun returned home a month and a half after leaving. She had gotten a bit fairer and had gained weight.
"Honey, do I look more handsome now?"
"Yeah, you're really good!"
Mu Yi'an was covered in sweat. This bastard, he's inhuman! He just finished dinner, hurriedly put the child to sleep, and then dragged her into the inner room to make a scene.
"Is it amazing now?"
"Yeah, it's like I've taken a super tonic. Bro, let's talk this over. You can't hold it in for over a month and then try to make it all up at once. I can't take it."
Mu Yi'an nudged Jiang Shuyun with her hand. This girl has so much energy.
"This is the last time, honey. I'm in pain. Can't you feel it?"
Jiang Shuyun's coquettish charm worked once again, and Mu Yi'an was too exhausted to continue, so he let her be.
Jiang Shuyun was tireless, but he was also concerned about his wife's health, so he stopped the drums and signaled the troops on the last occasion.
After cleaning them up and changing the sheets, I felt refreshed and cuddled up to my wife to sleep.
Mu Yi'an slept until the sun was high in the sky, and when she got up, she felt some discomfort between her legs.
He cursed Jiang Shuyun in his heart a few times, then tidied up and left the room.
"Honey, come and eat. Sister Li's chicken soup is delicious."
Mu Yi'an ate a large bowl of shredded chicken noodles before she felt alive again.
"Yi'an, go back to the old house to see your parents later."
“Okay, I haven’t been there for a while either. It’s mostly Butler Li who goes there to deliver things.”
A while ago, there was something going on at her parents' home, so Mu Yi'an didn't have time to go back to Jiangjia Village. Mainly, she felt a little uncomfortable going back alone.
"You're busy while I'm away, so your parents won't mind."
Jiang Shuyun knew that Mu Yi'an didn't want to go back alone, and he wasn't there.
After packing up, the two of them, along with the child, Jiang Qi, and some food, rode in the carriage driven by Wei San and returned to Jiangjia Village.
In the courtyard of the Jiang family's old house, Li Qiuniang was brewing medicine.
"Sister-in-law, who is sick?"
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, eldest sister, you're back."
Li Qiuniang was overjoyed; her second brother and sister-in-law had returned, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who is sick? Why didn't they send us a message?"
“It’s our mother. She’s not feeling well. The doctor came to see her and prescribed medicine. She’s been taking it for a few days, but there’s been no improvement. Our father said that if she still doesn’t feel better after taking the medicine today, he’ll take her to the county town.”
Jiang Shuyun and Mu Yi'an quickly went into the room. Jiang's mother was lying on the bed, looking unwell and listless.
"Mother, how are you?"
"Shuyun is back. She's fine; it's just her old ailment."
Jiang's mother was quite happy to see her second son and his wife.
"Let's go to the county town and find a doctor to take a good look at us."
"No need, it's nothing, I'll be fine after some rest."
Jiang's mother didn't want to go to the county town; it was too much trouble.
Jiang Shuyun went to the neighboring school to find her father. She felt that she should go to the county town to see her mother to make sure she was well.
“I was planning to go to the county town tomorrow, but now that you’re back, I’ll take your mother to see her. This habit of hers is something she developed when she was young.”
Jiang's father knew about his wife's health problems. When she was young, the family was not well-off. She took care of the household and had several children, which depleted her health and she couldn't recover.
"Then let's go now. When we get to the county town, we'll go straight to the clinic and see the doctor."
"Alright, you can take your mother with you."
Jiang's father was also worried about his wife, but he was relieved when Shuyun returned.
Jiang Shuyun and Mu Yi'an were busy helping Jiang's mother pack her things, while Li Qiuniang was helping out. Jiang's sister-in-law was nowhere to be seen.
There's not much to pack, just some changes of clothes, everything else is at home.
Mu Yi'an and her group came and went in a hurry; they had barely arrived when they turned back home.
With Sister-in-law Jiang not around, Jiang's mother gave her third daughter-in-law some instructions about things at home. She was really worried!
Upon arriving in the county town, Mu Yi'an and her companions went directly to a familiar clinic, where the doctors were quite good.
