After Jiang Qi and her family moved in, Jiang's parents also prepared to go back.
"Father, Mother, are you planning to go back tomorrow?"
Jiang Qi knew that Jiang Lan's parents would definitely return before she gave birth. Both she and Jiang Lan were their parents' daughters, and having their parents there during this crucial time of childbirth brought them peace of mind.
"Yes, we're going back tomorrow. Your sister is about to give birth, and Chu Tong and Chu Qing have been away for so long, they need to go back and spend some quality time with their parents."
Jiang's mother knew that her two children could learn a lot and broaden their horizons here. However, just as a dog doesn't despise a poor home, and a child doesn't despise an ugly mother, they needed to understand who their parents were and where their home was.
Besides, Yi'an's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she's already struggling enough to take care of herself. She can't just leave the two children with Yi'an.
"Then, when will Father and Mother come again?"
"After the New Year and the ancestral worship, your second sister-in-law will be giving birth, so we have to come and check on her. Otherwise, we won't feel at ease."
Jiang's mother was also worried about her second daughter-in-law. Although she knew that she was good at managing her subordinates and that the servants were well-trained and handled things very well, she was still uneasy.
“That’s fine too. My father can’t miss the ancestral worship ceremony. After the ceremony, you and my father can come over, and bring Chutong and Chuqing with you too.”
"At that time, my second sister-in-law will be busy taking care of the two younger children, and I will help take care of Chutong and Chuqing. Let them learn more, broaden their horizons, and it will be beneficial for their future lives."
Jiang Qi herself felt deeply that without her second sister-in-law's help, she wouldn't have had such a good life.
"Okay, I understand. I'm happy that you can forgive and forget about your sister-in-law."
What parents want to see most is their children supporting each other.
“Mother, my sister-in-law isn’t a bad person, she’s just too calculating and likes to take advantage of others. Compared to my sister-in-law, Jiang Lan is even more unbearable.”
Jiang Qi knew that when she returned home after her divorce, Jiang Lan had a huge fight with her parents because she was afraid that the divorce would delay her marriage. It was a real fight, with a sense of mortal conflict.
The eldest sister-in-law had her own little scheme in mind. She thought that if Jiang Lan found a good husband in the future, they could benefit from it and also chime in from the sidelines.
She didn't have high expectations of her elder brother and sister-in-law, nor was she particularly disappointed. Her sister-in-law wasn't her biological sister, so it was understandable that she didn't consider her own needs.
But Jiang Lan was his own younger sister, the sister he had cherished since childhood. This disappointment was profound and unforgettable.
"Your mother understands. Just like your father said, how you get along is up to you. Your father and I won't force you. But if you really encounter a life-or-death situation, you should help if you can and not stand idly by."
Although Jiang's mother was upset, she wouldn't force them.
"Mother, are you and Father going back by yourselves?"
"No, your second sister-in-law sent the guards to escort us back, and Granny Xing is with us too."
Jiang's mother had already packed her things, and Yi'an had also told her to have Zhao Wu take them back.
"Mother, take this."
Jiang Qi knew that her second sister-in-law would make proper arrangements, so she didn't say much. She slipped her mother a fifty-tael note, which was specially instructed by her family's doctor, Dr. Chu.
"Why are you giving me these silver notes, and so many of them at that? Your father and I are not short of money. Take them back quickly; we just moved here and we'll need money for many things."
Jiang's mother refused to accept the money and instead gave the banknotes to Jiang Qi.
"Mom, this is what your son-in-law told me to do, so I have to follow his instructions. It's not much, so just take it. Keep it and you and Dad can buy something you like."
Jiang Qi knew that her parents were staying with her second brother and sister-in-law and had no shortage of clothes or anything else, so she decided to give them money.
"Okay, I'll keep it."
Jiang's mother knew that this was a gift from her daughter and son-in-law, and she did not refuse it.
Jiang Qi talked with her mother for a long time before leaving after lunch.
Jiang Shuyun rested the next day.
"Yi'an, take good care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."
"I understand, Mother. After you go back, you should also take care to rest. If you are worried about your sister-in-law, you can go to the county town as soon as possible. The house key is with Shuwen."
Mu Yi'an was worried that Jiang's parents wouldn't be used to living at the Zhou family's house, so she suggested that they move to their own house in the county town.
"Okay, we understand."
Jiang's mother wanted to go to the county town as soon as possible. They didn't plan to stay at the Zhou family's house; they weren't used to it.
After Shuwen told her that she could stay there, Yi'an felt even more at ease.
Jiang Shuyun escorted Jiang's father and mother to the dock, where Jiang Qi and Doctor Chu also arrived.
After seeing Jiang's parents off, Mu Yi'an planned to start working on the barbecue shop.
She had previously asked her third uncle, and he said that various forces and families were involved in the business in the north of the city. As long as they followed the rules and didn't engage in malicious competition, they would be fine.
Mu Yi'an felt that the Dali Dynasty was managed quite well, and with his third uncle and Shuyun's identities, starting a small business wouldn't be a problem.
"Shuyun, since you're off today, come with me to the estate. It's been a while since I've been there."
"Okay, you should go and relax too."
Jiang Shuyun has basically adapted now. As Yi'an's belly grows bigger every day, he no longer gets startled.
"Let's go, let's take the children with us."
"Alright, let them get some fresh air too."
Mu Yi'an asked Sister Fang to prepare, and Sister Wei to call the children.
The family boarded a carriage and went to the village outside the city.
Several months have passed, and Zhuangzi has changed quite a bit.
The wall has been repaired, so there's no fear of someone suddenly breaking in.
As the carriage traveled along the field, the crops were growing well.
