If it weren't for his second brother, he probably wouldn't have thought of leaving. After all, in an unfamiliar place, without anyone to look after him, it would be really difficult to gain a foothold.
The others were still a little nervous and didn't say anything, remaining silent.
"Whoosh...whoosh..."
The carriage stopped; we had arrived at the village.
Wei San, who arrived first, had already informed his wife that their relatives from Jiangjia Village had arrived.
Jiang's parents were peaceful and content, while Jiang Qi stood outside the courtyard, welcoming the guests from afar.
"Uncle, Third Uncle, you must be exhausted from the journey."
Jiang's father helped his great-grandfather, and Mu Yi'an bowed.
"It's alright, the boat ride is quite comfortable."
My third grandfather was in good health, and so was my eldest grandfather; they both worked in the fields year-round and were quite robust.
"Uncle, Aunt, Cousin, Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law..."
Mu Yi'an greeted everyone and invited them to rest in the courtyard.
Looking at the large courtyard in front of them, everyone was a little unsure which foot to step with first.

My mother and I took the women to the inner courtyard. Once they've rested, we can have dinner.
"Okay, go ahead. Shuwen is here too."
Jiang's father reassured Mu Yi'an that he could take care of her.

"Third Grandma, go inside and rest for a while. You'll feel much better after taking a bath."
Mu Yi'an helped the Third Grandmother into the reception room, where there were tatami mats that Mu Yi'an had made.
"Well, I'm really getting old. If I were young, I wouldn't care about such a short distance."
Grandma San was a little seasick and her head was a bit dizzy.
Mu Yi'an told the Third Grandmother to lie down for a while, and the others to find a place to sit and rest. Someone would take them to wash up later.
In any case, the fact that our relatives from Jiangjia Village arrived safely is more important than anything else.
