The 23rd Century's domestically produced sleeping aid, different from sleeping pills, is a sleeping aid substance extracted from Chinese herbal medicine. It is colorless and odorless, not only harmless to the body, but also has the effect of helping sleep and benefiting the body.

Early the next morning, before the hour of Mao, the village chief and his eldest son went around the village beating drums and gongs, shouting at those who were leaving to gather at the threshing ground.

Mother was very alert. When the warm wine came out, she had already put on her clothes.

I took everything I could yesterday, and put all the large items that didn’t fit in the car into the space. There’s nothing much to pack.

Wen Meijiu tidied herself up, quickly woke up Jinxiang and Lanling, and asked them to get dressed, then her mother came in.

Mother came in a bit anxiously and said softly, "Meijiu, your father is sleeping so well that I can't wake him up."

Before mother came over, she had been calling father for a long time, but there was no response.

Mother was scared, so she reached out to feel father's breath. Only when she felt his breathing did she breathe a sigh of relief and come looking for him.

Wen Meijiu showed a look of surprise on his face and asked, "Is Dad too tired recently?"

Mother said: "No, I go to bed at normal times."

Wen Meijiu thought about it, and then he said as if he suddenly realized something:

“I know, it’s probably because Dad knew I was leaving and was too nervous.

Some people cannot enter into a deep sleep when they are nervous. They seem to be asleep, but their minds are still full of thoughts.

Dad is a worrier, maybe he woke up in the middle of the night and Mom didn't know."

"Oh, is that so?"

Mother was skeptical. She went to bed late last night and fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow. Of course, she would not notice it in the middle of the night.

Wen Meijiu struck while the iron was hot and said, "That must be the case. Anyway, Dad can't get off the car while he's awake, so let him sleep well."

Since Daddy isn't awake yet, Mom will of course rely on warm wine, so when she says that, Mom can only believe her.

There wasn't much time, so after helping Jinxiang and Lanling pack up, Mother and Wen Meijiu carried Father onto the carriage which was covered with a mattress.

Wen Meijiu was driving the cart in the front, while Niang, Jinxiang and Lanling were sitting in the cart at the back. The family reluctantly left the thatched hut that provided them with shelter from the wind and rain.

When they arrived at the threshing ground, in addition to the village chief's family, there were several other families gathered, all of whom were determined to follow the village chief.

Wen Meijiu looked around but didn't see her grandmother and uncle. Just as she was wondering, she heard a quarrel behind her.

"Mother, my sister-in-law is a woman, so it's not a good idea to let her drive the cart. Why not let my Dalang drive the cart? What do you think?"

The voice belonged to Ren Meiluo. No matter how much she objected before, she began to feel suspicious after seeing all the Wen family members leave.

Finally, after being persuaded by my son, I decided to go with everyone.

But it's not an option to travel a long distance on foot, especially with a lot of luggage. Anyone who's not stupid would know that it's better to take a car.

Ren Meiluo turned his attention to the old lady again.

It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. She brought up her husband as an issue and refused to believe that the old lady would not care.

"Sister-in-law, you are too polite. I am fine driving this car. I won't bother you, brother."

Ma Hui is not stupid. Her family cannot afford this carriage even if it was placed in the past, let alone now.

Once you give away something this expensive, you may never get it back.

She couldn't be careless at this time. When she arrived in Donghai County in the future, she might have to rely on these two carriages to earn money for her son to marry a wife.

Ren Meiluo became furious when he saw Ma Hui being so unkind. After all, he was carrying a heavy basket on his back, so how could he get through the whole journey?

The backpack was thrown and placed on the shaft of the cart. Ren Meiluo stood in front, pulled the reins, glared at Ma Hui, and said unhappily:

"Sister-in-law, it doesn't seem like it's your turn to speak yet? Mom is still here.

The carriage was given to mother by the fine wine, and mother has more than one son, Sanlang, so why does my family have no share?"

Knowing that Ren Meiluo was not easy to mess with, Ma Hui was also in a hurry just now. Now she changed her mind and put on an aggrieved face. She glanced at her mother-in-law who was holding her son and said aggrievedly:

"Sister-in-law, it's mother's idea to let me drive the carriage!

Otherwise, why don't you ask your mother if she agrees?"

Having successfully diverted the conflict, Ma Hui lowered her head and said nothing.

"Old boss' wife, forget about driving the car. If you want, you can squeeze into the car behind."

The old lady is not stupid. She loves her youngest son the most and knows what her eldest daughter-in-law is thinking. Naturally, she will not let them take charge.

The carriage at the back was driven by Sanlang, which was not only carrying a lot of luggage, but also Yuancai was sitting on the other side of the shaft.

The old lady had spoken, and even if Ren Meiluo was unwilling, he knew that it was useless to say more. He curled his lips and very reluctantly asked his son and husband to go to the car behind, which was much better than walking forward with a heavy burden.

"Sister Wine!"

Seeing Wen Meijiu driving in the distance, Yuancai was sharp-eyed and shouted excitedly, and everyone looked in the direction he was shouting.

My God, they even have carriages, two of them!

Everyone's eyes widened, it turned out that the second brother's family was so rich.

When Ren Meiluo saw that there was another carriage following the carriage driven by Wen Meijiu, he immediately lost his composure.

"Mother, if you don't give us a carriage, we won't leave."

When he reached the old lady's carriage, Ren Meiluo threw his backpack to the ground and sat down on it, blocking the road.

It was true that she was trying hard towards the old lady, but her eyes were fixed on Wen Meijiu, and her meaning was very clear: if the old lady didn't want Ma Hui to bleed, then Wen Meijiu would have to bleed.

At this critical juncture, the old lady knew that she couldn't afford to waste time with her, so she patted her body and asked Ma Hui to go find Dong Lanzhi. After all, it's easy to squeeze a weakling.

"Second sister-in-law, mother wants you to come over."

Mother was sitting in the carriage at the back, dozing off while holding Lanling in her arms because she had gotten up too early.

When she heard Ma Hui calling her, she immediately opened her eyes, pushed Lan Ling away and got out of the car.

"Is there something that Mom wants to ask me?"

Mother pretended to follow Ma Hui, but Wen Meijiu was worried, so she asked the village chief to help look after the carriage. She called her mother and followed her.

The old lady didn't expect that Wen Meijiu would follow her. She guiltily lifted up the sleeping Yuanbao in her arms and coughed lightly a few times.

Just now, when the old lady saw that Wenmei Restaurant still had two carriages, she was surprised and a little regretful at the same time. She felt that Wenmei Restaurant had deceived her.

However, Wen Meijiu had already given her two carriages, and she had also written a note, so it was difficult for her to go back on her word.

Therefore, she wanted to interrogate Dong Lanzhi, who was the easiest to control, so as to pass the burden of Ren Meiluo to Erlang's family.

"Lanzhi, even though your sister-in-law was a little too much yesterday, she and Erlang are still siblings.

Your family is in need of a coachman, why not ask your eldest brother to come over and help?"

The old lady knew that Wen Meijiu was the backbone of Erlang's family. Although she was talking to Dong Lanzhi, her eyes unconsciously drifted in the direction of Wen Meijiu.
