I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

"Grandma Xie is the old nanny next to my grandmother. She was specially brought here. She has been busy for most of the day. She must go and eat something..."

Fu Jichang explained.

Ji Xiaobei's stomach growled twice. She glared at Fu Jichang, turned her head and smiled at Grandma Xie, saying, "Thank you, Grandma..."

Fu Jichang looked at Grandma Xie with gratitude.

The two of them walked into the kitchen together.

Granny Xie had already set the table with the food, a large table full of tempting dishes with a good mix of meat and vegetables.

Granny Xie placed a bowl of soup in front of Ji Xiaobei and said, "Miss Ji, this is sweet potato soup, specially made for you!"

Ji Xiaobei likes to eat sweet potatoes, they are sweet and delicious.

She smiled and thanked her mother-in-law.

Fu Jichang saw that he didn't ask, "What about mine?"

Granny Xie was stunned and said, "Young Master has never liked sweet porridge since he was a child. I made some seaweed and shrimp soup and will serve it to you right away!"

"Thank you, grandma. Who said I don't like sweet porridge..."

"Ah..." The mother-in-law reacted quickly and said, "I remembered it wrong. I will serve it to you right away!"

Granny Xie brought a bowl of sweet potato soup and gave it to Fu Jichang.

Ji Xiaobei looked at the braised spareribs and her mouth was watering with greed. She picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

"Well, it's delicious, it's really delicious!"

She ate five pieces in a row and then started eating sweet and sour fish.

"Mother-in-law, your cooking is so delicious!" Ji Xiaobei praised while eating.

"My mother-in-law has been a professional cook for 50 years. It would be strange if the food is not delicious. You can try this, her specialty, braised pig's trotters..." Fu Jichang put a large piece of pig's trotters into Ji Xiaobei's bowl.

Ji Xiaobei accepted it with a smile.

Granny Xie couldn't help it any longer, she took a piece of the fried water chestnut with black fungus that was placed in front of Ji Xiaobei and gave it to Ji Xiaobei with her chopsticks.

He smiled and said, "Miss Ji, have some food..."

"Oh, okay, Grandma Xie, you can go eat too, I can do it myself!"

Ji Xiaobei said.

"Miss Ji, this stewed cabbage with mushrooms is also delicious!" Grandma Xie gave her some more.

Ji Xiaobei: Thank you. My bowl is full. I will do it myself. I won’t be polite. Don’t worry.

The two of them ate without even looking up. The meat dishes were all gone, and the vegetarian dishes were barely touched...

Granny Xie was worried. She suggested that Granny Fu let the two of them eat separately and let Miss Ji eat more vegetables. It would be good for her...

But Mrs. Fu insisted that they eat together.

She just asked Granny Xie to cook some digestive soup for Ji Xiaobei to drink...

When Old Lady Fu was pregnant with Fu Jichang's father, she ate a lot, but she was never idle. She accompanied her husband in practicing martial arts, doing housework, and managing the affairs of the mansion.

It's not difficult at all during production.

Ji Xiaobei is very busy every day and never idle for a moment, so there shouldn't be any chance of a difficult delivery.

She had also asked Nanny Zhang to invite a midwife over and everything was ready.

Grandma Xie had no choice but to obey Old Lady Fu.

Fu Jichang saw Ji Xiaobei eating happily and said, "This food suits your taste. Eat more!"

Ji Xiaobei kept nodding.

After taking the last bite, she felt relaxed all over.

"Thank you, Madam. I won't be eating dinner tonight. Just some salad will be fine!" Ji Xiaobei said with a smile.

Aunt Xie: What what?

"Ah, Madam Xie, please prepare some seasonal vegetables that can be eaten raw, wash them, and put them on the plate..."

After saying this, Ji Xiaobei stood up and left.

Aunt Xie expressed her satisfaction: We should eat less at night!

Fu Jichang: "Thank you, Madam, please prepare two plates..."

Fu Jichang also left.

"Young Master, you can't eat that. You need to replenish your body... Hey..." Nanny Xie shouted from behind.

.

Ji Xiaobei returned to the workshop and handed the account book to Liang Yuyao.

As soon as she entered the door, Danfeng came out and said with a smile: "Miss Ji is here, my daughter just said she was going to report the accounts to you!"

"Sister Xiaobei, please come in!" Liang Yu shook his head and closed the account book in his hand.

"I just bought a farm in East City. I got back the account books for the past two years. Yuyao, can you please help me take a look? There are more than ten acres of fruit trees and more than ten acres of farmland behind the farm. This is the source of annual income..."

Ji Xiaobei said as he handed the account book to Danfeng.

Danfeng took the account book and was shocked, and almost dropped it on the ground.

"Girl... this..."

"What's wrong? Bring it here and let me see..."

Yu Yao chuckled.

Danfeng handed the account book to her daughter with trembling hands.

Liang Yuyao took just one look and was stunned.

Ji Xiaobei looked at the stunned master and servant in confusion.

Liang Yuyao stroked the account book, tears streaming down her face.

Danfeng also burst into tears.

It took Liang Yuyao a long time to stop crying.

"Sister Xiaobei, was this farm sold to you by my father?" Liang Yu asked.

Ji Xiaobei: Ah...is this your family’s farm?

"No, I didn't see the master, I only saw an old butler!" Ji Xiaobei said truthfully.

"When my mother got married, my grandmother gave her a lot of dowry, including farmland, shops, houses, and countless jewelry and brocade. For the sake of my father's official career, my mother sold some of her things to help him. My father finally became a prefect, but my mother passed away due to overwork.

My father remarried, and my stepmother continued to sell off the family property. This farm might be the last one left... They sold off everything my mother left..."

Ji Xiaobei: …

Liang Yuyao wiped his eyes and continued, "But it's good. Zhuangzi has fallen into Miss Ji's hands. I feel more at ease..."

Ji Xiaobei said: "I was a little hasty when I bought it, I just thought Zhuangzi was good..."

"I used to take care of the accounts of this farm, so I'm familiar with it. After I looked at it, I told my sister that I roughly know how many houses on the farm need to be repaired. They should have been repaired two years ago..."

Ji Xiaobei stayed in Liang Yuyao's room for an hour and went through the accounts of the two workshops and the farm.

In her heart, she admired Liang Yuyao: he really came from a wealthy family, and his accounts were so clear.

"Miss Liang, the shoes you made are very suitable for Shitou to wear. He asked me to thank you!" Ji Xiaobei said with a smile, "He also said that Miss Liang has a hard time managing the accounts and should take care of her health."

Miss Liang's face turned red...

Ji Xiaobei went to see the batch of goods for Zheng Guo again. After checking the samples, he found that Haixia Niang and the others were working hard to make them.

Haixia Niang and Aunt Song had red eyes and worked hard by lighting lamps every day.

After Ji Xiaobei came out of the workshop, he went to Nanjiao Market.

Huang Po and Lian Feng were still surrounded by a lot of people.

Ji Xiaobei went into the market without stopping.

She wants to find the embroiderer.

She went straight to the place where cloth and fabrics were sold.

Walking around the shop and coming to the open space at the back, I saw many baskets placed on the ground from afar.

The basket was turned upside down, with embroidery work placed on top.

Behind each basket there was a woman sitting, busy with needlework with her head down.
