Jiang Yuwei first took everyone to the East Street Vegetable Market to buy some things, and then went to Manager Wang to put her custom-made papermaking tools on the cart, which cost a total of one or two taels of silver. After everything was done, she let Ning Huaizhi drive the ox cart back to the village. Ning Qiu and Ning Daya got off the cart at the entrance of the village to pick wild vegetables.

When Jiang Yuwei arrived at the courtyard, she saw Aunt Zhou helping to wash the dishes. She hurried forward and pulled Aunt Zhou aside, saying:

"Stop busying yourself, Aunt Zhou. I'm already bothering you by asking you to help with the cooking, so why should I ask you to help with the dishes? Here, these are the snacks I bought at the market. Take them home and try them."

Aunt Zhou wiped the water off her hands on her apron, took the cake and said with a smile:

"You are just a spendthrift. We farmers don't usually eat any pastries. We don't even dare to step into the pastry shop. I can't finish all these pastries. Please leave some for Wan'er."

Jiang Yuwei waved her hand and said:

"Wan'er has it, Aunt Zhou, don't worry about it. Go back and have a rest. I can't let you do the dishes."

Jiang Yuwei pushed Aunt Zhou out as she spoke. Ning Wan was sensible, and seeing that some dishes were still to be washed, she took the initiative to go forward to clean them. Jiang Yuwei helped Ning Huaizhi to the wheelchair and asked him to wash the pot.

After moving all the things off the cart, she pulled the ox cart to the backyard, then went to the front yard to wash her hands and prepare for dinner. The construction of the backyard would be completed in two days, and the paper mill would be put into use by then. Jiang Yuwei was thinking of passing the papermaking skills to Ning Tiezhu and Ning Wu from Aunt Zhou's family. Jiang Yuwei believed in the character of Aunt Zhou's family.

If the paper mill really grows bigger in the future, he can open a few more branches and let the two of them be the managers, so he can feel more at ease. If the paper mill cannot be successful in the long run, then he can make some money and find another way out. Anyway, Jiang Yuwei has many ideas for making money in his mind.

While thinking about this, Jiang Yuwei washed the vegetables and sliced ​​the pork belly. Today she went to the vegetable market and bought some pork shanks. She would stew bone soup in the evening, and then make a braised fish and a twice-cooked pork, and stir-fry some vegetables.

Jiang Yuwei was busy cooking and asked Ning Huaizhi to light the fire. Ning Wan washed the dishes and ran to Jiang Yuwei with a backpack and said:

"Mom, I see the lambs in the backyard have no grass to eat. I'm going to go cut some grass and come back for dinner later."

Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded:

"Okay, it's going to be dark soon. Remember not to go too far. Just cut some grass near our house. You must get home before dark!"

Ning Wan nodded obediently and went out. Jiang Yuwei was thinking about squeezing some more goat milk and cooking it to drink before going to bed. Just as she picked up the wooden barrel and was about to go to the backyard, she heard the door of her yard being kicked open. When she turned around, she saw Old Man Jiang carrying Mrs. Li, each carrying a bag, rushing in aggressively.

Jiang Yuwei frowned slightly when she saw this, put down the barrel, walked up to the two of them and said coldly:

"What are you doing here? Wasn't the last time you came here embarrassing enough?"

Old man Jiang smiled with his swollen pig face:

"I am your biological father. Is it okay for a biological father to come visit his daughter?"

Seeing this, Mrs. Li also echoed:

"That's right. We are your parents. You can't just live a good life and then disown them. Look at your sister's miserable life. She was sold to a brothel before she even got married. I don't have the money to redeem her. Now I can only pack my bags and come live with you. You let those evil people take your sister away. Then you have to take care of us in our old age."

Jiang Yuwei sneered and said:

"Li Cuihua, you have to understand clearly, first, you are not my mother, second, he is not worthy of being my father, and third, your daughter was sold to a brothel by your gambling husband to pay off a debt, and I have nothing to do with her!"

Li Cuihua was furious when she heard this. She grabbed Old Man Jiang's arm and muttered:

"Look at this ungrateful child you gave birth to. I worked so hard to raise her, but now she turns her back on me and even dares to call me by my first name. She is truly lawless!"

Old Man Jiang was also very angry at what Jiang Yuwei said. With his face flushed and his neck thick, he pointed at Jiang Yuwei's nose and cursed:

"Don't be so shameless. Your mother and I came here today and we won't leave. Let's see what you can do to me!"

As he said that, he pulled Li Cuihua to sit next to the stone table. Li Cuihua had already smelled the aroma of the food. Seeing Old Man Jiang pulling her to sit down, she stopped pretending, threw the bag on her back onto the table, picked up the chopsticks and started picking up the food on the table.

Jiang Yuwei was really shocked by the shamelessness of these two people.

Seeing that Jiang Yuwei was standing there and didn't come up to stop him, Old Man Jiang became a little bolder, picked up his chopsticks and started to pick up the food, muttering as he ate:

"There's not enough fish here. Go make a few more. I see they're boiling bone soup over there. Serve a bowl for me and your mother. You don't have any foresight at all. How can this be possible?"

Li Cuihua also nodded and said:

"Yeah, that's right. Old man, we have to discipline our eldest daughter this time, or her in-laws will say that she is uneducated and doesn't know how to respect her elders. We came all the way here, but she didn't even take our bag and just stood there stupidly!"

Old Man Jiang was provoked by his wife, and he showed his masculine arrogance in the Jiang family. He pointed at the bundle on the ground and shouted at Jiang Yuwei:

"What are you standing there for? Go and carry your bag into the house, and make a room for your mother and me. Make sure it's the biggest one! By the way, we've been walking on the mountain for a long time, and our feet are swollen. Go and boil some hot water. We need to soak our feet before going to bed to relieve our fatigue."

At this time, the villagers who were working in the backyard also came to the front yard to wash their hands and prepare to eat. Seeing that the two people said they were Jiang Yuwei's parents and did not look like someone who was easy to mess with, they all greeted Jiang Yuwei:

"Yuwei, you have guests at home, so we won't eat here tonight. It will be the same if we go back home to eat."

Jiang Yuwei waved her hand and said:

"Don't worry about it, folks. They are not guests. I have prepared enough food. Go to the other two tables to eat. You have worked all day, so I won't let you go back hungry."

As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei served the remaining food in the pot to the other two tables. At this time, Ning Wan also came back. Seeing her mother serving the food, she quickly put down her backpack and went to help serve the food.

Li Cuihua, who was standing by, saw that Jiang Yuwei served more food to the workers, and that they were eating the same food as herself. She immediately became unhappy and started to curse with a sullen face as if someone owed her two hundred dollars:

"You are such shameless people. You dare to eat the same food as the master while working for the master. You don't even consider your own weight. Are we not paying you or deducting your money? Can we let you sit in the master's yard and eat such delicious food?"
