Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"If I have any difficulties in the future, I will still count on my brother and sister-in-law to help me."

After rejecting her brother and sister-in-law's suggestion to live at home, Yue Niang hurriedly said, seeing that they looked depressed for a moment.

"My parents passed away early, and you are my only sister. Who else can I help if not you?" An Feng said in a rough voice.

"Aunt, Aunt, when did you come back? Why didn't you call me?"

Yue Niang's little nephew An Mingzhi rolled around in the dirt outside. When he came back and saw her, he hugged her legs and threw himself on her, all dirty.

Sister-in-law Qin pulled him over, patted him on the body twice, and said angrily: "Where are you rolling around like a mud monkey? Go wash your hands quickly and don't make trouble for your aunt."

Yue Niang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't yell at him. He is still a child."

An Mingzhi was still dragged by Qin to wash his dusty little hands. Yue Niang raised her eyes and saw her niece An Jingning again.

An Feng is much older than Yue Niang. Yue Niang was only five years old when Qin came into the family. The next year, she gave birth to An Jingning, who was only six or seven years younger than Yue Niang.

An Jingning started playing with Yue Niang when she was a child, and they had a very deep relationship.

An Jingning was standing not far from the door. She saw Yue Niang calling her with a smile, but her mouth pursed and tears started to flow.

"What happened? Someone is bullying our Jingning. Tell your aunt quickly. She will definitely help you."

Yue Niang hurriedly hugged her and coaxed her, with a doting look on her face.

The little girl sobbed and said, "Aunt, uncle...does he not want you anymore?"

Before he could finish his words, he let out another "wow" and cried even harder.

Yue Niang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Where did you get this nonsense? It's not that my uncle doesn't want my aunt anymore, it's that my aunt doesn't want my uncle anymore."

An Jingning was confused by what she said and couldn't help but wipe her tears and asked, "So, doesn't it mean that Auntie has no home?"

"Sister, you are talking nonsense. Isn't our home my aunt's home?" An Mingzhi was a smart boy. He was displeased when he heard this and loudly refuted his sister.

An Jingning pouted and said, "But Grandma Mei said that only after a woman gets married can she have her own family. She can't live in her parents' home all her life."

An Feng's face darkened now, and he turned around and rebuked Qin, "I told you not to gossip with the gossipy women in the village. What have you taught your children to do?"

Qin lowered her head and responded softly. She went up to pull her daughter and wiped her face with a towel. She said to her children in a gentle voice:

"Our home will always be Auntie's home. When you grow up and get married, our home will always be your home. You all need to remember that we are always a family. Don't listen to other people's nonsense."

An Jingning and An Mingzhi both nodded repeatedly. Yue Niang felt a lump in her throat and quickly turned her back and raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

During the meal, Yue Niang said to An Feng, "Brother, I wanted Mingzhi to go to school so that he would have a promising future when he grows up, so I asked the teacher to give him a name."

"The family is much better off now than before, so why not send Mingzhi there earlier so he can start learning as soon as possible."

"In the future, the glory of our family still depends on our determination. Don't let it delay us."

An Feng frowned and said, "Your sister-in-law mentioned it earlier, and she has saved some money to give you a New Year gift."

"Unfortunately, Mingzhi's grandmother fell seriously ill, and my uncle didn't have enough money, so we had to collect some."

"Mingzhi is still young anyway, so he can wait two years before starting to learn. There's no need to rush."

Yue Niang listened carefully, but did not agree with her brother's idea.

"Brother, why didn't you tell me that there was not enough money for Mingzhi's schooling? It seems that you still don't consider me as a family member."

Qin couldn't help but say, "Sister, you have your own life to live, and how can you live without spending money? Your brother and I have hands and feet, and if we work hard, we can save enough money for the tuition soon."

Yue Niang's eyes were red. "Since my brother and sister-in-law treat me as an outsider, I will move out tomorrow. From now on, we can just visit each other as ordinary relatives."

"Oh Yue Niang, how can you talk like this? How can I deal with it?" Qin's eyes also turned red and she said anxiously.

"Well, if you still consider me as a family member, then you should listen to me. I will pay for Mingzhi's tuition for school. If you need pens, ink, paper, and inkstone in the future, just ask me for them."

Without waiting for her brother and sister-in-law to refuse, Yue Niang stroked her nephew's hair and said softly:

"There is only one thing, Mingzhi must study hard, pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official when he grows up, so that his aunt's love will not be in vain."

After hearing her say this, An Feng and Qin stopped talking. Little Mingzhi seemed to understand but still nodded obediently.

"Don't worry, auntie. I will study hard. Even if the teacher hits me or scolds me, I will still study hard."

Yue Niang burst out laughing and gave Ming Zhi a slap on the face.

"If you study hard, why would your teacher beat or scold you?"

Mingzhi laughed and after finishing his meal and cleaning up, Yue Niang took out a purse and gave it to Qin.

Tell her to celebrate the New Year as soon as possible, buy some New Year gifts for her teacher, and also make it clear that the tuition will be calculated separately. After the New Year, let Mingzhi go to school.

Qin was a person who knew what was right and what was wrong. Since it was already a good thing, she didn't pretend to refuse and simply accepted it.

After the household affairs were arranged, Yue Niang went to the workshop again to discuss taking over the workshop with Wang Shun's wife.

Wang Shun’s wife said frankly that she had never managed so many people before. Although she wanted to take over, she was not sure about it.

Yue Niang comforted her and told her not to be afraid, saying that she had never been able to do it before, and if she had any difficulties in the future, she could come to the city to find her.

"Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. How can we, living people, let things make things so difficult for us?"

Wang Shun's wife smiled suddenly, and she felt relieved at last, but her curiosity suddenly arose.

"You really divorced Qiu Yong?"

Yue Niang glanced at her with a smile on her face: "Of course it's true. From now on, you can't call me Sister Qiu anymore. Just call me Yue Niang."

"You are so brave--" Wang Shun's wife sighed, and said that from now on, don't call Yue Niang Wang Shun's wife. Her real name is Chi Yanhua, so just call her Chi Niangzi.

"Why, are you going to follow my example and get a divorce too?" Yue Niang joked.

Madam Chi smoothed her hair, smiled faintly, and said, "Who can say it well? Whether it is passed or not depends on one's heart."

Yue Niang looked her up and down, nodded and said, "I underestimated you."

Madam Chi smiled and said nothing.

The two of them agreed on a delivery time, and Yue Niang also set quality requirements for each delivery with her.

"If the goods delivered are not good, I don't want them."

"Don't worry. I may not be able to worry about other things, but the quality will be the same as when you were in charge. I can guarantee this with my heart."

Madam Chi was full of confidence, and Yue Niang nodded as she looked at her.

After everything was handed over, Yue Niang rested at home for another night, and moved her belongings to the city early the next morning.

However, while she was away these days, Du Wenxiu took on a big business deal.

However, Du Wenxiu was already pregnant, and after the details were discussed, all that was left was implementation.

A Luo and Du Wenchan kept a close eye on her to make sure she wasn't too tired, and were eagerly waiting for Yue Niang to come and take charge of the situation.
