"Oh, you guys..." Du Wenchan screamed, covering her face and ran back into the house.

Yue Niang finally understood: "Oh, I understand. It turns out that our Chan'er is getting married soon. I'm afraid that Qiao'er will have to take over the workshop from now on."

Du Wenxiu smiled and nodded, and A Luo also smiled like a flower.

"Then we have to prepare Chan'er's dowry now. I wonder what arrangements my aunt has made?"

Du Wenxiu asked A Luo with a smile, but saw her face change slightly: "I am a concubine, how can I be the one to say this..."

"Auntie, please don't say that. Even if you are a concubine, as long as Chan'er is successful, you will naturally have face. Besides, you are the elder in our family and also our mother. If you don't make arrangements, do you expect me to do it?"

Du Wenxiu hated it most when she talked about these things. Although she was unwilling to do things that were against the moral code on weekdays, it was better to follow her heart when the door was closed.

A Luo's expression relaxed slightly, and he hesitated for a long time: "But, I don't understand these either..."

"If you don't understand, I will teach you. I have been through so many things, so I think this little thing is no problem for me."

Du Wenxiu glanced at Qi Sanniang who was holding Haisheng. She felt flattered by the call of "Auntie".

Originally, Du Wenxiu always avoided her on purpose. She would not mention her if she could avoid it. If she really couldn't avoid her, she would just call her by other names instead.

Today is the first time that I called her "Aunt" so clearly.

Qi Sanniang was filled with joy and responded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I know all this. If you don't understand, just ask me to help you."

A Luo narrowed his eyes and nodded in agreement.

"Ah, I originally said that the Chi family had a large population and difficult relationships, which already made me very uncomfortable, but I didn't expect that Sister Qiao'er's life was even more difficult."

Yue Niang sighed, and Du Wenxiu couldn't help but glance at her:

"You are so blessed that you don't know how to appreciate it. What new bride would want to show up in public and watch the fun? It's just that Master Chi thinks highly of you."

"Of course I know it...but, I..." Yue Niang muttered softly, bringing back bad memories.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. I just got the land deed, but I can't get away to go to the countryside to look for my brother and his wife. I need to find someone to take a message and ask them to come to the city."

Yue Niang has always been able to let go of things. Although her inability to have children is a huge burden on her heart, she can't just end her life because of it, right?

He was depressed for a while, but soon cheered up and went out to look for Old Yang who was traveling in the countryside, and brought a letter to his brother and sister-in-law when he returned.

After coming back, he was no longer as worried as before.

"Oh, you are all sitting in the yard. It's really hot today." The gate of the yard opened, revealing a familiar face.

"Brother Lu, why are you here? It's been a long time since we last met. Where have you been?"

Yue Niang and Qiu Yong had been engaged since childhood, and had frequent contacts with Lu Sangui, so she recognized him at a glance.

Lu Sangui took the wet towel handed to him by A Luo, wiped the sweat off his face, and then answered Yue Niang:

"I went to the Western Regions, and then I met my sister-in-law and came back knowing that everything was settled."

He called to the people behind him, "Move it over quickly and throw it into the well."

The two servants behind him each held a large watermelon. They threw one into the well first, and put the rest in the shade of the wing room. They ran several times before they finished moving all the watermelons.

Seeing that he is familiar with the place, you can tell that this is not his first time here.

"I ate a watermelon in the workshop that day, and then I realized it was sent by Brother Lu. Where does Brother Lu live now?"

Yue Niang chattered and asked around Lu Sangui.

"I have been in the capital for some time, and just moved to Dongxing County. I am here to invite you to come to my house to start a fire the day after tomorrow."

"Hey, is your wife here too?" Du Wenxiu interrupted and asked.

"Hey, of course. It's because we have to move that we have to wait until now to finish it. I came here to inform you as soon as possible. No one is allowed to make excuses not to go the day after tomorrow."

"Of course we have to go to such a happy event. But I have never met my sister-in-law, so I don't know what she likes. We can prepare gifts and go to her house to congratulate her." Yue Niang said with a smile.

"Hey, we are all family, why prepare gifts? Don't be too formal. Don't prepare anything." Lu Sangui waved his hand.

Yue Niang smiled and shook her head, saying, "It must be prepared, otherwise it will be difficult to ask for Brother Lu's watermelon in the future."

Lu Sangui was startled, then laughed out loud: "If you want to eat, just ask. If there's no other people's, is there no one for you?"

Yue Niang still shook her head: "Brother Lu, it's not that I want to eat it myself, but I want to use Brother Lu's connections to negotiate with my restaurant."

He then told Lü Sangui about his plan to open a restaurant with Du Wenxiu, and said, fanning himself:

"If we change the restaurant, we might lose some old customers. If we have something rare like watermelon to support it, maybe things will go much more smoothly."

Du Wenxiu didn't mind her using the restaurant business as an excuse and wanted to talk to Lu Sangui about the watermelon supply issue.

It turned out that the two of them had only mentioned it, but hadn't yet finalized it.

However, it would not be a good idea to ruin her performance now, so let's just wait and see what Lu Sangui says.

"Since you and your sister-in-law are opening a restaurant together, if you want me to give you this watermelon to show off your wealth, I will do it."

Lu Sangui hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's just that this item is still a rare item nowadays. If there are too many of them, the price will inevitably be low, so there won't be too many of them."

Yue Niang nodded in agreement.

Selling watermelons in this restaurant is just a gimmick. It is different from the workshop, where the people inside know whether there are more or less.

If a large number of watermelons appear in the restaurant, it might be targeted by some powerful person, which would be a loss.

"How about this, Brother Lu supplying the restaurant with three watermelons every ten days, is that okay?" Yue Niang asked after calculating carefully.

Lu Sangui laughed heartily and said cheerfully, "Of course you can. But you can't tell anyone about this amount. If it gets out, others will come to trouble me, and I will have no choice but to stop giving you money."

Yue Niang was overjoyed and nodded yes repeatedly.

"Hey, you are here, but why is Qiu Yong missing?" For a moment, Lu Sangui thought of his old companions again.

Yue Niang suddenly became embarrassed and forced a smile, not knowing what to say.

Du Wenxiu stepped forward to help, "I actually forgot to tell you that Yue Niang and Qiu Yong had divorced a long time ago. I'm afraid Qiu Yong's pregnancy is already big. The restaurant Yue Niang mentioned is the property of her current husband's family."

"Huh? There is such a thing?" Lu Sangui was surprised and looked at Yue Niang suspiciously.

"Don't look at her. It was your brother who did something unkind." Du Wenxiu pulled Yue Niang behind him and told Lu Sangui what happened.

Lu Sangui frowned tightly and couldn't help but sigh: "I knew Qiu Yong's mother was troublesome, but I didn't expect that she would ruin my good wife."

Du Wenxiu smiled slightly: "It's all in the past, why mention him again. But now he has got what he wanted, after all, he has raised descendants for the Qiu family."
