The next morning, the voices of children and adults scolding could be heard outside the door. Amidst these sounds, Zhong Ruyi slowly opened his eyes. He thought, let it be, there is nothing to be afraid of, as we have all died once.

Mother Zhong stood in the yard, with her hands on her hips, and started scolding several children who were playing and fighting in the yard.

"Look at you guys. Your little aunt hasn't recovered from her illness yet, and you're already fighting and making noise in the yard, making it impossible for her to rest. Do you have any conscience? How can you not be considerate of your little aunt at all?"

Mrs. Zhong came out quickly and told the children to stop making loud noises.

"Shi Tou, take your second uncle's little brother Xiao He and drive the ducks to the pond. Cuicui, help mother bring breakfast to the main room. Keep your voices down and don't disturb your aunt." Mrs. Zhong skillfully directed the children to work so that they would not gather together and make a lot of noise.

Mother Zhong walked to Zhong Ruyi's door and knocked, "My daughter, mother is coming in."

When I opened the door and went in, Zhong Ruyi had already dressed and was sitting in front of the dressing table.

Seeing her push the door in, he quickly stood up to look at her, and called out "Mom." When Mother Zhong heard the word "Mom", her eyes became moist. She turned her back to wipe her tears and smiled.

"Let's go and have breakfast. You've been sick for a few days and you need to eat more to make up for it." Mother Zhong said as they walked, still holding her hand.

Zhong Ruyi felt a little sad when she looked at the back of Zhong's mother who was walking in front of her. In her previous life, she was an orphan and had never felt the love of her parents. The director's mother was a very good person, but there were too many children in the welfare home, and she could not take care of everyone, so there would always be some neglect.

At the dinner table, Zhong Ruyi lowered her head to eat. When she looked up to pick up the dishes, everyone at the table stared at her except Tiedan, who was only two years old.

The adults had tears in their eyes, and there was a look of relief in their eyes, especially Mr. and Mrs. Zhong, who even reached out to wipe away their tears, making it seem quite sentimental.

The child was amazed and surprised. The little aunt who used to rely on feeding to eat and drink water could eat by herself today. How amazing!

Zhong Ruyi ignored their looks and just buried her head in eating. She had been sick for several days and had not eaten or drunk anything. When she woke up yesterday, she quickly ate a bowl of porridge and went to sleep. Although the apples in the space were big and red, they were not enough to fill her up.

After the meal, Mrs. Zhong cleared the dishes and went to wash them. Only Mr. and Mrs. Zhong, as well as the eldest and third brothers of the Zhong family were left in the main room. The third brother of the Zhong family was not married yet. The second brother and his wife were making a living in the town and could only come back once every few days.

"Ruyi, you have just recovered from your illness. When you are fully recovered in a few days, let Cuicui take you out for a walk. Have a good rest these days. I have asked someone to bring news to your second brother and his wife. They will be back to see you soon." Mother Zhong held her hand. Although her eyes were still a little red, she looked very happy.

Zhong Ruyi nodded and said yes, which made Zhong's mother's eyes red again.

In the afternoon, Zhong Ruyi had just come out of the jade pendant space when she heard a commotion outside. She pushed the door open and saw a tall man pushing a cart in. Behind him was a woman in cloth and a bun who was talking to Zhong's wife. These were the second brother and his wife of the Zhong family.

The two walked in and saw Zhong Ruyi. Although she looked surprised, upon closer inspection, she could not hide her sadness.

"Sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law."

When he heard Zhong Ruyi speak, Brother Zhong smiled innocently, scratched his head, and said "Little sister."

Mrs. Zhong came over and held her hand, "Little sister, come on, let's go in and talk. Dad and Mom left us a message yesterday. We finished our work this morning and finally got home in a hurry."

In the main hall, Zhong's father and mother came out after hearing the noise. They took a look and were overjoyed to see the two of them coming back. "Why are you still standing outside? Your little sister has just recovered from her illness. Don't let her get caught in the cold. Come in quickly."

The whole family sat around the table, talking and laughing. Seeing the unconcealed sadness on Second Sister-in-law Zhong's face, Mother Zhong couldn't help but ask, "Second Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Zhong looked at Zhong Laoer, then at Zhong Ruyi, "Mom, it's a good thing that my little sister has recovered from her illness. We are all happy about it." Then she sighed, "Business in the town has been getting worse recently."

Mrs. Zhong and Brother Zhong rented a small shop in the town to sell food, including wontons and noodles. In the past one or two years, more and more people have been selling food. On the street where the small shop rented by Brother Zhong is located, half of the shops are selling food. In order to attract customers, the prices are set very low.

Gradually, fewer and fewer people came to the small store opened by Brother Zhong. The couple had been worried and couldn't sleep well recently because the rent of the small store was going to increase. If they continued to run the business after the rent increase, they would lose money.

But after running their business in the town for several years, they are unwilling to close their shop and return to farming.

Zhong Ruyi's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this. Her radar was triggered when she heard about money! Making money! She can do it.

She was an orphan in her previous life and worked part-time to earn tuition. Since she was in elementary school, she knew that she had to pick up bottles to exchange for money. When she was a little older, she helped to serve plates and wash dishes.

Normally, the boss would treat her to a meal because she was still a child. Now she had her own space, and the things inside were all good stuff. Take the apple she ate yesterday, for example. She had never eaten such a delicious apple before. It was big, juicy, pure and sweet without any residue.

How much money would I make if I sold it? Besides, there are more than just apples in the space, it makes me excited just thinking about it!

In her previous life, she had worked many jobs. She helped wash vegetables and dishes in the kitchen and would secretly watch the chef cook. The chef in the kitchen would teach her when he saw that she was interested and not busy.

She studied Chinese medicine in her previous life. Over the years, the director's mother's health has been getting worse and worse. She has never married and has spent her whole life on the orphanage. Sometimes when she is sick, she is reluctant to see a doctor or get medicine, or sometimes even if she gets the medicine, she can't take it well, and it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

The doctor suggested that she should take Chinese medicine to slowly regulate her body. The director's mother's health condition was the result of years of accumulation, and it was impossible for her to be cured by taking Western medicine a few times.

She glanced furtively at Mr. and Mrs. Zhong, then at the others, and saw that they all had worried faces. How could she find a suitable opportunity to say that she also wanted to do business?

The atmosphere in this dynasty was open-minded. No matter whether you were a man or a woman, if you wanted to do business, you could do it. As long as you could make money with your skills, no one could gossip about you.

Although she didn't have to work so hard to make money in this life like she did in her previous life, she still did it for the dean's mother and for herself. In her previous life, she always believed that love didn't have to be a thing, but she had to make money! Now that there was an opportunity to make money in front of her, she had to seize it.
