Wen Qingcheng had a look of delight, her eyes lit up, and asked, "What's going on? Did Third Brother come looking for her?" She had only been gone for a short time, but she felt that the whole world had changed. It was as if only a few days in the mountains had passed, but a thousand years had passed in the real world.

Mo Jinghong glanced at Wen Qingcheng, then looked at Wen Zhuo with a smile, waiting for him to continue.

Wen Zhuo smiled, "Qingcheng, you just came back and you don't know, not long after you left, your two sisters-in-law from the Ruan family fell in love with Qi Zhen and wanted to marry her to Sanlang, which created a lot of opportunities for the two of them. The two children fell in love with each other, and your aunt Ruan also liked Qi Zhen very much when she saw her. Qi Zhen's family has known Ruan Sanlang for a long time. In the past, Sanlang often went to Wangjia Village to deliver fish. Qi Zhen's elders all knew him and knew that he was reliable. When the two families met, they were very satisfied and were discussing to find an auspicious date for engagement in the spring."

"Really? That's great, Mom. Let's go to Third Brother's house later to give him his gift. I'll also get some more things to make him even happier." Wen Qingcheng said happily.

The mother and daughter agreed to go, and the uncle said, "Okay, go ahead, and come back at noon to have a reunion dinner at my house."

Song Jiao took Wen Yuxue and said, "It's cold outside, so don't take Xue'er out. I'll take care of her, you guys go."

The whole family went home to get their things, and went to Ruan's house with the bags, attracting the attention of the villagers who were visiting the streets to pay New Year's greetings.

The door of Ruan Sanlang's house was open. There were many relatives in the Ruan family, and they could hear the lively noise in the yard. There were also several little boys and girls as old as Zicheng playing and setting off firecrackers in the yard.

Wen Qingcheng and the others came in with their things, attracting the attention of the Ruan family relatives who were talking in the yard. Mo Jinghong was handsome, tall and handsome, which attracted several sisters of the Ruan family to shyly approach him.

"Qing...Qingcheng!" Mrs. Ruan was chatting with several sisters-in-law from the same clan in the yard. When she saw Wen Qingcheng, she exclaimed.

"Second sister-in-law, Happy New Year." Wen Qingcheng walked forward and greeted her with a smile.

"When did you come back?"

"I got back last night, just in time for New Year's Eve."

Second Sister Ruan shouted towards the kitchen, "Mother, Sister-in-law, come quickly, Qingcheng and the others are here."

In the kitchen, Aunt Ruan and the eldest sister-in-law of the Ruan family each came out with two plates of fruits and cakes and gave them to the guests. The three brothers of the Ruan family heard that someone was coming, and some came out from the backyard and some from the house.

"Qingcheng, brother Chuyi, you are here." Ruan Sanlang has not been seen for a while. He has gained some weight and has more flesh on his face. He must be happy.

"Brother, Happy New Year." Mo Jinghong greeted with a smile and clasped his fists, and then greeted Aunt Ruan and Ruan's sisters-in-law one by one.

Ye Xiuying asked, "Qingcheng and Chuyi brought a lot of things back this time. These are for you. Let's put them in your room."

"Come on, what else do you need?" Aunt Ruan took Wen Qingcheng's hand affectionately and walked into the house.

Zicheng and the two children from Ruan Dalang and Ruan Erlang's families were setting off firecrackers outside. Ruan Dage and his friends also came to help move things, and the gifts were piled all over the floor.

The Ruan family has many relatives, and several groups of people come in and out. Aunt Ruan and the others have to entertain the relatives, so Wen Qingcheng and the others can't stay for long, so they leave after talking for a while.

Before leaving, Mo Jinghong put his arm around Ruan Sanlang's shoulders and came to the bedroom, "Brother, I heard that you are getting married soon, congratulations."

Ruan Sanlang's face flushed, maybe because he was a little embarrassed or because the bedroom was too hot, he smiled and said, "We are all happy together, you and sister Qingcheng are also reunited, after the New Year, will you stay here or go back to Kyoto?"

"We will be back after the Chinese New Year. We miss you all so much after not seeing you for so long. Brother, this is a gift for you. We may not be able to make it back in time when you get engaged."

Ruan Sanlang took it with a smile, thinking that in the village, relatives and friends all gave gifts for engagements and weddings, and when Qingcheng and the others had children in the future, he would also give gifts. So he smiled and accepted the gold-thread embroidery purse that Mo Jinghong handed over.

After seeing off the Wen family, Brother Ruan looked at the gifts on the ground and said, "Qingcheng and the others are too polite. They gave us so many gifts."

Ruan Sanlang also said: "Just now, Chuyi brothers said that they will return to Kyoto after the New Year. They were afraid that they would not have time to attend my wedding, so they gave me a gift in advance."

Ruan Sanlang showed the purse in his hand. Mrs. Ruan saw that the purse was made of brocade with auspicious clouds embroidered with gold thread. She took it and stroked the pattern on the purse. "This purse is really beautiful. Look, the material is brocade. How much money did he give you?"

Mrs. Ruan opened her purse curiously and found a silver note inside. Her hands began to tremble as she opened it. She closed it immediately, went to the inner room and waved to her family.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Dalang asked.

"His father, look, is this one thousand taels?" Mrs. Ruan's voice was trembling with excitement as she handed over the silver note.

Ruan Dalang took it and saw that it was indeed one thousand taels. Ruan Sanlang looked over and felt like a windfall when faced with this huge sum of money. "It was actually one thousand taels. I felt that the purse was very light at the time and didn't think much about it. This is too much."

Aunt Ruan whispered, "What does Chu's family do? I heard from your sister-in-law that his maternal grandfather ran a medicine factory. I heard that he is the next head of the family. He is very generous. Not only is he able to marry a wife, but he can also build you a new two-story house like Qingcheng's."

"We really benefited from Qingcheng's help." said Mrs. Ruan.

"I feel a little embarrassed to receive so much money at once, Mom. Let's send more New Year goods to Aunt Ye's family after we pay New Year's greetings." Ruan Sanlang still felt like he was in a dream. He had a house, a wife, and money at once.

"Yes, yes, yes. There are also fried chicken, fried meat and fried fish. Let's fry more today and send them to Qingcheng's family." Aunt Ruan said.

Mrs. Ruan rolled her eyes and whispered, "Qingcheng has always been generous to us. I'm sure the gifts from outside are also very valuable. Let's collect them quickly."

After Ruan Ersao's reminder, the family began to move their things into the bedroom and asked Ruan Dasao and Ruan Dage and Ruan Erge to go out to greet and see off the Ruan family members.

Aunt Ruan closed the door, opened an exquisite box, and immediately gasped.

"What is it, mother?" Mrs. Ruan asked quietly.

"Gold bars!" Aunt Ruan opened the box and took out gold bars.

Ruan Sanlang opened the other boxes one by one, and found the four treasures of the study, books, a small box of silver ingots, and various silks.

"Qingcheng is so generous. With so many things and so much money, it's enough for our family to spend for several years." Aunt Ruan slumped down on the bed, holding the silk in her hand and stroking it gently.

The two sisters-in-law of the Ruan family saw the colorful silks with soft luster and put them on their bodies and loved them very much.

Ruan Sanlang felt like he was dreaming. His family had been living in poverty until Wen Qingcheng opened a pharmacy and half of their family went to work to earn money. Only then did they become richer and richer. Their living conditions improved a lot, and they also saved some money for him to marry a wife. Now Qingcheng's family brought them so much money, which made their family a wealthy family in Yueya Village.
