When Liu Dahai arrived, Xu Huairen had just left.

There was a charcoal basin lit in the main room, so it wasn't cold. The two kids had eaten and drunk their fill, so Xu Ruolan carried them out and they were talking to Xu He'an in a babbling voice.

Hearing Aunt Lin greeting the old man, Xu Ruolan was stunned for a moment, then stood up and welcomed the person into the house.

"Uncle, why are you here? It's a little cold today. If you have anything, you can just ask someone to call us. Why did you come here in person?" Xu Ruolan thought he had something to say and asked in a gentle voice.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. I heard that your family came to see you, so I came to see you." As he said that, he looked at Xu Hean, his eyes lit up, and he greeted him with a bow, "I guess this must be the steward of the Xu Mansion? Nice to meet you."

"I don't deserve it. I'm Xu He'an, the steward of the Xu Mansion. Thank you for being so polite, sir!" Xu He'an returned the greeting.

"Hey, Butler Xu, please take a seat, please take a seat!"

"Please, old man too!"

Xu Ruolan looked at the enthusiastic village chief and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Uncle An, Uncle, please stop being polite and sit down and talk."

"Hey, good!" The three of them sat down one after another. Liu Dahai said with emotion: "Uncle Donglai is so happy for you. Thinking back to the past... forget it, don't mention it! Life is better now, and I can be reunited with my family. Good! It's great!"

"Thank you, uncle! If it weren't for you, Ruolan would not have waited until her family came to find her."

Since Liu Donglai left, the mother and daughter had a harder and harder life. If Chen Lan and the villagers hadn't asked their children to help them with food from time to time, and if Liu Dahai, the village chief and patriarch, hadn't always spoken up for them, the mother and daughter would have died long ago.

"Hey, what are you talking about! When you marry Donglai, you will be the daughter-in-law of our Liu family. Your uncle is just doing his duty. As for everyone else, it is also the blessing accumulated by your family. In previous years when Donglai was at home, how many families did not receive his help?" Liu Dahai stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"On behalf of the master and the mistress, we would like to thank you for your great kindness!" Upon hearing this, Xu Hean stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Dahai.

"Hey, what are you doing? Butler Xu, get up quickly! How can an old man accept your courtesy!" When Liu Dahai saw him bending down, he quickly jumped up from the chair and dodged sideways. His agile figure didn't look like an old man over fifty years old.

Liu Dahai: You must be kidding. Of course he had to get out of the way quickly. People say that the prime minister has a seventh-rank official in front of him, and he is just a commoner. The one in front of him is the steward of a fourth-rank official in Beijing. He dare not accept this gift.

In fact, if Liu Xu hadn't said later that all her livelihoods came from her maternal ancestors, he wouldn't even know that Xu Ruolan came from a wealthy family.

Later, thinking that no one had come to look for him for so many years, he thought that... who would have thought that not only was the person still there, but he was now a high-ranking official in Kyoto.

"My young lady is the apple of my Xu family's eye. You are my young lady's elder, so how can you not accept this?"

"Okay, okay, Uncle An! Uncle! Why are you being so polite again? Come on, sit down, have some tea and chat!" Xu Ruolan said helplessly.

Sitting down again, Liu Dahai didn't hesitate and asked directly, "Dong Lai, are your parents coming over later? Or do you want to go to Kyoto with Butler Xu?"

This is what he thought of on the way here. Previously, he only thought about the benefits.

The Xu family has been looking for Xu Ruolan for so many years, so they must value this daughter very much. In addition, Zhang and Liu Dongcheng's family have done something stupid before. If the Xu family does not recognize this marriage and takes Xu Ruolan and her son away, wouldn't it be a waste of their efforts?

"I'll go to Kyoto with you. My mother has become ill due to worrying about me over the years and is now bedridden, so I plan to leave after I've arranged things at home." Xu Ruolan said frankly.

"What about the children?" Liu Dahai was worried, but he couldn't stop them. After all, filial piety is the most important thing for children.

"They should be together. However, I still need to ask Xuer's opinion on this matter." Xu Ruolan was also conflicted. On the one hand, her mother was seriously ill, and on the other hand, she couldn't leave her family without someone.

"Then...what will happen to the workshops and businesses at home after you leave?" Liu Dahai asked tentatively.

Xu Ruolan understood a little bit, and smiled to comfort him: "Don't worry, uncle! If you want to leave, I will arrange everything at home. Whatever you are doing now, you will still be doing it in the future. When my mother is better, we will come back."

"Miss, I have already sent two letters to the mansion, telling you where I found you and what's going on here. If Madam knows about it, she will definitely be in better shape. Who knows, by the time you go back, Madam will have already gotten much better!" Xu He'an said with a smile, and nodded to Liu Dahai.

"Oh oh oh, then...that's fine too!" Liu Dahai looked at the two people with obvious smiles on their faces and felt a little embarrassed.

But when he thought of what Xu Ruolan said, he felt relieved! Since the Donglai family said they would come back, they would definitely come back. After all, they have been together for so many years, so he can be sure of this.

Thinking about the old woman's request for him to go back early before he left, and that it was getting late outside, he stood up and said goodbye, "Haha, Housekeeper Xu, it's getting dark, so I'm going back first! Will I come to chat with you tomorrow?"

"That's great. The young lady and the others are busy, and I can't help. I'd like to ask the old man to take me around so that I can see where the young lady lives. When I return to Beijing, I can learn how to speak for the master and mistress at home!" Xu He'an said with a smile.

"Hahaha, no problem, the old man will take you for a walk tomorrow! Butler Xu, this is Donglai's family, I'll leave first!" Liu Dahai said with a smile.

"Uncle, please have your meal before leaving. It's almost time for dinner! Xu'er is cooking today!" Xu Ruolan tried to persuade him to stay.

"Hahaha, if it were a normal day, and Xu girl was cooking, I would stay even if you didn't call me. But forget it today, when I went out, your aunt said she was going to stew some meat herself, I have to go back to eat it, otherwise she will complain later!" Liu Dahai said without waiting for Xu Ruolan to persuade him to stay, he waved his hand and walked out.

Although my wife has some minor flaws, she is generally good. No matter how delicious the food outside is, it is not as delicious as the food made by my wife herself.

The old man walked out of the courtyard leisurely with his hands behind his back. On the way, he happened to meet Xu Huairen and others who were returning from delivering gifts. Because Uncle He was there, they greeted each other.

Knowing that they were going to give gifts to everyone, Liu Dahai had a better impression of the Xu family. He also made up his mind that such a polite family would not do anything to regret the engagement.
