The head of the village cried all the way back to the village, scaring the villagers waiting at the entrance of the village, who thought the sky had fallen.

Who knew that things would take such an unexpected turn that every household would celebrate like it was New Year, with singing and dancing.

Then the head of the village conveyed Ye Guo's words word for word: press the oil, press the oil quickly.

Before the recipe is made public, hurry up and start pressing the oil. But at this time, it is absolutely impossible for strangers to enter the village.

Visiting relatives was prohibited.

Everyone's only goal is to extract oil. Some people are assigned to harvest during the day, and others work all night...

There are not enough stone mills, make some quickly! If there are donkeys or cows in the house, bring them all out and manage them together. Use all the iron pots except for a few for everyone to cook in turns.

The atmosphere in the village was more tense than if there had been a sudden conscription, but Ye Guo felt quite relaxed.

The Wang family's mansion in the county town was actually on the same street as County Magistrate Lu's private residence.

The only difference is that one is in the middle and the other is at the end.

The high walls are painted white and covered with green tiles, with the green treetops in the courtyard occasionally visible.

There were two large gold-plated characters on the door plaque: "Wang Family". The characters were powerful and elegant, but there was no signature.

There is a stone lion on each side of the gate, looking mighty. On the red wooden door, there are two door knockers of the same red color.

Ye Li knocked once when he stepped forward. Then a doorman who was over fifty years old came to open the door and greeted him warmly, "Young Master."

Ye Guo raised his eyebrows and chuckled, and also called out to the latter, "Young Master."

But Ye Li was so embarrassed that he almost wanted to crawl through the crack of the door.

After entering the door, the first thing that catches your eye is a screen wall with a pattern of pine and crane longevity painted on it, which symbolizes family prosperity, longevity and good luck.

Walking around the screen wall, you can see the layout of the courtyard: the courtyard paved with bluestone slabs is spotlessly clean, with a majestic main hall in front, with towering ancient trees, carved beams and painted rafters, which looks solemn and impressive; next to the hall is a winding corridor connecting the east and west wing rooms, and various potted flowers and plants are placed under the corridor, adding a bit of vitality.

According to Ye Li, this is just the front yard. The backyard is where the women in the family live, and Wang's independent courtyard is also included in it.

"Your maternal family should be quite influential in the county, right?"

Not to mention the concierge, who was very polite. The maid who led the way was no worse than the county magistrate's family in terms of dress, appearance and manners.

You can buy a house with money, but you need to train the servants. In Daqing, that requires a family background.

The entire Wang family residence is not magnificent, but it does provide a warm and elegant living atmosphere.

The strange thing is that there is not a single scholar in such a family, and the son-in-law they found is at most half a scholar.

This is a bit interesting.

"Aunt, it's not convenient for Grandpa to go into the backyard, so he must be accompanied by someone. Let's go straight to Grandma and Mom."

"When mother found out that you went to the county magistrate's house, she was so worried."

Ye Li was still a teenager after all, and it was not difficult to tell from his steps that he also missed Wang very much.

"With Xiaomu around, my second sister-in-law will probably forget about anything, no matter how big the problem is." Ye Guo would never overestimate his position in anyone's heart.

"Yes, Xiaomu is here too. He will definitely cry when he sees his mother."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was answered by a shrill child's voice, "Who is crying? Mom is pregnant with a baby, I won't disturb her peace."

Ye Guo: Did people in ancient times all mature so early? This person is from our family!

"Congratulations, second sister-in-law. Have you been vomiting a lot recently?" Wang held both of her hands and pulled her to the table. She didn't even have time to take a look at the layout of the room, and now all she saw was that she had become whiter and fatter. The Wang family was really devoted to their daughter, and she was raised much better than at her own home.

No wonder she went back to her parents’ home when she got pregnant. Who wouldn’t want to live an easy life being taken care of so well?

Wang was a thoughtful and emotionally stable person, but at this moment she was unusually anxious. "What happened to your second brother?"

After hearing this, Old Lady Ye felt confused.

Wang wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by Ye Li, "Mother, my sister-in-law and I don't have any lunch. Please arrange for the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles for us."

Ye Li was familiar with the instructions and didn't wait for Wang to open her mouth. He just gave her a look and the maid bowed, saluted and turned to leave.

Tsk tsk tsk!

If she didn't have to pay attention to the occasion, she would have wanted to do it a few times.

"Don't worry, my second brother is fine. He wrote to me a few days ago and gave you a separate letter. Please take a look first."

Wang was extremely anxious and read the letter immediately after receiving it. Ye Guo then took Xiao Mu aside and started chatting with him.

But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw Wang starting to cry.

Ye Guo jumped in shock, "It's not my fault. My second brother asked me to give the letter."

"Otherwise, let Grandpa Sun come over quickly. Second sister-in-law is still pregnant."

There was nothing to worry about, so she quickly suppressed her emotions, took the handkerchief handed to her by the maid, wiped her tears and said.

"I'm fine. I just got so excited after receiving Siyuan's letter."

"Dr. Sun also said that pregnant women will experience greater emotional ups and downs."

Nowadays, everyone in Changhua County is familiar with Dr. Sun, and many people come from other places to seek medical treatment.

She only got the favor of her sister-in-law, which allowed Dr. Sun to visit her several times. But this kind of affection could not withstand consumption.

Ye Guo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As she had been single since her previous life, she had a passive understanding of the identity of a pregnant woman.

But when it really happens, the theoretical knowledge is completely useless.

"Sister-in-law, you must not be afraid to seek medical attention. If you feel unwell, you must tell me as soon as possible."

When she heard that Wang was pregnant, she was still able to think rationally and make arrangements. But now that she saw someone, she was more nervous than meeting the county magistrate.

Because Wang was at her mother's house, she became visibly gentle and elegant, "Don't worry, little sister, I won't joke with the child."

Ye Guo nodded and instinctively distanced himself from Wang. The latter noticed this and became depressed again.

Old Mrs. Ye, as expected of someone who had been in charge of the household for decades, hurriedly asked about the visit to the county magistrate.

Although he was the only invisible person participating in the whole process, Ye Li's speech was so wonderful.

Ye Guo tried to interrupt several times but failed, so he could only let it go.

She was the first one to notice, in her drunken state, that many people had come into the yard.

The kind where you don't need to knock, the person is already at the door.

The old man who was being supported by someone was dressed in silk and satin, and was followed by a group of maids and old women.

But the person walking in front was actually a young Taoist priest.

Just one glance and Ye Guo exclaimed: "Why is it you?"
