The brothers were chatting and laughing, and just started to continue working, when they suddenly saw people coming from Fang family's field. However, they were not workers, but four or five servants, carrying chairs in their hands.

The people in each family's fields were all confused. This servant should be from the Fang family. What was he doing?

Everyone was tired from working and couldn't help but come out to watch the fun.

After the chairs were placed, I saw that behind these people, Mr. Fang slowly followed and sat down on the chair, with a servant standing next to him.

After everything was ready, the servants each carried a hoe, rushed into the Fang family's field and started working.

Old Master Fang sat on a chair, and the servant beside him took out tea and snacks from a box and put them on the table. Old Master Fang drank tea while watching the servants work.

The villagers had never seen such a scene before. They looked at each other and thought that this was really different. Even the landlord had never seen such a big scene!

A group of people came out from their own fields to greet Mr. Fang and chat with him casually.

Before, they thought that Fang Tong was the most promising person in the village. They didn't expect that although Fang Jin's fame and fortune were taken away, he turned around and married the daughter of the landlord Wang, and even used slaves and servants.

No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they are living a good life now.

Anyway, they are peasants who can't compare with him, so it's okay to say a few nice words when they meet.

"Hey, old man, this is the person your daughter-in-law brought with her, right?"

"The old man is so lucky, he even has people helping him farm."

Some people came to ask about it, and some were envious. Mr. Fang was very proud in his heart, but he just waved his hands to save face.

"Hey, what's that? It's just my son being filial and worried that I'll get tired. But I'm not that bad. Aren't people our age farming?"

Looking at Mr. Fang's arrogant behavior, Fang Tong curled his lips, not knowing what was so great about it.

Is that a good thing for his family? They're making such a big fuss. Have they forgotten what Miss Wang is like? Aren't they afraid that one day her hat will turn cuckold and she'll lose face?

Erwa, who was standing by, was also disdainful and whispered to Fang Tong, "Yesterday, Fang Jin and his wife went to Wang's house to return home after three days of marriage and never came back!"

"I heard that Landlord Wang was so generous that he gave the couple a house in the county town and let them move in directly. I guess Miss Wang wasn't used to living in the countryside, so she just stayed for two days to celebrate her wedding and give the Fang family some face. There's no way she could live in this village forever."

Fang Tong nodded: "Then Miss Wang is no longer in the village, and she still has so many servants?"

Erwa winked and said, "Mr. Fang is reluctant to let his eldest son leave, so the Wang family sent these people to farm and serve him. The meaning is that he should just stay at home and enjoy his life, and not interfere in the affairs of the couple."

Fang Tong understood now and was immediately speechless. Before, Fang Jin looked down on him for marrying into the family and kept bringing this up. Wasn't he just running away to be a gigolo?

At least he can still earn money for the family now, but his elder brother must have spent a lot of money!

But it was none of his business, and he wasn't curious.

How other people live their lives is none of his business. His current job is to plant the land and build the house as soon as possible.

He waved his hand, and his brothers went back to farming.

On the fifth day of March, Fang Nanzhi acted coquettishly with her husband, Mr. Zheng, and in return got half a day off, so she took her second uncle shopping.

Two people, one big and one small, were strolling around when they saw a shop selling food and couldn't move anymore. They stood next to the bun shop and drooled.

It's really not entirely their fault. When they passed by, the meat buns were just out of the pot. When the boss saw them, he started shouting and describing how delicious the buns were.

"Delicious meat buns! Fresh from the pan! My dear lady, these buns are stuffed with pork, more meat and less vegetables. Look, I added oil when I made the filling, it's all greasy, and it's so delicious when you take a bite!"

"And the bun skin is so soft and fluffy, not dry or hard at all. Even if you take it home and reheat it in a pan, it will still be the same!"

Fang Nanzhi swallowed his saliva, and Fang Yin's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to buy it and eat it!

But no!

"We have more important things to do today!"

She quickly pulled her second uncle's sleeve and asked Fang Yin to pick her up. Then she covered her second uncle's eyes. Fang Yin also freed one hand to cover her eyes. Then the two of them left the bun shop with difficulty.

After much difficulty, they finally reached the grocery store. They were not out for a stroll today, but to buy exam baskets. Now that the county exam was approaching, things used by candidates were sold everywhere, including pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and book boxes.

Hearing that they were here to buy exam baskets, the shop owner came over enthusiastically to introduce them and took them to a variety of exam baskets.

If I hadn't come to the grocery store, I really wouldn't have known there were so many varieties. Fang Nanzhi was dazzled.

"We have bamboo and wooden ones, some that can be carried on the back, and some that can be carried in a basket. I wonder which one you want?"

Fang Nanzhi walked forward and tried it, and found that bamboo was lighter, but also thinner.

The wood is thick but also heavy, and feels very substantial to carry.

She had heard people say before that the wood was very solid and it was okay to sit on it on the ground, just like a stool.

She looked around and saw a separate box on the shelf. It also looked like it was made of wood, but it was black and inlaid with many things that looked like jade. She couldn't tell whether it was real or not, but she thought it was very beautiful. She couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and ask, "How much silver does that cost?"

The boss raised his head and looked in the direction of her hand. "Miss, you have good eyesight. This is the most expensive bookcase in the store. It costs one hundred taels."

One hundred taels!

Fang Nanzhi was shocked. Even if she and her second uncle were sold, they wouldn't have that much silver! Could that thing on top be real jade? What kind of family could afford such an expensive bookcase?

She quickly looked under the cabinet and found one that looked pretty good. The wood felt smooth to the touch and had no burrs.

The boss said this would cost three taels. Fang Nanzhi thought that they could almost afford it, so he let Fang Yin hold it in his hand and look at it carefully for a long time.

This exam basket is big enough and there is not much mess in it. It can hold a lot of things and it has layers inside.

If you want to take something off the layer, you can pull it out directly from the bottom like a drawer, without having to flip through it layer by layer from the top. She tried it specially and found that it would be stuck when you put it in normally and would not fall out suddenly.

Fang Nanzhi thought this was it. The little girl cleared her throat and turned to the boss and said, "Boss, can this be cheaper?"
