When Fan Ting saw his mother's face darken, he thought she was worried about his injuries. When he heard her asking about Cuihua, he said that they had already discussed it with the Ye family and they would hold their wedding ten days later.

Hearing that the date for the two of them had been set, Mrs. Fan's eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked.

"Then you can give me the twenty taels of silver that we agreed on before..."

"That is Cuihua's dowry money. Naturally, it will be brought together when the person gets married. There is no reason to give it as dowry first."

But when it comes to dowry, Fan Ting said again.

"Since they have offered a dowry of twenty taels, our betrothal gift cannot be too stingy. The Ye family also knows my situation. Moreover, they are more impressed by my current status as a scholar. So we will offer a betrothal gift of ten taels as a token of our appreciation. Mother, remember to prepare the silver..."

When Mrs. Fan heard that she had to pay ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift herself, she immediately became unwilling and spoke up.

"Ten taels. That useless girl back then only cost two taels of silver. How could she, who got pregnant before marriage, still want ten taels? I don't have that..."

"Mom, how can that useless Han Yiyi be compared with Cuihua? Besides, Cuihua is pregnant with our Fan family's child. Don't worry, mom. When Cuihua comes home, I will make sure she respects you well. You also know the financial situation of Cuihua's family. She will not be able to do without your good things in the future..."

After hearing her son's words and thinking of the gold hairpin on Ye Cuihua's head, Old Lady Fan nodded reluctantly and thought to herself that when this daughter-in-law gets married, she will take good care of her. Then all the good things she brings from her parents' home will be hers. Thinking of this, Old Lady Fan's eyes were full of brilliance.

Because Han Yiyi had to go to town every day, she would leave her two children at Aunt Zhang's house. In fact, one of the reasons why Han Yiyi agreed to sell the marinade recipe so quickly was that she didn't want to trouble Aunt Zhang to take care of her children all the time.

When Han Yiyi and Daniu returned to Aunt Zhang's house, they had already finished their meal. When they saw them coming back, they hurried to greet them. When they saw the wound on Daniu's chin, they asked with a worried look on their face.

"Why are you so late today? Why are you injured? What happened?"

"Mom, it's okay. I was just accidentally scratched by a bamboo. It's no big deal..."

Seeing that Daniu didn't want to talk about it, Han Yiyi didn't mention what happened today.

However, I told Aunt Zhang that I had bought the recipe for the marinade and that I would no longer go to the town to sell large intestines.

It was only now that Daniu realized the man's purpose in looking for Han Yiyi today. He thought, no wonder that man invited them to dinner and asked them to pack up the food.

If Shopkeeper Tong knew what Da Niu was thinking, he would definitely say, "I was just being polite. I didn't know you were not polite at all."

But when Daniu heard that Han Yiyi would no longer go to the town to sell braised food, he was still a little worried. It was not for anything else, but just that he would feel more at ease with Han Yiyi by his side.

Not only was Daniu worried, but Aunt Zhang also looked at Daniu with concern when she heard that Han Yiyi would not be selling braised food in the future. However, she did not say anything. After all, he had been taking care of her son for so long, and one should not be too greedy. At most, Erniu would go with them later...

Just as Han Yiyi expected, without Han Yiyi's help in renting Old Man Wei's ox cart, Daniuqi was reluctant to spend ten cents to rent an ox cart alone. As for how they would go to the town later, whether they would walk or take the ox cart, Han Yiyi did not ask. He thought Aunt Zhang would arrange it herself.

He packed up the things from Yunlai Restaurant, left most of them to Aunt Zhang's family, and then took the two little ones back to the thatched cottage.

As soon as Han Yiyi left, Aunt Zhang looked at Da Niu and asked him what happened to the injury on his face.

Aunt Zhang knew her son Da Niu very well. When she saw the look in his eyes when he spoke, she knew he was lying. Something must have happened today. However, Han Yiyi was present and she was worried about damaging Da Niu's face, so she didn't ask.

But when she heard that Han Yiyi was almost beaten because of her son, she couldn't help but step forward and hit Da Niu.

"You are useless. If something happens to your sister because of you, how can I face her two children? Fortunately, your sister is smart and reminded you to mark it, otherwise you really would have no way to defend yourself..."

When Da Niu said this, Er Niu, San Ni and others were also there. Hearing her mother's words, San Ni couldn't help but speak with a smile.

"Mom, and me, that little doll, I was the one who reminded my eldest brother to make it..."

"Yes, you are smart..."

In fact, Aunt Zhang also knew that among her children, the dumbest and dullest was the eldest. Fortunately, with the help of Han Yiyi, he could earn some money. The smartest one was Sanni, but unfortunately she was a girl.

Thinking of today, Aunt Zhang was still a little scared, but she was reluctant to give up the job that finally made money, so she looked at Sanni.

The next morning, before dawn, two figures, one big and one small, came out of Aunt Zhang's house, carrying bamboo pillows on their backs and walking towards Niu Ping'an Town.

Along the way, you can hear Sanni's excited and excited voice.

"Brother, we will definitely be able to sell all these bamboo pillows today..."

Since she didn't have to get up early, Han Yiyi slept in without worry. When she opened her eyes drowsily, she saw two little guys sitting beside her, looking at her with worry on their faces.

Seeing Han Yiyi open her eyes, he quickly spoke.

"Mom, you're finally awake. My brother and I cooked rice porridge together. I'll bring it to you..."

After listening to Daya's words and looking at the sun outside, Han Yiyi was surprised to realize that he had slept almost until noon.

Thinking that the two little ones had not eaten yet, she hurriedly got up, thinking of cooking food for them, when she saw Daya walking in from outside with a porcelain bowl in her hand. Han Yiyi then remembered that Daya seemed to have said that they had cooked porridge just now.

Han Yiyi quickly got up to take it, and sure enough, the porcelain bowl was filled with cooked rice porridge, but the color of the rice porridge was a little strange, probably because it was burnt.

Seeing the two little guys looking at him expectantly, Han Yiyi took a sip directly, then looked at the two little guys with a smile and praised them.

"It's so delicious, you two are great, but remember to wake up mother next time. I'm worried you might burn your hands..."

"Mom, we will be careful. We see that you have been very busy lately, so we want you to sleep a little longer..."

Listening to the two little guys' words, Han Yiyi felt a warm feeling in his heart, and thought to himself, this is what people often say, that children come to repay their gratitude. However, Han Yiyi still told the two little guys that they cannot make a fire when he is not around. After all, the two little guys together are only six years old.
