Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

Ji Nuan quietly climbed onto the bed and lay down next to Ji's mother. She originally planned to wait for Ji's mother to wake up and talk to her, but unexpectedly, she gradually fell asleep while lying there.

When Ji's mother opened her eyes, she saw her little daughter's sleeping face. Her eyes lingered on Ji Nuan's face, her mind full of thoughts, as if she had traveled through time and returned to the time when Ji Nuan was still a baby.

A childish voice broke her thoughts. Jindou'er rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up in a daze.

Mother Ji quickly lowered her voice, fearing that she would disturb Ji Nuan who was still "sleeping": "Shh...Jin Dou'er, don't wake up your aunt, let her sleep a little longer."

Jindouer immediately covered his little mouth and leaned over quietly to look outside the bed.

Ji Nuan had actually woken up when Jin Dou'er woke up. She pretended to be still asleep until this moment, when she opened her eyes and met Jin Dou'er's clear and bright eyes. She couldn't help but smile: "Hehe, Jin Dou'er, you're awake!"

Mother Ji lovingly tidied Ji Nuan's hair and said softly, "I wanted you to sleep a little longer, but I didn't expect to wake you up."

Ji Nuan smiled and shook her head, then sat up, looking refreshed. "Just a short sleep will be enough."

Jin Dou'er lowered her voice and asked in surprise, "Aunt, when did you come back? We didn't even notice!"

Ji Nuan touched Jin Douer's head and said, "I came back just when you fell asleep. Now that you're awake, get up and don't wake up your brother." As she said that, she got up and carried Jin Douer down from the bed.

After leaving the room, Ji's mother looked at the empty yard at home and couldn't help asking, "Have they all returned? Why don't I see anyone?"

When Ji Nuan came back, she saw her eldest brother going to see her eldest sister-in-law, and she explained for them: "Well, the eldest and second brothers are both married, so they just came back, so naturally they went to talk to the eldest and second sisters-in-law about their intimate matters."

She had been worried about her children for a long time, but as soon as they came back, they were all in a hurry to find their wives, which made Ji's mother feel quite uncomfortable.

"What about your third brother?" she couldn't help asking, "He's still single, with no wife and no one around!"

"You can't blame Third Brother, he hasn't even come back." Ji Nuan looked at her mother's sullen expression and suppressed the corner of her mouth that was about to rise. "He is now my highly paid steward, and he's helping me in Shuangxi County."

Ji Chuan had only worked as an accountant at the cloth shop for a few years, but Ji's mother didn't think he could help with anything. "What can you ask him to do?"

"Mom, I have more than 20 shops now, and my third brother helps me manage them!" Ji Nuan said with a little pride.

Ji's mother asked in surprise, "What? Don't make fun of me. Tell me what's going on."

Ji Nuan briefly recounted how she rescued Qu Xiangqing and her brother, and accidentally acquired the Qu family's assets. Of course, she didn't dare to mention a single word about how she almost took away a piece of Cao family's land.

Ji's mother calmly drank a glass of water to calm herself down.

After hearing this, Ji's mother took a sip of tea. She needed to calm down.

My God, my daughter has only been away for a few days, and she has already brought back so much property! It seems that my daughter is right. She is really going to become a wealthy old lady.

Seeing her mother was silent for a long time, Ji Nuan couldn't help but worry, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Mother Ji came to her senses and shook her head gently. "I'm fine, just a little emotional. Nuan'er, your third brother and Xiangqing are in Shuangxi County. Will the Cao family cause trouble for them? After all, those properties are worth a lot of money. How could the Cao family let them go so easily?"

Ji Nuan let out a faint smile. "Don't worry, Mom. The Cao family is already struggling. The three of them are seriously ill and are desperately searching for a doctor. How could they have the energy to bother Third Brother and Xiang Qing? Besides, since those properties have been transferred to our name, they belong to us. If the Cao family wants to take them back, we'll have to see if they have the ability to do so."

Mother Ji nodded and said, "I'm relieved that you can handle these matters properly."

Ji Nuan continued, "Mom, I want to buy a house in the capital city. If you and Dad are free these days, why not go together and see if there is a suitable one."

Ji's mother was reluctant to spend the money. "We just built a new house, and we're still buying a house. Can you live in it?"

Ji Nuan patiently explained, "Mom, our family is well off now. Jin Dou'er is about to start school, and my eldest and second sisters-in-law often go to the city. It would be more convenient to have our own house in the city."

After hearing what Ji Nuan said, Ji's mother gradually understood. She patted the back of Ji Nuan's hand and said with emotion, "You are right. I didn't think it through and my vision was too narrow. You brothers and sisters are all capable. Our family will definitely get better and better. Okay, tomorrow I will go to the city with your father to look around and pick out a suitable house."

"Hehe, it's really mother who gets things right the moment she says it." Ji Nuan complimented playfully, then turned to ask Ji's mother with a smile, "Mom, do you want to see the gift I picked out especially for you?"

Ji's mother's face was filled with anticipation. "Oh? What treasure did you bring back for me?"

"Mom, wait for me, I'll get it right away. There's a surprise for Jindouer too." Ji Nuan said with an excited smile on her face.

Mother Ji smiled lovingly and waved her hand, "Go quickly, go quickly, mother is also very curious."

"What are you curious about?" Ji's father asked when he came back and heard Ji's mother's voice.

"Dad, you're back!" Ji Nuan hadn't seen her parents for many days. Seeing her father at this moment, her heart was filled with joy. She held his arm affectionately, smiling like a flower, "I've prepared a gift for you, too. I'm sure you'll like it when you see it."

Father Ji felt his daughter's closeness, and his heart was warm. He laughed and said, "I am very happy that you can come back safely, whether you bring gifts or not."

Mother Ji gently pulled Father Ji's sleeve and asked him to sit down. She said with a bit of complaint in her smile: "You should sit down and have a rest. Nuannuan was about to go get us a gift, and you delayed her by standing here."

Ji Nuan interrupted with a smile: "Mom, this is not my dad's fault. I was so happy when I saw him that I couldn't help but want to say a few more words. Okay, I'll go get the gifts now and promise not to keep you waiting for long." After saying that, she turned around and went to her room briskly.
