Sun Taohua was splashed with foot washing water in the face, and she immediately felt nauseous. She wiped the water off her face with her clothes, and her tone was not as good as before. "Is everything fine now? The bandits had already caused trouble, and the children couldn't even get enough to eat. Now we owe so much foreign debt. We mothers might as well starve to death."

"Besides, if you don't feel sorry for your daughter, you should feel sorry for the son in your belly."

After saying that, Sun Taohua touched her belly.

Ning Zhengsong sat up straight and asked, "Pregnant?"

Sun Taohua nodded.

Ning Zhengsong was deflated again. "Even if I get pregnant, it doesn't necessarily mean I'll have a son. If I get another girl, I'll lose all my dignity."

Sun Taohua quickly said, "It's definitely a son this time. I feel it's different from the previous ones."

Ning Zhengsong snorted, "You said the same thing when you were pregnant with your second child."

Sun Taohua was furious, "Can't you just hope for something good?"

Ning Zhengsong didn't say anything. He was always full of hope and disappointed every time. Wasn't he scared?

Sun Taohua continued, "I believe that we can manage our lives well if we separate. Look at Jiang Yutong, she's living a comfortable life now. It's so enviable."

Ning Zhengsong didn't know how Jiang Yutong became so powerful after leaving the Ning family. If she had this ability at the beginning, his mother would probably not have framed her.

He said in a muffled voice, "I'm going to the city to look for Zhengqing tomorrow. We'll discuss the division of the family business then."

Seeing that her husband had softened, Sun Taohua didn't say anything else. She knew that dividing the family would not be possible immediately.

The next day, Jiang Yutong found the village head and told him about the job recruitment in the county town.

"Uncle Tao, my friend has a house that he's planning to renovate. I think the workers you found for me last time were pretty good. I thought a lot of people in the village would be looking for work lately, so I agreed."

Tao Lizheng was naturally delighted to hear the news. Since Shangyuan Village was ravaged by the bandits, every household had gone hungry, and those who could afford it had gone out looking for work. Now that there was work available, it was perfect. "That's great! I'll let them know right away. How many people are needed?"

Jiang Yutong thought for a moment and said, "The owner wants to finish the work as soon as possible, so it's okay if you send a few more people over."

"Okay, okay, you're so kind, Yutong. You're still thinking about finding work for the villagers."

Tao Li was thinking about Jiang Yuwen's disturbance at the Ning family last night. He asked with concern, "I heard about what happened yesterday. The Ning family's actions were dishonest. Luckily, your brother is back. You'll have someone to back you up from now on."

Jiang Yutong nodded, "Yes, I finally got him back."

"But uncle still wants to advise you. Ning Zhengqing is a scholar after all. Ask your brother to be more careful in what he does and not make things too much. After all, the incident has already passed."

Jiang Yutong said perfunctorily, "We know our limits."

Everyone just advises people to be kind, but they don’t see the suffering others have gone through, and they just pass it by as if it never happened.

If the original owner knew that her brother was still alive and sent her money every year, she would not be so desperate and determined to die, allowing her to occupy her body.

Everyone has forgotten the suffering the original owner endured over the years, and those who haven't forgotten have just casually said it was all in the past. Aren't you living a good life now?

Jiang Yutong refused to accept it, as if what happened in the past no longer existed.

After explaining everything, Jiang Yutong walked back. Ding Lan saw that Jiang Yutong was not in high spirits and chased after her. "Yutong, don't take my father-in-law's words to heart. You have suffered so much over the years. You really shouldn't let the Ning family go so easily."

Jiang Yutong smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Ding Lan, I plan to open a shop in the county town in the future and need some manpower. I wonder if you are interested in coming to the city with me?"

Ding Lan didn't expect such a good thing to happen. "Of course I'm willing, as long as you don't mind my clumsiness."

"Okay, I'll let you know when I'm done, and you can discuss it with your family."

"Okay, don't be angry."

Jiang Yutong smiled and said, "I'm not angry. Aren't there people like you who see the essence of things?"

Ding Lan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. This plain sentence coming out of Jiang Yutong's mouth seemed like a great affirmation.

Jiang Yutong said goodbye to Ding Lan and went to Sister Xing'er's house. Fang Hu's wound had almost healed, but Xing'er was holding him back and not letting him go hunting in the mountains. He was very bored. Seeing Jiang Yutong come in, Fang Hu greeted her enthusiastically, "Sister Yutong, come in and sit down."

"Brother Huzi, how are you recovering recently?"

Fang Hu smiled, revealing his white teeth. "I've been doing pretty well lately. I've been so tired and restless that I'm getting anxious."

Jiang Yutong extended her hand towards Fang Hu, "I'd like to take your pulse."

As he was told, Fang Hu handed his hand to Jiang Yutong.

"Well, he's recovering well, but he still needs to be nursed back to health. Don't rush things."

"I understand, I understand."

At this time, Sister Xing'er came out of the house and said, "I said I heard your voice, and it turned out to be you."

Daniu also followed Sister Xing'er out, "Sister Yutong."

Jiang Yutong touched Daniu's head and said, "Daniu has grown taller again."

Daniel was delighted to receive the compliment and said, "I have a good meal every day."

“Daniu is awesome.”

After saying that, Jiang Yutong took out a handful of candied fruit from his lapel. It was neatly wrapped in paper and said, "Here you go."

Daniu took it immediately and said, "Thank you, Sister Yutong."

Sister Xing'er said angrily, "You always bring him things and spoil him."

Jiang Yutong smiled and said, "Daniu is so great, it's only right to give him a reward."

Jiang Yutong told her about opening a shop in the county town, "I wonder if you guys are willing to come to the county town to help me?"

Fang Hu and Sister Xing'er looked at each other.

Jiang Yutong continued, "There's no rush. You can discuss it slowly and get back to me after you've made your decision."

"Okay then, let's discuss it."

"Well, I'm going into the city soon and may stay there for a while. I'd like you to take care of the house for me."

Sister Xing'er quickly agreed, "Don't worry, I'll go over there every day."

After finishing all the work, Jiang Yutong returned home. When she got home, she saw Xiao Yifeng and Jiang Yuwen sitting in the yard bored. When they saw Jiang Yutong coming back, they became more energetic.

Jiang Yuwen hurriedly asked, "Yutong, have you dealt with everything? Shall we go back to the county town now?"

Jiang Yutong nodded, "We've explained everything we need to, let's set off now."

The carriage had already been harnessed and was waiting for Jiang Yutong.

Before leaving, Jiang Yutong thought for a moment and asked, "Brother, why don't you go back to Xiayuan Village to take a look?"

Jiang Yuwen was stunned, his voice buzzing, "No, that place is no longer my home."

Jiang Yutong knew that Jiang Yuwen was just speaking out of anger. After all, Jiang Yuwen grew up in Xiayuan Village, and Jiang Danian was Jiang Yuwen's biological father. Blood ties were not so easy to break. Unlike her, her heart had changed a long time ago, and she had no feelings for Jiang Danian at all.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Let's go to the county town."
