Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

"No, no!" Aunt Zhao waved her hands quickly. "These two children are both smart and capable. They can make a living on their own."

Mrs. Zhou Er smiled and said, "As the saying goes, people from the same family are alike. My mother-in-law is really understanding!

"But, even though that's what I said, Wen Ruo has sacrificed so much for the family, and we, as the elders, can't take it for granted. We will give them everything we deserve.

"What I brought today is only part of the betrothal gifts, as well as some real estate, such as farms, shops, and properties. Some are in the capital and some are scattered across the country. In the past few years, we have also bought a lot of sacrificial land.

"Everything is on the betrothal gift list. I'll show it to my mother-in-law later."

Aunt Zhao didn't know how to respond, and Qin Ying didn't know what to say either, so she just lowered her head.

Mrs. Zhou Er smiled and said, "I can't keep things to myself, so I'll just say whatever comes to mind. Ultimately, this marriage has wronged Yingying. Everything was rushed too much."

"So, I said everything I should and shouldn't say, so that Yingying wouldn't be caught off guard in the future.

"The Second Master and I will soon be going to guard the border. I don't know if I will be able to come back in my lifetime..."

Aunt Zhao was startled and asked hurriedly, "What did you say?"

"Well!" Mrs. Zhou Er waved her hand. "It's a big day, so let's not talk about this. I brought a matchmaker with me this time. Does my mother-in-law have a matchmaker ready? If not, we can ask for one."

Aunt Zhao nodded quickly. "Yes, yes. We've already decided to ask Aunt Wang, who is highly respected in the village, to be the matchmaker, and Uncle Chen Jiu, the village head, can also be the witness."

Mrs. Zhou Er was very happy: "It's too late today. It's late, and I'm not in the mood. Tomorrow, after we have everything ready, we can meet with the matchmakers from both sides and then look at the betrothal gifts list!"

Aunt Zhao rubbed her hands and said, "We have also prepared a dowry..."

"I know," Mrs. Zhou Er said with a smile, "You can tell from your mother-in-law that she loves her daughter very much. Don't worry, Yingying won't be tortured in any way after entering the Zhou family.

"Firstly, my eldest sister-in-law passed away a long time ago, and I won't stay in the capital. Without the pressure of a mother-in-law and a great-grandmother, I can be the head of the family as soon as I get married. Our family is not an empty shell.

"Secondly, our Wen Ruo is a person who understands pain and warmth, and will not let Yingying suffer any injustice.

"Thirdly, after this mess, there are some benefits. The servants in the house are all loyal and capable. Even if there is a shortage of manpower, Yingying can pick some to fill the gap herself, and it will be more convenient to use them.

"The shopkeepers and village heads who manage our family businesses are also honest and reliable."

Qin Ying hurriedly said, "Aunt, I... I don't have any experience after all. I wonder if I could ask you to stay for a few more years and teach me well?"

"Forget it," Mrs. Zhou Er waved her hands hurriedly, "We women have never gotten along, so you don't know that I, your aunt, am the worst at taking care of household chores!

"When my mother-in-law was alive, she took charge of it. Later, when your mother-in-law came into the family, it was handed over to your mother-in-law.

"After your mother-in-law passed away, I took over and made a complete mess of things. It was only because your second uncle hired someone to help that I didn't squander all the family fortune.

"However, the world is not completely peaceful. I can assign you a few maidservants. Don't be careless when you go out. There are many people with malicious intentions in this world!"

Qin Ying quickly stood up to express her gratitude. Mrs. Zhou Er pulled her to sit down and looked very satisfied.

After drinking two cups of tea, Aunt Zhao saw that Mrs. Zhou looked a little tired, so she asked her to go and rest.

The mother and daughter went to the guest room together.

As soon as she entered the backyard, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but praise it: "This yard is really well-maintained! Although it's small, it has everything!"

Seeing that all the utensils in the guest room were new and clean, he was even happier. "Mother-in-law and Yingying have taken so much trouble."

Aunt Zhao said embarrassedly: "We are poor here and don't have any good things. I am sorry that my aunt has been wronged."

"How can you say that!" Mrs. Zhou Er said angrily, "If my mother-in-law says that, it means she doesn't consider me a family member! To tell you the truth, when we first left the capital, we even slept in doghouses and dug rat holes when we had nothing to eat!

"Compared to those, your place is like a fairyland!"

After settling Mrs. Zhou down to bed, Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes that required a lot of effort to stew.

Zhou Wen was also tired, so he went to Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian's room to rest. Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian also came to help.

As soon as it gets dark, all ten dishes on the table are ready.

Mrs. Zhou Er changed her clothes, washed up, and came out. She sniffed and smiled, "Wow, it smells so good! What delicious food did my mother-in-law make?"

Aunt Zhao invited her into the dining room, and Qin Ying and the Zhou sisters placed the food on the table. Qin Ying also specifically said, "Some of the other people's meals were sent to the next door, and some were arranged in the front yard."

Mrs. Zhou Er smiled and nodded. "Oh, you've worked so hard! Actually, we brought our own food and meat. When I saw my mother-in-law and Yingying, I was so happy that I forgot about this!"

Zhou Wen came over and said with a smile, "Mom, Steward Lin and Madam Xu have already been arranged!"

Mrs. Zhou Er was relieved.

When Mrs. Zhou Er learned that most of the dishes were made by Qin Ying herself, her eyes widened. "Oh my God! Yingying, is there anything you can't do? You are so capable!"

Then he pointed at Zhou Wen and said, "My little girl is not a child anymore. She doesn't know how to do anything except wielding swords and sticks!"

Zhou Wen made a face and said with a grin, "Isn't it enough if someone else knows how to do it? Why does it have to be me? I won't starve to death anyway!"

"I have to learn this because of life," Qin Ying said with a smile, "Miss Wen is a blessed person, so there is no need to learn."

"Wenwen," Zhou Mian said, holding Zhou Wen's hand, "We have learned a lot of dishes from Sister Qin. I will cook for you in the future!"

"Wow," Zhou Wen hugged Zhou Mian's arm, "Second sister, you are so nice to me!"

Mrs. Zhou Er said helplessly, "Mianmian, just spoil her!"

"After all, she is my little sister," Zhou Mian smiled, "As her elder sisters, we should love her more."

"Big sister, second sister," Zhou Wen patted her chest and said, "I, your little sister, have grown up! I will protect you from now on!"

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "We have also learned some physical fitness skills. Can you give me some pointers when you have time?"

Zhou Wen's eyes widened. "Ah? Who did you learn this from? Is there some hermit master here? Big sister, you must introduce me to someone!"

Zhou Mian chuckled: "It's not a hermit master, it's Xu Xia who is beside my eldest brother."

The smile on Zhou Wen's lips froze, and he lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
