Let’s split up if we want to. I have a system, so who should I be afraid of?

If Qin Fangniu had not died unexpectedly, with Qin Youwen's diligence, he might have been able to pass the imperial examination.

Later, after Qin Youwen dropped out of school, he wanted to find some work outside. Zhao Cuihua felt sorry for Qin Youqian and didn't want her eldest son to do heavy work, so she refused to agree to Qin Youwen finding a job outside. She asked her eldest son to do farm work at home, and took her third son Qin Youcai to the mountains to hunt every day to get meat for the family.

At that time, Shen Ru's father was almost exiled with his entire family because of court struggles. Fortunately, Shen Ru's mother had a close relationship with the eldest princess, and the eldest princess pleaded for them, allowing them to have their property confiscated and be exiled to this remote place. From then on, Shen Ru's life changed drastically.

Shen Ru's parents lived in Baoxing Town for a few years and had adapted to it. They felt that it was good to be away from the court and no longer have to live in fear. They gradually integrated into the local life and even learned the most basic dialect.

Qin Youwen would occasionally go to the town to buy and exchange things. One time, he happened to meet Shen Ru who was out for a walk, but she accidentally sprained her foot.

Qin Youwen happened to pass by. Although he was soft-tempered, he was kind by nature.

Seeing Shen Ru injured, Qin Youwen hesitated for a moment and then stepped forward to help.

He carefully helped Shen Ru up and took her back to her residence.

After that, Shen Ru was deeply impressed by Qin Youwen.

In the days that followed, Shen Ru ran into Qin Youwen several times in the town.

Although Qin Youwen was born in the countryside, he has his own unique understanding of life. He would share interesting things in the countryside with Shen Ru. Shen Ru saw a rare innocence and simplicity in Qin Youwen.

As time went by, Shen Ru felt more and more that Qin Youwen's gentle nature was not weakness, but gentleness and tolerance.

After she experienced the ups and downs of life, this gentleness and tolerance gave her a great sense of security.

Qin Youwen was also full of admiration for Shen Ru, and her tenacity moved him deeply.

Shen Ru once felt the coldness of the world, and those who once surrounded her left one after another when she was in trouble.

Although she was young at that time, it was precisely because of her young age that she could better perceive the difference in human nature.

And in this remote place, Qin Youwen always cared about her silently.

As expected, the two got married.

Zhao Cuihua had fully agreed at first, because Shen Ru felt sorry for his poor family, so the wedding didn't cost much. Moreover, Shen Ru's parents also gave a dowry of food, jewelry, clothes, cloth, chickens and ducks, as well as many farm tools, tables, chairs and benches.

This dowry was generous enough for Huaxi Village. For Zhao Cuihua, who loved to take advantage, this marriage was a great bargain.

So, this is why when Su Panpan did not split up the family, although Qin Youwen from the second house was weak, he did not oppress Shen Ru so harshly.

Whenever the Qin family ran out of food, Zhao Cuihua would rely on Shen Ru to go back to her parents' home and bring back some food to help them.

After Su Panpan's family split up, there was no one to do the work, so the burden naturally fell on the second house. Shen Ru didn't want to keep fleecing her natal family to subsidize her husband's family, which was a bottomless pit.

Zhao Cuihua was naturally unhappy. Thinking that Shen Ru gave birth to two girls, she became even more furious and started to suck the blood of the second wife.

He also wanted to marry Linlin to the old cripple from the next village, which forced Qin Youwen and Shen Ru to make up their minds to separate.

Fortunately, Su Panpan helped. Linlin now respects her third aunt from the bottom of her heart. Wherever she sees Su Panpan, she will sweetly call her third aunt.

"Third Aunt!" Linlin called out sweetly and waved her hand. Sisi, who was standing next to her, also called out.

"Mom, you're back!" Qin Mu, Xiaoxiao, Qin Xiao and Yueyue all gathered around.

"I was wondering why you guys weren't at home? Turns out you were playing here!" Su Panpan came over with a large plate of candied haws.

"Wow, candied haws, Mom, did you make them?" Qin Xiao asked curiously.

"Yes, come on, take one each." Su Panpan handed a candied haws to each child in turn.

The children ran away playing with the candied haws.

Wang Hexiang and Lin Xiu'e were busy in the house.

Su Panpan walked forward with a smile, handed over a candied haws, and said, "Auntie Wang, come and try my new candied haws."

"They're making candied haws!" Wang Hexiang looked at the hawthorns wrapped in crystal clear sugar coating, her eyes full of surprise.

She took a light bite, and with a "crack", the sugar coating instantly shattered, and the sweet taste flowed in her mouth like a clear spring.

Then, the sweet and sour taste of hawthorn slowly rises to the tip of the tongue. The sour taste just neutralizes the sweetness of sugar, making people salivate.

Wang Hexiang tasted it carefully and nodded continuously: "Oh, this candied haws is really delicious, sweet and sour, and the sugar coating is crispy and not sticky."

Lin Xiu'e came out from another room when she heard the sound, and Su Panpan hurriedly handed her some candied haws.

Lin Xiu'e took it, examined it carefully, and exclaimed: "This candied haws is so beautifully made, it makes me want to eat it just by looking at it."

She took a bite, and the crisp sound of the sugar coating and the rich fruity aroma of hawthorn spread in her mouth.

The sweetness of the icing is just right, not too sweet, but still giving people a satisfying sweet feeling.

The sour taste of hawthorn becomes more mellow under the sugar coating, with a strong fruity aroma.

After tasting it, Lin Xiu'e couldn't help but praise it, "Mmm, it tastes really good, Panpan, you're really capable. This candied haws has a rich and layered taste that leaves a lasting impression."

When Zhang Fulai saw the candied haws, he happily took it.

He bit off a hawthorn and was immediately amazed, his eyes lighting up.

The mouth is a mixture of sweetness and sourness, and the crispness of the sugar coating and the softness of the hawthorn form a sharp contrast in the mouth.

The smell brought him back to his youth.

Zhang Fulai pointed at the candied haws in his hand and said excitedly: "This candied haws, this candied haws, it tastes like my childhood."

"When I was a child, my father would always bring me a string of candied haws every time he came back from a trip. I still remember the sour and sweet taste and unique texture. My father once told me with great pride that these candied haws were made by the chef in the imperial kitchen after he left the palace, and the taste was unparalleled. Since then, I have been thinking about this unique taste. However, as time passed, the chef also passed away. Later, I tried the candied haws from countless restaurants, but I never tasted the taste of my childhood again." Zhang Fulai paused and wiped away his tears.

"I thought I would never be able to taste this flavor again. But I never thought that I would taste this familiar taste again today! This taste instantly brought back my childhood memories, as if my father was standing in front of me again, looking at me lovingly as I savored this delicious candied haws." Zhang Fulai was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears, his face was full of tears, and his appearance was very touching.

Wang Hexiang wiped his tears, patted his back, and felt sorry for him.
