Even if Fu Qiu Shuang heard her thoughts here, she probably wouldn't take it to heart. It's so good to be free and easy when you go out at home. Who would be so stupid as to squeeze in with her and compete with her?

Fu Erlang and his family happily went back to their room to pack up their things. Although the old house was dilapidated, it was a small house with two courtyards. It was just located in the west of the city, quite far away from the city.

However, land is very expensive in the capital, and even a small house like this is worth thousands of taels. I don’t know why my stepmother agreed to give it to them.

Old Master Fu also gave Fu Erlang a private stash of money in the form of one thousand taels of silver notes, and told him not to tell anyone about it. There wasn't much left in the old house, and the two hundred taels they had divided were not enough to last, so the one thousand taels would be used to buy some furniture and the like.

Fu Erlang wanted to refuse, but was stopped firmly by Old Man Fu. Fu Erlang had to accept it with shame. After all, his sister had given him two thousand taels of silver notes, and the old man didn't know about it and still subsidized them.

There was no way to let the old man know about this matter. The whole thing happened when his sister left Beijing, so Fu Erlang kept it a secret.

If his life gets better in the future, he will definitely be filial to his grandfather.

When Fu learned about the separation of the family property by her brothers from her natal family, she was instructing Fu Qiushuang on how to write. She hired a female teacher to teach her calligraphy, needlework, and etiquette.

Fu Qiushuang knew how to be grateful and knew that opportunities were hard to come by. Even Fu Qiuyue in the Fu family did not have the opportunity to have a female teacher hired by the family to teach her individually, so she studied very hard.

She also knew that her aunt was repaying her father and mother for the help they had given her that day. These days, she was studying with the female teacher, and her aunt was very caring. Fu Qiu Shuang was very touched, so she often accompanied Fu to talk and play chess.

At first she thought her aunt wanted to marry her to her cousin, but her aunt had also said before that her cousin's sweetheart was Princess Huide. Could it be that she wanted her to be her cousin's concubine?

Fu Qiu Shuang was unwilling in her heart, but later her aunt hired a female teacher for her and taught her what a mistress of the house should learn. She knew that this was not what her aunt meant.

The steward of the Fu family was sent to the Zhao Mansion by Mr. Fu and Mrs. Hu to report the matter of the division of the Fu family so that the aunt would also know about the family affairs.

Fu Qiushuang also knew that their family had been divided out. She was very happy that her family had finally been divided out and she didn't have to suffer at home all day long.

But then she became a little worried. She was already fourteen years old and of course knew what the division of the family meant. Their second wife was just a concubine's son and the second son. Most of the family property was the dowry from her grandmother, so more would definitely be left to the first wife.

Where are her parents going to move to? Fu Qiu Shuang couldn't help but feel anxious and wanted to go home to see them.

Fu gave Manager Fu a reward of two taels of silver and sent him back. Turning back, she saw Fu Qiu Shuang's brows suddenly frowned and then happy, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

She walked over and tapped her forehead, saying angrily, "Silly girl, why are you so anxious? Didn't you hear what Manager Fu said? Your family got the old house and two hundred taels of silver notes, so you'll have a place to live even if you move out."

Fu was not surprised that Fu Erlang got such a small share, but it didn't matter. She had already subsidized Erlang a little. When Erlang and his wife worked with her in the future, their future life would definitely not be bad.

She didn't tell Fu Qiu Shuang that she had given her the banknotes, but only said that she would give her a day off in a few days to go home and visit.

A few days ago, my mother sent another letter, in which she expressed her difficulties and how much she felt sorry for her. She also said that when she sent someone to the house, she and my father didn't know about it, and it was my sister-in-law who drove away Mrs. Qian because she was afraid that she would bring trouble to the family.

They also said that Qiuyue was old enough to get married, and they had always been happy to agree to her marriage with Mingyuan. They wanted Qiu Shuang to go home and let Qiuyue come to accompany her while they waited for Zhao Wu and his son to come home.

Fu's disappointment grew. Her parents had put all the blame on her eldest sister-in-law. Did they think she was a fool? Her eldest sister-in-law was also pathetic, betrayed by her in-laws and husband.

But it was impossible for Fu to let Fu Qiuyue enter her Zhao Mansion again. Xiao Wan was the daughter-in-law she loved most, and no one else could accept her.

Xiao Wan, who was being thought of, was extremely busy at this time. Although she was already a county lord, it was impossible for her to live a life of luxury like the county lord, doing nothing and just waiting for the taxes from the fiefdom to be paid to her.

Of course, she didn't want to be the richest woman in Da Qi. She just felt that she could do more things and accumulate more wealth while she was young to deal with the risks she might face in the future.

At this time, the Xiao family workshop had been fully built, the tools were in place, and the staff had been recruited.

Chen Xin also returned with a small group of villagers who had gone out, and brought back a lot of order forms.
