After talking to Mu Jiaojiao, the women left. They still had to help with the funeral of Widow Li. As they were all from the same village, they wanted to let the person they had known for so many years rest in peace.

Mu Jiaojiao also asked Zhao Xiangyi to send one or two taels of silver to Liu Lizheng to buy the things needed for the funeral.

Although she and Li Ruhua don't get along, it's not really that they don't get along. She doesn't take Li Ruhua seriously, but Li Ruhua wants to send her to hell!

But all this has nothing to do with her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law is also a poor person!

Her husband and son died, and finally she was killed by her daughter-in-law.

“So, it’s so important to marry a virtuous wife!”

Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh in the yard.

"Well, my lady is right."

Jiang Jin looked at his wife with a burning gaze, a smug smile on his face. Mu Jiaojiao could see from his eyes that he meant, "My wife, Jiang Jin, is virtuous!"

Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help but tiptoe to pinch Jiang Jin's face. This man was acting like a peacock day by day.

Don’t ask why I’m standing on tiptoe, it’s because of the height difference!

"Mother...mother..."

At this time, the voice of Jiang Mingxiao's kid came from outside the courtyard gate, and soon Meng He appeared in the yard holding his short legs.

"Where have you been? You've rolled over like a cat."

Mu Jiaojiao turned around and saw her dirty child, covered in mud, not a single spot clean. She looked disgusted.

"Hehe...Mother, Fish."

Xiao Zaizi was still laughing, and when he saw Mu Jiaojiao, he instinctively wanted to throw himself into his mother's arms.

But halfway through, he found that he could not move. A big hand was holding his head down and he could not move forward at all.

"Mother, Father...&&...Xiao'er"

Jiang Mingxiao chattered a lot to Mu Jiaojiao. Forgive her for only being able to understand a few words.

"It's so dirty!"

Seeing this, Jiang Jin's eyes were full of disgust, which was simply thorough. He was just short of saying, "Stay away from my wife!"

"Ahem... Little Master, Little Master, we went fishing for a while, and I didn't keep an eye on him, and Xiao'er rolled over like this."

Seeing this, Meng He couldn't help laughing and pretended to cough twice to explain that he had become obsessed with fishing recently. Whenever he was tired of studying suturing and medicinal herbs, he would carry Jiang Mingxiao to go fishing.

"I heard from the villagers that the widow Li had passed away. I thought it would be bad for the child to be bumped into outside, so I quickly brought Xiao'er back."

Then Meng He sighed: "It's true that things in this world are so unpredictable!"

“Things in the world are unpredictable, but what matters is our actions.”

Mu Jiaojiao did not refute Meng He's words, but just added a sentence, then she showed mercy and walked over to rescue Xiao cub from his father's clutches.

"My Lady, hehe..."

After Xiao came out, he smiled foolishly at his mother happily.

"Ouch..."

Just then, Xue Er saw his little master coming back, and he ran over happily to rub Zhao Zaizi's legs. Xue Er, who was growing very fast, couldn't control his strength, and with a pounce, he knocked Xiao Zaizi to the ground.

Jiang Mingxiao, who was already dirty, looked confused and didn't understand why he was on the ground again?

Then, no one knew whether he figured it out or not, but he climbed up grunting, looked at Xue Er beside him, hugged him, and then the man and the wolf were finally both settled.

"puff"

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao looked disgusted but couldn't help laughing out loud.

Meng He also smiled beside him, a loving smile. He really liked this little boy Jiang Mingxiao.

*

About three days later, the villagers of Lihua Village worked together to bury Widow Li. Everyone was quite united. Those who had money contributed money, and those who had no money contributed labor.

Just when Lihua Village had returned to its old days of working from sunrise to sunset, an unexpected person arrived at Mu Jiaojiao's home.

"Madam, Yu Danping is here."

Mu Jiaojiao was leading Zhao Xiangyi, Meng He, Liu Nian and others to plow the soil in their own three acres of land. When she was about to use the remaining land from growing vegetables last time to grow pepper seedlings, Wushuang came from home to tell her the news.

"Yu Danping?"

Mu Jiaojiao was a little confused. Why did this person come?

"Is Jin home?"

Mu Jiaojiao asked Wushuang, Jiang Jin has been busy with the bandit suppression in Niutou Mountain these days, and they have been exchanging letters more frequently recently. He did not avoid Mu Jiaojiao, and Mu Jiaojiao also roughly understood that her man was probably going to do something big.

"The master means that the mistress should go back and take a look."

Wushuang spoke to Mu Jiaojiao without any expression on his face, neither arrogant nor humble.

"Alright! Xiangyi, old man, you guys continue tilling the soil. I'm going to go back first."

Mu Jiaojiao gave instructions to a few people, then picked up Xiao Zaizi, who was playing with Xue Er on the ridge and was sweating profusely, and went back.

When Xue Er saw that his little master and big master had left, he shook his fur left and right, then dragged his tongue and happily followed Mu Jiaojiao's pace.

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help but complain: "Xue Er, you are a wolf, not a dog! Why are you acting so dog-like?"

Xue Er: "Woof...Woof..."

Xue'er thought that the master might like it to bark like a dog, so she showed her skills to Mu Jiaojiao.

Mu Jiaojiao: "..." This Xue Er's IQ is worrying...

"Sure enough, you are just like your little master, heartless and not very smart."

As she spoke, Mu Jiaojiao pinched the dirty baby in her arms, what a character.

It is true that the wolf is like its master. Xue Da in their house is relatively stable and quiet. He often sleeps in the shade in the yard. Sometimes he goes to the study to read with Zhao Zaizi.

But Xue Er is different. He has fun all day long. He goes out for a walk every day with Xiaozizi and Meng He. He can't calm down at all.

Just as Mu Jiaojiao was thinking about all these things, she arrived at the outer gate of her courtyard and walked in holding her baby.

In the inner courtyard, Xia Jin and Yu Danping were seen sitting at a bamboo table drinking lotus leaf chrysanthemum tea. The two did not talk much, just sitting quietly. The chrysanthemums were discovered by Mu Jiaojiao in the back mountain in recent days.

"I wonder what brings you here, Master Yu?"

When Mu Jiaojiao got closer, she found that Yu Danping was much thinner than the last time she saw him at the garrison office. Combined with his crazy behavior at the execution ground, Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh.

It’s not that I feel pity or sympathy for Yu Danping, I just feel that this era is really difficult for ordinary people.

"Madam Mu, Danping came here uninvited. He wanted to follow Master Xia and do something to make a living."

When Yu Danping saw Mu Jiaojiao coming, he stood up and bowed to her. Although he had been locked up in the "rabbit house" for the past five years, he had indeed learned some things, such as writing and etiquette.

"What will Master Yu do?"

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao signaled him not to do so, then glanced at her man and watched him smile gently at her.

Of course I understood. Her husband said clearly that he didn't lack anyone, and he thought Yu Danping was good and wanted to give her to herself!

When Yu Danping heard Mu Jiaojiao's question, a hint of expectation flashed across his face. He was a smart person and had experienced great hardships, so it was no problem for him to read people's expressions. Since Mu Jiaojiao asked, it meant there was hope.

"Can write."

But when he thought about what he could answer, he felt a little embarrassed, his face turned red, and he pinched the hem of his clothes with his hands.

Now that he can't carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands, the only thing he can do is write.

"Well, in a few days, I'll take you to learn accounting and business management from Jin Baoer, the young master of Jin Yu Man Tang!"

Although Yu Danping was shy and embarrassed, Mu Jiaojiao didn't think it was a big deal. She admired this person. There were not many people who could cheer up and live a good life after experiencing such a great adversity.

She decided to let him learn business. If he succeeded, it would pave the way for her future business plans.

"Danping thanks Madam Mu and Master Xia!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Danping's tone was excited and full of gratitude. It was indeed because of Mu Jiaojiao and her husband that he could stand here with dignity today.

Otherwise, I might have died of torture under that osmanthus tree...

【My dears:

My fever finally subsided!

May Day is half over!

Did everyone have fun?

Hahahahaha...

Happy May Day!
